63 -63: Really Nice People

After so much trouble to run into Jiang Mingyuan, and with the street conveniently empty, how could Lin Xia let him leave just like that?

She strode forward and slid the fountain pen directly into his coat pocket, “That won’t do!

You must accept this, second brother!”

“I can’t accept it!

Xiaolin!” Jiang Mingyuan tried to return the fountain pen with one hand, “Take it back for your brother to use!”

When he helped out at that time, it was just a hand lent, without any other intentions. frёewebnoѵēl.com

“My brother has one!” But Lin Xia didn’t give him the chance to return it, she quickly coordinated with Lin Qiu, and the two of them rode away on their bikes.

“Hey!

Xiaolin…

listen to me…” Jiang Mingyuan wanted to chase after them to give it back to Lin Xia, but looking at the time, he could only smile helplessly.

He thought to himself that Lin Xia was really interesting!

She handled things with such decisiveness and efficiency!

As Lin Qiu sat on the rear rack of the bike and watched Jiang Mingyuan getting farther away, she couldn’t help but snicker, “Sister, I think this second brother is really nice!

He has the same kind heart as Aunt Zhao!”

Lin Xia, riding in front, also laughed and looked back, “We were lucky to run into him when he seemed to be in a hurry, otherwise, you’ll see, he would definitely have chased us down to return it!”

“Yes!

He did seem to be in a hurry!” Lin Qiu also noticed.

“Anyway, now that it’s given away, we’ve returned the favor!” Lin Xia didn’t want to owe anyone anything.

Although she knew that a fountain pen was no big deal, it was her way of showing gratitude.

“Yes!” Lin Qiu thought for a moment, then cautiously whispered, “But, sister!

I feel like Xu Haihua is really concerned about second brother.

Have you noticed?”

That day, when her sister was brought back by second brother, Xu Haihua happened to be going home and saw.

Her expression at that moment, as if afraid second brother had hurt something, then she started to target them after.

“I’ve noticed too!

So let’s not tell Dongzi about giving the fountain pen to second brother,” Lin Xia cautioned.

She didn’t want an innocent thank-you gift to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

In fact, when she was choosing something for second brother, it had taken her a long while to decide to buy the fountain pen.

Anything else would have been even more inappropriate to give.

But if she gave nothing at all, she felt as though she owed a huge debt of gratitude.

Money is easy to repay, but these debts of gratitude are the hardest.

“Okay!

I got it!” Lin Qiu also understood the intricacies involved, so she quickly agreed.

After Lin Xia arrived home, Aunt Xu came out of the house and saw Lin Xia carrying a big bag, asked curiously, “Lin Xia!

Where did you tote that big bag back from?”

She didn’t know that the conversation they had had that morning had been fully overheard by Lin Qiu.

So their casual talk was no different from usual.

“The provincial capital!” Lin Xia responded indifferently.

She wasn’t a saint; on the contrary, she was very much of this world, so she found Aunt Xu’s fervent demeanor quite tedious.

“You went to the provincial capital?

No wonder you were gone for two days!” Aunt Xu kept her eyes on the big bag in Lin Xia’s hands.

Seeing that Lin Xia offered no response and simply took the bag into the Western House, she pursed her lips and went into the Eastern House.

Lin Qiu followed Lin Xia obediently, confused about how to behave after eavesdropping on Aunt Xu’s true intentions, and thus chose to keep quiet.

Once inside and with the door securely closed, Lin Xia began to take out food from the bag for Lin Qiu.

There were limited choices available to buy, so she had purchased some canned fish, canned meat, bread, and some candy and such.

Lin Qiu happily examined each item, then couldn’t bear to eat any.

“Save these for Dongzi when he gets back!” After thinking, she separated a portion, “These are for our older brother; we should put them away or Dongzi will get envious!”

Lin Xia watched Lin Qiu hustling about with a smile and a look of laughter on her young face, thinking that as long as she was around, she wouldn’t let her younger brother and sister suffer.

After eating, Lin Xia took a nap and then set out to sell her goods.

This time she headed to Chopsticks Factory No.

2, where she had sold out the previous evening and there were still some who wanted to buy.

In the brief time when the workers went out for lunch, Lin Xia sold quite a few scarves and hair clips, and she even tried selling ten hairbands with polka dots or stripes, all of which were sold out.

This gave Lin Xia an idea, it seemed that it was indeed easier to make money off young women and wives;

when she had the money in the future, she would open a shop specializing in women’s clothing and accessories, and she was certain the business would be good.

But for now, that was definitely out of the question!

She still had to work hard to earn and save money!

When Lin Xia got home, the door to the Eastern House was open, and Xu Damei was scrubbing dishes by the stove.

Lin Xia greeted her and went into the Western House because she still felt somewhat uncomfortable knowing what the two of them had been gossiping about behind her back.

“Sister!

You’re back!

Wash your hands and come eat!” Lin Qiu quickly got up to serve the meal from the kitchen.

Lin Dong smiled at Lin Xia, he hadn’t seen his eldest sister when he came back from school the night before, and it was only now that he got to see her.

He asked quietly, “Sis!

Why did you bring us back so much good food?”

Lin Xia teased him, “You didn’t finish it all, did you?”

Lin Dong said in a wronged tone, “How could I?

When I got back from school and saw the tasty food at home, Second Sister said you brought it from the provincial city.

I resisted eating it, waiting to enjoy it with you when you came back.”

Lin Xia laughed and rubbed his head, “I’m just teasing you!”

Lin Dong felt helpless; he was already so big, yet his eldest sister still treated him like a child.

“Sis!

How did the selling go?”

“Pretty well!

We’ll talk about it in a bit!” Lin Xia winked at him and put down her bag to wash her hands.

Just then she saw Xu Damei wiping her hands and leaving the house; Lin Xia didn’t pay it much attention.

While she was bending down to wash her hands, Xu Haihua came out from the Eastern House and leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, looking at Lin Xia and asking,

“Xiaolin, what did you go to the provincial city for?

You didn’t stay at home the night before last and last night!”

Lin Xia paused in her soap rubbing and responded coldly, “Some business!”

In the past, she might have shared a little, but now she didn’t feel like telling them anything!

Xu Haihua covered her mouth and chuckled, “Some business?

You see, it’s been a while since you moved in, and I’ve never seen you go to work.

“Xiaolin, do you actually have a job or not, what exactly do you do?

Staying out for two nights in a row, you aren’t up to no good, are you?

Tricking me and my mom, huh!”

Lin Xia stood up and wiped her hands, her face cold as she looked at Xu Haihua, “What does it matter to you whether or not I have a job?

Is it any of your business if I don’t come home at night?

We rent a house from you, have we ever been short on rent?”

Was Xu Haihua implying she was some sort of lowlife?

How much more could they disrespect her?

Even if the room were given to her for free, she wouldn’t stay!

Who behaves like this?

Xu Haihua didn’t expect Lin Xia to talk to her that way, and pointing at Lin Xia, she grew angry, “What kind of attitude is that?”

She initially only wanted to take out her frustration about Jiang Mingyuan on Lin Xia with a few snide remarks, but she didn’t expect Lin Xia to be even more assertive.
