Chapter 123 Does She Look Like a Virgin Mary?
Lin Shiqi said, "There are eight children in the family, and everyone has one. We treat them all equally. They are all children of our Zhou family, and we cannot favor one over another. They all call me Fourth Aunt. It's okay, Second Sister-in-law can go and do the work. Youngest Sister can't make clothes by herself, and Second Sister-in-law should be good at sewing and can help make them. We can wear them even if it snows these few days."
"Okay, okay..." Ruan was not good at speaking, and those words of thanks were what she had been thinking about for the whole morning.
She happily went to Zhou Yaogu's room to help make clothes.
Mrs. Zhou was also in Aunt Zhou's room. She learned that Lin Shiqi wanted to make new cotton-padded jackets for the old couple and a new vest for each of the children in the family. She cursed Lin Shiqi for being a spendthrift and wasting money without knowing how to save it...
But there was smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
The fourth wife is really good. She spends the money she earns on her family, is generous, respects the elderly and loves the young.
Si'er is still the best. He is well-educated, well-mannered and filial. Both he and his wife are very good.
The good days in the family are shared with the couple in the fourth room.
…
Lin Shiqi had finished eating the egg noodles made by Ruan and was just about to take them to the kitchen to wash.
Then Wang came over.
She enthusiastically snatched the bowl from Lin Shiqi's hand and said, "I'll wash it, I'll wash it. It's freezing cold out here, Fourth Sister-in-law, don't touch the cold water or your hands will get frozen."
Lin Shiqi...
"How can I trouble you, sister-in-law? I'll do it myself." Wang's attentiveness made people a little scared.
"Let me do it, let me do it." Wang rushed over to wash the dishes.
Lin Shiqi no longer insisted.
While washing, Wang said, "Fourth sister-in-law, I also want to thank you for making cotton vests for our boys. Cotton is so precious. This is not like making a single coat. Fourth sister-in-law is really a good person."
Lin Shiqi couldn't stand her nice guy card, and felt that she was either a traitor or a thief.
A polite remark.
Wang continued, "Fourth sister-in-law, I have offended you in the past, but you are a great man and don't bear grudges. From now on, I will treat you well, because you are worthy of it. Fourth sister-in-law treats us as a family, and eldest sister-in-law also treats you as a family. I don't have anything to show off. My son Dalang can read, and the teacher says he is a good material for reading. If you don't mind, I will let Dalang call you mother..."
Lin Shiqi was stunned when he heard this.
"What does this mean, sister-in-law?"
Wang said, "Da Lang is your nephew, right? You and your fourth brother can't have children, right? So you adopted a dumb girl, right? What's the use of a dumb girl? Recruiting a live-in son-in-law to have a child is also someone else's blood, which is meaningless. It's better to raise our Da Lang as your son. In the future, our Da Lang will pass the imperial examination and take care of you and your fourth brother in your old age. Whatever treatment your second brother and I have, I will let him give you the same treatment and respect, so that you can live comfortably and happily in your old age..."
Lin Shiqi...
Recognize the male protagonist Zhou Qinan as your son?
She never dreamed of it.
"Sister-in-law, there's no need, there's no need..."
Wang said, "Don't you think it's against the rules for Dalang to recognize two parents? We have three sons in the first house. You can pick any one of Erlang and Sanlang to adopt. He will call you father and mother and take care of you in your old age. Then our first house and fourth house will be even closer. What do you think? In the future, if the fourth house helps our Dalang pass the imperial examination, Dalang will not forget his fourth uncle, fourth aunt, and his younger brother..."
Lin Shiqi now understood what Wang meant.
It turns out that he is attracted by the wealth of the fourth room.
Through adoption and promises, they came directly to our door.
She simply wanted to make a cotton vest for each of the children in her family so that they could get through the winter.
Unexpectedly, Wang thought she was a saint and was promising her big things.
"Thank you for your kindness, sister-in-law. I think Zhou Lang and I are still young and can still have children. If we really can't have children in the future, we will think about it again. Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about us."
Wang continued, "Fourth brother's wife, it's freezing cold out here. How about you make me a cotton vest? The girls in the second room all have one. I am from the Zhou family after all. I have never been in good health. When our eldest son passes the imperial examination, I will definitely not forget your kindness. When you do business in the future, he can take care of you..."
Lin Shiqi laughed, "Sister-in-law, we have almost spent all the money we earned this year. We don't have any extra money. How about we wait until next year to see if we can make ends meet?"
Does she look like the Virgin Mary?
Not only did he fail to deliver on his promise, he even had the audacity to ask for money.
This Wang really thought that she would be so successful just because she gave birth to a son who could read.
Wang loves to make empty promises, so she follows suit and makes one for her.
Let’s talk about it next year.
Finally, Lin Shiqi didn't say any more to her.
Wang also heard the perfunctory tone and became even more angry.
First, she picked up a mute girl as a treasure, and then she made new cotton vests for the two maids in the second room, and did not take her, the eldest sister-in-law, seriously.
It's really unreasonable.
Can't tell the difference between close and distant relatives.
Of course, it’s because the eldest daughter of their family is not Mrs. Zhou’s biological daughter.
It is normal that their own children fight together and do not take her, their sister-in-law, seriously.
A bunch of bastards who are not presentable.
…
It was snowing heavily, and Old Man Zhou and Zhou Lang and the others spent half a day clearing the snow.
The roads in the village were cleared all the way to outside the village.
We also welcomed back a family member.
It was Zhou Qinan.
Carrying a suitcase and luggage.
It's snowing heavily, so Longquan School is on winter vacation. We won't go there until the weather warms up in the spring.
Old man Zhou happily brought his eldest grandson back home.
Wang was very angry with Lin Shiqi, but when she saw her son coming home, she calmed down and went to cook for her son with a smile on her face.
All things are inferior, only reading is superior.
What's so great about earning some hard-earned money through business? If his son passes the imperial examination and becomes a high-ranking official, isn't that better than making tofu?
Let the four rooms be proud first.
…
Lin Shiqi was originally concerned about the Heart-Shaped Lock, and he wished that he and Zhou Lang could stay in the house in broad daylight and go to take a look inside the Heart-Shaped Lock space.
But because Zhou Qinan was on winter vacation, he went home.
Zhou Lang told her not to be so anxious and not to act too abruptly.
So as to avoid Zhou Qinan becoming suspicious.
They are in the dark, so it is easier for them to act.
So Lin Shiqi gave up.
They could only wait until dark before they entered the concentric lock space to wait for the express delivery and the Internet connection.
In the end, nothing happened.
The two of them lost their appetite and became absent-minded while eating in the concentric lock space.
This went on for three days.
The weather has improved, the sun has come out, the snow has melted, and it has become even colder.
But the ice melted and the carriage no longer slipped.
