BTTS 310




 Chapter 310. Tolerance


"Her father, how about listening to Third Sister." It was Third Sister-in-law Lin, who bit her lips, said with determination in her eyes.

Others may cheat her family, but only Third Sister won't. She wished the best for her family.

If having a shop wasn't good, how could Third Sister make such efforts?

Moreover, the money was lent to buy a shop without a second word. This was really rare.

"You aren't as courageous as your wife." Lin Qing He glanced at her brother and said, "It's not like letting you go to open a shop right now. Buy a shop after the New Year is over. I won't leave until the tenth day. Before I leave, I will go to the city with your brother-in-law and buy you a shop."

It can't be helped. Her brother grew up in the countryside all his life. It wasn't easy for him to take that step. It was possible that he'll step back and retreat at any time. She had to help him.

"Okay." Third Brother Lin hesitated, only then made up his mind and nodded vigorously.

"With your nod today, you will be glad in the future." Lin Qing He comforted.

"Listen to your sister." Zhou Qing Bai stated.

Third Brother Lin nodded.

"Before buying, you two should also go back and think about it. Do you want to do it? Although I strongly recommend you to open one and you won't do badly in the future, but I won't force you to do it." Lin Qing He continued on.

It was her own younger brother, she wants to help him. But the choice really falls on him.

After all, she spoke to this point.

Third Brother Lin and Third Sister-in-law Lin went back. Naturally, they had a good discussion. After all, this was not a trivial matter.

In the afternoon when Third Brother Lin and Third Sister-in-law Lin left, Mother Zhou spoke with Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai: "In the future, Da Wa's uncle is going to open a shop in the city?"

"I don't know their decision." Lin Qing He replied.

"If they open a shop, the whole family will go to the city? What about the work in the field." Mother Zhou asked.

"After opening a shop, the family must go there to live. At that time, find a bigger place, preferably with a backyard and very spacious. As for the fieldwork at home, it’s simple. Transfer it to other people and can collect some money or some grain after harvest." Lin Qing He answered.

As long as her brother wants to go to the city, the rest wasn't a problem.

"Don't know if your brothers can open a shop in the city?" Mother Zhou asked Zhou Qing Bai.

Zhou Qing Bai glanced at his wife and replied, "Mother, you have to go to my brothers and ask them about this."

"That's right. You have to ask them about this kind of thing. I told my brother and my sister-in-law to go back and discuss it. For this to take off, it requires my brother's willingness to listen to me and do it. Mother, you want Qing Bai to go to brothers and sisters-in-law and tell them to stop farming and open a shop in the city?" Lin Qinghe said.

Mother Zhou unhappily muttered: "I saw you wanted Da Wa's uncle to go over so much and thought..."

"This isn't a problem. If brothers and sisters-in-law want to buy a shop in the city and open a shop, and if they are short of money, Qing Bai and I can lend some." Lin Qing He still left her some face and said.

"How can there be so much money to lend. Just let them figure out a solution by themselves." Mother Zhou shook her head.

Lin Qing He had no interest in continuing this topic with her and went back to the room to read a book.

Mother Zhou whispered to her son, "Is your wife mad?"

"She isn't." Zhou Qing Bai was clear about his wife. She won't be upset about this. Still, Zhou Qing Bai honestly said: "I asked my brothers yesterday. They all said they would farm the land and not open whatever shop. Mother, if you want to talk about it, just go tell them yourself."

Mother Zhou naturally hoped that the other three sons would do well, so she really went to ask.

However, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, and Third Brother had no intention in that aspect.

All of them were going for household production. They were all ready to start a big project in spring.

When Mother Zhou mother came back, she was told off by Father Zhou again.

Mother Zhou quietly spoke: "From Da Wa's mother and old Fourth's meaning, it is really good to open a shop. So I was thinking of letting them try?"

"Try what? Current work isn't good? Now that the harvest is abundant, as long as one works hard, will they fare badly?" Father Zhou disgruntledly uttered.

"I know..."

Mother Zhou was interrupted by Father Zhou before she finished speaking: “What do you know? There's nothing work with Fourth's wife helping her brother. Also, Xiao Mei will also need her help in the future. So you don’t worry about these shadowless things. If not, you will stay with me at home this summer and not go over there to make trouble.”

"I didn't want to make trouble. I just happened to think of this. The brothers don't want to do it. I can't possibly force them to do it?" Mother Zhou responded.

Actually, Mother Zhou had a bad relationship with her maternal siblings.

But this was how most people were.

The relationship between herself and her siblings wasn't great, but she wanted her children to have a good relationship and take care of each other.

"Don't think about those shadowless things. You already at this age. Only so much good life left. Leave them alone. They are all in charge of their own affairs. Who will listen to you." Father Zhou said.

Mother Zhou said: "Alright, you old man, I told you that I know and you still go on."

"Fourth's wife isn't angry, right?" Mother Zhou whispered again.

In fact, Mother Zhou is a little afraid of this youngest daughter-in-law. After all, Lin Qing He was never blindly filial. She can shove back on the spot if the words were displeasing. She won't care whether she was her mother-in-law or not.

"What is there to be angry about? Do you think Da Wa's mother only got that bit of tolerance?" Father Zhou rolled his eyes.

Compared with his wife, Father Zhou's mind was steady like a pendulum.

With such high education and can raise the children so well, would she be so petty with his wife? Usually, if she minded, she would react on the spot and won't let it brew overnight.

Naturally, Lin Qing He didn't hold a grudge. She was indeed reading her foreign language books and courses.

Zhou Qing Bai went out to visit some relatives and friends.

After more than an hour, Lin Qing He came out to cook. Mother Zhou said diligently: "You're tired from studying. Let's have buns tonight. Mother will do it."

"Alright. Mother, steam the buns then. I'll visit Zhou Dong's house." Lin Qing He was delighted in her heart and said on the surface.

"Then come back early. Don't sit for too long." Mother Zhou let out a sigh of relief and nodded.

Lin Qing He grabbed a bag of candies and came to Zhou Dong and Cai Ba Mei's house.

Zhou Dong and Cai Ba Mei had already given birth to two. The first was a boy and the second was a girl. Now Cai Ba Mei had a third in her belly.

Have to say, this speed was also extremely fast.

Not to mention Zhou Dong, even Zhou Xi, who was married last year, got a big belly. She was close to giving birth. In a blink of an eye, both brothers and sisters were going to be parents.

It made one feel quite emotional.
