Chapter 398. Wang Yuan

Only due to the possibility of them being able to help in the future, Zhao Jun came here again.

Seeing him come over, Xu Sheng Mei's face expressed delight and gratefulness. Zhao Jun felt he had a stage to step down and he stayed with Father Zhou and Mother Zhou for a while before the couple went back.

"What did he think he is? As if we want him to come!" Mother Zhou couldn't help mutter.

Father Zhou, who had never been involved in these things, frowned a little. He was also not satisfied with this grandson-in-law, Zhao Jun.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that his granddaughter was totally fawning him. As her grandpa, would he feel comfortable with this?

But what can he do now? She already married over now. Each person had their own fate.

Lin Qing He knew about Zhao Jun and Xu Sheng Mei's visit. She heard it from Zhou Xuan.

"If they are going to borrow money in the future, no need to think. Just answer, understood?" Lin Qing He said to Zhou Qing Bai.

"Zhao Family is rich." Zhou Qing Bai shook his head.

Zhao Family was indeed rich. Father Zhao was the factory manager. It was said that his monthly salary was more than 100 yuan. Mother Zhao was also a director there. Her monthly salary was also very high. Everyone else had their own jobs. It can be said that the conditions of Zhao Family were indeed very good.

Xu Sheng Mei truly married into a higher position.

However, Lin Qing He thought otherwise: "Zhao Family's conditions are good but it doesn't mean that Zhao Jun's conditions are good. Anyway, if he wants to borrow money, don't lend a cent."

She felt that her family's attitude was obvious enough. And they still came over for a visit. Wasn't this signaling need for help?

"En." Zhou Qing Bai responded to her.

The two annoying things were passed and everything else was fine.

On this day, Lin Qing He told Zhou Er Ni to go to Wang Yuan's Garment Factory and order clothes with him.

Seeing that National Day was over and the weather was about to get colder, it went without saying to start ordering autumn clothes and cotton clothes at this time.

However, Zhou Er Ni, who has always been a nimble worker, hesitated, "Fourth Aunt, how about getting Uncle Cheng Min to go?"

"What's the matter?" Lin Qing He was preparing for the lesson and responded without looking up. She didn't notice her niece acting odd.

"I'm not feeling well. I'm afraid I won't be able to go tomorrow," Zhou Er Ni replied vaguely.

Lin Qing He nodded and said, "Alright. Take a break. If you feel uncomfortable tomorrow, let Cheng Min go."

Zho Er Ni breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded and went to busy herself.

It was Ma Cheng Min, who went to order the clothes the next day.

"Why did you come? I thought Zhou Hong Ying was coming." Wang Yuan, the owner of the garment factory, said when he came out and saw that it was Ma Cheng Min.

Zhou Hong Ying was Zhou Er Ni's proper name.

"She's not feeling well, so I came over." Ma Cheng Min didn't think too much and passed the order to Wang Yuan.

There were few thousands of pieces of autumn clothes. There cotton-padded clothes behind, was quite a lot too.

Wang Yuan took it and mentioned casually, "I heard that Zhou Hong Ying's cousin married. And it's into the capital?"

"En." Ma Cheng Min nodded. It wasn't a secret. The whole neighborhood knew. He knew the inside story. However, other people didn't know that Xu Sheng Mei was pregnant before she was married. It wasn't a glorious matter, so it was concealed.

"It's not bad. Marry into the capital, where it's prosperous. Here will get better and better in the future." Wang Yuan remarked.

Ma Cheng Min had been very busy recently. Now the season was about to change, there were many things waiting for him to handle. So he nodded and said: "The policies are getting better and better. The capital is definitely getting better and better. Marrying into the capital is naturally a good choice."

Then he urged Wang Yuan: "Boss Wang, sign the contract first. I have to go to the beverage shop to do a stock take."

Wang Yuan nodded and signed the contract with him.

Ma Cheng Min went back without staying much.

Wang Yuan twirled his pen and said to himself: "Why do I feel that girl is hiding from me?"

Just when his manager came in, he heard this and understood almost immediately. He spoke, "Are you talking about Zhou Hong Ying? Forget it, you are so much older than her. You actually dare!"

His manager was his childhood friend, who grew up with him since he was young. He unceremoniously picked at his age.

Wang Yuan retorted, "How am I so much older? Only six years gap!"

His childhood friend laughed and asked: "How did you speak to her last time? I think you scared her. This time, she is hiding from you."

Then in a serious tone: "She's a good girl. If you don't want to marry her, then I don't think you should play with her feelings."

Wang Yuan became irritated: "How am I playing with her feelings? What do you think of me?"

He continued, "Teacher Lin and her husband got a god-relationship with Uncle Wang."

The words that came out suddenly made his childhood friend froze, "Got a god-relationship with Uncle Wang?"
It dawned on him: "I was saying, why do you want to date Zhou Hong Ying? With their relationship with Uncle Wang, your family won't be too opposed to this even when she's just Teacher Lin's niece."

His childhood friend (Wang Yuan)'s family was truly a wealthy household.

"Zhou Hong Ying doesn't seem to be interested in me." Wang Yuan frowned.

He certainly fancied Zhou Hong Ying. He would take her around every time she came over. Maybe it was a bit obvious last time, so he frightened her.

This time, she straightforwardly not come over.

"I think she doesn't want to climb up through you." He nodded and told the truth.

The girl would certainly check out the equipment and facilities of the garment factory. But to she had any other ideas, she really didn't.

"Her cousin did, right? Does she want to marry worse than her cousin?" Wang Yuan said.

His childhood friend just smiled and did not say anything. He took the order and uttered, "This order isn't small."

"Hurry up and produce them as soon as possible. It's very urgent for that side." Wang Yuan waved his hand.

His childhood friend nodded. Then he took the clothes design and requirements as well as the order quantity out with him.

As for Wang Yuan, he pinched between his eyebrows in fatigue. Recently, there had been a lot going on at home. Especially with his grandmother. She was urging him to get married soon. She wanted to hug her great-grandson.

From the looks of things, Zhou Hong Ying didn't seem interested in him in that way?

He cleaned up his things and went to buy a net bag of apples and a few packets of coconut candy. These were imported from Hai Nan. Truly delicious.

So he came to visit.

He came here using old Wang as his excuse.

Lin Qing He originally found it strange that this business partner would drop by. When she heard that his grandfather and old Wang were good friends, it was a surprise.

"I just learned about it recently. I didn't know it before." Wang Yuan said with a smile. When he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Zhou Er Ni: "I heard that Hong Ying isn't feeling well?"

"Much better now," Zhou Er Ni uttered. Anyway, she didn't need to order anymore, so she did't need to go to his garment factory for the time being.

"That's great. My side needs someone to do the inventory. I lack an accountant. Weren't you studying this? Come over and help me. I'll pay you two dollars a day. What's more, it's only for these few days." Wang Yuan smilingly pitched.

Chapter 397. Visiting relatives

This photo will become a very precious photo of the later generations of Zhou Family.

It recorded the feelings of their grandparents when they were young, especially the way their grandfather looked at their grandmother. It was almost enough to squeeze out three kilos of honey.

Let's talk about the current moment.

After getting the camera, his hobby had shifted from football and basketball to this.

As long as it was a day off and didn't need to work, he would take his camera with him and then wander around to take pictures.

The brat spent a lot of money on the film.

Still, Lin Qing He left him be. As long as he didn't develop a prodigal temper, she would leave the rest of his hobbies up to him.

