Chapter 691: Plan for Second Brother

Dark Mode

It would be a lie to say that Second Brother wasn't envious when seeing his youngest brother developed so well.

Totaling it all up, he was only four years older than his fourth younger brother, Zhou Qing Bai. His fourth younger brother looked like he was in his early thirties. Time hadn't put much dent on his appearance these years.

While look at him. He looked like an old man in his sixties.

When he was young, he was still thinking about fighting a bit and see if he could turn over. But now, he couldn't be envious enough. He had given up long ago.

Just live it like this. Pass one day was another day down. He can't hold back his children.

Lin Qing He feel uncomfortable to see him like this.

She left him chatting with Zhou Qing Bai. Lin Qing He went into the room and spoke to Eldest Sister-in-law: "I can't bear to see Second Brother like this."

"It's not just you. I sometimes feel anxious." Eldest Sister-in-law sighed.

Now life was getting better, but second branch's days were standing at the same spot all the time.

In fact, when compared with the famine in the past, the current life wasn't bad at all. At least he can fill his stomach.

Still. people should always have something to pursue. They can't always compare with the past. They have to compare with the future. Look at the village nowadays. Brick houses weren't rare anymore. As for the richest family in the village, they were already thinking about learning from the city, constructing apartment building here!

The lifestyle were getting more and more prosperous.

However, the second branch stopped at that spot.

Sometimes Eldest Sister-in-law would get Eldest Brother to give a bowl of dish to add to his meal. She couldn't bear to watch.

"Liu Ni's mother don't care?" Lin Qing He asked.

"She already move into the city now. She occasionally come back for the field harvest. To the unknown, they would her daughter-in-law who looks down on her is her daughter." Eldest Sister-in-law complained.

Second Sister-in-law came back a few times a year. Every time she came back empty-handed. While every time she went to the city, she directly get the village's donkey cart to carry all kinds of food to the city.

"It's like she's being hypnotize to lower head. I can't understand what she is aiming for." Eldest Sister-in-law commented.

Zhou Xia's wife, Ma Miao Miao, wasn't easy to get along with. When they got married last year, she move over there with Zhou Xia together. Of course, no matter how difficult Ma Miao Miao was after being to the capital, she didn't dare to let out a fart.

Still, from the words and deeds, it can be seen that there wasn't any good interaction in private.

Like Eldest Sister-in-law, Lin Qing He didn't understand Second Sister's motive for buttering.

"This summer, Xia Xia want to bring his younger brother to the city to study. From next semester, the house will only have Second Brother left." Eldest Sister-in-law said: "Your eldest brother and I were thinking should we give him some food? Come here to eat? It's hard to decide what to eat when you're on your own."

Why else did Lin Qing He like to interact with Eldest Sister-in-law? Eldest Sister-in-law was really nice. Let's not mention when they were young and the conditions were limited. Now she really had the demeanor of old Zhou Family's eldest sister-in-law.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai went back to their home to rest at night. Zhou Wang burned mosquito coils before they came back. There were also mosquito nets. So not much mosquitoes.

Little Mi Mi fell asleep soon. Her dad promised to take her to see the cows and donkeys tomorrow.

Lin Qing He chatted with Zhou Qing Bai about Second Brother: "It's heart-wrecking to see Second Brother like this."

How could Zhou Qing Bai not think so too?

They were all born to the same parents. The other brothers, including Eldest Brother who lived in the village, had a vibrant lifestyle. The village was planning to elect him to be the secretary.

Old Third opened a shop in the city. It was very profitable. Only his second brother was left. This time he came back and felt that he aged a lot.

"Our family's farm on the outskirts. Say, should we start it in advance?" Lin Qing He asked.

"You want Second Brother to go to the capital?" Zhou Qing Bai asked in surprise.

"I heard from Eldest Sister-in-law that Xia Xia's younger brother is going to study in the city. Second Brother will be left alone at home from then on. This year, forget about it. But next year, should we let Second Brother go over? I saw Mother missing Second Brother." Lin Qing He said.

Mother Zhou had sighed about it.

Eldest Brother, Third Brother, and Second Sister had been to the capital to see the elderly couple. Still, the elderly couple hadn't been to their hometown for so many years. Until now, they haven't seen Second Brother.

Though Father Zhou didn't say anything, he probably have some thoughts in his heart.

"To start a farm now? The prerequisite investment is too much. Our family still owes so much money." Zhou Qing Bai said to his wife. It went without saying his heart moved at the idea of letting Second Brother go to the capital city. But no matter how he wanted to, he got to be rational.

"Our farm can be delayed. I want to start building an apartment building to rent out." Lin Qing He expanded.

In the capital, she and Zhou Qing Bai have a lot of land. They were all old houses. They can be demolished and then new farmer houses can be built.

"At that time, we can let Second Brother be a supervisor and watch it for us. When these farmer houses are almost done, our farm should be able to start work." Lin Qing He continued.

Their family need to build quite a few farmer houses. A farmer house block with seven floors should be enough. It wasn't too high. Still, it took time.

A supervisor would be required. It was perfect to let Second Brother do the job.

Zhou Qing Bai naturally knew letting his second brother go was a good idea, but...

"I'm afraid Second Sister-in-law is going to make trouble." Zhou Qing Bai frowned and pointed out.

"Why would she do that? If Second Brother's salary is remitted to her, she won't against whatever Second Brother say." Lin Qing He flatly replied. She really didn't have a good impression of Second Sister-in-law.

"When matters in the countryside resolve, let's go to Xia Xia's place for a visit and tell her about it." Lin Qing He said.

She wanted Second Brother go over. Not just to supervise the work, but also to fulfill the wish of Father Zhou and Mother Zhou. As for Second Sister-in-law, she won't let her go over.

Of course she felt that as long as Second Brother send the money back, Second Sister-in-law wouldn't want to go over. After all, she wouldn't be happy to see her doing so well.

She still knew Second Sister-in-law's mindset.

Zhou Qing Bai grasped his wife's hand and curved his lips: "Wife, thank you very much."

"What are you thanking me for? It's because Second Brother isn't bad. If not, I won't open this mouth." Lin Qing He smiled at him.

She still remembered that time when Eldest was still little. He came home one day and saw her cooking eggs. He suddenly said that when he was hungry, Second Uncle gave him two bird eggs to eat. They were very fragrant. She asked, did he give anything else?

Eldest, who was still wearing his nappy, said there was also roasted sweet potatoes.

These all happened before she came. Lin Qing He didn't say anything after hearing it.

She still remembered Second Brother.

The decision to let Second Brother go to the capital, must told to the concerned party himself as well as Second Sister-in-law.

Early the next morning, Zhou Qing Bai went to talk to his second brother about this matter.

Second Brother was stunned: "How can that do? I can't do anything. How can I go over there?"

"Go over and learn. There is nothing you can't learn." Zhou Qing Bai stated.

"It can't be done. With the way I am, how can I go to such a big place? How much expenses it will be?" Second Brother didn't even consider.

Zhou Qing Bai took in his second brother's reaction and decided to let his wife persuade him.

Lin Qing He smilingly spoke: "Second Brother, we're not letting you go to the capital to eat free rice. You know that we have a lot of business and are busy now. We will build a building next year without anyone supervising. It's definitely worrying. If you are willing to go over to help, we will definitely calculate the pay. If you want a high salary, I can't pay that. I will include food and accommodation and give you one hundred and fifty a month."

"Build a building?" Second Brother was very surprised.

"En. Planning to rent it out." Lin Qing He calmly told: "It's seven floors high. Second Brother, wouldn't you want to supervise the work yourself?"

"That's a must." Second Brother couldn't help but say. Seven floors high building! How high would that be? He went to the city and saw other people's buildings. How many floors were those?

He understood old fourth's intention. He couldn't help waved his hands and said, "But Da Wa's mother, I...I'm worried that I don't understand these. I can't speak anything over there."

"Second Brother, you are underestimating yourself. You haven't seen Father and Mother for a long time. Whether it's Father or Mother, they both speak very fluently in the capital. How old are they? Can you be inferior to them?" Lin Qing He smilingly uttered: "And Father and Mother are getting old now. They occasionally think of you, Second Brother. The last time Eldest got married, Mother had asked Xia Xia why you haven't come since it's off peak season. "

Second Brother couldn't help feeling sad. In fact, he really wanted to go there. He really wanted to see his parents. He heard from old Third that they were very old. Although they lived happily in the capital, tears came out of his mother's eyes when she saw him.

"Go ba! There are a lot of matters in the capital. You don't have to worry about causing us trouble. I'm more worried about whether we tire Second Brother then." Lin Qing He jollily said.

"But so this many field." Second Brother wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and hesitantly expressed.

"What is there to worry? Go to the village and say it. I promise you many people want it. Don't need money and just transfer it to others for planting." Lin Qing He countered.

