Chapter 693: Only in name marriage

Dark Mode

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.
