Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties
Chapter 128 - 127: Really Good

Chapter 128: Chapter 127: Really Good

Originally, Guo Laosan had gone to visit Auntie Zhao after picking up his things.

He learned from her that Lin Xia’s stepmother had brought several men to their house looking for them.

Upon hearing this, Auntie Zhao was angered, so she had Jiang Mingyuan inform Lin Xia and the others while he was in the city on business.

Lin Xia felt particularly embarrassed, "Big brother! Look! We’ve caused you trouble again! Did they damage anything at your aunt’s place? If anything is broken, I’ll pay for it!"

She thought that Qian Chunli and her people coming to their door must have intended to rough them up, possibly smashing doors or windows, and she couldn’t let big brother’s aunt bear these losses.

Jiang Mingyuan quickly waved his hand, "No! Xiaolin! They just hopped the fence into the yard to take a look around, no damage done!"

Lin Xia and her siblings all sighed in relief, "That’s good then!"

Jiang Mingyuan had just heard from Lin Qiu and his siblings about Lin Xia going out to sell goods, so he casually asked, "Xiaolin, are you out selling goods? How’s it going?"

"Yeah! It wasn’t so good at the beginning! I’ll try a few more factories!" Lin Xia was a bit disheartened, but she didn’t lose heart because she firmly believed that heaven won’t starve a lame sparrow, and all the more so when she was bright-eyed, hardworking, and able to endure hardship!

"It’ll get better slowly!" Jiang Mingyuan paused then said, "Xiaolin, you didn’t come to the city before, so I didn’t mention it.

In the city during summer, there’s an early morning market, I used to sell goods there, but now with the cold weather, it’s stopped and I haven’t been doing much recently, however, there are some quietly setting up stalls near Dora Road, you can try there too;

but be careful, the Trade and Industry Bureau together with the City Management Committee sometimes come down to crack down on speculation, if that happens, run away fast..." Jiang Mingyuan was quite open, telling Lin Xia everything he knew.

Lin Xia’s eyes shone as she looked at Jiang Mingyuan, her gratitude towards him rippled in her heart for a long time.

If it wasn’t for him telling her this, it would certainly take time to figure it out on her own.

"Thank you so much, big brother! You and Auntie Zhao are both my great benefactors!"

With this knowledge, her confusion and disappointment were immediately washed away, as if she saw a light shining ahead.

Seeing Lin Xia so happy, Jiang Mingyuan also smiled, "We don’t need to be so polite with each other!"

After Jiang Mingyuan left their home, Lin Dong went off to school.

While eating, Lin Qiu kept praising Jiang Mingyuan, "Sister! Big brother is such a good person! Auntie Zhao’s family is so nice too! I think we’re so lucky to have met them..."

Originally, they met because they were looking for a place to live, who would’ve thought they would get along so well and receive so much help from them.

While serving the food, Lin Xia smiled, "Yes! I feel the same! Ever since we moved out of that place, we’ve been meeting kind people! Actually, there are more good people than not, right?"

"That’s right! But sister, what can we give them in return? We can’t just not show our appreciation, can we?" Lin Qiu asked, feeling that they needed to reciprocate the kindness shown to them by Auntie Zhao’s family, which was far greater than a mere drop of water.

Lin Xia thought for a moment and suggested, "Xiaoqiu! How about we knit Auntie Zhao a sweater?"

Auntie Zhao had been really good to them, and the things they bought could be purchased with money, which seemed insincere. She thought it would be better to knit her a sweater, which she could wear for a long time.

Lin Qiu’s eyes lit up, fully supporting her sister’s suggestion, "Yes! Sister! If we start now, it will definitely be ready for the New Year! But we can’t get the size right, can we?"

She was quick at knitting sweaters! Especially now that she was home with not much to do, she could knit even faster.

Lin Xia, who could make cotton-padded jackets and trousers, was quite sensitive about sizes, especially since she often interacted with Auntie Zhao and was quite familiar with her build.

"I could probably guess! That’s not much of a problem! Besides, older folks like wearing loose and comfortable clothes, so let’s just knit bigger sizes!"

"Alright!" Lin Qiu added and then thought of Jiang Mingyuan, "Sis! What should we make for Second Brother? Knitting a sweater definitely isn’t suitable! He is, after all, a man!"

And because of Xu Haihua’s connection, Lin Qiu was pretty cautious about this.

Lin Xia cocked her head, thinking, "That’s a problem, so let’s buy the wool and start knitting for Granny Zhao first. As for Second Brother, we’ll figure something out for him later!"

For the moment, she couldn’t come up with a proper gift for Second Brother; even the pen they gave him before was forced upon him!

The sisters settled on their plan, and Lin Xia, always one to act quickly, went with Lin Qiu to the store to buy wool after lunch.

Considering Granny Zhao’s age, they thought she would like a bright color, so they bought some dark red wool.

Lin Xia and Lin Qiu, chatting and laughing with arms linked, came out of the store only to bump into someone unexpectedly at the entrance.

Yu Hongmei and Cao Jianbin had come together to shop, and they saw the sisters at the same time.

Yu Hongmei certainly hadn’t expected to encounter them here.

Her family had gone to see her eldest uncle yesterday and heard that Lin Xia and her family had moved, but nobody knew where. Yet today, she took a day off and happened to run into them while out shopping with Cao Jianbin.

She exclaimed in surprise, "Lin Xia! Lin Qiu! What are you two doing here?"

The incident of her eldest uncle being struck on the back of his head by Lin Qiang and resting at home was something they had only found out about yesterday.

If it hadn’t been for her mom running into Lin Yu and asking a few questions, they wouldn’t have known about it at all.

Then, just yesterday, her entire family had gone to visit her eldest uncle.

Her mom, feeling sorry for her eldest uncle, decided not to hold it against him anymore, leading to a reconciliation.

That’s when they heard about the fight Lin Xia had with their stepmother, and that they had moved.

Having already experienced Lin Xia’s knife attack, Yu Hongmei wasn’t surprised to hear about the clash with the stepmother.

She was just puzzled as to why Lin Xia had become so estranged, treating her relatives like strangers.

"Ah! Sister Hongmei! Brother Cao! We came to buy some wool! Are you guys also out for a stroll?" Lin Xia greeted them cordially.

Lin Qiu still smiled without speaking; she wasn’t used to making small talk with people, and the fact that they had bumped into Yu Hongmei made her nervous. She was worried their new address would be exposed and she dared not say anything.

Cao Jianbin smiled and nodded, "Yes! I was just thinking of buying something for your Sister Hongmei!"

He looked over Lin Xia a few extra times, curious. Although he didn’t have a strong impression of Lin Xia from before, he could tell her manner of speaking seemed like that of a different person.

Yu Hongmei wanted to talk to Lin Xia alone, "Jianbin! Could you wait for me inside? I have something to discuss with them."

Cao Jianbin nodded, understandingly smiling, "Sure! I’ll go in first then!"

He even said goodbye to the Lin sisters before leaving.

Once Cao Jianbin left, Yu Hongmei looked at Lin Xia, who seemed untroubled, and silently sighed before speaking, "Lin Xia! Yesterday Lin Qiang and his mom went looking for you at your old place... then when they got back, my eldest uncle got furious and hit them... Where are those two bicycles?"
