Chapter 306. Grown crooked
At that time, she and her Qing Bai will be traveling.
Let the boys sleep in Er Wa's room and the girls can go to sleep in their rooms. Specifically, it depends on the children's arrangements.
When Eldest Sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law heard her say this, they knew that she really didn't mind that the child going over and causing some inconvenience.
With a smiling expression, she said, "Then let them go over and gain knowledge."
Zhou Liu winked at her mother hard.
Then Second Sister-in-law spoke: "Her fourth aunt, is there a shortage of people in Fourth Brother's dumpling shop?"
"No shortage. Next year I plan to let Er Ni come to help." Lin Qing He said outright. She smiled at Eldest Sister-in-law: "Last time Yang Yang and Wu Ni went to do homework, I brought it up to Mother about this. Only then, I knew Eldest Sister-in-law is looking for a match for Er Ni."
"Fourth Aunt, I'm still young. I don't want to marry so early." Zhou Er Ni hurriedly interjected.
Her brother did come back and mention it. Zhou Er Ni expressed to her mother that she wanted to go to the capital to help her fourth uncle and fourth aunt without thinking.
She can't do anything else, but she will definitely work hard when she goes there.
What's more, she was familiar with her fourth uncle and fourth aunt. As long as she works hard, they will never treat her badly. Zhou Er Ni was really very resistant to marrying so early.
However, her mother said that she wasn't young. After all, her eldest sister had married at the age of eighteen and now her child was two years old.
Zhou Er Ni was at a loss.
But before that, she could only let her mother arranged it.
But after her brother came back and talked about it. She immediately came back to life. She didn't want to marry, she wanted to go to the to help her fourth uncle and fourth aunt.
In the future, every single penny of the salary will be sent back home!
Eldest Sister-in-law also felt that it would be better to let second daughter go to the capital. What's more, it was due to her fourth uncle and her fourth aunt's care, if not, such a thing would not happen.
So Eldest Sister-in-law had no objection.
When she comes back from working in the capital, she can marry someone better, right?
"Qing He, I have no problem with Er Ni's matter. You know this girl. She's always this neat and nimble. When she's over there, you can scold her if she is disobedient. Don't hold back with her." Eldest Sister-in-law said.
"I definitely won't scold. I have been eyeing for such a daughter." Lin Qing He grinned: "But since you have no objection, I will take Er Ni over next year, Eldest Sister-in-law. I will cover food and accommodation. As for the pay, I won’t talk about it. I will give it to Er Ni every month."
"Also give salary? Letting her go gather experience is good enough," Eldest Sister-in-law quickly responded.
"There's no such logic." Lin Qing He smiled.
"Her fourth aunt, you only bring Er Ni over? Liu Ni can also go over and help," said Second Sister-in-law.
"Second sister-in-law, it’s not just me saying it. What kind of personality does Liu Ni have? Just ask her other brothers and sisters in the yard and you'll know. What kind of work did she do at home? She won't pick up a fallen broom. Everything is pushed to San Ni. You let her come to help? Isn't this a joke?" Third Sister-in-law laughed. She didn't hold back at all.
Can't be helped. Some people insisted on pretending to sleep. She didn't mind reminding them.

Second Sister-in-law halted.
"Er Ni might not be good at other things, but she is nimble at chores. If my maternal family weren't poor, I would shamelessly bring it up to Eldest Sister-in-law when I heard Eldest Sister-in-law wanted to find someone for Er Ni. But now, this is perfect. Er Ni, when you're at your fourth uncle and fourth aunt's place, you have to work hard. In the future, see if there is any suitable person at that side and find a match." Third Sister-in-law merrily stated.

