Chapter 112 Family ruin

Chapter 112. Family ruin

"Alright." Mother Zhou smiled and agreed.

No wonder Xiao Mei was close to her fourth sister-in-law. She treated her very well.

Otherwise, with Fourth’s wife’s personality, she won’t necessarily bother to mention so much, let alone taking care of the child.

Mother Zhou didn’t remain any longer and returned.

"Mother, when are you going to buy me football?" Da Wa asked as he ate the cake.

"After a while," Lin Qing He replied.

Once she saved more pork, she would then go to the county city to sell it.

Zhou Qing Bai kept silent. He never asked about his household affairs, it was all left to his wife. The house was his wife’s world. Even he had to obey his wife.

The days passed one by one. It’ went really fast.

Soon March was over and entered into April.

At the end of the year, they were busy all year round except during the end of the year, where they can be idle in winter isolation.

Zhou Qing Bai was occupied, but no matter how he busy was, he would still catch some eel and loach from time to time. Lin Qing He would cook it for him.

Stewed loach with tofu, braised eel, and the rest were all delectable and nutritious.

While the promised football for Da Wa was bought by Lin Qing He in her following trip to sell the pork.

As soon as Da Wa arrived home, he saw that Er Wa and San Wa playing football and screeched out in happiness. He dropped his school bag and went to play football.

The children in the village were extremely envious and then flocked over to join.

Da Wa had no objection and they played together.

Of course, they had to have a good relation with him. If they didn’t or was unfamiliar, they can stand at one side and not participate.

Such a new football was bought, had those half-grown boys envious when they saw it.

Zhou Da Wa’s mother was indeed the best mother in the village. It was enough that she made all kinds of nice things for Da Wa and his brothers to eat, but now she even bought such an expensive thing like a football.

Was there a better mother than this?

That was how the children in the village thought, however, the adults shook their heads.

Qing Bai’s wife was really worthy of being the number one family ruiner wife in the village, who doesn’t know how to manage a family. What fun was there in kicking a football? Not only it cost a lot of money, but this was also toys for city kids. What need was there to buy this for kids in the countryside to play?

She really didn’t know how to live life.

According to those who saw it in the mall, this football cost more than 20 yuan.

My god, how much money was received from working in the field all year round? It wasn’t easy for Zhou Qing Bai to support the family with ten work points. The family also had a terrible wife in charge, meaning he could forget about having a penny left.

Wang Ling from the village asked Second Sister-in-law: "Didn’t you say that she has no money? If she got none, how can she buy a football for her son to play? That one costs more than 20 yuan!"

"Who doesn’t know that she wants pride so much even if it meant suffering. It must be because she doesn’t want to let outsiders know that she has no money so she’s stretching it." Second Sister-in-law didn’t want to believe that Lin Qing He still had money, so she could only explain it like this.

But Wang Ling didn’t believe it: "Wasn’t it said that wanted to eat sponge cake a while ago? I heard that it was also very tasty. Maybe your Fourth Brother-in-law brought back so much money on his retirement, otherwise, how could she spend it like this?"

"Impossible. I heard people say that she went to borrow money from her maternal family. There’s no mistake." Second Sister-in-law stated.

"So what? It must be because your Fourth Brother-in-law brought the money back and she didn’t want her maternal family to benefit, so she deliberately went to find something to make trouble with her maternal family." Wang Ling snorted.

Gotta say, Wang Ling actually hit the bullseye. Second Sister-in-law turned her nose up: "You don’t know how much she valued her maternal family in the past. She couldn’t deliberately find faults. I remember one time my fourth brother-in-law sent back a brand new army coat and she took it back to her maternal family."

Mentioning this, Second Sister-in-law gritted her teeth.

It was very cold that year. Her family lacked a quilt. In fact, she just wanted to borrow to cover a bit, but Lin Qing He gave no leeway and simply refused.

Then she took it back to her maternal family. Her mother-in-law had nagging about it, however, that unfilial Lin Qing He didn’t care at all.

Wang Ling was also talking nonsense before, so at these words, she just curled her lips and didn’t continue.

"I really sympathize with you. You both married into the Zhou Family and why do you live like this? You have to enter the field and earn work points even when you have a big belly, while she doesn’t need to do anything." Wang Ling said.

At the mention of this, Second Sister-in-law was oozing blood, she replied, "I don’t have her kind of fortune, what can I do?"

"But having said that, why she hasn’t been pregnant for so long? Her youngest son is two years old this year, right?" Wang Ling said.

"I don’t know." Second Sister-in-law was not interested in this and thought how she wished for Lin Qing He to be unable to give birth. This woman’s life was too fortunate. It was enough that she was able to marry a man like Fourth Brother, but her stomach was also full of capability. Three in a row were all sons.

"Do you think she is infertile?" Wang Ling asked.

Second Sister-in-law waved her hand: "She already birthed three sons, do you thinks she’s infertile?

Wang Ling choked. About birthing son, no one in the whole village could not match Lin Qing He on this. Only few could birth three sons continuously.

"Quickly cut it. I’m heading back to rest after handing in the task. This day is getting hotter and hotter," urged Second Sister-in-law.

She and Wang Ling wais cutting pigweed.

Wang Ling didn’t say anything and cut the pigweed seriously.

The perpetrator of the football incident, Lin Qing He was also cutting the pigweed. After getting pigweed, she dug a handful of wild vegetables. These were for the salad for lunch.

At noon, eating bean flour mantou with fried meat with wild vegetables and a poached egg was enough.

Although her family’s diet was number one in the village, Lin Qing He often made some staple meals with coarse grains added in.

Bean flour mantou and cornmeal mantou were often eaten at home.

The rest was wild vegetables. The fruits and vegetables grown in the backyard were also often eaten at home.

The boys in the family had sturdy teeth. They basically ate whatever she made and wasn’t picky. Of course, this was also due to Lin Qing He not having to work, otherwise she would have no mood to make tasty food and just casually eat whatever.

Lunch, they had bean flour mantou with poached eggs and fried meat with wild vegetables.

Zhou Qing Bai brought up the matter of going to buy fertilizer tomorrow.

All these things were entrusted to him by the team.

"Will you come back for lunch tomorrow?" Lin Qing He asked.

"No." Zhou Qing Bai will return home in the evening tomorrow.

The next morning, after Lin Qing He had made breakfast, she went to get him food and meat coupons and money: "Remember to eat well outside. You don’t need to save this money."

"Okay." Zhou Qing Bai smiled.

Zhou Qing Bai worked away, while Lin Qing He studied and memorized the text at home.

She thought that Zhou Qingbai was simply going to buy pesticides, But in fact, Zhou Qing Bai didn’t simply return after getting pesticides. He came over to the Public Security Bureau to find his old comrade.
