Chapter 108: Chapter 107: What Are You Daydreaming About?

Zhao Dania was particularly fond of Lin Xia, smiling as she patted her hand, "Xiaolin! No need to thank me. It’s good enough that you understand my intentions."

After speaking, she stood up, "Alright, you all must be tired too, rest well. I’ll come over another day, and remember, there’s no hurdle in life that can’t be overcome! The good days are yet to come!"

She knew that these kids had just returned from the graveyard, crying like this, they must be feeling awful inside, she thought mournfully, such suffering for children without a mother!

"Don’t go, Zhao Dania! Let me show you some of my cooking skills, stay for dinner then leave!" Lin Xia insisted, holding on to her, not letting her go.

Zhao Dania chuckled as she refused, "What would I eat? I’ve already eaten before coming. You all take care, if anything comes up, just come over to my place!"

In the end, Lin Xia and her siblings escorted her to the front gate and watched her car disappear before they entered the house.

Liu Shuqin went to Lin Dong’s school several times but failed to catch a glimpse of him.

She ran into Haizi, who used to play with Lin Dong when they were younger, and grabbed him to ask, "Why hasn’t Lin Dong come to school yet?"

Haizi looked warily at the old lady, "I don’t know! I think he took some leave for some reason!"

Only he knew about Lin Dong’s transfer, but he definitely couldn’t tell this old lady in front of him.

Liu Shuqin was somewhat skeptical, "But why so many days off?"

She had come down from the countryside and stayed for five or six days without seeing Lin Dong at school.

"How would I know!" Haizi shook off her hand and walked away directly.

He thought bitterly, if it weren’t for Dongzi’s family forcing him into trouble, the two buddies wouldn’t need to separate.

Previously, to avoid Lin Qiang’s tracking, the two of them went to a classmate’s house to do homework together, and the three had a great time.

Now, left on his own, he didn’t want to do his homework at someone else’s house, so he had to go back to his own home.

Liu Shuqin had no choice, so she went to see the teachers again, who gave her the same explanation: Lin Dong had taken a long leave, and they didn’t know when he would return to school.

Lin Dong’s sister had already explained their family situation to her and the principal. She had been Lin Dong’s teacher for over two years and was somewhat familiar with his family circumstances.

Therefore, out of sympathy, she was willing to help them maintain this lie so that Lin Dong wouldn’t fall behind in school, especially since Lin Dong’s sister had bought a gift for her child.

Liu Shuqin returned to her daughter’s home disappointed. After having dinner in the evening, she finally waited for Lin Aiguo, who had returned from the mountains.

Lin Aiguo had just come back home from the mountains when he heard from Qian Chunli, who was cooking, that her mother-in-law had come down from the countryside and stayed at Lin Aijia’s for several days.

He washed his hands and, without even eating, came straight here.

Seeing her eldest son had arrived, Liu Shuqin was delighted and quickly asked, "Eldest, have you eaten?"

Lin Aiguo sat on the kang edge, "No! I just got home and heard you were here, so I came straight over! Mom, what are you doing down here?"

"Let’s talk about it just us later!" Liu Shuqin had things she could discuss with her daughter, but it wasn’t convenient in front of her son-in-law.

Yu Changbai and Yu Hongli sensed what was going on and found an excuse to visit a neighbor’s house.

Watching the two of them leave the room, Liu Shuqin quickly ordered Lin Aijia, "Aijia! Hurry and bring the food back up, and fry an egg for your big brother and heat up some wine!"

Yu Hongmei couldn’t stand her grandma’s favoritism towards males over females!

Besides, she had grievances against her uncle, so she went back to her own room to avoid the irritation.

Lin Aijia couldn’t hide; she felt uneasy too, but she had to endure it.

"Fine! Then you two just chat away!"

Lin Aijia then put the Kang table back in place, busily shuttling back and forth, serving food, and handing out bowls and chopsticks.

As Lin Aiguo took a bite, he asked, "Mom! Speak up! What’s the matter?"

He knew his mom wouldn’t come without a reason; there must be something important.

Liu Shuqin gave him a cold glare, "You have the nerve to ask me what’s the matter! Such a big event happens in your household, and you don’t even inform me! If I had come down earlier to keep an eye on everything, would they have still made such a mess?"

She firmly believed that if she had been there, those kids wouldn’t have been able to cause such trouble, nor would that widow and her daughters have been able to run wild to such an extent.

When Lin Aiguo heard his mom had come and stayed for several days, he immediately realized she must have learned about Lin Chun and the others moving out;

However, no one knew about Lin Xia brandishing a knife except Yu Hongmei, who was there at the time; she might have told Lin Aijia about it when she got home;

But he figured they would have the sense not to discuss that topic with the old lady.

After all, it was utterly embarrassing! He, a father, had been scared off by someone wielding a knife.

"Why bring that up now! Mom, weren’t you watching kids for Lin Gang down at the ditch? Got tired of it now?"

Lin Aiguo spoke his mind; originally, his mom left with Qian Chunli in a disgrace, and now she had come back because of the trouble caused by Lin Xia and the others, which surely meant more chaos at home!

Liu Shuqin, looking sheepish, said, "My son! How can you still talk like that? I’m just concerned about you!"

Lin Aiguo waved his hand, "Alright! Mom! I appreciate your concern! But you better stay down at the ditch. You said you’d come up to my place but I hardly ever come back home, and if you all start quarreling, it would be bad for your health at your age!"

He was firmly opposed to letting his elderly mother come back; she had her chance to help when she wasn’t around, doing chores and taking care of kids for his younger brother’s family;

Now that she was older, she might need someone to take care of her at any moment, coming back to his place was out of the question!

Besides, Qian Chunli was after all a wife he married later, and it was unlikely she would take care of her. The deceased Yu Wanhua would have dutifully taken on any task.

Just thinking of Yu Wanhua made Lin Aiguo frown deeply.

Liu Shuqin, who knew her son very well, suppressed her discomfort and changed the subject, "My son! You don’t say anything and no one gives me any news!

If Lin Fang hadn’t seen Lin Xia selling things at the factory door the other day and learned that she had quit her job at the factory, we’d still be in the dark!

When I heard that, I felt something was off, so I came down right away to see if you were alright!

Aijia has learned from me too! What are all these troubles! It’s all because that woman didn’t teach them well, now they’re not heading down a good path..."

Lin Aiguo put down his chopsticks; he couldn’t eat anymore, being too full of anger.

"Why bother with all that! Mom! Just tell me why you came down?"

Liu Shuqin pursed her lips, "Isn’t it just to ask about your brother’s situation? Since Lin Xia quit her job at the factory, could Lin Fang take her place using her name?"

Lin Aiguo glared at his mom with a not-so-happy look, "What fantasies are they indulging in now? Originally, I paid to secure that job, and now they want to take over without paying anything? Tell them no way!"

That younger brother of his always looked to take advantage whenever he could.

Liu Shuqin didn’t believe there was anything wrong with what her second son and his family had proposed, "Look at what you’re saying! Since Lin Xia left, wouldn’t that job go to waste? If Lin Fang could take over her spot, wouldn’t they be grateful to you for it? After all, you’re still her biological uncle!"
