Chapter 34. Villains’ Father retirement

Mother Zhou’s tone rarely sounded so nice.

Indeed, it was because she heard her youngest son said about last night’s return. Naturally, she was worried, because of the heavy snow last night.

How freezing it must be walking all this way?

Her youngest son said that his wife got up and cooked ginger soup for him, and heated ginger foot bath to soak his feet. And also fed him steamed buns and dumpling soup, before letting him sleep.

After listening to this, Mother Zhou felt much more at ease. This big spending daughter-in-law, Lin Qing He, looked more appealing to her eyes.

At least she can take good care of her youngest son. This alone was enough to make Mother Zhou treat her with civility and cheerfulness.

Lin Qing He swept a glance at Zhou Qing Bai. Zhou Qingbai was also looking at her and they meet each other’s gaze. She was still a little shy, so she switched her gaze to Da Wa and his brothers. "Have you eaten?"

"Yes." Da Wa and Er Wa answered.

Then Lin Qing He left them alone and entered the kitchen by herself. The pan was still hot in the kitchen. The father and sons had steamed buns.

The buns were made a few days ago, because it was frozen in the snow, it won’t go bad. If they want to eat it, they just need to take a few and steam it. Since they didn’t always munch on the buns, there was some left.

Of course, this was the last few.

Lin Qing He wasn’t starving, so one was enough for her. The quantity she made was sufficient.

At this time, San Wa came in.

Lin Qing He picked him up: "San Wa, have you eaten enough?"

"No eat." San Wa shook his head.

This meant he had eaten. If you haven’t eaten, he’ll want to eat.

Lin Qing He carried him out. Mother Zhou was still there, mainly because she hadn’t seen her youngest son for so long. She missed him dearly.

Out of the four sons, she favored her youngest son the most. In her heart, the youngest son was number one. All other sons and daughters can sit on the side.

Lin Qing He brought San Wa back into the room. Both Da Wa and Er Wa followed.

Zhou Qing Bai watched her back.

Mother Zhou whispered: "Da Wa’s mother cares about these brothers more these days. Their clothes and footwear were all personally managed by her. She’s afraid of freezing their brothers. She also bought meat and buns over for me and your Father."

Last time she made white bun, Lin Qing He also got Da Wa and Er Wa to bring two over. Just said it was for Father Zhou and Mother Zhou. Nothing for the others.

Father Zhou and Mother Zhou didn’t give away Fourth’s wife’s filial piety toward them. If they did, what would Fourth’s wife think when she find out?

What’s more, there were so many grandchildren in the old Zhou’s house. Either all get it or none at all.

How were they supposed to divide the two buns? So the old couple simply ate it themselves. That way no one can say anything. If they do say something, then it was Fourth’s wife was showing filial piety toward them old couple.

Zhou Qing Bai nodded, indicating that he knew.

"Other things, Mother won’t say much. But your wife’s habit of spending money must change. Da Wa and his brothers are growing. When the time comes, they will need money for everything. With her spurlging, not a penny will be saved," proclaimed Mother Zhou.

Zhou Qing Bai had noticed this matter.

The house gained a coal stove, half a bag of coal, and an iron pan made of stainless steel. And the two large quilts were brand new. Also the children’s clothes.

As for others, there were a lot. The food in the room was full. The rice and flour were all excellent quality.

It must have cost a lot of money.

However, Zhou Qing Bai didn’t think this was a bad habit, because she took good care of the household and the children were very well raised.

As long as she takes care of the household, he will be the one managing outside.

"I know." Zhou Qing Bai nodded.

Mother Zhou watched him constantly gazing at the inner room and knew that the couple hadn’t seen each other for a long time. Although she wanted to say a few words to her youngest son, she didn’t stay around to be a bother. "Then Mother will return first."

"Ok." Zhou Qing Bai sent her out.

With Mother Zhou gone, Zhou Qing Bai entered the room. Lin Qing He was applying vanishing cream onto her three sons and remarked: "Don’t you know to call your father if you don’t apply it yourself? If it gets damaged by the cold, it’ll be ugly to look at then. "

"Mother, Dad is back," Da Wa uttered.

Er Wa’s eyes also shone.

Judging how they act, Lin Qing He knew they were very satisfied with their father. She grinned and said, "This morning your father called you out?"

"En. When we woke up, Father told us to go out first after getting dressed and not disturb Mother." Da Wa bobbed his head.

"Father steamed the buns for us, one each!" Er Wa affirmed.

Usually, their mother gave half each and then accompanied with porridge. Never a whole.

Lin Qing He mentally pointed out that their father used her buns to win people’s hearts. She hoped the father and sons have a good relationship and declared: "He is your father, of course, he is good to you. I am a stepmother, so each gets half."

"Mother is stepmother, then I am stepson." Er Wa giggled.

"Have you no embarrassment. Father only has Mother as a wife!" Da Wa uttered in disdain to him.

"Finished applying. You can go out." Lin Qing He shooed them away.

After saying this, Zhou Qing Bai came in. Lin Qing He subconsciously looked over and met his gaze. Lin Qing He felt it was weird to say nothing, just blurted: "Mother has returned home?"

"En." Zhou Qing Bai nodded.

Short and concise, no extra word.

Lin Qing He: No wonder the can’t receive the original owner’s favor. With this kind of mouth, he can’t please a woman.

"You two go out to play." Zhou Qing Bai ordered Da Wa and Er Wa.

Da Wa and Er Wa looked at their mother. Lin Qing He mentally wondered why they were looking at her. She certainly didn’t want them to leave!

But she also knew that he had something to tell her.

Lin Qing He urged: "Listen to your father. Go play."

So Da Wa and Er Wa went out. The two of them were going to boast that their dad returned to their friends!

With Da Wa and Er Wa gone, it was only San Wa playing on the kang. Lin Qing He knowingly asked as she played with her younger son: "How long can you stay this time?"

Zhou Qing Bai slightly halted. Although Lin Qing He had her back to him, she could feel that the man was obviously a little nervous. She continued to play with San Wa while she acts clueless. San Wa giggled from her teasing.

After seeing his third son laughed so happily, Zhou Qing Bai turned his eyes to her back and announced, "This time, I don’t plan to go back."

As soon as these words came out, he saw her figure paused like he anticipated, and immediately turned to look at him with incredulous eyes: "What do you mean by not to going back?"

"I retire." Zhou Qing Bai exhaled as he watched at her.

Lin Qing He stared at him, waiting for him to continue talking. Like explaining the injuries he got on his body. But he didn’t ...

No wonder the original owner simply flipped out on him. He really didn’t know how to express himself.

Don’t he know that ‘her’ dream was to be an official wife?
