Chapter 511: Don't come and ruin the money that will be left for daughter
In all fairness, the school food was indeed not bad. But if it was compared with the food at the dumpling shop, it was really incomparable.
Old Wang didn't come to eat often. Only occasionally.
Starting from this day, Zhou Gui Lai brought soup to his god-grandfather every day. The principal smiled and remarked, "You recognized a good god-family." Even biological son and grandson may not be able to compare to such care.
Naturally, Old Wang was comforted.
But really, after half a month of soup, old Wang felt that his bones were really better.
Seeing that the summer vacation was coming, Lin Qing He held some hesitation. It was rare for old Wang to come over for a meal. Lin Qing He said, "Uncle Wang, how about not going out during the summer vacation?"
"Don't worry so much. I'm really fine. I know my own body." Old Wang wanted to go out and said.
Wang Yuan merrily said, "My grandfather talked to me on the phone a while ago. He asked me about your health, Grandpa Wang."
They both have the same surname and he was his grandfather's childhood friend. However, his grandfather was in Hainan and hadn't planned to come back even until now. He said that it was too comfortable over there. Better than here.
"Tell your grandfather, I'm fine." Old Wang responded.
s
"How about we go explore Hainan once we're free in the future?" Lin Qing He directed at Zhou Qing Bai.
"Alright." Zhou Qing Bai nodded.
Lin Qing He grinned and looked at Wang Yuan and said, "Do you want to go together then?"
"It's okay to go together., I haven't seen my grandfather for a long time. But we will see at that time." Wang Yuan said.
Lin Qing He responded, "No rush. Later." Have to wait until they can legally buy the land. It will be 1987 or 1988. Now was still early.
While old Wang insisted on going out to explore. Lin Qing He didn't stop him. Just instructed Third to not take him too far.
Today it had entered June. It was quite hot.
Lin Qing He said to Hu Zi: "When going out and set up a stall, you have to find a shady place. You're baked until you almost turn into black charcoal."
Lin Qing He had high hope for Hu Zi. This nephew was really hardworking. Now he was familiar with hawking wares and was a good bargaining hand. Lin Qing He saw he made four hundred yuan in his highest month.
It was almost caught up with Qing Bai's dumpling shop.
"Don't worry, Aunt. I know." Hu Zi smiled.
"Tell your uncle to make some mung bean soup. Then go and scoop more." Lin Qing He continued.
"Okay." Hu Zi jollily nodded.
"Brother Hu Zi has an girlfriend now and fighting for their little family." Zhou Gui Lai commented.
Zhou Xuan looked at Gang Zi: "When will you go out and do it alone?"
"I want to do it now, but Aunt wants me to finish studying before letting me out." Gang Zi sighed and looked at his aunt.
"Study more or else you would regret when going out in the future." Lin Qing He said, "If you have good grades, you can go out and set up your own stall at this time next year."
Education was a must. The impact of education was deep and extensive. As for making money, there will be good opportunities to make money in the future, so no rush for now.
It was just that Hu Zi wasn't small anymore and he got a partner. It was why Lin Qing He let him go out to do it alone. As for Gang Zi, no hurry.
Hearing this, Gang Zi became excited: "If I get good grades, you'll let me go too?"
"Yes." Lin Qing He said: "It has to be good. But as far as your current performance is concerned, it's not good."
"Then I will work harder!" Gang Zi stated.
Zhou Xuan called Gang Zi to play basketball. Zhou Gui Lai didn't join them. Instead he stayed by his mom's side.
"What's the matter." Lin Qing He glanced at him. This kid used to be the most stupid one. Don't know how she was raised him, the more he grew up, the more sly he gets.
"Mom, I don't learn from my second brother. He wants to go to graduate school or something. I won't study. I plan to come out after graduation." Zhou Gui Lai laughed.
"And then." Lin Qing He appeared calm.
"I want to open a dumpling factory by myself. Which is similar to a popsicle factory. When it's done, freeze it and send it to the freezer of various shopping malls for sale." Zhou Gui Lai explained.
Lin Qing He was surprised. Staring at him, she spoke, "You want to open a dumpling factory?" It was the first time she knew her son got this ambition.
"Can't work?" Zhou Gui Lai froze and watched his mom.
Lin Qing He knew that her son wanted to discuss his dream with her. He wasn't little. He was sixteen. She can't cripple his enthusiasm. She said, "That's definitely no problem. If you want to do it, then your dad and I will support you. It's not easy. The difficulty isn't small right after you graduated. Although you studied economics and management, your qualifications are a bit lacking."
"The difficulty of opening a factory is definitely not small." Zhou Gui Lai nodded: "I know in my heart."
Lin Qing He internally said that she don't even know how to open a factory.
"Once you graduate, you will have to go out for a year. Then discuss about opening it. What do you think?" Lin Qing He asked.
Zhou Gui Lai knew that his mother didn't disagree. Even though she didn't say yes, he was still happy. He grinned: "That's no problem. I will gather experience for a year by myself after graduation."
Lin Qing He nodded and asked, "Why do you want to open a dumpling factory? Is other industry not better to do?"
"It's not about better to do. Isn't my dad running a dumpling shop? I think it's pretty good and follow his step. When the time comes, I'll ask him to be a technical guide." Zhou Gui Lai said.
"A technical guide as well?" Lin Qing He amusedly scolded. What technical guide was needed for making dumplings.
Since her son had the idea of starting a business and becoming his own boss, Lin Qing He approve. But he was young for the time being. Let's talk about it later.
When she went to bed at night, Lin Qing He talked about it with Zhou Qing Bai.
Zhou Qing Bai raised his eyebrows, and immediately said, "Let him make his own money."
It takes a lot of capital to open a factory. Of course he and his wife had a lot, but that's something that he intends to leave to his daughter.
Sons?
They can fight with their bare hands.
Lin Qing He: "...that's your son." He wants to do business and won't give some fund for it?
"Let him figure it out for himself. It's not that easy to start a factory." Zhou Qing Bai stated. Although he approve, his stance still remained the same. Don't come and ruin the money that will be left for daughter.
s
Lin Qing He didn't say anything. It was matter of the future. It was enough to mention it. Talk about it slowly afterwards.
"Business has improved a lot this year," remarked Zhou Qing Bai.
There was a bit of satisfaction in his voice.
Lin Qing He smiled. Last year, the business wasn't bad. The monthly income of all the shops was over 10,000. The monthly income of this year was almost 20,000. Which was indeed a lot better.

In mid-June, Lin Qing He was planning where to travel with Zhou Qing Bai. Zhou Gui Lai was also working on a travel strategy. It was rare chance for him take out his god-grandfather and grandfather to play. A strategy was a must.
Then Xu Sheng Mei came over this side.
She went directly to Zhou Er Ni and told Zhou Er Ni to stop selling goods to her brother.
Zhou Er Ni was perplexed: "You can come to get it, so why can't Sheng Qiang come to get it? What's more what would Sheng Qiang think when you come to me like this and not allow Sheng Qiang to get it?"
Xu Sheng Mei said: "Cousin, now you are married to Cousin-in-law who is so rich, why don't you need to care about this? Just leave him alone and cut off his supplies."
Xu Sheng Mei was so angry that she couldn't think of any plan. Otherwise she wouldn't come to find Zhou Er Ni.
Now her brother had opened a shop. According to her thoughts, her brother wouldn't be able to open a shop because of his temper. It was why she didn't stop him. Once he hit the south wall and know that a shop wasn't easily managed!
This was also the reason why she never came.
Unexpectedly, her brother actually opened this shop in partnership with Zhang Mei Lian. The business seems to be doing well.
Xu Sheng Mei kept enduring until she finally couldn't take it. Since she couldn't take some into her brother, she could only come and find Zhou Er Ni.
s
As long as she didn't give the goods to her brother, the shop can't be opened. If her brother has no money, Zhang Mei Lian will definitely not want to follow him.
Then there will be no need to continue to get entangled with Zhang Mei Lian.
Zhou Er Ni frowned: "What are you talking about? Sheng Qiang can finally be able to stand up by himself now and start a business. I heard that the quantity of goods was more than your side. It can be regarded as great result. And you don't want him to do it?"
Xu Sheng Mei didn't dare to bring up Zhang Mei Lian, so she only said: "His temperament can't do business. If this goes on, what should I do if something goes wrong? Cousin, would you take responsibility?"
