Chapter 36 - Definitely withhold the ultimate move

The old lady's eyes reddened and she talked non-stop, "It's good that you retire. Although home isn't as good as there, at least eating won't be a problem. Also, it's not so dangerous. Da Wa and his brothers are still too young."

It was really god's blessings. If he met misfortune, it was really unimaginable.

Fourth's wife was definitely unreliable. If her youngest son met with misfortune outside, then she will definitely pack up and remarried.

What will happen to those three grandsons then?

"That's right! Does Da Wa's mother know? She always wanted to be an official wife. If you retire now, she wouldn't let it go?" The old lady recalled and her face changed quickly as she rushed to ask.

Mother Zhou was very clear about the original owner's ambition, so after being angst, she began to worry about her youngest son's other half at home.

"I told her. Although she was a little disappointed, she understood that there was no room for turning around and have no objection." Zhou Qing Bai said.

"No objection?" Mother Zhou froze: "How is this possible?"

Fourth's wife had her eyes set high. She always wanted to be an official wife and considered herself as an official wife. She looked down all the women in the village and for so long she never converse with any of them.

Of course, she showed disdain and never group into with the rural women.

If her dream of becoming an official wife shattered, how terrible it'll be? The sky will be punctured by her, right?

"Old Fourth, your wife must be holding back her ultimate move. You must her carefully. If she wants to divorce you, you must not divorce. You must stand firm or Da Wa and his brothers have no mother. At that time, you can't lift your head! " Mother Zhou rambled on.

Zhou Qing Bai displayed a helpless expression. He wanted to tell his mother that it wasn't that serious. His wife thought it through.

However, Mother Zhu wouldn't believe that.

Even if she behaved well after transmigrated, the impression left by the original owner was deeply ingrained- not someone who settle things peacefully.

It was apparent from the moment she dared use her pregnancy to forcefully split away from the family shortly after marrying in.

But Zhou Qing Bai really didn't think his wife would make trouble. He was really unsettled before returning. He was worried that she wouldn't let it drop and there would be no peace in the house then. But he watched her reaction after finding out, she was indeed clearly dejected, as if the spiritual pillar that had always supported her had collapsed.

But this state only maintained until he took out three thousand yuans and the bundle of coupons. All her displeasure disappeared then.

He can see this emotion.

Therefore, there was no such thing as withholding an ultimate move.

But to be so open-minded, this should be the change brought by the thief scare.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing Bai's eyebrows condensed.

Seeing his expression, Mother Zhou thought he kept her words in mind. Fearing he would aggravate the family conflicts when he returns, she quickly interjected: "Your wife's temper is like a firecracker. If you have something to talk about, tell her slowly. It's not a big deal. You have to comfort her, understand? Don't remain silent and let her guess. The time she spent with you is less than a month, and she can't guess it right. "

Zhou Qing Bai got up and said: "Don't worry, Mother. It's okay."

There was one phrase his mother said right. They have been married for so many years and Da Wa was five years old, six after the new year. But truthfully, the time they interacted with each other didn't reach a month.

So he still didn't know her. He can't look at her with past observation. For example, this time when he came back, didn't she take good care of all three sons?

Zhou Qing Bai came out to say goodbye to his father and three older brothers and went back.

When Eldest Brother returned to his room, he talked about it with Eldest Sister-in-law. Eldest Sister-in-law was stunned: "Not going anymore? Stay in the village in the future?"

"En, it counts as retiring." Brother Zhou nodded.

"Would Fourth's wife agree?" Eldest Sister-in-law blurted.

Brother Zhou said: "There's no problem with old Fourth staying. What is there to not agree? Also, it's dangerous to be outside in the wind and rain. There's no danger to stay in the village. No need to be afraid of starving too. What reason is there to disagree?"

"You don't know what Fourth's wife thinking?" Eldest Sister-in-law rebutted.

"What?" Brother Zhou responded.

"Not saying. You won't understand even if I did." Eldest Sister-in-law waved her hand.

It wasn't only Eldest Sister-in-law who understood Lin Qing He's thoughts. Both Second Sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law also knew.

After hearing their men mention this, they were shocked.

Their first reaction was the same as Eldest Sister-in-law, ask whether Fourth's wife agree? Did she stir trouble like crazy?

Second Brother and Third Brother had understood.

They expressed they didn't know. He got called by Mother into the room to have a good talk. She might not cause a ruckus, maybe?

Not cause a ruckus?

Second Sister-in-law did not believe it.

She simply gathered Eldest Sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law over to knit sweaters and chat.

As expected, they also bought woolen yarn back to knit sweaters and trousers. Otherwise, how could they bear this freezing to death weather?

"Eldest Sister-in-law, Third Sister-in-law, you know about Fourth Brother-in-law's retirement, right?" Asked Second Sister-in-law as she knitted.

"Yes." Eldest Sister-in-law replied.

"How can this be hidden?" Third Sister-in-law also said.

After all, Fourth Brother-in-law will stay in the village in the future. It wasn't possible to conceal.

"Don't know how bad Fourth Sister-in-law is quarreling at home now. You know what kind of thoughts she has. Her eyes were like they grew on the top of her head. Always thinking about flying up the branch and turn into a phoenix one day. Now she fell and turned into a grass chicken." Second Sister-in-law chattered.

Naturally, there was a little bit of gloating in her tone.

Eldest Sister-in-law had just made a piece of close-fitting clothing for her son from the fabric the other had given her. She gently chided: "Don't say it like that. We are all one family. We gain nothing from Fourth Brother-in-law's retirement. I was initially thinking, if Fourth Brother-in-law gets promoted again, he can take care of the nephews of the old Zhou family in the future."

Second Sister-in-law heard these words and couldn't help but sigh: "True."

Of course, she had the same thought, even if her son was only three years old this year. If his fourth uncle was successful, her son would be cared for as his nephew, right?

It was also for such reason, Second Sister-in-law, who used to love nit-picking in front of the original owner, toned it down a lot over the years.

As for Third Sister-in-law, her mind was still wondering whether Lin Qing He can get some trotters for her post-natal confinement. And also the leftover fabric from making Da Wa brothers' clothes last time, which were used to make her daughter's coat. That was warm. Let's not forget the brown sugar left in the jar, it was also sent from there.

So on this matter, Third Sister-in-law would only mull over it in her mind and never say it out.

Only Second Sister-in-law was someone who couldn't hold herself back. After the chat broke off with the two sisters-in-law, she came out.

Like this, the news of Zhou Qing Bai's retirement and starting to work in the field was spread in the village. The village was small, and soon the leader of the team directed his grandson to call Zhou Qing Bai over.
