Chapter 105: I heard it with my own ears
"Father, don't think about finding excuses. I heard it with my own ears. There was one more time before that!" Da Wa also had a serious expression.
San Wa simply got off the Kang to grab onto Zhou Qing Bai's legs. He hit a few times with his utmost strength, and then turned to his mother: "Hit now, don't be angry."
Initially, Lin Qing He was mortified. Was there anything more embarrassing than their couple's homework being exposed by these little imps?
But seeing the three sons protecting her like this, she started to feel an ache from the heart. Then she was touched.
Lin Qing He went over to hug San Wa and gave Zhou Qing Bai a glance. Zhou Qing Bai had finally understood, he also wanted to laugh.
Da Wa woke up in the middle of the night before and he thought he had forgotten. Unexpectedly, he didn't.
He had overheard them last night too.
Lin Qing He didn't need him to speak, she explained to Da Wa, Er Wa, and San Wa, who was in her arms: "Your father didn't hit me."
"How is that possible? I won't hear it wrong." Da Wa didn't believe it.
At the time, he really wanted to get up and help his mother but he was powerless at a young age. He was just too sleepy and couldn't get up.
"Mother, you don't help Father cover it up. We won't forgive Father's crimes!" Er Wa, the kid, was still in the frontline.
"Hit back!" San Wa was in her arms, he waved a small baby fist in warning to his father.
"It's true. It wasn't your father beating me, it was Mother who had a nightmare." Lin Qing He said: "Mother had a nightmare and woken up Da Wa. You two little ones were still sleeping like a pig. Your father also woke up and he comforted me."
This explanation was very reliable.
Da Wa believed a little, while Er Wa was puzzled. "What is a nightmare?" He always slept till dawn. Besides going to pee in the middle of the night, he didn't dream.
Da Wa explained to him: "Nightmare is a bad dream."
"Have you ever dreamed of one, Eldest Brother?" Er Wa asked him.
"I have. I dreamed that my trotter was eaten by Gang Tie, whom you brought home. I was so angry, I kicked him into the water. Then I woke up in fright." Da Wa replied.
"Isn't that drowning?" Er Wa said with wide eyes.
"Complete nonsense. In the first month, not allowed to speak nonsense." Lin Qing He interjected.
But after such an interruption, the three brothers understood. It turned out that it wasn't Father hitting Mother, rather it was Mother getting nightmare and Father was comforting her.
"This is quite embarrassing. You are not allowed to go outside and speak of it, otherwise, if I catch a single word, all the snacks will be banned in the future. I can keep my words." Lin Qing He gave Da Wa and Er Wa a warning look.
Da Wa and Er Wa promised and it let her feel reassured. They definitely won't tell the story of Mother's crying from a nightmare and Father giving comfort.
"Seeing how good you are, I'll reward each of you with a new set of clothes." Lin Qing He stated.
"Hehe, is Mother bribing us?" Da Wa laughed.
Lin Qing He smiled with an itch of wanting to hit him. This kid knew to use the word bribe!
Like this, this matter was over.
While the children were out playing, Lin Qing He warned Zhou Qing Bai: "You do that next time, you go sleep by yourself!"
"You also like it." Zhou Qing Bai said honestly.
When she was hugging him, it was so tight. She also enthusiastically cooperated with him, as if she wanted to squeeze him dry.
Lin Qing He blushed: "Not allowed in the future."
Zhou Qing Bai turned his attention to the clothes in her hand: "You can make yours and the children. I have enough."
"Still need to make a spare set for you to change into," Lin Qing He said.
Because of having an income from the pork, she did not want her family to suffer any grievance at all.
After one month, her income from pork was more than Su Da Lin's as the pork price in the black market had risen. The price had increased by nearly two dimes per pound.
And starting from this year, she planned to buy some additional grains with the team during the food distribution and bring it over to the black market to earn the price difference.
The profit from this was a considerable amount. One time profit was enough to earn two or three months' wages.
With the space in her hand, she was really adept when it comes to doing this business.
Lin Qing He brought the clothes over to the old Zhou's house to process them on the sewing machine. Then she chatted with Third Sister-in-law about Zhou Xiao Mei's plan to take the child home for Mother Zhou to raise.
"Xiao Mei said that when Third Sister-in-law is on your post-natal confinement, she could send you some beneficial items for post-natal confinement. She hoped that when the child is sent back, you would help her breastfeed her child." Lin Qing He explained to Third Sister-in-law.
Third Sister-in-law had no objection, and as expected, she was delighted to. She lowered her voice and said, "What about Second Sister-in-law?"
"What does it have to do with her?" Lin Qing He halted.
She didn't still hear the news that Second Sister-in-law was pregnant. It was still very cold in this first month, she was basically at home. At most, she would chatter with the neighbor, Mrs. Huang or head over to Zhou Dong and Zhou Xi's place. Since Second Sister-in-law was at old Zhou's house, she rarely came over, so she was clueless.
Seeing that she didn't know yet, Third Sister-in-law told her.
Lin Qing He's mouth twitched at the corner. She was really speechless, they were really all about getting pregnant together.
"She is she, you are you. When Xiao Mei married out, she wasn't willing to gift a single peanut. Xiao Mei will not hand this matter to her." Lin Qing He said, and then looked at Third Sister-in-law: "What does Third Sister-in-law think?" "
"If you go to the county city next time, tell sister that I'll take care of this matter." Third Sister-in-law grinned.
As for saying that Second Sister-in-law's inconsiderate behavior caused her unable to participate in Sister's matter. She and Second Sister-in-law had barely passable relationship on the surface, but to say deep connection, there were none.
So how could she give up such comfortable post-natal confinement treatment for Second Sister-in-law?
It must be known that she had given birth to Wu Ni before and Zhou Dong Dong, the son was not born yet, Second Sister-in-law had privately and openly had a go at her. She treated her as if she could never give birth again.
It must be mentioned, there was no injustice between the two sisters-in-law, just some resentment.
But in the end, they were all under one roof, so some things had to be tolerated. However, it was impossible to give up the things that sister Zhou Xiao Mei offered for her post-natal confinement in exchange for caring about Second Sister-in-law's feelings.
Lin Qing He beamed and agreed.
"How is Da Wa's studies?" Third Sister-in-law asked.
"Not bad at all. Every time he brings back a hundred points. He had learned and memorized the second grade in advance and plans to go to the third grade next year." Lin Qing He said.
"Entering third grade at such a young age?" Third Sister-in-law was in astonishment: "Will he get bullied?"
"It'll be good if he doesn't bully people." Lin Qing He chuckled.
Da Wa was pretty big, even though he was seven years old, as she and Zhou Qing Bai weren't short. Zhou Qing Bai was over one meter eighty-five. She was about one meter sixty-seventy. Da Wa inherited their genes, so he was currently comparable to the average nine years older. He got some strength. He got into fights quite a lot and didn't suffer at all.