Though she said that, he definitely can't go now. Because it was time for the summer harvest. There was also autumn harvests waiting outside.

The summer harvest was the minor one. The autumn harvest was the major one. The grains in the ground were already planted.

"After this year's autumn harvest is over, I will get Third come over to pick you." Lin Qing He didn't mind and stated.

After all, they need to contact the construction team in the capital as well as designing the layout of the farmer's house.

Second Brother was relieved. He thought he was going with them this time and there was still so much work in the field. It couldn't be transferred out. And the autumn harvest was coming soon. H was quite reluctant to.

It was okay if it was after the autumn harvest.

Then he thought of his wife. Lin Qing He brought it up without him saying: "We'll be at the county city. We will drop by Xia Xia's place and tell Second Sister-in-law. You won't have anywhere to spend money in the capital. I will cover food and accommodation. The remaining 80% of the salary will be remitted to Second Sister-in-law. What do you think?"

"Okay, it can do. You don't have to leave me 20%. Give her all as long as she doesn't go and make trouble." Second Brother exclaimed.

"Give her 80% is enough. You can keep the remaining 20% . It's not much. Don't even think about having no money when you want to spend some money on Father and Mother. There is also Pang Pang. He looks healthy and adorable. Wait until he sees his grandpa. He will definitely ask for pocket money from his grandpa at that time." Lin Qing He maintained.

Second Brother widely grinned.

This matter had been settled temporarily.

Eldest Sister-in-law was surprised when she learned about it. Still, she was delighted: "It's a good idea to go the capital city. The water and soil over there nourish people." She hesitantly asked about work.

Lin Qing He said, "Eldest Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry Second Brother putting more burden on us when going over there. There's lots of work."

There will be many houses built for farmers alone. There will be no free time for two years.

When the farmers' houses are almost completed, they will have to start developing the large farms in the suburbs. When the farms are done, there will be basically nothing for Second Brother to do.

He had been doing farm work all his life. It was more than appropriate for him to manage the farm.

Seeing that Lin Qing He had plans, Eldest Sister-in-law didn't say anything. She was sincerely happy for Second Brother.

Going to the capital definitely won't be worse than at home.

Zhou Kai and Zhou Xuan both rushed back. They only arrived in the evening. They borrowed their maternal uncle's motorcycle and drove home directly.

Got to mention, once the two brothers went home, those young woman and little wives were all blushing.

Cai Ba Mei's mother, Mrs. Cai, was particularly regretful. In the past, she had taken a fancy to Eldest. Thinking that he won't do badly in the future. She wanted to pair her granddaughter to him and set a childhood engagement or something. She had often wanted to stuff eggs to Eldest.

But in the end, it didn't happen. Now her granddaughter hadn't married badly. Still, can't be compare with being with Zhou Kai.

"One by one, they all grew up. Everyone was envious when seeing this kind of young man. Qing He, you can really educate." Mrs. Cai remarked.

She had aged a lot over the years. Still, she was very energetic.

Lin Qing He smiled: "They have grown up. And are sensible."

At this moment, Zhou Dong's voice sounded from outside. He chatted with Eldest and the others.

Mrs. Cai said: "Zhou Dong bought a lot of groceries back. You have to come over to eat tonight."

Although there was conflict between her sons and son-in-law because of their cooperation, she was fair as a mother-in-law. She didn't favor her son.

Originally, it was her own son who was in the wrong and let their wives' family mix in.

Son-in-law had gone out to do it by himself now. And it was very impressive. On the contrary, her two sons had endless matters due their wives' family getting involved.

However, Mrs. Cai was too lazy to get involved. She had told them and they didn't listen. She wasn't singing a tragedy. The chicken farm will probably close in the future.

"Then we will have a big meal at Zhou Dong's." Lin Qing He smiled.

In the evening, they came to Zhou Dong's house for dinner. Zhou Dong had really prepared a feast for them. While they were together, he asked Lin Qing He for an idea.

Lin Qing He gave him an idea. Told him self-produce and self-sell.

She advised Zhou Dong to imitate her younger brother and Third Brother. Of course, treat it as a side business. The main business was to run this farm.

She told Zhou Dong to go over to the county city to see if there are any shops in good locations to buy. If there are, buy one or two. Then do his own business.

He can hire someone he can trust to go over. Or he can do it yourself. It depended on Zhou Dong's own arrangements.

Zhou Dong nodded when he heard it. There was no questioning.

Third jollily commented, "Elder Brother Dong, aren't you going to ask questions. Not afraid of being sold by my mom."

"Mom only sells tea, not people." Little Mi Mi helped her mom speak.

"Mi Mi is right." Zhou Kai pulled his little sister onto his lap. Little Mi Mi was a little unfamiliar with this eldest brother. Still, she didn't dislike him. He was her eldest brother after all.

As for Zhou Dong, he laughed: "Auntie say it's good, then how can there be bad. No need to ask."

Just look at Third Brother Lin and Third Brother and one will know. Third Brother had already installed a telephone in the county city. Third Brother Lin had changed from a bicycle to motorcycle. Then a motorcycle to a truck.

In fact, Zhou Dong did consider this himself. Although it was great to open a farm, he didn't know how opening a shop by himself would do?

Since he wasn't sure, he took advantage of Lin Qing He's return to ask. Seeing Lin Qing He also pointed in this direction, he could implement it without worry.

He planned to sell only chicken. Nothing else.

What Lin Qing He was thinking was that the business may be relatively normal. But if one set up a side hustle, they will have an extra source of income for their family.

Of course, the most important thing was that a good shop in a good location was worth a lot of money even when a small place like the county city won't be as exaggerated as the major cities.

Even if the business was average and won't make a lot of money, buying one and operating it was still a kind of securities.

She had watched Zhou Dong grow up and hoped that he would be well.

So when Lin Qing He left, she mentioned that her younger brother and Third Brother had bought a property in the city. It was a pretty good idea. If he had spare money, then buy one. In the future, the children will attend high school in the county city. They'll have a place to live there. There was no need to live in school.

Whether Zhou Dong listen or not, Lin Qing He didn't know. Still, she told him this.

The next day was Father Lin's funeral.

The whole family went over to attend. They haven't seen each other for many years. Eldest Brother Lin, Second Brother Lin, and the two elder sister whom Lin Qing He didn't have much contact with were stunned when they saw their family.

Especially these nephews. Each and every one made the villagers look again repeatedly.

The whole village can't find such outstanding young talents.

Eldest Sister Lin and Second Sister Lin both wanted to mend their old feelings. However, Lin Qing He didn't want to have anything to do with Lin Family.

Before it was Mother Lin's passing away. Now it was Father Lin's. With Father Lin's passing away, she won't come to old Lin's house anymore.

She only recognized her younger brother's family out of the entire old Lin Family. As for those comment about her only recognizing her in-law but not her maternal family, say all they want, it didn't matter.

The money that should be paid was paid. The ceremony that should followed through was followed through. Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai stay in the village for one day with Third and Mi Mi.

As for Eldest and Second, they were too busy. Once it was over, they went to the county city and stayed at their third uncle and maternal uncle's house for one night. Then the next day, they took the morning bus to the provincial city to catch the train.

They had specially taken time out to come back. They really couldn't be delayed anymore.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai drove the motorcycle left by Eldest and the others and came to the county city the next day. It went without saying they came to visit Zhou Xia.

Zhou Xia was busy. He wasn't at home. Same for Ma Miao Miao. They were both at the furniture factory.

Second Sister-in-law was at home minding the child. When she saw Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai coming with Mi Mi, Second Sister-in-law was taken aback.

Although the relationship was indeed not good, it wasn't to the point of chasing them away. After all, if her daughter-in-law knew that she dared to chase them away, her daughter-in-law would directly chase her back to her hometown!

Although there was really nothing to say to Second Sister-in-law, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai still entered the door, gave a brief greeting, and then entered the subject.

They didn't directly say that they would let Second Brother go over. She asked Second Sister-in-law: "Originally, I didn't approve, but Qing Bai care for his brothers. He want Second Brother to go there. He would be paid 100 or so yuan each month with food and accommodation included. He ran over and told Second Brother without my approval."

Second Sister-in-law was stunned. What? Old Fourth wants her man to work in the capital and pay more than one hundred yuan a month?

She didn't care about what work Second Brother had to do in the capital. She just said, "Is there really more than one hundred yuan a month?"

"Yes, but I don't really want to agree to it. Since Second Brother is going over, then you will also go over in the future. You know how our relationship is." Not only did Lin Qing He said it so snarky, but also very straightforwardly.

She said that because she didn't want to see Second Sister-in-law. Also indicating that she won't let Second Brother make this money if she followed over.

"Let Xia Xia's father go there. I won't go there. I still have to help Xia Xia take care of the child." Second Sister-in-law said immediately.

More than one hundred yuan a month. Than more than one thousand a year. How much land must one farm to earn this?

