 Chapter 341. Third Branch's development

Since Zhou Yang and Zhou Wu Ni's return, Second Sister-in-law was bottled up in depression.

Being asked by him, she couldn't help but explode in an outburst: "I told you before and you didn't believe me. Fourth Branch looked down on our Second Branch. Now you see it!"

"Why are you saying this again?" Second Brother frowned.

He disliked these words the most. How could he not be aware whether old Fourth look down on him? Wasn't all the brothers treated the same?

What's more, he left five hundred dollars in Eldest Brother's care. If he needs it, he can use it for an emergency. Does show any prejudice?

Moreover, he knew exactly what temper old Fourth had. Not to mention his own brothers, even if outsiders were poor, he would not look down upon others.

It just happened that his wife would speak words like these occasionally. Truly lead astray.

Second Sister-in-law didn’t know that her man found her annoying in his mind and kept talking, “ Why can’t I? Does our family have a share of that tape recorder? Eldest Branch and Third Branch who are on good terms with her does !”

Hearing this, Second Brother realized why she was so upset.

"You better not let me hear you say such words in the future or you can go back to your maternal family's house. My old Zhou family can't afford a wife like you." For the first time, Second Brother looked at his wife with such cold eyes.

Even when she caused a fuss in the past, Second Brother had never been so disappointed with his wife. This time he was really disappointed!

Why did Fourth Sister-in-law give the tape recorder? It was for Wu Ni and Yang Yang to listen to English. If his daughter and son were studying, wouldn't they be able to use it too? So how could there be biased?

But because his wife refused to let them study. Xia Xia went to study for a few years and the rest hadn't studied anything.

Why would they need to listen to English?

Just because of this, his own wife can make trouble like this. And even say something like looking down on Second Branch.

"Last time they came back, First Sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law received the milk powder and candies. Our family wasn't left out. Eldest-in-law and Third Sister-in-law had even visited them. While you didn’t even take a step. The other didn't hold it to heart. You actually think so beautifully and want to covet everything?" questioned Second Brother.

"That's a tape recorder!" Second Sister-in-law gritted her teeth.

"The ones using the tape recorder are my nephew and my niece!" Second Brother coldly pointed out: "I'm not joking with you. If you try to sow discord between our old Zhou brothers, you can go back to your old Chen Family. We can get a divorce!"

"You...you actually want to divorce me?" Second Sister-in-law was stunned: "We have so many children and you want to divorce me?"

"If you don't want to get divorced, behave. There are no big storms in the old Zhou family. Everything heading in the right direction. Don't stir trouble out of nowhere!" Second Brother stated.

Second Sister-in-law cried. She turned around and burst into tears.

Second Brother was also upset and frustrated. He had enough of this woman, so he put on his clothes and went to swim in the river.

Third Brother just came back from swimming outside and encountered him, "Second Brother, you're still going to swim at this time."

"En. Going to cool off." Second Brother finished speaking and left.

Third Brother went back. He talked about it with Third Sister-in-law: "Judging by Second Brother's appearance, he most likely had quarreled with Second Sister-in-law.

"So be it. That person is bored and wants to stir some chaos." Third Sister-in-law remarked with curled lips.

"We're all one family. Don't mind about that much." Third Brother urged.

"If I did mind, then this house would be noisy all day long." Third Sister-in-law harrumphed.

Third Brother didn’t give any response. He also felt that this second sister-in-law was overboard. She always liked to be petty about the littlest things. He knew that it must be because she had no share of Fourth Sister-in-law's tape recorder. But that was for listening to English. Yang Yang and Wu Ni’s weakness was English. So shouldn’t they listen more?

What was there to mind?

"Wife, I plan to borrow some money from my parents." After being silent for a while, Third Brother broke out in a low voice

"You want to go work in the city?" Hearing this, Third Sister-in-law coped on quickly.

"En." Third Brother answered.

With how Second Sister-in-law was, there will definitely be problems at home further along the line. His wife wasn't one to tolerate.

Moreover, Third Brother originally had that idea in his mind.

It was just he hadn't dared to say it.

"Our family owns two hundred. There was five hundred yuans left by Qing Bai. I can get three hundred from Eldest Brother's side. I'm afraid I will have to ask three hundred from my parents." Third Brother said.

"Are the shops in the city so expensive?" uttered Third Sister-in-law.

"It's not cheap." Third Brother shook his head.

"It's okay if it's not cheap. You can always give it a go." Third Sister-in-law didn't want to live here anymore. Otherwise, the surface appearance would be torn apart and she would have a fight with that person in Second Branch soon or later. It'll be ugly.

After the couple had this thought, they naturally started to act.

When Third Brother Lin came to Zhou Dong to collect the eggs, he asked him about the shop in the city.

"I used 680 then. The other party was in a rush, so I got a bargain. However, other shops aren't that cheap. If you want it, I can ask around for you." Third Brother Lin said.

"Then I will trouble you."Third  Brother nodded.

Third Brother Lin had helped inquire around. On another street about 20 minutes' walk from his shop, a shop owner said he wanted to sell it.

The price was seven hundred yuan. It was only a shop, the kind that couldn't live in. It was much smaller than Third Brother Lin's.

Still, the price was arbitrarily 700 yuan. Not a penny less.

This shop got a pretty good front. Still, Third Brother Lin looked at other shops. After looking around, he felt that the first shop was the best and most cost-effective.

He also called Third Brother to come over and check: "I think this shop is very good. The place is a bit small and can’t be used as a living place. Still, this is the cheapest. There is a place with living area, which costs 800 to 900. Not a good deal."

Third Brother rode a bicycle and came over to take a look.

The shop was indeed not big. However, the location was really good. It was on the main street and leads in all directions. If he were to do business, it won't do badly.

"This shop is really good." Third Brother remarked.

"What about accommodation?" Third Brother Lin turned to him and asked.

"I can live at my youngest brother-in-law's." Third Brother.

Third Brother Lin nodded. He knew that Su Da Lin's family had moved to the capital. However, it wasn't his place to speak. Seeing that Third Brother knew what he was doing, he didn't say anything.

When Lin Qing He learned that Third Brother ran to the city to buy a shop, it was already October National Day.

It was due to Third Brother getting Wu Ni to write a letter to tell them.

It was eloquently conveyed through several pages of letter. It was Third Brother Lin who helped him find it. He also taught Third Brother some tips on doing business.

A this moment, Third Brother had settled everything.

As for Third Sister-in-law, she hadn't been in the city yet. Once this year's autumn harvest is over, the family will probably move there.

Judging from the letter, Third Brother was obviously giving the business a try.
