BTTS 445




 Chapter 445. Good affection


Lin Xiu became happy when her third aunt said this.

Lin Qing He accepted the water handed over by Third Sister-in-law Lin and said, "You guys work away. Don't worry about me. I can just talk to Ah Xiu and the others."

Third Brother Lin and Third Sister-in-law Lin were really busy at this moment. At this time, there were people coming and going to the shop, because this was the time for grocery shopping.

There were two peak times. One in the morning and the other in the evening. Of course, during the rest of the day, there was some business.

Lin Qing He watched the people coming and going. Originally, there were two baskets of eggs. A lot was gone in a moment. She knew that the business was extremely good.

When people left, Third Brother Lin spoke, "Sister, you and Brother-in-law must eat here tonight. Let's eat in our place."

"I promised my third sister-in-law that we will eat at her side later. I heard you bought a house with a yard?" Lin Qing He jollily asked.

"Well, I bought it. It's the place I mentioned before." Third Brother Lin smilingly responded.

He was different from Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law. He really didn’t plan to go back to the village anymore. He even thought about spending some money to move his family’s household registration to the city once everything is stable.

So even when the property was eighteen hundred and had to repair by himself, Third Brother Lin gritted his teeth and spent the money.

It wasn't a small sum and was spent all at once.

Especially for the rear renovation. It cost an extra 500 yuan to make their property look completely new.

In short, every time Third Brother Lin return to that house, he felt that his effort was absolutely worth it.

From now on, this was his own home. Even for the New Year, Third Brother Lin had no plans to go back.

There was always a pile of trouble stacking up. Really a pile. Not a joke.

Now that everyone knew he was making money, his parents sighed in front of him year after year. Also, his two elder brothers both looked at him with condemning gazes.

Eyes filled with accusations. As if saying he had become successful and didn't pull them, his elder brothers in.

Third Brother Lin wasn't so selfish. He wanted to help, but how can he help?

Once he opened his mouth, they want him to pay for the shop. And everything else would be gathered from his side in the future.

Was calling brothers to do business? This was making trouble for himself. Third Brother Lin wasn't that stupid. Even though he was soft-hearted, his wife wasn't.

For example, when their family went back to celebrate the New Year last year, they didn't have a good celebration.

His eldest brother and second brother both came to visit. Openly and secretly, they came to inquire about business matters. This was fine. But not a few sentences later, they wanted to borrow money from him.

Third Brother Lin had an unpleasant New Year's Eve, especially when they came to borrow money and said they were going to open a shop or something. Simply treating him as a fool.

His parents also caused non-stop trouble. At this age, they didn't know how to make people not worry.

As the youngest son, he can give them ten yuan a month, which was definitely a lot. But these two elderly was on his elder brothers' side during the New Year.

It was impossible to say it didn't chill his heart.

Still, he was their son. So he would support them and send money back every month. Any more, he wasn't willing to give more to him.

After all, there were still his two elder brothers. He was filial. In the whole village, no one would criticize him. Only praise him.

Let's not talk about this. Life was going very smoothly. Business was also very good. With the exception of this year's heavy rain, which caused a temporary panic. He had hoarded a lot of food for his family at the first moment. Currently, they hadn't finished eating it. So, there was no worry.

"You guys do your business. Ah Xiu, bring Third Aunt over to see." Lin Qing He merrily spoke.

The house wasn't far away. It took three minutes to get there from the shop. It was very close,  What's more, it wasn't small and by the roadside.

Lin Qing He circled around once and then returned with her niece.

"This house is goo. You will never regret buying it." Lin Qing He said.

"Altogether, it cost about two thousand three hundred yuan ." Third Brother Lin smilingly stated.

"That's not much. It's worth it." Lin Qing He responded.

While talking, Zhou Qing Bai and Third Brother came over on the motorcycle.

"Bought one too?" Third Brother Lin said with a smile.

"That's right. You have it. And I really can't keep riding that bike." Third Brother jollily responded

His relationship with Third Brother Lin was very good. After all, the relationship between relatives existed. On top of that, they can from the same area. They should take care of each other.

Especially since Third Brother Lin was a righteous person. He had explored the channels for fish and duck egg supplies. He generously told Third Brother and brought him over to pick up the goods together.

Of course, he and Third Brother were in a tacit agreement. The prices they offered were the same. Can't have one give higher price than the other. It won't be easy to operate in and outside the village then. Of course, some deviations were inevitable.

"It should have been bought long ago. With this motorcycle, a lot more things can be transported." Third Brother Lin grinned.

The motorcycle that his sister bought back for him was more than 700, and the fuel expense wasn't cheap. It took him less than a month, almost 20 days or so, to earn back the motorcycle's cost.

It can be seen how much profit had increased after the addition of a motorcycle.

Third Brother continued driving around. Men always liked things like vehicles very much. Before departing, he didn't forget to remind Lin Qing He that Third Sister-in-law had already killed the chicken and they got to go over go.

"How is this year?" Zhou Qing Bai asked Third Brother Lin.

"Brother-in-law, don't worry. Everything is fine." Third Brother Lin nodded.

"That's good. Work hard. In the future, come to the capital to play." Zhou Qing Bai said.

"Brother-in-law, Sister, how about sleeping at our place for one night tonight, and then go back to the village tomorrow? It'll be pretty late when you finish eating." Third Brother Lin suggested.

"Is there room over there?" Lin Qing He asked.

"Yes, there is one guest room. No one sleeps in it." Third Brother Lin nodded.

"OK then. We will go over to your place after we finish eating." Lin Qing He nodded.

"You should eat at our home tonight," said Third Sister-in-law Lin.

"It's not a big problem. Wherever we eat, it's still eating." Lin Qing He replied with a smile.

When she returned to her hometown, there's always people rushed to entertain her. That was actually very comforting. It showed that she hadn't failed as a person.

There was always someone who gets along with her.

Checking the time, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai started to head over to Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law's side.

Third Sister-in-law Lin remarked, "Third Sister and Third Brother-in-law have a very good relationship." 
She had never seen a couple that was as affectionate as them.

"No need to be envious of Sister and Brother-in-law. Our relationship isn't bad either." Third Brother Lin said.

    1. These 3 families are adorable. I love that Brother Lin treats all his daughters preciously, they’ll be so grateful in the future when it’s more obvious that gender differences become less apparent and they have the education that many other countryside girls didn’t get ❤️

      Thank you for the chapter 🥰