"After 20 years, these photos of mine will definitely the most precious." Zhou Gui Lai said triumphantly. He just went to develop the photos and came back.

"Hurry up, go to your Er Ni's shop and help!" Lin Qing He took the cloth pocket where he put the photo and dismissed.

"I'll finish the chicken soup first." Zhou Gui Lai went to scoop the chicken soup to drink.

While drinking chicken soup, his parents looked at the photos together.

"Why take pictures of everything." Zhou Qing Bai glanced at his son and said.

He took photos of those old houses, old people, and children. Also, those dilapidated stoves. Among them was a picture of a middle-aged woman burning a coal stove at the door and looking over with grinning white teeth.

Basically, they were strangers.

"I took it with their permission." Zhou Gui Lai said.

Lin Qing He saw it and found it very good. They were all representative of this age. She pointed out recommended places: "You can go to your god-grandfather's courtyard for a stroll. Both Bei University and Hua University too."

Although it wasn't cheap to buy film, these photos were like passing the village and there will be no stop. Take more photos and then make a few old photo albums to keep. It wasn't a bad idea to occasionally flip through them.

"Hee, Mom, you really know me. Grandpa and I have made an appointment. This National Day holiday, we will go." Zhou Gui Lai grinned.

National Day was the day after tomorrow. Lin Qing He also gets holiday, even when it only lasts for three days.

Lin Qing He ordered: "Then free up one day for me, your grandmother and your aunt."

"Alright. What are you going to do?" Zhou Gui Lai said. He was responsible for carrying things. He was used to it.

"I plan to find your grandmother and your aunt to climb the Great Wall. At that time, you will carry water and take pictures of us." Lin Qinghe responded.

Zhou Gui Lai expressed that he was already with it.

Zhou Qing Bai glanced at his wife. Lin Qing He smiled and patted his face that became more attractive as he grew older: "You're not free, so you can't go."

Her Qing Bai's dumpling shop was basically open for the whole year except for a few days during the New Year.

For the time being, it'll be like this. When the road network gets better, they can go everywhere. Then she will take one or two vacations a year. Her Qing Bai will also take two vacations. When she comes back to work, he will reopen the door to find something to do to pass the time.

Their future plan was that capricious!

On the last day of the National Day holiday, Lin Qing He and Zhou Xiao Mei took Mother Zhou to climb the Great Wall. The children were left to Father Zhou.

Father Zhou had been to the Great Wall. He went there seven or eight times now. He was especially obsessed at the beginning.

While Mother Zhou, she came here once. That's why she came again.

And was still very overjoyed.

Zhou Xiao Mei took a rare day off. She left the children behind to come out and play on her own, so naturally, she was delighted too.

As for the boy, Zhou Gui Lai, he diligently accompanied these three without complaint throughout the whole process. Altogether, he took more than a dozen photos.

This made his grandmother, Mother Zhou ecstatic.

Mother Zhou', who had been happy for a day, was in a bad mood when she came home. Xu Sheng Mei brought Zhao Jun over.

"You came." But in the end, looking upon the fact that her eldest daughter's begging before she went back, Mother Zhou didn't kick them out. Still, her attitude didn't display much eagerness.

"Grandma, I'm not feeling well these days, otherwise I would have been here earlier. We have already dropped by Uncle's place." Xu Sheng Mei said with a smile as if she hadn't noticed her grandma's expression.

Zhao Jun had gone to Zhou Qing Bai's place and didn't receive an enthusiastic welcome. When he came here, Father Zhou watched TV with an indifferent expression. It can be said that he clung onto a cold butt for a whole day today. Same story with Mother Zhou now. His tolerance was reaching its end.

"Sit down with your grandma and the others. I'll go see my grandaunt." Zhao Jun said, got up, and went to the next door to look for old Madam Hu.

From the beginning, Mother Zhou's expression wasn't good, but now it was worse. she glared at Xu Shengmei, but she didn't give her face and said, "What kind of attitude is he? What kind of attitude? We have to confess his old bones to him!"

Xu Sheng Mei actually wanted to yell at Zhao Jun. Why couldn't he bear it for a bit? It wasn't a big deal anyway. Bear it and they can retain these relatives. If anything happens in the future, they can help out. She didn't expect him to have so littel tolerance!

"Grandma, Zhao Jun didn't mean it. He was just with my uncle's. My uncle didn't pay much attention to us." Xu Sheng Mei explained.

"Your uncle is occupied with his business, so naturally he doesn't have time to talk to you. Didn't I tell you, just get married and live your life!" Mother Zhou replied in an unpleasant tone.

"Grandma, I know I'm wrong. I was bad. But now the marriage is settled, then this matter is considered over. Don't be angry with me." Xu Sheng Mei urged with red eyes.

"Hurry up and put away those few tears. In my opinion, he's not a good apple!" Mother Zhou really didn't have a good impression of Zhao Jun, especially having such a personality.

It wasn't just Mother Zhou criticizing Zhao Jun, next door's old Madam Hu too.

"Why did you come here? I just saw Sheng Mei's grandma come back." old Madam Hu said.

"They don't welcome me, so what am I going for? Come all the way over, they just pour a glass of water and let us sit there!" Zhao Jun rolled his eyes in anger and responded.

He really regretted his death now. He actually married Xu Sheng Mei. She was indeed young and obedient, but what's the use?

She came from the poor countryside. Her family was all small-minded.

He thought that this uncle would be different. He heard that he owned a good few shops and the business was very good. Her aunt was a foreign language teacher at Bei University and can communicate with foreigners without hindrance.

So he didn't mind going over for a visit. It was considered a connection to some extent, but who would have ever thought, he was sitting down on the cold bench to the end.

"Even if you just sit there, you have to sit to the end!" Old Madam Hu stated, looking at her grand-nephew, she said again: "And you didn't come at the right time today. They just came back from the Great Wall."

"From what I see, they don't want to be my relative at all!" Zhao Jun uttered in displeasure. It was almost the truth.

Old Zhou family really didn't desire him.

"What don't want? Now the marriage is settled, be more sensible. Her uncle (Qing Bai)'s whole family is capable. Her aunt (Xiao Mei)'s family isn't bad either. They can help you in any business you want to do in the future." Old Madam Hu pushed him over and said.

Chapter 396. Evidence of flirting

So when she heard that Mother Zhou didn't want to look out for her granddaughter, First Sister became anxious.

"What do you want me to do?" Mother Zhou said inexplicably, "If she really listens to me, would she do such a thing? No matter what excuses, this is a character problem!"

At the end, Mother Zhou snorted coldly.

When she used to discipline her children, she was very strict. Under her hand, none of her four sons and three daughters would dare to do such a thing.

All were well-behaved.

"I don't know what your daughter said to you when she went back. She used to badmouth her aunt but in my opinion. You, her mother, may not necessarily treat her as good as her aunt. I won't talk about the rest. Let her get married and live her life." Mother Zhou waved her hand.

First Sister and her family lived here for three days. Xu Sheng Mei's marriage with Zhao Jun was completed.

Lin Qing He and her two sons didn't even show up. Zhou Qing Bai still looked at his eldest sister's face and participated as her uncle.

Lin Qing He only found out afterward. Xu Sheng Qiang latched on his uncle and said that he wanted to stay and didn't want to go back.

However, Zhou Qing Bai didn't agree at all. He told him to go back for the autumn harvest as soon as possible.

Even when Xu Sheng Mei married out like this, Zhao family was still some distance away. If they didn't come here deliberately, they would rarely meet each other.

