Chapter 691. Plan for Second Brother


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.
