Chapter 428. Argued for a few days
"Want to go to night school?" Zhou Qing Bai asked after listening to them.
"Uncle, I want to go." Xu Sheng Qiang didn't really want to at the beginning, but being pinched by his sister, he could only bite the bullet.
"How many words do you know?" Zhou Qing Bai asked.
Xu Sheng Qiang couldn't say. Zhou Qing Bai threw his menu to him and said, "Read it once."
Xu Sheng Qiang stuttered on his reciting. Zhou Qing Bai frowned, and uttered, "I'll let your aunt know about this matter. Go to the second floor. Er Ni has a dictionary that she doesn't use. Let your brother take it back to study it."
The latter half was toward Xu Sheng Mei.
Xu Sheng Mei was overjoyed and went up to the second floor to grab the dictionary. After bringing the dictionary down, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Uncle. I will make Qiang Zi study hard!"
Zhou Qing Bai didn't say anything. He let them go back first.
Lin Qing He got off work. Zhou Qing Bai told her about it. Lin Qing He stared at him without speaking.
Zhou Qing Bai coughed dryly and said, "Let him go."
"He can. If anything happens, you can take care of it yourself. Don't come to me." Lin Qing He stated angrily.
Although she understood that he was their uncle and wanted to pull them up, she was separated from her by a branch. What's more, there Xu Sheng Mei as an example. So don't expect her to step in.
Zhou Qing Bai felt helpless, but still said, "I will take him over to sign up."
Lin Qinghe rolled her eyes and didn't bother with him, She went directly to the clothing store.
Zhou Er Ni was doing today’s inventory. When she saw her coming, she said, "Fourth Aunt, why are you here."
"Just making rounds." Lin Qing He replied, "In the future, Xu Sheng Qiang will probably go to night school with you."
Zhou Er Ni didn't say anything.
Lin Qing He took today's entry into her hand and remarked, "Business is pretty good today."
"Yeah." Zhou Er Ni nodded and comforted: "Sheng Qiang want to go, let him go. Don't stress about it, Aunt."
"Nothing to stress. I just feel that once he enter night school, he'll probably stir something up. You probably don’t know. My deskmate, Teacher Yang’s house living near Zhao Family. Xu Sheng Qiang put someone in the hospital." Lin Qing He looked at the account as she mentioned without raising her head.
Teacher Yang did not know that Xu Sheng Qiang was the nephew of old Zhou family and spoke about Zhao Family as gossip. Lin Qing He didn't take it seriously at first, but then she felt something was wrong when she heard it. After asking vaguely, she found out Xu Sheng Qiang had beat someone up.
Zhou Er Ni froze and immediately her face changed: "He beat someone into the hospital?"
"Yes. Brilliant, right?." Lin Qing He uttered. She knew that her family Qing Bai was softhearted. Although her niece let him down, he still wanted to save his nephew. She didn't want to stop him. She got to let him see for himself what kind of virtue this nephew had.
Her family Qing Bai was that kind of person. He won't be disappointed that easily, but once he was disappointed, there was no turning back.
She felt that Xu Sheng Qiang wouldn't be willing to go to night school. Nine of ten, he was listening to his sister's words. On his own, he wouldn't think of going to night school.
It was fine if he obediently attended it. But if something happens again, Lin Qing He still wanted Zhou Qing Bai to take care of it by himself.
She will not go.
"At night I will sleep with you in the dumpling shop." Lin Qing He said.
Zhou Er Ni was dumbfounded: "Fourth Uncle agreed to let Xu Sheng Qiang go to night school?"
"I don't blame your fourth uncle. It's his nephew. It's normal to want to promote him. I'm just annoyed with him." Lin Qing He responded.
Although she didn't want to go home to sleep, Zhou Qing Bai came over and brought her back. Lin Qing He didn't want the children to see them make a fool of themselves. So she gave him a few pointed gazes before going back with him.
"If you are angry in your heart, you can beat and scold me." Zhou Qing Bai said helplessly.
Lin Qing He didn't bother to talk to him and sleep on her own.
Zhou Qing Bai hugged her to sleep. Lin Qing He ignored him. Stinky man.
Outside the room, Hu Zi, Gang Zi, and Zhou Gui Lai were a bit confused.
"What's the situation? They're quarreling?" Zhou Gui Lai asked.
"Should be?" Hu Zi said.
"I didn't hear the fight." Gang Zi perplexedly uttered.
"Xu Sheng Qiang will attend night school with you later." Zhou Xuan changed the topic.
He knew what was going on. Zhou Er Ni had told him.
Hu Zi, Gang Zi, and Zhou Gui Lai understood then.
"It's not a big deal. It's not worth Mom and Dad to argue about." Zhou Gui Lai puzzledly uttered.
Hu Zi and Gang Zi looked toward Zhou Xuan. He said: "I heard Sister Er Ni said that Xu Sheng Qiang beat a worker into hospital for talking nepotism. Heard that he was very heavily injured."
"I was saying." Zhou Gui Lai rolled his eyes, "He got quite a capability!"
Hu Zi and Gang Zi frowned.
"It's okay to go to night school together, but if he calls you to fight, stay away." Zhou Xuan warned Hu Zi and Gang Zi.
He was close to Hu Zi, Gang Zi, and the other. While he had no affection for Xu Sheng Qiang. They were like strangers.