After finding time, Lin Qing He took out all the things like the washing machine.

The washing machine was sent to Mother Zhou's side.

Zhou Xiao Mei felt conscience-stricken when she saw it and said, "Fourth Sister-in-law, should we split it equally?"

"No need to split it evenly. Use it for now. When your family buys a house and moves out, then these will be left for Father and Mother to use." Lin Qing He replied.

"It's cost so much money." Mother Zhou condemningly looked at her daughter-in-law.

"It's for Father and Mother to use. Costing much is nothing. Aslong as you can use it comfortably." Lin Qing He held up her hand.

Mother-in-law was really muddled sometimes, but when it came to point of view, she was still normal.

It can be seen from her attitude towards her granddaughter, Xu Sheng Mei's matter.

Mother Zhou was all smiles.

Lin Qing He went back. Zhou Xiao Mei put the clothes in the washing machine as she remarked, "Mother, you have to teach me how to pick a daughter-in-law. Once I'm at your age and have a daughter-in-law who will buy me a TV, a radio, an electric fan, and even a washing machine, then I'll probably be dying of happiness."

"Although your fourth sister-in-law is a little bit temperamental, her treatment toward me and your father is flawless." Mother Zhou beamed.

"The fourth sister-in-law has a good temper. She has never been angry with me. She won't bear it if someone provokes her." Zhou Xiao Mei stated indifferently.

Then she pouted her lips, "First Sister often told me bad things about Fourth Sister-in-law these days. I'm impatient with her nagging."

First Sister and Second Sister were the eldest. Between them and her was her four older brothers. So even though they were both girls, they didn't really have a deep relationship. When her eldest sister and second sister got married, Zhou Xiao Mei was still young.

But in the end, they were sisters. There was nothing to say. Just entertain her when was came and didn't treat her badly.

Only her eldest sister liked to say bad things about her fourth sister-in-law, which she can't accept.

Especially when she pushed Xu Sheng Mei's matters on her fourth sister-in-law. Hearing it, Zhou Xiao Mei wanted to howl that her fourth sister-in-law was wronged.

Er Ni, Hu Zi, and the latecomer Gang Zi. Which one came here and stirred trouble. Only Xu Sheng Mei. So where was the problem?

"I heard Fourth Sister-in-law say that Fourth Brother wants to take care of First Sister if she comes here to make steamed buns. If she does come, would there be any end to the drama?" Zhou Xiao Mei said.

"What kind of business can your elder sister do? Your eldest brother-in-law isn't the material for business. Honestly, with those acres of land, they can be fed. Come and do business? Forget about drinking the northwest wind." Mother Zhou frowned.

"Isn't this because the last time your good granddaughter thought that being able to make a bun, they could do business?" Zhou Xiao Mei smiled. According to that niece's personality, nine out of ten she would say in her heart that her aunt would take care of her (Zhou Xiao Mei) and not take care of her family.

But was it so easy to do business? Not really.

It was due to her Da Lin's cleverness and openmindedness as well as hardwork that it works.

Although her Da Lin can't speak well, all the customers would give thumbs up when mentioning him. This was how great her Da Lin was.

"Don't worry about her. She's married now." Mother Zhou waved her hand.

"When I matched up with Da Lin, my fourth sister-in-law kept saying he was good and told me to consider. She was right." Zhou Xiao Mei said triumphantly.

Marrying her family's Da Lin, Zhou Xiao Mei felt that it was the right choice.

Even when the smelly man got her give birth to four children. Forget it. She empathized with him for being lonely during his childhood and wanted more children.

Mother Zhou didn't know why she suddenly brought this up. She didn't say anything. Of the three sons-in-law, the first two were arranged through a matchmaker. She picked those who seem to be honest and diligent.

The last one, her youngest daughter got her fourth sister-in-law's consultation. Have to say, he was much better than the first two.

"I wonder if Da Wa will come back this year. He hadn't come back during the summer vacation. I wanted to kill two chickens to nourish him." Mother Zhou began to think about her eldest grandson again.

The most doted one in the family was the eldest grandson, Da Wa. Especially since he was astounding.

He made Mother Zhou proud. Her Zhou Family had such a grandson, so how bad can they do in the future?

"Fourth Sister-in-law also misses him." Zhou Xiao Mei responded.

"Will you go to your fourth sister-in-law's place tomorrow?" Mother Zhou asked.

"Da Lin probably going over to get the meat." Zhou Xiao Mei said.

Currently, they didn't have their own freezer at the bun shop. The meat and the likes were all placed there.

"That's fine. I will kill a chicken. At that time, let Da Lin come back here to bring it over to stew. No need to kill it over there." Mother Zhou instructed.

Zhou Xiao Mei agreed.

Su Da Lin and Zhou Xiao Mei had no problem now. They bought the shop. Although the shop had been emptied their wallet back then, the current business situation had them feeling more stable.

However, they still weren't willing to buy a few hundred-yuans freezer. They'll consider it next year. For this year, they can only make do with this method.

Lin Qing He drank her mother-in-law's chicken soup the next day, and it was indeed fragrant.

"Let Mother keep it and drink it. No need to bring it over." Lin Qing He enjoyed it and said with a smile.

"Mother specifically ordered to bring it over to supplement your body." Zhou Qing Bai glanced at her with warmth in his eyes.

A ‘kacha’ suddenly sounded.

Zhou Qing Bai and Lin Qing He both looked at the source of the sound. Zhou Gui Lai was examining the camera in his hands. He snickered to his parents: "I finally caught the evidence of you two flirting!"

Chapter 395. Son-in-law from the capital

This time Ma Cheng Min introduced someone. He recommended on behalf of old Madam Xu, who helped manage the small workshop. That person was her own eldest granddaughter.

She was seventeen years old this year and was helping out at home. Still, was a good one.

Lin Qing He had seen her. Although she looked mediocre, she was obviously a nimble worker. She smiled before welcoming people.

So when old Madam Xu mentioned it, Lin Qing He asked her to bring her over.

The old Madam Xu's husband's family's surname was Chen. The granddaughter brought over was named Chen Shan Shan.

Although the name hinted delicateness, Lin Qing He glanced at her hand. There were many calluses, which indeed indicated a capable worker.

"Because you're a novice, the salary is definitely not the same as that of an old employee. I can only give you 30 yuan a month. It depends on your ability from now on. If you do well, you will definitely get a raise." Lin Qing He looked at her.

Chen Shan Shan wasn't very tall, about 1.6 meters. Still, she didn't get stage fright, nodded, and said: "I know, my mother told me when I came."

Her mother was Li Yu Feng, who was with her mother-in-law, old Madam Xu. One in charge of the night shift and the other in charge of the day shift.

Lin Qing He nodded with satisfaction.

So Chen Shan Shan was arranged for Zhou Er Ni’s clothing shop's side.

But the job wasn't fixed yet. Lin Qing He occasionally made Zhou Er Ni and Cheng Yue swap shifts She got Cheng Yue to watch the clothing store and Zhou Er Ni and beverage store.

She also let Hu Zi or Gang Zi go to the beverage shop. Of course, not often. Just occasionally changing shifts.

At the end of September, Xu Sheng Mei and Zhao Jun came back. And with them, was First Sister and her family.

The whole family came.

Lin Qing He had the urge to laugh when she saw this. What time of year was this now? Autumn harvest was soon. The most important period of the year for a farming family. She didn't expect them all to come.

It seem that this marriage was truly valued.

It was no wonder. They got a son-in-law from the capital. How can they not come and get in touch with good fortune?

