 Chapter 304. Marry into the capital city

Lin Qing He won't be polite with this niece. She didn't even make a noise when she entered the door. She straightforwardly said, "Yang Yang and Wu Ni is going over to study. What are you going over for?"

"Didn't my fourth uncle open a dumpling shop? I'll help at the dumpling shop. My grandmother agreed to it." Zhou Liu Ni stated.

Lin Qing He laughed when she heard this. She looked at Zhou Liu Ni and said: "It's your fourth uncle's shop, why are you asking grandmother? Your grandmother never intervenes in my family affairs."

She wanted to use her grandmother to suppress her. Her thought wasn't pure at all.

Mother Zhou unreservedly refuted Zhou Liu Ni, "When did I agree?"

"Grandmother, didn't you say that you will talk on my behalf with Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt." Zhou Liu Ni was very thick-skinned. She unashamedly said.

"Talking on your behalf isn't agreeing. You are playing a straw man trick." Lin Qing He glanced at her and said.

"Fourth Aunt, you let them go, but you won't agree to me going. Are you look down on our family (second branch)?" Zhou Liu Ni continued.

"Go and ask your mother. See if I look down on your family." Lin Qing He didn't bother speaking with her and said: "Yang Yang and Wu Ni have to study, go home."

Lin Qing He won't easily stoop down to the below younger generation's level. However, with Zhou Liu Ni, she really had no patience.

From an early age, she acted enigmatic and sharp-tongued.

She liked to be petty and compare everything.

What else can Zhou Liu Ni do? Naturally, she can only go home.

As soon as she left, Mother Zhou spoke, "Actually, it's not a bad idea to let Liu Ni go over and help Qing Bai. It's not difficult to wash dishes or something."

Mother Zhou did want this granddaughter to go over. After all, it was her own family's.

Lin Qing He chuckled: "Come on, Mother. If you introduce another, I would think it's fine. I plan to with Eldest Sister-in-law about Er Ni and let her go over there to help me. I will pay monthly."

"You're planning to have Er Ni go over to help?" Mother Zhou immediately parroted at once.

"Can't?" Lin Qing He said.

"My mother is looking for a partner for my second sister." Zhou Yang answered.

Zhou Yang and Zhou Er Ni were both Eldest Sister-in-law and Eldest Brother's kids.

"How old is Er Ni?" Lin Qing He was shocked.

"She will be eighteen after the new year." Zhou Yang said.

In the countryside, it was indeed possible to marry at this age.

Lin Qing He spoke, "It's not like the past anymore. It's not too late to leave marriage until 22. I will go over and talk to Eldest Sister-in-law."

"Then don't want Liu Ni?" Mother Zhou asked.

Lin Qing He stated: "Mother, ask Wu Ni. See what kind of personality Liu Ni has."

Zhou Wu Ni said frankly: "Grandmother, don't casually give referrals. Liu Ni is a person who doesn't do anything. She pushes all the chores at home to San Ni. After the family finish eating, she just wipes her mouth and leaves. She never washes the dishes or mops the floor. Also, she always talks ill of others behind their back. Going over to Fourth Uncle's shop like this, it'll be lucky if she doesn't create more mess from helping out."

Mother Zhou froze for a moment: "Well, wasn't she just young and naive before?"

"Isn't she always like this? Someone who won't upright the fallen soy sauce bottle. It's better to let Sister Er Ni go over. Even Sister San Ni is better than Liu Ni." Zhou Wu Ni responded.

"That's right. What about San Ni?" Mother Zhou asked Lin Qing He.

"Mother, we aren't short on staff on my side. Just let Er Ni go is enough." Lin Qing He smilingly replied.

In fact, Er Ni had at least three years of education. Lin Qing He had seen her homework. In the past, these little girls liked to come here to do homework.

Her writing was also good. Recording accounts and calculating the bills wasn't a problem at all.

What's more, Er Ni was also smart. This kind of smartness lies in her ability to talk. She got tolerance too. If she made a mistake, Lin Qing He dared to point it out as she would not feel wronged or depressed.

This was the difference between her and Zhou San Ni and Zhou Liu Ni sisters.

Don't know how Second Sister-in-law raised Zhou San Ni to have a doormat personality. She would not say anything and hold it in her heart.

Toward this, Lin Qing He only dared to say nice encouragement when she saw it. As for criticism, she didn't dare to say it.

Zhou Liu Ni, this one was too active.

Bringing some with a stomach full of pettiness and scheme? Afraid that she won't be able to find her to bring back to Second Sister-in-law in the future.

So Second Sister-in-law's two girls, she will not take either of them.

"That's a pity. San Ni is a diligent one. You can let her go to wash dishes or something." Mother Zhou continued.

Lin Qing He continued to make buns but did not answer.

As for Zhou Liu Ni, she complained to her mother when she got home.

"Mother, does Fourth Aunt look down on our family?" Zhou Liu Ni asked as soon as she got home.

"What are you talking about?" Second Sister-in-law disgruntledly responded.

"Mother, you don't know. When I went over there, I heard Fourth Aunt talk about letting Zhou Yang and Zhou Wu Ni go over next summer. When I heard that, I said I wanted to go too. But my fourth aunt would not agree!" Zhou Liu Ni explained.

"You got nothing to do? Why are you going to the capital for?" Second Sister-in-law responded, "Isn't there a traveling fee? I don't have the money to pay your fare."

"Mother, are you stupid?" After Zhou Liu Ni spoke, she was pinched by Second Sister-in-law.

"Just say one more word and see if I'll sort you out." Second Sister-in-law uttered.

So Zhou Liu Ni said, "Mother, Fourth Uncle's dumpling shop must have a good business. Did you see how much weight he gained this year? If I can go to his shop to help, I will find a partner in the capital in the future. Mother, do you want a son-in-law from the capital"

"You can really dream." Second Sister-in-law shot a glance at her daughter.

"Mother, I don't look bad. Hadn't Fourth Uncle recognize a godfather? When I get older, he can introduce someone?" Zhou Liu Ni pointed out.

"How can the people in the capital fancy you?" Second Sister-in-law sized up her daughter as she spoke.

"How can they not fancy me? I'll go to help at Fourth Uncle's shop. How can Fourth Uncle not pay me a salary? I can work as long as Fourth Uncle's shop is open. I can be regarded as an employee. Who can dislike me?  Besides, Fourth Aunt teaches at Bei University. Maybe there will be many people who want to marry me when it spread out." Zhou Liu Ni persisted.

Have to say, Second Sister-in-law was persuaded.

This daughter had always been clever. It was a good idea to get her Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt to help out and find a marriage in the capital.

She'll also gain a relative in the capital. That was very respect-garnering.

"Mother, what do you think?" Judging by her mother's reaction, Zhou Liu Ni pressed on.

"I'll find a time to talk to your fourth aunt." Second Sister-in-law said. Then she turned to her eldest daughter: "San Ni, hurry up and make the dough. The firewood outside hasn't been chopped yet. Remember to chop it later."

"En." Zhou San Ni lowered her head and acknowledged.

Originally, she didn't have such a dull temper. In the past two or three years, Zhou San Ni became more silent.

Second Sister-in-law shook her head when she saw her eldest daughter doing this. She felt that she was really not clever. While second daughter certainly got some idea.
