Chapter 410. As Eldest Sister-in-law
Although he was from the country and looked average, his sturdy built was really appealing.
From then on, Hu Zi will encounter Zhang Mei Lian from time to time. Because Zhang Mei Lian showed her gentle and generous side, Hu Zi thought this girl was pretty good.
Lin Qing He didn't know these things.
On the first day of the New Year, they stayed at home and had prepared a lot of sweets and snacks at home to entertain the workers who came to visit.
On the second day of the New Year, Father Weng and Mother Weng brought Weng Mei Jia over to the house as a guest.
Needless to say, Lin Qing He was delighted.
Especially when Mother Weng clicked with her.
"I have never seen anyone with such good maintenance like Teacher Lin. Young Kai and his two younger brothers are already this big and you're not looking any bit old at all. I'm like a yellow-faced woman compared to you." Mother Weng uttered.
Originally, she felt Lin Qing He was young from the photo she saw. Let alone seeing her in person. She was truly looked youthful. Not like a person of this age at all.
Lin Qing He smiled: "It was bitter before sweet for me. I got a lot of worries back then. Now that the naughty boys are all grown up, I got to think about myself. I don't want to worry about them for the rest of my life. Let me lazy around."
"My mother used to say, stealing a floating life for half a day." Zhou Gui Lai said.
It had Father Weng and Mother Weng all smile.
Lin Qing He asked Weng Mei Jia: "Have you started your internship this year?"
"En. I have completed most of the theory. I will start the internship this year." Weng Mei Jia nodded.
The internship takes up a lot of time. It takes about two years before one can become a regular employee.
"No rush. Take your time. You are only this old. Still, you choose this major well. No matter when it is an in-demand career." Lin Qing He said.
"It's just too laborious." Mother Weng felt distressed for her daughter.
Being a nurse wasn't easy. After all, not every patient and their family members were so friendly. Some were quite unreasonable.
"I like this profession." Weng Mei Jia shook her head.
"Being a nurse is really hard work, especially during the internship. Still, it trained people. You grow up, you should learn to be on your own." Lin Qing He said.
"The nurses in military hospitals have it be better." Zhou Qing Bai said.
"En. I plan to enter that industry when the times come." Weng Mei Jia pursed her lips and smiled.
"Our eldest will be out of the military academy next year. When the time comes, he'll be at the same place as you. You have to help Aunt Lin mind him." Lin Qing He said.
"My brothers are also there. We will take care of each other at that time." Weng Mei Jia nodded.
Lin Qing He was very satisfied. Listen, how good she was with her words?
"Young Kai isn't young at this age. My family Guo Liang also said that he would introduce him to someone." Mother Weng smilingly mentioned.
"What introduction? He's only that big. Still, haven't grown up yet. However, I will treat my daughter-in-law like a daughter in the future. There will be no such mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts that happen out there on my side. There will be no need to live with me in the future. When the time comes, they'll move out alone and be their own master." Lin Qing He stated.
"Oh, I'm just zoned out a bit and you all reached so far? Is sister Mei Jia going to be our sister-in-law?" Zhou Gui Lai, who was watching TV, turned around and uttered.

No matter how calm Weng Mei Jia was, she can't help but blush.
"A kid. Don't have a lock to his mouth. Uncle, you guys, ignore him." Zhou Xuan said.
Lin Qing He didn't say anything. Just turned to Mother Weng: "When do you usually have a break?"
"It's Sunday." Mother Weng deliberately ignored that sentence and answered.
"Me too. I'm usually idle at home on Sundays. If you are free, come and find me. I will make you some good things." Lin Qing He uttered.
"Then don't find me annoying then." Mother Weng grinned.
Originally, they didn't plan to stay for lunch, but couldn't win Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai's like for their daughter.

They stayed for lunch before getting sent out.
On the way back, Father Weng kept saying, "They're really great."
It needn't be said for Mother Weng. She felt that if she was in-laws with Lin Qinghe, they would be like sisters. It would be truly wonderful.
"Mei Jia, what do you think?" Mother Weng asked her youngest daughter.
Weng Mei Jia blushed: "Mom, what are you talking about? It's nonsense. Zhou Kai's brothers doesn't know the situation."
"You already this big. Mom is going to start looking around for you. Your grandma still had to talk about it before, but my mother didn't agree with the situation in the family. The old Ji's house next door also came and talked about it. Didn't agree." Mother Weng said.
When Zhou Kai first attended college, Mother Weng was thinking about it. Now after so many years have passed, the more she looked at Zhou Kai, the more satisfied she became.
But this satisfaction reached its peak after meeting Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing bai.
"If I find someone for you, then I must be looking for someone like Zhou Family. You've seen it too. Your Aunt Lin and your Uncle Zhou get along well. Zhou Kai almost grew up with your second brother. You know his character." Mother Weng said.
"Mom. It's the New Year. Don't talk about this." Weng Mei Jia said helplessly.

