Chapter 384 Marriage with someone ten years older
Back to the Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise the Cubs
Of course, more important than these comfortable days, there was no need to be under the same roof with Second Sister-in-law.
As their life got better, Third Sister-in-lawâs patience was running out.
Let alone her, even good-tempered Eldest Sister-in-law canât tolerate her. Otherwise, why were they hoarding adobe this year? They were planning on building a new house during the slack period and move out.
Of course, the reason was the children in the family were getting big and not enough room. But more often, it was because canât get along with Second Sister-in-law.
"The business here is pretty good?" Lin Qing He asked with a smile.
"Although it is tiring, itâs not bad." Third Sister-in-law smiled heartily.
If this was someone else, nine out then times, they would cry how poor they were. Saying that doing business wasnât profitable and can barely feed themselves. How about lending some money?
Since it was this passable sister-in-law, Lin Qing He, this move was really unnecessary because they donât really mind at all.
"I bought a motorcycle for my brother. It will be much more convenient to travel between the city and the countryside in the future. He booked it earlier. At that time, you havenât opened a shop, Third Sister-in-law." Lin Qing He said.
She wonât explain what shouldnât be explained but what should be mentioned, there will be two sentences.
"Motorcycle?" Third Sister-in-lawâs eyes lit up.
"En, my brother and sister-in-law werenât very willing, but in the end, they listened to me and asked me to buy one back." Lin Qing He nodded.
"Cost a lot?" Third Sister-in-law said.
"More than seven hundred." Lin Qing He replied.
"More than seven hundred?" Third Sister-in-law exclaimed. It really wasnât cheap at all.
"If itâs cheap, I wonât simply watch Third Brother riding a bicycle and buy one back for him. But itâs too expensive. I have to ask your opinions. My brother and my sister-in-law were also reluctant. If you want to buy it, you can call me then. For a short time, we canât. You have to wait for this time next year." Lin Qing He said.
"En. Iâll discuss with your third brother. Itâs just the price is too dear." Third Sister-in-law responded.
Lin Qing He smiled and talked about Wu Niâs college.
Speaking of this, Third Sister-in-law grinned: "Must thank you for this. Wu Ni said that she worked out one major math problem. The type was exactly the same as what Er Wa explained to her. There was also an English listening part. She was three points away from the full score. All due to the tape recorder you bought."
Lin Qing He smiled: "Wu Ni and Yang Yang are about to go to college. As their fourth aunt, I will also gain face. Itâs not worth talking about."
"At this time, she should be at her classmateâs house. One of her classmates has also been admitted to the same school. They were thinking about going to school, so I didnât stop her." Third Sister-in-law grinned.
It explained why Wu Ni wasnât at home. Lin Qing He would naturally not mind this.
"Youâll go home and have a look?" Third Sister-in-law asked again.
"Got to back." Lin Qing He nodded.
"When you go back, you donât have to pay it any heed if the second room says something." Third Sister-in-law advised.
"Whatâs wrong?" Lin Qing He raised an eyebrow.
"Last time I went back, she spoke to me in an eccentric tone as if I owed her money. I didnât do anything to her." Third Sister-in-law explained: "Also, you donât know what kind of marriage she settled for San Ni."
Speaking of this, Third Sister-in-law felt sick.
"San Ni got engaged?" Lin Qing He was also surprised. But it wasnât out of the norm. San Ni was just a little younger than Er Ni. Also, at the age of marriage.
"She will get married at the end of this year." Third Sister-in-law nodded.
"Engaged to what kind of person?" Lin Qing He asked.
Lin Qing He was very optimistic about this niece, San Ni at the beginning. The girl was honest and had a temperament like her father.
But over the years, her temper had become more and more solemn. She didnât say a word.
She used to be good, but donât know what happened and became like this.
Engaged with someone ten years older than her. His leg is a little lame. I heard that his temper isnât good." Third Sister-in-lawâs heart was burning when she said this.
Even as her aunt, she canât stand it. But what can she do? One can manage the sky and land, but canât manage the marriage the mother arranged for their daughter, right?
Upon hearing the manâs situation, Lin Qing He frowned: "Why did she agree to such a marriage?"
"That side has given a lot of money."Thord Sister-in-law answered.
There werenât so many rules in the countryside, like gifting major household items. Still, the man was also willing. After all, for such a young woman, he was willing to give four hundred yuan as a gift.
At this while, four hundred yuan was really enormous gift money. It was considered that the woman was highly thought upon. Why else would one give such a glorious amount of gift money?
However, Third Sister-in-law wasnât satisfied. Let alone Lin Qing He.
"Isnât this selling daughter?" Lin Qing He remarked.
Third Sister-in-law sighed: "I got old Third to go back and ask Second Brother. You knowhow Second Brother is. He has no power at home."
Lin Qing He heard this and dryly laughed. She used to think that Second Brotherâs temper was a good thing. Now something like this happened, she didnât have a good impression of Second Brother.
That was his own daughter. Being ten years older and having a lame leg wasnât a problem. Having a bad temper wonât do.
Since Third Sister-in-law can find this out, it must not be wrong. What if there was a tendency for domestic violence?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
With Zhou San Niâs temperament, even if she was beaten, she wouldnât dare to say.
Had Second Brother never thought about this possibility? Maybe his mind was clouded by the 400 yuan gift money.
"Iâm not optimistic about this marriage. The manâs side canât do it. But now the marriage gift is given, itâs only short of San Ni marrying over during slack period." Third Sister-in-law shook her head.
Lin Qing He frowned. She also couldnât intervene in this. Sister-in-law was just sister-in-law. What position did one have to stop them from marrying their daughter?
Especially since the man gave four hundred yuan as gift money. This sincerity was sufficient.
"Letâs not talk about this. This year, Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law are going to build a new house. Our family also has a site. Iâm thinking, should we build a new house?" Third Sister-in-law mentioned.
They had made a lot this year. So building a new house wasnât a problem.
"After itâs built, you wonât live in it. Youâll only go back for a few days during the New Year. Itâs better to buy one here in the city. Living in Xiao Meiâs place isnât a long-term solution." Lin Qing He said.
"I was so focused about these trivial matters at home that I havenât asked sister-in-law and brother-in-law? Also, how are Father and Mother?" Third Sister-in-law asked.
"All of them are well. Itâs safe and secure over there." Lin Qing He nodded.
"Thatâs good." Third Sister-in-law responded and continued the topic about buying a house in the city. She and Third Brotherâs thoughts were that they didnât have household registration in the city. Wouldnât it be unreliable to buy a house in the city?
"Whatâs unreliable? Itâs the same. It doesnât make a difference. My brother is planning to buy one." Lin Qing He said.
Third Sister-in-law nodded and she knew it in mind.
