BTTS 393

 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!
