Chapter 135. Evaluation
Outsiders didn’t know why her youngest son and his wife went out for this time, but Mother Zhou clearly did.
So in private, Mother Zhou asked.
Naturally, Zhou Qing Bai wouldn’t mention his wife’s ligation. He only said: "Even though my body has recovered, it had already damaged the core, so I won’t be able to have more children in the future."
Although Mother Zhou was a little disappointed, she didn’t take it to heart and comforted her youngest son: "Don’t worry, you have three sons. Not one bit lacking."
This was true. A family with three sons wasn’t lacking at all in this rural environment.
Zhou Qing Bai nodded.
Mother Zhou whispered again: "Your wife doesn’t disdain you, right?"
"She doesn’t." Zhou Qing Bai shook his head.
Only then, Mother Zhou was relieved. Afterward, she had less confidence when talking to Lin Qing He, the youngest daughter-in-law.
Lin Qing He: "..."
She came over and asked Zhou Qing Bai: "What have you said to Mother? When Mother converse with me now, it’s like she owes me money." She kept feeling unsettled.
Zhou Qing Bai glanced at her, then relayed a few sentences.
Lin Qing He coughed dryly: "I’m at fault in this matter. Qing Bai, I solemnly apologize to you now. Don’t worry, although I won’t be able to give birth in the future, I will definitely respect my in-laws, be compassionate to my husband, and take care of my sons!"
"You still thought of divorcing me, want to leave the kids with me, and leave by yourself." Zhou Qing Bai stared at her.
"I was deliberately angering you. You know that the people can’t restrain their mouths when quarreling and would say whatever hurts." Lin Qing He said.
When she thought about it, she was especially upset afterward.
She was a bit overboard. Knowing that he liked her, so she said whatever she wants, but didn’t think how much he hurts from hearing it.
Zhou Qing Bai remained silent and continued to clean the pigsty. Seeing him like this, Lin Qing He could feel that he was very lonely and dejected.
Even if he didn’t say anything, she could still feel it.
Lin Qing He sighed, then turned around and went to the kitchen to make a good meal.
As soon as she left, Zhou Qing Bai raised his head with a smile on his lips. (T/N: He was acting???)
That evening, the meal was exceptionally wonderful and delicious. Lin Qing He had really put her effort in to make amends with her Qing Bai.
But Zhou Qing Bai had not said anything.
So in the evening, Lin Qing He finished tutoring Da Wa on his homework and let the eldest two to sleep tight and then returned with San Wa.
San Wa was still a little young, so in winter, he slept with her and Zhou Qing Bai.
The two big ones were fine, they can sleep by themselves.
Last year, Da Wa found out that his parents weren’t sleeping in the middle of the night and were fighting. That shouldn’t happen for the second time.
San Wa was ecstatic that he was able to sleep with his parents. After lying on the Kang for a while, the little one drowsed off.
When Zhou Qing Bai came in from outside, he saw that his wife and his youngest son were already asleep.
Zhou Qing Bai took off his clothes and went to sleep on the Kang.
Then he felt that his wife was obviously wearing nothing.
This caused Zhou Qing Bai’s adam’s apple to bob and his voice became a little husky, but his words were still upright: "Wear some clothes to sleep, don’t catch a cold."
"Qing Bai." Lin Qing He wrapped him up like a snake girl.
Zhou Qing Bai didn’t say a word, his heartbeat was undoubtedly speeding up. Then Zhou Qin Bai enjoyed some wonderful affair between people that night.
Lin Qing He exert her whole effort into it, still, she became too tired in the end and got held in Qing Bai’s embrace.
"Is your anger gone?" Lin Qing He asked feebly.
She was using flesh repayment for a personal debt.
"En." Zhou Qing Bai’s contented voice sounded from above her head.
Lin Qing He whispered: "My maternal family’s ties have been severed by me. I just got you and the children left. I have nothing but you."
"We’ll protect you." Zhou Qing Bai hugged her and responded.
Lin Qing He grinned. She was indeed tired. She let Zhou Qing Bai grabbed the clothes and put them on for her. Then she fell asleep.
Zhou Qing Bai was also very satisfied with his arms around his wife.
Divorce, impossible. Not happening in this life.
As expected, Lin Qing He woke up late the next morning.
When she woke up, Zhou Qing Bai was already fed along with the three boys.
Father Zhou and Mother Zhou had also eaten.
They ate boiled sweet potatoes with porridge soup and a plate of fried pork and cucumber.
Lin Qing He didn’t expect to wake so late. After waking up, she was a little embarrassed to see that Mother Zhou was still there.
"It’s been working hard on you during this trip. Go have breakfast and then rest again." Mother Zhou urged.
Lin Qing He nodded and went to have breakfast.
After breakfast, she rode her bike and came to see Sister Mei.
I went without saying that Lin Qing He had given her a head-up about not coming to pick up the meat last time. Now that she was coming over to pick up the meat, she naturally had to come over to give a notification.
"That’s fine. Come and get it next year." Sister Mei immediately replied to her.
These days, the family lost a good chunk of money due to Lin Qing He not coming to get the meat. This had Sister Mei, who was used to taking the income, a bit unsettled. She almost turned into a statue that looks into the distance when looking forward to Lin Qing He’s visit.
Lin Qing He came into agreement with her and then she came to the community’s supply and demand cooperative to look around. She bought two jins of eggs and other supplies, and then went home.
She had checked before going out. Half of the eggs she left behind remained. That was due to Mother Zhou’s lifestyle. Now she was back, the eggs at home will be depleted quickly.
Lin Qing He rode her bicycle back home and Zhou Qing Bai had yet to return.
"Where did your father go?" Lin Qing He asked Er Wa and San Wa who were playing at the entrance.
"Father took the tractor and went to the city with Grandpa secretary." Er Wa knew the answer and replied.
"Why go to the city?" Lin Qing He was surprised.
"I don’t know, ask Father when he comes back." Er Wa shook his head.
"Mother, are there any delicious pastries?" San Wa still had his mind on this.
Lin Qing He went in and grabbed him a piece. Seeing that he had it, Er Wa immediately said that he wanted it too.
Each were given one and dismissed. Lin Qing He started cooking.
The main was mantou.
After wandering around for a while, she had an explanation for the meat that she got out of the space. It wasn’t much. A cut of three liang (150g) of meat was chopped into mince and braised with eggplant.
With the addition of a scrambled egg, lunch was mostly sorted.
However, Zhou Qing Bai wasn’t back for lunch. He didn’t come back until the evening. Judging by the village’s branch secretary and the leader’s glowing face, it seemed like her Qing Bai had done a meritorious service?
When the village’s branch secretary left, Lin Qing He asked, "What did you guys do today? The branch secretary and the leader seemed very happy. What honor did the team get?"
The only thing that can make the village’s branch secretary and the leade so happy was most likely one possibility.
"Our team’s harvest settlement received a good evaluation." Zhou Qing Bai nodded and answered.
