Chapter 101: Chapter 100 Horses Never Stop

Lin Qiu pursed her lips, "She’s probably just jealous that I went to the tailoring department, then says things like it’s different because of some backdoor shenanigans..."

Facing so many people at that time, she truly felt ashamed and angry, but she also retorted with some harsh words.

"Don’t mind her, I’m telling you, she’s just crazy! I haven’t even told you about what happened that day when I was delivering buns to Auntie Zhao. I ran into her as soon as I left Auntie Zhao’s house.

She asked me why I was still going to Paradise Street after moving away and questioned if I had been at my second brother’s.!

Later, I didn’t want to deal with her, but then she actually tried to hit me with her car!"

Lin Qiu exclaimed, "She really is sick! Did you get hurt, sis?"

"Not a scratch! If something had happened, I definitely would have told you all! And you’ll never guess what she said afterward!" Lin Xia now looks back on it and finds it laughable.

Talking about these things seemed to quell the anger that had been brewing in her.

"What did she say?" All three siblings, Lin Chun, stared at Lin Xia curiously.

"She said a thief had gotten into her house, and she was sure it was one of us. She even said my second brother wouldn’t like me..."

"What goes on in her head? Does she have any evidence it was us?"

"It’s her who likes the second brother!"

The siblings collectively denounced Xu Haihua and concluded that it was good they had moved out, otherwise who knows what might have happened...

In the following days, Lin Xia started the process of transferring Lin Dong to a new school.

Lin Xia didn’t know anyone and purely with her audacious and entrepreneurial spirit, she worked tirelessly, approached schools and leaders until she finally managed to transfer Lin Dong to Second Middle School.

Though gifts had cost some money, the teaching quality at Second Middle School was undeniably better than the middle school near their home.

After settling Lin Dong into the new school and taking care of his living supplies, she gave him five yuan, reminding him, "Dongzi! Keep this money safe, don’t skimp out at the cafeteria, you’re at the age to grow... when the holidays come, go back home, I’ll improve your meals then..."

Lin Dong didn’t want to take so much, knowing his sister had spent a lot on the school transfer and that she no longer worked at her old job, leaving them uncertain about the future and their financial needs at home.

"Sis! You don’t need to give me this much, two yuan is enough! Eating at the cafeteria isn’t expensive, I will definitely eat well! And you all don’t need to worry about me, I’m old enough now..."

The siblings exchanged words of mutual comfort, but in the end, Lin Xia still left him the full five yuan.

"Listen to your eldest sister! Take it! Dongzi! Don’t you ever think that just because your eldest sister left her job, she can’t make money anymore, getting all anxious..."

Feeling embarrassed, Lin Dong scratched the back of his head and honestly admitted, "I was indeed a bit worried!"

Lin Xia laughed and tousled his hair, "Silly kid! Have you forgotten how your sister makes money? I didn’t even want to go to that class anymore; I went just to mark attendance due to various reasons;

Now isn’t it better that I legitimately don’t have to go? I can make a month’s salary in just a few days by trading things, why would I bother working hard in a workshop?"

Leaving her job did not greatly affect Lin Xia; this situation gave her more time to invest in her trade.

Lin Dong, thinking back to the times he helped his sister with money and making deals, knew very well the money came quickly, but he still couldn’t help saying, "Sis! The back-and-forth trips to stock up goods on the train must be hard... And with the cold weather, selling stuff must be suffering too..."

Lin Xia patted his shoulder, "That bit of hardship is nothing! Dongzi! Just ease your mind, focus on your studies, it’s okay if you can’t keep up with others’ pace for now,

"During winter break, let’s see who we can find to tutor you and help you catch up on your lessons. In the new environment, don’t be nervous, just interact with people openly and confidently..."

She had purchased new clothes for Lin Dong, inside and out, and had prepared everything he needed to wear and use. She just hoped that once Lin Dong arrived in the new environment, he would not be timid or feel inferior but would stand tall with confidence!

Lin Dong nodded vigorously, his eyes moist, "Big sister! Don’t you worry! In the new environment, nobody will know what kind of family I come from, I’ll definitely be more confident than in my old class!"

In his previous class, his classmates all knew what each others’ families were like, so they also knew about his situation. Except for Haizi who was close to him, some classmates would look down on him. As a result, he had often faced scorn and ostracism, but he had never mentioned any of this to his brothers and sisters at home.

"Good! Take good care of yourself, and come back home when vacation starts..." Lin Xia waved goodbye to Lin Dong for the last time. As she walked out of the school, she knew in her heart that her brother wasn’t like Lin Aiguo; he wouldn’t be bullied and could handle interpersonal relationships well, but she still felt a warmth in her eyes and unease in her heart.

Wiping her moist eyes, Lin Xia got on the bus and comforted herself, thinking that now that her brother had transferred schools, and she had explained the situation to his old school’s teachers and the principal, even if Lin Aiguo went to the school to look for him, he wouldn’t be able to find out where Lin Dong had transferred to.

Previously, she had planned to wait until Lin Dong was admitted to a city high school, and then they would all move to the city to live. Now, by having Lin Dong adapt a bit earlier, there was nothing bad about it.

On the way back, Lin Xia pondered over her next steps.

Transferring Lin Dong’s school and buying things had cost her some money.

Lin Aiguo had passed his physical exam for registration, and he would need to carry some money with him when he left.

After all, in the beginning, he would be an apprentice in a large factory away from home, and the wages he would receive after a month wouldn’t be much. During this time, there would be many expenses such as setting things up that would require money.

Money was needed everywhere, and the amount she had was limited, so she needed to start earning money immediately.

She was ready to return to her old ways; in order to give her siblings a better life and a brighter future, she was willing to endure even if it meant hard work.

After returning home, Lin Xia briefly informed Lin Chun and Lin Qiu, then immediately began packing again to head to the provincial capital.

Even though Lin Chun and Lin Qiu were worried for her, they understood that she was the only one in the house capable of earning cash at the moment.

On the train, Lin Xia sat in her seat, pondering the route she would take after getting off and what she would bring back to sell.

This trip to the provincial city was not only to see if the nut seller’s family still wanted hazelnuts, but she also planned to sell the last big Lingzhi mushroom in Jade’s room to Shao Meifang.

Although somewhat reluctant to part with it—she had originally thought of keeping it for their own future use—the situation was now different, so she had no hesitations.

After all, she would need to go up the mountain to collect hazelnuts next year, and maybe she would find more then.

She would reduce the number of hair clips and hair bands since women wore thick hats in winter, and these items would sell less.

Before New Year’s, there might be a chance to sell more, as people would want to dress up beautifully for visiting and spending time with relatives during New Year’s.

She decided to wait until she saw the right items before making a decision.

Thus, accompanied by the clattering sounds of the train, Lin Xia endured a night’s journey and disembarked.

To avoid the previous situation where she couldn’t get a seat, she had bought the return ticket in advance.

Then, Lin Xia headed straight for the nut seller’s home.

This time, it was the nut seller’s husband who opened the door. He was surprised to see Lin Xia, as she had previously mentioned that it was very unlikely that she would come back.