"If you don't go there, I will reluctantly accept Second Brother. As for the salary, I will pay it to Second Brother. How you husband and wife handle it, decide it yourself. However, I must put this down first. I only agreed to Second Brother going over. Anyone else, I won't accept." Lin Qing He declared.

She hadn't spoken in this tone for a long time. But this tone was Second Sister-in-law's familiar impression of old Fourth's wife.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai didn't sit any longer. They went back with Mi Mi.

On the other hand, Second Sister-in-law can't sit still. She didn't want to go to the capital, but this money must be earned. It was more than 1,000 a year. Where can she find this much!

However, she must get her man to send the money back to her!

So when Zhou Xia and Ma Miao Miao got off work, she recounted this matter. Afterward, she wanted to go back to the village to talk to Second Brother.

"Tomorrow, get a lift from Third Uncle, Mom." Zhou Xia said.

Then he came over to his third uncle and third aunt's side. However, his fourth uncle and fourth aunt had already caught the bus to the provincial city. They should already be there at this time. Might got on the train.

Second Sister-in-law didn't care about this. She confirmed it with Third Sister-in-law. Lin Qing He had talked about it with Third Sister-in-law. So she answered.

So early the next morning, Second Sister-in-law rode on Third Brother's motorcycle and went straight back to the village. She rushed to discuss it with Second Brother.

The main point was to send every penny of money back home. Then she won't take a step to go over and bother him.

Second Brother agreed and said that the money would be sent back. What's more, seeing her only caring about the money, Second Brother's heart felt very calm.

The couple was only in name. Their feeling had long since disappeared.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai took Third and Mi Mi back to the capital. Everything went as usual.

However, when Third visited his grandparent's, he incidentally said that his parents were going to bring his second uncle over to the capital this year.

Father Zhou and Mother Zhou were both stunned.

"What is your second uncle going to do here?" Father Zhou spoke.

It had been a long time since they saw their second son. Although second son was now a grandfather, Father Zhou still missed him a little.

He had seen the other sons. Just this second son, he hadn't. He was old now. More soft-hearted. This was human nature.

However, he didn't express it.

In comparison, Mother Zhou's feelings were much more abundant.

She found out that starting next year, old Fourth's family will construct an apartment building and will need supervision. That was why old Second was called over to be a supervising worker.

Mother Zhou's eyes reddened. She specially made a trip to the courtyard dwelling, grasped Lin Qing He's hand, and looked at her with her small touched eyes.

Lin Qing He couldn't bear this action of the little old lady and spoke, "Second Brother should probably be at home this time. I'll call back. Mother, want to chat with Second Brother?"

Mother Zhou said 'okay'.

After the phone connected, she asked for Second Brother to answer. Mother Zhou wiped tears for a long time. Second Brother choked up on his side and said that he wasn't filial. Later, he will come to the capital to show his filial piety to her and Father.

Although she cried, Mother Zhou was in a good mood. She was drove back by Zhou Qing Bai.

"It's truly a great honor that our old Zhou Family can marry in your wife. Qing Bai, you can't wrong your wife, understand? Or else your father and I will be first to not let you go." Mother Zhou didn't get out of the car and declared to him.

Zhou Qing Bai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mother, where did this come from?"

Where did Mother Zhou get this idea? There was a handful of divorce in the park. There was the east's family and the west's family. It was either this one in disagreement or that one. Also, those with some money in their hands. They went out to raise a mistress. The wife find and divorce happen again.

A good family was torn apart.

Mother Zhou felt that she must give her son a good warning.

Zhou Qing Bai felt helpless and amused: "Mother, you think too much."

"It's fine that I overthink." Mother Zhou harrumphed: "Your father and I are both at this age. We won't be able to enjoy the happiness for more than a few years. If you are willing to let us live well, you should know what to do and what not to do."

Helpless and amused, Zhou Qing Bai sent his mother inside. It was getting late, so he drove home.

When he got back to the room with his wife, he retold his mother's warning.

"Why is Mother worried about you? With the way you are, you will be like living life without the sun without me. While me, I will face so many temptations. The youths outside can really make one's heart move." Lin Qing He said.

Zhou Qing Bai's face turned black. At the beginning, he wanted to tease. Unexpectedly, he got the truth out of his wife's heart!

"I'm not old either!" Zhou Qing Bai softly huffed.

Lin Qing He grinned: "After a few years, you will be in the fifty. Still, saying you're not old."

Zhou Qing Bai simply proved by action that he was really not old.

In the end, Lin Qing He was sleeping in Zhou Qing Bai's arms. Okay, okay, he wasn't old at all. He can go a couple of times a night.

Early the next morning, Zhou Qing Bai focused on exercising.

His wife made him have a sense of mid-age man's crisis. Not from family pressure, but from whether he could continue to attract his wife.

Lin Qing He left him be and went to the translation studio after breakfast.

She left the task of finding the construction team to Third.

Third was 21 this year. He was still like a grown child. However, Lin Qing He's way of educating her sons was to spoil them.

At the age of 21, all these things were dumped to him.

He contacted the overseer, and negotiated when they were convenient. Finally, the work was scheduled to start next year.

Third brought back the drawings of the farmer house to show her.

There were seven floors in total, with three to five suite on each floor.

The three-suite ones were all relatively large. The five-suite ones were naturally smaller.

However, each had a standard balcony, bathroom, and kitchen. Even when it occupied a small area, everything was available.

After looking over it, Third couldn't help but remark: "It's a pity that such a good house is rented out."

"What is there to pity." Lin Qing He said, "Rent have to be paid every month."

As for the deposit, they will talk about it later. Lin Qing He intended on three to one ratio deposit. When the house is returned, one month's rent will be exempted as well as getting the deposit returned after confirming that there are no problems with the house.

But if there was a large mess, it went without saying, she won't be polite.

What state it is when they move in is what state they have to return to it in.

Lin Qing He felt that she was already transitioning to a landlord. What's more, she had the preparation ready.

"Our family is going to build so many farmer houses?" After Lin Qing He showed the other house's land to Third, Third was taken aback.

When did his family have so many houses?

"That house will be completed in a short time next year. See how it come out. If it is good, continue to use them. The wages will be settled in one phase by one phase. Never be in arrears." Lin Qing He stated.

Third looked at his mom: "Mom, with so many houses, the rent will add up to a huge sum in the future."

"That's right." Lin Qing He was slightly proud. She don't know if the business was going to be profitable or not in the future, but these real estates will definitely not lose money.

"I think I won't be able to spend all the money in this life even when I don't work in the future." Third showed a contented expression.

Lin Qing He sent a kick over: "These are your dad and mine. We will travel the world in the future and enjoy our own two-person world. Go chill wherever is cool. You don't have a share."

"So unfeeling. Only have my dad in your eyes and none of us." Third sighed.

Zhou Qing Bai just came back with Mi Mi when he heard this.

Third took his younger sister into arm. The two siblings grouped together and sought warmth: "Mi Mi, Mom will take Dad to travel around the world in the future. Saying that she doesn't want to take us with them."

"Third Elder Brother, don't be afraid. Mi Mi will give you chocolate." Little Mi Mi took out the imported liquor chocolate from her pocket and gave it to him.

"It's nice to have a younger sister." Third said with satisfaction.

"Travel around the world?" Zhou Qing Bai raised an eyebrow and looked at his wife.

"I will take you later." Lin Qing He cast a wink at him. Once their little daughter grows up, they will go.

Zhou Qingbai chuckled lightly. Then he turned on the TV. The familiar song of Journey to the West came out. The scene played was Tang Seng passing through the female country and began his love trial.

Zhou Wu Ni gave birth to Jiang Heng's son in September.

The kid was said to be slightly over seventy jin. Zhou Wu Ni had spent a lot of effort in delivering him.

When the call came over, Lin Qing He was overjoyed. She asked Jiang Heng and found out Zhou Wu Ni was completely fine. The nanny had already be called, so there was basically no problem.

Lin Qing He got Third to go over with some supplements, as well as some small clothes that Zhou Si Ni gave.

Baby clothes didn't need to be bought anymore. They grow up with each wind they encountered. Since there were other baby clothes, they don't need to purposely spend the money.

Although Zhou Si Ni's Yuan Yuan was a girl and Zhou Wu Ni's was a son, they can still exchange the clothes.

Third came back after staying there for two days. He brought back a cheongsam Xue Mei Li bought for her.

Lin Qing He phoned Xue Mei Li: "You have a good eyesight."

"What good eyesight? It's because you have a good figure and matching aura. You can hold up any cheongsam." Xue Mei Li smiled.

Lin Qing He grinned and talked to her about Zhou Wu Ni. Xue Mei Li spoke: "This year, she definitely can't go to work. It's better to go next spring. By that time, the baby will be much older. He can be weaned and fed mash. She can go back to work if she want."