"What do you mean?" Zhou Er Ni's face sank: "Wang Yuan's side is looking upon the fact that we're relatives to let Sheng Qiang to jump in and get the goods. Otherwise, he won't be able to make money. It is Sheng Qiang making money. If anything happen, you want to blame it on me and Wang Yuan?"
Xu Sheng Mei choked and responded, "I didn't mean that."
"Then what do you mean?" Zhou Er Ni said directly.
Xu Sheng Mei pursed her lips and spoke, "Cousin, this matter can't be explained clearly. In short, don't let Sheng Qiang open a shop. He can just go to my shop and get the goods when he wants to set up a stall or something."
"You are you and Sheng Qiang is Sheng Qiang. I think he is advancing now. Grandfather and Grandmother are happy to hear it. If he doesn't want to take the goods, he will come over and say it. Don't decide for him." Zhou Er Ni stated calmly.
"I'll tell you the truth. Don't tell other people." Xu Sheng Mei hesitated before saying.
"Then don't say it," Zhou Er Ni responded.
Xu Sheng Mei was frustrated. Wasn't it just marrying a rich man? Now she became someone who won't recognize six relatives!
"Cousin, you really can't supply goods to Qiang Zi anymore. Do you know who Qiang Zi partnered up with?" Xu Sheng Mei gritted through her teeth.
This was also the biggest reason why she dragged it until now. She didn't want to let old Zhou Family know that she had partnered with Zhang Mei Lian.
Right now, she had no choice but to say. Otherwise her brother would really married Zhang Mei Lian. It would be really drag her family down. How many green hats would he have to wear?
More importantly was that Zhang Mei Lian had aborted before. She been with her brother so long and hadn't gotten pregnant yet. Who knows if she can birth a baby!
"Who does he work with? Doesn't he run his own shop?" Zhou Er Ni frowned and looked at her.
"He didn't open it by himself. He partnered with Zhang Mei Lian. Zhang Mei Lian!" Xu Sheng Mei gritted her teeth.
Zhou Er Ni was stunned. This time she was really taken aback. Staring at Xu Sheng Mei, she said, "Zhang Mei Lian?"
Did she hear that right? This Zhang Mei Lian was Zhang Mei Lian from old Zhang Family whom lived next door to her fourth aunt?
"It's Zhang Mei Lian. The one from the old Zhang Family that love next door to my uncle." Xu Sheng Mei clarified.
Zhou Er Ni's face changed: "What happened? Why is Sheng Qiang entangled with her? Weren't you keeping an eye out!"
"How should I know?" Xu Sheng Mei turned her face away: "I just ran into it by accident. It's why I came here to look for you."
"You can directly talk to Sheng Qiang for this kind of thing. Don't tell me you don't know what kind of person is Zhang Mei Lian? Instead of going to Sheng Qiang and talking about it, why are you coming to me?" Zhou Er Ni responded.
"It's not that I haven't told Qiang Zi before. You know what kind of Zhang Mei Lian is. Her methods are extraordinary. She bewitched Qiang Zi. The two of them...they are now living together." Xu Sheng Mei said.
Zhou Er Ni's face changed.
"Zhang Mei Lian knew that my brother was the grandson of old Zhou family. So she approached my brother and is aiming for my brother's money. If not, she wouldn't be with my brother. Now the clothing store is profiting again, what will it be like? I have no choice but come over to find you." Xu Sheng Mei explained.
"It's useless for you to look for me. Sheng Qiang doesn't even listen to you. So how will he listen to me?" Zhou Er Ni replied.
"No. Cousin, as long as you get Cousin-in-law's garment factory to stop the goods for Sheng Qiang, he can't make any money. Then Mei Lian will leave him by himself and won't pester him anymore. He is your cousin. Ah, second cousin sister, you can't ignore him!" Xu Sheng Mei persuaded.
Zhou Er Ni stared at her and said, "How long has this happened?"
"I don't know. I encountered it after passing by." Xu Sheng Mei shook her head.
Zhou Er Ni spoke: "I have to talk to my fourth uncle and fourth aunt about this."
Xu Sheng Mei's face changed: "Can you not just tell Cousin-in-law about this matter? Why do you need to tell my uncle?"
"Of course you have to consult with Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt on such a big matter. Otherwise, do you think Zhang Mei Lian is so easy to send away? They both live together now. Do you think she would just forget it?" Zhou Er Ni uttered in displeasure.
"As long as Qiang Zi has no money, she will leave by herself." Xu Sheng Mei persisted.
"That's what you think? Cut off Sheng Qiang's supplies for no reason. Won't she know what's going on? Then there will be more trouble. Old Zhang Family lives next door to Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt. Will they let it rest at that time?" Zhou Er Ni coldly snorted.
s
"Can't you solve it in private? Cousin, you know that my uncle and aunt has a bad impression of Qiang Zi. Now there is Zhang Mei Lian and he is with her. I am afraid that they will cut off the relationship with Qiang Zi when hear this." Xu Sheng Mei quickly said.
"Then tell me, how are you going to solve it in private?" Zhou Er Ni said with a black face: "This can't work, that can't work. You are really make it hard on people!"
"Cousin..."
"You don't need to talk to me. Suddenly stopping the supply and Zhang Mei Lian will not let it drop when she find out. Then the community will have to a ruckus. What should I do about this? I have to ask my uncle and aunt on what to do before we discuss about how to solve it!" Zhou Er Ni waved her hand.
Prev ChapterNext ChapterReport chapterChapter 513: Not let her live well
No matter what was said, she couldn't persuade her. It made Xu Sheng Mei frustrated and angry.
It was clearly a matter of one sentence. Why did she have to make it so complicated? As long as her brother's supply stopped, the shop won't go on and Zhang Mei Lian will leave her brother.
Zhou Er Ni just won't listen.
"Go back. This matter has to wait until noon when I go to Fourth Uncle to have a meal. I will go discuss with Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt." Zhou Er Ni stated.
"Cousin, can't you give consideration for Qiang Zi? He is your biological cousin. You know what impression Uncle and Aunt have about Zhang Mei Lian. If they know, what will happen to my brother?" Xu Sheng Mei said.
"Either you solve this problem yourself or I help. When I help, it will definitely go through Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt." Zhou Er Ni declared.
She also had a stomach-full of objections about Xu Sheng Qiang's entanglement with Zhang Mei Lian.
Because Zhang Mei Lian was truly terrible. The whole community here knew that. Also, what king of people were old Zhang Family. Who in this area didn't know?
Xu Sheng Mei gritted her teeth. She was very upset, but what else can she do now? She can't keep watching it like this, otherwise her brother will marry Zhang Mei Lian. What to do then?
At noon, Zhou Er Ni and Wang Yuan went over for a meal.
s
Afterward Zhou Er Ni avoided other people and recounted this matter to her fourth uncle and fourth aunt.
Lin Qing He's face didn't move at all. For a hard-hearted person like her, the ties was cut on her side, whether it was Xu Sheng Mei or Xu Sheng Qiang. So what else can be said.
While Zhou Qing Bai's expression was so dark that it couldn't be any darker.
Lin Qing He took in his reaction. If Xu Sheng Qiang was in front of them, he would have to be beaten to death.
"Do you want to take care of this matter?" Lin Qing He said directly.
Zhou Qing Bai looked at his wife: "We can't let him be with Zhang Mei Lian."
Lin Qing He rolled her eyes: "Don't say this yet."
She looked at her youngest son and said, "Third, come here."
"What's the matter?" Zhou Gui Lai came over and said.
"Are there classes in the afternoon?" Lin Qing He asked.
"Two classes." Zhou Gui Lai answered.
"Two classes it is. When you get off, go find Xu Sheng Qiang." Lin Qing He instructed.
"Why are you looking for him?" Zhou Gui Lai wasn't willing to go: "I have nothing to say to him."
Although he was Xu Sheng Qiang's cousin, Zhou Gui Lai wasn't that familiar with Xu Sheng Qiang. He rarely interacted with Xu Sheng Qiang.
"He got together with Zhang Mei Lian." Lin Qing He said.
Zhou Gui Lai froze for a moment before looking at his dad and his sister Er Ni. Then turned back to his mom: "Mom, you aren't saying, this Zhang Mei Lian is the one from old Zhang Family from next door?"
"Otherwise, why would need your help?" Lin Qing He responded.
"What's going on?" Zhou Gui Lai hurriedly said, "You have to tell me clearly so I can seek him out more smoothly."
"Ask you Sister Er Ni." Lin Qing He waved her hand. She had to give classes in the afternoon. She was too occupied, so she went to the second floor to prepare for class.
