Chapter 466: Chapter 465: Family Doesn’t Speak In Two Tongues

Yu Hongli’s marriage to Luo Yue became deadlocked due to disagreements about where to live after the wedding, and for a time, everything came to a standstill.

But you can’t bend an arm further than a thigh, nor can parents bend their children to their will.

No matter how reluctant Lin Aijia was, she couldn’t bear to watch her son grow haggard and miserable with deep sighs and short breaths.

At last, swallowing the pain and discomfort in her heart, she reluctantly nodded and agreed.

After setting a time in advance, Lin Aijia and Yu Changbai, with Yu Hongli in tow and some gifts in hand, went to Luo Yue’s house to discuss wedding plans.

As the matchmaker, Lin Xia naturally had to be present.

Actually, even though Lin Aijia had agreed, she was still unhappy about it; after all, it was her son who was getting married, but he would be living at his mother-in-law’s place.

People would certainly gossip about their family if they learned about this.

But what could she do when her son was willing?

However, upon seeing Luo Xinyan today, so young, beautiful, and elegant, Lin Aijia was taken aback.

After exchanging pleasantries, Luo Xinyan held Lin Aijia’s hand and thanked her, "Mother-in-law! I know my request put you in a difficult position!"

"Actually, if it weren’t for Yueyue often having to work overtime and night shifts, I wouldn’t insist on them living at home after they’re married.

You can rest assured that they will also make time to live at your place afterward..."

Putting herself in the other’s shoes, Luo Xinyan was aware that her request was excessive.

Therefore, she was moved by the concessions made by Yu Hongli’s family.

With that, Lin Aijia’s anger subsided somewhat; since they had come today to talk about the wedding, she naturally wanted to foster good relations,

"Oh! Mother-in-law, I won’t lie to you, when I first heard about it from my niece, I really couldn’t accept it right away.

I only have one son left out of several children, and yet after he gets married, he would be living at someone else’s place, which certainly doesn’t sit well with me.

But then I thought it over, and realized that Hongli has fixed work hours and commuting isn’t a problem.

As for Luo Yue, her job isn’t suitable for that... Oh well! Since I like her, we should just do whatever is more convenient..."

Neither family was the kind to make a fuss; they amicably discussed the bride price and other wedding details, and settled on a date for the wedding right after the National Day holiday.

Lin Xia thought the mutual satisfaction was very good, and with one family sending off a bride and the other taking in a groom, each prepared on their own, while she would help out as needed when the time came.

When Lu Pengcheng learned about Luo Yue’s settled wedding date, he expressed his surprise at first, but then immediately stated he would come over to attend the wedding.

"...Lin Xia! Uncle needs to really thank you! If it weren’t for your help, Luo Yue wouldn’t have been able to find someone and get married so quickly!"

Lu Pengcheng felt deeply guilty about his daughter Luo Yue and always wanted to find an opportunity to make it up to her.

But he couldn’t stay there, nor did he have the time to win her over with sincere affection and make her accept him.

Fortunately, his future daughter-in-law was there and had helped him a great deal.

Even over the phone, Lin Xia could feel the sincerity in Lu Pengcheng’s words, "Uncle! Don’t be so formal with me! Didn’t I tell you? Since Luo Yue and Brother Hongli are in love, she will be my sister-in-law!

In the future, we’ll all be one family; these are all things I should take care of! No need to keep saying thanks!"

Lu Pengcheng and Luo Xinyan’s affair was not something Lin Xia wanted to judge, but as her future father-in-law, Lu Pengcheng was genuinely good to her.

Originally, when Lu Zheng’s grandmother was angered into the hospital, Lu Pengcheng, upon his arrival, did not even give her a resentful glance and later even comforted her.

She had always been grateful, so helping him out with something didn’t seem wrong to her.

"Good! Lin Xia! Then I’ll speak frankly as if we’re all one family," Lu Pengcheng said, feeling reassured, his fondness for Lin Xia growing even deeper.

"By the way, Lu Zheng’s grandfather mentioned the wedding date to your grandfather over the phone," Lu Pengcheng asked with a smile, "What do you two think? How do you plan to handle it?"

"That’s..." Lin Xia thought to herself how quickly this guy moved, even having his grandfather connect with her own. But wasn’t the wedding date something she couldn’t decide on her own? "Uncle! I’ll discuss it with Lu Zheng!"

"Good! It’s up to you guys to decide!" Lu Pengcheng originally did not interfere in his son’s affairs, and even less so now.

Two days later, the Wu Family had a celebration.

In the yard, a newly built stove held a large iron pot bearing twelve stamps, while three tables were set up in the feasting room and several more were arranged under tents in the yard.

Early in the morning, Lin Xia was awoken by the noisy bustle from the neighboring Wu residence, and she frowned involuntarily.

Since her return, she had heard some of the Wu Family’s affairs from Wang Lan.

Wu Zhengyang was creating a fuss at home about marrying Miao Xue, and eventually, Madam Wu couldn’t win against her son and reluctantly agreed.

However, Miao Xue’s family did not agree to her marrying Wu Zhengyang!

Therefore, Miao Xue confessed to her family that she was already pregnant, and it was said her father almost raised his hand to hit her, even wanting to fiercely beat Wu Zhengyang...

Latterly, both families decided to simplify things and make quick decisions, as they could not let the pregnancy become noticeable before holding the wedding, hence the rushed ceremony.

Lin Xia waited for Liu Caifeng and Bai He to take their goods out of her home, then she pushed her cart out of the gate early.

As she set up her cart’s ladder and turned to lock the door, Wu Zhengyang, dressed in a dark blue suit and smoking a cigarette, stepped out from the Wu residence.

Their eyes met, and Wu Zhengyang, looking as flustered as a student caught by a teacher, hurriedly threw the cigarette to the ground and stamped it out.

Lin Xia knew that Wu Zhengyang did not use to smoke. A flash of realization crossed her eyes, and without addressing him, she mounted her cart, ready to ride away.

Wu Zhengyang took a few steps forward, his expression complex. He finally could not suppress the struggle and spoke, "Lin Xia... How is Lin Qiu doing?"

He knew he had done Lin Qiu wrong, hurt her deeply, and shouldn’t be asking this hypocritical question, but he couldn’t help wanting to know how Lin Qiu was doing, whether she was well or not.

Lin Xia halted, her heart also quite complicated.

Wu Zhengyang often visited her home since dating her sister, and she had indeed treated him like a prospective brother-in-law. To say there were no feelings after such a long time together would be untrue.

Still, as of today, she would say Wu Zhengyang was not a bad person.

But what of it?

The not-bad-person Wu Zhengyang had viciously plunged a dagger into her sister’s heart. Even if the wound would slowly heal over time, it was not something that could recover overnight.

She turned to look at Wu Zhengyang. Perhaps it was the recent events he had gone through, the once spirited young man no longer seemed so, his complexion was not just sallow, but he had lost a significant amount of weight on his originally plump cheeks, and his bloodshot eyes carried a mix of expectation, pain, and guilt.

Ultimately, Lin Xia’s heart softened with compassion, refraining from harsh words. She simply said, "She’s fine! Wu Zhengyang! I wish you a happy marriage!" and then rode off without waiting for a reply.

Wu Zhengyang watched Lin Xia’s retreating figure as she rode her bicycle, a multitude of emotions swirling in his heart until he could no longer hold back his tears and they finally fell...