Compared with Zhou Wu Ni's own mother-in-law, the second aunt, Xue Mei Li seem more like the mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law always thought about taking something good from her room home.

She chatted with Xue Mei Li. Afterward, she called Third Sister-in-law. The two sisters-in-law were also talking about Zhou Wu Ni's birth.

Third Sister-in-law still sighed a little: "She have married so far. Even when I want to go and see, it all depends on the time."

Her daughter married to a big place like Hai City. Although it was wonderful, she can't see her often.

Now was the time when the shop was very busy. Third Brother had to collect the goods. Which was very tiring. She must help sell the goods. The children have to study, so they weren't free.

So she can't pull herself free. When it's the end of the year, she might be able to go over and take a look.

Lin Qing He spoke, "Don't worry about it now. It's all fine."

Third Sister-in-law smiled and then talked about Zhou Liu Ni.

Zhou Liu Ni came back yesterday. She strode back on high heels with flaming red lips and a handbag.

"She made a lot of money?" Lin Qing He raised an eyebrow and asked.

"I don't know if she made a lot of money. But with the way she dressed up, she got a lot of criticism from others." Third Sister-in-law commented.

Even though this was almost the nineties, it was still quite conservative in small towns and villages even when the major cities were more open.

After returning like this, people would secretively say that she didn't know what was face. What's more, due to her history in the village, they often wondered whether she had gone out to work in an unscrupulous industry.

Second Brother was driven mad by Zhou Liu Ni and told her to throw away those high heels and wipe her lips. How can Zhou Liu Ni, who was at the forefront of fashion, be willing?

This time when she went back, she gave her ex-husband a lot of money and insisted on taking her son back.

Her ex-husband's family received 10,000 yuan from Zhou Liu Ni. Since she was successful, they gave her son.

However, Zhou Liu Ni didn't know how to raise children. In her previous life, her son was a gangster. He was raised by this husband family. In this life, Zhou Kai and his brothers was able to become success, so why can't her son?

Originally, she wanted to bring him up by herself even when she didn't know how to. She just needed to provide food and money and it was enough right?

She was really not short of money now.

But when she heard her father say that he will go to the capital once the autumn harvest was over, she stuffed her father her son since she didn't what to do.

What's more, she also gave her father five thousand yuan and told her father to take him to the capital.

She didn't know what went wrong even until now. Why did the fourth branch changed so much in this life from the previous life? Since those few have changed for the better, then let her son go to the capital city and also get better?

Second Brother was extremely furious with her. He was just mentioning it. He hadn't thought of taking this grandson to the capital.

Lin Qing He hadn't heard of this incident from Third Sister-in-law. It was Second Brother who called over to talk about it.

Second Brother stammered. His grandson was indeed not well raised by his ex-son-in-law. He also knew his daughter's virtues. If his grandson stayed here, he would definitely not be promising in the future.

So he kind of wanted to take him with him.

"Then bring him over." Lin Qing He said.

The reason for budging was due t looking upon Second Brother's face. But it was only this one time.

Second Brother was relieved. Taking grandson over meant education was a problem. He got to get help from old Fourth's wife.

Zhou Liu Ni wasn't a responsible person. She had been like this since she was a child.

Before Second Brother made this call, she had already left. It was unknown where she went. Probably gone to make money again.

After the autumn harvest in the countryside, nothing held Second Brother in the village. So he called the capital city's side. He didn't know how to get there. Third had to come and bring him over.

Third came over and took the two grandpa and grandson pair to the capital by train.

When he saw Father Zhou and Mother Zhou, there was no need to describe Second Brother's painful teary expression. Let's just saying it kept flowing down.

Zhou Liu Ni's son was called Zhou Gou Zi. Of course, Zhou Liu Ni dislikes this name and had changed his name to Zhou Kang.

Zhou Kang had a timid personality. Probably due to living a difficult life under the hand of a stepmother. His father wasn't very capable. No need to mention his mom.

In the village, he was often bullied by other children.

But after coming here, it was different. There were new clothes to wear and delicious food. His great-grandfather and great-grandmother treat him well.

Later, when Zhou Liu Ni walked previous life's road and got sentenced to life imprisonment. The grown-up Zhou Kang went to see her from afar.

When Zhou Liu Ni saw this well-dressed son, who was completely different from his hooligan way in the previous life, she felt it was fortunate that she got her father to take this son to the capital.

She still didn't know if her fourth aunt was the same as her. She felt it wasn't the same.

At least this dislikeable Fourth Aunt can seriously cultivate the younger generations.

She knew how unpromising Zhou Kang was. In his previous life, he was the mud that couldn't stick on the wall.

But in this life, he had grown up so well.

She knew that these were Lin Qing He's credits. Because she had called her father before. Most of the time she called to talk to her son. Her father or her grandparents would say Kang Kang wasn't at home. He had gone to his fourth grandmother's home.

Though her fourth aunt dislikes her and looked down on her, she didn't despise her son.

Old Wang left with a smile in 1995.

In his life, he suffered a lot in the early days. Later, he recognized a godson and his life got better after that.

He has a godson, and his grandsons will give him his retirement. His old age is very happy, and there is nothing to miss.

His asset was a courtyard dwelling. That courtyard dwelling was rented out and had been managed by Zhou Qing Bai over the years.

Old Wang had transferred the courtyard dwelling a long time ago. It was under the name of the godson, Zhou Qing Bai. As for the god-grandsons, he had savings left. Of course, it wasn't a lot. Everyone got five thousand yuan.

He gifted Lin Qing He an emperor jade ring. It was his prized collection for many years.

These were all done before he passed away. In addition, a will was made. It solemnly stated in the will that it was his godson and god-daughter-in-law who gave him old-age acre and sent him away. All these things will be inherited by them.

In fact, Lin Qing He didn't know why old Wang made such a will.

Until later, in the '00s. Old Wang's son and daughter-in-law returned from overseas.

Back then, the couple didn't die because of the bombing of the ship. That was because the couple failed to get on the ship in time. They hid in an old Chinese doctor's house because of a sudden serious illness. It took a month before they set off again and left.

Old Wang didn't tell anyone. He hadn't believed that his son and daughter-in-law were dead for so many years. He had been waiting for them all these years. Waiting for them to come back, even he wasn't in good health.

In the end, he couldn't wait. The reason why he made a will was just to prevent the in-case.

Prevent his son from getting into conflicting with his godson.

He did dote his son. But if he was still alive for so many years and still didn't come back to see him, then he was really cruel.

All the asset was left to the godson who took care of him and sent him off at the end of his life. Naturally, no one can say anything.

However, old Wang's son and his daughter-in-law didn't agree.

In the new millennium, how much was a courtyard dwelling in the capital? They didn't do so good in the foreign country. How could they be willing to hand it over to Zhou Qing Bai like this?

So they went to court. In the end, the couple took their son back to the foreign country in disgrace.

With the old Wang's will, even when they were biological relative, the court would not award them it.

Over the years, they had never fulfilled their obligation to support the elderly. Instead, the godson, Zhou Qing Bai had taken care of the elderly for more than ten years. Allowing the elderly to enjoy his twilight years and finally left with a smile.

The court won't side with this couple.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai weren't soft-hearted. With Zhou Family's current development, a courtyard dwelling didn't hold much importance in their eyes.

Just relying on the fact that their family came back and started the battle for property, then there was nothing to discuss.

Father Zhou and Mother Zhou's health were a little better than old Wang.

The couple lived to '02. After witnessing the development and prosperity of the country today, they finally left with a smile. They were both at advanced age and died happily.

All the children and grandchildren came to see the two elders for the last time.

Zhou Qing Bai's mood hadn't been very high this year. Although his parents were old, he was still very shocked with their departure.

Lin Qing He took him out a month later. She took no one else. The couple went on a trip by themselves.

They traveled outside for more than a month before returning home.

Prev ChapterNext ChapterReport chapterChapter 696: Side story two: Zhou Family's family history

Dark Mode

The history of Zhou family actually started after coming to the capital.

The first dumpling shop after they arrived in the capital. After the dumpling shop, their development went a little out of control.

In the '80s, their monthly income could range from thousands to tens of thousands. Especially in the late '80s, the monthly profit alone had ranged from dozen of thousands to two dozen of thousands.

They owed a lot to the bank when they bought the 80,000-square-foot piece of land outside the capital. There was no worry that they couldn't pay it back.

Since the '90s, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai have started to apartment building and farmers homes. Specially reserved for renting out.

They left the supervision to Second Brother. The construction and quality were solid. So they didn't worry about it at all.

A dozen farmer homes had been built one after another. Some weren't high, only have seven floors. Some had thirteen floors.

Rents in the '90s weren't expensive. Still, even when they weren't expensive, when collecting this many buildings, the rents were limitless.

Building these buildings required a lot of money. Even though the 90s weren't as pricey as later generations, it was still not cheap.