Zhou Gui Lai got to know the situation from Zhou Er Ni and immediately said: "I must go and see. The situation still isn't clear!"
He didn't think the situation would be that simple. How could Zhang Mei Lian get entangled with Xu Sheng Qiang for no reason. If there was really no reason, what kind of fate was this?
He couldn't bear to break up couple.
Of course, Zhou Gui Lai didn't dare to say this. Otherwise, his dad could slap him judging by his face.
Zhou Er Ni knew Xu Sheng Qiang's address. He can ask Wang Yuan. After all, Wang Yuan's side would order a truck to deliver it.
It can be easily found out.
So Zhou Gui Lai caught a bus after school. Then he asked for directions on the way before arriving.
Sure enough, he saw Zhang Mei Lian in this shop. It was unknown where Xu Sheng Qiang went as he wasn't there.
"Why...why is it you?" Zhang Mei Lian's face became stiff when she saw him come in so openly.
"Why can't it be me? Aren't I a customer?" Zhou Gui Lai grinned. Then looked at the shop, and said: "The shop is managed well. From what Second Brother-in-law said, the business seems to be pretty good. "
Zhang Mei Lian wanted to quibble: "You came to the wrong place. I got the goods elsewhere and this shop is my own."
"Don't pretend. I know, you opened with Xu Sheng Qiang." Zhou Gui Lai said.
Zhang Mei Lian's face was pale. She wasn't pregnant yet, what should she do? If old Zhou family intervened forcibly, this matter come to an end.
Xu Sheng Qiang couldn't win over old Zhou Family. He won't be able to protect her.
"This side isn't close to our residential area at all. It's quite a detour. How did you and Xu Sheng Qiang get together?" Zhou Gui Lai asked as he took in the shop.
What Zhang Mei Lian wanted to know more now was how old Zhou family knew about this. Because when Wang Yuan sent someone to deliver it, she would even hide away and let Xu Sheng Qiang sort it in the store.
She didn't want to let the other side to know that she was with Xu Sheng Qiang. Unexpectedly, it was found out.
"It's fate between me and Qiang Zi. We both live together now." Zhang Mei Lian stated.
Zhou Gui Lai laughed and said, "It's useless to tell me this. Currently, no one would approve of you getting together. What kind of reputation do you have? Just randomly ask someone in our community and they can list it out. Do you think you and Xu Sheng Qiang will have an ending?"
"Old Zhou family is rich. But no matter how rich, can you forcibly separate me from Qiang Zi? Me being with Qiang Zi doesn't break the law nor kill anyone. Why can't we be together?" Zhang Mei Lian didn't hold back.
Zhou Gui Lai said: "You got a bad character and get into messy relationship with men."
Zhang Mei Lian refused to admit it, and said, "Did you see it with your own eyes or something? Those are nothing more than people repeating what other said!"
"Do you know Xu Sheng Mei? I heard that she has a good relationship with you but she still doesn't approve of it." Zhou Gui Lai mentioned.
"Xu Sheng Mei?" Zhang Mei Lian was taken by surprise. She gritted her teeth as if she had caught something, "Did Xu Sheng Mei go to old Zhou Family's side and talked about it?"
"Yes ah." Zhou Gui Lai nodded.
s
Zhang Mei Lian immediately became mad. Xu Sheng Mei couldn't separate her from Xu Sheng Qiang, so she went to old Zhou's house to get reinforcement.
This was really unwilling to let her live well!
She took good care of Xu Sheng Qiang. Took on the cooking and the likes. Now they were living together, she was doing everything a wife did. It was like this and Xu Sheng Mei still refused to approve of her being with Xu Sheng Qiang. Instead, she racked her brains to destroy it.
"From I see, old Zhou family shouldn't be played around by this niece!" Zhang Mei Lian gritted her teeth and sneered.
Prev ChapterNext ChapterReport chapterChapter 514: One hand give the money, the other give the good
Since Xu Sheng Mei won't let live well, then why should she help Xu Sheng Mei hide it!
"What do you mean?" Zhou Gui Lai asked with a sly smile.
He knew there must be something going on here. Zhang Mei Lian and Xu Sheng Mei must be friends. He won't believe they didn't since she somehow got together with Xu Sheng Qiang.
"You should know, I wanted to chase Huang Hu before." Zhang Mei Lian calmly said.
"And then." Zhou Gui Lai uttered.
"Xu Sheng Mei was very supportive of me. She wanted to send me to Huang Hu so that Huang Hu and I could be together. She told me a lot of flattering words. She said that Huang Hu got a countryside household registration and it is his blessing to marry me. What's the matter? When it comes to me and Sheng Qiang, she won't say that it is Sheng Qiang's blessing? What's more, she eagerly ran over to the old Zhou's house to get reinforcements?" Zhang Mei Lian sneered.
Zhou Gui Lai jollily stated, "I don't believe what you said."
"What is there to not believe. Sheng Qiang and I didn't have any encounter from the start. Didn't it happen because of Zhang Mei Lian? You know that she has a shop, right." Zhang Mei Lian already had the intention to not want Xu Sheng Mei to live well. So she got the guts to expose her, no?
"I know." Zhou Gui Lai nodded.
"She partnered up with me and opened that shop. See. She knew my old Zhang Family's repuatation and still opened that shop with me. Xu Sheng Qiang and I met in that shop and also got together in that place. We were together since last year. She only found out during the New Year and kicked me out. So Sheng Qiang came out with me. You know the rest. Sheng Qiang and I come out to open this shop." Zhang Mei Lian said.
Xu Sheng Mei didn't do anything too overboard. She had once helped her and wanted to pair her with Huang Hu.
Knowing that old Zhou Family had a bad impression of her, she partnered with her to open a shop was another matter.
It didn't need be a lot because of these two matters can make old Zhou Family have a bad view of Xu Sheng Mei.
Zhang Mei Lian saw Zhou Gui Lai was still smiling and couldn't tell anything: "I'm telling the truth about these things. Otherwise, you can wait for Sheng Qiang to come back. He was called out to set up a stall by me. He's very motivated now!"
"Okay, I know. I will tell the truth when I go back." Zhou Gui Lai nodded.
"What did Xu Sheng Mei say over there?" Zhang Mei Lian quickly asked.
"She sought out my sister Er Ni, the proprietress of the garment factory, and wanted her cut off the supply of your side." Zhou Gui Lai didn't hold back and sold Xu Sheng Mei completely.
With such a cruel heart, why shouldn't he sell her? Didn't she want to push Zhang Mei Lian to Hu Zi before? Quite a capability.
Now being with Xu Sheng Qiang was perfect!
Zhou Gui Lai went back. While Zhang Mei Lian was steaming mad. Xu Sheng Qiang came back just after six o'clock. When he came back, he saw her crying there.
Xu Sheng Qiang froze on the spot: "What's wrong? Someone bullied you?"
"That's right? I'm going to be bullied to death. This life can't keep going. Qiang Zi, if you want to split with me, then split. Anyway, I won't regret being with you!" Zhang Mei Lian sobbed.
"What are you saying? You and I are just short of getting the certificate now. Why mention split? Who else can you marry after the split?" Xu Sheng Qiang hurriedly comforted.
"Then why does your sister hurt us so much? She won't be reconciled unless we separate!" Zhang Mei Lian cried as she said.
"My sister came here to scold you?" Xu Sheng Qiang's face was black. Xu Sheng Mei often came here to scold Zhang Mei Lian. Xu Sheng Qiang knew about this.
"If she just came to scold me, I would endure. Who told me to like you? She is also my sister-in-law. Can I not let her be? But if she wants to beat or scold me, I will take it. You were present. When she yelled at me, did I even talk back? She is that overboard!" Zhang Mei Lian felt aggrieved and cried.
After Xu Sheng Qiang knew what had happened, his expression was extremely ugly. He went to look for his sister without saying a word.
After Xu Sheng Mei came out and saw his behavior, she knew what was going on and said, "Why are you looking for me?"
"Does my matter need your intervention?" Xu Sheng Qiang slapped her, Xu Sheng Mei was stunned.
In fact, when she was in the village before, she was beaten by her brother. But he hadn't dared to beat her for so many years. Now he beat her for a rotten good like Zhang Mei Lian?
Xu Sheng Mei trembled with anger: "You dare to hit me? You dare to hit me!"
"I hit you. Don't think because you marry into Zhao Family, I won't dare to hit you. You don't need to get involved in my affairs. I talked about Mei Lian and my matter a good few times. And you still dare to intervene? If you dare to intervene in this matter, I will tell Zhao Family that your baby was deliberately miscarried and framed Zhao Family!" Xu Sheng Qiang threatened.
