Chapter 529 A nest of snakes and rats
Back to the Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise the Cubs
In Lin Qing Heâs view, this niece, Zhou Si Ni was indeed good. She was very self-motivated, optimistic and diligent. A sunny and upward girl.
Otherwise, why would Lin Qing He be unwilling to introduce her to Weng Guo Dong? Weng Guo Dong wasnât bad. She was just worried about hurting Zhou Si Ni. So do what should be done and donât come ruin her niece.
With Weng Guo Dongâs level, Lin Qing He was still reluctant to introduce him. Let alone old Zhu Familyâs.
Letâs not to mention other things, just old Zhu Familyâs over-confidence until they were narcissistic and arrogant. That was a bit unbearable.
The events with Hu Zi in the past were still vivid. And old Madam Zhuâs self-esteem was very high.
Zhou Xiao Mei spoke: "What kind of virtues old Zhu Family have? They always regarded themselves as superior. They socialized with Mother out of charitable heart. There was sign since last year and none this year. I thought I was misunderstanding. Now, they are at it again."
"It may be that her grandson was abandoned by other and has no match. So they turned back to Si Ni." Lin Qing He enjoyed the back scrub and indifferently break it down.
But really, she was right.
Old Madam Zhuâs grandson failed his duty and ended at home. His relationship with his original match was where he kneeled and bootlick the other. They were just leaving him hanging.
Out of the sudden, his temporary job was gone just last month. With this, that match didnât even want to hang him and directly broke up with him.
So old Madam Zhuâs daughter remembered that she had come to see her mother before and heard her mother talk about the rural girl she disdained.
Although she was from the countryside, her uncle and aunt were rich. Even like this, old Madam Zhuâs daughter didnât set her eyes on her. Otherwise, why would she let her son date the other person this year?
But now they broke up, there was nothing to say. She turned around and came back to look for the granddaughter of old Zhou family.
If it works out, it wouldnât be bad to arrange a job for her son.
That was why old Madam Zhu often came to chatter with Mother Zhou.
Lin Qing He didnât pay any mind to this matter because it was impossible. So what else needed to be said.
When Zhou Xiao Mei and her fourth sister-in-law came back from taking a bath, she saw old Madam Zhu talking to Zhou Si Ni.
"Si Ni." Zhou Xiao Meiâs face turned dark and she immediately called out.
A matter like Xu Sheng Mei getting tricked away by old Madam Hu happening once was enough!
"Aunt." Zhou Si Ni came over.
"Itâs very cold outside. Why are you staying outside? Go inside." Zhou Xiao Mei stated.
She didnât pay much attention to old Madam Zhu and led Zhou Si Ni into the house. Once the door was closed, she whispered to Zhou Si Ni, "Whatâs happening?"
"I donât know whatâs going on? She wanted to invite me over for a cup of tea. I was about to refuse." Zhou Si Ni told.
She wasnât familiar with old Madam Zhu. And she knew old Madam Zhuâs relationship with her grandmother wasnât very good. How could she possibly go in for tea. She didnât know what was going on. The old lady was overly-friendly with her, which made her feel unsettled.
"Itâs right to refuse. If you want to marry into her old Zhuâs house, then go." Zhou Xiao Mei said.
Zhou Si Ni got a scare: "What?"
"Do you think she is so kind? Itâs because she wanted to match you to her grandson." Zhou Xiao Mei curled her lips and explained, "I just went to take a bath with your fourth aunt and we chattered about this. Donât be coaxed, understand? If you dare to do something like Xu Sheng Mei, neither I nor your fourth aunt will spare you!"
"I wonât! I definitely wonât be like Cousin Sheng Mei." Zhou Si Ni hurriedly promised.
"Thatâs fine." Zhou Xiao Mei reminded: "The two old ladies from next door arenât anything good. Keep it in mind, understand?"
Zhou Xiao Mei knew about old Madam Zhuâs intentions due to old Madam Hu coming over to act as the middle person. The two were a nest of snakes and rats in Zhou Xiao Meiâs heart. Nothing good.
Naturally, Zhou Si Ni agreed.
"Si Ni is here. Howâs your second sister? Both twins have a good appetite?" Mother Zhou was watching TV with her two little granddaughters. Seeing her come, she spoke.
"Grandmother, you donât have to worry. They are all fine." Zhou Si Ni smiled and replied, "They are all asleep now. Took the rare opportunity to come and see you and Grandfather." She looked around and said, "Where is Grandfather?"
"Your grandfather and old Wang were taken to the hot springs by San Wa. Really donât know how to save money. Itâs better to go to the bathhouse for a soak." Mother Zhou complained.
In her mind, it was still ten yuan per person. In fact, it cost twenty yuan per person. But right now there was a discount to attract visitors. Only fifteen per person.
Zhou Gui Lai had a rare free time and caught a ride over with his two grandfathers.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Speaking of which, Third was really filial now. Once he was free, he will come over to accompany the two elderly people or take them out to eat and take pictures.
Because of this, both Father Zhou and old Wangâs spirits improved to a higher level. When talking with other people, it was about where they went to see the scenery with the younger generation recently.
"Itâs hard on you. Itâs not easy to mind the children." Zhou Xiao Mei sat down and gave some oranges to her niece.
"How is minding children difficult? Thereâs no wind or bathing under the sunlight." Mother Zhou interjected.
"Anyway, I donât think it is easy." Zhou Xiao Mei spoke. When she quit her job in the county city in her hometown to take care of her children, it was a feeling of dark days without a hint of daylight.
She had missed the days when she went to work. Why else did her fourth sister-in-law tell her to put the two older ones in her maternal home and she go to work?
Later on, it wonât work out. With so many children, they canât keep letting her parents mind them. So she quit her job and stayed at home.
Those days...
"Actually, itâs okay." Zhou Si Ni merrily responded. The two children were pretty well-behaved. They can sleep well after they were cleaned up.
"San Ni doesnât have a washing machine. What to do with diapers?" Mother Zhou suddenly remembered and said.
"Third Brother-in-law washes it, hangs it overnight after washing, and then puts it on the lid of the pot to heat it. After half a day, it dries completely," Zhou Er Ni answered.
She went there to assist with the postnatal confinement. So she knew a bit.
A washing machine was few hundreds. Which wasnât too much for Lin Qing He. However, she didnât plan to help that much.
She had already helped with buying a shop. Even if the rest of the days was a little harder, she let them manage by themselves.
Now the weather was freezing, so Li Ai Guo washed the diaper as soon as it appeared. After washing, he hung it to drain out the water. After that, they were placed on the lid of the pot.
Mother Zhou nodded and didnât say anything. Who didnât experience this? It was much better now.
When Zhou San Ni was in confinement, this side gave five yuan cut meat to eat, a chicken, and a basket of eggs.
She heard that her fourth aunt gave her a jin of fish gelatin and told Ai Guo to stew it few times a month to replenish her body.