In '91, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai went to Hainan together.

They had made a fortune over there. They laid a solid economic foundation for the family's future business.

In '91, commercial housing was only one thousand or so per meter square. The premium ones were over 2,000. It was only a year's time. After '92, it directly skyrocketed to few thousand yuan. Even over five thousand.

What kind of acceleration was this?

Of course, in '93, it will rise to more than 7,000. However, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai didn't stay long. They bought 20 properties in '91 and held onto them. When it increase in '92, they simply sold them.

After this transfer, the liquid asset in their hand was oozing with oil.

As for the subsequent big gains, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai didn't earn it. After leaving in '92, they didn't go to Hainan again.

As for the climate there, Zhou Qing Bai liked it.

So in the '00, the couple travelled again after the lawsuit with Uncle Wang's son. They bought a piece of land and built a villa.

The area of ??this villa wasn't small. There was a large swimming pool inside. The other scenery was elegant. The most important thing was that the real estate weren't expensive at this side anymore after experiencing the bubble in the '90s.

After the establishment of such a villa, it needed to be specially managed by someone. That way, they can go on vacation there when they have free time, especially in winter.

It was due to earning a sum from here, they cleared the previous loan. In the mid-90s, more than a dozen peasant houses were built. The farms in the suburbs of the capital began to be encircled and built.

That piece of land was relatively barren and needed to be nurtured. Second Brother understood these things very well.

These were all left to him to instruct people to do it. He didn't need to get his hand dirty. Just command. It took a full two years to make that piece of land particularly fertile.

Then chicken farms, pig farms, and even a small lake for fish, shrimp and ducks were built.

In addition, there were cattle, sheep, donkeys, and even horses.

Zhou Qing Bai got Zhou Kai to introduce seven or eight retired soldiers to work here. Not only for these, but also for the safety of the farm.

After the farm was set up, Lin Qing He began to sell vegetables. She simply named it 'Grandpa Zhou', and opened a chain of grocery shops.

They were all organic vegetables, without chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

'Grandpa Zhou' either sell nothing or something. If they sell, it must be organic fruits, vegetables, chicken, duck, fish and eggs. All of which were produced by conventional farmers.

The 80,000-square-foot farm wasn't a joke. A lot of soldiers were employed.

Moreover, Lin Qing He had indeed put in a huge investment. She had set up a farmer's house on the farm, specially for the workers to live in.

There were dormitories for singles. If they were married, the couple can apply to live separately.

There was a cooking Auntie on the dining side of the farm. She was one of the soldier's mother. Her culinary skills was excellent. After interviewing with Lin Qing He, Lin Qing He let her come over.

The whole farm was very impressive. Every day two or three trucks were needed for delivery.

In winter, the vegetables were in the greenhouse. So there was no worry about not having work.

The large farm on the outskirts was very famous. Later, many people wanted to visit it. The school even organized groups to visit it.

Lin Qing He had no objection. The premise was that they weren't allowed to casually trample on the farm. However, they were all children and didn't follow the rules. So Lin Qing He refused to let the visit be free of charge.

As long as they went in, they have to show tickets. What's more, even paying the ticket fee, they can't arbitrarily trample around on the farm. Once it is discovered, they can go back wherever they came from. There was no refund.

Farm land acquisition was very successful. Especially when everyone was starting to pursue natural lifestyle.

'Grandpa Zhou' chain stores were quite famous in the capital. Basically every day's goods were sold out.

After the establishment of the farm and the stabilization of the 'Grandpa Zhou' industry, the economic situation of Zhou Family was worry-free.

Other businesses were doing well. Later, there were developers who needed to demolish and develop real estate. It happened that one of Zhou Qing Bai's factory was located there. So he was compensated a lot of money.

Other factories were also eyed on by the developers. Zhou Qing Bai's wallet gotten bigger. Every time the couple went to a place, they will choose a particularly good location to buy it. Next time they come to travel, they can directly go there to live. There was no need to live in a hotel.

There were really many properties under the couple's name. And the number of buildings built later was a scarily large amount.

Sons, daughters-in-laws, grandchildren, and of course the youngest daughter, Zhou Mi were all within the scope of inheritance.

However, neither Zhou Qing Bai nor Lin Qing He transferred any property to these younger generation yet.

Even so, these things will be left to the younger generation.

According to Zhou Gui Lai's words, being their grandchildren was like being born with a golden key.

The starting point of this birth was the end point for many people who had struggled for a lifetime.

But this wasn't wrong.

A whole set of farmer houses in a place like the capital. What kind of assets it was? Let's not say struggling for one lifetime, even two or three lifetimes wasn't enough to achieve it.

However, these younger generation have them right after they were born. Even when it wasn't transferred their ownership yet. But their grandparents pass, it will be left to them.

The premise was that they must be promising.

In the end, Lin Qing He was still Lin Qing He. She didn't want to answer the sentence 'rich can't last over three generations'. The grandchildren's education was very strict.

Which resulted in these grandchildren liking grandfather and being afraid of grandmother.

But their grandmother was astounding. For example, when playing games, they like to team up with their grandmother. Killing all sides was quite exhilarating.

Prev ChapterNext ChapterReport chapterChapter 697: Side story three: Eldest, Zhou Kai

Dark Mode

Zhou Kai entered the camp at the age of 19. Since then, he had climbed up. When he was 30 years old, he had already taken the position of a major.

His future was truly unlimited.

But don't know why, Zhou Kai occasionally had these dreams.

In his dream, he became a person without a proper career He led his two younger brothers into the dark. The kind of path that was dark all the way.

He even dreamed that he was finally executed because of taking the wrong path in life.

When the bullet hit, he immediately awakened. Although he knew it was a dream, he was still very scared.

In fact he didn't know why he could have such a thrilling dream.

He had never taken an incorrect path and had followed the party's orders and directions strictly.

The good thing was that he taken this dream as an early warning after having it once. He told himself to remember never take the wrong path anytime and anywhere.

Zhou Kai's own life was going very smoothly. It can be regarded as smooth sailing. From time to time, he will talk to his old friends on the phone.

His old friend was Han Xu Jie, who married to a girl named Zhong Qing. The two lived happily and gave birth to a genius son.

Zhou Kai didn't envy Han Xu Jie being sent straight to the province. He envied his old friend's family for having such a son.

He and Weng Mei Jia's son wasn't unwise. Just can't be compared with theirs.

The cleverness of other was used for the right way. The cleverness of his son was used for mischievious things.

Since the age of three, he had been an existence that dogs hate to see. From the age of five, cats and dogs hide away at the first sight of him. This was simply what one would called cats and dogs terrified at the scent.

Since the age of seven, what Weng Mei Jia and Zhou Kai do the most often was apologizing to those who knocked on the door.

The brat was too naughty. Zhou Kai had often whipped him with a belt.

He really wasn't the kind to hit children. His dad had never hit him and his brothers since he was young. Now that he was a dad, how can he hit them?

But there was really no other way. Not hitting can't do. Zhou Kai used to think that he was unruly. He was mischievous when he was a child. Though he was mischievous, he had never been so disobedient.

When he was a kid, his mom would use a meal to make not so naughty. If he dared to be overly naughty, his mom would make good food and then get him to stand in the corner and watch his brothers eat. The torture couldn't be any more terrible.

However, this kid didn't care. He was born with a golden key. He was not a glutton like they were when they were young. Can't even tempt him at all. So he had no choice but to hit.

However, hitting was useful. The brat's bones became too resilient.

In the end, he had no other option. He called his parents and directly sent him to the capital.

After his departure, the whole camp felt that the air was fragrant. The cats and dogs all came out for a stroll.

Zhou Kai's son was called Zhou Ju.

Lin Qing He just called this grandson little Ye Ma as his temper was indeed wild enough.

So as soon as he arrived, Grandmother Lin Qing He and Grandfather Zhou Qing Bai took him with them on their travel while it was summer vacation. After returning from the trip, little Ye Ma behaved more.

Because his grandparents promised him, as long as he is obedient, they will take him with them on their travel.

He went off to school to study. He behaved for a semester. Only fought three times at school, which was considered a great improvement.

Have to say, little Ye Ma preferred to be in the capital. He didn't like to go to the camp.

The capital was a lot of fun. In summer, his grandfather would take him to swim. In winter, he would take him to ice-skating.

Of course, his most favorite was the farm in the suburbs.

Every week, he must go there on his day off. He went over to ride horses and to feed horses. Riding oxen and donkeys was fine too. He did it all.

What's more, there were also two little brothers who were resistant to beatings. They happily played with him as they were more resistant to beatings.

Little Ye Ma loved the environment of the farm. It was very spacious. When he came here in the morning, he usually go back at night. Don't know where all this energy came from. The energy was extremely vigorous.

When talking on the phone with his parents, he told his parents that he won't go back there. It was very boring. The place was small and there was nothing fun. He liked the capital city.

