Chapter 557. No saving for this daughter-con
Hu Zi sighed. It was no wonder Aunt told him to study. No matter what it was, as long as one was lacking in an area, they can learn.
He had learned a lot from the time when he watching the shops. Now the hawking business was getting better and better. This was because of the foundation laid by serving people in the past.
If not, letting him, a country boy, set up a stall? He didn't have the guts and the ability.
Business was about being social skills. This was what his aunt taught him. If people didn't do a good job as a person, then they were looking for trouble when they want to do business.
Hu Zi watched Xu Sheng Qiang's situation today and really wanted to say a few words. However, the other party didn't wish to talk with him, especially when seeing his business was so good and his side had no business.
Lin Qing He raised her eyebrows and spoke, "Is his business not as good as you?"
Xu Sheng Qiang had a temper. He hadn't learned how to be a decent person when he came to the capital. She wasn't optimistic about him setting up a stall like this.
Putting it more seriously, if he offended someone he shouldn't, then he was going to take a fall.
It can be regarded as a warm hospitality to him, but the dishes at his home were worse than what he usually ate. No need to mention how bad it was. All in all, it lacked bit oil content.
When sleeping at night, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai chatted about this: "Now I am pregnant with this one, I keep remembering the days in the countryside for some reason?"
But she wasn't a stepmother, she was a biological mother!
"That's impossible." Zhou Qing Bai bluntly shook his head.
Lin Qing He stared at him.
"The boys has grown up. We were still young when they were young. We can help no matter what. When Third comes out and wants to open a dumpling factory, we can support him because we are still young now. But once our daughter grow up, how old will we be? At that time, we don't have the ability to work at that time." Zhou Qing Bai flatly stated.
Lin Qing He glared at him.
"What should be given to them won't be shorted. However, I want to leave more for my daughter. They dare not have any opinions. Otherwise, I will break their dog leg and forget about having a penny!" Zhou Qing Bai declared.
Lin Qing He had only one thought. No saving for this daughter-con!
Hu Zi sighed. It was no wonder Aunt told him to study. No matter what it was, as long as one was lacking in an area, they can learn.

Putting it more seriously, if he offended someone he shouldn't, then he was going to take a fall.
Hu Zi didn’t find it anything to be proud of and said, “I was taught by you
and had went to school and opened my eyes. My uncle taught me to be polite
when doing business. No one on Sheng Qiang's side taught him. It’s normal if
it’s not as good as my side."
"This explanation is wrong. It's not that no one taught him. There are people wanting to teach. The problem is that whether he want to be taught." Lin Qing He responded.
Lin Qing He was pitted by Xu Sheng Mei before, so she never gave Xu Sheng Qiang any good attitude. But her Qing Bai was kind.
He also want to hope for the best for him and even sent him to study. And what did Xu Sheng Qiang do?
She won't mention the old history but the five fingers were still long and short. So if he wasn't promising, there was nothing to say.
It wasn't like they owe him.
After Lin Qing He finished speaking, she reminded Hu Zi: "Doing business is doing business. Don't get involved in the rest. If you want to say a few words, he may not want to listen to you. Just do your own thing, understand?"
"Listen to your aunt." Zhou Qing Bai opened his mouth.
Hu Zi nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Go and set the table." Lin Qing He ordered.
This year, she didn't hold back. The food cost had risen to ten yuan for everyone. Still, ten yuan wasn't really much. One definitely can't eat such a meal when they go out.
A plate of scrambled eggs, a plate of stewed pork belly with potatoes, fried pork slices with pickle veg, and two plates of cabbage. The rest was a pot of seaweed and pork ribs soup.
The staple food was mantou. White flour ones and cornmeal ones.
The corn buns were requested by Lin Qing He. She liked to eat whole grains since her pregnancy started.
Those who came to eat were Second, Third, Gang Zi, and Hu Zi. The others weren't present. Si Ni will get back to work in April. She was still helping with Zhou Er Ni's babies.
"I heard that this is how Uncle's family ate many years ago." During the meal, Gang Zi commented while biting the mantou and eating slices of meat and pickled veg.
"Exaggeration." Lin Qing He laughed.
"That's right. How could there be so many dishes back then." Zhou Gui Lai rolled his eyes.
"Isn't there? Yang Yang came over during the summer vacation and said so." Gang Zi said.
"There wasn't this many dishes. Just two or three dishes." Lin Qing He spoke.
At that time, she was still in the countryside. Zhou Qing Bai had to work in the field every day. She was unwilling to work, so she didn't earn work points. She had to keep up with the food, right?
So the amount of eggs and meat weren't much, but basically they can be eaten every day. After all, she brought so many supplies over.
Because of difference in norms, Lin Qing He was naturally unwilling to save that little money and make Zhou Qing Bai work all day without enough warm food to eat.
Even if she didn't make anything delicious, he didn't dare to have any opinions. Still, her conscience wouldn't let her do that.
"Yang Yang must have saw it occasionally and remembered. Our family had a lot of dishes during the New Year." Zhou Gui Lai still remembered.
In fact, when it comes to food at home, the eldest, Zhou Kai, had the clearest memory.
He still remembered that when he was in high school, he went to eat at the home of one of his good classmates. The conditions in his home were pretty good.
"This explanation is wrong. It's not that no one taught him. There are people wanting to teach. The problem is that whether he want to be taught." Lin Qing He responded.
Lin Qing He was pitted by Xu Sheng Mei before, so she never gave Xu Sheng Qiang any good attitude. But her Qing Bai was kind.

