Chapter 152: Chapter 151: Come with Me
Lin Xia smiled and pointed at herself, "Me? I’m still making money by dealing with goods! But now I don’t need to pick up the supplies myself, since Big Brother Two does it and brings them to me along the way. It’s really fortunate for us to know people like Zhao Danye and his family!"
"Big Brother, you have no idea! We were in such a rush to move, if it weren’t for Zhao Danye and Jiang Daye from the motor transport team who arranged the truck and helped Big Brother Two, we wouldn’t have been able to move so smoothly..."
As for the matter of Qian Chunli taking people later to that house to settle accounts, she didn’t want to go into details with Lin Chun, as talking too much would cause him to worry and fret.
Lin Chun smiled, "Xiaoxia! I think Big Brother Two is really great! Xiaoqiu mentioned him in the letter to me, said he helped you a lot! Dongzi’s letter also talked about him, do you have any thoughts about him?"
Lin Xia was amused by Lin Chun’s question, "Big Brother! You’re really funny! Big Brother Two and I are just good friends with a good relationship! It’s not what you’re thinking!"
She truly regarded Big Brother Two as her own brother. If Lin Chun was Big Brother, then Big Brother Two was Old Second, and she had never had any other kind of thoughts about him.
Besides, she was well aware of her own situation. How could she be a match for Big Brother Two? She couldn’t compare to him in terms of family background or ability.
Moreover, due to the influence of having a family like Lin Aiguo, she didn’t want to find a partner or marry in the future. As long as she could ensure her brothers and sister were all well taken care of, she would consider her duty fulfilled.
Lin Chun frowned, "Xiaoxia! Big Brother doesn’t want you to abandon all romantic ideas because of our family’s influence.
You’ll be twenty after the New Year, right? If you meet someone suitable, you should consider looking for a spouse."
Lin Chun was still lying in the hospital bed, so of course, Lin Xia wouldn’t stubbornly insist on this topic and upset him.
She humored him with a half-hearted promise, "Definitely! Big Brother! It’s just that I haven’t met the right person yet! Do you think that if I meet someone suitable I wouldn’t consider it? After all, a woman needs to find a good place to settle down eventually!"
She made her comments imitating Lin Chun’s usual tone of voice, instantly cheering him up, "Xiaoxia! If you can think that way, that’s great! If there’s nobody suitable in our own circle, once I’m better and back at work, I’ll take a look around for you!
You don’t know this! The three letters you came with are known throughout my workshop now. Those who saw our group photo, and those who’ve seen you and Xiaoqiu, some cheeky young men were joking about becoming my brothers-in-law!"
Lin Xia was first taken aback, then laughed heartily, "Really? That happened?"
Lin Chun also laughed, but he was careful to hold his mouth to avoid hurting his wound, "That’s right! Actually, some of them are quite down-to-earth and hardworking, they’ll definitely treat their wives well in the future!
Actually, Big Brother has also thought about it, when you’re of an appropriate age and you meet someone suitable, I can introduce him to you."
Seeing Lin Chun take the matter seriously, Lin Xia hurriedly said, "Let’s talk about this later, Big Brother! I’ve just turned twenty! What’s the rush? As you know, Dongzi hasn’t started university yet, Xiaoqiu is still an apprentice, and I have a bunch of things to deal with!"
"That’s true! You’re the one who has to work hard because of all these matters! Xiaoxia! Big Brother is so useless, making a young girl like you provide for the family!"
Seeing Lin Chun’s mood change again, Lin Xia quickly changed the subject, "Big Brother! What are you talking about? Even without them, I would still need to eat, drink, and make money. Besides, once you start doing well at work, we can all follow you, and that would settle everything! We’re waiting for you to support us!"
Lin Chun thought about it and decided not to dwell on it any further.
After talking for so long, the siblings were truly tired, especially since Lin Chun’s body was still weak.
Lin Xia urged him, "Big Brother! You should close your eyes and rest for a while! We can talk more later, I’ll go out and have a look!" Anyway, she would stay with him the whole time.
She decided to go outside and do some shopping to see what was available.
If the hospital stay was going to be long, there would be quite a lot of things she needed to buy.
Lin Xia went out and bought some food, fed Lin Chun some rice soup, and afterward, Lin Chun, probably tired, fell asleep.
Lin Xia tidied up, looked at the hospital room with the other empty bed, and laid down with her clothes on.
She intended to send a telegram to Lin Dong and the others the next day, telling them not to worry because Big Brother was okay, otherwise they certainly wouldn’t be able to sleep well.
Like this, Lin Xia took care of Lin Chun in the hospital for five or six days.
That day, Lu Zheng came again.
This time, when he arrived, he was holding fresh fruit in his hand.
Lin Chun was now able to get out of bed to use the bathroom, and when Lu Zheng arrived, Lin Xia had just helped Lin Chun back from the restroom.
Lin Chun hurriedly greeted him with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Lu!"
Lu Zheng asked, "Hmm! Lin Chun! How are you?"
"Much better!" Lin Chun, supported by Lin Xia, sat down on the hospital bed and slowly lay back down.
Lu Zheng looked at Lin Xia, who had slimmed down a bit after not seeing her for several days, a slight flicker in his eyes.
The three of them chatted for a while, and then Lu Zheng was ready to leave.
It was Lin Xia who walked him to the door again, but this time he suddenly asked her to go out for a walk with him.
Lin Xia looked up at him in surprise, not understanding what he meant.
But considering her older brother had just used the bathroom and had also finished his injections for the day, he likely wouldn’t need anything for the time being, she followed Lu Zheng out of the hospital.
When she saw him continuing to walk outside, Lin Xia stopped, "Um... Mr. Lu! Where are you taking me?"
Although she knew he was a good person with a good character, she felt somewhat uneasy about being led away just like that.
Lu Zheng looked at her, amused by her wary and cautious demeanor, "I’m not a bad person!"
"I know you’re not a bad person! But where are you taking me?" This was an unfamiliar place to her.
"You’ll know when we get there! Come with me," Lu Zheng waited for her.
"Alright then!" Lin Xia was actually a bit curious, sensing his goodwill.
Seeing her following with small steps, Lu Zheng deliberately slowed his pace to lead her.
The place he took her to was not far from there, a state-owned restaurant.
At the entrance, Lin Xia understood what he meant.
"Mr. Lu! I have already eaten!"
In fact, if she wanted to build a good relationship to have him look after her brother in the future, she would have to invite him to a meal;
however, the money in her pocket had dwindled to just over ninety these past few days, and the future was uncertain, so she didn’t dare spend it all, nor be caught unprepared.
Moreover, she realized that even if she were to invite him, a man as assertive as he would probably not let her pay.
Lu Zheng invited her, "Let’s go! I haven’t eaten!"
"Then you go ahead and eat, Mr. Lu! I’ll head back to the hospital! What if my brother needs someone and there’s no one by his side?" Lin Xia absolutely did not want to follow him inside.
Lu Zheng insisted, "Actually, I wanted to order a couple of dishes for your brother, but I don’t know his tastes!
Also, I’m not sure what would be suitable for him to eat given his current condition. Besides, I bear some responsibility for this accident, so doing this much is only right!"
He seemed to rarely speak so much to someone of the opposite sex, but at this moment, his words came out smoothly and naturally.