Xu Sheng Qiang entered the evening school five days later. However, he wasn't in the same class as Zhou Er Ni and the other. Nor was he in the same class with Gang Zi. He was in the most basic class, and his studies were more basic.
Even so, he can't keep up with the pace. What's more, he had no talent in this area. Rather than saying he was attending night school, he was actually sleeping at night school.
Gang Zi was in his neighboring class. Although he wasn't studious, he was obedient. He was afraid of his aunt. What if his aunt does spot-checks? So he put his heart in learning. More or less, something entered in his brain.
Unlike Xu Sheng Qiang. After a few lessons, he stopped learning and went to sleep.
Gang Zi was kind and asked him whether he should teach him after class. However, Xu Sheng Qiang instantly rejected this.
Gang Zi left him be. He also didn't like to talk about Xu Sheng Qiang's matter. But when he comes to Father Zhou and Mother Zhou's side, Father Zhou and Mother Zhou would ask about him.
Gang Zi didn't know how to lie, so he responded, "I'm not very clear. We aren't in the same class. He is next door to me. When I asked if he understood, he said he understood."
"Better let your aunt teach him." Mother Zhou said.
She felt that with Fourth's wife's knowledge Qiang Zi would be enlightened if she was willing to teach him.
"Grandma, don't mention this in front of my aunt. For this matter, Aunt hasn't spoken to Uncle for a few days now." Gang Zi stated.
"Huh?" Mother Zhou froze.
"They quarrel?ed" Father Zhou chimed in.
"Not considered a quarrel. Just ignoring my uncle." Gang Zi answered.
Mother Zhou said: "Just because your uncle allowed Qiang Zi to go to night school, your aunt isn't pleased?"
"What are you talking about? Fourth's wife isn't that small-minded." Father Zhou frowned.
Gang Zi didn't know how to lie, so he responded, "I'm not very clear. We aren't in the same class. He is next door to me. When I asked if he understood, he said he understood."
"Better let your aunt teach him." Mother Zhou said.
She felt that with Fourth's wife's knowledge Qiang Zi would be enlightened if she was willing to teach him.
"Grandma, don't mention this in front of my aunt. For this matter, Aunt hasn't spoken to Uncle for a few days now." Gang Zi stated.
"Huh?" Mother Zhou froze.
"They quarrel?ed" Father Zhou chimed in.
"Not considered a quarrel. Just ignoring my uncle." Gang Zi answered.
Mother Zhou said: "Just because your uncle allowed Qiang Zi to go to night school, your aunt isn't pleased?"
"What are you talking about? Fourth's wife isn't that small-minded." Father Zhou frowned.
I thought they already know about the beating incident... or it is just from the perspective of XSM, I dont remember.
ReplyDeleteAnyway thanks for the chapter
He lied for his cousin but he can't lie for his aunt and uncle? ๐๐๐
ReplyDeleteoh qing bai you're just wasting your money on that scumbag nephew
ReplyDeleteXu Sheng Qiang needs shoulder thrown by Fourth aunt. And go home to his mother.
ReplyDeleteSome times Mother Zhou really piss me off. She’s always talking about how Lin Qing is great and stuff but then she doesn’t trust her judgement. Like seriously ? She’s a damn business women and without her don’t even think about setting foot in the city, let alone the capital. What more she’s not obligated to pay for him, heck she doesn’t need to even care about the Zhou family nephews and nieces. She doesn’t need to use the money she OWN to raise them. And also about making come to capital and be her employee, that’s truly kind of her. She can find people more experienced and pay them the same salary. Let’s not even talk about how she feed them and let them stay and the gifts she give them. She treat them better than their own parents. Also Qing Bai pissed me off, how you make decisions and not ask your wife ? He’s so fcking dumb and yeah I get it he’s his nephew and stuff but that doesn’t mean he can overlook the fact that the guy did beat up a guy till he’s hospitalized. Not even talking about his character. Nobody in this Zhou dumb family deserve our female lead. And yeah I’m mad ๐คฃ
ReplyDeleteI thinn Zhou Qing Bai didn't know about his nephew beating someone up but mother Zhou on the other hand, why can't she give the fl a breather? Always saying this and that.
DeleteActually I kind of take it back the thing I said about mother Zhou hahaha just finished reading the next chapter. Oh well I'm a softhearted person.
DeleteI'm taking everything I said back
DeleteDoesn't MC flap her mouth a lot during pillow talk despite not liking "gossiping"? Doesn't Qing Bai know his nephew beat someone up? Is he waiting for an actual death before he'll cut this nephew off? Or did MC choose not to say anything and she's the one waiting for an actual death before she'll let her husband know? She DOES have the knowledge and she still agreed to her husband's request, so it's mostly on her for assenting.
ReplyDeleteBut she told Er Ni, why wouldn't she tell her husband? So he does know, and he still asked? He's not as upright as he pretends to be.
Sometimes I want to crack open Mother Zhou's brain to see what's inside. Not in a literal sense, and also, fiction. lol
ReplyDelete“ Lin Qing He stared at him without speaking.”
ReplyDeleteSIGH girl, like wth? I honestly would have the same reaction because seriously? Do you think your family shit is not enough yet? Imagine leaving your shitty family and helping your husband’s shitty family. I’ll probably just leave. Masochist? ๐ฌ