There were so many things to play.

For example, in his grandparent's courtyard dwelling. His grandfather raised a few talking mynas and parrots. He liked to teach them to talk.

In short, this side was better. The camp was bad. He didn't want to go back. If his parents are free, they can come to the capital to see him.

Very carefree. None of chick feeling attached to its bird's nest.

Although he was a mischievous bear, he was a stinky boy with a sense of justice. Just very kindergarten-like. He was very easy to sort when his fur was smoothed the right way.

He didn't care if one beat him, scolds him or even stop his pocket money. But if he was told he won't be taken along on the next trip and he will not be taken to the farm next week, then he won't dare. He will restrain himself a lot more.

As the eldest grandson of Zhou Family, Lin Qing He didn't want to grow him into a greenhouse flower. Even when he was wild, it wouldn't matter as long as he walked the right path.

Little Ye Ma got along with his grandfather. However, he was a little afraid when his grandmother have a scornful expression.

Because his grandmother was the biggest in the family. His grandmother said one, no one would dare to say two. She was even worse than him. If she was really provoked, she can do what she says. Won't let him play anything. Nor take him when going somewhere.

As a result, Lin Qing He often complained to Zhou Qing Bai in private that he spoiled his grandson to no end.

If little Ye Ma was a son, Zhou Qing Bai would definitely not agree. Closer with a generation gap wasn't a joke. Zhou Qing Bai liked this grandson very much.

He was a bit naughty. Still, he can attract people's doting.

When little Ye Ma was sent to the capital, his great-grandparents were still alive. The two elderly also loved him dearly like he was the root of their life.

To put it bluntly, he looked exactly like his dad when he was a child.

Little Ye Ma mentally commented that he didn't want to be like that tyrant dad.

Though he was naughty when he was a child, he gradually became sensible as he grew up. Especially when he entered high school. He was 1.85 meters tall. With his parents' genes, he would definitely not be less than 1.9 meters in the future.

After growing up, little Ye Ma was really sensible and filial.

In the past, his grandparents took him out to play. Once he grew up, he took his grandparents out to travel. Always during the summer vacation.

Of course, when going, his siblings from his second uncle and third uncle's family joined.

Little Ye Ma, who had the conscious of being the eldest brother, took care of them. He handled all the bills when they go out. They only need to be responsible for eating, drinking, and having fun.

After entering military academy, little Ye Ma learned from his dad and followed his dad's footsteps.

Zhou Family's huge gate will need him to support it in the future.

Prev ChapterNext ChapterReport chapterChapter 698: Side story four: Second, Zhou Xuan

Dark Mode

Zhou Xuan's previous wish was to be a scholar.

Just teaching in Bei University like his mom was enough. There wasn't any big aspiration.

Later he dated a heiress. Although it can be said that it was successful pursue, it was more like the heiress, He Mian Mian who pursued him instead.

In fact, he loved He Mian Mian. Like deeply love kind.

Although he hadn't said it before, he knew very well that there was still a gap in difference with He Family. Even when his own conditions weren't bad at all,

After all, one was in politics and the other was in business. Since ancient times, the status of merchants had been relatively low. So he had embarked on the road of politics.

At the beginning, he did it to be worthy of his beloved heiress. Afterward, he really liked the situation he was in. Whether it managing the road or improving the local public order, he fell in love with his profession.

It must be fate. He and Han Xu Jie were assigned to the same provincial city.

He took the literary road and Han Xu Jie took the martial art road. Still, the two people have the same philosophy, which was to wipe out the bad social influence and give the people a bright future.

He indeed accomplished it with Han Xu Jie. The two tacitly cooperated and the entire province's environment was excellent.

He and He Mian Mian had a wedding banquet when he was 24 years old.

Originally, Zhou Xuan had planned for it at the age of twenty-six at the earliest. As for the marriage certificate, the two of them had already got it sorted at the early age of twenty-two.

It was just that no one at home knew.

The wedding banquet was held at the age of twenty-four because He Mian Mian became pregnant by accident.

It was just one time. The one time they couldn't help it and had no contraception. So the two healthy individual picked up a baby.

So, they can only set up the banquet when they went home during the New Year.

They had to take out the marriage certificate and explained that it was just organizing a wedding banquet. The two of them legalized the marriage two years ago.

The two families were put under control. After this, it wasn't difficult to understand the behavior of the two people sticking together and the husband sing, the wife follow action.

Zhou Xuan birthed a daughter. The baby girl He Mian Mian wished for.

She looked extraordinarily cute. With Han Xu Jie and Zhong Qing's genius son, they were considered childhood sweethearts.

After Han Xu Jie and Zhong Qing were matched by Lin Qing He back then, the relationship was tied very fast. Because the feeling was exposed by Lin Qing He, the two didn't have so many misunderstandings and twists.

They came together naturally.

The married the first year and gave birth to a son the second. He was two years older than Zhou Xuan and He Mian Mian's daughter. An elder brother from next door.

This genius elder brother from next door had been very cool since he was a child.

Of course, as the son of the male lead and female lead, how could he someone ordinary. Since he was a child, he had been the proud son of heaven. A cool little brother.

It was just that the cool little brother couldn't withstand against the doll-like little sister from the house next door. Since little, she had been running behind him.

He showed a cold expressionless face to everyone. But only to the little sister from next door, he was like a melted spring snow. His only little bit of gentleness was given to this little sister.

But when she was in high school, this little sister had teen love. What's more, when she was cheated and abandoned by the classmate who held her hands, she cried sorrowfully. Weeping, she came to look for him.

Only then, he knew about it. His face went dark at once. But seeing her crying so sad, he didn't scold her. Just told her not to fall in love early and study hard every day.

Elder Brother Han Xi was really bad. She was so sad and he still said that. Even more like a class teacher than her class teacher.

Later, Zhou Yan knew why her Elder Brother Han Xi from next door was so angry about her teen love.

When she was in her freshman year, he went to her college to see her. She was definitely going to do her best as the host and took him around.

Elder Brother Han Xi asked her if she had a boyfriend?

She really didn't have one at that time. Although there someone chasing after her, she didn't plan to accept. He wasn't the type she liked.

She gave her elder brother Han Xi the truth. Then she was dragged behind a big tree by her elder brother Han Xi and got kissed until she nearly blacked out before get let go by her elder brother Han Xi.

After letting her go, he looked at her with his eyes glowing green and stated; putting a mark on her first to say she was taken.

Zhou Yan was stunned. She regarded him as her elder brother, while he wanted to mark her!

But... But her heart beats so fast. She had never seen this side of Elder Brother Han Xi.

She pushed him away and ran away with her face covered.

Later, he would come over every week. Coming so frequently that everyone around her knew of his existence.

There was no need to say anything in particular. It naturally spread.

School flower, Zhou Yan had a boyfriend and they were childhood sweethearts who grew up together.

He was tall and handsome. Of course, they didn't know about his identity as the governor's son.

Just his appearance and figure alone was enough to shoo away all the flowers and grasses around Zhou Yan.

In the days to come, Zhou Yan couldn't figure it out. When did he start to think about her in that way?

She didn't know. She had always treated him like her elder brother.

They went through the phase of two little innocent playmates to campus romance and then to putting on a wedding dress. Everything seemed so natural.

Toward the two's matters, both families' parents were delighted to see it happen. They didn't object at all.

Even when her grandmother heard about it, there was no objection after meeting Han Xi.

Since they grew up together, there was no need to mention the feeling. So the relationship with Han Xi after marriage was very strong. The two knew each other too well.

Especially when Han Xi treated her, Zhou Yan felt that she was always eaten to death by him. She sometimes wanted to be angry, but he always had a way to make her happy.

Zhou Yan felt that her life seem to fall into place.

Zhou Yan didn't give birth so quickly after marriage. She felt that she was still a child. How could she possibly have a child so soon?

But there were always accidents. When she got married at the age of 26, she became pregnant because of an accident.

It was exactly the same as when her parents had her.

Now it happened, what else can they do? It went without saying she can only give birth. And it was a son. He was considered to be first of the next generation in old Zhou Family.

Little Ye Ma a.k.a Zhou Ju wasn't as fast as her. He didn't get married and have a child until he was in his 30s.

Second had a smooth path in politics. Because of his good political performance, he was transferred back to the capital in '07 and took over his father-in-law's position.

With his old father-in-law's lifetime of network, he would have no worry as long as he knew what he was doing. His future will definitely be bright.

After being transferred back to the capital, there were more opportunities to connect with his parents. It will no longer be like when he was outside. Sometimes he didn't have the chance come back once in a whole year.

He admired his parents. It had only been a few years and the family had developed to this level.

Even in this huge capital city, they were a veritable wealthy family.

Eldest gone into the army. Second was in politics. The youngest son, Zhou Gui Lai chose to be in business.