Xu Sheng Mei staggered and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? That baby was an accident!"
"Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are. You finally married into Zhao Family. You depended on that golden egg. Would you not protect it? If it wasn't deliberate, then what was it!" Xu Sheng Qiang coldly snorted.
"No matter what you say, it was an accident." Xu Sheng Mei calmed her mind and declared. When she did it, her heart was torn. She did it to allow who to come to the capital. Now her brother turned around and threaten her with this!
"I don't care whether it was accidental or not. If you continue to get involve in my business in the future and go over to that side to stop my goods, I will go tell Zhao Family. See what they think then!" Xu Sheng Qiang stated.
Xu Sheng Mei was so angry that she nearly went over and slap him!
"I won't care about your life. Don't mix into mine. Mei Lian and I are doing extremely well!" Xu Sheng Qiang finished this and went back.
Xu Sheng Mei was vexed. She came over to find Zhou Er Ni the next day and asked why Zhou Er Ni sold her.
Zhou Er Ni looked at her with indifferent eyes: "In the past, you wanted to make Zhang Mei Lian and Hu Zi an item. During them time she pursued Hu Zi, did you encourage her from behind?"
Xu Sheng Mei was stunned. Her fire extinguished like ice water poured over. She almost couldn't stand steadily!
This was what she worried about the most. She still wished for a fluke. Unexpectedly, Zhang Mei Lian talked about it!
She hurriedly said: "No...no. How could I not know what kind of person is? How could I put Zhang Mei Lian with Hu Zi? Is she talking nonsense?"
"You had partnered up with Zhang Mei Lian. The reason Sheng Qiang got entangled with her is because they met at your shop." Zhou Er Ni continued to state indifferently.
All these things were recounted by Zhou Gui Lai when he returned yesterday.
"No...it's not..." Xu Sheng Mei still wanted to deny, but she couldn't explain.
"Don't come here. Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt don't want to see you anymore. I also don't want to see you anymore." Zhou Er Ni said flatly: "As for business, it'll remain the same. One hand give the money and the other deliver the goods."
Prev ChapterNext ChapterReport chapterChapter 515: Very low key
Xu Sheng Mei left with a pale face. According to her character, she must hurriedly go to old Zhou's house to explain.
But now she dare not go over.
Zhou Er Ni didn't even give her an extra look.
This incident had touched Zhou Family's bottom line.
Want to make Hu Zi and Zhang Mei Lian an item? Thankfully, Hu Zi was honest and didn't know how to use these tricks. Otherwise, if he really had something to do with Zhang Mei Lian, then how will they deal with this matter?
What was her intention? Deliberately want to give old Zhou's side a stab!
Old Zhou Family had never done her wrong and this was how she repaid old Zhou Family. Who would like this interact with her? One would never know which day they will be stabbed in the back.
Lin Qing He went to work as usual. Completely unaffected. When she came here at noon, Zhou Qing Bai had forgotten to stew the soup.
"You forgot to stew the soup. Don't want a daughter anymore, right?" Lin Qing He gave him an displeased eye-roll.
"I'm going to stew it now." Zhou Qing Bai smilingly said.
"Don't stew it. Didn't you soak seaweed? Just cook a seaweed pork rib soup." Lin Qing He said.
"En." Zhou Qing Bai responded. He began to chop ribs and cook a seaweed rib soup.
Not long after, Zhou Er Ni and Wang Yuan came over. Lin Qing He mentioned, "A lot of dried seaweed came in this month. Take some to that side. This seaweed is very nutritious as a soup, so drink more."
"Okay." Zhou Er Ni merrily nodded.
"Why do I feel that my wife isn't fat? I saw Third Sister is a lot fatter." Wang Yuan said.
"San Ni is indeed a lot fatter, but Er Ni isn't bad. Her month is short. She's not lacking in nutrition. It's just the fetus growing, rather than her gaining flesh." Lin Qing He responded.
Wang Yuan grinned and then looked at Er Ni's belly.
Zhou Er Ni dismissed: "You go and set the tableware."
"Okay." Wang Yuan went to set the bowls and chopsticks.
Zhou Er Ni told Lin Qing He about Xu Sheng Mei's arrival this morning.
Lin Qing He said indifferently: "Don't worry about her. This side have cut ties with her."
She never had any hope for Xu Sheng Mei. But this incident had refreshed her understanding of Xu Sheng Mei.
She had never given any good face to Xu Sheng Mei siblings. This, she admitted. But honestly, other than her, everyone else was nice to her.
Before, when Hu Zi and Gang Zi heard about her and Zhao Jun's matter, they even went with Second and beat him into the hospital. How much they were on her side?
But she knew exactly what kind of person Zhang Mei Lian was and she still wanted to match her with Hu Zi. This intention was really vicious.
In her heart, did she take this side seriously?
So when Third came back with this news yesterday, she spoke of it in front of the family after dinner.
There was no need to prove it. Zhang Mei Lian and Xu Sheng Qiang being together was the best evidence.
Wasn't it because she was close to Xu Sheng Mei that she met Xu Sheng Qiang and allowed Zhang Mei Lian and Xu Sheng Qiang be like tortoise setting eyes on mung bean.
Speaking of it, it was self-inflicted. There was nothing to say.
What happened last night caused her Qing Bai to be thoroughly disappointed. So her family Qing Bai made a decision. Treat it like they don't know these matters. Old Zhou family won't interfere with old Xu family's affairs!
The sentence was clear and distinct. There was nothing to debate about.
Wang Yuan will provide the goods as usual. There was no need to stop supplying. After all, they were also coming to get the goods. Only that connection. As for the rest, they won't get involved.
Zhou Er Ni nodded. Then she hesitated, "Grandfather and Grandmother's side don't know about it yet."
"Don't talk about it over there. Those two siblings dare not come over now." Lin Qing He said.
Father Zhou and Mother Zhou's age wasn't small. Their bones were still healthy, but if they knew that their granddaughter wanted to give a stab and their grandson was living together with someone who had abortion and messy relationship history, they won't be able to take it.
Don't use the siblings' matter to trouble the two elderly. Let them be at ease.
Though they didn't tell Father Zhou and Mother Zhou, Lin Qing He told Zhou Xiao Mei when they took a bath in the bathhouse.
It must be mentioned to Zhou Xiao Mei, otherwise she would be in the dark.
Zhou Xiao Mei was stunned: "Huh? She actually did such a thing that harms others and herself?"
"Yes. Now Xu Sheng Qiang has gotten involved with Zhang Mei Lian and she had Xu Sheng Qiang in her grip. Xu Sheng Mei is seeking a solution in a panic. If not, we still wouldn't know she had done so much behind our back." Lin Qing He said flatly.
Zhou Xiao Mei reddened with anger: "Where did we do her wrong? Where!"
To actually wanted to match such a thing to Hu Zi. If it had succeed, how can her fourth sister-in-law explain to her second sister?
Good wife meant less misfortune for husband. Marrying a wife like that was simply extremely unlucky!
"Don't be angry anymore. Just letting you know so you can keep in mind. Our family will never recognize these relatives anymore. Your fourth brother won't care about Xu Sheng Qiang and Zhang Mei Lian." Lin Qing He spoke.
Qing Bai was understanding in this matter. If not, she would have to fight with him. But this kind man was really sad this time. Otherwise, why would he not even ask?
Zhou Xiao Mei responded, "It's right to not care. My eldest sister is really a failure. To raise and teach them into this!"
"It's also due to me bringing her to the capital in the past." Lin Qing He shook his head.
"Fourth Sister-in-law, don't think like that. It's not that you want to bring her. My eldest sister brought her over. What's more, when she was brought to here, she was told to study but she didn't. Just watching a store and she ended up with Zhao Jun. What did this have to do with you!" Zhou Xiao Mei comforted.
Lin Qing He said: "Let's not talk about this. How is your cousin's business?"
Zhou Xiao Mei was still angry, but the topic had changed and answered, "It's okay. I heard Da Lin said that they made more than 200 last month."
Lin Qing He nodded: "It'll be fine as long as the business continues."
Zhou Xiao Mei said: "This is the beginning. It will be better later. As long as they manage it well, it won't do badly. But my cousin-in-law's stingy and demeaning temperament..."
"No need to bother about this. Society will teach her to be a human being." Lin Qing He said calmly.
In the adult world, "counseling" was the highest law. Only by "counseling" can one live a good life and silently make a fortune.
