Back to the Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise the Cubs

Chapter 38. Freaking out

Zhou Qing Bai, who returned at an unknown time, had clearly heard an earful from the door: "..."

He didn't even know that his wife had this ability to say one thing and mean another.

It was obvious that she was afraid he would get cold and be hungry. Forget last night, as she didn’t know what happened and looked after him. But this morning, he showed his card and she still gave him a bowl after he got back from old Zhou ’s house. His three sons also received a share.

But toward his mother, it was this ruthless appearance.

She got two faces? (T/N:

?)

He really didn't understand his wife.

Inside, Mother Zhou choked. Her mind said, 'this is your man, how is it not your business?'. But she knew she was angry now and no words can reach her. What's more, she can only accede instead of going against her. Otherwise, once old Fourth return, life would be up-ended.

"Father, hold me!" At this time, San Wa's voice sounded outside the door.

The little guy wandered out to see his father, and directly headed over to hug his leg as he asked.

Zhou Qing Bai picked up San Wa. At this time, Mother Zhou came out of the room.

"Mother, go back. There's no problem here." Holding San Wa, Zhou Qing Bai conveyed.

Mother Zhou was filled with worry. Looking at her youngest son, whose wife was about to run, she urged, "Old Fourth, come home with mum for a bit."

Zhou Qing Bai followed her the door, carrying San Wa. Mother Zhou whispered: "Old Fourth, you heard it just outside the door, right? You need to have a good talk your wife, understood? If you can't convince her to stay, then you really need to take care of Da Wa and his brothers by yourself."

Even if her son divorced like this, it would never be a problem to find another. But the main point was that it wasn't possible now. With three sons, how can he get married again? Marry one back to abuse her three grandsons?

Although Fourth's wife was like that, it was better than a stepmother, no matter how unreasonable the biological mother was.

Without waiting for her son to speak, Mother Zhou continued: "Go back and talk with your wife. Just promise her that she didn't have to work in the field. How she lived before is how it'll be in the future. It's enough that she can take care of your family. Next year, Da Wa will be able to gather pigweed to earn work points. The household putting in the effort can get headcount share, so even without her going to the field, you can still live well! "

Zhou Qing Bai nodded seriously: "I'll listen to Mother. I will explain it clearly to her."

He seemed to understand why his wife talked to his mother like that.

Of course, he wouldn't be so stupid to say it. He knew everything about earning work points. He won't make the living conditions at home become bad.

Only when she saw him agreed, did Mother Zhou go back. It just she was still worried.

At home, Lin Qing He acted like nothing happened. Seeing that it wasn't ten o'clock yet, she directed at Zhou Qing Bai: "I heard Mother said you have injuries. Come in and let me see."

As she said this, she took San Wa into her embrace.

Zhou Qing Bai glanced at her and said, "It's no big deal."

Lin Qing He just stared at him. Last night she was too shy. Now she can almost calmly face him. Her adaptability was very strong, especially when her commotion with Mother Zhou was witnessed by him. She felt that she could take the plunge

Human ah, as long as they were willing to take the plunge, anything was possible.

Zhou Qing Bai saw that she won't accept any objection, he had no choice but to enter and take off his clothes to show her. Lin Qing He was a little embarrassed, but when she saw the scar on his wound, she couldn't help but feel heartache.

"Quickly put on your clothes, lie down on the Kang at once." Lin Qing He ordered.

Zhou Qing Bai obediently put on his clothes. The weather was still quite cold. He uttered: "Are there house chores left to do?"

"Yes." Lin Qing He nodded.

Zhou Qing Bai watched at her, obviously waiting for her instructions.

"Obediently, lie on the Kang for me, and completely nurse your wounds. We'll talk after that " Said Lin Qing He.

Zhou Qing Bai looked at her and persisted, "The injuries on my body are fine."

"It's just fine. It doesn't mean it's completely healed. If you want to work, there's enough for you next year. And it'll be all done by you. Now quickly lie down. My temper isn't good, so don't add fire to it." Lin Qing He frowned.

What fine? She can feel the ache just by looking at it!

Zhou Qing Bai saw that she was really angry, he felt quite helpless. That easy to get angry. Resigned, he turned around to return to the kids' kang.

Lin Qing He placed San Wa with him and let him watch over him. Then she went to heat up the Kang.

At this moment, Da Wa and Er Wa returned from the outside. These two brothers had gone out and flaunted the fact that their father came back. It made them more euphoric than getting new clothes to wear.

"Your father risked coming back through the snowstorm last night. He's not feeling too well, you guys go to the Kang and talk with him." Lin Qing He suggested.

Da Wa and Er Wa held high expectation and awe toward their father, Zhou Qing Bai. So hearing their mother say so, they all went.

Zhou Qing Bai saw his two elder sons coming in, he gestured for them to come over with his eyes.

Da Wa and Er Wa scrambled over and watched at him.

Da Wa revealed: "Mother said Father is sick. Then, Father, you need to rest more."

"En. Last time San Wa was sick, Mother had to take care of him for the whole night without sleeping," Er Wa nodded.

San Wa had a cold just a few days ago. Lin Qing He had taken a lot of caution since she came, but he still caught a cold. That night she really didn’t sleep for the whole night and took care of him. Da Wa and Er Wa only knew about it the next day.

Zhou Qing Bai knew that it was not easy for his wife to take care of their three sons, but he thought when the kids get sick, she'll keep watch for one night.

"Father not leaving?" Da Wa's eyes shone.

Er Wa couldn't help looking expectantly at him.

Just not their little friends mentioned it. They heard the adults say their father won't leave anymore and will stay in the village.

"Not leaving." Zhou Qing Bai affirmed.

"That's great!" Da Wa and Er Wa were excited.

Naturally, children won't think too much. Their minds were very simple. They want their father to stay at home. But they don't know that if their father stays at home, there will be no source of income for the family.

Outside, Lin Qing He was thinking of making soup to nourish Zhou Qing Bai when she heard laughter from the room.

Although the relationship between father and son will worsen in the future, the three little men in the family have natural worship for their father so far.

After all, he was so tall and so big. He looked very strong and better than the fathers of other children in the village. So they were happy to recognize him.

Lin Qing He cooked stewed seaweed ribs soup in the casserole pot. After all, she ‘knew’ he still had injuries on his body. She must express that.

Then, she made stewed pork belly with potatoes and shrimp skin soup. The pork rib soup was specially made for villains' father. She and the children can have shrimp skin soup.

At 11 o'clock around noon, her family can eat.

The patient's soup was for Zhou Qing Bai to drink alone. Neither Da Wa nor Er Wa had the intention of wanting it. They expressed that they were fine with drinking shrimp soup.

Zhou Qing Bai darted a glance at Lin Qing He.

Lin Qing He explained: "Their father is unwell, so needs nourishment. Both of our boys are filial and will not fight with their father."
