Chapter 322. Merciless
Lin Qing He didn't care what Hu Zi and Xu Sheng Mei thought of her. She had always been like this.
But when she talked to Zhou Qing Bai at night, her tone was soft.
"I let Liu Ni go back like this. Do you blame me?" Lin Qing He asked.
"I don't." Zhou Qing Bai shook his head.
Actually, he was displeased with what his niece did.
Of course, he wasn't mad that she came to seek refuge but that she acted so insensible. It was fine that nothing happened. If something did, what to do?
"If they are sensible, as uncle and aunt, we would be willing to pull them up. Er Ni didn't say anything and I wanted her to come over. But with how Liu Ni is, who would dare host her?" Lin Qing He grumbled.
She had never seen anything like this before. Dare to play this fait accompli trick. Was she thinking that she won't drive her away?
Not possible. She won't hesitate.
This time she won't be merciful either. Otherwise, there will be recurrences. It was fine to say that she is unfeeling or that she advanced and no longer recognize people. She will not open up this path.
"Don't be angry. It's fine to send her back." Zhou Qing Bai soothed.
His wife had always been in charge of family affairs. He will not interfere. If his second brother has something to say, he will take care of it.
Onto Zhou Kai and Zhou Liu Ni. They returned to the countryside in a few days.
Zhou Kai followed his mother's order. He brought Zhou Liu Ni to old Zhou's house and handed her over to Second Brother.
"Second Uncle, I brought Liu Ni back to you. In the future, you need to watch her properly. Don't let her run around again." Zhou Kai said.
Second Brother was stunned: "What's the situation? Didn't Liu Ni go over and stay in her grandma's house?"
Then he looked directly at Second Sister-in-law.
Second Sister-in-law pursed her lips and scolded Zhou Liu Ni: "You damn girl, where did you go? Did you go to the capital by yourself to find your fourth uncle and fourth aunt?"
Eldest Brother, Eldest Sister-in-law, Third Brother, and Third Sister-in-law came out, so naturally they all heard this.
Then all looked at Zhou Liu Ni.
Eldest Sister-in-law was the first to ask with a sunken face: "Da Wa, Liu Ni really gone to the capital by herself?"
"She did. My father told me to send her back to Second Uncle and Second Aunt." Zhou Kai replied.
He simply said his dad said it, not his mom.
Eldest Sister-in-law's complexion couldn't get any darker.
"Second Sister-in-law. It's not that I want to criticize you. You really have to give Liu Ni a good lesson. This is simply too daring. What kind of place is the capital? She actually dare to go?" Third Sister-in-law turned to Second Sister-in-law.
Second Sister-in-law never thought the fourth branch won't give face second branch to like this. At this time, her face turned livid. She grabbed the bamboo sticks and started beating Zhou Liu Ni: "You dead girl, see if I won't kill you. Always thinking about climbing high all day long. Would others let you climb high? You went all the way to the capital and still got driven back. Are you happy? Since they don’t like you, you still persist in rushing over. See if I won't kill you!"
These remarks. Rather than beating and scolding Liu Ni, it was more like saying the fourth branch was unfeeling. They can't even tolerate their own niece.
"Second Aunt, if you have something to say, say it directly. Don't be insinuating. We didn't tell Liu Ni to come over. Also, the fare isn't cheap. Didn't you give Liu Ni the fare?" Zhou Kai had a reciprocal temperament. Since his second aunt had spoken like this, he naturally didn't mind asking.
Really, she can spout anything!
Second Sister-in-law's expression paused.
"This time, Liu Ni went on such a long journey over, she had troubled so many people. I had to request leave from the school. How many classes were delayed!" Zhou Kai continued.
"Da Wa, what's happened?" After he finished saying this, Father Zhou and Mother Zhou entered the room.
Before Zhou Kai could return to his home, he came directly to old Zhou's house. Both Father Zhou and Mother Zhou live at his home now.
At this time, they heard the news and came over straight away.
"Grandfather, Grandmother." Zhou Kai greeted and then explained, "It's nothing. Just Liu Ni being insensible and went to the capital by herself. I sent her back. Second Uncle, I have sent her back to you now. From now on, where she goes, don’t come to us."
The last sentence was for Second Brother.
Second Brother was steaming with anger and declared: "If she doesn't stay at home properly in the future, I will break her leg!"
"Liu Ni went to the capital?" Father Zhou reached the conclusion. He looked at Zhou Liu Ni with a black face.
Zhou Liu Ni hid in the corner and said: "I just want to go and have a look. Who knew once I'm there, my fourth aunt didn't let me spend a night and simply got Brother Da Wa to bring me back! "
"Simply a joke. You didn't even ask and went over. How can your fourth aunt not know what you are planning? The whole village knows about your fourth aunt's temper. If you want to act first and report later, you have to see what personality she has. Would she let you succeed?" Third Sister-in-law directly mocked.
"Alright. Speak less." Third Brother chided her.
"What speak less? Old Zhou Family finally had a branch that is succeeding. The whole family is looking forward to it, but there are some people who have no self-awareness. What virtue does Liu Ni have? Who at home isn't clear? But some people think their daughter is someone everyone loves at sight and that everyone has to go her way. Remember who gave an on Xia Xia's matter. It’s enough if they don’t want them to be well. But no, it's like fourth branch owes her and deserves to follow her wishes."
Third Sister-in-law sneered directly. This time, she didn't endure it anymore. She pointed at Second Sister-in-law.
It can't e helped. They lived under the same roof. Third Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law had long been hold grudge against each other. It was at the thought that they'll be under the same roof, they let it drop.
But since someone pretended to be confused when they know very well, she didn't mind letting her know that no one was a fool!
"I told you to not speak!" Third Brother stated.
Third Sister-in-law rolled her eyes, "You think I want to!"
After finishing, she turned to Zhou Kai: "How much classwork did you miss out on at that side? Don’t know if you can keep up when you go back. I heard Wu Ni said before that when she didn’t pay attention to only one lesson in class her knowledge falls behind."
"It's still alright," Zhou Kai said.
Father Zhou remained silent with a sunken face.
Mother Zhou who was next to him almost understood what was going on. She looked at Second Sister-in-law with a cold face: "Second’s wife, I initially thought it was a good idea for Liu Ni to go over. But I can see it now. The girl you taught, really can't do anything good. You can rest your thoughts!"
If it were any other matters, Mother Zhou might let it pass and forget it.
But as long as it touched the interests of her three grandchildren, she will not show mercy to whoever comes.

DeleteGo, third-sister-in-law, go girl!

ReplyDelete"Alternative Chinese meaning"...
ReplyDeleteEeeehm, I'm pretty sure it's used like that in English and Russian too... and I'm pretty sure original French proverb (or how it's called) where it came from is exactly this too.
maybe "similar Chinese phrase" would be more suitable? the meanings are similar, i agree. the phrasing used in the notes is a bit misleading
DeleteHahaha, feels great
ReplyDeleteYeah, there is an English expression that's the equivalent of trying to get a fait accompli beforehand to put yourself in a better negotiating position; "it's better to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission".
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what Zhou Liu Ni did, and that's exactly what Lin Qing He is trying to nip in the bud by not even giving an inch on this matter.
Oh how I love reading this. Scold her some more!