Lin Qing He didn't have such a personality. When she was in the village, basically everyone in the village knew that she had a good life and that she had no money in her hands. She could spend more than she had.
The situation was different. So far no one knew that the shops they owned were bought by the couple.
They thought it was rented. At most, they knew that the dumpling shop belonged to her family.
Not many people even knew about the shops were going to be open.
In fact, they were very low-key.

Through the scrubbing bath, Zhou Xiao Mei got to know Zhou Xiao Mei's matter. After Zhou Xiao Mei went back, she complained to Su Da Lin.
Of course, the couple said it behind closed doors.
Zhou Xiao Mei also didn't dare let her parents to hear her, otherwise what to do when they collapse from anger?
After hearing this, Su Da Lin frowned.
"If they find you for anything, you can't make the decision by yourself. Remember to tell me, understand?" Zhou Xiao Mei said.
"No... they won't... come to... find me." Su Da Lin shook his head.
Zhou Xiao Mei's mind reacted and immediately harrumphed, "Dare to look down on you? See how far them siblings can go!"
Thinking of this, she became even more angry. Both Xu Sheng Mei and Xu Sheng Qiang looked down on her Da Lin because of his stuttering. Her Da Lin was such a nice person!
Su Da Lin smiled and said, "You...you don't... dislike me...is...enough..."
"Why should I dislike you. You're my man. I like you." Zhou Xiao Mei gave him an eye-roll.
Su Da Lin grinned. He was grateful to his wife. For so many years, she didn't dislike him for having a stupid mouth. Not only did she not dislike him, but also protected him a lot.
And also gave birth to two sons and two daughters for him. Su Da Lin truly love and appreciate his wife.
"Bless...husband, benefit...son." Su Da Lin smilingly looked at his wife.
Zhou Xiao Mei blushed: "How can I be as good as you say? I don't know how to do anything. I just like to follow my fourth sister-in-law."
However following her fourth sister-in-law was the right path.
Su Da Lin grinned.
In an instant, it had entered July. The summer vacation was welcomed. On the second day of this summer vacation, Zhou Gui Lai and his two grandfathers, old Wang and Father Zhou, embarked on the traveling train.
Though it was only '84, many places were available for tourism. Lin Qing He had seen her youngest's travel guide. The places they will go were acceptable to Father Zhou and old Wang, so she let him be.
She just made sure he had enough money. When travelling, money was indispensable.
Lin Qing He was also on summer vacation. She had it all planned out. Go to Dalian to explore. If there is any, she will order dried seafood there. Naturally, she will keep ordering from the south. Just can't have only supplier. Or it would be easy to be slaughtered.
"I will leave everything at home to you." Lin Qing He said to Second.
Zhou Xuan dispiritedly responded: "Then you guys come back soon. I want to spend a few days off."
"Your behavior." Lin Qing He gave him an amused eye-roll. Before, she really thought that her second child, the dog-headed strategist, would go into business. Unexpectedly, he developed a gentle aura.
Then, regardless of Second's complaint, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai also set off the next day and went straight to Dalian to explore.
Mother Zhou came over a few days later with a killed chicken and said, "How long will your parents go? Your grandfather and god-grandfather have both gone to play. Can you handle it all by yourself?"
"It's okay." Zhou Xuan swiftly wrapped dumplings as he answered.
Aunt Ma jollily uttered, "Young Xuan is quick and won't need anyone to worry about him. But you can rest assured. Once I wash these dishes, I will help him make dumplings."
"Really trouble you, old sister." Mother Zhou smilingly said.
She was very polite to Aunt Ma. Her grandson was able to date a girl from the capital was all thanks to Aunt Ma.
"What trouble could there be. I'm happy to work here. With something to do, I won't be bored." Aunt Ma responded.
Mother Zhou grinned: "Old Sister, you work away. I just came over to see. There's a little granddaughter at home, I will go back first."
"Okay, go ahead, Old sister. Don't worry over here." Aunt Ma swiftly answered.
Mother Zhou left. Aunt Ma washed the dishes and cleaned her hands. Then she came to help make dumplings and said to Zhou Xuan: "Your grandmother is also pretty good. Really dotes you younger generations a lot."
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "My grandmother loves to worry. It's fine to leave the chicken for their side to eat and she still bring it over."
His grandmother treated them brothers really well. It was just that she was a bit long-winded. His mom couldn't stand it. Of course, the filial piety that should be given was never shorted.
Aunt Ma said: "It's the elderly's thoughts. She is also happy to see that you like to eat."
Zhou Xuan nodded.
Seeing that it was almost time, he took out the chicken and chopped it. Then he fried half and stewed half into soup.
Zhou Er Ni and Wang Yuan came over. Zhou Xuan first served his sister Er Ni a bowl of chicken soup with chicken thighs and said: "Second Brother-in-law, this is to nourish my sister Er Ni. I will soon become a professional cook. Is there any benefit for me."
"What benefits do you want? When it's birthed in the future, it have to call you uncle." Wang Yuan said.
Zhou Xuan laughed: "That's right, have call me uncle. But uncle can't compare to father."
Wang Yuan jollily said, "Make your sister more delicious stuff. I will take you to the hot springs this year. I will pay for it."
Zhou Xuan responded, "Alright. I added another dish today. Grandmother brought it here. I cooked half as soup. The rest will be eaten fried with mushrooms.
When Hu Zi, Gang Zi, Si Ni, and the others came over, all five dishes were on the table.
Chen Shan Shan also came over to eat today.
But it didn't matter if there was one more or one less, there were enough mantou.
"You're almost a chef now." Hu Zi grinned.
"That's right, You have to learn something from me. Otherwise when Sister Shan Shan is in postnatal confinement in the future, how will you take care of her?" Zhou Xuan said.
Chen Shan Shan blushed: "It's still early."
"My sister Er Ni also said that it is early. Now look, is it early?" Zhou Xuan pointed out. Speaking of Zhou Er Ni, he brought up Zhou San Ni: "When is San Ni's due date?"
"What? You're starting to care about these?" Zhou Er Ni amusedly scolded.
"Of course, I have to be concerned. By then, Sister San Ni will have a baby. Who will take care of it? Someone will have to watch the shop," Zhou Xuan said.
If it isn't during this summer vacation, then he didn't need to worry. If it is, then he had to make plans first.
"I had asked Sister San Ni. In October, I will assist Sister San Ni during the postnatal confinement. You don't have to worry about it." Zhou Si N answered. Then she turned to Zhou Er Ni, "Sister, don't worry. When you are in postnatal confinement, I will go and assist."
"That's wonderful." Zhou Xuan grinned.
Since Zhou Si Ni will take it on, there was really nothing to worry about. Whether it was cooking or doing other tasks, Zhou Si Ni was completely fine. She was very quick-handed.
"After assisting your sister well. Brother-in-law will buy you a gold ring for you to keep as a dowry in the future." Wang Yuan said.
"No need for that. Brother-in-law, you are too polite. It is only right to assist my sister during the postnatal confinement. It was the same with my eldest sister." Zhou Si Ni was taken aback and said quickly.
Prev ChapterNext ChapterReport chapterChapter 517: Strong mouth
Though Zhou Si Ni didn't have a match herself, she was familiar with the matter of attending postnatal confinement.
Zhou Da Ni's postnatal confinement was attended to by her in the past and she had did a wonderful job. What's more, they were sisters. Nowadays, family planning had been implemented. The number of children that can be born was limited. If there weren't many births, then this will be the only time in a lifetime.
Then she must help.
"Are you worried that Second Brother-in-law can't afford a ring? Just keep it." Zhou Xuan jollily said.
Zhou Er Ni, who knew how much her husband had saved, just smiled.
However, there was something different about Zhou Er Ni's belly.
She was pregnant on the two days of her wedding night. So April, May, June, and July. After July, her belly began to grow.
One day, one look.
Zhou Er Ni had no experience. Neither did Wang Yuan. They thought it was normal. Once entered August, Zhou Er Ni's bump was very apparent.
When they came to that side to eat, Zhou Xiao Mei looked at it and said in amazement, "How is your belly so big so quick?"
"Fourth Aunt said that Er Ni is nurturing the babies rather than gaining flesh. All the nutrition is absorbed by the little one inside." Wang Yuan smilingly responded.
"That's not right. It's only four months. This bump looks almost five months. Five months may not be as big as you." Zhou Xiao Mei remarked.
She had given four births. Her experience can be described as veteran. According to her eyes, Zhou Er Ni's belly was very big.
