[Part 1] Back To The Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise The Cubs

Chapter 179

They never thought much before because they were all brothers. Now they knew. It wasn't because they were brothers. This was clearly Fourth's Ma's seed ah.

The relationship between Second Ma's wife and Wang Ling was also terrible. She spouted that she could not give birth to a son with Third Ma, so she ran to borrow from Fourth Ma and forcefully get a son.

The entire old Ma's house had been chaotic all last night.

"Then how did they handle it now?" Lin Qing He was stunned.

With such a big family crowded together these days, it goes without saying there will be friction, right? But to expose the family's ugliness like they can't wait to let all surrounding areas know, how deep was the hatred?

"I don't know how they dealt with it. Third Ma is now wondering whether his son is his or Fourth's Ma." Eldest Sister-in-law replied.

"And Wang Ling?" Lin Qing He asked.

Eldest Sister-in-law said: "She got picked up by her old Wang Family. She was beaten badly by Second Ma last night."

At this time, Second Sister-in-law came out of her room. Lin Qing He raised her eyebrows and said: "The weather is pretty cold now. Everyone just finished with the autumn harvest and is worried about nothing to pass the time. Never thought this would occur in the old Wang Family. Second Sister-in-law, did you heard about it?"

Second Sister-in-law displayed a touch of awkwardness across her face. Then she stated decisively: "I have cut off contact with Wang Ling."

"It's good to cut off contact, otherwise your reputation will get stinky." Lin Qing He emotionlessly said.

Second Sister-in-law didn't say anything and went in to prepare the meal after washing the grain.

Lin Qing He ignored her and turned to Eldest Sister-in-law: "I was issued a few cloth coupons this year, but my family doesn't have any use of them for now. Eldest Sister-in-law, do you want to exchange?"

Eldest Sister-in-law's eyes slightly brightened, said, "I want, I want." 

Zhou Da Ni was seventeen after the New Year, so she wanted to make new clothes.

The two sisters-in-law discussed the exchange price. Lin Qing He went back afterward.

Eldest Sister-in-law got Zhou Da Ni to bring the money and exchange for the few cloth coupons.

Mother Zhou had gone out to chat with little Su Xun in her hold.  When she got home, she didn't bring up Ma Family's affairs.

"On such cold weather, aren't you afraid of little Su Xun getting cold, Mother?." Lin Qing He said.

"It's fine. I wrapped him in a big cotton coat." Mother Zhou assured.

Little Su Xun was already asleep. Mother Zhou carried the little guy into the room and then came out to help peel the potatoes.

Lunch was stewed pork and potatoes with mantou. Lin Qing He also cooked a carrot soup.

In the afternoon, the snow fell quite hard. Everyone had the self-awareness to not go to school in this weather. Lin Qing He didn't have to go to school either.

On the kang, she told Zhou Qing Bai about old Ma Family's matter.

Such a big situation, Zhou Qing Bai naturally knew about it. He stated, "They'll separate the family after spring start."

"It's still distasteful even when they separate." Lin Qing He said.

It truly was distasteful, right? They had already committed adultery.

Zhou Qing Bai patted her on the back without speaking.

"Did anyone come here to catch them?" Lin Qing He asked.

At this time, they were quite strict about this kind of thing. If anyone dared to have an improper relationship between men and women, they will be pulled out for criticism.

"Old Ma Family suppressed it." Zhou Qing Bai replied.

"How do you suppress this kind of thing?" Lin Qing He frowned.

Zhou Qing Bai noticed that she wanted to know, so he went over old Ma Family's matter with her.

Old Ma Family resolved the matter on their own. They also released the announcement that Third Ma had a fever after his fourth daughter was born and became unable to do it.

But this branch can't go without a son, so old Ma elderly couple took the initiative to let Wang Ling go to borrow from unmarried Fourth Ma.

This incident wasn't stealing people. Both Ma elders knew about it. It was borrowing.

Lin Qing He found it disgusting.

This old Ma elderly couple actually make this up? It sounded so fake!

"This kind of matter isn't uncommon in the countryside," Zhou Qing Bai explained.

Because they can't give birth to a son, women will borrow from other men.

What's more, due to the countryside's desire and importance for a son, what Wang Ling did with Fourth really didn't count as adultery.