When sleeping at night, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai chatted about this: "Now I am pregnant with this one, I keep remembering the days in the countryside for some reason?"
She reached what age? Already reminiscing the bitter and sweet matters.
But there was nothing bitter before. She was profiting from reselling food. With the materials in the space, her life was lively and vivid.
Even now, she didn't know what's going on.
"Maybe because we are going to have our own children?" Zhou Qing Bai pondered for a long time and forced out such a sentence?
Lin Qing He almost jumped up and scolded, "What do you mean? You mean, the boys aren't my son?"
Zhou Qing Bai got a scare from her and quickly coaxed: "No. I didn't mean that."
Lin Qing He snorted: "I forgive you for not having that meaning!"
When she first arrived, it was undeniable that she wanted to raise them up and teach them not to harm their surrounding. Then her mission would be completed.
But people's hearts were made with flesh. The three children were all brought up by her. Wasn't saying this piercing heart?
"Be careful. Don't stretch." Zhou Qing Bai urged.
Lin Qing He gave him an eye-roll: "You haven't turned in the accounts for the past few months. How many shops have you bought?"
Zhou Qing Bai went to the cabinet and took all the land deeds. There were only two more land deeds and related documents. Lin Qing He was shocked when she saw the documents. My, my, the two land deeds were for factories?
"There's a lot of abandoned factory buildings. I went to inquire and see if they wanted to sell them. I bought them for 30,000 yuan each." Zhou Qing Bai explained.
Lin Qing He nodded and said, "Where's the money for this month?"
"I have booked two shops in excellent locations. One is worth 10,000 yuan. I plan to buy it at that time." Zhou Qing Bai told.
"I'm telling you beforehand. You're not allowed to mention to the boys that they don't have any share in the future. Including the one in my stomach. When we are old in the future, they will all be treated equally without any favoritism. You hear?" Lin Qing He looked at him as she stated.
It was no wonder that there was a saying that having a stepmother meant having a stepfather. Her man's heart was completely biased toward the one in her stomach.

Lmao. Just blatant bias
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHHAHA, at this point the three boys are just used to them being second in their dad's eyes when they were kids, but now they will be third AHAHHAHAHA
ReplyDeletethose 3 kiddos will be stepsons in the future. hihihi
ReplyDeleteHAHHAHA 1 daughter > 3 sons
ReplyDeleteIt’s kinda funny but I can’t help but feel like Qing Bai is such a huge failure as a father. With his bias, no wonder he was destined to have a dark end if it hadn’t been for the MC 😁😂
ReplyDeleteExactly! Huge failure. I do understand his point a little but the conclusion doesn't add up. Giving some more because of this reason is oke, because it is kind of true. But his intend isn't given some more, it's giving 90% to daughter and the remaining to share for the sons. (If not just 100%) That's not even funny anymore when you think about it. I like him but this side irks me a lot. It's like in the beginning we still got to see and feel that he truly cares about the sons. But at some point it just vanished. Like dude, are you not loving them anymore since you don't think it's your "true children with the one you loved. That's just messed up
DeleteHahaha, Qing Haiti. There is no hope for you
ReplyDeleteas funny as this scenario is, still Lin Qing he should be followed, fair is fair after all.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chapter.
ReplyDeleteyeah, no. i was indifferent to zqb but now, i don't like him. i don't hate him but yeah, i can't with this man.
ReplyDeleteglad lqh fought for her sons. this may be depicted as a funny quirk but nah, D minus for this papa.
Happy for qb but I hate his bias.
ReplyDeleteSo, XSQ really goes back to his street stall? Whatever happened to his shop? According to the stereotype script for a villainess such as ZMH, I can only predict a wreak.
ReplyDeleteBtw, I really hope LQH can win the fight for fairness for the sons. 🥲😅
Second time reading and honestly, even San Wa who went into business didn't necessarily need their properties. Their sons careers were solid. I especially liked how Er Wa paved his own career without even disclosing they are rich and well connected. They all thought he was a poor boy 😂
ReplyDeleteTrue. Some of the readers mentioned that the dad is too biased but as someone who has read this story twice already, I know that when you compare the foundation that the kids received to others, they already won on the starting line. Dad thinks that he won't be there to accompany his daughter when she is as old as ZK. After all it is a late pregnancy. All three of his sons are already on a well established path and the care they received from LQH means they will definitely succeed in life even without his assets. And last of all I want to say that no matter what, LQH won't allow him to be too unbiased. Besides, they both worked very hard for those assets. Reselling may sound simple but the effort, energy and time they put in to slowly accumulate their fortune means he has the right to decide who he wants to give it to. I mean if I ever work super hard and make a fortune I think no one should judge me for who I want to leave it to.
DeleteI get that some readers have opinions, but hating a particular character for more than 550 chapters is silly at this point. I am super thrilled that an author can actually write a character is is so endearing while also filled with flaws. If he was a perfect Male Lead that would just be wish fulfilment.
Ugh! Can I transmigrate and be his daughter? 😉
ReplyDeleteI had thought XSQ's business was quite successful previously since he can make hundreds yuan each time.
