Chapter 374. Working hard for his daughter
After receiving her daughter-in-law's response, Mother Zhou also came back to give the troublesome old Madam Zhu a reply.
She swears that after this incident, she won't be in contact with this person in the future. Simply too annoying.
"My daughter-in-law said, he's still young. Only eighteen years old. No rush. He has to start his career first, then his family. Zhen Zhen girl is one year older than my grandson. Can't delay her." Mother Zhou stated.
While she was ridiculing in her heart.
She was one year older than her eldest grandson and was boasted that there were few like her in heaven and hard to find on earth. To the unknown, they would think she was really a fairy!
Old Madam Zhu was naturally not very happy. She thought it was a sure thing. She didn't expect this to happen.
After returning home, she coldly harrumphed to old Mister Zhu: "It's not just a family from the country. She really treats herself as something. A good girl like Zhen Zhen was recommended and she even dared to be pretentious. A family of self-employed!"
Regardless of whether the self-employed make money or not, selling things at this time was indeed not respectful. But with the deepening of restriction drop, especially this year, there really were many self-employed.
There were many street stalls outside.
Uncle Zhu said: "I say, that's about enough. In this matter, you were too hot-headed. What self-employed people. Their family consists of college students and university teacher. What else does Zhen Zhen have besides a capital household registration? They also got it too!"
"We are born and raised, while they are foreign residents. How can they be the same?" Old Madam Zhu harrumphed.
"Save it. If they aren't willing, they aren't. Just find another family for Zhen Zhen." Old Mister Zhu waved his hand.
Old Madam Zhu still felt indignant: "Such a good girl like Zhenzhen..."
Old Mister Zhu was impatient to listen to her long-windedness. He went straight out, leaving old Madam Zhu with a stomach full of complaints.
Zhu Zhen Zhen came a few days later.
Then she heard her gran's nagging. Her eyes immediately redded: "Is the Zhou family dissatisfied with me?"
"Zhen Zhen, don't be sad. Can only say that their old Zhou family doesn't have this blessing. You are so wonderful. How can they be dissatisfied? Don't worry about them. Gran will find you a good one." Old Madam Zhu coaxed.
Zhu Zhen Zhen lowered her head and said, "But... but I fancy Zhou Kai."
The youth was so tall, so handsome and mature. His eyes were exceptionally sharp. Just one look, he gave one a feeling of security.
She wasn't favored at home. She heard that the conditions in his family were good and his parents are reasonable. If she can marry in, she will be able to live well.
"What's the use of fancying? His family didn't fancy you," responded old Madam Zhu.
Regardless of how tactfully Mother Zhou said, it was obvious she didn't fancy her. Otherwise, she wouldn't refuse and she would agree to it straight away.
Hmph, since her granddaughter didn't meet their eyes, who else can they marry?
Zhu Zhen Zhen was close to crying.
She even came to ask Mother Zhou Mu. Seeing her wanting to talk but stopped, Mother Zhou asked: "Zhen Zhen, what's the matter? Is there anything I can help?"
"Granny Zhou, are... are you not satisfied with me?" Zhu Zhen Zhen said with red eyes.
Mother Zhou wanted to break out into a scolding then. Was there such a girl? Was such behavior? Personally, coming to ask the elders of the guy's family? What do you call this?
Was it a blind date or something? Her gran just mentioned it and her side returned an answer. What? She also regarded herself as a celestial fairy?
As soon as you brought it up, the other must ask you to marry you before you give up, right?
Mother Zhou said politely: "Zhen Zhen is good everywhere. It's just my grandson hasn't grown-up. Don’t look at his height, but he is only 18 years old. He is still an immature child. It's too early to talk about this. It's not that you are bad."
After that, she didn't have the patience to entertain her, and said, "Go back first. There are still chickens to be fed in my backyard."
Then she left Zhu Zhen Zhen alone. She simply got the same virtue as her gran. Can't handle her properly.
Ignoring Zhu Zhen Zhen, she came to feed the chickens by herself. She raised eight hens. She grabbed one of the hens to nourish Fourth's wife tomorrow.
Lin Qing He took the matter of old Zhu Family wanting to introduce marriage as an interesting story and told Zhou Qing Bai: "Our eldest is popular now. Everyone is eyeing on him."
She kinda sensed that feeling from old Weng Family.
Otherwise, during the Chinese New Year, would Mother Weng let Weng Mei Jia come to give New Year's greeting together? In fact, Weng Guo Liang alone was enough.
Lin Qing He thought a little narcissistically. Maybe Mother Weng wanted to let her daughter come here to let her see?
But after this encounter, Lin Qing He was satisfied. The jar of honey and grapefruit tea she gifted was the best indication.
Zhou Qing Bai had no interest in this matter. It seemed to him that it was normal for his son to marry a wife when he got older. Once he marries, he can move out.
His responsibility ends there.
"Are you used to using the freezer?" Lin Qing He asked, changing the subject.
"Easy to use." Zhou Qing Bai nodded.
The two-hundred-liter freezer was indeed very useful. He needed a lot of meat to make dumplings. It's okay in winter but in summer it can't last long.
But now they had freezers, the problem had been solved. The meat they bought and haven't been used up were put in first. Then, they just take it out and thaw it when they need it. It didn't cost much effort.
Su Da Lin's side also required a lot of meat, but there was no freezer over there. So he just brought it over here to store. When he needed it, he can take it back. It did take a bit of effort, but a refrigerator was several hundred. This wasn't a small sum. The shop hadn’t been settled yet, so let’s do this for now.
As for Lin Qing He. After having a washing machine, a lot of worry and energy were saved. As for Father Zhou and Mother Zhou's side, Lin Qing He did plan to buy another one later.
Zhou Xiao Mei's family can use it. Even without them, Lin Qing He will still buy it for the old couple. So she didn't mind that.
Zhou Qing Bai began to tally up this month's accounts, while Lin Qing He continued to prepare lessons.
After nine o'clock, Lin Qing He was finished, Zhou Qing Bai had settled the account. She took it in hand and took a look.
"According to the speed, we can pay back Uncle Wang's money in two months," Lin Qing He said with satisfaction.
Four shops can make almost five thousand yuan in a month.
Two of the clothing shops covered the majority of it. Then followed by beverage shop and Zhou Qing Bai’s dumpling shops.
The dumpling shop wasn't selling hot. Completely stable with a monthly income of 300 and so yuan.
On the contrary, the beverage shop was. Since the weather was getting warmer and two freezers have moved there, the sales performance had improved another notch.
There were also melon seeds, which profitable after the calculation was done. The business was excellent.
Zhou Qing Bai didn't say anything. His wife had always had a lot of ideas. Basically, anything she does make money.
"Tomorrow, head over and check around." Lin Qing He told him.
"Okay." Zhou Qing Bai responded. and then stared at his wife: "It's time to work hard for Daughter."
Lin Qing He gave him a light hammer.
Then, the couple rested.
