BTTS 288




Chapter 288. Want compensation


Just a few days before Zhang Mei He's marrying away was told to Lin Qing He by Aunt Ma.

"She's like that and there are still people who want her?" Lin Qing He said without concealing her contempt.

"In this world, it's only men who can't marry a wife. Not women who can't marry out." Aunt Ma replied stubbornly.

This was true. Even if a woman was a little ugly, but as long as she can take care of the family, then there was no worry about marrying. A lot of men were rushing to want her.

"Afraid the fact that she can't have a child is true." Lin Qing He mentioned.

She guessed that the root illness must have sprouted at that time. If not, she would have children when she was married in the countryside, no?

"That's for sure. I heard that the man is a widower. He has a son and a girl. When she married out, she can be a mother without giving birth." Aunt Ma said.

"Then she reaped a large benefit. As long as she didn't continue to act up and raise the children well, the children will definitely remember her kindness." Lin Qing He responded.

Now that she had married out, she won't continue to kick a woman when she's down, especially when it seems that the distance is far away and there will be less opportunity to meet.

"It would be weird if she can live in peace." Aunt Ma snorted.

Lin Qing He froze for a moment, and asked, "Could it be that something else happened?"

"You don't know. I only heard about it these two days." Aunt Ma told her.

It turned out that before Zhang Mei He's last abortion, she had aborted another. Very few people knew about it. No one wanted to be nosy at that time.

This was recently revealed.

It came out because of her infertility. She had aborted two babies for two different men one after another. It accumulated sins. That's why she couldn't get pregnant.

Also, with that temperament, she won't sit still. After marrying over, can she live in peace?

Aunt Ma felt it was impossible.

Lin Qing He shook her head. She didn't care.

Just when she went home, she ran into Zhang Mei Lian.

"Auntie, sorry. My sister is married now. She will never display that kind of embarrassment in the future." Zhang Mei Lian said to Lin Qing He.

Lin Qing He glanced at her: "According to generation, I have to call your mother aunt. I can't bear to let you call me aunt. Still, one matter is one matter. Now that she is married, the past will stay as the past. "

She didn't want to have anything to do with old Zhang family.

After speaking, she entered her house.

Zhang Mei Lian wanted to say more, but she was blocked by the door. She could only grit her teeth. She took the initiative to seek reconciliation, but unexpectedly, she won't give face!

Lin Qing He went home and continued to read her own books. Did she, who became the first English teacher of Bei University since the college entrance examination recovery, have it easy?

She had to charge herself (with knowledge) all the time.

Soon, Er Wa and San Wa came back.

Lin Qing He put down the book temporarily and said, "Bring me this exam's test paper."

Er Wa brought it over. Since he came to the capital, he had worked very hard. That's why his grades were very good. Even if he was a new transfer student, his grades were in the top three in the class and the top ten in his year.

In the capital, the competition was indeed great.

This time, Er Wa had improved. Last time, he was tenth in his year. This time he was eighth. He was careless on one question. If not, he could dash up two ranks.

After all, he was really not far behind the two above.

Compared with Er Wa who was hovering in the top ten of the grade, San Wa was more of a salty fish.

He ranked in the top 50 in his year. Not going up nor down. There were nine classes in that year. So ranking 50 wasn't bad.

But to say it was great... it was rank fifty.

"Mom, I left the football with my classmates for them to play. You can buy me one more." San Wa said.

He originally had classmates in his hometown. Since finding out that he was leaving during the New Year, he gave it to them. Which was considered as a memento.

"Sure. As long as you reach the top 30 in your year, I will buy you a football." Lin Qing He nodded.

"Top 30?" San Wa's eyes lit up: "You promise?"

"When did I never kept my words?" Lin Qing He said: "Next time you work hard and achieve it, I can buy it." 

"Alright!" San Wa nodded.

Lin Qing He turned to Er Wa: "Don't always study. You should buy a basketball tomorrow and play basketball after school before coming back."

Er Wa happily agreed.

When the grades are great, Lin Qing He was very generous. Besides, boys. They got to play basketball.

Mother and two sons didn't come to the dumpling shop for dinner until seven o'clock in the evening.

Zhou Kai had cooked the soup.

Turnip & bone soup. He also stir-fried two more dishes and steam a pot of mantou. Dinner was ready.

Speaking of which, except for cooking at the apartment when they first came, they didn't continue cooking since the dumpling shop opened.

There wasn't much oiliness and smoke at home. Lin Qing He was pleased.

"How is this soup today?" Zhou Qing Bai asked.

"Delicious." Lin Qing He nodded.

"It can't be that it was dad who made it?" Both Er Wa and San Wa looked at their dad in surprise. [T/N: I'm surprised as well. Raw said it was Little Kai who made it]

"Without a doubt. Dad made it." Zhou Kai confirmed.

Lin Qing He looked at Zhou Qing Bai in surprise when she heard this. Her Qing Bai actually stewed radish & bone soup?

This man seems to only know how to make dumplings. As for the rest, he didn't know how to. It was like it was his natural incapability.

Never thought he was able to make soup now?

"Small matter." Zhou Qing Bai's lips curved slightly and calmly drank the radish & bone soup.

"Did my dad unlock a new ability because of making dumplings and master everything?" Er Wa asked.

"I think it's possible. Your dad is very likely to become a chef in the future." Lin Qing He nodded.

"Then you are blessed, Mother." San Wa said.

"That's right. By marrying your dad, I am more than blessed in taste-wise." Lin Qing He glanced at Zhou Qing Bai. She wasn't stingy about feeding dog food to her three sons.

Zhou Qing Bai had smiles in his eyes.

It was true. Since that day, Zhou Qing Bai seemed to have become enlightened and begun to do everything.

Lin Qing He whispered to him on the bed: "Did you know how to make it from the beginning? You just wanted me to make it for you before?"

"I didn't know how to before. Don't know what's going on recently, I know to put salt." Zhou Qing Bai said innocently.

He used to want to help his wife with the cooking, but he was basically kicked out.

Recently, he seems to be enlightened. A moderate amount of salt was added and the fried dishes won't stick to the pot.

The guests all praised that his dumplings were delicious. It was true. There were many repeat customers.

"I don't care, I want you to compensate me." Lin Qing He shamelessly demanded.

"How to make up?" Zhou Qing Bai's eyes darkened.

Then, Lin Qing He succeeded in getting her own compensation.  Slightly excessively compensated as her legs were still a little weak when heading to class the next day.

    4. You know, I like how she emphasizes education without going over board. She wants her kids to have a real childhood, not just doing school for a job someday. As they get older and realize how unusual sphere parenting style is, they're gonna be super grateful.

      Well. I'm not sure bout the youngest.

      He feels like a troublemaker lol

    6. Not being condescending here at all, it’s genuinely a little impressive that he figured out the right amount of salt right away and didn’t spend some time bouncing between bland and waaay too much salt. Which is the sort of thing people do when they’re learning to cook.

      1. I suppose all the times he spent in the kitchen watching her, he might have remembered what she did. He is observant bout some things.
