Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties
Chapter 148 - 147 New Year

Chapter 148: Chapter 147 New Year

Mrs. Zhao sat down and chatted with Lin Xia and the others for a while before she brought it up, "Xiaolin! Your dad and your stepmom actually went to our neighborhood yesterday;

They went to the Xu Family’s house and knocked on the door, and somehow, they ended up getting beaten up by Xu’s son!

I guess they couldn’t find you guys, so they were wandering around trying to catch a glimpse of you... Don’t go back there easily in the future..."

Her family only heard about it afterward, at first they just thought it sounded like a fierce argument in the front yard, as if someone was fighting.

Later, her old man went out to see what was happening and only then did he find out it involved people from Xiaolin’s family.

So she thought it was a good time to bring them some food today and let them know, so they too would understand not to go back easily.

That Xu’s son has always loved to fight since he was a kid, he could definitely handle those people.

If Xiaolin’s family encountered him, they certainly wouldn’t stand a chance, her second son even learned this the last time he brought a sweater over.

Lin Xia and the others were shocked, they really hadn’t expected such a thing.

But no one asked what Lin Aiguo and his group looked like after the beating, out of concern or anything.

"Then, Mrs. Zhao, you and your second brother better be careful in the future!" Lin Xia worried that they would go again, Could Lin Aiguo and Lin Qiang just let it go? It seemed unlikely!

What if Lin Qiang found their house and retaliated?

Mrs. Zhao, chuckling, patted Lin Xia’s hand, "Don’t worry! We are all fine! There are so many of us at home!" If something really happened, her second son was no worse in fighting skills than Xu Haimin!

But she didn’t want to talk about these things in front of Lin Xia, no matter what, he was still her biological father.

"Xiaolin, make sure you guys have a nice celebration together this New Year!"

Lin Xia was still worried, but seeing that Mrs. Zhao deliberately changed the topic, she just went along, "Don’t worry, Mrs. Zhao! I’ve prepared plenty of good food!"

Lin Dong chimed in, "Yes, Mrs. Zhao! My elder sister is even planning to make us braised pork!"

Mrs. Zhao clapped her hands with a smile, "Right, Xiaolin! Sister Xiaoqing had your braised pork here once, and when she went back, she made me and your sister-in-law try to cook it, but ours didn’t turn out tasty! Quick, tell Mrs. Zhao how to make it..."

Lin Xia briefly explained how it was made and then tried to invite them to eat here, planning to make extra to take back to Jiang Mingqing.

Mrs. Zhao disagreed, "Another time when there’s a chance! It’s not that I don’t want to, Mrs. Zhao, but with the New Year almost here, there’s so much to do at home!" She couldn’t possibly stay for dinner.

The second brother, who had been sitting on the stool, smiling and listening to their conversation, then spoke up, "Xiaolin! Some other day when we are free, I’ll bring my mom along again!"

After Mrs. Zhao and her second brother left, Lin Xia and the others, having seen them off, couldn’t believe the conversation.

Lin Qiu uncertainly asked, "Sis, did I hear that wrong, Xu Haihua’s brother beat them up?"

She was a bit confused as to why Xu Haihua’s brother would hit them!

Lin Xia nodded, "Probably! Didn’t we hear about it when we were renting our house? Xu Haihua has two brothers who work out of town, it must have been one of them who came back!"

She thought, how should Lin Aiguo’s beating be described? The biter bit?

"Elder Sister! No matter what the reason, it really felt good hearing about it!" Lin Qiang could fight him, Lin Aiguo was his biological father, and he wouldn’t easily raise his hand against him!

Now that someone else had done it for them, Lin Dong felt thrilled.

"Yes! We kind of basked in Xu Haihua’s glory this time!" Lin Xia didn’t know quite how to describe her feelings, it seemed Lin Aiguo’s family wouldn’t have a good New Year.

In another part of Lin Aiguo’s house, he lay on the kang, groaning.

He was about to suffocate from frustration! He intermittently punched the bed to vent his anger.

At that moment, Lin Aijia suddenly arrived; she disregarded Qian Chunli and Lin Yu, who were working in the kitchen, and walked straight into the Eastern House.

Seeing Lin Aiguo lying on the bed, she asked, "Big brother! What’s going on? Why are you still lying in bed?"

Lin Aiguo didn’t want to admit to her that he had been beaten up and was lying in bed to recover from his injuries.

"Nothing much, why not lie down! What brings you here?"

Lin Aijia pouted, this was just how her big brother talked, and she was used to it, "I came to ask when you guys are planning to go to the valley for the New Year this year?"

Her husband, Yu Changbai’s parents had died a few years ago, so for the past few years, she had always spent the New Year’s Eve in the valley, and then on the second day, they would visit Yu Changbai’s eldest brother’s house.

"Haven’t thought about it yet! We’ll leave home in the morning on the 30th! It’s freezing cold, too early to start traveling as it would be bitterly cold to ride there!"

Actually, Lin Aiguo didn’t even want to go, but as the eldest son and his mother being there, usually it didn’t matter, but during New Year’s he certainly had to go up there.

"Alright! I’ll go back home and start packing! When you guys pass by my house, give me a shout!" Lin Aijia got up and left as her purpose was to ask when they would be leaving, and also she hoped to see if Lin Xia and the others had returned yet.

As soon as she entered the house, she figured out what was going on, so she didn’t even ask to avoid upsetting anyone.

She thought to herself that her big brother was going to have a tough New Year! With the situation like this, going to the valley, her brother’s family would definitely find a way to mention something on purpose.

She didn’t realize that Lin Aiguo had been beaten up.

Lin Aiguo was also not in the mood to keep her for a conversation, as he was feeling upset and distressed at the moment.

On the Eve of the New Year, Lin Xia and the two spent their first New Year outside together.

No matter what others did, the three of them had a great time on their own, preparing lots of food and drinks.

Once they finished eating and cleaned up, none of them brought up the topic about Lin Chun to avoid feeling melancholic, and the three siblings gathered on the bed to play cards.

When it hit midnight, Lin Xia asked each of them to share their plans for the new year.

Lin Dong couldn’t wait to speak, "Big sister! I’ll go first! I will study hard during the remaining time and aim to get into No. 1 Middle School!"

Lin Xia couldn’t help but laugh, "Having great ambitions is good, but even if you don’t get into No. 1 Middle School and end up in No. 8 Middle School, sister will still be happy!"

Lin Dong wailed, "Big sister! Can’t you have a little faith in your brother? I almost got discouraged!"

Lin Xia and Lin Qiu laughed together.

"...Sorry, big sister was wrong! I have faith in my brother! Always have!"

Lin Xia then asked Lin Qiu, "Xiaoqiu, how about you?"

Lin Qiu smiled shyly, "I want to diligently learn the craft from my master and strive to become a qualified worker next year so I can earn more money!" She was really eager to start earning money to help the family sooner.

Lin Xia understood what her sister was thinking and nodded with a smile.

Both Lin Qiu and Lin Dong asked, "Sister, how about you? You haven’t told us yours yet!"

"I’ll work hard to earn and save money, and when the big greenhouse is up, I’ll rent a stall space!" That was Lin Xia’s most desired goal at the moment.

The New Year passed quickly, and before they knew it, the fifteenth had arrived.

At the start of the school term, Lin Dong received another letter from Lin Chun.
