Back to the Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise the Cubs-Chapter 625: Irresponsible attitude of standing aloof

Chapter 625: Irresponsible attitude of standing aloof

"Where's your dad?" Zhou Xiao Mei asked her eldest daughter who was doing homework as soon as she got home.

"Dad is in the backyard." Su Ya replied.

Zhou Xiao Mei went over. The ploughing was most done. They can plant leeks in a few days.

There was also a vegetable garden at Father Zhou and Mother Zhou's side. Basically, they can't finish it and would bring it here. So her backyard was used to grow vegetables for bun's stuffing.

Seeing his wife's return, Su Da Lin grinned and spoke, "Did... you eat yet?"

"I have. When will Uncle and Aunt arrive?" Zhou Xiao Mei asked.

"Tom... tomorrow." Su Da Lin sighed softly.

He couldn't understand why his cousin's family reach this step when they were all doing well.

How good was their life? The business was very stable. The shop was about to be bought with the money pooled. Seeing that the shop will be in their hand, they stabilize a few years before buying a house. Then it was time to move the household registration. Life couldn't get any better.

But they stirred up so many trouble.

Zhou Xiao Mei just asked about the time and didn't talk about other things. She planned to arrange for Uncle and Aunt to live here and then let her two sons live there with their maternal grandparents.

Zhou Xiao Mei respected Su Da Lin's Uncle and Aunt.

Not to mention the gratitude of taking care of Su Da Lin in the earlier years, even after she married, the two elders took care of her too. When they called before, they called them to come here. But they didn't come because they were worried about causing trouble. Never thought they would come over because of this.

Things change.

Zhou Xiao Mei went in to look for the ledger. Got to track the accounts. Now she and Da Lin both keep track of the family's income source.

Zhou Xiao Mei was very satisfied with the 220 yuan income from the tea shop.

With her fourth sister-in-law's care, the family can earn 200 or so yuan extra a month. Sometimes more and less. Still, no matter what, 200 or so yuan was certain.

The capital she invested in it before had returned. Now she was getting was profit.

Without her doing anything, she can receive dividend every month. It went without saying Zhou Xiao Mei was delighted.

The business of the bun shop wasn't bad now. Even though it was fine, there was a limit. The income of eight to nine hundred yuan was pretty good.

But now that the children were getting older, the pressure of school tuition, school supplies, living expenses, etc., wasn't small.

An extra income every month will naturally reduce some of the pressure and they can save some.

After she had tallied up the account, she came over to her father and mother's side.

Father Zhou and old Wang were playing chess. Mother Zhou was learning Beijing opera. This was the new entertainment of these old lady recently. Many old little ladies in the park were participating, so she can't fall behind.

In the past two years, whether it was Father Zhou, old Wang, or Mother Zhou, they had aged a lot. Since two years ago, old Wang moved here to live with Father Zhou and Mother Zhou.

It was spacious here. Enough room for him to live. What's more, there were three people. It was better to cook.

As for the rest, there was nothing inconvenient.

Zhou Xiao Mei came to talk about her uncle and aunt's coming.

Naturally Mother Zhou had heard about this matter from her daughter and said: "Let Cheng Cheng and Xun Xun come here to live. Let his uncle and aunt live there."

Zhou Xiao Mei nodded: "I had the same thought."

"This is finding something out of nothing and don't want to live a good life. It's stabbing a hornet's nest after eating to their content." Mother Zhou remarked.

"It can't be helped. Didn't he fail to marry a good wife?" Zhou Xiao Mei responded.

In this matter, she was standing on Da Lin's cousin's side. He was really not that kind of person. He have a sense of duty. But honestly, the woman in the family wasn't worthy of him. She was too bitter. On this matter, she didn't leave him any face.

She made sure all the neighbors knew. Simply lost face logically and on the surface.

"Is there no one from his wife's family coming," Mother Zhou asked.

"Of course, they would." Zhou Xiao Mei nodded.

"The divorce is definite?" Mother Zhou said. If the word divorce was mentioned a few years ago, Mother Zhou would find it shameful. She wouldn't dare to mention it.

But this era was different. A group of little old ladies in the park have nothing to do and would talk about these gossips. So, Mother Zhou had gained immunity. She was nearly a little old lady with wide horizon.

"Reaching to this point, the marriage must be divorced. The three sons below don't know what to do. Wait for them to come to discuss." Zhou Xiao Mei spoke.

"I used to think Da Lin's cousin was a bit more honest and pairing with a more powerful wife is good. Just like your fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law. Never thought they would end up like this." Mother Zhou shook her head.

"Mother, come on. With the way she is, how can she compare with my fourth sister-in-law? Don't know how many street my fourth sister-in-law left her behind." Zhou Xiao Mei gave a contemptuous expression.

Her fourth sister-in-law's awesomeness wasn't fake. Nor was it a lie that she got big ideas. But, how did her fourth sister-in-law take care of the family?

When she was in the village in the earlier days, even when there was no money left at home, she had to take care of her own man and her children.

What about Da Lin's cousin-in-law? Wasn't she a virtuous person? In recent years, because of making money, she learnt mahjong from somewhere and played it everyday. Did she have time for family?

What's more, she heard that once she was home, she would disliked this and disdained that. Then it was the quarrel. Was this how one live life?

"Your fourth sister-in-law's kind is really hard to find outside." Mother Zhou smugly said.

The older they get, the more they feel that such a daughter-in-law like Fourth's wife was difficult to find. She respect them two elders and cultivates her sons into talents.

Before when they were in the village, she took it all in. When her son ate meat, she ate cucumbers and tomatoes.

Lin Qing He, who got home, didn't know that her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were taking turns boasting about her. Right now, she was cutting apples and dividing them into four.

Mainly to make it convenience for little Mi Mi.

She took a piece and ate it very ladylike. Lin Qing He washed one for Zhou Qing Bai and ate the other three-quarter by herself.

"Mom, you have finished eating." Little Mi Mi said with half left in her mouth as she looked at her mom.

"Yes. If you still want to eat after you finish eating, Mom will cut it for you." Lin Qing He responded.

Little Mi Mi nodded. When she finished eating, she didn't want any more. She grabbed a doll and combed its hair.

Zhou Qing Bai's expression went soft.

Lin Qing He said, "Do you know about Da Lin's cousin's matter?"

"I heard from my parents when I sent dumplings over yesterday." Zhou Qing Bai nodded. Because it was far away, he didn't bring it up at home.

"Got any opinion?" Lin Qing He looked at him.

Zhou Qing Bai didn't take it seriously. But when he heard this, he turned to his wife and then stated very desperately, "It has nothing to do with me."

The irresponsible attitude of standing aloof couldn't be any more obvious.
