Chapter 335. Brothers
To put it conscientiously, there were not many people who were willing to nurture girls like Third Sister-in-law in this age.
Like Eldest Sister-in-law was also rare. She had been influenced by her in the past and was willing to send her few girls up to the third grade and recognized a lot of words.
Second Sister's Hu Zi also reached this degree of education.
As for Eldest Sister's Xu Sheng Mei, she didn't even study in the first grade. This was common in this era.
Third Sister-in-law grinningly responded: "I don't need her to be grateful for a lifetime. It's good enough that she can help when something happens in her maternal family.
But no matter what the aim was, it was a great opportunity for Zhou Wu Ni to go to school or even attend university.
After chatting for a long time, she was supposed to go over to eat. But because they had eaten at Zhou Xiao Mei's place, it was dropped.
Eldest Sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law bashly took the candies and milk powder back.
Each family got a bag of candies and a bag of milk powder. Second Brother's family also had a share.
Third Sister-in-law no longer talked to Second Sister-in-law, so she didn’t bother to bring it to her. Eldest Sister-in-law gave it to Second Brother.
"Da Wa's mother gave it to me, saying it is for nourishment. Don't save it and drink it. Each family got one bag of candies and one bag of milk powder." Eldest Sister-in-law explained.
"I can't really accept it." Second Brother said embarrassedly.
Last time his second girl acted insensibly. She caused trouble and had Da Wa send her back in person.
"It's nothing. We're all a family. Qing He didn't care about those." Eldest Sister-in-law assured with a smile and passed the candies and milk powder to Second Brother.
Second Brother accepted it.
Around eight o'clock in the evening, Zhou Qing Bai came to hang out with three brothers. The brothers went directly to the river to take a bath and swim.
"Da Lin is going to open a bun shop over there. Is it worth it? His salary is 60 yuan. That's a lot." Eldest Brother his slight worry.
"His factory is about to close down, otherwise he won't leave like this." Third Brother continued the topic.
They were all a family, so Mother Zhou didn't hide some things from them.
Second Brother said: "If he goes over and does a good job, he shouldn't do badly."
Regardless of what the women think, the four brothers got along quite well.
"Once it develops, he won't do badly." Zhou Qing Bai said. Then he looked at his three elder brothers seriously: "Are you not planning to develop into the city?"
"I only know how to farm in this lifetime. I can't possibly go to the city to develop." Eldest Brother shook his head.
"Da Lin is moving to the capital. His house will be vacant. If you opened a shop in the city, you would have a place to live in." Zhou Qing Bai said.
Since he was going to the capital to develop, generally there was no time to come back in within the first few years. It was still important to focus on that side and completely stabilize the life there.
So they can go to live there temporarily.
"I don't plan to go to the city either. I just wanted to raise more chickens, but your second sister-in-law doesn't approve." Second Brother sighed lightly.
"My wife said raising chickens is good. She suggested it to Zhou Dong." Zhou Qing Bai mentioned.
"I know. Fourth's wife had told us and I want to do it. Chickens and ducks can do. Your second sister-in-law said she's worried about getting slapped on the wrist in the future and will raise them all for nothing." Second Brother felt helpless.
"That part of the past won't happen again." Zhou Qing Bai responded.
Second Brother believed it, but his wife was dead set on not letting him. What can he do? He can only continue to work in the field.
"Fourth old brother, how is your brother-in-law doing in the city?" Third Brother had some inkling and asked.
"Very well." Zhou Qing Bai nodded when he saw that one of his brothers had such intention.
"Then buying a shop in the city, will it cost a lot of money?" Third Brother continued to ask.
"At that time, bought it for six hundred and eighty. But that's because the sellers were a little rushed to sell and benefited from this coincidence. Normally, it costs 800 yuan for everything. In the future, I'm afraid it will rise." Zhou Qing Bai informed.
"Good lord, so expensive?" Third Brother uttered in surprise.
Zhou Qing Bai knew that it wasn't easy for his brothers, and said: "I can free up 500 yuan from my side and leave it with Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law this year. Whatever you want to do and are short of money, you can use it first. You can return it to me later."
"No need to do this?" Hearing this, Eldest Brother responded at once: "You're bringing our parents to the capital city. Also, Da Lin and Xiao Mei are moving there. You have to help out. You don't need to worry about our side. Just minding that side is enough."
"That's right. You can just take care of the capital's side." Second Brother.
"You have gotten bold. You dare to decide on this matter without getting sister-in-law's approval first." Third Brother laughed.
"My wife won't mind this." Zhou Qing Bai said some degree of pride: "As long as the money is spent like it's on the blade edge, she won't say anything. But I'm serious. I will get the money later and leave it with Eldest Brother,. You three can figure it out by yourself."
After finishing talking, he turned to Third Brother: "Old Third, if you are going to buy a shop in the city, you have to get it earlier. It will become more and more expensive in the future. If you need help, go find my third brother-in-law."
This third brother-in-law was referring to Third Brother Lin.
The brothers finished talking and were mostly done washing up, so they put on clothes and went home.
Lin Qing He hadn't slept yet. She was still reading.
Zhou Qing Bai came in to find his wife and told her what he had promised his three brothers.
Lin Qing He raised her eyebrows to look at him, and uttered, "Gain some courage?"
"Ahem, wife, I will compensate you well tonight." Zhou Qing Bai coughed dryly and replied.
Lin Qing He amusedly rolled her eyes and gave him five hundred yuan without saying any objection and said, "Is this enough?"
"Enough. If not enough for them, let them figure out a way by themselves." Zhou Qing Bai responded.
Although he really didn't mind promoting his brothers, it wouldn't do to go overboard.
He took the five hundred yuans and left it in Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law's care. Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law felt a surge of emotion.
As the eldest in old Zhou Family, their contribution wasn't as much as fourth branch.
Still, they were delighted. Old Zhou family was becoming successful. This was a joyous matter for old Zhou Family.
Zhou Qing Bai handed the money to Eldest Brother and went back.
Lin Qing He was still reading. Zhou Qing Bai had said he'll compensate her, so naturally he had to make good on his words.
"Not a bit of gentlemanly." Lin Qing He feigned as she hammered him lightly. In truth she enjoyed this.
It was natural for the couple to do their homework and hand in their homework.
The next day, they got up before four o'clock. After washing and eating, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai set off with Father Zhou and Mother Zhou.
Eldest Brother and the others naturally came out to see them off. They walked them to the village entrance before being urged to go back.
Currently, there was so much work in the field, so there was no need to waste time sending them to the city.
As for the keys to the house, they were also handed over to Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law for safekeeping. There was nothing valuable at home. Just some pots and pans left. The rest were taken away.

Unfortunately, that little brat in the Second branch will probably steal that money. Second's wife and daughter have a couple of screws loose.
ReplyDeleteIf she really did that, Third Sister-in-law would most probably be the first one who went ballistic. πΆππππ
DeleteOhhh Hope they do well
ReplyDeletePoor second brother got a wife like that
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chap! π
ReplyDeleteMother Zhou had some bad taste in daughters-in-law first the original QH and then second sister in law lol
ReplyDeletewhat I'm saying lol.
DeleteOG LQH worked Zhou Qing Bai to the bone and Second Sister in Law is holding her husband back from being prosperous.
But Eldest and Third sister-in-law are alright. So it's about 50-50. Is she bad or just half lucky? Or maybe just about average, lmao.
DeleteThank you for the chapter <3
ReplyDeleteAren’t pots super valuable? Second Sister got beat up for one with two holes in it
