 Chapter 527. Redundancy problem

Since she was a child, Zhou Liu Ni has looked down on her sister. She only knew silently work away. Even if given three strike, she won't make a fart. Not someone capable. She knew fourth branch treated her well and she won't fight for anything.

She had once told her that Er Ni and Xu Sheng Mei could go, then she could go too.

But what did she say? Said that Fourth Aunt didn't ask her to go.

Hadn't ask you, then you can fight for a chance to go. Didn't she also not ask Xu Sheng Mei? Xu Sheng Mei still went there. What's more, married a wealthy man from the capital and became a young Madame.

Zhou Liu Ni originally wanted her to be ambitious. That way she can bring her over. Since she wasn't, she didn't hold any hope.

Later, she married a lame man. Zhou Liu Ni didn't want to associate with her. Who knew she could still move to the capital.

Why can a fool like San Ni be able to go the capital!

But not only did she go, she also had a good job. Now she was settling down there.

Zhou Liu Ni felt something was blocking her chest

Now she was married. But kind of life was she living? Stuck in poverty and a lot of things cropping up. She just had a fight with her sister-in-law yesterday.

"If she dares to deny her parents, see if I won't break her leg!" Second Sister-in-law declared

"How are you going to break? Go to the capital to break?" Zhou Liu Ni ridiculed.

Second Sister-in-law got her mouth blocked. Then she started lecturing her: "Don't say it like you are so capable. If you are so capable, would you live so badly there!"

She originally thought this daughter was a clever one. Who knew she was so stupid that she got pregnant with someone before marriage. That family was very poor. A little poorer than her family. Can't hold any hope.

Initially, she thought that with the cleverness of this daughter, she should be able to find a better one. However, she ended up such a family.

Sure enough, daughters were all money-wasting thing Can't count on any of them.

Lin Qing He didn't know her call to announce the good news would cause second branch to come up with so many thoughts.

However, Lin Qing He didn't plan to interfere with San Ni's relationship with her family.

In the end, she never ate her maternal family's rice for free when she was at her maternal home. The younger siblings didn't do as much work as her. When she married, 400 yuan was given. Now she was married, she didn’t want to contact her maternal family. Who can blame her? 

Also, it wasn't like her maternal family had no son.

People cannot be too selfish in this life, but they also can't be too selfless. When the other party makes you unhappy or depress, stay away. This was a smart person's approach.

Lin Qing He visited Zhou San Ni. Her confinement was managed well. After giving birth, Zhou San Ni lost weight.

On the contrary, the chubby son nursed into a strong and adorable state.

It was a month older than the Zhou Er Ni's twins. Still, they were all well nurtured. Lin Qing He noticed the environment's cleanliness and didn't intervene about it.

Lin Qing He rode back on the bicycle with a scarf on. She came to the dumpling shop. Now it was the end of November and the weather was really cold.

"Where did you go?" Zhou Qing Bai said.

"Went to see San Ni." Lin Qing He answered.

Zhou Qing Bai scooped her a bowl of mutton soup to drink and warm up her body. Lin Qing He sighed as she drank the soup, "After drinking so many things, the mutton soup warm the body the best."

Zhou Qing Bai asked: "Have a piece of grilled meat?"

"No thanks. Drinking some soup is enough." Lin Qing He replied.

Zhou Qing Bai said while making dumplings: "How's San Ni?"

"Very good. The baby is cared by her until nice and plump." Lin Qing He told. Zhou San Ni's side can handle it as was only one. While Zhou Er Ni's head was big.

It was wonderful to have twins. But once they stir up, it really made one want to cry together.

Fortunately, Zhou Si Ni was was helping out with the postnatal confinement this month. So she wasn't overwhelmed. Now that the cold winter was coming, the shops had entered the off-peak season. It was why Zhou Si Ni had time to help all the time.

Lin Qing He intended to let her continue to help over there until next year. Once Zhou Er Ni has adapted to taking care of her two children, Zhou Si Ni can come back.

In fact, Wang Yuan was very talented as a househusband. It was the end of the year and his garment factory was busy.

Zhou Xiao Mei has no time to go there. After all, her children need the help of Father Zhou and Mother Zhou. So they can only rely on Zhou Si Ni.

Hiring a nanny was a good option, but they currently want Zhou Si Ni to help out. Wang Yuan said, he'll he pay Zhou Si Ni’s salary. So what more can be said.

"It's getting colder day by day. I want to find Sister Weng and go to the hot springs tomorrow." Lin Qing He brought up.

When it was cold, she wanted to go to the hot springs. Especially when there was a newly opened hot spring. It wasn't that far. If they drove, they will be there in half an hour.

"Ask Second and Third, if they have any classes tomorrow." Zhou Qing Bai wanted to go with his wife and responded.

Zhou Gui Lai had a full day of classes tomorrow. Zhou Xuan had three classes. He'll attend the two classes in the morning, but not the afternoon one. His dad left the dumpling shop to him.

Lin Qing He drove. Mother Weng sat in the front passenger seat. As for Zhou Qing Bai and Father Weng, they sat on the cargo bed.

Lin Qing He pondered if it was the time to buy a car for the family? This truck that can pull goods was useable, but it was indeed inconvenient for traveling.

When they got here, the four of them had a soak together.

"Today's wintry weather is much colder than in previous years." Mother Weng remarked.

"I thought it was just me. It's extremely freezing." Lin Qing He nodded.

"Mei Jia talked to me on the phone a while ago and said that she would be back this year. Young Kai said that he would also be back." Mother Weng grinned.

"When the time comes, don't cook. Come over to our side to eat the New Year's Eve dinner together." Lin Qing He said.

Zhou Qing Bai was telling Father Weng about the current economic development.

Father Weng was an educated person. He was also the director of the factory. He stated "The salary will be raised next year."

"It's time to raise. The eggs and meat have risen by nearly half." Zhou Qing Bai said.

He was doing business and these supplies were all purchased by himself. There was a rise in the first half of the year, but not much. However in the second half of the year, everything was rising. The mutton and pork used for making dumplings had increased by one-third of the original price. Which was a lot.

If it stayed like this and the salary doesn't increase, how can one live?

"Old Weng, can your factory keep going?" Mother Weng asked him. Her factory had closed down. Right now, it seemed that other people were discussing the issue of acquisition.

"It can." Father Weng answered calmly.

Although the factory was so-so, it can keep going.

Mother Weng turned to Lin Qing He: “I want to open a shop by myself. Can't rely on employment as sudden redundancies happens. I think it’s the same in many other factories.”

Lin Qing He knew. Right now wasn't a big deal. The real layoffs started in the 1990s. That was true job loss period.

"If you are interested, it's a good idea to open a shop by yourself." Lin Qing He had a good relationship with her and urged.
