Chapter 198. New academic year

Of course, this was Lin Qing He's personal concept of life.

She wouldn't say it out loud. If Mother Zhou caught a wisp of it, she would definitely overthink

The big watermelon was bought back and shared between the family. Each person only got one piece. Any more wasn't possible. Still, it was a great treat.

After all, there were really only two or three of family within the village that can buy watermelons.

But when she saw Zhou Xia nibbling on the watermelon skin that had been eaten by San Wa, Lin Qing He felt quite uncomfortable.

If this was to be seen by Second Sister-in-law, she will be angry.

"Xia Xia, throw the watermelon rind away." Lin Qing He went in and grabbed two candies for him to get him to throw away the watermelon rind.

"Thanks, Fourth Aunt." Zhou Xia was delighted. He threw away the tasteless watermelon rind and then accepted the milk candies.

"How is your study recently?" Lin Qing He asked.

"I listened seriously." Zhou Xia could only answer like that.

Er Wa was now in the second semester of the third grade, while Zhou Xia was still in the second grade. The reason why he can successfully pass the exam was thanks to Er Wa's continuous help. If not, he'll definitely repeat a grade.

There were many repeaters in the village.

However, Zhou Xia's results were indeed sloppy.

"If you don't understand, just come over and ask your fourth aunt." What else can Lin Qing He say?

"Okay." Zhou Xia nodded and went home with the candies.

He didn't gobble up the two candies on his own. He gave one to his youngest sister.

"Why don't I get one?" Zhou Liu Ni asked him.

"Fourth Aunt only gave me two. How can you get any?" Zhou Xia replied.

Zhou Liu was displeased: "Her life is so good over there, why didn't she give more? Just these two! Uncle(Su Da Lin) give more than her!"

Zhou San Ni frowned: "What are you saying?"

"Mind own your business!" Zhou Liu Ni pouted.

Second Sister-in-law picked up a stick to teach her a lesson. Zhou Liu Ni ran out quickly, and then came over to this side to wander.

Lin Qing He saw her when she came out to pour water.

"Fourth Aunt, you gave my brother two candies?" Zhou Liu Ni smilingly asked.

"En." Lin Qing He just gave her a glance, then turned around and went back in.

She didn't have a good impression of Second Sister-in-law's second daughter. She had a two-faced personality. Her temper was obviously like her mother.

Even when Second Sister-in-law distanced herself from Wang Ling, there were some nature that was hard to change even when she displayed improvements.

Seeing that she didn't bother with her, Zhou Liu Ni stomped her feet: "What a black-hearted woman!"

Uttering this, she turned to go back. But when she turned around, she saw San Wa standing behind her with a dark face.

Zhou Liu Ni was startled: "San Wa, what are you doing? People scaring people can scare people to death!"

"Don't come to my house in the future. Daring to call my mother a black-hearted woman, I think your heart is the blackest!" San Wa threw at her, then turned around and entered the house.

Zhou Liu Ni quickly demanded: "Don't tell on me!"

San Wa ignored her. He went in and told his mother at once that Zhou Liu Ni bad mouth her behind her back.

Lin Qing He snorted after hearing this. She responded, "Don't worry about her. From the look of it, this girl don't have good root."

"Who doesn't have a good root?" At this time, Mother Zhou returned with Little Su Xun from outside.

"Nothing." Lin Qing He didn't want to say more.

San Wa had no reservation: "Zhou Liu Ni! She called my mother black-hearted woman behind my mother's back!"

Mother Zhou was taken aback, then looked at Lin Qing He: "What's happened?"

"I saw Xia Xia was chewing on San Wa's leftover watermelon skin. I couldn't watch, so I gave him two candies and told him to throw it away. Liu Ni probably didn't get any and came over. I didn't give her any attention, so she was mad." Lin Qing He spoke as she selected the ingredient.

She didn't put it on her mind. What does Zhou Liu Ni's mood have to do with her?

But at the end of the day, she was still young. It was better to tell Mother Zhou and let her pass it to Second Sister-in-law. See if it can salvage her and not let old Zhou Family produce a hate-provoking daughter.

Ever since Zhoujia Village had Wang Ling as an example, every family had been more strict with their daughters.

It went without saying Mother Zhou went over to talk about it. She left little Su Xun behind and headed over to tattle to Second Sister.

Second Sister-in-law never thought her second daughter would dare to be so presumptuous. Let alone saying it in secret, she was actually caught by San Wa.

Therefore, a serving of bamboo frying meat won't be shorted.

After Second Brother knew the reason for it, he didn't stop her.

He also criticized Second Sister-in-law: "This girl's personality was completely like the past you. But she's not as sensible as you are now. If you don't pay attention to the teaching, we will have no face if anything happens in the future."

Although Second Sister-in-law was angry from embarrassment, she still sternly swept her sight to Zhou Liu Ni: "If I ever hear you ridicule your elders again, see if I'll snap your dog legs!"

Zhou Liu Ni had poor relationships within old Zhou Family. First branch’s girls and Third Branch only played with Zhou San Ni, not with Zhou Liu Ni.

This one had a sharp mouth. She won't let it drop if anything happened. What's more, who knows where she learned the bad habit, she loved to find people's shortcomings.

But this time she was beaten so severely and people were clueless to why.

Zhou Da Ni was already a big girl. She also came to dissuade it. Next year Zhou Da Ni will get married. This year, Eldest Sister-in-law didn't Zhou Da Ni help out in the field. She remained home to help out. Mostly with the intent of nurturing her a bit.

Speaking of it, these days passed really fast. In a blink of an eye, Zhou Da Ni was preparing to get married.

Lin Qing He kept it in mind. She had a good relationship with Eldest Sister-in-law. Also, her impression of Zhou Da Ni was pretty good. She was a sensible girl.

So she intended to add some dowry. As for good stuff, she didn't have any. She planned to prepare a new set of clothes for Zhou Da Ni.

This was an excellent gift.

Some girls, who were poor, might not get new clothes when they get married off.

Lin Qing He notified Eldest Sister-in-law in advance, lest that Eldest Sister-in-law had to prepare another set.

Zhou Liu Ni's lesson didn't stir any. It passed in a switch of a day.

It was September 1st. San Wa started first grade. Lin Qing He didn't plan to let this kid skip grades. He can take his time.

Who told him that his foundation wasn't as good as the two older ones. Da Wa and Er Wa were very motivated then. When it was San Wa's turn, he couldn't sit still for a moment.

When he was younger, he could sit still. But now he was more and more mischievous as he grew up.

He even often led little Su Cheng to climb up the tree to steal from the bird's nest and to dig the sweet potatoes in the field!

What Lin Qing He could do? Naturally, she gave him a round of hit and then apologized to the production team.

It wasn't just her family, so it wasn't a big deal. But compared to the two big ones, this one was the most naughty.

However, he was very happy when he went to school on September 1st. He had been looking forward to it for a long time!

He attended the same primary school as his second brother.

As for Da Wa, he had already sat on Lin Qing He's bike and started his new academic year in the first year of junior high.