Third Sister-in-law merrily stated.
"How can she find someone over there? People in the capital couldn't possibly want us country folk?" Eldest Sister-in-law smilingly shook her head.
"Why not? I think Er Ni is very good. The water and soil in the capital can nourish people. When she go there, she will definitely be a lot fairer. When the times come, I will pick two good-looking clothes for you and you will be a pretty girl. Who won't like her when seeing her?" Lin Qing He smiled.
"The family backgrounds aren't compatible." Eldest Sister-in-law shook her head.
She was very self-aware. With their family's conditions, how can she be able to get a son-in-law from the capital's side?
"If it's about compatibility, how can our family not match? Her fourth uncle got the capital's household registration. Her fourth aunt teaches foreign languages at Bei University. Her younger brother will go to the military academy next year and will join the army. If this background is not appropriate, then what is appropriate?" Lin Qing He said.
Eldest Sister-in-law maintained her smile and shook her head.
Lin Qing He looked at Zhou Er Ni: "Don't worry about your mother. Your mother's thoughts are very old-fashioned. We are women of the new era, we have to look forward."
Zhou Er Ni pursed her lips and smiled: "
"En. Take your time. There's no rush." Lin Qing He nodded.
At the side, Zhou Liu Ni winked at her mother so much they were getting cramped. Seeing that her mother won't speak out, Zhou Liu Ni took it upon herself.
"Fourth Auntie, won't you help me out." Zhou Liu Ni aggrievedly stated.
She couldn't grasp it no matter how hard she fought. Zhou Er Ni was about to marry and she was wanted!
"How old are you? It's more important to help your mother with some housework." Lin Qing He said.
"I will do it. It's just my sister is too hardworking, so it was never my turn. Fourth Aunt, if I go to the capital, I will definitely not do worse than Sister Er Ni." Zhou Liu Ni explained.
"But we definitely don't need any more people." Lin Qing He looked at her.
Zhou Liu Ni pursed her lips and said, "Fourth Aunt, you don't like me?"
What's so pleasing about you?
Lin Qing He laughed it off: "What are you saying? Every family gets one roast duck. All of you are my nieces, how could I not like you? It's just you are still young. So, properly help your mother at home. Your parents took on a lot of lands this year."
"Second Sister-in-law, you should lecture Liu Ni." Third Sister-in-law spoke.
Second Sister-in-law glared at her second daughter and said: "What more do you have to say? The shop isn't lacking in people. It will not be too late to find you if there's vacancy in the future."
"There will be no shortage of people in the future. Liu Ni can stand under your care, Second Sister-in-law." Lin Qing He immediately stated.
She won't let Saturday Ni pass, don't even think about it.
"Fourth Aunt, I understand. You look down on our second branch." Zhou Liu Ni's eyes reddened and ran out after saying this.
"Second Sister-in-law, if you don't teach her well, I am afraid that she will discredit you in the future." Lin Qing He solemnly watched Zhou Ni's back and simply told Second Sister-in-law.
"This damn girl!" Second Sister-in-law let out a scold. She got up, and said, "I'll go back and teach her first."
Then she went back first.
Lin Qing He didn't even bat her eyelids.
"Don't worry about her." Third Sister-in-law spoke.
"This Liu Ni girl had grown crooked. Even if Er Ni doesn't go, I would stop her if she is allowed to go." Eldest Sister-in-law told the truth.

Thank you for the chapter!!!
ReplyDeleteHahahahahah.. serves you right... you little snake...
I hope she could at least repent.. even just a little..
Nice one there for LQH...
Hahahahah...
Hahahhaa eldest sist in law is good !!! Thank you for the chapter <3
ReplyDeleteDon’t necessarily look down on the second branch, just you! (Though lbr your mom isn’t winning any awards either)
ReplyDeleteShe definitely doesn't look down on them. After all, she did help their son with the carpentry apprentice thing.
DeleteAt this second line, just the wife and this child make me so annoyed
ReplyDeleteThere you go, such shameless little girl need to learn a lesson. Hopefully is not too late for her
ReplyDeleteI think Second Sister-in-Law is no longer making things difficult for Lin Qing He, and she still has enough shame that even she halted promoting her daughter when it's clear that Lin Qing He and Eldest Sister-in-Law already has an arrangement. Liu Ni, though... that girl can't even see her own weaknesses when compared to her sister and cousins, and probably still sees herself as the best girl in all the world, or something.
ReplyDeleteWith this lack of self-awareness, it's rather inevitable for her to screw up sooner or later. I just hope that her parents and siblings don't get dragged down with her.
Aiii if im LQH i would simply say "yes i dont like you so give up your colorful imaginations that ill ever think of bringing you in the capital" 🤣🤣🤣 why bother responding so nicely. It's like playing music to a cow.
ReplyDeleteEven if there is space it won't be your turn
ReplyDeleteIsn't Liu Ni supposed to be smart? How come she doesn't get that people don't like HER?
ReplyDeleteI think the proper word for her is "cunning", not smart. LQH said that Liu Ni was too smart; being smart was good; but, being too smart for a girl was something bad.
DeleteFor a woman who has grown up in modern society with female emancipation and being a self-made/self-motivated smart woman herself, saying something like that isn't in line with her character. So, I "retranslated" the word ("smart") in every description of Liu Ni to be "cunning".
In fact, that girl is smart and knows how to get ahead even if her family conditions aren't that good. But the problem is her personality, if she just fixed it become hard working and a little more kind then perhaps she could have a bright future.
