Chapter 541: Steel straight man
"He said he wants to live here?" Lin Qing He looked at Third Brother Lin.
Third Brother Lin pursed his lips and responded, "Father said nobody mind him when living in the village. Neither Eldest Brother and Second Brother cares."
"In the past, Father and Mother took care of second branch the most. They wanted second branch to provide elderly care. Although our third branch is the youngest, we didn't benefit anything. Why should look after now he's old?" Third Sister-in-law Lin said with a cold face.
In fact, Third Sister-in-law Lin wasn't such a hard-hearted person. But her post-natal confinement treatment was a knot that will never be unknotted in her entire life.
After her family came to open a shop in the city, she still gave some consideration to the family because of Lin Qing He. So what should be given to Father Lin and Mother Lin, she wouldn't give it. But when Third Brother Lin give, she won't stop him.
She felt it was pretty good like this.
One must know that back then she couldn't a bite of hot congee because she had given birth to two daughters. She would never forget this.
Third Sister-in-law felt the current amount of filial was sufficient. The better this person have it, the more endless trouble they will have.
Before he said he wanted to come to the city and she had refused. This time, he brought it up again. Saying he didn't have many years left and wanted to come over to enjoy a comfortable life.
Others actually hoped for them take the old man over. It was so vexing that Third Sister-in-law Lin flipped out on the spot.
All of them found her family's wonderful life an eyesore. They want to add a stir to it!
"Now my father is alone at home..." Third Brother Lin said.
"What does it mean alone at home. Everyone else is dead? And if he is a peaceful, good-hearted, and considerate of his grandchildren, I can endure it. But is he? Allowing him to come means you don't to live a good life. However, I do want to have a worry-free life!" Third Sister-in-law Lin stated.
"Third Brother, don't make your wife worry so much." Didn't need to ask, Lin Qing He stood on Third Sister-in-law's side.
If he let Father Lin come over, don't think about doing business here. The wasn't one to sit still.
"Sister, I know wife doesn't have it easy. But Eldest Brother and Second Brother are unreliable." Third Brother Lin sighed.
"What unreliable? You are all sons and you are the youngest. So they are unreliable? Well, there many grandchildren!" Third Sister-in-law Lin harrumphed.
"Alright, alright. I won't bring him over, alright? Sister and Brother-in-law came over and you deliberately make a fuss?" Third Brother Lin responded.
"If you were so straightforward, would I make a fuss with you?" Third Sister-in-law snorted. Then she went to make the dough. She called Lin Qing He to join her.
The two sisters-in-law went to work in the kitchen. Third Sister-in-law Lin chattered as she busied away: "Sister, don't blame me for being heartless and not wanting to care for the elderly. My in-laws don't have any merit on me. I really don't want to force myself. "
"Why would I blame you? If they are good, it's only right that you should respect them. They have no virtue, then paying your due of filial piety is enough." Lin Qing He replied.
If Father Zhou and Mother Zhou were like Father Lin and Mother Lin, then it would be lucky if send money back. However, the honest truth was that Mother Zhou was sometimes annoying, but she was really not those kind of evil mother-in-law.
Least of all Father Zhou. He never interfered with the lives of his sons. Nor would he be biased or unfair.
Even though he favored Zhou Qing Bai, Zhou Qing Bai earned everything by himself.
Later when Zhou Qing Bai came back, Mother Zhou had stuffed money over. That money was Zhou Qing Bai's allowance, which they hadn't spend. They saved it. Those were display respect to them. Since they can take the money out, it was their thoughts.
So Lin Qing He had no burden when taking them to the capital to respect them.
Occasionally Mother Zhou would feel wronged. She listened to Zhou Xiao Mei and asked if she didn't want to take her to the hot springs because she disdained her.
Lin Qing He did...
She was too nagging. Just one soak and she was at it on the whole road back. So she didn't take her.
"Don't you plan to move your household registration to the county city?" Lin Qing He asked.
"Move. We will move it after the New Year next year. There's enough money to move." Third Sister-in-law responded. She didn't plan to go back in the future. There was no point to.
"It's good idea to move it over. Pay attention and see if there are other good houses nearby," Lin Qing He suggested.
"Sister, do you want to buy one?" Third Sister-in-law asked.
"I'm at the the capital. I won't buy the ones here. Since you want to move over in the future, you can buy two more." Lin Qing He said.
The housing prices in the counties weren't as exaggerated as the big cities outside in the future. Still, it cost a lot of money. Now the shop was profitable, buy a house to keep for security. If the business is affected in the future, they will not be flustered.
"The properties are a lot more expensive now." Third Sister-in-law Lin said in a daze.
"If you have money, it's not a bad idea to buy two more and keep them. Maybe it will be more expensive in the future. You got to keep one for each of your sons," Lin Qing He stated.
Third Sister-in-law nodded, "Then I'll take a look. If there is something suitable, I will buy it."
Lin Qing He asked about her nieces' result.
"All of them are pretty average. Both me and their father aren't studious type. If they can reach that level, we'll let them keep going. It must be supported. But if they can't, it can't be helped. Just come out to help then," Third Sister-in-law Lin responded.
Lin Qing He nodded and said, "My third brother is simple and honest. Sometimes he can't wrap his head around. Don't be hold back with him and be fierce when you should."
Third Sister-in-law Lin curled her lips and smiled: "I usually don't quarrel with him. He have it hard. It's only this matter, I won't budge."
Before they lived through bitterness. Now the good days were in her hands. Who dare to disturb it, she will get anxious with them.
Lin Qing He was very satisfied after hearing that. Since Third Sister-in-law Lin was like this, she had no worries even when her brother was soft-hearted and honest.
They ate there in the evening. After dinner, they watched TV together. Once it was nine o'clock, they went to rest early as they had to take the morning train tomorrow.
"After a trip home, you are still the most pleasing to the eyes." Lin Qing He laid on the bed and said to Zhou Qing Bai.
Zhou Qing Bai raised his eyebrows, "There were unpleasing to the eye moment?"
Lin Qing He waved his hand: "Of course there is." Although it was rare, this man of hers can set off her anger occasionally. When she was angry, he looked befuddled. Like he can't figure out why she was angry.
A steel straight man that was as straight as a pen.
Zhou Qing Bai took her in his arms: "If you find me unpleasing to the eye, tell me. I will apologize to you."
Lin Qing He was full of fluff and hugged him back. She spoke: "Qing Bai, let's live the rest of our life well like this."
"En." Zhou Qing Bai hugged his wife. After so many years, the couple still feel the same. Maybe, even better.
After having breakfast the next morning, they caught the ride to the municipal city.
When they set foot on the the train, Hu Zi had just got off the train with Chen Shan Shan.
Only when he came over to his third uncle did he find out that his uncle and his aunt had went back. They just missed each other.
