Chapter 330: Chapter 329: Not Feeling Good

Lin Gang noticed that Lin Chun had changed and no longer dared to treat him as he used to. "Mom! Hurry up with the cooking! We might as well play a few rounds!"

He figured Lin Chun and Lin Dong definitely had money in their pockets, but they were so stingy. As an uncle, he didn’t even give out lucky money to his nephews and nieces.

Let’s see how he can milk them dry.

Lin Chun waved his hand indifferently, "Don’t bother, we’re not playing!"

Lin Gang gesticulated, trying to persuade, "Look at you! What’s this about! We’re not playing anything complex! Just the game of Dabao, don’t you know how to play? It’s New Year’s, let’s have a couple of rounds!"

Lin Chun looked down on this act from Lin Gang and said coldly, "We really don’t want to play! We’ll just check on grandma, have a quick chat, and leave!"

Lin Gang realized Lin Chun was determined not to play and said something just for show, "Well, what’s this! You can’t just come here and leave without even having a bite to eat! You guys chat first then, I’ll go check outside!"

Lin Gang exited the room, and Lin Chun and Lin Dong paid him no mind.

Liu Shuqin climbed onto the kang bed and, looking at Lin Chun sitting on the edge, her tears started to flow again.

"It’s pretty good out there, isn’t it!"

Lin Chun nodded, "Yeah! It’s pretty good!"

Liu Shuqin asked with concern, "I hear from your aunt that both Lin Xia and Lin Qiu have found partners? What do they do? How’s their family’s situation?"

"They’re doing quite well, working in factories!" Lin Chun didn’t say too much.

"That’s really good! Whenever you have time, let them come visit me too! I haven’t seen them for several years now!" Liu Shuqin babbled on.

Lin Dong watched all of this with a cold eye.

In his previous memories, when they used to come up for the New Year with Lin Aiguo, they never received such hospitality.

His older sisters were just kitchen help, and he and his older brother were also bossed around to do this and that.

Everyone used to order them around with such righteousness, not at all like now.

Life is truly unpredictable, as the saying goes, ’Thirty years on the east bank of the river, thirty years on the west’.

Lin Fang sat aside, listening to the conversation. She was quite curious about Lin Xia and Lin Qiu each having found a partner.

However, upon her eldest uncle’s warning, and in order to keep her job, she really hadn’t dared to get close to Lin Xia afterwards.

Originally, during Yu Hongmei’s wedding, they had said, perhaps Lin Xia and the others would come back, and she would finally have the chance to ask questions.

Unfortunately, none of Lin Xia’s group came back, and astonishingly, her eldest uncle didn’t get angry this time, even standing by their side.

Zhang Lanxiang squinted her eyes and asked, "What grade is Lin Dong in now?"

"Sophomore year of high school!"

"How are his studies?"

"Not bad!"

"What rank is he in his class?"

"First!"

Zhang Lanxiang slapped her thigh in an exaggerated manner, "Mom! Did you see that? He’s truly college material, ranking first in his class!"

Her own children weren’t good at their studies. Before, when Qian Chunli’s daughter Lin Yu went to high school, she was quite jealous.

Later when Lin Yu didn’t get in, she quietly sneered quite a bit.

Now, seeing the listless Lin Dong actually ranked first in a key high school, she felt even more discontented.

But this was something incomparable. Others were good at studying, and now Lin Xia could make money, too. As long as he got into university, they would definitely support him.

Liu Shuqin was very happy. She looked at Lin Dong and thought that the boy had really grown a lot in the past two years, "Lin Dong, study hard! After you get into university, you will be the first college student from our old Lin Family!"

Lin Dong responded indifferently, without saying much.

In his heart, he pondered, what did his going to university have to do with these people?

Lin Chun and Lin Dong, seeing that it was about time, suggested leaving.

Zhang Lanxiang and Lin Aiye made a show of asking them to stay for a meal.

"Why are you leaving so soon? I’ve just prepared a wild chicken, I’ll have your aunt stew it, add a few more dishes, and the few of us can have a drink!"

"Yeah, how can you leave without having a meal when you’ve finally come home?"

"No, thanks! We just took some time to come and see you, but we have other things to do!" Lin Chun stood up; he did not want to eat here.

Lin Dong felt the same. They weren’t without food, nor did they lack this one meal. Eating here might even give them indigestion.

Liu Shuqin and Lin Aiye’s family followed the two to the gate and did not return to the house until they could no longer see their figures.

Zhang Lanxiang contemptuously curled her lip at the paltry items Lin Chun and the others brought, "The richer they get, the stingier they are! Even if we visited someone’s home, we wouldn’t just bring these two things!"

It wasn’t that she liked to nitpick, but Lin Chun and the others really were too stingy.

Coming to the house for the New Year and bringing only such a little bit, they must have felt no shame!

"Why talk about that? The fact that their kids came shows that they still have our mother in their hearts. There’s plenty of time in the future, so why fuss over these little things!" Although Lin Aiye also felt a little displeased deep down, after all, it was his nephew.

Zhang Lanxiang muttered, "I’m not fussing over it, I just feel like they don’t take us seriously enough! No one came over during the New Year, and now they show up after the festivities are over?"

Ever since they heard that Lin Chun was coming back for a visit, they had wondered if it was possible for him not to come, given his personality.

But who would have thought, he just didn’t show up.

"You two stop nagging about this now!" Liu Shuqin really didn’t care about what they brought; she was more interested in how the two kids had changed, "I really didn’t expect these two kids to become so accomplished!"

The saying that one should look at old friends with fresh eyes was true.

Zhang Lanxiang curled her lip in dissatisfaction, "That’s for sure! Who would’ve thought someone like Lin Chun could become successful! He used to be so sluggish; it’s really unexpected."

Of the Lin Family children, it was Lin Aiguo’s ex-wife’s children who were regarded as the least capable.

Now they each turned out to be better than their own, and this made her feel even more sour inside, yet they really couldn’t be compared.

Lin Xia was making money, now it was heard that Lin Qiu had opened a tailor shop, Lin Dong had excelled in his exams, and he would likely be a college prospect. Observing Lin Chun, he would probably also find a decent job when he returned.

"That’s true!" Lin Fang echoed, "And they’re so arrogant, too! Mom! I wonder what Lin Xia and Lin Qiu have become now!

Didn’t you hear Lin Chun? The partners they choose definitely won’t be too shabby!

Now look at me, I’ve been working for a year, and I still haven’t found the right one!"

Remembering this, Lin Fang felt very frustrated. There were many young people in the processing factory, but the ones she fancied didn’t fancy her, and those who fancied her she didn’t fancy back.

Zhang Lanxiang had suffered a loss at Lin Xia’s hands before, and understood that Lin Xia was not someone to be trifled with.

But now that Lin Aiguo was on better terms with them, and Yu Hongmei was married, only Lin Fang still didn’t have a partner.

She mulled over the idea of asking Lin Xia to help introduce a suitable match.