Lin Qing He couldn't bother entertaining her. Her attitude was neither lukewarm nor cold. They probably noticed her attitude as First Sister didn't come closer either.

They all went to squeeze in Father Zhou and Mother Zhou's side.

Mother Zhou didn't scold her granddaughter much, but with her eldest daughter, she didn't hold back.

First Sister couldn’t lift her head up from all the scolding. She also felt a bit aggrieved and said: "Mother, I know that Sheng Mei didn't handle it right but now she's getting married..."

"Only thinking about the marriage? If this is in the village, don't even think of raising your heads for the rest of your life. If this was in the former times, see if she will get dragged away to get criticism for being loose !" Mother Zhou reprimanded.

"It's not the former times. Already reforming now." First Sister weakly answered.

"So you are in the right? When she committed this kind of family reputation-ruining act, have she ever thought about old Zhou family? Her aunt brought her here to work. And she? She hid it from all of us. Not only did she secretly got together with someone, but also got pregnant!" Mother Zhou exploded.

"Since Fourth Sister-in-law brought Sheng Mei here, I left her to Fourth Sister-in-law's care. Who would have ever thought of this kind of thing would happen." First Sister looked away.

Mother Zhou wanted to serve her a big slap. She glared at her, "Do you still have a conscience? Do you still have a conscience? Fourth's wife brought her here and gave her food, clothes, housing, and quality daily necessities. Your household couldn't provide this kind of condition. Also, she paid so much salary every month. According to me, she shouldn't pay a penny. It's only right that the niece to do some work for her aunt!"

Mother Zhou wasn't joking about this. In the beginning, she had this thought. She couldn't bear for her youngest son to pay so much salary.

But it was Fourth's wife who said to give it, so it was given and she didn't say anything.

"She was brought over from her hometown to a big place like the capital. Everything given to her was good stuff. Every day, she just watched the shop without needing to suffer the wind or rain. It is many times better than in the countryside. Now you turn it around. Saying that she was like this due to Fourth's wife bringing her here!?" Mother Zhou's gaze pinned on her eldest daughter: "Don't forget, at that time, it was you who sent your good daughter to the old Zhou's house and begged Fourth's wife to bring her over. Fourth’s wife originally intended to only bring Er Ni!"

First Sister lost her bravado, she just responded: "Mother, I know Sheng Mei is wrong in this matter but it's already like this now. You haven't seen Fourth Sister-in-law. She didn't us a good face."

And began to complain.

In fact, First Sister wasn't willing to admit defeat. She was the eldest of old Zhou family. The other three sisters-in-law respected her. Only Fourth Sister-in-law alone didn't take her seriously.

This time it was even more so. Seeing her whole family coming from afar, she didn't host them. Just one word of greeting and it was over.

Putting aside hospitality and all, how much did she dislike her family?

Didn't her fourth brother went back this year and asked her if she wanted to come to the capital to develop?

Such a good younger brother learned to be somewhat hypocritical after marrying this wife. Her family came here and didn't even serve hot water to drink. Now they were here, was there any care?

She used to think that this fourth sister-in-law wasn't good. But now that she became more capable, it went without saying she became worse.

When Xu Sheng Mei went home this time, she had privately sobbed to her mother. Saying, Aunt was partial to Hu Zi, Er Ni, and the others. While she wasn't so good to her and wanted to drive her back. That's why her mind was led astray for a while and did this kind of impulsive thing.

So in First Sister's opinion, did Fourth Sister-in-law dare to say she has no responsibility now that something like this has happened?

Mother Zhou didn't know what she was thinking. If she knew, she will definitely slap without holding back.

But when she heard her eldest daughter’s words, she didn’t agree: “She held good intention and raised such a white-eyed wolf who ruin the reputation of old Zhou family, so don't talk about Fourth's wife. When the marriage is done, go live her life well. And don’t come here often too."

First Sister's expression changed and she hurriedly said, "Mother, we can forget about Fourth Sister-in-law's side. You can't leave her alone. This is your granddaughter!"

Her family came now but when the marriage matters are completed, going back was the normal course of action back. In the future, the daughter will be here alone. She will need her maternal family's care?

This son-in-law was very dissatisfied with this marriage. When he reached their hometown, he disliked their home a lot. He disliked this and then disdained that at every moment.

Still, she accompanied with a smiling face. After all, this was a young master son-in-law from the capital. How could not entertain with a smile?

But regardless of how she entertained him, this son-in-law really disliked their home. In the future, the family won’t be able to help in her marriage. So didn't she need care from her maternal side?

Chapter 394. Recruiting

In short, she was comforted by Lin Qing He. Seeing the future of the old Zhou family was bright, hopeful Mother Zhou was much more energetic.

She can be escorted out to watch TV.

Xu Sheng Mei was also in the living room. She quickly stood up when she saw them coming out, looking worried.

Lin Qing He didn't think she would be worried. Instead, she felt she dared to take this step after careful calculations. She was certain old Zhou Family couldn't do anything to her.

So now this meek appearance was nothing more than an act.

Lin Qing He didn't expose her either. It was already like this, so what was the point of pursuing it? Marry off and be done with it.

Mother Zhou didn't care about Xu Sheng Mei. She went to talk to her youngest son, Zhou Qing Bai.

After sitting for a while with Father Zhou and Mother Zhou, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai went home.

Before leaving, Lin Qing He said to Xu Sheng Mei: "Live with your grandma for the time being. As for wages and the rest, they will be settled according to the number of days. Now you don't have to go to work, no salary is given."

"I will go to work tomorrow!" Xu Sheng Mei replied.

"Our side don't need you. Wait for Zhao Jun to take you home to see your parents." Lin Qing He finished speaking and ignored her.

Xu Sheng Mei and Zhao Jun set off to see First Sister and her husband three days after Zhou Qing Bai and Lin Qing He's return.

These matters no longer require Lin Qing He.

Zhou Xiao Mei felt indignant, even when the matter was resolved now. When she went to the bathhouse with Lin Qing He for a wash, she couldn't help saying: "What do you think she is aiming for? Such a person clearly cannot be married. "

"Capital's household registration. Life in the capital." Lin Qing He pointed out concisely.

She came over and saw the prosperity of the big city and couldn't stand the poverty in her hometown. Lin Qing He could understand this.

This was the normal mindset. Such a prosperous place, who didn't want to stay?

But if one wanted to stay in this kind of place, it wasn't a matter of a word. One needed to pay more effort and sweat.

This was also the reason why Lin Qing He wanted to train them. Even in the 1980s, their academic qualifications must be upgraded.

But what kind of personality did Xu Sheng Mei?

To put it bluntly, she wanted to sit back and enjoy her results. Even more accurate, she was lazy.

So to stay in the capital, finding a man in the capital to marry was the best method to her. Especially when the conditions of the Zhao family were pretty good. So wasn't she as stinky as Zhao Jun? And hit off so well?

"Judging from how Zhao Jun is dragging things, there will be a lot of conflict in the future." Zhou Xiao Mei remarked.

His injury wasn't very serious. From how he delayed the journey back was it not clear? Obviously, he wasn't pleased.

It's just, Xu Sheng Mei was already carrying now. Whether he was willing or not, he can only accept. Due to the pressure from Father Zhao and Mother Zhao, he went with Xu Sheng Mei.

Lin Qing He didn't say anything.

"I think his parents are actually okay." Zhou Xiao Mei said.