When his dad opened a dumpling shop in the past, his wish was to open a dumpling factory by himself in the future and become the dumpling king.

But then his mind changed and he didn't make dumplings like his dad.

At the end of the '80s, he opened the first wine shop in partnership with his second brother-in-law. Then he opened the second shop in partnership with his mom.

Both wine shops were very profitable. Especially after they got familiar with the operation. What's more, this kid had wide connections. Don't know where he got acquainted with some people in the society. He went to open a bar with others.

The bar was later blocked. Not for any particular reason. It was because of some fights. Still, Third didn't suffer any loss. The operation of the bar almost opened up a new world for him. This kid got into the bar industry.

He partnered with his second brother-in-law. If not, he started it by himself. In the 1990s, the money was really profitable.

It was just that his mom would clip his ears to lecture him from time to time. She won't recognize him as her son if he dared to get involved in wicked things.

Third grew up with a good education. There was indeed none of those wicked things in his bar. The bar was just a bar.

Even so, it was extremely profitable.

His wine shop chain had increased one by one. Before his parents knew it, there were dozens of chain stores in the capital.

His parents only knew to ask because they happened to see one here and one there when they were out. It was unknown when it began and end up opening so many.

This hooligan Third's romance was a bit messed up.

When he was in his early twenties, he thought about marrying a wife. But from the age of twenty-three, he didn't want to marry a wife at all.

Just wanted to play.

Even Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai didn't know that he had a history with a certain '90s actress.

This womanizer didn't settle down until he was thirty years old. He married a wife, which he found himself.

She was also from a big family in the capital. However, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai weren't very pleased. Because that family wasn't very good and the reputation was terrible. They came over after washing white.

Using the golden basin to wash hand was still using the golden basin to wash hands. Still, it was unproper to show.

It was just that the girl was indeed a good girl. According to Lin Qing He's words, she was eaten to death by her third.

The other party was still heiress. When they got married, her dowry was car. Besides that, there were a lot of other things. One can tell that they were very satisfied with Zhou Gui Lai as their son-in-law.

With Zhou Family's current financial resources and connections, they still can't shake Zhou Family's side even when they have some strength. Therefore, after Third's wedding both lived their own life despite in-law families.

Only Zhou Gui Lai and his would interact with both families.

In comparison, Lin Qing He was closer to her eldest daughter-in-law's family and second daughter-in-law's family.

Of course, Lin Qing He didn't treat this third daughter-in-law badly. All received equal treatment. It was just, she didn't socialize with her maternal family much.

Eldest and Second both have established career and adhered to the family planning policy. So they only had one child.

While, Third didn't have so many concerns.

He simply over-birth. The first child was a son. However, Third wanted a daughter, so the couple went for another child. Unfortunately, it was still a son.

In order to over-birth this son, they had spent more than 100,000 yuan. If not, they couldn't achieve their wish.

Third was envious of his second brother.

However, Third still benefited. Because having one more child, it meant inheriting more assets in the future.

Of course this was all matter of the future.

The two sons were also troublemakers.

Although they weren't as naughty as their eldest cousin brother, they weren't much better either. After the marriage, Third's family moved out. Although they would come every day, they still went out to live by themselves.

It was said that the parents in the community took their children and left when they saw the two boys from his family.

What should else could they do beside taking them away? It can't letting them stay and get beaten by the two?

Don't know who these boys of this generation inherited their genes from. They were really scary.

They will be sensible when they grow up. But before the age of fifteen, people and dogs disliked them.

The main point was that they were particularly able to fight. No matter whether it was Eldest's little Ye Ma or Third's two boys, they were the kind who dare to fight with two or three.

If such a kid wasn't suppress and educated a bit, he will surely cause havoc when he grows up.

Herding sheep ah! Herding one was still herding. Herding two was also herding. Eldest's little Ye Ma were sent over at the time. So Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai went on a trip with these carrot heads.

They ate delicious food and had fun. They make them happy for a while. Once they come back, they'll remember travelling was very fun and want to go with their grandparents the next time.

Like this, they had a weakness. Not be obedient? Then they won't take them on their trip in the future. Let them play in the mud at home.

If a child was really naughty, the adults must educate them well. Not choosing to let them go wild.

Got to suppress a bit. When they grow up, they won't dare to cause all kind of havoc.

It was worth mentioning that Lin Qing He especially disliked Third Daughter-in-law's dad's method of teaching when it came to educating her Third's two sons.

Because she heard from her two grandsons that their grandpa praised them for beating people well.

Originally they were from black background. After washing white, it still couldn't hide that banditry.

It was enough that they were like this. And they dare to teach her grandsons the wicked ways! How could she agree? She just told Third Daughter-in-law to take two children back to her maternal home less.

For this reason, that side made a call over.

Third Daughter-in-law wasn't the only child, so the two grandchildren weren't actually scarce. What made them rare was that these two grandsons inheriting the good genes of Zhou family.

They looked pretty. Strong and healthy. In addition, they were extraordinarily cute. Zhao Family naturally favored these two grandsons.

Lin Qing He refused to budge a step on the phone. Although she wasn't so rude, she had directly told that side to not to interfere with the education of the children.

Zhao Family's position wasn't low, but Zhou Family wasn't someone they can look down on. So they admit that they were wrong and will definitely not say that next time.

But let the children go over.

Since Zhao Family corrected their attitude, she let the matter drop. However, in the end, Lin Qing He wasn't satisfied after all.

Despite her dissatisfaction, she didn't stop the grandsons from going to their maternal grandparents' house.

Third Daughter-in-law probably sensed it. She basically didn't dare to talk about her maternal family's affairs in front of mother-in-law. In the end, her mother-in-law didn't have any prejudice against her. What her two sisters-in-law had, she also had.

Dark Mode

As the youngest of the second generation of Zhou Family, Zhou Mi's seniority was very high.

Whether it was Wang Yuan Family's twins or Zhou San Ni's Pang Pang, they had to call her Aunt even when they are older than her.

Undoubtedly, Zhou Mi was born in a honeypot. There was basically nothing that blocked her merry mood since she was a child.

And because the family conditions were too good, Lin Qing He was worried that her mental quality was too bad. So she heartlessly sent little Mi Mi to the army where her elder brother was.

She intended to let her stay there for a while.

For this matter, her father, who had never be in conflict with her mom, was angry with her mom for the first time. It was said that he ignored her mom for a whole night.

Thinking about it was a little funny.

In the end, she was sent over.

It was impossible for Zhou Mi to say that she wasn't suffering nor tired during that period. She was a little princess from childhood. Until she was seven years old, her dad still held her.

A veritable pearl in the palm. To be suddenly thrown into the army, how could she not feel uncomfortable?

But in the end, she was the daughter of Zhou Family. It was difficult. She had secretly shed tears at night on a few occasion.

But persisting through the initial period, she had completely adapted to it. What's more, she fell in love with this kind of training.

Although she was more tanned after returning, she still missed the time in the army.

It was only half a year. Still, all aspects of the body have improved a lot. Now, she can fight with an adult man one-on-one and can beat the other party to the ground.

Zhou Family's good girl and a pearl in her palm was brutally destroyed by Lin Qing He. She became a self-reliant girl.

During the six months she went to the camp, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai had visited. Went two or three times. However, Zhou Mi didn't know. Zhou Qing Bai's eyes were red.

Lin Qing He wanted to laugh when she thought of it. The biggest weakness of this tough guy was his youngest daughter. He was really afraid of her falling when holding in his hands.

It was because he overly spoiled her that she had no choice but to take this action.

After Mi Mi graduated, she went to work. She didn't work for her family. She went to find a job by herself.

She studied finance and it wasn't hard to find a job.

Lin Qing He thought that it was a good idea to go to work by herself. After all, work was a great way to train people.

However, she expected a domineering president came to knocking on the door soon after she started working.

According to Lin Qing He, he was a domineering president. While according to Zhou Qing Bai, he was a foolish youth. A blockhead.

His family was rich. Not only were they rich, they were also top wealthy family of the capital. Lin Qing He had heard of his family's brand.

But he was a man of pleasure.

When he pursued over for the first time, it was encountered by Third. Third directly beaten him up.

Because Third had heard of this hooligan boy. It was said that he had raised a mistress. What's more, he change one once a month. The shelf life wasn't more than a month.

How could this kind of good be worthy of his baby sister?

It wasn't only Zhou Gui Lai who thinks this way. Zhou Qing Bai too. There was no room for consideration.

Of course, the mom, Lin Qing He thought so too.

But this kid was a particularly thick faced. At every corner, he can get related with Zhou Family.

He did have a somewhat distant relative relationship with Third's wife's family.

Zhou Mi thought that this kind of difficulty wasn't a difficulty. But in the face of such a brazen man, she finally resigned.

But the entanglement had just begun.

That kid didn't act decent before. But after getting to know Zhou Mi, those flowery news hardly appeared again.