"It's still alright?" Zhou Er Ni looked at her stomach and said.
Because it was summer and was hot, she wore less as she was afraid of heat due to her pregnancy. This made her bump obvious.
When Mother Zhou came back from feeding the chicken, Zhou Xiao Mei called out to her: "Mother, come and see Er Ni's belly. Why is it so big so fast?"
"It's been more than four months. It's normal." Mother Zhou said as she examined.
"This is growing a bit too fast ah." Zhou Xiao Mei said. Looking at Zhou Er Ni, she asked: "How's your appetite?"
"Pretty good appetite." Zhou Er Ni depressingly sighed. This appetite was really a big problem. Can take in a lot.
Less than an hour and a half after eating a meal, she was hungry again. She ate two apples a day and other fruits as well. But it couldn't make a dent.
So from time to time, she had to go to Zhou Xuan's side and order something to eat.
Or nibble on a corn on the cob or eating mantou with a plate of fried pork with mushrooms over there. In short, she can really eat.
Wang Yuan said: "No problem, right?"
"No problem. Don't listen to your youngest aunt. Surprise at little things. She had given birth to four." Mother Zhou responded.
"Honestly, her appetite is huge. I have to get up in the middle of the night to get something to eat." Wang Yuan commented.
Starting this month, his wife would wake up hungry in the middle of the night. Then he got up and cooked an egg noodle for her to eat. She could eat it very heartily.
Although she ate so much, she didn't grow much flesh. It was all absorb into her belly.
"It's okay now. You can eat when you are hungry. It was not easy back when we were pregnant. When I was pregnant with Eldest, our family was so poor and I can't withstand the hunger. Old man had to go hunt a pheasant back in the middle of the night and only then something was cooked for me," Mother Zhou recounted.
Those days were really not easy. Old man hadn't had it easy either. Old man was good to her though. He would always find food for her when she was pregnant. When he was young and was working as a hired help. he couldn't bear to eat the pancake he received. He would bring it back to her to eat.
"Just say what you want to eat. Grandmother will cook it for you here. You caught up to the good time." Mother Zhou said.
"Then have cornmeal pancake tonight?" Zhou Er Ni suggested.
"That's not difficult" Mother Zhou responded.
But she didn't need to move her hands. Zhou Xiao Mei made it. The cornmeal pancake were tasty.
Not only cornmeal pancake, but also tomato and egg soup, braised pork ribs, etc.. All were good dishes.
"When you go back, take some tomatoes back to eat. If you are hungry in the middle of the night, you can also make a tomato and egg soup to eat." Zhou Xiao Mei said.
"Okay." Wang Yuan responded and then took a small basket of tomatoes back.
Zhou Xuan had personally experienced Zhou Er Ni's big appetite. How would make another extra meal for her.
Zhou San Ni's belly was not too small. Because her fourth uncle and fourth aunt weren't here, she came over here to take a look.
She came here by herself. Li Ai Guo got to watch the shop. It was fine to go by herself. Although Zhou San Ni's pregnancy took a bit of twists and turns, she felt that she was in good health.
"Sister San Ni, are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat." Zhou Xuan said upon her arrival.
Aunt Ma was amused: "Young Xuan, if this goes on, your wife will be blessed in the future."
Zhou Xuan smiled: "That's a must. Our old Zhou family has a tradition of loving our wives."
Zhou San Ni smiled and said: "I was still a little worried. But now, it seems that I had been worrying too much." Er Wa took good care of the shop.
"What problem could there be? Last year Third managed it for the whole summer vacation by himself." Zhou Xuan replied.
Then he scooped a bowl of dumplings for Zhou San Ni. It was shepherd's purse dumplings. He spoke: "Sister San Ni, eat first."
"I have eaten before coming. No need to give it to me." Zhou San Ni hurriedly said.
"You have a big belly now, you must get hungry fast. Sister Er Ni's belly is smaller than you and she have to come over and eat two or three times a day. I heard that my second brother-in-law has to get up in the middle of the night and cook a large bowl of noodles for her." Zhou Xuan mentioned.
Zhou Er Ni was surprised: "Sister Er Ni's month is still small, right?" Her's wasn't small. It had been more than seven months and the bump was a little big. But Er Ni hadn't reach four months for long, right?
She had a good appetite at that time, but she wasn't too hungry. It was only recently that she couldn't help but wake up in the middle of the night to look for food.
"More than four months, but she can eat a lot." Zhou Xuan merrily said.
Zhou San Ni sat there. After eating her dumplings, she came to the clothing store to see Zhou Er Ni.
She had been here before and knew the location. Because it was a bit far from the dry good shop, she hadn't drop by for a while.
Zhou Er Ni saw how much plumper Zhou San Ni became and smiled: "San Ni, I will not be able to recognize you later."
Zhou San Ni's attention was attracted by her stomach: "You're only four months or so along, why is your bump so obvious?"
"Grandmother said every woman is different. Some bumps become apparent quickly, and some are late." Zhou Er Ni responded.
Zhou San Ni nodded: "I heard from Er Wa that you have a particularly good appetite. So why aren't you fatter? I have gained some degree of weight. I have to buy new clothes. Quite a cost.
Zhou Er Ni said: "I do. This little one absorbed it all."
As Zhou Er Ni spoke, she went to wash two apples. One for her self and one for Zhou San Ni: "Have you eaten more apples?"
"Yes. I eat it every day." Zhou San Ni nibbled on the apple and responded, "I just ate a bowl of dumplings at Er Wa's side."
The two sisters took a look at each other's stomachs and then both felt helpless. Their mouths were strong.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai, who went to Dalian and other places to find the suppliers, didn't know these things. There was indeed a supplier in Dalian.
However, this source wasn't as good as the one in the south. Still, there were many varieties. It was better than nothing.
They ordered more than two thousand yuan worth of good and stored in the space. Then she asked the boss for a phone number. Knowing that they were from the capital city, he told them to simply call to request the quantity and he'll arrange it and send it over.
A customer that can come directly to place an order of two thousand yuan! The boss naturally wanted to keep this big customer.
But he never thought Lin Qing He had placed orders with the owner of Southern Seafood. It was during the late period, 4,000 was the starting worth. At the end of last year, they ordered more than 5,000 worth over. At that time, she sold majority of the goods at the end of the year.
The couple stayed here for a while before catching the train to hang out in other places.
Lin Qing He wanted to set up real estate in a few front borders. These were all assets in the future era of sky-high housing prices.
What's more, when they travel and relax, they would have their own property to live in.
Zhou Qing Bai accompanied his wife and wandered around in a relaxing pace. He also followed his wife to see the scenery of the country.
They hadn't gone back to their hometown this year. The development in their hometown was very good. Whether it was her brother or Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law, they made great progress.
It lasted until twenty-something of August. There was one week left in the summer vacation. The couple set out on the return journey in content.
This year, they didn't go resell. Her Qing Bai said no. Lin Qing He felt it was a pity, but since he said no, then they won't.
So far, the combined income of several shops had exceeded 20,000. Which wasn't a small sum in later generations. Let alone now. So they can stop. It was good to spend their extra time on traveling.
When Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai came back, Zhou Xuan almost cried with joy.
Having been a chef for more than a month, Zhou Xuan felt that his hair was stained with the smell of the kitchen.
"Third hasn't come back yet." Lin Qing He merrily asked.
"Haven't returned yet." Zhou Xuan replied.
Zhou Qing Bai counted three hundred yuan for him. After receiving the money, Zhou Xuan immediately felt that the hard work of more than a month was worth it!
He had been thinking about it for a long time. He wanted this guitar in the mall but couldn't bear to buy it.
This time his dad was generous and gave him three hundred yuan!
"Dad, I'm leaving this to you. By the way, Sister Er Ni will come over for a snack later. Cook her two corn on the cob in advance." Zhou Xuan said. Then he impatiently rode the bicycle to buy the guitar he was thinking of for so long.
"Stinky boy." Lin Qing He amusedly scolded. She didn't have time to ask anything else.
She didn't leave either. She went directly to the second floor to rest. Zhou Qing Bai grabbed the ladle and started cooking. He cooked two corn cobs for Zhou Er Ni.
Zhou Er Ni came over after three o'clock in the afternoon. As soon as she arrived, she saw her fourth uncle. Immediately, she happily said, "Fourth uncle, you're back."
"En." Zhou Qing Bai had gone to explore and his mood became different. He brought out two corn cobs for his niece and said, "Want to have something else?"
"No need. Two corn cobs are enough." Zhou Er Ni embarrassed responded.