Lin Qing He smiled. Father Zhao and Mother Zhao showed a very good attitude so far, but there were so many demons and ghosts in this world.

In her last life, she heard a colleague talk about her mother-in-law.

When she wasn't married, she was nice to her. Simply treating her like a daughter. Such a good mother-in-law was hard to find in the world.

But once she married over, it was almost like was a changed individual.

So, whether they were good or not, it can be discussed later. However, these were all for Xu Sheng Mei to face. Lin Qing He didn't care.

Then she told Zhou Xiao Mei about Zhou San Ni.

After hearing this, Zhou Xiao Mei curled her lips and commented: "San Ni can be regarded as ruined. To end up from the belly of Second-in-law."

Lin Qing He said: "It looks like it's a good one. Her future life shouldn't be too bad."

When she went back this time, she didn't even talk to Second Sister-in-law. No even a letter. It saved some trouble.

But she did see Zhou Liu Ni. The bigger she gets, the more crooked she became. Eldest Sister-in-law shook her head and sighed when she talked about her.

Lin Qing He estimated that in the future, Zhou Liu Ni might also be performing a drama like Xu Sheng Mei. Her eyes spun endlessly. From a glance, one can tell she wasn't someone who behaves.

Lin Qing He didn't bother to ponder about these troublesome matters. After the wash, she and Zhou Xiao Mei went home separately. Then Lin Qing He started to do the accounts.

They had been away from home for more than a month. She only found time to manage the ledgers now.

After checking the accounts, she noticed that the ledger book showed some differences. It was the account of the small workshop. The quantity of goods received did not match the quantity of goods shipped out.

Lin Qing He called Ma Cheng Min over.

When he heard that the ledgers didn't match, Ma Cheng Min was shocked and quickly took it to examine.

"Last month's purchase of cloth and satin should be able to produce about 3,000 ready-to-wear garments. But why in the end, there were only two thousand and eighty ready-to-wear garments?" Lin Qing He asked.

She didn't oversee it much anymore, but she still knew exactly how many clothes can be made out of how many fabric. This wasn't the first year she owned the workshop.

"Huh." Ma Cheng Min's expression was solemn, he said: "Give me some time!"

Lin Qing He glanced at him and nodded.

Ma Cheng Min immediately rode his bicycle to the small workshop. He also scanned through the accounts of the women's clothing stores and men's clothing stores.

It wasn't until after nine o'clock in the evening when he came over and knocked on the door.

Relief and apology was written on his face: "It was a mistake in the account. Still, the profit wasn't off. The numbers matched."

Lin Qing He had seen the account book. The money was indeed right because the pricing was uniform. No bargaining. It was clear how many clothes were received.

The money in the account wasn't less. Still, the account book was missing more than 20 pieces of clothes, so Lin Qing He brought it up.

She believed that Ma Cheng Min had accidentally jotted down mistakes. Not testing her bottom line.

"Record it accurately next time." Lin Qing He nodded after checking his records.

"En!" Ma Cheng Min was greatly relieved. This mistake shouldn't have happened.

"Cheng Yang and Cheng Yue aren't bad. I will raise their salary." Lin Qing He informed.

"Okay." Ma Cheng Min was overjoyed when he heard this.

Because it was late and Lin Qing He had class tomorrow, Ma Cheng Min didn't stay much longer. He went back after sitting for a while.

"The money we owe Uncle Wang will be paid back to him at the end of the year." Lin Qing He said to Zhou Qing Bai.

"Okay." Zhou Qing Bai had no objection. He took the ledger and looked at it and remarked, "It seems fine."

Lin Qing He nodded. Just as she was about to speak, Hu Zi and Gang Zi came back.

Evening classes ended at nine o'clock. They always reached home at half-past nine.

First, the two of them sent Zhou Er Ni back to the dumpling shop before returning to rest.

And Lin Qing He has already started recruiting these days. Cheng Yue was temporarily helping Er Ni in the women's shop, while Hu Zi went over to the beverage shop.

However, there was always a shortage of manpower. So Lin Qing He planned to recruit one more.

Chapter 393. A family of scholars

Mother Zhou felt that she was upright in this life and there was nothing shameful about her.

But this time, it had her anxious.

"In the past, she often wagged her tongue in front of me, saying that you were biased against her, didn't value her, and only valued Er Ni and Hu Zi. I didn't pay her any heed. Now she actually committed this act!" Moher Zhou said angrily.

At this, Lin Qing He laughed (T/N: not in a happy way, I think).

After she finished speaking, Mother Zhou regained her wits and hurriedly said: "She did grumble like this, but Mother never took it seriously. What kind of person you are, Mother knows. The reason why I didn't tell you is to not pile more onto you!"

"She probably has her own plan." Lin Qing He redirected.

Mother Zhou couldn’t stand hearing about this granddaughter anymore and snorted coldly: “What plans can she have? I’ve heard about that Zhao family. That lad from Zhao family is twenty-five and still hasn't settled down. This marriage might not be so good in the future. However, you guys can leave her be. She asked for it herself!"

Being able to force gentle-tempered Mother Zhou to say such words, it can be seen how angry she was.

Lin Qing He smiled. She understood. She had been upright and honest throughout her life. Now, as long as people talk about it, they don't dare to say they have nothing to be ashamed of.

Almost too embarrassed to see people.

"Now things are like this, just wait for First Sister and First Brother-in-law to come. Mother, look on the bright side. Don't torment yourself like this." Lin Qing He said, "The washing machine is a good one. You will have to learn to use then."

"It's not necessary to buy a washing machine. Let Xiao Mei wash it by hand," Mother Zhou responded.

Zhou Xiao Mei lived with her own father and mother, so the clothes was naturally left to her. Unless she wants her mother to mind her children as well as doing housework?

Fortunately, she didn't do that. Otherwise Lin Qing He would dare to lecture her.

"This washing machine is bought for both of you. Xiao Mei is extra." Lin Qing He said.

"Just be filial to me and your father." Mother Zhou rebuked.

Lin Qing He couldn't bear how her mother-in-law was acting like a baby, so she quickly changed the subject and told her about San Ni and marriage.

"San Ni is going to marry? To which family? How's the conditions on the man's side? This girl is introverted. Don't know if she will be bullied?" Mother Zhou fired a series of questions in rapid succession when she heardthist.

"That family's surname is Li. Not from our place. From the neighboring county. It's a little far away. Qing Bai and I went over and took a look. The mountain village is a bit poor," Lin Qing He responsed.

"Being poor isn't a problem. When I was with your father, your father didn't have anything. As long as he works diligently, he would have everything." Mother Zhou remarked.

Lin Qing He nodded: "We haven't seen him in person but after listening to what Eldest Sister-in-law said, I feel he's pretty good. It's just he is ten years older than San Ni and his legs are a bit lame."

" Ten years older and lame legs?" Mother Zhou couldn't help but exclaimed: "This...How could this do?"

"When I just heard, I felt he wasn't suitable. However, I kept on listening and found him pretty good. He also gave a gift of 400 yuan. The sincerity displayed is sufficient." Lin Qing He said.

Li Ai Guo had moved out. As a single man, he can take four hundred yuan as a gift showed that he wasn't incompetent.

It can't be ruled out that it could be borrowed from someone. But to be able to borrow in this age and that much, it showed how much ability he had.

And Lin Qing He didn't think it was borrowed. Don't forget how Zhou San Ni and Li Ai Guo met. Li Ai Guo wanted to come over to their county city since he finished selling his ware. It was only then he came across such an unexpected marriage.

