BTTS 399




 Chapter 399. A head shorter than son-in-law


As soon as Wang Yuan's words came out, Zhou Er Ni was taken aback for a moment. Then she glared at him with slightly embarrassed-fury.

Wang Yuan already stopped looking at her. He turned to Lin Qing He: "Teacher Lin, you have to help me with this matter."

Lin Qing He didn't notice his little actions with her niece and replied: "Your clothing factory is so big and lack an accountant?"

"That's right. Our clothing factory also lacking people in a popular industry like accounting. Especially, after I saw the form made by Hong Ying. It's not an overstatement to say to understand at a glance." Wang Yuan nodded.

Lin Qing He grinned. She taught this to Er Ni. Hu Zi knew it too. She responded, "Is Er Ni enough? Should Hu Zi go with her?"

"One is enough," Wang Yuan said.

Lin Qing He didn't say anything. Although she didn't have a lot of manpower on her side, she got Chen Shan Shan. Then transfer Cheng Yue over and Zhou Er Ni could free up her hands to handle something else.

As for the beverage shop, let Hu Zi or Gang Zi go over. There was no big problem then.

"It's okay to go over to help. Treat it as making extra money." After Wang Yuan left, clueless Lin Qing He said to her niece.

She really had a good impression of Wang Yuan. This wasn't a rich second generation who eat, drink, and messing around waiting to die. This rich second generation got self-motivation. What's more, they had been cooperating with each other for so long. Not a ganef youth.

Now that she knew that old Wang and his grandfather were old acquaintances, there was no more to say.

"Fourth Aunt, we are still busy here. The manpower isn't enough and Chen Shan Shan hasn't caught on" Zhou Er Ni didn't want to go over.

The man was a bit of a rogue. Of course, he didn't do anything to her. He just wanted to become her partner. He asked her if she agreed. If she didn't agree, he would hold her hand. If he held her hand, then she had to agree to go out with him.

Too rascal.

After she came back that day, she didn't want to go there anymore. She would push as long as she could. If she couldn't, she'll rethink then. She didn't expect him to come knocking.

Also asked for her from her fourth aunt to go to his clothing factory to help. She didn't believe there was anything to help over there.

"Shan Shan grasped it very quickly. Don't worry, go over. What's more, the accounts of big factories are more complicated. This is good practice for you." Lin Qing He said.

When the accountant experiences more and examines more, it'll definitely beneficial. So this wasn't a big deal.

What else could Zhou Er Ni say? She could only poutingly agree.

She was just a little worried. If her fourth aunt finds out, what to do?

She knew exactly how angry her fourth aunt was from Xu Sheng Mei's affairs last time. Now she ignored Xu Sheng Mei.

Although it didn't involve her, Zhou Er Ni was a little worried about making her fourth aunt unhappy.

She just hoped that Wang Yuan really needs an accountant. Not creating something from nothing. She, a country girl, never thought of marrying someone from the capital like him. Especially, when his family was so rich.

She knew it was a mismatch at first glance.

Zhou Er Ni came over to her grandparent's place. She came here to wash clothes and sheets for her grandparents.

Mother Zhou laughed and said, "There is no need. Your fourth aunt bought us a washing machine. It is very convenient to wash everything. Just pour water in it."

All the washing machines in this period have to be filled with water manually. Not automated like the later generations.

Zhou Er Ni found it quite innovative and said: "This washing machine cost a bit. When I went to the mall with my fourth aunt, it seemed to cost a few hundred yuan."

"It is expensive." Mother Zhou nodded. Even when it was expensive, her daughter-in-law was willing to buy it for her.

Unlike the two little old ladies next door. They were a bad bunch. It was no wonder that their daughters-in-law weren't filial to them much!

She didn’t have a good impression of old Madam Zhu because she made her granddaughter sound like a celestial coming down to earth and wanted to stuff her to her grandson. But in the end, it didn’t happen. Still, it made Mother Zhou displeased with her.

Originally old Madam Hu was fine but who had thought that she called her granddaughter over to see her grand-nephew behind her back.

Also, secretly let them date on their own. It caused her granddaughter's belly to become bigger.

Mother Zhou became vexed when she thought of it. So she didn't interact with these two neighbors anymore.

Old Madam Hu was thin-skinned. She knew that she disliked her, so even when she knew she had a washing machine here, she didn't dare say anything.

That old Madam Zhu didn't want any skin or face. She actually wanted to bring her clothes over to wash.

Water didn't cost anything, but the electricity did. Mother Zhou directly said that the washing machine was broken and couldn't be used!

Her daughter-in-law was being filial to her. Why should she let that old thing enjoy the benefit? Don't even think about it.

"Er Ni, we country folks, but don't covet so much. Being honest is the important thing. The capital is good, but people here look down on us country folks. It might not necessarily be a better life when marrying over." Mother Zhou warned her granddaughter.

Zhou Er Ni responded: "Grandmother, I know."

"It's good that you know. If Sheng Mei has awareness like you, she won't be living such a bad life. You don't know. It's like pampering an ancestor. If a man is pampered like this, isn't he going to reach heaven? Won't he be worst in the future? From the beginning, he's not a good thing." Mother Zhou said.

Then she murmured to her granddaughter: "Your aunt (First Sis) has said her precious son-in-law looked down on her home. After reaching their home, he was disgusted with her home like it is worthless. If it weren't for Sheng Mei's capable belly and got impregnated by him, would she have to lower herself?"

She had three sons-in-law. Which son-in-law dare to complain about her home in front of her? See if she would hit him with a stick!

Her eldest daughter was molded in such a way by son-in-law. Why? In the end, wasn't it because her daughter can't develop herself.

It became a buyer's market. The other party picked and chose, while she dare not say anything. Otherwise, they will flip out and say they don't want. Then there will be no place to cry.

It was truly a misfortune.

Zhou Er Ni nodded and assured: "Don't worry, Grandmother. I won't shame our old Zhou family."

"Grandmother naturally believes in you. I heard from your fourth aunt that you made great advancement. You will definitely be promising in the future." Mother Zhou smiled.

"It's due to my fourth aunt's willingness to teach me." Zhou Er Ni curled her lips and smiled.

"Sometimes your fourth aunt is a bit temperamental. She will scold when her temper flares up. Don't worry about it. She will lecture if she cares about you. If she doesn't, she won't give you a second look." Spoke for her youngest daughter-in-law.

This was the honest truth. For example, look how her youngest daughter-in-law didn't give Xu Sheng Mei a glance?

"I know." Zhou Er Ni smiled. Her fourth aunt can scold people, but she rarely does it. It wasn't that harsh.

Still, her fourth aunt understood a lot. She felt that her teacher at night school can't compare with her fourth aunt.

"When you go back later and bring a basket of eggs with you. They were all laid by my own hens. Take them back to nourish your fourth aunt and Er Wa. Studying exhaust the brain." Mother Zhou went to get the eggs and instructed.

    3. Aw man Er Ni needs to stay safe! She's a genuinely good girl who doesn't deserve to be mistreated or her family looked down on. Qing He is gonna feel really silly later for not noticing I bet 😂

    4. Err... I feel like Er Ni should have told LQH or talked to her about it but she didn't. Things can really get out of hand because she kept silent... Wang Yuan's character is also too vague...

      1. Right? I got frustrated every time she had the chance to speak out but she didn't. Though knowing Er Ni's character and the situation at that time, it's quite understandable why she kept quiet. I just hope she will speak out eventually or LQH will notice before it's too late :/

        They are still in the pace of 'getting to know each other' I think? 😂
