Chapter 256. Visiting relatives
Third Brother Lin and Third Sister-in-law Lin brought their three daughters and two sons over.
It was later when Third Brother Lin and his wife had another son. A total of five children.
The whole family came together.
The old Lin family finally realized that Lin Qing He, this daughter was really cruel. She kept her words and won't recognize them as family.
For example, the previous time when Father Lin fell ill and went to the hospital. The other two daughters came back to visit him. Only Lin Qing He, who knew about it, didn't even come to visit from start to finish.
Lin Qing He's two sisters had sought Lin Qing He and advised her not to care about those fleeting matters.
Lin Qing He had no feelings for these two sisters at all. Whether it was the original owner or her, they didn't even want to deal with it. Especially looking at their begging look, she felt annoyed to the max.
Basically, they had no contact.
As for Eldest Lin and Second Lin, it needn't be said. Their relationship with Lin Qing He was bad. How could they possibly interact with each other?
They heard about her getting admitted to the best university in the capital.
But what had it got to do with old Lin Family?
She has attended literacy classes a few times before. What was taught in the literacy classes? Teach you to recognize the two words male and female, so that one can distinguish between male and female toilets. The rest were other simple and common ones.
The original owner had pleaded to go to school but that was rejected immediately.
So being able to become a middle school teacher out of nowhere and later get admitted to a university had nothing to do with old Lin family.
After all, it was spread all over outside.
It was said that she married into the old Zhou Family because Zhou Qing Bai's allowance could support her at the time. Only then she was able to study by herself and became successful.
Old Lin family really didn't put any effort into Lin Qing He.
In the beginning, it was possible to come over to throw their weight around. But was Zhoujia village that easy to bully?
Why was it called Zhoujia village? That was because most of the last names in the village were Zhou.
Moreover, Lin Qing He was a married-off daughter. A long time ago, she frequently supplemented her maternal family. Although the relationship was broken later, who didn't know that it was due to old Lin Family's unfeeling?
So they didn't dare to make trouble at all. They just cursed Lin Qing He secretly. It didn't hurt her at all, so how could Lin Qing He care.
They probably knew that Third Brother Lin would come over today since they visit the same day every year.
Mother Lin told him to pass on her words, let her few grandsons to come over and visit them.
Truthfully, Third Sister-in-law Lin didn't want to help her mother-in-law pass the message at all.
The first three of her children were daughters. Third Sister-in-law Lin will never forget the postnatal confinements in this life, especially with her second and third daughter.
Not a single egg was fed. Just some bit of mash all day long.
Had it not been for Third Sister sending over some meat and eggs, her body and bones would really gain a root illness during postnatal confinement.
So Third Sister-in-law Lin detested her mother-in-law. Why else would she push Third Brother Lin to move out in the past?
Even though she didn't want to, she must. So when she was assisting in the kitchen, she brought it up to this Third Sister.
Lin Qing He sneered: "She has a lot of grandsons and granddaughters of her own. My boys are just grandchildren (of different surname). Since they were young, they haven't eaten a grain of her rice or sip a glass of her water. There is no need to go and see her."
Even if she was the mother of her body, that won't work on her.
Even when Zhou Kai and the others were indeed her grandsons, so what? She didn't want her sons to go and have any interaction with old Lin family.
Otherwise, once they latch on, they'll suck blood like a leech.
Especially Eldest Sister-in-law Lin, who was a smiling tiger.
Third Sister-in-law Lin was only responsible for passing on the words. Then she changed the subject at once: "That side won't stay peaceful. That one from the second branch got entangled with that widow again. The widow is currently pregnant."
"It's Second Lin's?" Lin Qing He was surprised when she heard this.
"The widow insisted that it was his. From his reaction, he wanted to admit it. But his family's wife didn't agree. Recently, there's a lot of ruckuses," said Third Sister-in-law Lin.
"Fortunately, you two moved out at that time. If not, don't think about celebrating this New Year." Lin Qing He responded.
"I let out a sigh of relief at the beginning." Third Sister-in-law Lin grinned.
In fact, if Third Sister hadn't been so supportive at that time and lent money as well as helping with the bricks, tiles, and the pot, then she wouldn't necessarily have that determination.
After all, it wasn't easy to move out.
But now, it was really better. This year, a side room had been build at home. Her daughters moved in there, making it much more spacious.
"I told my brother yesterday that it's enough that the person can come. Why bring such a large basket of eggs over? After saving for a long time, you brought them all over here, right?" Lin Qing He said.
The couple came with five children and they weren't empty-handed. They also came with a basket of eggs and grains.
"This year we got seven or eight hens at home. The children always dig for earthworms to feed them. They lay eggs frequently." Third Sister-in-law Lin smiled in assurance.
Such a smile obviously only appeared on the face of a woman who has hope in life.
Now that she got two sons. Her man had a sense of responsibility and can support the family. Her family was together. Even if they were a little poorer, they had a comfortable life.
"This year, San Wa sprouted a lot. The clothes I made before can't be worn. All of them are new and never been repaired. Take them back and keep them for the brothers to wear." Lin Qing He said.
"There are also many children here." Third Sister-in-law Lin hesitated.
At this time, it wasn't embarrassing to use elder brothers' hand-me-down. Let alone being unashamed, they desired it.
What's more, it was due to a good relationship. If not, who would give it? After all, her Third Sister's in-law's house had many nephews of the same age.
"Don't need to worry about them. Take them back and keep them for your boys to wear." Lin Qing He assured.
After a filling lunch, Third Brother Lin's family went back. Lin Qing He filled a bag with clothes and packed a bag of brown sugar and a bag of red dates for Third Sister-in-law to take home.
"Mother, are we still going to the city to take pictures this year?" Zhou Kai asked.
"Going. Your Eldest Aunt, Second Aunt, and Third Aunt will be visiting tomorrow. There's no time to go. Let's go the day after tomorrow." Lin Qing He replied.
"Okay." Zhou Kai acknowledged.
This was what the New Year's Day was like. Relatives get connected. After Third Brother Lin and Third Sister-in-law Lin went back, some people from the village came to sit around.
Lin Qing He politely entertained them. There was no shortage of melon seeds and tea.
It wasn't until dinner was over in the evening when it all ended. At this time, snow fell again.
"Qing Bai, give me a massage." Lin Qing He laid comfortably on the kang and began to order on her own man.
Zhou Qing Bai complied. As he massaged, the mood changed.
Then the two rested early.
Outside Zhou Kai and others kept playing.
