BTTS 260




Chapter 260. Crossed the river, destroy the bridge


It was fine when Mother Zhou hadn't said anything. Now she brought it up, Zhou Qing Bai missed his wife even more.

On the surface, he appeared unchanged and had no reactions at all. However, who was Mother Zhou? Zhou Qing Bai came out of her belly.

She could tell what her son was thinking.

This time Lin Qing He had left a lot of delicious food.

Wasn't it just to let her man eat more and take advantage of the present moment to rest properly?

She and her eldest son soon arrived in the capital.

They arrived at school in the evening on the ninth.

Lin Qing He passed a meat crepe to her eldest son and dinner was over like that.

She went back to the dormitory with a bundle.

There weren't many things, so she didn't need her eldest son to send her back. When she reached the dorm, Wang Li was already waiting.

She was very happy to see her back, and said, "I knew you would be almost here."

"You didn't go back this winter vacation, feel homesick?" Lin Qing He smiled.

"I do. But it's okay. The father and son will come after the New Year." Wang Li grinned.

Before the spring plowing, it was indeed possible to make a trip over.

Zhou Qing Bai had planned to do that, but Lin Qing He disallowed him. How many days back and forth on the road? Very tormenting. Better to rest at home. They had just met during the New Year, right?

"You went back, so probably don't know." Wang Li whispered.

"What's up?" Lin Qing He responded when she sensed she had news.

"At the end of last year, on the 27th, Chen Xue's man brought their son and daughter over to find her. He wanted to take her back to celebrate the New Year." Wang Li said.

"Did it get ugly?" Lin Qing He didn't have much interest when she heard it was this. Still, she went along and asked.

She originally thought a new development happened during the New Year.

"You guessed it," Wang Li said, "The three of them came here just to pick her up for the New Year. Guess what she did?"

Without Lin Qing He asking, she went on.

Chen Xue instantly brought up divorce. This news was naturally a large blow to that man.

It wasn't like he couldn't accept it. When he came over, he expected this. After all, this was a national occurrence, not a local trend.

And since this wife, Chen Xue came to study, she never went back. With this attitude, how could he not tell?

To divorce just like that was impossible. That man wanted to fix it.

He brought their children to get Chen Xue back. However, Chen Xue refused to. She steeled her heart and rejected.

It was unknown who told that man that Chen Xue was with a male educated youth and the matter of her being pregnant and miscarriage.

Before the man left, he somehow found Chen Xue's guy and he beat until he got admitted to the hospital.

Then he took his children back.

Before going back, he had warned Chen Xue to not regret it. From now on, the two children will never recognize her as their mother!

Many people, who went to spectate, sighed.

"Those two children are all clever, especially the son. I guess he will become a talent when he grows up. To abandoned her husband and children, what exactly is she planning?" Wang Li said.

In her opinion, that man can shoulder responsibility nor was he spineless like an ordinary farmer. In fact, his background was really good. His family had it easy.

But Chen Xue was dissatisfied. Probably because that man as well as the two children symbolizes that she once bowed her head to reality.

That's why, when she turned a new leaf now, she wanted to cover her past humiliation.

Lin Qing He can guess this without asking. Why else did so many men want to abandon their wives after they have made a fortune?

Because their wife saw them at his worst and most embarrassing time. On the other hand, the third wheel saw what he looked like after he succeeded.

Some people crossed the river and destroyed the bridge as they want to keep away such a dark history.


"Now it's like, can the two of them stay together?" Wang Li continued to gossip.

Lin Qing He pondered this seriously, and said, "They will still separate."

"Why? The two's love is truer than solid gold. They appeared unswerving. It won't be easy to separate?" Wang Li said.

"No matter how true their love and determination is, it will not change the fact that the two's reputation is stinky all the way home. They will be assigned jobs in the future. With their virtue, how well off can they end up? At that time, it'll be the matter of each seeking their own thing." Lin Qing He responded.

Wang Li felt a surge of emotion. She stopped talking about them, and changed the topic, "Do you have any plans then?"

"I plan to work at the university." Lin Qing He smiled and revealed to her in advance.

