[Part 3] Back To The Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise The Cubs

Chapter 483

When Hu Zi came back, it went without saying he received interrogation from Zhou Gui Lai, Gang Zi and the others.

Hu Zi shyly confessed.

Basically, all of old Zhou Family knew about Hu Zi and Chen Shan Shan being in a relationship.

Mother Zhou was paid close attention to this matter.

What's more, she was someone good at handling relationship. So, when Gang Zi went to see her, she told Gang Zi to bring a basket of eggs to old Chen's house.

"Mother, just let Hu Zi date the girl. Don't intervene so much. Keep your own eggs for yourself to eat." Zhou Xiao Mei said helplessly.

"How can this do? Their family can set their eyes on Hu Zi is Hu Zi's blessing. We have to help Hu Zi. How can we do nothing?" Mother Zhou responded.

Zhou Xiao Mei said: "You made it sounds like Hu Zi is worthless. Hu Zi is great young man and is being nurtured by Fourth Sister-in-law. He won't be badly off in the future. Old Chen family probably thought of this. So you don’t need to do this. Don't make old Chen family feel embarrassed."

Zhou Xiao Mei wasn't reluctant to part with those eggs. What age was it now? The conditions at home were better. A basket of eggs was really nothing. It was just that her mother's attitude hadn't been caught on.

It was as if the family was buttering up to old Chen Family. Was there any necessity for this? If they were to be in-laws in the future, they don't need to be so polite. How it was before is how it'll be be in the future was enough.

"Alright. Send less in the future. Come to think of it, this kid, Hu Zi is blessed." Mother Zhou jollily said.

With such a big problem like household registration, Mother Zhou really didn't dare to expect her grandson to find a girl in the capital. Otherwise, she wouldn't instantly disapprove when hearing Xu Sheng Qiang wanting to marry a girl in the capital.

But she didn't expect that the unthinkable happened. A family set their eyes on this grandson, Hu Zi. Even with the household registration issue, they would be willing to marry their daughter to him. This really made Mother Zhou overjoyed when she thought about it.

"It's not that Hu Zi is blessed. But rather, Hu Zi followed the right person. He came here and got trained by Fourth Sister-in-law. That's why the other party can look upon him." Zhou Xiao Mei knew it inside out.

"I know. It's all your fourth sister-in-law's credit." Mother Zhou smiled.

"Credit or not, Fourth Sister-in-law has never mention it. As long as they aren't like Sheng Mei siblings, it was fine and can give everything. If one is even a little bad, she can remember it." Zhou Xiao Mei said.

"On this point, what is there to debate?" Mother Zhou responded.

"With Sheng Mei's temperament, she must be dissatisfied in her heart. Hu Zi can date a capital's girl and marry her, while Qiang Zi can't. How can she not have any opinion in her heart." Zhou Xiao Mei remarked.

"Qiang Zi is stupid. How can he compare with Hu Zi? Hu Zi can marry. No need to be afraid of not being able to support the other. With Qiang Zi's lazy ways, who would be willing to be with him?" Mother Zhou uttered in displeasure.

She was still angry. Even until now, Xu Sheng Qiang hadn't come here to apologize to his uncle.

He finally got sent to study after much difficulty. Now he had to quit.

"In short, I don't want to care about them. Mother, just intervene in their matter as little as possible. Really won't settle." Zhou Xiao Mei said.

Mother Zhou asked in a low voice, "What's the situation in your uncle-in-law's house. Would Da Lin introduce them over?"

"En, but Uncle and Aunt don't plan to come. They said they're old. While his eldest cousin and his wife have that plan." Zhou Xiao Mei said.

"I remember you saying your cousin sister-in-law isn't that great, no?" Mother Zhou asked.

"Certainly not that great. I'm planning to get them to live further away in the future and ask Da Lin to find a place farther away. Won't in the same area," Zhou Xiao Mei said.

Su Da Lin's eldest cousin was a nice guy. A very peaceful person and had a good relationship with Su Da Lin. While his sister-in-law was terrible.
 
When she was in the county, that cousin sister-in-law disliked her as she was from the countryside. Basically, didn't speak to her much.

Also her aunt-in-law was willing to help her with the children. At that time, she was working, right? She can't always leave the children at her maternal home.

Her aunt didn't any objection, but this cousin sister-in-law had a lot.

In fact, Zhou Xiao Mei couldn't be bothered to greet them if it weren't for looking upon Su Da Lin's Uncle and Aunt's face. That was how it was between relatives. Some favors really needed to be paid back.

Her Da Lin was an orphan when he was very young. And he stuttered. If it weren't for his uncle and aunt's care, he would really be bullied to death.

Although Su Da Lin received bullying when he was a child, he grew up safely. Whether it was his house or his salary, his uncle and aunt didn't covet it.

Even Zhou Xiao Mei would respect this kind of uncle and aunt after marrying over.

So even when the relationship with that cousin was bad, Zhou Xiao Mei didn't say anything.

"When will they come?" Mother Zhou asked.

"I don't know. I guess it won't be this year. They have to learn how to make buns with my aunt. Maybe next year." Zhou Xiao Mei responded.

Her family Da Lin's art of making buns was learnt from his aunt. Then adding his own innovations, it became a technique to support the family.

So, Zhou Xiao Mei really had no reason to give Da Lin's uncle face. The couple had never mistreat her Da Lin.

Mother Zhou said, "Let Da Lin help find a place. Live somewhere far away. The shop too. At that time, don't let it  be in the same area."

"Our street is completely occupied. If they want, they have to find one elsewhere." Mother Zhou continued.

"Da Lin knows these." Zhou Xiao Mei said.

"What if they ask to borrow money? What'll you do" Mother Zhou whispered again.

Zhou Xiao Mei said: "More or less, we have to lend some. But, we can't lend much. We don't even have money to buy a house for ourselves."

At present, her family had some savings. The bun shop's business was doing well and her family Da Lin was also working hard. In the morning, he would ride the tricycle out to sell a lot of buns. Their income had increased a lot.

But the distance to purchasing a home... They still have to save. Save for two or three years. After all, it wasn't cheap.

Mother Zhou didn't comment to that and said: "The day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Got to buy some moon cakes back to eat."

"Okay." Zhou Xiao Mei agreed.

"Prepare a share for Hu Zi. Let him take with him and drop by old Chen's house." Mother Zhou continued.

"Alright. As his aunt, I got give some support." Zhou Xiao Mei didn't have any objection. It was the holiday. So let Hu Zi bring a gift and visit at the girl's house. This was how it should be.

The Mid-Autumn Festival arrived in a flash.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival was more than half a month delayed than in previous years. So that it was almost October. It was only the 15th of August according to the lunar calendar.

Lin Qing He's side originally prepared a share for Hu Zi. However, Zhou Xiao Mei gave a share. So she gave it to Aunt Ma and told Aunt Ma no need to buy it.

It was just enjoying the Mid-Autumn Festival. Xu Sheng Mei had to pull Xu Sheng Qiang over. Lin Qing He held deep admiration.

If Xu Sheng Mei's heart was righteous, with the thickness of her face, she will definitely have a career in the future.
