Chapter 275. Bad Intention
“The place is only that big. It only takes my son and I some effort.” Lin Qing He smilingly answered.
The next day, she went to buy things with Wang Li. Then a whole set of pinewood furniture was organized.
Pinewood cabinets, pinewood desks, and chairs.
In the past, these would be severely cracked down on. But now, no one cared about that. Even the price wasn’t very expensive.
A complete set cost almost thirty yuan.
Naturally, with so many items, it had to be delivered to the door. She requested two young men to bring it up.
There were two rooms in this house. She got them to carry into the rooms and arranged properly. Same for the chairs and tables in the living room.
When it was over, Lin Qing He gave them two dimes each for the hard work: “This is for you two. You don’t need to hand it in (to your company). I’ve troubled you.”
Both young men were very happy. They thanked her, and went back.
Although Wang Li came to buy things with her, she was more like an accompaniment. She remarked, “You have everything sorted for the rooms.”
“Yes, fully set up.” Lin Qing He said in a good mood.
A large bed, table, cabinet, as well as small enamel pots and bowls were basically prepared.
It was ready to move in now.
“Do you want to send a telegram back to let them move in?” Seeing her like this, Wang Li teased.
Lin Qing He rolled her eyes in amusement.
Although everything had been set up, there was no plan to let Zhou Qing Bai come yet.
Let him finish this year. Afterward, he won’t continue and come here to be with her.
To be honest, Lin Qing He was reluctant to let Zhou Qing Bai do farm work in their hometown. Like extremely reluctant. It wasn’t easy to do farm work, especially day after day.
Zhou Qing Bai never complained, but Lin Qing He knew the man had it hard.
She couldn’t help him. But the least she could do was manage the meals properly for him. Even if she got grumbled by others for wasting all of Zhou Qing Bai’s earning, she didn’t care.
Very few people could live their lives without caring about others’ eyes. Well, Lin Qing He happened to be one of them. There was nothing that can’t be thought through.
How many years does a person have in their life? The first fifteen years were basically ignorantly passed. After the age of 40 or 50, the body began to decline again. During life in the middle, they have to bear the pressure of studying, working, getting married, raising children, etc. Adding this up, how much time was there?
In a short life, there was really no need to care so much.
Live your life well, then you will succeed.
This was Lin Qing He’s very clear outlook on life. She had never wavered.
Lin Qing He didn’t know that she was the kind to spoil her husband. But after meeting Zhou Qing Bai, she dove right into it.
Don’t know when it started, doting her own man became her habit.
Lin Qing He smiled when thinking of the man back at home.
Wang Li said, “I have to come over here for a meal frequently in the future.”
“Come then. I will definitely let you go back holding your stomach.” Lin Qing He joked.
Wang Li laughed. She was also envious, and said, “You got a place to live and a position in the school. Everything will be smooth after this.”
Once she moves her household registration over, she will be a Beijing citizen from now on.
“If you have summer and winter vacations in the future and come over to travel and have fun, look for me. I will always arrange things for you.” Lin Qing He stated.
Wang Li smiled and said: “Same for my hometown. It is a place where cherries are rich. You have to go to our side. I’ll manage the food and accommodation.”
The two chatted and laughed for a bit and then locked the door and went back to school.
As for this side, Lin Qing He would send Zhou Kai over to clean up every few days.
She had gave Zhou Kai a head up. There was old Zhang Family next door. They once reported Uncle Wang for doing bad things. Better not socialize with them.
Zhou Kai took note.
However, even if Zhou Kai didn’t provoke others, they may not stay settled.
The neighboring old Madam Zhang was hanging clothes. She smiled kindly at Zhou Kai: “Are you really Teacher Lin’s son? I couldn’t tell at all. I thought you were siblings.”
Zhou Kai replied casually: “My mother looks young.”
Aunt Ma came out with a vegetable basket and called, “Xiao Kai, I have two extra tomatoes. Come and eat them.”
“Okay, I just happen to be a little thirsty.” Zhou Kai originally wanted to say no. But seeing Aunt Ma winking and directed her glance at old Madam Zhang, who was drying her clothes, he changed his response.
And walked over.
Aunt Ma whispered: “Xiao Kai, don’t pay attention to her. Her family has been asking around about your family recently.”
“Why are they inquiring?” Zhou Kai asked in puzzlement.
“Why else? Her family has been eyeing on old Wang’s house for a long time ago.” Aunt Ma harrumphed.
Wasn’t it because they wanted to take over old Wang’s place, they maliciously took action?
At that time, there were many people who went over to beg for leniency. However, it was too strict and interceding was useless. So old Zhang Family succeeded.
But later reform happened and he returned.
“Even when she sharpened her brain, she won’t get this house.” Zhou Kai said calmly when he heard this.
“That right. It’s all formal procedures. Still, that family is a bad bunch. Her two daughters who were sent away had returned two days ago.” Aunt Ma continued.
Zhou Kai nodded without care. He didn’t take it seriously. Aunt Ma educated in amusement: “You fool, they are targeting you, don’t you know?”
“Targeting me?” Zhou Kai was really taken aback now: “I’m only fifteen.”
That’s right. Don’t look at his height of 1.86 meters, but he was really only fifteen. Still a good bit away from becoming an adult at eighteen.
Aunt Ma laughed. At such a large age, she hoped the best for such an energetic young man: “Her youngest daughter is 18 years old. As the saying goes, marrying a girl who is three older is a fortune.”
“Granny Ma, say no more.” Zhou Kai uttered in shock.
Aunt Ma couldn’t stop laughing. Still, she got back to the topic and preached: “Her family kept on asking about you and your mother. Apart from targeting a house plan, I guess they have their ideas on for you. So Aunt called you over to specifically let you know. If she tells you to enter their house to help with something, you can’t go in. Otherwise, you won’t be able to escape.”
Once the door closes, her shameless daughter will be able to stick on him. If this happens, it was impossible to not marry her.
With others, it won’t happen. However, with old Zhang Family, it won’t be surprising.
Zhou Kai was dumbfounded.
This matter challenged his norms.
“Okay, go back now.” After Aunt Ma finished with the reminder, she smilingly said: “Let your mother come over another day. I have to chat with her.”
“Okay.” Zhou Kai returned as he snacked on tomatoes.
First, he cleaned the room. Then he politely declined old Madam Zhang’s invitation to go in to drink water and locked the door and went back.
Zhou Kai, who went back didn’t see it. But Aunt Ma, who came out to collect her clothes, did. The 18-year-old girl from the old Zhang family ran out to watch Xiao Kai’s back with a flushed face.