"Mom. It's the New Year. Don't talk about this." Weng Mei Jia said helplessly.
"Then let's not talk about it. Anyway, I am optimistic about Young Kai. If you find someone else and have a bad life in the future, then don't come to me and cry." Mother Weng said.
From the eyes of the experienced, she found that Zhou Family had no flaws. What's more, they matched with her family's conditions.
Father Weng eased the situation, "It's going to snow later. We have to head back quickly."
So the family made their back.
Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai were in a good mood. Lin Qing He pulled out ten yuan and rewarded her Third: "Take it to buy sweets."
Just now Third's innocent remarks allowed her to be certain that Mother Weng had that intention. Lin Qing He was very pleased because she happened to be pondering about another's daughter becoming her own daughter-in-law.
"Mom, do you really want Sister Mei Jia to be our sister-in-law?" Zhou Gui Lai grinned after receiving the money.
"What? Can't do?" Lin Qing He said.
"Of course it can. My eldest brother should marry someone like this. She is gentle and knowledgeable. She is a college student and a nurse. The conditions at home are great. A match with our family." Zhou Gui Lai threw out flatters one after another.
"It's fine to talk about it with me. You aren't allowed to bring it up outside, understand?" Lin Qing He warned.
"I know. I'm not brainless. The birthdate characters haven't been checked yet." Zhou Gui Lai replied.
Lin Qing He was satisfied and sat down with Zhou Qing Bai for a cup of tea. She cozily said: "If this goes smoothly, our family will gain an addition in two or three years."
Zhou Qing Bai had transferred his desire from a daughter to a granddaughter. He kind of wanted to hold a granddaughter, and responded, "Let him work harder."

lol, slow down ZGB your eldest hasn't married yet hehe
ReplyDeletehaha he can't wait for a granddaughter
DeleteLet him work harder said grandpa Bai.
ReplyDeleteOk pops is onboard if it means getting a granddaughter 😂 no mercy on his sons at all. What happens if it's a grandson? Probably gonna be the only family in this era with a grandfather crying in disappointment at getting a grandson
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, Da Wa: ??? Me? A daughter?? Nobody gonna ask me?
ReplyDeleteLQH: *slaps his head*
No one even asks if he wants this wife or not.
DeleteI swear, SanWa (GuiLai) has a penchant for seeking death.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I know HuZi will be fine but it still worries me to read that he has a good impression of Zhang MeiLian. This child needs to network better because if the Zhang sister's reputation is as bad as they it is, he should've heard something already.
Do they still have 1 child family rule in China at that time?
ReplyDeleteI saw documentary said it end in 2016 so I'm quite worry for DaWa if he has a second kid.
Yeah, They changed the policy to 2 children in 2016, and now to 3 children (2021) because the 2016 policy failed to increase China's birth rate. But considering their age, DaWa and his wife would be already too old for them to have more by this time even if they want to😅
DeleteThough based on what LQH said previously, it seems they would depend on SanWa to have more grandchildren lol. He'll be in business so he will have money to pay the fine fees and people won't say much cos he's not working for the government haha
before MC said she wouldn’t arrange marriage and let her kids find someone they like but look at her arrange this behind his back.
DeleteEnforcement of the one child policy loosened in the early 2000s, especially if the family only has a daughter, much earlier than the official policy change in 2016 and 2021.
DeleteThere were also ways to grease palms and avoid repercussions nearing the 2000s.
Delete@Anonymous on May 10 2022! Right?! This is just so disheartening. I feel so suffocated from disappointment right now. Da Wa doesn’t know anything, he doesn’t even feelings for the girl except for the facts that she is her good friend’s little sister, that she’s pretty, and that her mother likes her so he told her to take the girl as a goddaughter not as a daughter-in-law. And of all the families out there, Qing He chose a family of groomers.
Delete*his mother likes her so he told his mother to take the girl as a goddaughter
DeleteSo much for independence and free will. I had really thought that since Qing He was from the modern era, her sons would at least be free from the shackles of the old traditional practice of arranged marriages. Still can’t escape, can’t escape.
DeleteZQB may have given up, but not me. I believe in you, Author ssi. Whaiting!
