Chapter 690. Things remained the same, while people did not
Zhou Wu Ni chuckled. Jiang Heng smiled when he saw her laughing at him.
It was his wife who was better. She was gentle, considerate, and generous. Unlike that eldest sister-in-law of his. She was truly petty to no end.
Don't think he didn't know that it was her who encouraged his mom to let his two sisters move over.
"This year's New Year, do you want to bring Mother over?" Jiang Heng spoke.
"My mother may not be free. It's usually busy at the end of the year," Zhou Wu Ni answered.
Now the business was getting better and better. Her parents' shop was also doing very well. Especially at the end of the year, it was quite busy.
"Then see when she is free. Just call Mother a few more time." Jiang Heng suggested.
In Jiang Heng's mind, his mother-in-law's family was better than his own mom.
Whenever there was something good, Mother-in-law would think about them. Not mentioning those dowry when they got married last year, there was also those sent over by the postal service later. She sent a large package with dry goods in it.
Like those bacon and mushrooms. She treated them young couple especially well.
It went without saying, Zhou Wu Ni was satisfied. When talking on the phone with Third Sister-in-law, she recounted Jiang Heng's attitude.
Third Sister-in-law jollily spoke: "It's enough that you two can live well. Once Mother is free, I'll go over to see you. The way to your fourth aunt's house is easy to recognize."
After getting off the train, they can get there by an hour-and-a-half bus ride. Of course, they won’t reach there directly. The bus drop off at the school. From the school, go straight until a hospital come in sight. Then keep going straight and they'll be nearly there.
The journey wasn't short, but it was easy to recognize.
The mother and daughter talked for a long time before they hung up the phone. But as soon as the phone hung up, Third Sister-in-law Lin came over.
Third Sister-in-law saw that her expression was bad and couldn't help asking: "What's the matter?"
"My father-in-law has enter the hospital. It seems like he won't make it," Third Sister-in-law Lin answered.
Mother Lin left a few years earlier. While Father Lin was still alive until now. However, he was old now. He had a high fever last night and got admitted to the hospital today. He was getting older. Right now, he was talking nonsense.
Meaning it should be about time. His health hadn't been very good over the years.
Third Sister-in-law understood and phoned the courtyard dwelling. Lin Qing He had went to the translation studio and wasn't at home. Zhou Qing Bai was at the tea shop. Third, who was sweating from the heat and went home to take a shower, heard from Auntie Zhao that the old house called. Saying that there was an urgent matter.
After taking a bath and feeling refreshed, Third called back his third aunt.
Then he heard about his grandpa's matter.
Out of the maternal family, their family only recognized the youngest maternal uncle. No one else.
The last time, his grandma passed away. His mom didn't let them go back. That time they really shouldn't do that. They should have all went back.
It should be the same this time. So Third gave a direct response on the phone, saying that his family would go back.
Then he called his eldest brother over at the camp. His eldest brother was originally supposed to go on a mission. But this time, he had no choice but to swap out.
Weng Mei Jia couldn't go back. Her belly was big. It was inconvenient to. She was pregnant after all.
The rest was his second brother's side. He needed to be notified.
After all of them were notified, Third grabbed the car key and went out to inform his mom.
Lin Qing He nodded when she received the news. She understood it in her heart. As for what being sad or not sad, there wasn't anything.
Still, it was necessary to go back for condolences.
She came out to find a public phone booth and called Third Sister-in-law and asked for details.
"I heard from your younger sister-in-law that he probably won't make it this time. The hospital has already issued a critical state notice and told to prepare for the funeral." Third Sister-in-law told.
Father Lin passed away that night.
It was summer. He mustn't be left out for too long.
So the next day, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai took Third, Lin Xiu, and Mi Mi on the return journey.
Eldest and Second had caught a train over there. The time difference wasn't too much.
After arriving in the county city, they got Third to live with his maternal uncle's family. Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai took Mi Mi back to the village.
Third Brother had given a heads up in advance. That's why, Eldest Sister-in-law had helped clean up the house.
The house was very clean at this time.
Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai went over to her side to eat with Mi Mi. She smilingly said: "Just coming back to take a glance and it was all cleaned up by you, Eldest Sister-in-law."
"It didn't take a lot of effort. There are fans at the home. Fourth Brother, bring one with you later. It can't do to have no electric fan in this weather," Eldest Sister-in-law jollily responded.
After eating here, Zhou Qing Bai took his youngest girl around the village for a stroll. People in the village found it interesting. They heard Zhou Qing Bai and Lin Qing He gave birth to a girl. However, they haven’t seen her yet. Just a look and they found her really beautiful.
Like a little fairy.
Lin Qing He didn't go out to show off her daughter like Zhou Qing Bai. She started chatting with Eldest Sister-in-law.
Except for the Lin Family's matter, there was also Zhou Liu Ni.
"Don't know where she went by herself. She didn't come back after coming back once last year. She had borrowed two hundred yuan from me," Eldest Sister-in-law told.
Initially, Zhou Liu Ni opened a lion's mouth and demanded to borrow one thousand yuan. How could Eldest Sister-in-law lend so much money to her. She just lent her two hundred.
The excuse Zhou Liu Ni used was that she wanted to return it to her father, so she won't be scolded by her father.
Who could have thought that she left the next day after borrowing the money. As for where she went, no one knew. There was no news until now.
Lin Qing He didn't care about Zhou Liu Ni. No matter whether she reborn or transmigrated, everyone had to pay for their actions.
Walking the right path will get right results. Walking the wrong way will result in bad ending.
However, as someone with 'foresight', Zhou Liu Ni won't end up doing too badly. Lets not talk about other stuff. As long as she have the ability to buy one or two houses in the first-tier cities, she will definitely make a profit.
Zhou Qing Bai's chatter with Second Brother sounded from outside the door.
Lin Qing He came out to say hello. When she saw what Second Brother looked like, Lin Qing He was a little stunned.
When she transmigrated, Second Brother was still young. But in a blink of an eye, twenty years have passed.
Second Brother was indeed not young this year. However, he aged too much in current state. The person was extraordinarily skinny.
Lin Qing He couldn't bear to look.
In all fairness, Second Brother wasn't bad. He was considered a nice guy. But in a blink of an eye, things remained the same, while people did not.
"Does Fourth Sister-in-law feel I aged a lot?" Second Brother smilingly said.
"The things I asked Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law to bring back this year are all nourishing. Did Second Brother not stew and eat it?" Lin Qing He asked.
"It's been all taken by Liu Ni's mother to the city." Before Second Brother opened his mouth, Eldest Sister-in-law took over and answered.
"Don't Xia Xia's side already have it?" Lin Qing He said.
Each family got one portion and the portions were the same.
"There are. Liu Ni's mother felt it was too little and simply took it over." Eldest Sister-in-law explained.
"Let her take it. I don't need to eat those." Second Brother smiled.
Zhou Wu Ni chuckled. Jiang Heng smiled when he saw her laughing at him.
It was his wife who was better. She was gentle, considerate, and generous. Unlike that eldest sister-in-law of his. She was truly petty to no end.

ty
ReplyDeleteto treat your partner (and a good one, not a bad one at that) like that, harming their health, second sister in law reaches a new low.
I feel so bad for Second Brother Zhou, having such a wife :( Thank you for the chapter!
ReplyDeleteman, the second brother was too loyal and a martyr at that too.. well, they were old to initiate divorce so i think he's just living out his life miserably.
ReplyDeleteHe is original Qing Bai's foil. Second Brother's situation exists so we can appreciate how much Qing Bai's situation changed and is better because of transmigrated MC. All Zhou men were trained by Mother Zhou to listen to their wives - even if it rushes them to their death, it seems.
DeleteBut Xia Xia, I can't tell if he's a good egg or not. How can he let his father get to this state?
What I only wish for this novel's ending, would be second brother in law go to the capital with his daughter and it would be happy ending for sure.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chapter
ReplyDelete'Walking the right path will get right results. Walking the wrong way will result in bad ending'
ReplyDeleteThat author mindset is fking BS. Reality won't be always like that. Because of that mindset, the plot was too biased.
