BTTS 384




 Chapter 384. Marriage with someone ten years older


Of course, more important than these comfortable days, there was no need to be under the same roof with Second Sister-in-law.

As their life got better, Third Sister-in-law's patience was running out.

Let alone her, even good-tempered Eldest Sister-in-law can't tolerate her. Otherwise, why were they hoarding adobe this year? They were planning on building a new house during the slack period and move out.

Of course, the reason was the children in the family were getting big and not enough room. But more often, it was because can't get along with Second Sister-in-law.

"The business here is pretty good?" Lin Qing He asked with a smile.

"Although it is tiring, it's not bad." Third Sister-in-law smiled heartily.

If this was someone else, nine out then times, they would cry how poor they were. Saying that doing business wasn't profitable and can barely feed themselves. How about lending some money?

Since it was this passable sister-in-law, Lin Qing He, this move was really unnecessary because they don't really mind at all.

"I bought a motorcycle for my brother. It will be much more convenient to travel between the city and the countryside in the future. He booked it earlier. At that time, you haven't opened a shop, Third Sister-in-law." Lin Qing He said.

She won't explain what shouldn't be explained but what should be mentioned, there will be two sentences.

"Motorcycle?" Third Sister-in-law's eyes lit up.

"En, my brother and sister-in-law weren't very willing, but in the end, they listened to me and asked me to buy one back." Lin Qing He nodded.

"Cost a lot?" Third Sister-in-law said.

"More than seven hundred." Lin Qing He replied.

"More than seven hundred?" Third Sister-in-law exclaimed. It really wasn't cheap at all.

"If it's cheap, I won't simply watch Third Brother riding a bicycle and buy one back for him. But it's too expensive. I have to ask your opinions. My brother and my sister-in-law were also reluctant. If you want to buy it, you can call me then. For a short time, we can't. You have to wait for this time next year." Lin Qing He said.

"En. I'll discuss with your third brother. It's just the price is too dear." Third Sister-in-law responded.

Lin Qing He smiled and talked about Wu Ni's college.

Speaking of this, Third Sister-in-law grinned: "Must thank you for this. Wu Ni said that she worked out one major math problem. The type was exactly the same as what Er Wa explained to her. There was also an English listening part. She was three points away from the full score. All due to the tape recorder you bought."

Lin Qing He smiled: "Wu Ni and Yang Yang are about to go to college. As their fourth aunt, I will also gain face. It's not worth talking about."

"At this time, she should be at her classmate's house. One of her classmates has also been admitted to the same school. They were thinking about going to school, so I didn't stop her." Third Sister-in-law grinned.

It explained why Wu Ni wasn't at home. Lin Qing He would naturally not mind this.

"You'll go home and have a look?" Third Sister-in-law asked again.

"Got to back." Lin Qing He nodded.

"When you go back, you don't have to pay it any heed if the second room says something." Third Sister-in-law advised.

"What's wrong?" Lin Qing He raised an eyebrow.

"Last time I went back, she spoke to me in an eccentric tone as if I owed her money. I didn't do anything to her." Third Sister-in-law explained: "Also, you don't know what kind of marriage she settled for San Ni."

Speaking of this, Third Sister-in-law felt sick.

"San Ni got engaged?" Lin Qing He was also surprised. But it wasn't out of the norm. San Ni was just a little younger than Er Ni. Also, at the age of marriage.

"She will get married at the end of this year." Third Sister-in-law nodded.

"Engaged to what kind of person?" Lin Qing He asked.

Lin Qing He was very optimistic about this niece, San Ni at the beginning. The girl was honest and had a temperament like her father.

But over the years, her temper had become more and more solemn. She didn't say a word.

She used to be good, but don't know what happened and became like this.

Engaged with someone ten years older than her. His leg is a little lame. I heard that his temper isn't good." Third Sister-in-law's heart was burning when she said this.

Even as her aunt, she can't stand it. But what can she do? One can manage the sky and land, but can't manage the marriage the mother arranged for their daughter, right?

Upon hearing the man's situation, Lin Qing He frowned: "Why did she agree to such a marriage?"

"That side has given a lot of money."Thord Sister-in-law answered.

There weren't so many rules in the countryside, like gifting major household items. Still, the man was also willing. After all, for such a young woman, he was willing to give four hundred yuan as a gift.

At this while, four hundred yuan was really enormous gift money. It was considered that the woman was highly thought upon. Why else would one give such a glorious amount of gift money?

However, Third Sister-in-law wasn't satisfied. Let alone Lin Qing He.

"Isn't this selling daughter?" Lin Qing He remarked.

Third Sister-in-law sighed: "I got old Third to go back and ask Second Brother. You knowhow Second Brother is. He has no power at home."

Lin Qing He heard this and dryly laughed. She used to think that Second Brother's temper was a good thing. Now something like this happened, she didn't have a good impression of Second Brother.

That was his own daughter. Being ten years older and having a lame leg wasn't a problem. Having a bad temper won't do.

Since Third Sister-in-law can find this out, it must not be wrong. What if there was a tendency for domestic violence?

With Zhou San Ni's temperament, even if she was beaten, she wouldn't dare to say.

Had Second Brother never thought about this possibility? Maybe his mind was clouded by the 400 yuan gift money.

"I'm not optimistic about this marriage. The man's side can't do it. But now the marriage gift is given, it's only short of San Ni marrying over during slack period." Third Sister-in-law shook her head.

Lin Qing He frowned. She also couldn't intervene in this. Sister-in-law was just sister-in-law. What position did one have to stop them from marrying their daughter?

Especially since the man gave four hundred yuan as gift money. This sincerity was sufficient.

"Let's not talk about this. This year, Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law are going to build a new house. Our family also has a site. I'm thinking, should we build a new house?" Third Sister-in-law mentioned.

They had made a lot this year. So building a new house wasn't a problem.

"After it's built, you won't live in it. You'll only go back for a few days during the New Year. It's better to buy one here in the city. Living in Xiao Mei's place isn't a long-term solution." Lin Qing He said.

"I was so focused about these trivial matters at home that I haven't asked sister-in-law and brother-in-law? Also, how are Father and Mother?" Third Sister-in-law asked.

"All of them are well. It's safe and secure over there." Lin Qing He nodded.

"That's good." Third Sister-in-law responded and continued the topic about buying a house in the city. She and Third Brother's thoughts were that they didn't have household registration in the city. Wouldn't it be unreliable to buy a house in the city?

"What's unreliable? It's the same. It doesn't make a difference. My brother is planning to buy one." Lin Qing He said.

Third Sister-in-law nodded and she knew it in mind.

      San Ni married a good man actually. Yes, he's ten years old than her but he's a good and considerate guy. The rumors about his bad tempe, iirc, due to his bad relationship with his parents who didn't favor him while the villagers of his village knew he's a good guy. Even when San Ni couldn't bear a child even after a year of marriage, he didn't blame her. later, LQH brought them both to the capital. Ah, I think his name is Han Aiguo something like that

      1. Of course! Everyone cheers for her happiness (≧◡≦) ♡ She's a nice and lovely girl, if not for her mother she would grow up to be like Er Ni who has confidence

      2. I’ve always hoped that LQH would help San Ni get away from Second Sister in law but when she decided not to take her to the capital in the end I was sad. I guess it makes sense, LQH would not help anyone who doesn’t try to help themselves and that was her problem with San Ni, that she was too passive. But now it’s great cause San Ni found a way to be happy on her own!
