Chapter 10 Well Made Foundation

Mother Zhou also knew she was distressed for herself, as for others, don't think about it. In fact, the clothes Da Wa, Er Wa, and San Wa wore were from a year ago. At that time, it was made a bit longer and was wearable even to now.

At that time, it was made by Third Sister-in-law. And because of this, Zhou Da Wa would 'little brother' whenever he saw Third Auntie's belly...

Must say he was discerning.

"But third daughter-in-law's belly is so big now." Although she doted her three grandchildren, Mother Zhou was hesitant.

"How far along is she?" Lin Qing He asked.

"There are still two months left," Mother Zhou answered.

"Then Mother, go back and ask Third Sister-in-law to see if she wants to or not. If she is willing, I can give her two pounds of brown sugar to nourish her body while she is confined in birth rest." Lin Qing He stated.

"Brown sugar? Where did you get the brown sugar?" Mother Zhou couldn't help saying.

"With money, naturally there is brown sugar." Lin Qing He raised an eyebrow.

When Mother Zhou heard it, she understood that it must have been obtained from the black market.

Lin Qing He also what kind of character the original owner was, she put Zhou San Wa in her arms and said, "Mother, you feed San Wa first. I'm going in to get brown sugar."

At this time, brown sugar was a rare thing. Especially for the soon-to-give-birth Third Sister-in-law, it was definitely a scarce item.

When Lin Qing He returned to her room, she took two jin of it out of the space. In her space, she only had twenty jin ( or 10kg), so it was not much.

Two jin of brown sugar was packed in a clean jar, which was a lot of weight, and what's more the color of this brown sugar was also good quality.

"Mother, have a look." Lin Qing He showed her the brown sugar.

Toward the business-like tone, Mother Zhou didn't find it strange. Having a quick look and she said, "Then I'll take it back and ask for you?"

"All right." Lin Qing He nodded and pointed to the porridge: "This is for Mother to nourish your body. Have it." It was an appearance of once this passes, it expires.

If she had acted filial, Mother Zhou would panic in her heart and not eat it. But seeing her like this, Mother Zhou thought 'I'm your mother-in-law, so what if I eat this?'

So she ate the bowl of egg and lean pork congee as well. The taste was really fragrant.

Then she took a jar of brown sugar and went back.

"Mother, do you really want Third Auntie to make clothes for us?" Zhou Da Wa's eyes shone brightly.

"It's a big jar of brown sugar." Zhou Er Wa was focus on that.

Zhou San Wa was already full and played by himself in the yard. Lin Qing He started eating by herself, and said, "One for each person, no more. As for the brown sugar, it takes a lot of care to make clothes for you, so I need to give some fee for the effort. "

Although she inherited the original owner's skill, she really can't make children's clothes. Probably was because the original owner's obsession was too deep, she will make ...

"Mother, if you do it yourself, you don't have to give Third Auntie brown sugar." Er Wa was still thinking about this.

Lin Qing He stared: "If I don't make clothes for you, I don't have to give this brown sugar!"

With this sentence, Er Wa shut up.

Lin Qing He wasn't going to spoil him and drank her egg and lean pork congee. After a while, she remembered, "You have to change your shoes. I have to make shoes for you as well. It would have been good to have a daughter to help out, but you all are sons. Can't count on it any of you. Giving birth to sons is making debts."

When she said this, Mother Zhou had just returned. And her face was unchanged. This Fourth Daughter-in-law is lazy to death, so naturally, she wishes for a daughter to work for her.

"Your Third Sister-in-law agreed." Mother Zhou said when she came in.

"I'm finished. Mother, wait a moment, I'll go in to get the cloth and cotton." Lin Qing He put down her tableware and said.

It was already the end of September now and it wasn't that fast to make cotton coats. Afraid it will be around mid-October when the cotton coats for the three brothers are done. At that time, it will be cold. Now it was one day different from another.

And as Third Sister-in-law's belly grows bigger, so can't really order her around later.

Lin Qing He went in and took the cloth and two pounds of cotton.

This time the cloth bought back was not only for the original owner herself. The original owner intended to send it to her maternal family to gain face. In fact, one jin of two jin of cotton was prepared for her maternal family.

But now Lin Qing He was here, old Lin Family better not expect anything. If there was a chance, she still wanted to take back the new military coat that Zhou Qing Bai sent back before!

Counting how much it takes to make her own clothes and the amount reserved for old Lin Family, it was just right to make three sets of winter clothes for the three brothers. After all, Zhou Da Wa would need a lot of fabrics because she had to reserve some length to avoid it being too short when he grew next year.

The same thing for Zhou Er Wa. Actually, there was no need to do it for Zhou San Wa, as above him were two older brothers. But since they were making it, then they should make it for all three brothers.

Anyway, she didn't need to use her hands, just only move her mouth.

As a low-rank female cannon fodder, she was that capricious!

Mother Zhou did not expect that she could get such good cloth and so much cotton, and what's more, it wasn't for herself but for her three sons.

This was somewhat comforting for Mother Zhou. But it was inevitable that she'll say a few more words: "Now Da Wa and the others are still young, but within a few years, they will all grow up one by one. At that time, it will cost money to marry a wife... "

"Mother, don't worry, I know." Lin Qing He interrupted her directly and said.

Mother Zhou choked, mentally said, 'You understand? What do you understand? Whose life isn't like a tight belt? You are eating congee from outside. As well as that, egg and pork are in the congee. How much does it cost?'

But in the end, the original owner had a well-laid foundation, so Mother Zhou didn't go too far and stopped talking. She took the cloth and cotton and went back.

As soon as she left, Lin Qing He was actually quietly relieved in her heart.

In fact, she was asked to deal with Mother Zhou like this, she really couldn't. But according to today's performance, it seems that Mother Zhou adapts well to her performance?

Oh, original owner, original owner! You can be considered doing a good deed.

Lin Qing He was very emotional. With such an extraordinary foundation, even if she acted out of character, it won't be excessive now.

In a good mood, she picked up Zhou San Wa and kissed him, causing Zhou San Wa to giggle.

Both Zhou Da Wa and Zhou Er Wa saw it, and they couldn't help staring at Lin Qing He. Lin Qing He kissed each of their foreheads.

Zhou Da Wa blushed and said, "I'm going out to play!" Then he ran out.

Zhou Er Wa was also a little embarrassed and ran out.

Lin Qing He didn't bother about them either. She divided a bowl of congee for Mother Zhou. There was almost one bowl left in the pot. Lin Qing He scooped it up and put it aside.

Then she cleaned up the tableware and boiled the water while she was at it to prepare for the kids to wash up when they come back.

Mother Zhou brought the cloth and cotton back.

Actually at this time was getting off work hour, but old Zhou Family members haven't returned yet. It wasn't five o'clock yet. Mother Zhou had been working for three days and couldn't keep going, so she rested today and not go work. Her family was large, so it didn't matter if she rested for half a day.

As for Third Sister-in-law, her pregnancy month was big, so she was responsible for cooking at home. Of course, Eldest Sister-in-law, whose pregnancy was small, also helped out. However Mother Zhou was resting today, so she was replaced by Mother Zhou. Otherwise, it was usually Eldest Sister-in-law and Third Sister-in-law was responsible at home.

Seeing the cloth and cotton brought back by Mother Zhou, Third Sister-in-law was envious. However, this can't be enviable. She looked at the cloth size and the amount of cotton, and she said with some joy in her heart: "Mother, Fourth sister-in-law request that Da Wa and his brothers each one set of clothes? And the rest is for me?"
