Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties
Chapter 384 - 383: What is the illness?

Chapter 384: Chapter 383: What is the illness?

Lin Xia entered the house and went to wash her hands, then she headed into the Eastern House.

Lin Qiu and Wu Zhengyang were talking in the living room.

Wu Zhengyang hurriedly asked, "Lin Qiu! How come you’re back? Is there someone at the hospital taking care of everything? Should I go?"

Although he hadn’t married Lin Qiu yet, being engaged made him almost a son-in-law.

With his father-in-law in trouble, it was time to step up.

Moreover, he could tell that his father-in-law wasn’t too pleased with him because of the whole Miao Xue situation!

Lin Qiu waved her hand, "No need! Brother Hongli from my aunt’s family is looking after him!"

At that moment, she had considered having Wu Zhengyang take care of it.

Later, after hearing her sister analyze it, she realized Wu Zhengyang had to work during the day and taking care of someone at night would be too much for him.

Besides, Wu Dame would not be pleased either.

It was better to rely on close relatives and save a lot of trouble.

"Then I should go and take turns with him!" Wu Zhengyang suggested.

Lin Qiu yawned, "Let’s talk about it tomorrow!"

She had been so tense and stressed today, running back and forth, that now she finally felt truly exhausted.

"Xiaoqiu! What exactly is wrong with your dad?" Wu Zhengyang asked again.

He was really curious; Lin Aiguo looked to be in good health, so how could he suddenly fall ill and be hospitalized?

Lin Qiu rubbed her burning ears and whispered, "It’s not an illness! My dad was attacked and injured!"

Discussing this incident in her family was really difficult for her.

But as a future son-in-law, Wu Zhengyang would definitely visit, so she couldn’t keep it from him.

"What?" Wu Zhengyang exclaimed in surprise, eyes wide, "How did he get attacked? Who did he fight with?"

Considering his father-in-law’s temper, getting into a fight seemed likely.

Lin Qiu felt somewhat embarrassed to mention it; she sighed internally, what a mess this was!

Yet, this was not something that could be concealed; Wu Zhengyang would find out sooner or later.

She might as well be straightforward about it, especially since this disgraceful act wasn’t committed by her dad—he was the victim!

She briefly and succinctly explained, "My stepmother and my maternal aunt’s son were up to no good, and my dad caught them red-handed. Then a fight broke out...and my dad got injured..."

Wu Zhengyang’s mouth stayed open for a long time; he didn’t know what to say anymore.

Lin Qiu instructed him, "When you go home, don’t tell your family yet, just say he was injured in a fight!"

Even though they would find out eventually, she didn’t want it to be now.

"Okay! Don’t worry! I’ll handle it!" Wu Zhengyang understood his mother’s character well; if he told her, it certainly wouldn’t take a day before it spread throughout the area.

Wu Zhengyang indeed didn’t say much when he got home. As in-laws, Wu Dame knew Lin Aiguo was hospitalized, and naturally, they wanted to visit the hospital to show their concern.

So, early the next morning, Wu Zhengyang and Old Lady Wu headed to the hospital to see Lin Aiguo.

Lin Xia let Lin Qiu go to the hospital first.

She needed to stay at home until Liu Caifeng and the others had picked up their goods and also had to open the cosmetic store.

Lin Yu arrived very early, standing at the store entrance and looking around.

She had tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep well, wondering about Lin Aiguo’s condition.

Her mother’s actions were causing her both anger and anxiety.

Even if Lin Aiguo wasn’t seriously ill, or if her mother hadn’t inflicted the injury, spreading this news would ruin their reputation!

And for the Chen family, reputation was everything!

Now the only thing she could rely on was the child in her belly; without it, the Chen family would surely cast her out.

Originally, she had thought about checking on Lin Xia’s condition after closing the store last night. If Lin Xia was fine, it was very likely that nothing serious had happened.

Unexpectedly, Chen Gang suddenly brought two friends home, so she couldn’t leave anymore.

Lin Xia saw Lin Yu’s face, pale and haggard, as she tenderly stroked her swollen belly with a heavy heart. She just gave her a brief glance and then turned her eyes back to open the shop door.

She guessed that Lin Yu must have found out about something.

Perhaps Qian Chunli had sought out Lin Yu.

After hesitating for a while, Lin Yu slowly approached.

"Lin Xia..." she wanted to ask something but felt unable to voice it.

Lin Xia acted as if she hadn’t heard and kept doing her work.

Lin Yu had always looked down on Lin Xia and, due to many things, she had come to despise Lin Xia deeply, wishing nothing but misfortune on her, to see her reputation ruined!

But at that moment, facing Lin Xia, she felt especially ashamed.

She had previously scorned Lin Xia’s mother for not being a virgin when she married Lin Aiguo.

Now, what her own mother had done was far more embarrassing!

Every time she thought about Lin Xia surely knowing about her mother’s shameful deeds with another man, her face burned.

Lin Xia entered the shop, not wanting to talk more with Lin Yu.

Where exactly Qian Chunli was, she didn’t want to know, and if the whole affair really involved her, the police would investigate and arrest someone anyway.

Moreover, even if Qian Chunli was found innocent, the marriage between Lin Aiguo and her was sure to end!

Lin Yu stood at the shop entrance, watching Lin Xia inside and clenched her teeth as she turned to go back across the street.

Lin Xia simply ignored her, what else was there to say to her?

Moreover, seeing Lin Xia’s composure and attire, she could almost be certain that Lin Aiguo must be alright.

Otherwise, Lin Xia couldn’t be so calm.

When Ding Ling and the others arrived, Lin Xia rode her bicycle to the hospital.

The hospital room was bustling, not only had Lin Aijia come, but also brought Yu Changbai and Lin Fang.

After Lin Xia greeted them, Lin Aijia cautiously said, "Lin Xia, your grandmother and the others have heard and are guessing they might arrive soon!"

With such a big incident involving her older brother, it was necessary to inform the old lady.

Lin Aiye and the others couldn’t possibly stay away either.

"Oh! Really!" Although Lin Xia was internally resistant and very unwilling to meet those people, she didn’t show it on her face.

After all, Lin Aiguo was in trouble, and it was normal for them as relatives to come and visit.

Lin Fang had just learned about Lin Xia opening the shop.

"Lin Xia! You are really capable now!"

That time, when she and her mother went to the greenhouse to find Lin Xia, she only had one stall.

Now, goodness, she managed several businesses.

The clothing store, although it belonged to Lin Qiu, she couldn’t be unaware that it was Lin Xia who had managed it.

Otherwise, Lin Qiu wouldn’t have been capable of that.

"It’s alright," Lin Xia responded indifferently, not particularly fond of Lin Fang.

Lin Fang knew Lin Xia didn’t care for her and didn’t initiate further conversation afterward.

At that moment, two police officers entered the hospital room.

They were there to take a statement from the recently awakened Lin Aiguo.

Lin Xia and the others stepped out of the hospital room.

Yu Changbai thought for a moment and said, "Aijia, since the big brother seems alright, let Hongli take good care of him; then I’ll head back to work! I’ll come over when I have time!"

"Okay! Then go back," Lin Aijia also knew it was impractical to have too many people crowding around.

Lin Xia and Lin Qiu hurriedly followed Yu Changbai, "Uncle! We’ll see you out!"

Lin Fang also followed to see him off, but she didn’t want to leave, clinging to Lin Aijia’s arm, she said, "Aunt, I took the day off anyway, I’ll go back with you later!"
