BTTS 567




 Chapter 567. Can't have boys favoritism thoughts


Zhou Xia and Zhou Xuan were born in the same year. They were both the same age.

This year, they were both nineteen but he was about to get married.

Lin Qing He called back to chat with Eldest Sister-in-law. Only then did she knew this.

"This made Second's wife ecstatic. I haven't seen her act so proud for many years. It's just this daughter-in-law isn't easy to serve." Eldest Sister-in-law said on the phone.

Eldest Sister-in-law had a good temper. She wasn't someone who would make things difficult for her daughter-in-law. Although she won't do that, she won't lower herself onto the floor to her daughter-in-law's boot.

Zhou Xia’s girlfriend was called Ma Miao Miao. She had been there once before. Eldest Sister-in-law thought the relationship was going to disintegrate. After all, that attitude was really bad.

Unexpectedly, they continued dating. This year, the betrothal gift was given and she was going to enter the door.

Eldest Sister-in-law recalled Second Sister-in-law's behavior. She really can't watch it: "Almost treating her like an ancestor."

"As long as she is happy to." Lin Qing He merrily replied.

"I don't understand what she's aiming for. Aiming to have a daughter-in-law from the city? Can she be reliable in the future?" Eldest Sister-in-law expressed her concern of the actual situation.

She was a rural woman who was born and raised in the countryside.  She pursued the principle of raising son to defend against old-age.

If the son married such a daughter-in-law, it was fine when they are still young. What about when they are old in the future? Can they rely on them?

"There is one at home," Lin Qing He pointed out.

"Can't count on him. He's incomparable with his brother. Completely like his mother." Eldest Sister-in-law said before changing the subject: "Let's not talk about this. How are you and Fourth Brother doing?"

"How old are we? Can we treat ourselves badly? Since Xia Xia getting married, Eldest Sister-in-law, give twenty yuan in red envelopes to him for me." Lin Qing He said.

"Okay." Eldest Sister-in-law nodded.

It was only right to. The amount of money to give was any. She intended to give twenty.

As for whether Zhou Xia's wife was good or not, they will just to talk about it privately. There was no get involved. After all, they weren't going to live them. It was overboard to interfere so much.

Lin Qing He hung up the phone and came back to tell Zhou Qing Bai about it.

Zhou Qing Bai stated: "He's nineteen, can get married." 

In rural areas, majority got married at the age of eighteen. There were even at seventeen.

Lin Qing He gave him an eye-roll. She felt slightly fortunate: "Fortunately, our family doesn't want to do that so fast." Otherwise, it would be a bit embarrassing.

The mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law supporting their stomachs together. Can't even watch this matter.

Zhou Qing Bai was in the middle of killing a chicken. He understood what his wife meant and jollily said: "Fry chicken tonight? And then simmer a chicken soup?"

"All right." Lin Qing He nodded.

Zhou Qing Bai fried chicken meat. Then picked the backyard's green pepper and stir-fried it. Afterward, the chicken soup was stewed. That was it.

After eating, Lin Qing He turned on the TV and watched it. Old Madam Jiang came to visit. Once again, she saw Zhou Qing Bai doing the dishes and pots. She emotionally remarked to Lin Qing He: "It's the first time I see a man like Young Zhou in my life. You are really blessed."

Lin Qing He said: "It's just a little housework. Auntie, you are saying it like it's a major matter."

"My family's old man is someone who doesn't help straighten the fallen soy sauce. Forget about asking him to do housework." Old Madam Jiang commented.

Lin Qing He poured water for her and said, "I have been working for half of my life, so he got to let me relax and enjoy."

Old Madam Jiang laughed. After a while, old Mister Jiang also came over. The two of them didn't have a TV. Lin Qing He bought a color TV here, so he came over to watch it.

What's more, they can chat with Zhou Qing Bai. Lin Qing He grabbed a book and read it.



Old Madam Jiang merrily conversed with Zhou Qing Bai. Old Mister Jiang glanced occasionally over and saw that Lin Qing He was reading all English. He was surprised: "Young Zhou's wife, this is an English book?"

