Chapter 375: Conflict and nurture
Lin Qing He had classes to give. Basically, she got little free time.
The management of the stops was all left to Ma Cheng Min’s charge. Still, the true boss, Zhou Qing Bai had to go around.
Whether it was a small workshop or shops.
Because it truly made money, even Zhou Qing Bai place them importance even with his personality.
At noon that day, Lin Qing He saw that it was around 11:30. It should be time to return home from the field for lunch, so she called Eldest Sister-in-law.
Eldest Sister had just come back from the field. She washed her face and hands before coming over to answer the phone.
Lin Qing He made some small talks before asking about Zhou Yang and Zhou Wu Ni’s academic performance.
In June of this year, the two of them were going to take the college entrance examination.
“I don’t know how they did. Both your eldest brother and I don’t understand this, but I heard that English scores are very good. They can get high ranks in the class.” Eldest Sister-in-law was delighted when chatted about this.
Lin Qing He grinned.
When Zhou Yang and Zhou Wu Ni came over, they had to memorize five words every day. Her second son trained them personally. The mathematics questions were also very specific. The Chinese text that should be memorized was memorized. The score shouldn’t be low.
The key points were focused on other subjects. The learning materials had been given.
If they put in the effort and study hard, they should still be able to get into a good college.
The sisters-in-law chatted for a while. She told her how Zhou Er Ni do them in proud of the evening classes. Eldest Sister-in-law was delighted. When they were about to hang up, Eldest Sister-in-law hesitated. She asked after a slight pause: “Qing He, what do you think of me raising ducks?”
“Raising ducks?” Lin Qing He was puzzled.
“En. There happens to be a small river on the other side of the field. If I raise ducks, they can be driven over there to raise. I can also help with some farming work. I was thinking how well Father had raised ducks before. So I had this thought.” Eldest Sister-in-law said with some uncertainty.
Before it was due to Lin Qing He wanting to make old duck soup, Father Zhou especially raised more ducks since he didn’t need to do fieldwork. Around seven or eight ducks.
They didn’t need to feed them anything. Just herd them to the river to eat small fish and shrimp every day. It was a good idea.
“Eldest Sister-in-law, do you want to raise a large scale?” Lin Qing He asked.
“I do have that intention. It’s just, your eldest brother said that I’m messing around.” Eldest Sister-in-law said.
“What messing? Look at Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law. Now they are opening a shop in the city. Last year, the people in the village often said they were blindly messing, right?” Lin Qing He replied.
“You’re right. They are doing a good job now.” Eldest Sister-in-law nodded.
Wasn’t it because of this that she wanted to try to develop?
“If you want to do it, you can try it. It doesn’t need much capital.” Lin Qing He said: “But how many do you want to raise?”
“Planning to raise twenty or so?” Eldest Sister-in-law answered uncertainly.
“Then what is there to worry about. It’s only twenty or so.” Lin Qing He responded straightforwardly after hearing this.
To her, large scale was a hundred or so kind. For Eldest Sister-in-law, it was around twenty… Two different mindset.
“How’s Zhou Dong’s side doing?” Lin Qing He asked.
“Zhou Dong and Cai Ba Mei are doing exceptionally well now. Your third brother basically comes and collects eggs every other day.” Eldest Sister-in-law felt slight envy when Zhou Dong was mentioned.
How much money did he make? She heard that he had raised two to three hundred chickens!
“So, as long as it’s not the kind of real messing around, you won’t do badly. It’s only 20 or so ducks. Eldest Sister-in-law, go raise it.” Lin Qing He supported.
The electricity bill was still very expensive. So when there was no other matter, they hung up.
However, because of this call, Eldest Sister-in-law directly went to catch thirty ducklings, despite the Eldest Brother’s objection.
Eldest Brother was very helpless: “There’s no end of farm work to do, do you have time to do this?”
“What’s wrong with this? Aren’t we raising one pig and ten chickens the same way?” Eldest Sister-in-law refuted.
Eldest Daughter was married. Second Daughter went to the capital to earn a stable income. All the household chores were left to Zhou Si Ni. She was also a nimble girl.
Basically, didn’t need Eldest Sister-in-law to do housework. Everything was neatly handled up.
Both the pig and chickens were fed by Zhou Si Ni.
She saw that her parents were about to quarrel and spoke, “I can raise these ducks. When they grow up, I will take them out to the river to eat small fish and shrimp.”
Eldest Brother didn’t say anything then.
Once he went back to his room, Zhou Si Ni pulled her mother to the side and whispered: “Mother, I heard the hen crying out. When I head over to the chicken coop, I didn’t see any eggs. It must have been taken by Liu Ni again.”
Eldest Sister-in-law’s face turned black. This wasn’t the first time this happened. Otherwise, why would she not want to be under the same roof as ThirdSecond Branch?
She really had enough of this kind of petty theft.
However, Second’s wife had never said a word. She had told her to manage Liu Ni.
Second’s wife didn’t take it seriously, saying that the hen’s crow does not necessarily mean an egg is laid.
That kind of cry only sounded when the hen laid eggs. How can it be wrong!
However, as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, she couldn’t outright scold. So she said: “Be careful next time. We are already hoarding adobes. We can build a new house by the end of this year!”
When the time comes, the whole family will move out. This place will be used as an old house and store firewood. There was no need to live with Second’s wife!
Speaking of it, old Third’s family was better. They moved to the city last year and their business was doing well. Like really well.
If it wasn’t for the fact they(1st branch) weren’t good talkers, she would want to do business.
It was only a thought. It was better to peacefully plow the field and raise pig and chickens at home. Now that there were the additions of ducks, there will be an income when the time come.
Let’s get back to the capital’s side.
Zhou Er Ni was really going all out now. Hu Zi was also influenced by her. They had made huge progress, so Lin Qing He got them both to start trying to do the accounts for the clothing stores.
Although this was Ma Cheng Min’s job, it didn’t stop them from learning.
Although it was someone else’s errand, it doesn’t mean that they can’t learn. If something happens in the future, they can substitute.
Lin Qing He didn’t have classes to give in this afternoon. Because she had to go to Wang Yuan’s Garment Factory to order a batch of new clothes, she left Xu Sheng Mei to watch the shop by herself. She took Zhou Er Ni with hr.
“Oh, you’re finally going to introduce me to a college student?” Wang Yuan heard her arrival and he came out in person. He grinned when he saw Zhou Er Ni.
“This is my niece. I brought her here to gain knowledge. Made Boss Wang laugh.” Lin Qing He responded with a smile.
“It turns out to be Teacher Lin’s niece. So fortunate to meet you.” Wang Yuan said and stretched out his hand.
Lin Qing He shook hand with her. Zhou Er Ni was a little younger and learned to shake. Even though she tried to learn to be composed, there was an unnatural blush on her face.
