Chapter 465

Chapter 465. Man-eating flower

Lin Qing He went through and totaled the accounts. She took the money out of the cabinet to count again before putting it into the space.

Then she came to the dumpling shop. It had been hard on her family’s little Third in the past two months. Shouldn’t she come to encourage him?

"Third, why do we have an extra refrigerator at home?" Lin Qing He asked.

There was an extra refrigerator in the house with a lot of drinks and ice cream in it. She didn’t give any criticism.

"I bought it. Used the pocket money I saved myself. I didn’t put it on the account." Zhou Gui Lai lifted his chin and answered with slight proudness.

"This is a contribution to the family." Lin Qing He beamed as she directed this at her youngest son.

"It’s nothing. It’s just a refrigerator." Zhou Gui Lai was in a good mood and carefreely responded.

Those pocket money was his effort money. It was saved by himself. Then he bought it. After buying it, its use was large.

When he come back home in the evening night, how refreshing it was to have a popsicle or chilled drink.

"It seems that your second brother is going down the literature road. We will have to rely on Third to hold up our business in the future." Lin Qing He held one of his hand.

"It’s okay, I’m used to it." Zhou Gui Lai said.

He said it like it was so tough. Lin Qing He smiled, "When your dad comes back, let him take over and give you a vacation. You will be back to school in a few days. You can take your sister San Ni and Third Brother-in-law around those few days."

"No going. The weather is too hot. I still got military training once school starts. I’ll get more than enough sun bathing then." Zhou Gui Lai refused to be tour guide: "Mom, ask Second Brother to take them."

"Where is your second brother?" Lin Qing He asked. She didn’t see since she got up early this morning.

"He went to the Temple of Heaven with a drawing board on his back. In the afternoon, he got tutoring to give. He only got some time in the evening." Zhou Gui Lai bitterly let out.

Lin Qing He was curious: "Why is your second brother suddenly interested in painting?"

"I don’t know. Looking at his painting, it seem pretty good. We have a lot of his finished products in our room. Also at our grandparent’s side. A good few were gifted away. Grandmother precious it like something and told Grandfather to mount it and hang it on the wall." Zhou Gui Lai told.

His second brother had become into art and literature now, Zhou Gui Lai remembered and spoke: "Second Brother wants to buy a guitar."

"Okay." Lin Qing He had no objection. It was a good thing to have a hobby.

"A good one is worth several hundred." Zhou Gui Lai was still a little bit reluctant to buy it for his second brother.

"Buy it. Your camera is much more expensive than his guitar." Lin Qing He said.

Zhou Gui Lai grinned. His camera was really without a flaw. The quality was top-notch and more face-gaining to bring out.

"You two brothers both got good stuff, while your eldest brother doesn’t." Lin Qing He sighed in melancholy.

"Eldest Brother can’t play anything over there. Mom, you can make him something to eat and send over." Zhou Gui Lai said.

Lin Qing He had the same thought. But in this hot weather, what can she make to send? At this time, the express delivery wasn’t as professional as later generations and it was very slow. Even when one want to send food over, they have to wait for the cold weather to send it over.

"How’s Xu Sheng Qiang? Is he studying hard?" Lin Qing He changed the subject.

"I didn’t hear about it from Brother Gang Zi. There should be no problem." Zhou Gui Lai said and then he curled his lips: "Mom, you don’t know how disgusting the neighboring old Zhang Family is."

"What’s the matter?" Lin Qing He asked.

"That Zhang Mei Lian. Seeing that you and Dad aren’t at home, she came knocking to find Brother Hu Zi." Zhou Gui Lai harrumphed.

Zhang Mei Lian was rejected by Hu Zi last time. Still, she didn’t give up on it. So, she stirred something up this summer vacation.

Purposely sought out Hu Zi. Like knocking on the door to find Hu Zi.

Of course, she had looked for Hu Zi before this. Hu Zi had avoided her and detoured when he saw her.

It never crossed his mind that she would come to the door.

This Mei Lian made Hu Zi disgusted. What should be said had been said. What should be avoided, he avoided. Did he have to rip open the facade before she is willing stop?

Besides, wasn’t what he said that time obvious?

It can’t be that she thought Zhou Qing Bai and Lin Qing He weren’t home, there was no one holding the rein at home.

Zhou Gui Lai wasn’t a polite. With just a sentence, he made Zhang Mei Lian go back stiffly.

He simply said: "It’s spread all over the community. We all know. You’re trying to bully my honest brother Hu Zi and want to Hu Zi to take you in?"

Really, Zhang Mei Lian didn’t expect him to not give face and actually dare to say it!

Probably due to losing face and knew that Hu Zi won’t marry her, so Zhang Mei Lian moved out within a few days.

Since then old Madam Zhang, found them extremely displeasing to her eyes

Zhou Gui Lai and the others didn’t care a bit. As if they would be afraid of that old Zhang Family. Both Zhou Gui Lai and Zhou Xuan know that their grandfather had been exiled for so many years and it was thanks to this neighbor, old Zhang Famil’s past credit!

"Really got no lower limit!" Lin Qing He sneered after listening.

"Mom, you have to guard against Xu Sheng Mei. I heard from Granny Xu that she had seen Zhang Mei Lian talk with Xu Sheng Mei and seem tto got a lot to talk." Zhou Gui Lai mentioned while making dumplings.

Granny Xu was Old Madam Xu from the small workshop. Lin Qing He frowned and said, "Why is Xu Sheng Mei mingling with Zhang Mei Lian?"

"I don’t know. Nothing comes from it." Zhou Gui Lai harrumphed.

He was originally nice to Xu Sheng Mei. After all, he had no sister. Xu Sheng Mei was soft and weak. What’s more, she was his cousin sister. He must take care of her. He had often treated her to ice cream.

But now, no good impression remained.

He felt that this cousin was simply a human-eating flower. Appeared soft and weak but that was only on the surface. Its mouth can swallow a person whole.

What’s more, Zhou Gui Llai felt that his family was betrayed by this cousin with a black knife.

Did his mom disallow her to date at this side? If it was forbidden, then why would she let Sister Er Ni date Brother Wang Yuan?

It was she who wanted find someone by herself and got together with Zhao Jun.

This summer, Xu Sheng Mei had brought Zhao Jun to the dumpling shop for a visit. Then Zhao Jun came in and crossed his legs. He spoke in a very arrogant manner. Really regarded himself as a green onion. What did he think he was?

Zhou Gui Lai didn’t have them stay for a meal and just sent them away.

"By the way, Xu Sheng Mei is pregnant again." Zhou Gui Lai said.

Lin Qing He saw Zhou Qing Bai had come back and uttered, "Never mind about her."

Then she directed, "Leave the dumpling shop to your dad. You and I will go grocery shopping. Wang Yuan, your sister San Ni and Third Sister-in-law will come over for a meal at noon.

"Dad, I’ll leave it to you. I’m going shopping with my mom. Brother Wang Yuan likes fried pork with green peppers. We’ll buy him some later." Zhou Gui Lai said to his dad.

He didn’t have any good feelings for Zhao Jun. But his impression of Wang Yuan, who was his prospective second brother-in-law, was top-notch.
