BTTS 587




 Chapter 587. Old house on fire


However, it can't be blamed on Zhou Qing Bai, who made her advanced age pregnant woman. It was destiny. Cannot be avoided.

"Don't be afraid." Zhou Qing Bai soothed.

"Once the birth is over and pick us up, you can release the news about this car. See who wants it and sell it." Lin Qing He said.

"Why sell it?" Zhou Qing Bai asked in confusion.

"If you don't sell it, you'll drive it back? I heard Third say that there is a lot of chaos outside now." Lin Qing He responded.

Zhou Qing Bai felt helpless and looked at his wife, "Wife, have you forgotten how we brought our truck back to the capital?"

Lin Qing He froze. Then she gave her Qing Bai an awkward look. She was...once pregnant, silly for three years?

"Ke, Wife, would you like some black rice cake?" Zhou Qing Bai changed the subject.

Lin Qing He glanced at him with silent grudge and replied, "Give me one."

She channeled her grief and anger into her appetite. Afterward she ate three nonstop even though she said she'll have eat one. After eating, she slept.

Although she became stupid, Lin Qing He still tried her best to read. Persisting to not let her English fall back.

After all, the environment around them didn't have English-speakers. It was unlike the native language, Chinese. So, it must be practiced every day.

It had entered September. The originally sultry weather has really improved a bit, at least it wasn't so sultry and hot.

In mid-September, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Qing He called their hometown and chatted with Eldest Sister-in-law.

"That girl Liu Ni has completely lost the face of our old Zhou family." Eldest Sister-in-law didn't want to say this in front of Lin Qing He, but she couldn't help it.

"What's the matter?" Lin Qing He asked.

"I heard that she dived into the rice field with her (husband's) third uncle. It caused quite a stir." Eldest Sister-in-law told. It was truly the definition of depravity.

Lin Qing He was stunned: "This happened? They were caught on the spot?" Although Zhou Liu Ni was surnamed Zhou, she was basically removed in Lin Qing He's perspective. She was just listening to gossip.

"They weren't. It's what people said, otherwise the matter won't end." Eldest Sister-in-law said.

But this kind of matter wouldn't make a wave if there was no ripple. Can't be groundless rumors. If it didn't happen, people won't come out with nonsense and attach a name. Although she wasn't caught on the spot, it was still too embarrassing.

"What's the attitude of second branch?" Lin Qing He asked.

"Second Brother was infuriated. Second Sister-in-law went straight to beat Liu Ni," Eldest Sister-in-law answered.

"This was because she's afraid that Xia Xia's marriage will be implicated." Lin Qing He summed up in a single sentence.

"Yes ah. Originally Xia Xia's match wasn't very satisfied with this side. Seeing that a new house will be build this year and Xia Xia probably won't go home to live in the future, she is willing to marry. Now Second Sister-in-law cherishes her reputation. This kind of thing happens can ruin the reputation of the family, right?" Eldets Sister-in-law stated.

Thankfully, the family split early. If not, the other branches' reputation will be implicated as well. Now it was only second branch's was rotten.

"I said long time ago that if she don't govern and teach her well, something will happen sooner or later." Lin Qing He said, "What's the situation on the man's side?"

"There was a fight. The family split. As for the rest, nothing." Eldest Sister-in-law replied.

Lin Qing He stopped talking about this and asked about Eldest Sister-in-law's raising ducks business.

Speaking of her career, Eldest Sister-in-law became upbeat: "It's wonderful. These ducks loved to lay eggs outside. Can miss out one if I don't pay attention."

Then they chatted about Third Brother's family and her third brother's family. Apart from hearing from Third Brother on his return about her father bringing her two elder brothers over to make a fuss, nothing else happened.

Lin Qing He didn't care about that much. Her third brother should go through the storm on his own and see it clearly what level of character her two elder brothers and that father were.

According to what she saw at the end of last year's return, his feeling for them still existed. Placing importance to family was a virtue, but it must be depend on the other party.

After talking with Eldest Sister-in-law, she called Zhou Xiao Mei. She hung up and waited for the boss to call her. After a while, she called again and Zhou Xiao Mei answered.

"Fourth Sister-in-law, I know you will definitely call back today during the Mid-Autumn Festival." Zhou Xiao Mei grinned.

"How's Father, Mother, and Uncle Wang? How are their health?" Lin Qing He smiled.

"All of them is pretty good. You don't have to worry, Fourth Sister-in-law. Counting the time, your months are pretty high," Zhou Xiao Mei responded.

Lin Qing He saw Zhou Qing Bai coming over there. Mostly came out because he felt was she was gone a long time after going out to make a call.

In fact, this was the truth.

She gave Zhou Qing Bai a look before continuing to chat with Zhou Xiao Mei: "It should be due around the National Day."

"That's really fast. I'll go over later," Zhou Xiao Mei said.

"No need. Just take good care of your family. Your fourth brother is here." Lin Qing He knew Zhou Xiao Mei's intentions. She was worried about her.

"How can my fourth brother handle it all alone? I have to go there to feel rest assured. What's more, I already told Da Lin and my parents. They all agreed." Zhou Xiao Mei maintained.

"When you come here, only Brother-in-law will be on his own at the bun shop. Can he manage?" Lin Qing He said.

"Won't let him set up the stall. You don't have to worry, Fourth Sister-in-law. I have to come and watch it for you this month. We don't worry about keeping Sister-in-law a big man." Zhou Xiao Mei assured.

"How about, sending Si Ni over?" Lin Qing He suggested.

In fact, she felt her Qing Bai would have no problem. However, their family were worried. They can drop the idea of Zhou Xiao Mei coming over. The children and the bun shop needed her.

So can only consider Zhou Si Ni.

"I can arrange everything before I go over. But since you want Si Ni to go there, then I'll let her know when she comes to eat tonight. Eldest Sister-in-law and Er Ni had talked over the phone a few times and said to let Si Ni come. Si Ni had also brought it up herself. But when I considered Guo Dong's side, I thought about going over." Zhou Xiao Mei told.

"How can Guo Dong not be able endure this time?" Lin Qing He replied with mirth.

"Fourth Sister-in-law, don't say that. Guo Dong is a bit like his old house is on fire. He come here for two-three days." Zhou Xiao Mei grinned.

"Really fancy her?" Lin Qing He jollily said.

"Si Ni is a neat girl. She is also a wonderful at managing the home. Our house is clean and tidy. How can he not? He got good eyes." Zhou Xiao Mei spoke. Then there was some hesitation: "It's Si Ni. This girl. I find that she doesn't take it seriously yet?"

"He's already dropping by often and Si Ni haven't put her heart in?" Lin Qing He asked in surprise.

"Probably still don't believe that Guo Dong really wants to something serious with her. I think she planned to muddle through it until Guo Dong stop dating from the beginning. She probably didn't expect Guo Dong to really fancy at her." Zhou Xiao Mei said amusedly.

Lin Qing He didn't expect that her worry about Si Ni fancying Weng Guo Dong first was for naught. In the end, it was Weng Guo Dong who fell in love with Si Ni.

  5. The first branch sisters are just too charming lol. For Wang Yuan it didn't take him too long because he has a very strong charm and Er Ni had already been interested in him at least by a bit.

    But Si Ni seeing her sister catch such a luck she probably kept it in her mind that there's a chance she won't get that luck and just worked diligently for herself. But it's her diligence that interested Weng Guo Dong.

    Moral of the story is work on yourself. Can't love someone if you can't love and care for yourself.
