[Part 2] Back To The Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise The Cubs

Chapter 339

Zhou Xiao Mei felt that her mother could have a daughter-in-law like her fourth sister-in-law was simply a blessing.

Honestly speaking, if she had parents-in-law, she might not be so respectful and filial like her fourth sister-in-law.

It can be seen during the times in their hometown.

There were three elder brothers in front and she can still agree to let the two elders come to eat together with them at home.

It was even more apparent now. She brought the two elders over to the capital to live in comfort and arrange such a place for them to live in.

Also, there was also a TV and an electric fan. How good was this?

Zhou Xiao Mei pondered. If she had parents-in-law, she would never be able to do this.

Mother Zhou said: "I'm not saying that your fourth sister-in-law is not good. It's just one got to be more frugal in life."

She had been prudent all her life, so some concepts will naturally clash together.

So Lin Qing He would give what should be given and give the respect she deserved. These were all looking upon Zhou Qing Bai's face. As for the rest, she won't listen to Mother Zhou, the mother-in-law. Sometimes she did feel impatient.  She can show attitude on the spot. No reservation at all.

But on the matter of filial piety, no one can point out her weakness.

Zhou Xiao Mei said in a huff: "My fourth sister-in-law has always been like this. It was the same before. In the past, you used to say that she doesn't know how to live. Now, take a good look. Which of my brothers has a better life than my fourth brother? Fourth Brother has such a good life is due to Fourth Sister-in-law's capability, no?"

Zhou Xiao Mei had always admired her fourth sister-in-law.

Before, there was no admiration. She used to think that she was good-looking and know how to dress up. She would have face when going out with her.

But don't know when it started, she admired her fourth sister-in-law more and more.

The most memorable was when she stated her opinions with determination for her to split with her match then.

At that time, she was still indecisive. If she hadn't listened to her fourth sister-in-law, nine out of ten she would marry into that family.

Later, she witnessed the female colleague, who picked her former match, and her life. She was very thankful. Fortunately, she listened to her fourth sister-in-law!

Later, her fourth sister-in-law approved of her being with Da Lin.

Da Lin stuttered a bit but apart from this, he was impeccable. Now she got four children. Zhou Xiao Mei felt happiness.

At the same time, she admired and appreciated Lin Qing He.

Zhou Qing Bai had already set up the TV and it started broadcasting. Soon people appeared on TV. The nephews and nieces were delighted.

"Mother, the TV is set up. you can watch it later." Zhou Qing Bai said.

"It's too expensive. Also, the electricity bill." Mother Zhou muttered.

"We'll pay the electricity bill. I'll get Da Lin to pay it to the Electricity Management Bureau then." Zhou Xiao Mei stated.

Zhou Qing Bai didn't say anything. He knew his mother, so he didn't talk to her much.

After telling his sister what she should pay attention to, he came to the dumpling shop.

Lin Qing He was guiding Zhou Yang and Zhou Wu Ni in their English courses. In a few days, the two of them were going back.

This time flew really fast.

But have to say, the two cousins gained a lot by coming here.

Their horizon had been broadened and their studies had also improved. Whether it was Lin Qing He Zhou Xuan, both targetted the right parts.

With such guidance from a Bei University teacher, even the stubborn stones must open up.

Let them work on their own, Lin Qing He asked, "Is everything done?"

"Yeah." Zhou Qing Bai nodded.

"Mother probably said to you again. Save a little bit and don't waste money." Lin Qing He said.

Zhou Qing Bai shook his head: "No. Still, Mother got that temperament. Don't mind her."

Lin Qing He didn't say anything. Mother Zhou's type of mother-in-law was almost the kind with big and small problems.

Today, Zhou Xiao Mei opened the stove. Lin Qing He asked Hu Zi to send the roast chicken to increase the dishes. And that was it.

They ate at this side.

After eating, Zhou Gui Lai asked: "Mom, didn't you say you want to bring us something good back."

"Yeah, I was going to bring you a camera but the money was spent on TV sets and electric fan for your grandparents." Lin Qing He responded.

"There a TV over there?" Zhou Yang and Zhou Wu Ni, who were busy doing homework, uttered at once.

"En. It just arrived. I sent it to your grandparent." Lin Qing He said.

"The TV and fan is nothing rare. Our family lacks a camera right now." Zhou Gui Lai heard this and became anxious.

"Next year." Lin Qing He said: "This year, help your dad more, I will buy one next year. I will buy you an imported one. That isn't cheap at all."

"Promise?" Zhou Gui Lai hurriedly responded.

"I promise." Lin Qing He nodded.

Zhou Yang and Zhou Wu Ni both looked envious. Fourth Aunt was too rich. Not to mention buying a TV set for Grandfather and Grandmother, she even wants to buy a camera. What's more, an imported one.

Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai came to the warehouse in the afternoon and withdrew all ten sewing machines.

Ten sewing machines required ten workers. Lin Qing He visited old Madam Xu with a bag of candies in the evening.

"Why come here with candies?" Old Madam Xu said upon sight.

"Mother, I plan to ask you for some help." Lin Qing He smilingly explained.

"Tell me if you need help. No need to bring candies." Old Madam Xu responded.

Lin Qing He smiled and told her that she was going to open a small workshop to make clothes.

Old Madam Xu was surprised: "Teacher Lin, are you planning to open your own factory?"

"It's just a small workshop, not a factory." Lin Qing He clarified with a smile.

"Then what does Teacher Lin plan to do?" Old Madam Xu asked hurriedly.

"I bought the sewing machines now. Now I lacked people as skilled as you, Auntie. I heard from you some time ago that there are many laid-off workers like you. I wonder if they have found jobs now." Lin Qing He said.

"It's not so easy to find a job. They're still at home now and nearly molding away." Old Madam Xu answered straightaway.

"Then it'll work out. I have to trouble Aunt. Including yourself, I need ten workers for my side. They must be in good health, got good hands and fee, mustn't be lazy and also subject to management." Lin Qing He listed.

"That's for sure. I will definitely not set my eyes on lazy bums." Old Madam Xu answered immediately.

"That's good. This matter will trouble Aunt Xu for your help." Lin Qing He nodded: "Also, Aunt Xu. I will arrange another position for you. You are the manager of my small workshop and help me manage the workers. And the clothes that are made, you have to check them yourself. You get five yuan more than them every month. What do you think, Aunt?"

What objection can Old Madam Xu possibly have? Naturally, she was delighted: "No problem. Teacher Lin, leave this to me. I let you worry at all."
