BTTS 431

 Chapter 431. Rotten


"I will adjust tomorrow afternoon's class. Let Second do this same and come over watch the shop for you. Shall we go to the swimming pool?" Lin Qing He arrived and asked him.

"There's a swimming pool?" Zhou Qing Bai loved swimming.

"I only heard about it from my colleague today." Lin Qing He nodded.

This swimming pool was newly opened. One didn't need to change the bus to get there. It was a direct route. The fifth last stop and they were there. It was open 24 hours a day. It sounded very good.

Zhou Qing Bai nodded.

He cherished his body and loved sports. He always played basketball and the likes three or four times.

The couple came into agreement. Then Zhou Qing Bai told her about Hu Zi and Zhang Mei Lian.

"What?" Lin Qing He's eyes popped out and hurriedly turned to ask Aunt Ma: "Auntie, what had happened?"

"I don't know what's going on. I saw them in the corridor this morning. Ask Hu Zi." Aunt Ma replied.

What kind of person was Zhang Mei Lian? She and her sister were weapons of mass destruction  It was diaster for such a woman to enter the family. It'll cause unrest in the house.

Lin Qing He had no hesitation. She immediately came to the men's clothing store to look for Hu Zi.

Hu Zi, this nephew. She sincerely wanted to nurture him. If he was stained by such a woman's hand, she would not hesitate to kick him back home.

"Hu Zi, come out with me." Lin Qing He arrived and saw two men picking clothes. She left it to Gang Zi and Ma Cheng Min.

Although Ma Cheng Min was currently at the supervisor level, he also had to help watch the store.

Hu Zi followed her out. He thought it was something else. Never thought that he would hear his aunt straightforwardly go to the point and directly asked, "Are you dating Zhang Mei Lian?"

Hu Zi was froze for a moment. His face immediately became straight and answered, "No such thing!"

Lin Qing He stared at him and said, "What's going on? Aunt Ma saw you and Zhang Mei Lian talking downstairs for a long time!"

Hu Zi understood the situation then and quickly explained: "Aunt, it's not what you think. I have nothing to do with Zhang Mei Lian."

"You aren't interested in her. Then she is interested in you?" Lin Qing He said casually.

She actually hit the bullseye. Hu Zi didn't say anything when he heard this.

Initially, Lin Qing He was just casually remarking. From his reaction, it didn't seem like he was interested in Zhang Mei Lian. So she wanted him to stay away from her.

But when she saw him like this, Lin Qing He didn't hold back and immediately pinched his ear: "You brat, tell me what's exactly going on!"

Although he was a nephew and was quite tall, Lin Qing He wasn't soft at all when she lectured him.

Hu Zi squirmed in pain and hurriedly cried: "Aunt, save me some face. Save me some face. So many people are watching."

Lin Qing He looked around. Only then, she let go of his ear, lowered her voice, and said: "Hurry up and explain. How far did you guys go? You brat, don't you know what kind of person she is? You dare to provoke her!"

"What's wrong with her?" Hu Zi asked with a daze.

Lin Qing He erupted: "You have lived at home for so long and you don't know what kind of things old Zhang's daughters are? She brought her dates home and let them stay overnight. There are more than one or two. Someone said she went to the hospital to abort a baby!"

Although she couldn't stand Zhang Mei Lian and Zhang Mei He, she didn't talk about their shortcoming outside as long as they knew to behave. But now, she didn't mind reminding this nephew who got his heart covered by lard!

Hu Zi was stunned. His eyes widened and his face displayed incredulous. There was this matter?

"You don't know?" Lin Qing He frowned when she saw his reaction.

Hu Zi shook his head: "How am I supposed to know these things?" 
God, this Zhang Mei Lian was rotten. What was she going to do? Was it because she thought he was a countryfolk and was easy to bully?

"I was saying why she was looking for me several times. I was puzzled. I'm that poor and have a rural household registration. How could she like me?" It dawned on Hu Zi.

Only then, Lin Qing He knew that he was completely unaware. She couldn't help but said: "She and her sister's reputation had been spread all over our area. You have lived at home for so long, you haven't heard about it?"

"No." Hu Zi felt aggrieved. He really didn't know.

Lin Qing He was also helpless. However, it wasn't difficult to understand. Who would tell these things to a young man?

"Aunt Ma and the others are all clear. She saw it this morning and told your uncle straight away. Your uncle then told me. If you didn't know before, then it's fine. Now that you know, stay away from her. Understand?" Lin Qing He warmed up her tone.

She could almost piece it together. Putting it in another way, she had played enough and wanted to find an honest person to take care of her.

Hu Zi had a rural household registration and his salary wasn't low. What's more, he got an uncle to watch out for him. As long as he put in the effort, he won't do badly.

In addition, Hu Zi attended night school. His academic qualifications were also improving. Have to say that this was a potential investment.

Although this potential investment appeared so-so right now, his future was bright.

This woman, Zhang Mei Lian had set her eyes on this. That was why she wanted to lure Hu Zi.

