Chapter 386. Li Ai Guo
As Zhou San Ni diligently carried the few dozens of jins of soybeans to the city, she happened to meet Li Ai Guo, who was driving out to the market in a horse cart.
Because the buyer bought all his things, he delivered them to the buyer even when they lived in the neighboring county. Like this, his goods were sold so fast.
Since he was idle, he thought of checking out the county city here.
Coincidentally, he ran into Zhou San Ni.
Seeing that she was heading to the city with so many soybeans, Li Ai Guo gave her a ride.
With Zhou San Ni’s taciturn temperament, she normally didn’t speak to people. Since this person helped her, she asked which village he was from?
If she pass by in the future, she may come by to thank him.
Li Ai Guo said it wasn’t here but in the neighboring county. He just came over here to take a look at the county city in his spare time.
It can be said that Zhou San Ni was eager to get away from her home.
When she heard that it was the neighboring county, she asked, if he knew any matchmaker in the neighboring county?
That’s right, Zhou San Ni wanted to marry to the next county. She didn’t want to marry here but rather far away. It was best that to not come back forever!
Li Ai Guo was surprised. In this day and age, a young woman seeking a matchmaker herself was a rare sight.
Then Li Ai Guo joked, saying that the matchmakers were scared off by him. They were tired of seeing him and wouldn’t want to listen to him.
Naturally, Zhou San Ni asked for the reason. Then she found out that this man was unexpectedly single despite being old enough to have children.
"Do you want to marry to the neighboring county?" Li Ai Guo asked.
"En." Zhou San Ni didn’t think along that line at first and just answered him.
"Then do you want to consider marrying me? I should be a lot older than you. My legs aren’t born lame. It’s due to falling when I was repairing the reservoir. The conditions at home are alright. My home is far away. If you are willing to marry me and live with me, I will definitely treat you well." Li Ai Guo spoke.
Zhou San Ni was halted and then looked at him.
Needless to say what happened after that. Li Ai Guo asked someone to come over and inquire. Then he had the engagement arranged.
Eldest Sister-in-law explained: "I found these out these from San Ni. The girl has become more and more solemn over the years. Li Ai Guo’s age is a bit older, but his temper is actually okay, Just the matchmakers’ mouths were terrible. He is willing to pay the four hundred yuan, Judging from San Ni’s intentions, once she gets married, she will definitely not stay connected in the future."
Coming to this point, Eldest Sister-in-law sighed again.
Lin Qing He smiled: "She’ll be a married daughter. Her family isn’t good to her, so it’s normal for her not to interact with them. It’s enough when her life is doing well."
Wasn’t it like this for her? Except for her third brother, see if she would bother with old Lin Family? Believe it or not, she could walk away indifferently even if they died in front of her.
Wasn’t it looking for abuse if one’s maternal family didn’t treat one well and they still rush head-on to them? Living one’s life well was better than anything, right?
Hearing this, Lin Qing He felt a lot more relieved. No need to keep it from Third Sister-in-law though. It wasn’t that bad, right?
Zhou San Ni and the man called Li Ai Guo had met each other after all.
What’s more, from what was seen, the man did take a fancy on Zhou San Ni. Otherwise, there won’t be four hundred yuan of gift money. Most people wouldn’t be willing to take out this.
"This watch is for Yang Yang. Eldest Sister-in-law, please keep it first and give it to Yang Yang so that he can use it during college." Lin Qing He took out another watch and said.
Eldest Sister-in-law was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Where is the use for this? This is a lot of money!"
"Wu Ni and Yang Yang each get one," Lin Qing He told her.
"This time, you brought candies and such a valuable thing again." Eldest Sister-in-law uttered.
"Yang Yang got admitted to a teacher training college and I am happy for him. After he graduates, he’ll be a teacher. It’s a stable career, he will never worry for the rest of his life." Lin Qing He said with a smile.
Eldest Sister-in-law was happy to hear this and responded: "In the future, let see if he can come back to the high school in the city to teach. This way, he’s not far away."
Lin Qing He didn’t say anything. Hearing the squawk of the duck behind, she spoke, "Eldest Sister-in-law, how’s the duck raising?"
"Pretty well." Eldest Sister-in-law smiled.
After the last phone call, she raised them. Thirty ducks, five of them were injured. Still, twenty-five were left and they all grew up.
Just yesterday, they even started laying duck eggs. This had Eldest Sister-in-law overjoyed.
The family now raised chickens, ducks, and pigs. She and Brother Zhou were both diligent. So, although their life weren’t as prosperous as Third Sister-in-law’s, it was still vivid.
Eldest Sister-in-law was easily satisfied. Once the house is built this year, the family will moves in. It will be more comfortable.
"Is there enough money to build a house?" Lin Qing He asked.
"Enough. You don’t have to worry about it." Eldest Sister-in-law understood what she meant and responded. Reaching this topic, she got up, went inside again and brought out five hundred yuan: "This is what you left before. But we don’t need it now, take it back."
Third Brother had borrowed the money. When he came back for the New Year at the end of last year, he returned the money.
As for First Branch and Second Branch, they weren’t going to do any business. So they didn’t need to use the money. That’s why, it was returned in full.
Lin Qing He responded: "Eldest Sister-in-law, keep it for now. Giving it to me in the future is the same. My side isn’t in a hurry to use it."
"Even when you’re not in a hurry to use it, take it. Our family don’t need it. We got enough to build a house. While Father and Mother, they are under you and Fourt Brother’s care now," said Eldest Sister-in-law maintained.
Speaking of Father Zhou and Mother Zhou, Eldest Sister-in-law was a little ashamed. After all, she was the eldest daughter-in-law. But now the two elders had gone to the capital, they were taken care of by Fourth Branch.
"It’s nothing. Father and Mother got strong bodies. No need to worry." Lin Qing He said.
Now Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law were rising, Third Sister-in-law would be willing to lend some to Eldest Sister-in-law if they lacked money for the house.
So Lin Qing H took the money.
The two sisters-in-law chatted for a long time before they came out.
"Fourth Aunt." Zhou San Ni was sweeping the ground outside. She greeted her when she saw her.
Lin Qing He noticed Second Sister-in-law wasn’t around and said, "If you have time later, come over and sit around."
"Okay." Zhou San Ni pursed her lips and looked at her.
Lin Qing He spoke no more. After talking to Eldest Sister-in-law for so long, the crowd hadn’t dwindle.
Most of them were here for the motorcycle. It was a rare sight.
Seeing Lin Qing He come out, everyone asked questions. Lin Qing He naturally responded with a smile. The excitement lasted until eight o’clock. Only then, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai returned to their home.
The couple cleaned up the house and then fetched water to take a shower. It was still chilly after taking a cold shower on this hot day.
Zhou Qing Bai went to wash up after Lin Qing He was done. Then he went to wash the clothes.
At this time, Zhou San Ni dropped by. Seeing her fourth uncle washing clothes, she was going to take over.
