Chapter 606. Got to give a good scolding

Before Zhou Kai could say a few words, his dad hung up the phone.

Zhou Qing Bai was busy. There was no time to chat with him. Many people came over and ordered dumplings. He got to make it for them to collect at the appointed time.

Zhou Kai rubbed his nose. He wanted to chat with his mom. They could talk for more than half an hour. With his dad, he would hang up after a few words.

He also wanted to talk with his sister.

Zhou Qing Bai was too occupied for this. Once he come back, won't he know then?

He worked away until noon. Taking advantage of the kids having lunch there, Zhou Qing Bai packed a portion and brought it to his wife.

Lin Qing He said, "It's time to take out our car."

"Third only has one class in the afternoon. Let him come back and watch the shop." Zhou Qing Bai stated.

He and his wife had to go to the outskirts. If something happens, it can be dealt with in time.

Lin Qing He nodded.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Gui Lai came back to watch his sister. As for what his parents were doing, he didn't ask them. He wanted to mind his sister.

But he didn't need to do much as she was asleep. So he was just keeping guard at home.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai caught the bus to the outskirts, found a remote place with no one around, and withdrew the car. The couple drove the car and returned.

Altogether it took an hour or so and the car was 'shipped' back.

Zhou Gui Lai was shocked when he found out: "Wasn't it sold?" 

He thought it wasn't brought back and got sold.

"Wasn't sold. Your dad knew an old acquaintance who retired and started these transportation. There were a good few cars and was brought over together." Lin Qing He explained.

Zhou Gui Lai's attention wasn't on this. What he cared about was that his family had a car!

He ran downstairs to look at the car at once. He was so excited. He already knew how to drive but hadn't got the license yet.

When Second came back, he saw the car and was stunned for a moment. He spoke, "When did the car come back?"

"Dad's old comrade helped drive it back. Second Brother, go, take me out for a ride. Go to Grandfather and Grandmother's side to show off." Zhou Gui Lai said in joy.

"I'll go up and get the keys from Dad." Zhou Xuan replied. He wanted to drive it out for a ride.

Zhou Qing Bai didn't stop them and gave him the key.

The two brothers drove the car around before heading to their grandparent.

Father Zhou and Mother Zhou saw the car then and was also stunned: "This isn't your second brother-in-law's car. Where did this car come from?"

"My dad bought it. He bought it at Hai City. I thought it was sold. Unexpectedly, it was driven back by someone." Zhou Gui Lai grinned, "Grandfather, let's go the hot spring tomorrow with God-grandfather."

Father Zhou appeared calm on the surface and asked, "How much is this car?"

"Tens of thousands!" Zhou Gui Lai answered. This car was quality car. Twenty-thirty hundred was a must.

Mother Zhou felt pain and said: "This is too expensive. So much money and it's useless to buy it. There's a truck."

"How can a truck be compared with this sedan car. The truck is for goods. It can't carry people. The car is better. It's high-end and fancy." Zhou Gui Lai responded.

"It's so many tens of thousands." Mother Zhou grumbled.

"Isn't the money earned to be spent. However because of buying this car, my dad really emptied his savings." Zhou Gui Lai commented.

"I'm just saying it's wasting money. With so much money, what could you not do? Do he have to buy such an expensive car." Mother Zhou said.

"Grandmother, why are you caring about it so much? It's not like it's your money being spent." Zhou Gui Lai smilingly said.

Mother Zhou.

"Enough, get in. Your son and daughter-in-law are successful and bought a car. You just need to be happy with them. Don’t worry about the rest. Get in. We'll take you two elders for a ride. Let's go to the park and you can talk to other old ladies about your prodigal son. "Zhou Gui Lai urged.

This was the truth. Have to go to the park and brag about it.

So Father Zhou and Mother Zhou both got in the car and went for a ride around. Only then did they let the two elders go home.

Old Madam Hu came out next door and was shocked when she saw the car: "This car doesn't seem to belong to your second grandson-in-law?"

"My youngest son bought it. Really. He likes this kind of façade stuff. In order to buy this car, he has to borrow money from others. When he comes over, I have to scold him!" Mother Zhou told her.

Old Madam Hu immediately became envious. She eyed the car and remarked, "Your youngest son is really promising. Got two cars."

"What promising!? Got a giant splurging hand. Didn't have a penny left. Spent it all on these. Tell me, what need is there to buy such a small car when they own a truck? They also said that they would take us to the hot springs and when the spring begins next year, he would take us to other places." Mother Zhou prattled on.

Father Zhou couldn't continue to listen to his wife's show off and uttered: "Hurry up and go back in. It's very cold."

Mother Zhou was still a bit into it. However, she turned to her two grandsons: "Go back first. Tell your dad to come over tomorrow. See if I won't scold him!"

"Okay." Zhou Xuan drove Third back.

Old Madam Zhu from next door came out at this time and noticed the departing car. Father Zhou and Mother Zhou had already went in.

"What happened? Who bought a car?" Old Madam Zhu asked.

"Her fourth is really promising. Previously bought the big truck, now this sedan car." Old Madam Hu generously answered her.

Old Madam Zhu wanted to vomit blood when she heard this.

Her granddaughter Zhu Zhen Zhen had married, but she didn't marry very well. Especially this year, her grandson-in-law was laid off.

And her granddaughter was pregnant. Now that her grandson-in-law was laid off, how will they live?

Granddaughter's life was very difficult, while this old Zhou Family was full of prosperity. If her granddaughter married Zhou Kai in the past, how good her life would be now?

A truck and a car.

But there was no such fate.

Even old Madam Zhu couldn't say old Zhou Family wasn't blessed when seeing them getting more and more prosperous now.

These days flew and was now the day when the small workshop disbanded.

Lin Qing He came to pay the salary. Everyone's salary was 70 yuan. That was the base. Plus the half a month's salary, it was 105.

It was a lot of money to hand out.

Lin Qing He didn't feel pained though. The small workshop opened until now and had made profit.

After the salary was paid, everyone felt a little depressed. There was nothing to say. After all, Lin Qing He was really kind.

I was paid well when I was employed, but now I quit, and I am given half a month's salary. What else was there to say?

This sewing machine was sold cheap. It was done through random draw. Whoever got picked out bought it for fifty yuan. Although it had been used for several years, it was still in fine condition. Items from this time was sturdy. This second hand good wasn't expensive.