"Aunt, I am not interested in her. My attitude is very obvious. But she still waited for me downstairs while you guys were away this morning. She wanted to go to the park. I clearly rejected her in the morning." Hu Zi clarified.

Right now, he was feeling a little scared, alright?

Who knew that Zhang Mei Lian appeared fine but she did so many things behind the scene.

It was no wonder that out of all the neighbors, his uncle and aunt only didn't greet them!

"At least you are sensible and didn't learn from Xu Sheng Mei. Otherwise, you will suffer!" Lin Qing He amusedly scolded when she saw his frightened expression.

Then she looked at him up and down and remarked, "First it was Zhu Zhenzhen and then Zhang Mei Lian. I couldn't that you some charm, Nephew?"

"Don't say any more, Aunt. Each and every one of them. What kind of girls are they?" Hu Zi responded.

This city's path was deep. He wanted to go back to the countryside.

"Work hard. You're only 19 years old now. What's the rush? If there is a chance in the future, Aunt will introduce you to a good one." Lin Qing He comforted.

"I'll go back to the village to marry a wife." Hu Zi shook his head.

"Not all girls in the capital are like that. You just only met the bad ones. When you met the good ones, you will not say that. Alright, there's nothing else. Go back and serve the guests." Lin Qing He waved her hand.

She went back to the dumpling shop and complained to Aunt Ma that this old Zhang's daughter was rotten. She coaxed the clueless Hu Zi, so he can accept the baton.

"But don't tell anyone else, Auntie. In the end, this matter got bad effects." Lin Qing He said after complaining.

She couldn't be bothered with Zhang Mei Lian mainly to not affect Hu Zi.

  2. Que decepción. Ella dice que es muy pero está viendo novia para Da wa. Y creo que ella dijo que no se metería con quién se casarían.

    1. Ella dijo que no haría matrimonios arreglados para ellos. No que no se metería. Dijo claramente que si sus hijos eligen a una mujer que a ella no le gusta, se los diría. Pero si ellos insisten, entonces no se metería. Y presentar a una chica no es arreglar un matrimonio. La decisión final será siempre de sus hijos.

    2. I agree with Sandra. The anonymous reply above me, she isn’t just introducing someone, she’s already decided on the Weng family as in-laws for Da Wa.
      She also pushed Er Ni into accepting Wang Yuan, thinking he’s the best for her, even when Er Ni had valid reasons not to. It would have been better if these two were left alone with just some necessary advice and precautions. If they can work through their issues, then they can try it out and they would have had created a much more stable foundation to their relationship by then. Now Er Ni is being despised by her Wang Yuan’s mother and is being pressured into marriage and childbirth by Wang Yuan even though she clearly does not want to get married yet and still wants to focus on building herself for her future as she does not want to be a traditional housewife. Frankly, I think they don’t match after all but the novel will probably just make one of them change their principles and goals to accommodate the other, maybe Er Ni like how the novel did Xiao Mei dirty through Lin Qing He before.
      She was also thinking on (but thankfully not acting on it yet) introducing Si Ni to the Weng family’s eldest son just because she thinks the Weng family has a good family environment even though these two have never seen each other before, grew up in different circumstances, and have vastly different current social standing.
      Now she wants to introduce someone to Hu Zi even when Hu Zi has clearly stated he does not want to marry a girl from the capital even before he met these two snakes, but she thinks he’s just traumatized and will change his mind later on. Please, respect his wishes too. If he thinks he wants to return to the countryside to marry, let him. Anyway, Hu Zi still has a long way to go to improve himself and no one knows what might happen later, maybe he might meet the one and she could be a city girl or someone from the countryside.
      About Xiao Mei, I don’t want to bring up past things and Xiao Mei is clearly very happy now but… when Lin Qing He advised her to break it off with her previous suitor since he doesn’t sound promising, Lin Qing He was still good at it. She said her opinions but she still let Xiao Mei think about herself and the decision is up to her alone. However, when Xiao Mei clearly wanted to have only one baby while everyone else wanted her to have one more. Lin Qing He directly told her to just have one more. When Da Lin, bless him, wanted to have a daughter for a third child, Xiao Mei said she really didn’t want to but still Lin Qing He told her to just have it since she might not be able to in the future (family planning policy). For a woman who racked her brains trying not to get pregnant and who was immensely relieved and pleased that she’s already ligated, she sure is capable of giving some hypocritical advice. At least, Xiao Mei is happy but where was the career woman who strongly voiced her opinions? Now she’s even restricted on smoothly starting her career because of her young kids.
      Qing He should just go back to the woman who always said, I won’t meddle in your business as long as you don’t meddle in mine.

  3. I am disappointed in the MC. Firing off an accusation without understanding the whole picture, giving him shit for not knowing information she never bothered to tell him, and being so overbearing towards his romantic life. What happened to ‘I will just let my kids be’ attitude that she’s supposedly so proud of?

    1. I honestly didn't see which part she was firing off w/out understanding the situation? She confirmed first right? She asked straightforwardly "Are you dating Zhang Mei Lan?"
