Chapter 498: Does she dislike me?
Chapter 498: Does she dislike me?
In the evening, Lin Qing He came over to find Zhou Xiao Mei to go to the bathhouse.
Zhou Xiao Mei complained: “Fourth Sister-in-law, do you know that hooligan, Xu Sheng Qiang went out to do it alone.”
“It’s okay to do it alone, Not a big deal” Lin Qing He carefreely responded.
Xu Sheng Qiang’s temperament can’t be changed. Nothing can be achieved. Even if he does, it will be temporary. Rabbit’s tail can’t grow longer.
But this wasn’t what made Zhou Xiao Mei displeased. What made Zhou Xiao Mei dissatisfied was that Xu Sheng Qiang’s attitude towards Su Da Lin was very disrespectful.
Two times when Su Da Lin spoke, Xu Sheng Qiang displayed his impatience to listen and immediately interrupted.
“He haven’t made any money yet and already like this. Only one hundred or so yuan a month makes him feel proud!” Zhou Xiao Mei scolded.
Her family didn’t eat his old Xu Family’s rice, so what’s so great? Her steamed bun shop was also very profitable. A profit of 500 yuan a month was safe estimate!
One hundred or so already made him like this?
Lin Qing He could imagine without asking. He probably didn’t dare to be too arrogant at this side, while at his little uncle-in-law’s side, he acted haughty.
“Work hard at earning money and strive to buy a house this year.” Lin Qing He changed the subject and said.
This year was a very important year. Because next year’s wage reform will cause prices to soar. Starting next year, prices will rise in the middle of the year. Especially for houses, which will inevitably also rise.
“Da Lin and I are planning to. However, we’re still short a lot.” Zhou Xiao Mei shook her head.
“If necessary, just come here to get some first. It’s better to buy it early,” Lin Qing He suggested.
To others, Lin Qing He won’t say much. Zhou Xiao Mei and her were friends for so many years. Telling her to buy a house at this time was also giving her a guarantee.
Otherwise, it will increase in the future and they may not be able to afford it.
“Thank you, Fourth Sister-in-law.” Zhou Xiao Mei smiled: “When needed, I’ll let you know.”
“By the way, if there is a way to transfer the household registration, do you and Da Lin have any intention to?” Lin Qing He asked.
“It would be good if it could be moved. I heard that it’s not easy to.” Zhou Xiao Mei hesitated.
Now that they were at the capital, Zhou Xiao Mei had adapted to the life here. She didn’t plan to go back to the county. Even though the county wasn’t bad, it was incomparable to the capital.
So Zhou Xiao Mei intended to live here like this. After all, their career was here, right?
She also knew that it was difficult to transfer the household registration. Without connection, one may not necessarily be able to transfer it even when they got few thousand ready for the fee.
“Sister Weng’s eldest son is going to return to the capital this year. Judging from their words, he will probably enter the Civil Affairs Bureau in the future. If there is a way then, I will ask.” Lin Qing He mentioned.
On the second day of the New Year, Father Weng and Mother Weng had brought Weng Guo Liang to their house for dinner. Naturally, they knew that Weng Guo Liang was about to transfer back home.
Maybe he will enter the Civil Affairs Bureau then.
It was said he might enter, but it was basically confirmed. In all likelihood, he will work there.
Lin Qing He had this intention.
“But it also needs some mediation.” Lin Qing He told Zhou Xiao Mei.
If there were internal connections, the cost won’t be that large. Especially when it was safe. A situation like people taking the money and do nothing won’t happen.
“Then Fourth Sister-in-law notify me then!” Zhou Xiao Mei eagerly responded.
Lin Qing He agreed.
“If we can move the household registration, we will be capital’s citizen in the future.” Zhou Xiao Mei said.
Since they weren’t local, children entering school was a large problem. It required her fourth sister-in-law’s connection before they can attend elementary school smoothly.
Still, it can’t keep going on like this. Better to solve the household registration issue early.
The sisters-in-law took a shower and went home feeling refreshed.
Naturally, Zhou Xiao Mei recounted this matter to Su Da Lin and Su Da Lin said gratefully: “Must thank … Fourth Si… Sister-in-law.”
Since the two of them came here, they really received a lot of care from Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law.
Zhou Xiao Mei said: “When our household registration is resolved, we can buy a house here. Then we will be veritable capital residents.”
Su Da Lin grinned. Although he didn’t say it, he liked the capital as well. It was a little bit cold in winter. Other than that, there were basically no faults.
“This…this year…Elder Cousin… Cousin Sister-in-law will… come.” Su Da Lin said.
“Come then. When the time comes, find a shop farther away. Don’t share location with us. Also, rent the house farther away. The rest is no problem,” Zhou Xiao Mei responded.
Su Da Lin nodded.
After the fifth passed, the New Year spirit had faded a lot. On the sixth, Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai drove Father Zhou, old Wang, and Su Da Lin to the hot springs for a break.
As for Mother Zhou, didn’t bring. The hot spring was so expensive now. If she was brought, don’t think about peace this first month.
Mother Zhou felt aggrieved. In fact, she wanted to go too. It was just she felt the price was too expensive. That place won’t give a discount due to the large number of people. It was per person. What a cheat?
“Mother, what are you doing? You look so listless.” Zhou Xiao Mei remarked when she came back with her two girls.
“Does your fourth sister-in-law dislike me?” Mother Zhou said aggrievedly.
Zhou Xiao Mei laughed in her heart and internally commented, Fourth Sister-in-law doesn’t dislike you. She is afraid of you. Since she couldn’t afford to provoke, she could avoid.
So she won’t take you to play.
“How filial is Fourth Sister-in-law? Go to the park and ask those old ladies to see which daughter-in-law is like her?” Zhou Xiao Mei couldn’t tell the truth and just uttered.
Naturally, Mother Zhou knew and said, “But your fourth sister-in-law doesn’t want to take me there.”
“That car doesn’t have enough room. Wang Yuan’s car can hold five people.” Zhou Xiao Mei pointed out.
“She really doesn’t dislike me?” Mother Zhou asked.
“If she does, would she still respect you so much? How much red envelopes did Fourth Sister-in-law give you and your father during the New Year?” Zhou Xiao Mei mentioned.
When Mother Zhou heard this, her face smiled. Fourth’s wife gave her and her partner a red envelope each. A red envelope of fifty yuan. She gave them one hundred yuan in pocket money.
“Speaking of which, since Sheng Mei lost her previous child, why hasn’t she been pregnant yet? Did she gain an illness root the last time?” Mother Zhou asked.
Zhou Xiao Mei didn’t want to care about Xu Sheng Mei and responded, “Mother, get less involve in these things. They don’t desire your care.”
She won’t worry about those who look down on her Da Lin. Even when they were her elder sister’s son and daughter. It was all the same!
“Oh, these two siblings. Makes one fret.” Mother Zhou lightly sighed: “Really, your eldest sister. Don’t she know how to teach them well.”
Zhou Xiao Mei peeled an orange for her mother and told her to eat it: “Eat an orange.” And stop talking.
But old Madam Zhu from next door came over.
Mother Zhou’s expression faded when she saw her and said in a hypocritical polite manner: “How come you got free time to drop by?”
