BTTS 580




 Chapter 580. Sun rising from the west


This Zhou family was from the capital's side. It looked like the family was in good condition.

If their son was good... Her daughter reached the right age. The capital city was also alright. Not a small place.

Guo Miao Jun took in her mom's reaction, he couldn't help but chuckle. Then she went shopping for groceries in a very good mood.

Zhou Xuan was clueless about this. He was boxing in the yard. This was what his eldest brother taught him and Third after he came back.

It was all kind of practical punches. Since they were young, the brothers had often fought and gained a lot of experience. Since learning this boxing method, they won't suffer in a fight.

When Jiang Geng came, he saw his second brother boxing. He immediately looked on enviously and said, "Second Brother, teach me."

"Come." Zhou Xuan nodded and then guided him. Halfway through the practice, Zhou Qing Bai drove back from outside.

He had brought in a lot of seafood. Jiang Geng saw and quickly said, "Godfather, my mom said she will buy the groceries for tonight. Don't buy. Don't buy a double portion, otherwise it won't be fresh."

"Alright." Zhou Qing Bai nodded. It was fine to put these seafood into the refrigerator.

He cooked a pork rib congee, fried a tomato and egg, and blanched a large plate of sea prawns. Then he poured some soy sauce as the dip. Then he cooked a hairtail with a lot of ginger to remove the fishy smell.

That was it for breakfast. The sea prawn had the largest quantity.

Once Zhou Qing Bai finished all these, he went to wake Lin Qing He. Lin Qing He's belly was getting bigger and bigger every day. She also became more sleepy-head each day. Quite languid.

After she got up and washed up, she called the two people who were practicing boxing to come over to eat.

"Mom, eat more prawns to supplement calcium." Zhou Xuan peeled the prawns for his mom and urged.

Zhou Qing Bai was also peeling for her, Lin Qing He enjoyed her son and her man's service. Afterward, she spoke, "You guys eat. I will peel it myself."

Sea prawns were naturally delicious. It wasn't just sea prawns, but octopus meat too. These were good sources of nutrition. Of course, tomatoes and eggs were also consumed.

After eating, Zhou Xuan tidied up the table. Once done, he went out with Jiang Geng.

"Second Brother, let's go to Huangtang for a walk today. Last time I went with Third Brother, it had changed a lot since I last went. When the time come, I will take a few more photos of you." Jiang Geng spoke.

"Okay." Zhou Xuan brought the camera out of the house today. He must take photos as a souvenir now he came.

The two of them were walking and had not noticed Mother Guo, who was snapping the cowpeas at the door. She had listened to what her daughter said. So, she had been waiting outside the door.

She didn't expect that she would run into him. She saw the young man just now. Jiang Geng called him Second Brother. This should be Zhou Family's second son. Last time, she heard him call another Third Brother.

However, this lad looked quite handsome. Tall and got an aura. At first glance, he looked like someone with a high education level!

So Mother Guo hurriedly called her daughter. Guo Miao Jun came out with a basin of water and spoke, "Mom, what's the matter?"

"I saw him just now." Mother Guo whispered.

Guo Miao Jun immediately understood what her mom meant. Her face turned red. Mother Guo smilingly said, "Not a bad eyesight."

She also felt he was pretty good.

"Mom, don't talk nonsense. Don't know if he can fancy me." Guo Miao Jun bowed her head.

"How can he not? We are from Hai City. Not inferior to those from the capital. What's more, you are diligent and family-oriented. One will be blessed to marry you back." Mother Guo declared.

She had her consideration. If her daughter and Zhou Family’s son successful paired up, won't this house be vacated when Zhou Family would go back to the capital in the future. 

If it’s vacant, it’s idly left alone, right? Can't her family move over? That way, they don’t have to spend a penny.

Guo Miao Jun's face blushed slightly. Seeing Zhou Xuan, she really didn't dare to talk to him as she was afraid that he wouldn't fancy her.

"You have to fight. Talk to him more often. No such young man would dislike a young lady like you." Mother Guo persuaded.

Guo Miao Jun nodded with flushed face.

And because of having this plan, Mother Guo smilingly greeted Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai when they were on their walk.

Lin Qing He had a stomach full of puzzlement but didn't say anything. Just nodded and gave an response. That was all.

The conflicts within old Guo Family still existed. After all, the family hadn't split yet. Only when they separate off, would it be considered the end. Right now, they probably still thinking about her house.

"What's her intention?" Lin Qing He said to Zhou Qing Bai when they were far away.

Really. They passed by in the past, she either act like she didn't see them or the worst, rolling her eyes. Today, the sun rose from the west. She had greeted them.

"Don't bother with her." Zhou Qing Bai said indifferently.

He took his wife for a walk and came over to the commercial street. This was a new street with many shops.

At this moment, it was still working hour. There will be more people at night. Now was better, suitable for walking.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai strolled around and bought two silk scarves while they were at it. Lin Qing He liked both. Then they walked back slowly.

This time on the way back, they met Guo Miao Jun. When Guo Miao Jun saw the two of them, she called them uncle and aunt with red face.

Lin Qing He found it weird. What was wrong with old Guo Family?

Zhou Qing Bai drove the car out. Old Madam Jiang came over with the shoe soles to sew on.

Lin Qing He said, "Auntie, did old Guo Family find a house?"

"What house?" Old Madam Jiang was befuddled.

"The one to live in. They have a very cold relationship with my family. However, they greeted us with smiles today. Didn't they find a house?" Lin Qing He told.

"I haven't heard." Old Madam Jiang shook her head and replied, "Don't take it seriously. We're all ordinary people. Can't create any waves."

Lin Qing He smiled: "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Was good. Slept throughout the night until dawn. Old now, can't withstand all these activities." Old Madam Jiang grinned.

"When it gets cold, go over next time. It's quite unbearable because it's very hot over there now." Lin Qing He said.

Only three days. The traffic at this moment wasn't as good as that of later generations. So there were a few sights to walk around.

Old Madam Jiang merrily said, "Then go there again next year in spring?"

"You can also go in autumn to see scented mountains and maple leaf." Lin Qing He responded.

"I can't take the toil this year. Will go again next year." Old Madam Jiang smiled.

Lin Qing He nodded. Old Madam Jiang continued: "Out of your three sons, the eldest is the only one I haven't seen now."

"He is busy. I can see it two or three times at the end of the year. Really miss him." Lin Qing He replied.

    4. At least the girl is still sensible, she knows that 2nd need to fancy her for their plan to work. But their families have a feud so it's impossible.

    5. So far the girl doesn't seem like a bad person. The parents are the bad ones. We'll see what happens in the future.

      1. Yep. That scheme of hers (the mother's)... Smh. It's totally fine if an in-law happily give their daughter in-law a house, they let her to do as her please with the house, then she let her maternal family live there. But, to purposely scheme to get the Zhou's house using that method at this point..., Tsk tsk tsk. Idk what I should call it. Too desperate (because they can't afford the house), too much of a miser, too greedy and delusional, or what?