Wang Li wasn't surprised. She nodded, "With your grades, you should work at the university. I plan to go back to our county city."

"With your degree, it's better to go to your municipal city. The development prospects are better." Lin Qing He said.

"It's too far away from home." Wang Li hesitated. She wanted to go too.

Lin Qing He smiled, Wang Li was family-oriented, just like her. It was no wonder that the two can get along well.


"Going to the city will be beneficial to your children's education in the future. If you are worried that your man will have nothing to do there, then get him to open a shop. There so many farm products in his hometown, right? Just move and sell them. It can make money." Lin Qing He suggested.

"Be a self-employed? That would be shameful." Wang Li shook her head at once after hearing this.

"If you think it's embarrassing to rely on your own hands and your own brain to eat, then pretend I didn't say it. Anyway, I plan to bring my man and children over. At that time, we'll open a shop and let him sell school supplies." Lin Qing He stated.

"This... can this work?" Wang Li was doubtful.

"In the future, take a look at the situation. It's too early to say this now." Lin Qing He smiled.

Wang Li nodded, it was indeed early.

Now they were back to school, naturally, a new round of learning will begin.

Lin Qing He and Wang Li began their three points lifetstyle.

The dorm, classroom, and library were basically the three places she paced around back and forth.

"My head is numb. Qing He, why are you not tired?" After returning from the library that day, Wang Li went straight to bed and uttered in exhaustion.

"My eldest just gave me two eggs. One for you." Lin Qing He passed her a boiled egg and said.

"Then I won't hold back." Wang Li smiled and accepted the egg, "By the way, where did Xiao Kai get the boiled egg?"

"He bought a basket of eggs and put it in his classmate's house. He asked his classmate to cook two to eat." Lin Qing He peeled the eggshell and answered.

"You done well with son. He's a good lad." Wang Li said enviously.

"Your man and child are coming tomorrow, right." Lin Qing He grinned.

"Most likely tomorrow." Wang Li beamed as well.

  1. You know, while I can definitely see Qing Bai as the Domineering CEO type, I have a hard time imagining him as the entry level salesman/small business owner. 🤔 Well whatever I think from his POV any work that lets him stay close to his wife is good 😂

  2. I like this novel more after reading the upper commentor. I realize that I'm reading a story with a ML with a humble background and not a powerful one who owns big company but still reliable and can be a support to his wife. Really nice~

    1. Agree. It's just like Lin Qing He said, why is it shameful to rely on your own hands and your own brain to eat? It shows grit and tenacity, even more than someone who's already at a high-flying position face on a daily basis. Life is harder starting from the bottom than from the top, and it takes real courage and perseverance to achieve that.

      I suppose that, well, most c-novels sells dreams, hence the abundance of CEOs. But I think it's a shame that the responsible, middle-class guy gets underestimated and underrepresented because of that.

  3. Thanks for the chapter!

    The father and son will after the New Year." -> will came after the New Year

    They appeared unswerving. Afraid, it won't be easy to separate?" Wang Li said. -> second sentence needs some rewording


    "If you think it's embarrassing to rely on your own hands and your own brain to eat, then pretend I didn't say it. Anyway, I plan to bring all my men and children over. At that time, we'll open a shop and let him sell school supplies. "Lin Qing He stated. -> bravo Lin Wing He! *clap clap* I plan to bring all, my men and children over/I plan to bring my men and all my children over/remove 'all' and space after last "

    Xue was with a male educated youth and the matter of her being pregnant and miscarried. -> miscarriage

    "Your man and children are coming tomorrow, right." Lin Qing He grinned. -> child (they have one son right? Might have been written as children tho, you never know)

  6. I was so reticent before about reading a 700 something chapter novel but this one, oh gosh. I'm completely hooked and love dearly our Qing He family. And Qing Bai is such a good man, I like his type more than other Chinese ML out there: hard working, family oriented, fully supporting his wife's independence, and with his heart set on his woman... Ahh, to find a man like this, only in novels *sobs*

    Thank you so much for working hard bringing us the chapters, dear translator! Please stay safe ������
