BTTS 373




 Chapter 373. No end


Seeing that his wife in high spirits, Zhou Qing Bai had twinkles in his eyes.

However, it was a little hard to imagine. This property was indeed excellent, but will it be able to reach tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in the future?

The property where Father Zhou and Mother Zhou lived now wasn't small. It was more than 200 square meters, but when compared with this, it was incomparable.

Not only the area but also the number of rooms and yards were incomparable.

The couple walked around in the yard.

They didn't plan to rent it out and also didn't plan to come to live in it. If they want to live in it, they'll live in it in the future. For now, put it aside.

The door was locked and the couple went home.

Although both pockets were empty and still owed old Wang 10,000 yuan, it didn't affect their mood.

After all, the long-desired courtyard dwelling had fallen into their hands.

It can be considered a wish fulfilled.

When buying the courtyard dwelling and buying other properties, only the two of them knew about it.

None of their sons knew about it.

Still, this didn't affect their sons' attractiveness.

Mother Zhou met up with the neighboring old Madam Zhu, who wanted to discuss the match with her granddaughter Zhu Zhen Zhen and Zhou Kai.

But really, the youngest son and eldest grandson were the lifeblood of the elderly.

Regardless of whether it was Zhou Qing Bai or Zhou Kai, the father and son's positions were incomparable in Mother Zhou's heart.

Especially her grandson, Mother Zhou has never seen any grandson better than her grandson.

After graduating from Bei University and entering the military academy after graduation, he will make further progress in the military in the future. Was there anyone as fine as her grandson?

Such an excellent grandson, got to find someone with a similar talent for him.

It wasn't that Mother Zhou being arrogant. She had seen that Zhu Zhen Zhen. She was timid and weak. A big girl from the capital was even small-minded than a rural girl. Like she had never seen the world.

If one didn't listen carefully, they won't be able to hear what she was saying.

Well, it was someone else's granddaughter. Naturally, she can't say anything. But what was she hearing?

Old Madam Zhu wanted to match Zhu Zhen Zhen to her grandson?

Mother Zhou answered right then: "Though I'm his grandmother, I don't have the right to manage my grandson's marriage. His mother decides it. I can't."

"How can you not? You're his biological grandmother. Your words have power." Old Madam Zhu countered.

Mother Zhou internally uttered 'If your granddaughter is nimble, open, and educated, then I can go bring it up and get her grandson engaged even when she's not necessarily pretty. Then they only need to marry in the future.'

But look at her. Is your granddaughter worthy of my grandson? You're dreaming.

Thinking that way, Mother Zhou said calmly on the surface, "I don't get involved in any matters. All my grandchildren's marriage isn't under my responsibility. It's up to their mother."

Old Madam Zhu originally thought that as soon as she mentioned it, this old Madam Zhou must be over the moon and agree immediately. But unexpectedly, she shied away?

"Does my Zhen Zhen not meet your eye or something?" Old Madam Zhu said directly.

Mother Zhou laughed in her heart, while her expression displayed displeasure: "What are you saying? I have seen Zhen Zhen with my own eyes. She works neatly. How can she not meet my eyes? But look at me. Since I came here, there's nothing I can help my youngest daughter-in-law with. She buys this and that for us. If I go to decide on her behalf and casually start something for her, would you be happy if you were her?"

Old Madam Zhu wasn't one to be easily dissuaded and replied: "Your daughter-in-law is filial to you. What you said is definitely useful. What's more, I find your grandson is certainly okay. If not, I would keep my Zhen Zhen for a few more years."

Then keep her. How many years you keep is your business. What does it have to do with me?

Mother Zhou spoke to her with impatience. Saying, that she would go and talk to her daughter-in-law when she had time. Then she went home and complained to Father Zhou.

"I was saying why her daughter-in-law would be annoyed with her. Pester incessantly. Wasn't my attitude not obvious enough? She makes her granddaughter sounds like a rare beauty. Where did she get the face? She's quieter than a cat's meow. Looking like that, it seems like speaking louder can scare her. Da Wa doesn't have that personality. How can he possibly fancy that kind?" Mother Zhou grumbled.

Father Zhou didn't even bat his eyelids. He had a good relationship with old Mister Zhu. When he wasn't busy, he often went to the park with old Mister Hu. The three of them played chess.

"Old man, what do you say about this? From her attitude, she really wants to marry her granddaughter to our grandson." Mother Zhou said.

"Are you willing?" Father Zhou indifferently responded.

"Of course I'm not. Doesn't meet my eyes." Mother Zhou said angrily.

It wasn't just her eldest grandson. Mother Zhou won't even be delighted to match her to Hu Zi, her grandson from her daughter's side.

She didn't like this kind who hides matters in her heart and then looked aggrieved. From the sight, this one was the kind who dare not speak in the open and bad talk in the back. Sooner or later, something would happen.

"Don't worry since you aren't willing." Father Zhou didn't treat it seriously.

Since old Zhou family wasn't willing, would old Madam Zhu be able to marry her granddaughter over. Let alone Mother Zhou, even Father Zhou didn’t like Zhu Zhen Zhen.

Even if it was a local capital girl, her grandson wasn't a rung lower. He was now a registered household registration in the capital.

The main thing was the temperament. Clearly not on the same wavelength as her grandson.

Mother Zhou had planned to deal with it coldly. She didn't intend to go over and tell Lin Qing He. She knew Lin Qing He would definitely not agree.

She herself didn't agree.

But she couldn't handle old Madam Zhu who pester to no end.

Every time she talked like her granddaughter was someone of high position. As if her eldest grandson had climbed up the ranks.

"I haven't noticed her obstinate temper before. It's really annoying. No wonder her daughter-in-law isn't filial to her at all. I have never seen anything like this!" Mother Zhou doesn't want to interact with old Madam Zhu now. Simply wasted all those brined peanuts and soybeans that she had invited her to eat before!

Because she was so annoyed, she came over and perfunctory brought it up to Lin Qing He.

"How old is Eldest now? He's only eighteen. It's still early. He said he'll set up his career first and then start a family. He will also find a girl similar to him in the future. Let him find one himself." Lin Qing He said.

"Find one himself? How can this do?" Mother Zhou responded.

"He will find a nurse or the like from the military hospital in the future. It'll be pretty good as it is convenient to take care of him." Lin Qing He explained.

The candidate she was most satisfied with was Weng Mei Jia. A decent and extroverted person, who was beautiful and open. She got a high degree of education and good family background.

Especially, since she wanted to enter the military hospital. She guessed it was more or less due to her eldest.

As for others, Lin Qing He had no plans at present.

Hearing what she said, Mother Zhou was obviously satisfied, and said, "If he can find one over there, that would be great."

Lin Qing He nodded: "Mother, go back."

      1. If I found my dream home I won't want to rent it out either (though I feel it's a waste that they won't be living in it anytime soon).

        Besides, since they are planning to buy more property, they'll most likely rent those out instead.

      2. It's not like it was newly built from the ground up. People have already lived in that courtyard. For the MC, who's been a moneymaking machine this whole time, to make the dumb decision not to rent it out and earn money back from this expensive courtyard makes little sense.

        But as always with these stories, the longer they are, the more actions characters take, the more they may do stuff you don't agree with. Of course, the author will have her make money through other means, but I found it pretty out of character and super dumb of her.

      3. i think she does plan to live in it but they would have to explain where the money came from. despite borrowing money from wang, this kind of property is obviously more than 10000.

      4. I’m guessing she wants to preserve it. The value of a courtyard house isn’t just that it’s big and spacious. It is also because it’s a courtyard house.

      5. Because ostentatious
        If they rent it out, the renters will know they own the place. Knowing that time of no secrets and nosy neighbors, how they're gonna explain that they can afford that place?

    4. Lol she's been so silent these chapters that I almost forgot how this mother-in-law from the countryside can get lol

    5. Да, навязывать псевдо-тихоню яркому парню - глупо. Тем более, что Да Ва таких девушек не понимает и обходит их.

      1. yeah! i was thinking the same thing! the author must hate shy people. but can really truly say they hate introverts since papa zhou and ml are considered introvert in the mbti. but they author definitely hate shy people or people with social anxiety.

        Delete
      2. Nah, I don't think the author hates introverts.
        Look at Er Ni, seems introvert to me. Even LQH is introvert, she mostly keeps to herself and her family although she socializes when she have to, otherwise she just keeps to her business, this is introvertness. Introvertness does not always mean being socially inept or shy. It how one person gains energy. Obviously LQH gets energy from ZQB 😉, but you get my point.

        I think what the author hates were white lotus btches lol, pretending to be shy but are scheming behind at the back of their minds. Not introverts or extrovert. Because if so, Liu Ni is extrovert and we all hate her guts, Lin Third Brother is extrovert too it seems, and we adore him.

        The brothers too, Da Wa is definitely extrovert. Er Wa is introvert, San Wa I'm not sure, but chances are he's extrovert.