It showed an intention to turn a new leaf.

The kid's surname was Wang. Wang was a very common surname here in the capital. It was also the same surname as Wang Yuan, but the weren't related.

His name was Wang Yi.

Wang Yi was an idler in the Wang family. But now his change wasn't small. Wang Family had entrusted the distant relative, Zhao Family to mediate.

But what was there to say? Was Zhou Family's princess someone like Wang Yi can marry?

Putting aside the sesame-sized peach blossom news and talk about himself, what ability did he have to marry the little princess of Zhou Family?

Without Wang Family, what would Wang Yi be?

Lin Qing He was particularly clean-cut and direct. After receiving a call from Zhao Family, these words straightforwardly deflected them.

It also showed the attitude of Zhou Family. Even when Wang Family had a good background, Zhou Family didn't care.

What kind of family was Zhou Family now? How can they let their daughter marry for business? So it was directly rejected.

But Wang Yi didn't give up. This kid went out to start a company by himself. He had no experience at all and lost everything. Of course, his compensation had little effect on the family.

Still, Wang Yi's self-confidence received an unprecedented blow.

He seemed to understand that without the support of Wang Family, he didn't even amount to a fart.

It was precisely because he understood that, he submerged himself in alcohol for a few days. Afterward, some unknown muscle cramped and he started from the grassroots level. There was no news from him.

Zhou Family thought that this was the end of the matter. However, within three years, this kid stood in front of Zhou Mi again.

At that time, Zhou Mi had just gotten a boyfriend. Zhou Family's rules were strict. At most, they can hold hands. Still, Zhou Mi was dating with the aim of marriage.

Who could have known that he had cheated. What's more, with a best friend she knew.

Such a cliché thing actually appeared in her world.

Zhou Mi had taken a blow. When Wang Yi appeared, it was at Zhou Mi' lowest point.

Although she was down, Zhou Mi didn't have a good impression of Wang Yi. She simply put him on the blacklist with her scum ex-boyfriend.

But the saying, 'great female fear pestering romeo' wasn't false.

Wang Yi had been pursuing her for full eight years. After he met her at the age of 22, he began to clean himself up.

After that, he struggled alone for three years and set up a company that didn't depend on his family. The annual profit exceeded one million. Which wasn't much in the eyes of a wealthy family like them.

Later, the company expanded. There was also a game development company under his name and the profits were very substantial.

After tailing around with Zhou Mi for a few years, Zhou Mi had enough of him in the end. She took him over to do systematic physical examination. After getting the physical examination report that stated he was illness-free and was still healthy, Zhou Mi nodded for some unknown reason.

Wang Yi, the prodigal son, finally embraced the beauty. But from the beginning to the end, his father-in-law and mother-in-law found him unpleasing to the eye.

It was only after he behaved very well after marriage and the grandson was born did they show him any good face.

Dark Mode

Earlier, Lin Qing He had wanted match Gang Zi to her maternal niece, Lin Xiu. However, the two didn't need her to match them. At some unknown time, the two of them quietly dated by themselves.

Later, Lin Qing He noticed that the atmosphere between the two people seemed to be different and asked about it.

And discovered that it had been happening for almost two months!

Although Lin Qing He reprimanded her maternal niece, there was nothing else.

She watched Gang Zi grow up. He was a hard-working and diligent. In the future, he won't do badly.

In the early '90s, Gang Zi couldn't afford to buy a house. He bought a commercial house of more than 80 square meters in the mid-'90s. The location was very good. He spent 160,000 yuan.

It was almost all of Gang Zi's net worth.

Gang Zi and Lin Xiu married in the same year the house was bought.

Lin Qinghe took care of the furniture for them. The whole set of furniture were treated as her wedding gifts for them.

The two were blissful after marriage. Lin Xiu still worked as an accountant at Lin Qing He's side. As for Gang Zi, he set up a stall for two more years. Then he didn't continue to set up stalls anymore.

After 'Grandpa Zhou' chain store went into operation, he directly became the manager of a few "Grandpa Zhou' shops and began to receive his salary.

Still his luck was good. Didn't he buy a store before? That store was demolished and the area was used to build a road. So he was compensated a lot.

With this money, Gang Zi changed for another shop. A particularly good shop. Then he went over to study in his maternal aunt's dried good shop for more than half a month. After that, he came out and opened a dried good shop by himself.

He collected the goods from his maternal aunt's shop, which was very convenient.

His luck was really good. The shop hadn't opened for long. In less than half a year, a new market was built over there.

So Gang Zi made a fortune. It was definitely a good profit. One can tell since he went to get the goods twice a month.

He and Lin Xiu had a daughter. The family of three lived happily.

Xu Sheng Qiang had married a wife. She was a local citizen in the capital. She wasn't pretty but she was very capable inside and outside.

It was Lin Qing He who introduced her to him.

Later, the two married and gave birth to a son. Lin Qing He got Xu Sheng Qiang couple to buy a house in the late '90s.

She didn't pitch in but gave a proof of income. She told them to go to the bank for a loan on their own. Then they can slowly repay it later.

Speaking of Xu Sheng Qiang, there was another thing worth mentioning. His elder sister, Xu Sheng Mei.

Later, his elder sister Xu Sheng Mei divorced again and never married again. But she didn't mingle bad at all. Only had a poor reputation.

Because she later matched with an old man who was more than 20 years older than her. His son was older than her and still she went to be a stepmother.

Out of the second generation, Zhou Er Ni married the best.

She married Wang Yuan. Although Wang Yuan was rich and powerful, he wasn't a playboy. He had a very strong relationship with Zhou Er Ni. The twins were sent abroad to study.

The two of them couldn't be any more carefree.

Zhou Si Ni had also married well. She married Weng Guo Dong, who had an iron rice bowl. Which was safe and stable and their social status wasn't low.

After Zhou San Ni and Li Ai Guo went out on their own, their business wasn't as good as Lin Qing He's side. Still, it wasn't bad either.

The couple had bought a flat at the end of the '90s. It was more than 100 square meters. Still, they bought it in full.

According to Zhou San Ni's statement, after buying this flat, she can feel at ease.

Zhou Wu Ni settled in Hai City. Jiang Heng took care of the business in Hai City. The two got dual income. They had borrowed Lin Qing He's place to stay until '02. Only then, they went out to buy a house by themselves.

The one that had the best relationship with Lin Qing He was Zhou Xiao Mei.

Zhou Xiao Mei and Su Da Lin came together a the beginning thanks to her. Later, they lived happily. All four children were college students.

Of course, with Lin Qing He's support, Zhou Xiao Mei paid a down payment for the four siblings. Then she told them to go to work by themselves and repay the loan for their own house.

Anyone in the capital basically had at least one house of their own.

So when the real estate here in the capital turned over, all these young people grinned ear to ear.

Fortunately, they bought it early. Otherwise can they still afford it? A small house was worth millions, which was a sky-high price.

Everyone in Zhou Family had it stable in the capital. No matter what, they didn't need to rent a house. They were at the forefront and all have their own houses.

Later, Mother Weng, this in-law family, also bought a house under Lin Qing He's suggestion.

Because the clothing business wasn't do very good, it was better to buy a house to rent out. There was income every month.

Of course, because the shop was bought by herself in the past, there was no rental payment required. Mother Weng wasn't worried about losing money. So the couple's life was relatively secure.

They were all covered by social insurance. There was no cost to see a doctor and take medicine.

The development in their hometown was also very good.

Third Brother had changed his motorcycle to a truck and opened another shop. Still, he couldn't compare to Third Brother Lin in the end.

Third Brother Lin bought two houses in the county city. When the two houses were bought, one was 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. Later, it rose to 100,000 yuan for one. Still, Third Brother Lin didn't sell it. He held on to it.

Even when Third Brother didn't know, he revealed it to his third sister, Lin Qing He.

He will leave it to his two sons in the future.

Both of Third Brother Lin's sons were also doing business in the county city. They were considered to have inherited their father's profession.

Zhou Xia was also living well. While, Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law had never seen each other again for the rest of their entire lives. The money was sent back every month.

Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law were almost the winners in life. They are cadres in the village and their days were vibrant.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai lived to their nineties.

When Lin Qing He got up that morning, Lin Qing He had a hunch. She was at this age, how could she not have an idea?

Lin Qing He smilingly told Zhou Qing Bai: "My space is gone. I think it's almost time for me."

Zhou Qing Bai just grasped her hand and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid. I will be with you."

Lin Qing He left in the afternoon. She had departed very peacefully. All the children came over.

Zhou Qing Bai passed his final words.

There wasn't much to instruct. Because their age was high, the family property that should be divided were divided and the will that should be made were made.

So after giving his final words, Zhou Qing Bai took his wife's hand and lay down beside her slowly. Before he died, he only said: "Wife, I'm coming. It's dark underneath, I'll accompany you. Don't be afraid."
