Chapter 483 Social interaction
Back to the Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise the Cubs
When Hu Zi came back, it went without saying he received interrogation from Zhou Gui Lai, Gang Zi and the others.
Hu Zi shyly confessed.
Basically, all of old Zhou Family knew about Hu Zi and Chen Shan Shan being in a relationship.
Mother Zhou was paid close attention to this matter.
Whatâs more, she was someone good at handling relationship. So, when Gang Zi went to see her, she told Gang Zi to bring a basket of eggs to old Chenâs house.
"Mother, just let Hu Zi date the girl. Donât intervene so much. Keep your own eggs for yourself to eat." Zhou Xiao Mei said helplessly.
"How can this do? Their family can set their eyes on Hu Zi is Hu Ziâs blessing. We have to help Hu Zi. How can we do nothing?" Mother Zhou responded.
Zhou Xiao Mei said: "You made it sounds like Hu Zi is worthless. Hu Zi is great young man and is being nurtured by Fourth Sister-in-law. He wonât be badly off in the future. Old Chen family probably thought of this. So you donât need to do this. Donât make old Chen family feel embarrassed."
Zhou Xiao Mei wasnât reluctant to part with those eggs. What age was it now? The conditions at home were better. A basket of eggs was really nothing. It was just that her motherâs attitude hadnât been caught on.
It was as if the family was buttering up to old Chen Family. Was there any necessity for this? If they were to be in-laws in the future, they donât need to be so polite. How it was before is how itâll be be in the future was enough.
"Alright. Send less in the future. Come to think of it, this kid, Hu Zi is blessed." Mother Zhou jollily said.
With such a big problem like household registration, Mother Zhou really didnât dare to expect her grandson to find a girl in the capital. Otherwise, she wouldnât instantly disapprove when hearing Xu Sheng Qiang wanting to marry a girl in the capital.
But she didnât expect that the unthinkable happened. A family set their eyes on this grandson, Hu Zi. Even with the household registration issue, they would be willing to marry their daughter to him. This really made Mother Zhou overjoyed when she thought about it.
"Itâs not that Hu Zi is blessed. But rather, Hu Zi followed the right person. He came here and got trained by Fourth Sister-in-law. Thatâs why the other party can look upon him." Zhou Xiao Mei knew it inside out.
"I know. Itâs all your fourth sister-in-lawâs credit." Mother Zhou smiled.
"Credit or not, Fourth Sister-in-law has never mention it. As long as they arenât like Sheng Mei siblings, it was fine and can give everything. If one is even a little bad, she can remember it." Zhou Xiao Mei said.
"On this point, what is there to debate?" Mother Zhou responded.
"With Sheng Meiâs temperament, she must be dissatisfied in her heart. Hu Zi can date a capitalâs girl and marry her, while Qiang Zi canât. How can she not have any opinion in her heart." Zhou Xiao Mei remarked.
"Qiang Zi is stupid. How can he compare with Hu Zi? Hu Zi can marry. No need to be afraid of not being able to support the other. With Qiang Ziâs lazy ways, who would be willing to be with him?" Mother Zhou uttered in displeasure.
She was still angry. Even until now, Xu Sheng Qiang hadnât come here to apologize to his uncle.
He finally got sent to study after much difficulty. Now he had to quit.
"In short, I donât want to care about them. Mother, just intervene in their matter as little as possible. Really wonât settle." Zhou Xiao Mei said.
Mother Zhou asked in a low voice, "Whatâs the situation in your uncle-in-lawâs house. Would Da Lin introduce them over?"
"En, but Uncle and Aunt donât plan to come. They said theyâre old. While his eldest cousin and his wife have that plan." Zhou Xiao Mei said.
"I remember you saying your cousin sister-in-law isnât that great, no?" Mother Zhou asked.
"Certainly not that great. Iâm planning to get them to live further away in the future and ask Da Lin to find a place farther away. Wonât in the same area," Zhou Xiao Mei said.
Su Da Linâs eldest cousin was a nice guy. A very peaceful person and had a good relationship with Su Da Lin. While his sister-in-law was terrible.
When she was in the county, that cousin sister-in-law disliked her as she was from the countryside. Basically, didnât speak to her much.
Also her aunt-in-law was willing to help her with the children. At that time, she was working, right? She canât always leave the children at her maternal home.
Her aunt didnât any objection, but this cousin sister-in-law had a lot.
In fact, Zhou Xiao Mei couldnât be bothered to greet them if it werenât for looking upon Su Da Linâs Uncle and Auntâs face. That was how it was between relatives. Some favors really needed to be paid back.
Her Da Lin was an orphan when he was very young. And he stuttered. If it werenât for his uncle and auntâs care, he would really be bullied to death.
Although Su Da Lin received bullying when he was a child, he grew up safely. Whether it was his house or his salary, his uncle and aunt didnât covet it.
Even Zhou Xiao Mei would respect this kind of uncle and aunt after marrying over.
So even when the relationship with that cousin was bad, Zhou Xiao Mei didnât say anything.
"When will they come?" Mother Zhou asked.
"I donât know. I guess it wonât be this year. They have to learn how to make buns with my aunt. Maybe next year." Zhou Xiao Mei responded.
Her family Da Linâs art of making buns was learnt from his aunt. Then adding his own innovations, it became a technique to support the family.
So, Zhou Xiao Mei really had no reason to give Da Linâs uncle face. The couple had never mistreat her Da Lin.
Mother Zhou said, "Let Da Lin help find a place. Live somewhere far away. The shop too. At that time, donât let it be in the same area."
"Our street is completely occupied. If they want, they have to find one elsewhere." Mother Zhou continued.
"Da Lin knows these." Zhou Xiao Mei said.
"What if they ask to borrow money? Whatâll you do" Mother Zhou whispered again.
Zhou Xiao Mei said: "More or less, we have to lend some. But, we canât lend much. We donât even have money to buy a house for ourselves."
At present, her family had some savings. The bun shopâs business was doing well and her family Da Lin was also working hard. In the morning, he would ride the tricycle out to sell a lot of buns. Their income had increased a lot.
But the distance to purchasing a home... They still have to save. Save for two or three years. After all, it wasnât cheap.
Mother Zhou didnât comment to that and said: "The day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Got to buy some moon cakes back to eat."
"Okay." Zhou Xiao Mei agreed.
"Prepare a share for Hu Zi. Let him take with him and drop by old Chenâs house." Mother Zhou continued.
"Alright. As his aunt, I got give some support." Zhou Xiao Mei didnât have any objection. It was the holiday. So let Hu Zi bring a gift and visit at the girlâs house. This was how it should be.
The Mid-Autumn Festival arrived in a flash.
This yearâs Mid-Autumn Festival was more than half a month delayed than in previous years. So that it was almost October. It was only the 15th of August according to the lunar calendar.
Lin Qing Heâs side originally prepared a share for Hu Zi. However, Zhou Xiao Mei gave a share. So she gave it to Aunt Ma and told Aunt Ma no need to buy it.
It was just enjoying the Mid-Autumn Festival. Xu Sheng Mei had to pull Xu Sheng Qiang over. Lin Qing He held deep admiration.
If Xu Sheng Meiâs heart was righteous, with the thickness of her face, she will definitely have a career in the future.