Zhou Qing Bai took a look at her belly. Although he had three sons, he never actually witnessed the changes of a woman's pregnant belly.
Usually when he came back, the child was born. So he didn't feel anything. But because she was pregnant, it wasn't surprising that her stomach easily got so big.
He looked at the second floor. Don't know when his wife will get pregnant. If she was pregnant, he would make whatever she wanted to eat.
"Now that the stomach is so big, don't go to work." Zhou Qing Bai said as he made dumplings.
"You don't have to worry, Fourth Uncle. I don't have any problems. If I don't let me go to work, I don't know what to do on my own." Zhou Er Ni shook her head.
She didn't want to watch TV at home all day long. She didn't want to go to Wang Yuan's clothing factory, because she had nothing to do after going there.
So it was best to come here to work. After all, it was quite easy. There was something to occupy her. How great it was to be not idle?
"If you feel uncomfortable, you have to say it." Zhou Qing Bai said.
"I know." Zhou Er Ni nodded.
After eating two corn on the cob, she went back to the clothing store first.
As for Lin Qing He, she was sleeping deeply on the second floor. She only got up in the evening and felt completely refreshed.
Traveling was like this. Only the feeling of returning home felt comfortable.
Seeing his wife coming down, Zhou Qing Bai gave her a bowl of soup to drink first. Lin Qing He looked at Second who was tuning the guitar at the door as she drank the soup. She spoke, "Did you collect the dried seafood on time?"
"Yes. I brought Hu Zi with me." Zhou Xuan replied in spare time.
Lin Qing He didn't say anything then and drank her own soup. Hu Zi and the others soon arrived.
Zhou Er Ni and Wang Yuan didn't come over. They went to Father Zhou and Mother Zhou's side for dinner.
Lin Qing He went to the bathhouse with Zhou Qing Bai after eating. On the way, they called Zhou Xiao Mei and Su Da Lin to go together.
Now she was used to the big bathhouse, the bathhouse was really comfortable to take a bath. The unrestrained pouring kind.
"Fourth Sister-in-law, you went for a explore with my fourth brother and he became a lot tanner. Why aren't you?." Zhou Xiao Mei asked.
"I'm did too." Lin Qing He answered.
"I can't tell." Zhou Xiao Mei responded. Her fourth sister-in-law had reached this age, and figure and skin look better than a 30-year-old. Truly enviable.
On the contrary, Zhou Xiao Mei herself. She had four children and with plus Su Da Lin's excellent culinary this figure was gone forever.
"Xu Sheng Mei didn't dare to come over this summer. Mother had asked about it." Zhou Xiao Mei mentioned.
"So be it. Just find an excuse." Lin Qing He said indifferently.
Zhou Xiao Mei nodded. She knew that Xu Sheng Mei didn't have that face to come over now, Then let her live her life in Zhao Family.
As for Xu Sheng Qiang, Zhou Xiao Mei wanted to say a few words and get him to break up with Zhang Mei Lian. Then again, forget it.
His elder sister's words were said to deaf ears. What use her's? What's more, it was self-inflicted evil.
If Xu Sheng Mei hadn't got together with Zhang Mei Lian, how could Xu Sheng Qiang know her? And would all these matters happen?
Did it yourself, then take it on by yourself.
After comfortably taking a shower, the two couples went back to their homes.
Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai headed directly back to the apartment building.
However, they ran into Zhang Mei Lian in the apartment building. Zhang Mei Lian glanced at them and lowered her head.
Whether it was Lin Qing He or Zhou Qing Bai, they didn't give a glance as they returned home. Not a word was said.
Prev ChapterNext ChapterReport chapterChapter 519: Return to hometown to marry
The two of them went back. While Zhang Mei Lian turned and entered old Zhang's house.
Mrs. Zhang just saw it and asked quickly: "What's the matter? Why didn't you say hello to them?"
Before, she unsuccessfully buttered up to Lin Qing He since she didn't bother with her at all. But now, it was different.
This sister-in-law, Zhang Mei Lian came home to grab her household registration book. Why? She was about to apply for a marriage certificate with it.
Mrs. Zhang only found out now that Zhang Mei Lian dated old Zhou Family's nephew.
Now it reached the point of getting married.
From then on, old Zhou Family will be their in-laws.
Mrs. Zhang was overjoyed. They were in-laws. They have to arrange a position for her!
Zhang Mei Lian curled her lips and said, "Sister-in-law, don't implement those ideas."
"What are you saying? We're going to become in-laws with old Zhou's family, what happened to your sister-in-law going to ask for a position!" Old Madam Zhang was feeding her precious baby grandson and coldly snorted.
She felt that old Zhou Family's nephew could marry her daughter was simply his blessing accumulated from the previous life. One must know that the boy got countryside's household registration.
Her daughter was on the losing end after going back to his hometown with him to get a marriage certificate.
What was wrong with asking for a position with old Zhou Family?
"The relationship between the old Zhou Family and Xu Sheng Qiang isn't very good. Don't look for them." Zhang Mei Lian said.
She was weary, because she had to go to the garment factory to get the goods. How can she let old Zhou Family find out?
"What do you mean by isn't very good?" Mrs. Zhang froze.
Zhang Mei Lian was worried about her going over to demand a job, so she could only say, "They don't care about Xu Sheng Qiang."
Saying they didn't care was being tactful. It was basically a severed relationship. Otherwise why didn't old Zhou Family say a word about her and Xu Sheng Qiang's matter?
She originally thought that old Zhou family would separate her and Xu Sheng Qiang. Then she would encourage her mother to stir trouble.
After all, she had slept with Xu Sheng Qiang and she didn't make much money. How could she just let it drop. As long as they want to separate her from Xu Sheng Qiang, her Zhang family will definitely give them trouble.
But who could had thought that there was no reaction from old Zhou Family.
And the goods from the garment factory were supplied as usual. Wasn't this obvious enough? Old Zhou Family just didn't get involved in Xu Sheng Qiang's affairs.
Zhang Mei Lian wasn't afraid. As long as the supplies for the store weren't stopped, it was ideal that old Zhou Family didn't care about Xu Sheng Qiang. Otherwise, how can she be with Xu Sheng Qiang? How can the store remain opened? And how can she make money?
There was a profit of three to four hundred yuan a month now. Which was more than Xu Sheng Mei's profit.
Speaking of Xu Sheng Mei, Zhang Mei Lian's face was full of ridicule. She and Xu Sheng Mei were now completely broken off. Old Zhou Family hated her very much. Without the support of Zhou Family, what was Xu Sheng Mei?
At Zhao's house, she had to live with her tail between her legs!
Old Madam Zhang and Mrs. Zhang were stunned by her words.
"What do not caring about Xu Sheng Qiang mean?" Mrs. Zhang asked immediately.
"You make it clear!" Old Madam Zhang also demanded.
"Not caring is not caring. Almost the severed relationship kind." Zhang Mei Lian responded.
"Already severed! So why are you marrying him?" Old Madam Zhang scolded: "Without old Zhou Family's relatives, it's not he, a country boy, can ascend to heaven. You still come back and get the household registration book to go back to the country with him to get married? Do you have a hole in your head!"
"I think there is hole as well. This hole isn't small!" Mrs. Zhang also joined in the scolding.
It turned out that the relationship had been severed. She was saying why didn't she greet them when she saw them. She thought she could find a job by borrowing her connection. Who knew it would be wishful thinking.
She couldn't help but said, "Youngest Sister, you simply degrading yourself. He is a country boy. What can he do without relatives' help? Do you have no one to marry or what? You actually want to marry him!"
Truthfully, Zhang Mei Lian didn't want to get married. It wasn't bad to get along with Xu Shengqiang. Who knows what will happen in the future?
But Xu Sheng Qiang insisted on getting married. She had delayed it for as long as she could. Xu Sheng Qiang said that if she didn't marry him, the shop won't be opened.
Letting Zhang Mei Lian, who was used to poverty, give up monthly income of hundreds?
So even when Zhang Mei Lian wasn't willing to get married, she can only get married.
Zhang Mei Lian took the household registration book and went back to the countryside with Xu Sheng Qiang to get married.
Although Xu Sheng Qiang was annoyed with his sister, he still came to Xu Sheng Mei to talk about this matter. Xu Sheng Mei almost miscarried out of anger when she knew about it.
Her brother really wants to marry Zhang Mei Lian. What to do in the future? Zhang Mei Lian wasn't a quality good!
