Chapter 467: Chapter 466: Is It Deserved!

The day after Wu Zhengyang married Miao Xue, Lin Xia sat in her clothing store and heard the sound of arguing from next door, followed by the wails of Mrs. Wu.

Neighbors who were home came out one after another, standing at the gate of the Wu Family’s house to watch the excitement, but Lin Xia didn’t budge from her spot.

Since Lin Qiu was at her grandfather Qin Zeming’s house, Lin Xia kept the store open whenever she had time. If customers came in for tailoring, she measured them and then took the measurements to Mrs. Tao to sew.

Wang Lan from the convenience store across the street listened for a while, then she pursed her lips and entered the clothing store.

"Lin Xia, you think this isn’t deserved? A decent girl steals someone else’s man shamelessly, and now they start fighting right after getting married. I really don’t know what she’s after!" Wang Lan had a particularly poor impression of Miao Xue.

Moreover, since Lin Qiu was the one who introduced Wu Zhengyang to her, she felt especially furious about how things turned out.

A faint smirk fleeting across Lin Xia’s face, thinking about how they were fighting so soon, how could they possibly have good days ahead?

However, all this had nothing to do with her. All she had to do was shut her door and live her own peaceful life.

Her family had a delicate relationship with the Wu Family, and if any word got out from her, it might be unsightly!

Therefore, Lin Xia responded indifferently to Wang Lan, not continuing the gossip. Instead, she seemed to casually ask, "Auntie, is there anyone looking after your store?"

Wang Lan instinctively turned her head to check her shop’s entrance, then turned back, pretending not to understand the hidden meaning in Lin Xia’s words, and laughed, "No one! Your uncle has gone to the wholesaler! It’s quiet now; no customers. I thought I’d chat with you for a bit. Lin Xia! Lin Qiu is doing well at your grandma’s, isn’t she? Has anyone been introduced to her?"

She came in to chat and gossip with Lin Xia, but she was actually quite curious about Lin Qiu’s situation.

Most of the nearby neighbors, even if just for formality, went to the Wu’s house for the wedding feast yesterday, but Lin Xia definitely wouldn’t have gone.

When it comes to the neighbors, she was closer to Lin Xia and her family, so several people asked her for information.

They all knew that Lin Xia’s grandfather was some important leader from out of town and were curious whether Lin Qiu would come back or not.

Lin Xia knew Wang Lan was just being nosy and trying to pry, but it wasn’t just Wang Lan—most of the neighbors were curious. There was no harm in sharing some details, so they wouldn’t think that her sister was still heartbroken over Wu Zhengyang.

Though that might be partly true, she couldn’t quite say that.

"She’s doing fine! My grandma is not in good health, and she’s there to keep her company and help our great-aunt take care of her.

As for suitors, why wouldn’t there be any introductions? Right after we arrived, someone suggested it! But my sister is still young, there’s no rush, she can choose slowly!"

Wang Lan completely agreed, "When the elderly aren’t well, it’s really necessary to have someone by their side... The suitors introduced by your grandmother’s family must be of good quality! Your sister has really fallen into a pile of blessings!"

Lin Xia just smiled and said nothing.

Seeing that Lin Xia wasn’t too inclined to talk, Wang Lan, having gotten the information she wanted, exchanged a few words before heading back across the street.

Lin Xia continued flipping through the book in her hands, while casually listening to the commotion at the Wu’s house.

In the living room of the Wu Family, Miao Xue showed not a trace of a new bride’s happiness or shyness. Instead, her eyes hid irritation as she glared at Mrs. Wu, who was crying and slapping her thighs without regard for her image.

On their wedding night, Wu Zhengyang hadn’t touched her.

She wasn’t pregnant, and if they didn’t sleep together soon for her to get pregnant, how would she carry the act forward?

Already anxious about this, the old lady was making matters worse by barging into the Western House that morning without even knocking, demanding she get up to cook!

Miao Xue had always been used to sleeping in at home and eating ready-made meals. How was she supposed to cook?

After thinking it over, she decided to tolerate it for the time being, considering there were many days to come.

Fortunately, it was cool now. There were plenty of leftover dishes from yesterday’s feast. She warmed up some steamed buns and porridge, and heating up the dishes sufficed for a makeshift breakfast.

After the meal, Grandpa Wu pushed his bowl aside and went to work. Wu Zhengyang, who was on marriage leave, didn’t stay home either. He said he had something to return at a classmate’s house and didn’t even let her follow him.

As soon as Wu Zhengyang left, Mrs. Wu’s expression turned even sourer.

She couldn’t stand Miao Xue no matter how she looked at her. Her appearance and stature were unremarkable, and she was terribly clumsy at household chores.

While washing dishes, Miao Xue broke two bowls, which upset the old lady even more, as she nagged nonstop by her side.

When it came to sweeping and tidying up the house, she found faults here and there that hadn’t been cleaned or done properly.

Unable to hold back, Miao Xue retorted a few words, and then the two of them started bickering.

This was what had led to Mrs. Wu’s earlier wailing.

Miao Xue, suppressing her anger and forcing a smile, said, "Mom! It’s just us at home right now, and it’s not a big deal, right? It’s just two bowls. Can’t I just buy a few more when I go out? There are already plenty of people standing at the gate watching our drama ..."

Mrs. Wu also knew that continuing to make a scene wouldn’t look good, especially since her older son was not at home, and her daughter couldn’t come to open the store today because of a family issue. Otherwise, she would’ve been frantic.

Mrs. Wu, wiping the corner of her eye, coldly warned her, "Miao Xue! Let me tell you! If it weren’t for the fact that you’re carrying my grandson, I wouldn’t even let you through our door!

If you want to be a good daughter-in-law of our Wu family, lazy, greedy, slick behavior won’t do! You need to work harder in the future!"

Miao Xue watched as Mrs. Wu turned her back and returned to the Eastern House, so angry she could almost spit blood!

That old witch!

But then she immediately furrowed her brows in distress, wondering how she could get pregnant faster ...

...

On National Day, whether it was government offices, factories, or schools in Lin District, everyone had the day off.

Lin Dong had come home from school the night before, and Lin Xia had cooked him braised pork and stewed ribs, ostensibly to nourish him properly.

The next day, after opening the cosmetics shop, Lin Xia returned home to start storing autumn vegetables and pickling sauerkraut for the winter.

The siblings were working together, one outside the vat assisting, the other inside the vat compacting the cabbages, when suddenly the phone in the living room rang.

Lin Xia wiped her hands and answered the phone, only to hear that it was Song Zhiyi on the other end.

"Cousin! The toys you sent haven’t arrived yet!"

Song Zhiyi had returned to the south a few days later than her, so it took him a bit longer to find goods in the market and dispatch them.

Song Zhiyi chuckled dryly, "Lin Xia! Those goods should be arriving soon! Don’t worry! I’m calling to let you know, my dad has arrived at your place!"

"What? Uncle arrived here at my home?" Lin Xia was a bit surprised, then scolded him, "Why didn’t you call me in advance? I could have gone to the station to pick him up!"

Lin Xia had a favorable impression of Song Yinran, though they had met only once.

"You can’t blame me for that! Your uncle came on a whim because he had some business to handle! I didn’t even know beforehand! He couldn’t find your house, so you better go pick him up at the station!"

"Alright! No problem! I’ll head over right now!"

Lin Xia hung up the phone, called to Lin Dong that they would continue pickling the sauerkraut after she returned, and the two of them hurried to the station together.