Also, seeing how he consideration he has shown for Zhou San Ni, it shouldn't be too bad when looking at the bigger picture.

In Lin Qing He's mind, it was at least better than Xu Sheng Mei's one. Several times better.

The only con for Lin Qing He was that the road over was problematic.

"Four hundred yuan as gift money?" Mother Zhou was surprised when she heard it.

She didn't expect it to be so much.

Her expression eased and said, "It seems that he really values San Ni. I watch San Ni grow up. She's not a good talker. Still, I look forward to her marrying someone honest."

Speaking of this, Zhao Jun popped up in her mind again and she just harrumphed. He was obviously a bad apple. No different from a rogue. When granddaughter marries such a man, it was hard to say whether she will have a good life in the future!

"Eldest Sister-in-law has 25 more big ducks at home now. It seems that if she raises them well this year, she will raise more next year. From now on, she can make a lot of money just from the duck eggs." Lin Qing He chatted about First Branch.

"Your eldest sister-in-law can take care of the family." Mother Zhou felt much better.

"Third Sister-in-law's side is the same. It's quite profitable. I guess they might buy a house in the city in the future." Lin Qing He continued.

"Buying a house in the city, that's also good." Mother Zhou approved.

After all, they had moved to the city, so naturally, they had to buy their own house. They can't always live in her son-in-law's house.

Lin Qing He also told Mother Zhou about the two college students, Zhou Yang and Zhou Wu Ni.

"Now everyone in the village envy our family. Producing college students continuously. In the future, Yang Yang and Wu Ni will graduate and come out to teach. That's a stable career. Basically, there is no need to worry. Also, my second boy. He wants to stay in college and be my colleague once he finishes his studies. Adding this up, how many teachers are there in our old Zhou family?" Lin Qing He said.

Mother Zhou's mood improved a lot. Her face was full of joy.

"In the old society of the past, a scholarly family is almost like our old Zhou family." Lin Qing He remarked.

"It really is." Mother Zhou couldn't help break into a beam.

Oh, her old Zhou family had become a family of scholars. Really, when she goes out and talk about the number of college students in her family, who won't praise?

"In the future, my boss will also have to find you to find the granddaughter-in-law of a college student. This one by one, in the future, who can look down on our old Zhou family?" Lin Qinghe added the last sentence.

Mother Zhou had already jollily laughed: "All of you are wonderful. Brilliant!"

"Let's go. Go out and watch TV. Staying in the room on a hot day. An electric fan isn't enough." Lin Qing He said.

Mother Zhou thought that how wonderful the future of her old Zhou family was. She couldn't let a granddaughter of a different surname ruin it.

Letting people know of this was simply staining oneself.

So Mother Zhou said: "Since want to marry, then marry. We won’t blame. We brought her here, give her food and clothes. And she still won't behave. Once she marries over in the future, I don't hope for much. Just that we have less contact."

She was no problem but don't let her grandchildren's reputation be ruined. When the time comes, they will marry college student granddaughters!

Chapter 392. Talking behind their back

This old lady can talk.

In one sentence, she admitted that her family was wrong, but also mentioned that Zhao Jun was beaten. She also indicated that although Zhao Jun was wrong, Zhao Jun would take complete responsibility for this matter.

Moreover, it had already happened now. No matter how they pursued the matter, it will be of no avail. It would be pretty good to have a good result.

Lin Qing He had already planned it out in her heart. Her family would definitely not attend to Xu Sheng Mei's wedding banquet. But at this moment, she was willing to give Xu Sheng Mei a tiny bit of face to get her marry over quickly and smoothly so this will be all over!

It had nothing to do with her whether she will live well or not well in the future. Xu Sheng Mei chose him by herself, so don't come to her. She was a grown-up, not a child. She got to pay for her actions.

And when First Sister and First Brother-in-law come, Lin Qing He intends to talk some sense to them. She will definitely not leave herself any shortcomings in this matter!

"You're polite. Now that the matter is resolved, then it's resolved. What's more, my eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law know about it. Now just waiting for Zhao Jun to take his fiancée back to see his mother-in-law." Lin Qing He said with a smile.

Old Madam Hu found her words impeccably, but the underlying was that she won't get involved. With this, she knew that this person was angry.

But she couldn't say anything. In the end, it was her grandnephew who committed this crooked matter.

When old Madam Hu went back, Lin Qing He swept her gaze towards Xu Sheng Mei.

Xu Sheng Mei bit her lips. She stepped forward to kneel in front of her uncle and aunt.

"Neither of us are dead yet. If you dare to kneel, don't blame for returning it with a slap." Lin Qing He wasn't one to be reserved, especially now that she despised Xu Sheng Mei.

She had never tripped up so much in her life. Only this one time. It was due to her being soft-hearted and wanted to promote her niece!

Unexpectedly, such a veritable white-eyed wolf was nurtured.

Xu Sheng Mei's face paled: "Aunt, I..."

"Don't give me that act. When you made the choice, you should know what attitude I would have. Wanting to get married into Zhao Family. Wonderful. I only hope once you marry over, you won't regret it in the future. As for the rest, you don't need to say much. All in all, it is you who will go to Zhao family to live in the future." Lin Qinghe said lightly.

Once she finished, she didn't waste her saliva anymore. She turned around and went into the house.

"Uncle, I know I was wrong in this matter, but I didn't understand..." Xu Sheng Mei knew that her aunt wasn't easy to deal with, so she planned to explain a bit to her uncle.

Although Zhou Qing Bai didn't speak, his brows were pinched from beginning to end. There was obvious disappointment in his gaze.

"Since you came, your aunt and I never treated you badly. Now you choose this path, then you can walk it by yourself in the future." Zhou Qing Bai spoke.

He knew his wife. Sometimes, she can be strict but this strictness wasn't targeted at anyone specifically.

Even if it was her own son, she wasn't merciful when she was strict.

Whether it was Hu Zi or Er Ni, when they do something wrong or can't grasp their lecture, they will always be scolded by Lin Qing He. But because they weren't her own children, she wasn't so harsh.

All in all, they just suffer a sentence or two.

And about the matter of her putting her mind toward these nieces and nephews they brought over, Zhou Qing Bai knew very well. If she didn't want to train them, how could she pay for them to go to evening school?

Even the ledger was occasionally brought over for them to practice and let them try to do the accounting.

Er Ni and Hu Zi were both motivated. However, this niece had no thoughts in this regard.

These were all personal choices. She didn't choose, then there was nothing to say. Since she wanted to watch TV, then go watch.

Who would have known, she actually did such a thing.

Zhou Qing Bai was a traditional-minded and rigid person. He had nothing to say about such a vulgar incident.

He didn't say much and came in to see Mother Zhou.

Father Zhou was watching TV, while Mother Zhou was lying in the room. As she rested, the fan blew. There were oranges next to her.

Zhou Qing Bai glanced at his wife who was peeling oranges for his mother and did not go in.

"Qing Bai and I went to the south this time and saw a lot of things. When we went there, I thought how Father and Mother don’t have a washing machine here and how much effort it is to wash clothes for so many people. So I bought one for you. In a few days, it should be delivered over." Lin Qing He passed the peeled orange to Mother Zhou and chattered.

Mother Zhou ate the orange peeled by her most capable daughter-in-law. She felt much more comfortable in her heart. Still, she couldn't help but feel aggrieved.

"Say, what kind of fate I have? At this age, I still have to worry about these young people." Mother Zhou sulked.