Xu Sheng Mei was filled with regrets. She regretted that she had started a shop with that b*tch Zhang Mei Lian. Now she came to harm her brother and her old Xu Family.
But what made her even more furious was that old Zhou Family didn't even come forward to stop it!
They knew exactly what kind of person Zhang Mei Lian was and they watched her marry her brother. No one stepped forward!
Xu Sheng Qiang didn't care about that much. Although his sister pulled him aside and said a lot bad things about Zhang Mei Lian, Xu Sheng Qiang didn't take it to heart.
How was Zhang Mei Lian bad? She was willing to be with him, be his wife, and even take the household registration book to the countryside with him to get a marriage certificate. How can she be bad?
When Xu Sheng Qiang thought of bringing a capital girl home to get married, he felt proud of the envy that the youths of the whole village was going to express.
He closed the store the next day and took Zhang Mei Lian back to his hometown.
Old Zhou's side didb't know about the two getting married. It was only when Zhou Er Ni called back to her mother and heard about it from Eldest Sister-in-law.
Zhou Er Ni came to tell Lin Qing He. Lin Qing He also called Eldest Sister-in-law.
"The woman's name is Zhang Mei Lian. It has been spread all over our community. She had been with a good few men. When dating, she took them to her dormitory to stay overnight. Heard she had an abortion. How many, I don't know. He can forget about a peaceful life in the future after marrying this kind of woman." Lin Qing He said.
Eldest Sister-in-law almost couldn't dropped the phone after hearing this: "First Sister was overjoyed. She ran all the way over here and told us all go over to join the wedding banquet when the time comes."
"One more thing, Xu Sheng Mei wanted to match Zhang Mei Lian with Hu Zi before. Hu Zi is an upright fellow. Also, a neighbor found out and told me. Only like this, nothing happened." Lin Qing He spoke.
"Sheng Mei had wanted to match her up with Hu Zi? Did Sheng Mei know anything about her?" Eldest Sister-in-law asked.
"She has been working here for so long, how could she not know. It was deliberate. She wanted to pour the dirty water on Hu Zi, so that I can't explain to Second Sister." Lin Qing He said calmly.

Eldest Sister-in-law's tone became unpleasant: "She still did this kind of thing?"
"You know Qing Bai. If it weren't for disappointment, he won't leave Xu Sheng Qiang and Zhang Mei Lian's matter alone." Lin Qing He said. Then she added: "We don't want to interact with old Xu Family anymore."
"Then we won't go over." Eldest Sister-in-law angrily declared.
She didn't even know that so many things had happened. What kind of children did her elder sister raise?
And marrying such a woman into the house, what will happen in the future? With such a bad reputation, Eldest Sister-in-law didn't want to attend.
"Eldest Sister-in-law, if you have time, go over and let Second Sister know. Hu Zi brothers weren't bad to Xu Sheng Mei and Xu Sheng Mei still wanted to give Hu Zi a knife and push such a woman to Hu Zi. You have to tell Second Sister." Lin Qing He didn't enlarging the matter.
Their family at hometown didn't even know about it. Since Xu Sheng Mei dared to do this and suffered from self-inflicted consequences, they must be notified about it.
Otherwise, they'll think how glorious her old Xu family was.
It went without saying Eldest Sister-in-law agreed. She was full of anger when she got home and talked about it to Eldest Brother.
Eldest Brother's face turned black: "Does Father and Mother know?"
"Qing He kept it from them. She didn't dare to say it. If our parents know this, won't they collapse angry." Eldest Sister-in-law shook her head.
She didn't expect so many things to happen. Putting the rest aside, they didn't want to participate in this wedding banquet.
Eldest Sister-in-law went to Second Sister's village to talk about this matter.
Second Sister was stunned after listening: "Was there such matter?"
"Sigh, whether you want to go or not, you can figure it out by yourself." Eldest Sister-in-law Zhou sighed.
Second Sister sent her sister-in-law out. Her face was black when she went home. She got her eldest son to send gift money over. They weren't attending.
Eldest Sister-in-law didn't go. While Second Sister-in-law was going. Her relationship with Second Sister-in-law was so-so and this matter had nothing to do with her, so she didn't tell her. However, she did get Third Brother to bring a message to Third Sister-in-law.
So when Xu Sheng Qiang and Zhang Mei Lian got married in the village, only Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law from First Sister's maternal were present. Of course, they brought along the gift money.
"What's the situation? Why didn't they come?" First Sister was stunned.
"I don't know. Said they're not free. To not even attend their nephew's wedding, I really don't know what's keeping them occupied." Second Sister-in-law responded.
"Don't talk about these cold words." Second Brother lost his temper and then he pulled his eldest sister aside to speak: "Eldest Sister, is your daughter-in-law not good?"
"Not good? In which aspect? She's beautiful and polite. Her family are from the capital. I don't know what good luck my old Xu Family has gotten." First Sister jollily said.
Second Brother frowned: "If she is a good one, why don't the other come over?"
If only one didn't come, then it was fine. However, his eldest brother's family, his third brother's family, and his second sister's family didn't attend.
"Once today's affairs are over, I have to ask them too!" First Sister said disgruntledly.
She had reserved a table for, but they didn't come over out of the sudden.
It didn't take much time for a rural family to hold a wedding. However, Xu Sheng Qiang wanted to make it big deal and killed two pigs to treat the guests.
This wasn't a trivial expense. Many people in the village have talked about it, saying that Xu Sheng Qiang was now very prosperous.
Not to mention marrying a girl from the capital, see how face-gaining this wedding was?
This was the first person to do so in the village. Many people have come to Xu Sheng Qiang's side and flatteringly called 'brother'. Each and every call made it evident they want to build a relationship and then see if there is a chance to earn some with him.
Still, Xu Sheng Qiang enjoyed the flattery. He didn't want to take people to the capital though.
It wasn't easy for him to get the goods himself, how could he bring others over to get it.
Zhang Mei Lian barely coped with the scene. These country folks were really crude. There were those who picked at their teeth while eating. Zhang Mei Lian was close to vomiting.
She clamored to leave the next day. Xu Sheng Qiang also wanted to go back to make money, but they had to stay at home for at least three days. All other documents that should be handled were handled. After three days, Zhang Mei Lian didn't want to stay any longer and departed for the capital with Xu Sheng Qiang.
First Sister finally found time and came to find her sister.
Second Sister said: "Eldest sister, I was going to attend Qiang Zi's wedding. Have you asked Sheng Mei what she done? And your daughter-in-law, what is her origin?"
The relationship between her and her eldest sister was tight. Her eldest sister was nice to her and she had never treated her eldest sister badly. She had urged her two sons to take care of Xu Sheng Mei in the capital.
But what did Xu Sheng Mei do? She actually wanted to give such a woman to her family!
Now it was better. That woman married Qiang Zi. This was the good deed Xu Sheng Mei did herself.
First Sister didn't know anything and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I don't know what I mean. You can make a call yourself and ask Sheng Mei!" Second Sister responded.
First Sister became flustered. She went back to the village to find an official and made a call to Zhao Family.
It happened to be Xu Sheng Mei who answered the phone. The others were out.
Xu Sheng Mei saw that her mother knew and told about Zhang Mei Lian's matter without holding back. In the end, she yelled: "My uncle is too unfeeling. He actually doesn't care about Qiang Zi at all and let Qiang Zi be with such a woman!"
First Sister almost couldn't hold the phone firmly and said angrily: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
"Say what earlier? Is there any use of saying earlier? Qiang Zi was spoiled by you. I just persuaded a bit and was slapped directly by herhim. If you stop him, I can see him do the same to you. Forget it. Let him marry if he wants to marry. See how long Zhang Mei Lian settle down. Whent he times come, they will definitely have to divorce!" Xu Sheng Mei spewed out.
"Who's getting a divorce?" Zhao Jun came in from outside at this time and said.
"Nobody." Xu Sheng Mei answered and then hung up the phone with her mother. She looked at him as she said, "You didn't come back last night. Where did you go?"
"Went out and hung around with friends." Zhao Jun casually responded.
When Xu Sheng Mei waited for him to sit down, she could smell the smell of a woman on his body. No need to ask to know that he was fooling with other women last night. Naturally, she was angry.
So what if she was angry, her life still had to go on.
"When I passed by Qiang Zi's shop, I found that the door wasn't opened. What's the matter?" Zhao Jun asked.
"Why are you passing by out of the blue?" Xu Sheng Mei said.
"That's my brother-in-law. Can't I go and check around when passing by." Zhao Jun responded.
