Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties
Chapter 323 - 322: Big Changes

Chapter 323: Chapter 322: Big Changes

Lin Xia rubbed her eyes and shook her head, "I can’t eat it! You go ahead!" Just looking at it made her teeth feel cold.

Lin Dong grimaced still persistently nibbling on it.

"Big sister! Let’s move the TV to the living room?"

"Sure! You and big brother can fuss with it later!" Lin Xia had no objections; she had thought about moving it to the living room before, but in winter when they were busy, the stove couldn’t be kept burning all the time. Thus, after coming home in the evenings, watching TV in the living room was too cold, so they still kept the TV in the Eastern House;

Now that big brother was back, they could keep the house heated without worrying about it getting cold.

The two of them got to it right away—put down the pear cores, washed their hands, then started to shift the cabinet and move the TV.

While they were busy, the sound of a car was heard at the door, it turned out that Jiang Mingyuan had suddenly come home.

Ever since he had opened a big restaurant, his wallet had fattened and he somehow got hold of a Jeep.

Going anywhere now, he drove a car, which was quite stylish.

Lin Xia smiled and greeted Jiang Mingyuan as he entered, "Second brother is here!"

"Yeah! When did Lin Chun come back?" Jiang Mingyuan saw Lin Chun and greeted him cheerily, "We haven’t seen each other for two years! You’ve changed a lot!"

"Yes! You’ve changed a lot too!" Lin Chun pointed at Jiang Mingyuan and smiled, he had always had a good impression of him, and even thought he and his elder sister were well matched.

But between people, no one can really say what fate holds.

Whether elder sister and Lu Zheng would end up married, no one knew, but her connection with Jiang Mingyuan was definitely over; they could only be good friends.

Everyone sat down to catch up for a while, asked about each other’s recent lives, then Jiang Mingyuan finally stated his purpose for the visit.

He had come home to deliver Lin Xia’s profit share.

"Lin Xia! It’s almost New Year’s Eve, and although our restaurant has only been open a few months, business is booming, and the profit is pretty good!

So today I brought your share over! To help you have a prosperous year!"

Since opening the restaurant, he had been busy, and no longer had the opportunity to come to Lin Xia’s house for meals every day like before when he worked in the greenhouse.

His visit today was also to see Lin Xia.

"Second brother! We’ve only been open a short while! I’ve made quite a bit of money before the New Year too, so I’m not in a rush for my share!" Lin Xia didn’t want to take it; she knew that second brother’s restaurant was just starting up and there certainly were many places where money needed to be invested.

Jiang Mingyuan laughed heartily, "You’re not in a hurry but I am! Haven’t we agreed on sharing the profits now? You can’t let me be a man who doesn’t keep his word!"

Seeing there was no escape, Lin Xia reluctantly agreed, "Alright then! It’s just in time as my big brother came back, and now we can really splurge and spend a lot!"

"This should be enough for you to spend!" Jiang Mingyuan took a brown kraft paper bag out of his black leather briefcase.

Lin Xia looked at the thickness and quantity and astonished, asked, "Second brother! How much money is this?"

"Four thousand!"

Lin Xia put down the money, "Second brother! You’ve only been open a short while and made this much? You didn’t give me all the profits, did you?"

She wished she had asked how much it was and considered whether to accept it beforehand.

Jiang Mingyuan explained, "No! This is your share! Mine is still on the books and hasn’t been touched!"

Lin Xia gasped, "It seems opening a restaurant really is profitable!" she said offhand, "It makes me want to open one too!"

Jiang Mingyuan smiled gently, "Really want to open one? If you do want to, second brother can help you open another one!"

Lin Xia quickly shook her head, "I really don’t want to! It’s too much hassle!"

As for places to eat, she was fine with going out to dine, but being a boss and dealing with guests, as well as managing the front and back of the house, was something she did not enjoy.

"If you don’t like it, don’t do it!" Jiang Mingyuan looked at Lin Xia and smiled, "This New Year, your older brother is also coming back. Ma Hao arrived home the day before yesterday. How about we all gather at the store on the third day of the New Year?"

Last year, he had returned home on the third day, and the wine had flowed until the fifteenth of the first month.

Lin Xia agreed readily, "That’s a great idea. It would be a good opportunity for my older brother to meet everyone.

Now that we have a place, we no longer need to spend money elsewhere!"

Last year, they had had a joyful time eating and drinking together. Actually, Lin Xia was someone who loved lively atmospheres.

Seeing that she had agreed, Jiang Mingyuan said, "That’s settled then! I’ll be heading out now! Lin Chun, Lin Dong, I’ll pick you both up on the third day!"

"Okay!" Lin Chun and Lin Dong got up together to see Jiang Mingyuan off.

Lin Xia stopped them, "Second brother, don’t rush off! Wait a moment! I have the New Year’s gift for Auntie Zhao ready. You can take it with you in your car!

Actually, my older brother should have visited your house, but you know, if he goes there, then our relatives at our house would feel obliged to visit as well!"

With Lin Aijia down the hill and Lin Aiye in the valley, visiting one would mean having to visit the other as well.

Jiang Mingyuan understood and unhesitatingly took what Lin Xia had prepared.

Lin Xia and the others saw Jiang Mingyuan to the main gate.

"Drive safely, Second brother!"

"Okay!" Jiang Mingyuan took one last deep look at Lin Xia before he opened the car door, sat down, and then drove away.

By the time Lin Xia and the others returned inside, Lin Chun sat on the sofa and sorted through the money in the brown paper bag.

He was quite astonished, "Xiaoxia! How much did you invest? He gave you so much?"

At the time, since Jiang Mingyuan was there, he hadn’t felt it appropriate to check. "Five thousand!" Lin Xia answered honestly.

Lin Chun felt amazed, "That’s a really quick return!" In a few months, four thousand had come back.

Lin Xia felt the same way, "Yes, I thought so too, but Second brother said the business is particularly good now and money comes fast, so I’ll hold onto it for now to help him save, and give it to him whenever he needs money!"

Had she insisted on not accepting it, it would have looked bad to forcefully refuse.

"Alright! It’s good that you can think this way!" Lin Chun said. His monthly salary wasn’t much, so this money was simply a lot, "Take it and keep it safe! Don’t lose it! It’s best to save it!"

"I understand!" Lin Xia didn’t mention that she didn’t have a savings book.

As they didn’t have the household registration book in their hands and identity cards only started in 1984, she would wait a bit longer.

When she entered the Eastern House, she quietly, while no one was around, placed it in Jade’s room, thinking about the money she had saved up, the corners of her mouth curled widely...

Lin Xia began cleaning the house with Lin Chun and prepared a lot of food.

In previous years, the three of them had also done quite a bit, but not as much as this year.

With her older brother back, they were reunited, and Lin Xia was genuinely happy.

During the New Year, Lin Aiguo, unable to resist Lin Xia and the others and not wanting to face the queries from people in the valley, decided not to go to the valley but to spend the New Year at Lin Xia’s house instead.

At Lin Aiguo’s house, only Qian Chunli and her mother were left to celebrate New Year, feeling immensely desolate.

Qian Chunli’s health had improved slightly, but she still needed care. Her mother, after all, felt pity for her daughter, so she never went back to the village.

Besides, if she had left, Lin Aiguo would not be able to care for her daughter. Now that they had a place for her and provided her a meal, it was already quite good.

They had originally thought Lin Yu would come back for the New Year, but after waiting and waiting, Lin Yu did not return.