"You and Father are both enjoying the life of good fortune. What need is there for both of you to worry? This granddaughter is old Xu family's person. Not from our old Zhou family." Lin Qing He flatly pointed out.

"Although she isn't our old Zhou's family's, she is also a granddaughter of our old Zhou's family. It is really embarrassing when brought up. I don't have the face to buy groceries." Mother Zhou ashamedly uttered.

Mother Zhou really felt that she was actually quite successful in her life. Her life was a bit worse off in her early years. But after her middle age, she basically had nothing to worry about.

First, her most beloved youngest son grew up and got an allowance as a soldier. She was envied by the village for a while.

And because of youngest son’s allowance, the family’s situation was a little better compared to those surrounding villagers.

Later, she did feel some regret that her youngest son retired. However, youngest daughter-in-law suddenly sprung up and became a teacher in the community's middle school.

So her old nose gained respect.

After that, it was smooth sailing. Daughter-in-law and eldest grandson were admitted to a university. Daughter-in-law even became a foreign language teacher at Bei University.

Not to mention that district, even looking at the entire county, there wasn't a second person like this can be found.

The community leaders would occasionally drop by to show their concern. Say, as a mother-in-law and a grandmother, how much face did she gain? How much respect?

Later, youngest son and his family were all brought over to the capital by daughter-in-law. Their household registration was moved and they became a citizen of the capital.

She and old spouse were brought over here to live in comfort.

Simply a blessed life.

Even when she walked with the capital's local old ladies, she didn't feel she was a rung short of them.

All this glory and pride were thrown on the ground by this granddaughter.

She was pregnant with someone's child before she got married. If this was in the village, she would really be drowned by saliva.

Even if the man took responsibility, it won't be the end. People would talk behind their back!

Chapter 391. Take responsibility

Actually, Lin Qing He's speculation hit the bullseye.

Zhao Jun took a liking to Xu Sheng Mei's beauty. Xu Sheng Mei lived up to her name (which means superb beauty). In terms of looks, she could not compare with Lin Qing He when she was young. Still, she was definitely beautiful.

And this year, she happened to be exactly eighteen years old. Eighteen was the prime time in a woman's life. How can a girl at this age not be appealing?

Especially for Zhao Jun who was twenty-five years old and was still single.

Although he was single and had not married yet, it didn't mean that he hadn't had a woman before. He did and was quite experienced. He can be regarded as a veritable skirt chaser. However, he didn't get married. Truly rogue-like behavior.

With the way Xu Sheng Mei was, he took a fancy at a glance. Naturally, he wanted to mess around.

But what he didn't expect was that Xu Sheng Mei was also a scheming person with tricks up her sleeve. When he was thinking about her body, she made calculations.

If she can successfully marry Zhao Jun, then she will be a true citizen of the capital.

Zhao Family was rich. This was what old Madam Hu told her. Once she married over, she have money to spend without even having to go to work. In the future, would her uncle and aunts dare to look down on her?

At that time, she can get her brother to come over. Not only her brother but also her whole family.

When the time comes, she will help her family members to change to a capital's household registration. Then, they're a citizen of the capital.

Because of these considerations, Xu Sheng Mei put up weak resistance and let him have her after meeting a few times.

Still, Xu Sheng Mei wasn't simple. Even though she was still young, she knew that she had to pull Zhao Jun along, so he will not lose interest.

In fact, this time pregnancy happened only after doing it two times with Zhao Jun.

And for Zhao Jun? He certainly didn't have the intention to marry Xu Sheng Mei. Now he got her, he would change woman after a certain period pass.

In every age, there was no lack of scumbags.

However, when one hunts wild geese all day, they can get blinded by geese's pecks. Who knew that Xu Sheng Mei was so capable. Counting the time, he won the lottery on the day he took her virgin body.

Because of her virginity, even if Zhao Jun wanted to say that it wasn't him, he couldn't. Xu Sheng Mei had no other man except him.

And this time, this matter was stirred up by Xu Sheng Mei.

Xu Sheng Mei wasn't stupid. She was somewhat scheming. She vaguely realized that Zhao Jun didn't really want to marry her.

So she coaxed old Madam Hu to go to the hospital for a check-up and said she was unwell.

Like this, it was found out that she was pregnant.

In all fairness, old Madam Hu wanted to introduce Xu Sheng Mei to her maternal grand-nephew. She only wanted to let Xu Sheng Mei marry over. She found Xu Sheng Mei promising.

Xu Sheng Mei can pretend. In front of outsiders, she always appeared obedient and submissive. She also liked to come out to sweep the doorstep and the yard. Also, old Mister Hu occasionally went over to watch TV and noticed her being called by Mother Zhou to wash dishes or something.

In short, old Madam Hu thought that the young girl was pretty good and was suitable for her grandnephew.

In addition, her grandnephew's family situation wasn't bad. If the two young people meet each other's eyes, there will be no problem.

So old Madam Hu never thought of using the trick of cooking uncooked rice. People in this generation were all old-minded, so would they dare use this trick?

She was thinking it was fine for them to chat a bit and didn't think too much. Who would have thought that this girl, Sheng Mei, was impregnated by her grand-nephew? When the doctor said that, old Madam Hu was deeply embarrassed.

Needless to say what happened after that.

The news of Xu Sheng Mei's pregnancy was revealed. Zhou Kai and the others went to beat Zhao Jun and he entered the hospital.

Mother Zhou found out afterward and also got sent to the hospital on the spot. Zhao Family didn't even dare to find the fault. Zhao Jun was beaten in vain.

Originally, Zhao Jun wanted to put up some struggle and wanted to break up with Xu Sheng Mei. He didn't know Xu Sheng Mei was pregnant when he was beaten.

He kept clamoring for revenge and settling the scores. Later, he learned that Xu Sheng Mei was pregnant. After he counted the days and it matched the day when he took her innocence.

Even he became meek.

As for old Zhao family, they were angry at first. Who would dare to bully their Zhao family? But after old Madam Hu explained what was going on, old Zhao family was delighted.

Zhao Jun was the second son of the family. He got an elder brother above and two younger brothers below. They were all married. Even the youngest brother was married.

Only Zhao Jun didn't want to marry. He was already twenty-five, how can they not worry if he didn’t get married?

It was really shameless to hear this thing happening right now, but Father Zhao and Mother Zhao have the desire to let Xu Sheng Mei into the family. Once she marries in, all the problems will be resolved soon?

From then on, the two families are relatives. So there wasn't anything that can't be overcome.

He probably noticed his parents' intention. Zhao Jun was reluctant about marrying Xu Sheng Mei.

Thinking about it, he didn't really like Xu Sheng Mei that much but she was obedient and meek. If not, she wouldn't be half compliantly slept by him.

So Zhao Jun nodded. Because Zhao Jun agreed to marry Xu Sheng Mei, this matter only subsided in these two days.

The whole situation was like this.

After hearing Zhou Xiao Mei's recount, Lin Qing He coldly snorted, "I don't dare to decide on her behalf in this matter. Have to get her to call her parents and let her parents take charge of the overall situation."

Zhou Xiao Mei had the same idea as her fourth sister-in-law. It was extremely embarrassing that she actually did such a thing. She said: "I already called back the day before yesterday to talk about it."

"The two of you work away first. I will go with your fourth brother to see Father and Mother." Lin Qing He got up and uttered after understanding the matter.

She felt that her mother-in-law must be nauseous. The two neighbors were aiming for her grandson and her granddaughter.

Her grandson wasn't successfully captured. While her granddaughter was slept by the other. Simply not careful in making friends.