"En." Lin Qing He nodded.

"English book? Can you understand it?" Old Madam Jiang was also surprised.

"I teach English." Lin Qing He told.

Old Mister Jiang and Old Madam Jiang was shocked this time: "Are you a teacher?"

Lin Qing He smilingly responded, "I came here to nurture fetus."

Old Mister Jiang and old Madam Jiang was stunned once again. Then their gaze went to her belly. It wasn't obvious yet. Still, it can be seen that Lin Qing He's complexion was very good.

Lin Qing He didn't think there was any wrong in telling. After all, they'll know later. She didn't look pregnant now. But when she looked at it while taking a bath, her belly had started to bulge out.



"Why did you come here when you are pregnant?" Old Mister asked in puzzlement.

"Do you need to ask?" Old Madam Jiang gave him an eye-roll.

"Over-birth?" Old Mister Jiang was taken aback. Then he disapproved: "Wanting to have a son? Can't  have this boy favoritism thoughts."

Lin Qing He laughed: "Uncle, you said it reverse. Others prefer boys to girls. Our family favor girls over boys."

After living here for so long, they knew who kind of people Jiang Family's old couple were. So naturally they don't mind talking about it.

Even when they go to the capital in the future, they can stay in contact.

"There are three sons in the capital. The eldest had graduated from university for a few years." Lin Qing He told.



"All three are sons?" Old Mister Jiang exclaimed.

"Yes. He wants a girl, so can only put in effort. Otherwise, why would he be willing to be my cow or horse. It's just hard on me. I have resigned for his daughter dream." Lin Qing He said.

Old Mister Jiang understood now.

Aunt Jiang smiled and said, "That's pretty good. You're already at this age. Since you have it, it's fate. There's no logic in throwing away fate."

What she didn't say was that her daughter-in-law had over-birth with a daughter. There was a grandson in front. This daughter arrived later. She was born right when it began. Still, it was considered over-birth. They had the connections to get her on their household registration. Meaning there was no affect.

"That's the logic." Zhou Qing Bai agreed with old Madam Jiang's words.

Old Madam Jiang smilingly said, "Did Qing He teach junior high school or high school?"

"Does Aunt's grandchildren need English supplement lessons?" Lin Qing He asked when she heard these words.

"My grandson just happened to be a first year in high school this year. The other subjects are fine. Just his English is really bad and I can't find a better foreign language teacher." Old Madam Jiang meekly expanded: "But Qing He, you are pregnant now... "

"It's not a problem. When free, call him over. I can give make up lesson for an hour for him free of charge." Lin Qing He offered.

"If you are willing to teach him, it will definitely not be free. Have to charge money." Old Madam Jiang hurriedly responded.

"Auntie, you can bring me some more tomatoes. I don't plant tomatoes here. So drop the money matter. It doesn't take much effort to tutor a first year high school student." Lin Qing He said.

"Then you were teaching?" Old Madam Jiang looked at her curiously.

"University." Lin Qing He replied.

Old Mister Jiang and old Madam Jiang received a shock. They didn't expect Lin Qing He to teach foreign language to college students!



Then they looked at the book in her hand. Completely in English. No wonder she could understand it!

      3. Honestly my family doesn't play any favouritism All my siblings are treated the same, so does my cats, but all my cats have learned the art of pestering.

        Unlike me and my siblings where we rarely ask our parents to buy us something (all of us are introverted and rarely go out and our hobbies can easily be nurtured without any expensive equipment), my cats knows how to coax my parents to give them extra snack and foods.

        They'd sit around in front of the fridge and would cry out to my dad. One of our princess would sit in front of the bathroom asking for fresh water because she doesn't like the water outside or in the kitchen. The second youngest was found by ny brother without a mom so I was the one to feed the girl milk and she became a full indoor cat unlike the others. My mom and dad let her sleep on their bed and my mom doesn't spare a chance of playing and teasing her when she sleep in.

        In terms of feeding these cats have a better eating schedule than I do lol.
