BTTS 474




 Chapter 474. Two guys fighting over a girl


It will take a lot of time for the goods to be delivered, so it was necessary to book in advance.

She planned to see if there were any of these in Dalian next summer. If there was, it will be more closer. And the supply channel won't be only one.

But this was next year's matter. Right now, they will temporarily order it at the big seafood factory in the south.

It was the same amount of goods ordered last time. The boss praised on the phone that the economy here was good. So many goods was sold so quickly.

Lin Qing He laughed: "The price I set is low. Basically, didn't make much money. So Boss, you have to lower it for me. A customer like me isn't a normal customer."

"That goes without saying. The price given to you is the lowest. I will increase the price for others, but drop it for you. What's more, I will get someone to deliver it to you. These are all benefits." The seafood boss wasn't someone easy to deal with and responded like this.

Lin Qing He grinned. She didn't expect the other party to lower the price for her. It was just all-talk.

The time was agreed and then they hung up.

Lin Qing He also went home after class. She saw Zhou San Ni at the shop.

Seeing Lin Qing He's return, Zhou San Ni called with joy: " Fourth Aunt."

"It's rare to come here. Have lunch here?" Lin Qing He asked.

"No need. At this moment, it is relatively idle, so I came over to borrow two books from Er Ni. When I'm at the shop, I'll get Ai Guo teach me to read." Zhou San Ni shyly said.

The granddaughters of old Zhou family had studied. Like Zhou Da Ni, Zhou Er Ni, and Zhou Wu Ni. But these were the daughters of First Branch and Third Branch. Second Branch didn't get much study.

Not only did the girls not study much, even the son, Zhou Xia didn't reach a high level of education.

Compared with the other two branch, Second Branch obviously didn't give much priority to education.

Still, Zhou San Ni knew some words.

This was learned with Zhou Da Ni and Zhou Er Ni when they were young. At that time, they went to school. Zhou San Ni also wanted to go, but how could her mother possibly agree?

She had a good relationship with Da Ni and Er Ni. They had taught her when they came back from from class. That's why she knew some words, but not a lot.

But after coming here, Zhou San Ni felt that knowledge was very important. Even if she can't request to go to the night school or something like Er Ni and the others, she still wanted to recognize more words.

Li Ai Guo had studied for a few years and knew more characters than her. So he can naturally teach her more words.

Lin Qing He was very moved when she heard what she said and said: "If you want to study, wait until you learn more words and learn more math. Then you can go to night school with Si Ni."

"Night school?" Zhou Sa Ni was surprised and immediately shook her head: "No. I just need to learn words. It costs a lot of money to go to night school."

"Fourth Aunt allow our old Zhou Family that came here to work a chance to enter night school. I will pay the tuition. Of course, if you don’t want to go, then I won’t force it. During this period, Si Ni is  recognizing words as well as learning arithmetic. Once it reach a certain level, I would send her there. If you want, you'll enter together. Including you or excluding you, it won't make much difference." Lin Qing He said.

If Zhou San Ni was willing to go to night school, she wouldn't disapprove.

As for Li Ai Guo, forget it. He'll stay in the shop and watch it. This year there will be a severe crackdown. Although the law and order wasn't bad now, it wasn't great either. Shops weren't cheap, so someone had to guard it.

Zhou San Ni noticed her fourth aunt was serious. It went without saying she was ecstatic. The night school wasn't too far away from her. It took about 30 minutes walk!

Zhou San Ni stayed for a meal at noon and went back after eating.

Zhou Er Ni mentioned: "Fourth Aunt, the last time I visited grandmother, grandmother was asking, why San Ni isn't pregnant yet?"

Lin Qing He responded: "Next time your grandmother ask again, you can answer her. Say that the two of them don't want to have children so early. They are still young, so don't worry."

Old people liked to catch young people and talk about these things endlessly. It seemed that if one haven't been pregnant for half a year, people will look strangely at them. If one haven't been pregnant for a year, they assume there's a problem and have to go to the hospital.

San Ni was already taking medicine to treat it. So don't put pressure on her. The doctor said it was no problem for young women. Just pay attention to rest and don't exhaust themselves was enough. It will gradually return to normal.

Hu Zi learned to drive in half a month. When he came back, he had lost weight. However, he appeared to become more confident.

One had to know, in this era, to be able to drive was also a technical skill.

Gang Zi was especially envious: "Aunt, when can I go learn?"

"Bring your coursework over and let me have a look." Lin Qing He said.

Gang Zi's complexion turned bitter. What he feared most was that his aunt checking his homework. Each time, he received a good earful.

What he feared most was studying. He did worked very hard, but his aunt's standard was a little bit high.

"Your brother had reached my requirements. Don't make excuses. Work harder, otherwise you won't be able to graduate early and still have to learn." Lin Qing He said.

Zhou Er Ni and Hu Zi both worked very hard and grasped it well, so they were able to graduate early. Otherwise. they would have to continue study for another year and a half.

Gang Zi sighed.

"What are you sighing? We haven't sighed after studying so many years. How long have you been studying? And the last time I went to Grandmother's side, I ran into Sister Sheng Mei. I heard her tell Grandmother that Xu Sheng Qiang is putting in effort. Don't get beaten by him." Zhou Gui Lai said.

"What putting in effort. I haven't seen anyone running faster than him after class." Gang Zi responded.

"Didn't cause trouble?" Lin Qing He said coolly.

It was her Qing Bai who introduced him. So she have to ask about it.

Gang Zi said: "Don't think so."

Not sure if Lin Qing He's mouth was jinxed. Just a few days after she asked, Xu Sheng Qiang really stirred trouble.

He had a fight with another young man at night school.

"Fight? Why did he fight?" Lin Qing He frowned when she heard about it.

"For a girl. I heard the two guys were fighting over a girl. The girl got together with him. However, with a turn of a head, she broke up with him. He wasn't happy, so he followed her, and finally finds out she went to night school with another guy. He went up and beat the guy up." Gang Zi had enquired around at that side and said in one breath.

"Two guys fighting over a girl?" Zhou Gui Lai's mouth twitched: "That girl must be breathtakingly beautiful? Is she more beautiful than Feng Cheng Cheng?"

Feng Cheng Cheng was the heroine in the '80s version of The Bund. That actress also acted in The Legend of White Snake. Zhou Gui Lai felt that she was particularly beautiful.

      1. The sister at least knows when to move and when to lay low. Her brother though, is a massive waste of space...

    3. San Ni, the dear sweet girl. It's all up from here now that you've left your useless family unit. I'm kind of scared she gets pregnant too early and it interrupts her learning, but her husband isn't young, he surely wants a child ASAP even though he's been great to her.

    4. Wait, a severe crackdown in this year? So they have to guard the shops? What kind of crackdown? It's not related to the gov (the past Red Army), is it? I don't think LQH wouldn't say anything to Third Brother and Third Brother Lin if it's really a severe crackdown related to the gov... 🤨