With a solemn face, Zhou Qing Bai brought his wife over. Currently, Xu Sheng Mei wasn't at the clothing store, but with her grandma and grandpa.

As soon as the couple came over, they saw Xu Sheng Mei eating fruit. Old Madam Hu was next to her. Old Madam Hu probably brought it to her.

"Uncle, Aunt." Xu Sheng Mei stood up with slight guilty conscience when seeing the two of them.

Old Madam Hu was also a little embarrassed and said, "Child's Uncle and Aunt, don't worry. When Zhao Jun gets discharged from the hospital, he'll go home with Sheng Mei to pick up family-in-laws. At that time we will hold the marriage. We will definitely take responsibility for Sheng Mei."

Chapter 390. Zhao Jun

When Zhou Qing Bai and Lin Qing He came back, they came to the shop first.

In the shop, old Wang, Zhou Xuan, and Zhou Gui Lai were present. So was Aunt Ma. On the surface, everything was normal.

But when they saw the husband and wife come back, Zhou Xuan and Zhou Gui Lai were flushed with angst.

What happened in the past few days had the two boys feel clueless.

No matter how capable they were, the older one, Zhou Xuan was only sixteen years old.

"This camera is an imported product from Germany. Seeing your performance, I gritted my teeth and bought it for you." When Lin Qing He came back, she hadn't noticed so much. She smiled when she saw the two boys and took the camera out of the bag.

But even the camera couldn't save Zhou Gui Lai’s mood!

Even when this was what he dreamed for!

"Dad, Mom, you must be hungry. Eat first." Despite feeling unsettled, Zhou Xuan had already cooked two bowls of dumplings.

Zhou Qing Bai and Lin Qing He came over to eat.

They noticed the strangeness in the children, old Wang and Aunt Ma. But the shop was still open as usual, so it normally shouldn't be a big deal.

Lin Qing He asked while eating, "What's wrong?"

"Dad, Mom, eat first. Then go to the bathhouse to take a shower. We'll tell you when you come back." Zhou Gui Lai wanted to answer but Zhou Xuan spoke first.

He knew that his parents had drained from the journey back. Besides, it had already happened, so it went without saying there was no rush.

"Speak!" Zhou Qing Bai frowned and looked at him.

"Dad, Mom, Sister Sheng Mei is pregnant!" Zhou Gui Lai couldn't back and announced the astonishing news.

Both Zhou Qing Bai and Lin Qing He were stunned in this instant.

Old Wang sighed, while Aunt Ma, who was washing the dishes, became solemn.

"What do you mean? Are you sure you said it right?" Lin Qing He put down the spoon and looked at her younger son and uttered.

"It can't be wrong. Sister Sheng Mei is pregnant. She is one month along. Even got a check-up report from the doctor!" Zhou Gui Lai answered.

Zhou Qing Bai stared at his second son.

Zhou Xuan spoke: "Dad, Mom, you should eat first. Then go to my grandparent's side when you're done.

Of course, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai ate quickly. After eating, they rode their bicycles straight to the house. However, Lin Qing He got Zhou Qing Bai to come to Su Da Lin's bun shop first.

Su Da Lin and Zhou Xiao Mei were both busy in the bun shop.

Seeing that the two of them came back together, they called out happily: "Fourth Brother, Fourth Sister-in-law, you finally returned. Just arrived? Did you eat?"

"We ate. Just came from the dumpling shop." Lin Qing He replied.

"Fourth Brother, Fourth Sister, you know?" Zhou Xiao Mei asked when she heard that they came from the dumpling shop.

"What's exactly going on?" Lin Qing He got straight to it after sitting down.

Su Da Lin continued to work away, while Zhou Xiao Mei told them the situation.

This was the good matter was created by Mother Zhou's good neighbor, old Madam Hu.

Old Madam Hu got a grandnephew from her maternal family's side. Her maternal family, Zhao Family was indeed a wealthy household. They can be regarded as a well-off person in the capital.

At this time, having a well-off standard of living was naturally very good.

And the one who made Xu Sheng Mei's belly big was called Zhao Jun.

Zhao Jun was currently lying in the hospital.

Well... Zhou Xuan led Hu Zi and Gang Zi and the three of them caught Zhao Jun and beat him until he needed the hospital.

Even until now, none of the Zhao family dared to come to look for trouble.

It was because Zhao Jun wasn't the only one who was admitted to the hospital. Mother Zhou couldn't bear the blow at the time and lost her breath when she heard the news and fainted.

She was also sent to the hospital in a hurry.

This had scared old Madam Hu and Zhao Family. Mother Zhou's age was quite high and if anything happened to her, then this matter won't be easily resolved.

Don't underestimate old Zhou Family due to having a foreign household registration and didn't have many relatives here. They owned a lot of business now!

And when it came to this matter, who didn't know who was wrong?

So when the young man, Zhao Jun was beaten into the hospital by a few youths- Zhou Xuan, Hu Zi, and Gang Zi, they didn't dare to get onto the boys' case.

They even had to pay a sick visit to Mother Zhou and give their apologies.

"Mother is at home. She is fine now. It's just that Sheng Mei's matter isn't easy to deal with." Zhou Xiao Mei sighed.

"What's so hard?" Lin Qing He sneered: "She has the ability to get pregnant before marriage and wants to use her body to keep a man, then she should have expected the consequences. She is eighteen years old, not a minor. ."

Let's not talk about Zhao Jun for now, but Xu Sheng Mei. Her own stance wasn't upright, so what qualifications did she have to request help from others?

However, compared with Zhou San Ni's fiance, Li Ai Guo, this man called Zhao Jun wasn't a good thing!

He made her pregnant before she got married. It was no big deal in future generations. She knew how open it was in future generations. Many females changed their cohabiting boyfriends one after another. This was their freedom, so they had no right to discuss it.

But was this moment the future generations?

Even when this period was reforming and was already 1982, the overall social culture was still very traditional.

However, both Zhao Jun and Xu Sheng Mei still dared to commit such act!

If she wasn't her niece, Lin Qing He would forget it after hearing about it. But it happened to be the niece she brought over.

Lin Qing He's face was already black.

"Fourth Sister-in-law, don't be angry. You can't be blamed for this nor can it be blamed on any of us." Zhou Xiao Mei said. She won't give this niece any good face anymore. Simply made people disappointed!

"What did Zhao Family say?" Lin Qing He took a deep breath and asked.

"Zhao Family said they would take responsibility." Zhou Xiao Mei answered.

So far, this can be regarded as the only consolation. However, Zhou Xiao Mei still frowned slightly: "I don't think that Zhao Jun is a good match."

Lin Qing He coldly sneered: "She, Xu Sheng Mei, chose him by herself. No matter whether he is or not, she has to accept it!"

If he really dote Xu Sheng Mei, would he harm Xu Sheng Mei's reputation for his own thoughts? Clearly, he was going for Xu Sheng Mei's appearance.

Eighteen-year-old and was indeed pretty. So he wanted to make a move, no?

If he had a shred of sincere love, he would have thought it through. If he really wanted to marry her, then he would properly come and bring it up. Old Zhou family won't oppose it. After all, Xu Sheng Mei was marrying into the capital. This was indeed marrying into a higher rung. If she really had such good fortune, who would stop her?

But to use this method, it put both parties in an unsightly position. This was the so-called sincere love? Nine out of ten, he just wanted to play Xu Sheng Mei.

Unexpectedly, Xu Sheng Mei's stomach was so capable and she became pregnant!
