Chapter 468: Chapter 467 Why is there always someone at home?

Song Yinran’s arrival was so sudden that Lin Xia, accompanied by Lin Dong, had discussed it for quite a while on the way to the station.

Although Lin Dong had never met Song Yinran, he got along very well with Song Zhiyi, so by association, he also felt an inexplicable fondness for Song Yinran, whom he had yet to meet.

Song Yinran did not come alone but brought with him a young man who was over one meter seventy tall.

The young man had a robust physique; his facial features were ordinary, but his serious expression was full of sharpness, radiating an aura that made Lin Xia feel he was somewhat like Jiang Mingyuan, definitely someone skilled in martial arts.

When Song Yinran saw Lin Xia, a warm smile crossed his face, and a hint of reminiscence flashed in his eyes, "Lin Xia! I’m sorry to make you come all this way!"

He felt as if he were seeing his wife when she was younger upon seeing Lin Xia, now he could only sigh at life’s unpredictability.

For his late wife’s younger relatives, he still wanted to do his best to help.

His visit this time was also to see if he could offer any help.

Lin Xia waved it off with a nonchalant smile, "No problem! Uncle! We’re very happy to have you here!" She hurriedly introduced them, "This is my younger brother, Lin Dong!"

Lin Dong immediately greeted him politely, "Hello, Uncle!"

Song Yinran looked at him appreciatively, "Good! The young man looks spirited! I heard you’re in your final year of high school and doing extraordinarily well, always ranking first in your grade?"

Lin Dong scratched the back of his head, a little embarrassed. Other than his elder brother and sister, he wasn’t used to being praised by outsiders, "Yes, I’m in my final year, but I’m doing alright, I guess!"

Song Yinran then gave a brief introduction to the man beside him, saying he was his subordinate named Along.

Lin Xia understood; this person must be something like Song Yinran’s bodyguard.

The station was not far from Lin Xia’s home, so the four of them walked and talked instead of taking a vehicle.

Before they reached Lin Xia’s doorstep, they saw Luo Xinyan mother and daughter standing at the entrance, along with Yu Hongli.

Lin Xia and Lin Dong exchanged glances, both feeling that today was peculiar, with visitors continuously arriving.

"Brother Hongli! Have you been here long?"

Yu Hongli shook his head with a cheerful smile, "Not at all! We just arrived! I was just saying, Lin Dong should be off school and resting at home today, but why is no one at home? It turns out you have visitors?"

As he spoke, he sized up the two unfamiliar men in front of him, his limited vision still discerning that the older man was a wealthy person.

As Lin Xia opened the door, she said, "Yes! Let’s go inside to talk!"

Once inside and seated, Lin Xia made introductions so they could get acquainted with each other.

"Uncle! This is my cousin from my aunt’s side, Yu Hongli, and beside him are his fiancée, Luo Yue, and mother-in-law..." She definitely wouldn’t go into the deeper relationships.

Song Yinran couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Luo Xinyan, surprised that she looked so young and beautiful with a daughter already so grown.

"This is our Uncle, Song Yinran, who just got off the train..."

Having heard a bit from Yu Hongli, Luo Xinyan and her daughter were already partially informed about Lin Xia’s family finding their maternal grandmother, so they weren’t too surprised about relatives from her side visiting.

Everyone greeted each other with polite cordiality.

Song Yinran noticed that Lin Xia’s relatives seemed to have something to discuss, so he made an excuse to visit the restroom and left the room with Along.

"Brother Hongli, Aunt, Sister Luo Yue! Is there something you came for?" Lin Xia knew that Yu Hongli had the day off and that he and Luo Yue were close to their wedding day; they surely wanted to take this opportunity to shop in the city.

But a sudden visit to her home certainly wasn’t for a leisurely stroll.

Yu Hongli glanced at the shut door before getting straight to the point.

"Lin Xia, can you help find someone from Quanfu to sew a quilt?"

Lin Xia was all too aware of Luo Yue’s family circumstances. Yu Hongli feared that if he asked his mother to take care of this, something might go wrong, which is why he had come to Lin Xia for help.

Lin Xia was momentarily taken aback. In those days, part of the bridal dowry, aside from suitcases and curtains, typically included six or eight new cotton quilts with satin covers in various colors—bright red and green, full of festive cheer.

And those who sewed these quilts, wishing happiness upon the daughter for her future, had to be from intact families—those without both parents, or with incomplete families, were not permitted to work on the bride’s dowry.

Naturally, Luo Xinyan was not from an intact family, and Lin Xia understood that Luo Yue and her daughter had a limited circle of acquaintances, making it even harder to find someone from Quanfu.

"I’ll need to think about who I know that fits the requirement of being from Quanfu!"

Yu Hongli’s eyes shone with delight, "Great! Take your time to think!"

Lin Dong chatted along with them.

Lin Xia silently went through the list of people she knew and thought of Jiang Mingyuan’s mother, Madam Zhao.

But with a slight frown, she said, "I have thought of someone, but would it be okay if her father-in-law has already passed away?" She knew that Jiang Mingyuan’s grandfather had passed away years ago, yet Madam Zhao was indeed a very fortunate person.

She and Elder Jiang had a harmonious marriage, and their home was blessed with sons and daughters, as well as a lovely grandson, Xuewen.

Whether it was Jiang Mingyuan or Jiang Mingqing, both of them had done well for themselves.

"Lin Xia, that’s no problem! If it weren’t for my mother insisting on this, I really wouldn’t care much about these customs!"

Ever since Luo Yue learned about Lin Xia’s relationship with Lu Pengcheng, her enthusiasm towards Lin Xia had cooled off; one could say their relationship became quite complicated then.

However, since Lin Xia had helped Luo Yue and her daughter so much, and she was about to marry Yu Hongli, soon to be Lin Xia’s cousin by marriage, she wasn’t ungrateful. Thus, her warmth and sincerity had returned to previous levels.

Luo Xinyan also remarked, "Lin Xia, as long as the couple and their children are all well, that’s enough! That alone is sufficient!" She understood her own situation definitely precluded her from touching her daughter’s quilts, so was not too demanding about the couple needing to be intact.

Lin Xia, smiling warmly, advised, "Luo Yue, you should still listen more to the elders, they know better after all!

Now, I will ask around for you! If she’s not available, I’ll quickly search for someone else! The wedding day is approaching fast!"

Pity the heart of a parent; Luo Xinyan, having never attained happiness herself, definitely hoped her daughter would find it.

Thus, her insistence on this tradition was understandable. In fact, Lin Xia envied Luo Yue; although Luo Yue grew up without a father, she had a mother who truly loved her. Growing up in a loving home, she knew how to love others!

Lin Xia immediately made a call to Madam Zhao, explained the situation, and Madam Zhao happily agreed to help, even saying she would come to the city tomorrow to find Lin Xia.

Lin Xia chatted warmly with Madam Zhao for a couple more moments before hanging up the phone.

Having resolved this matter, Yu Hongli and his party rose to leave. Lin Xia quickly offered, "What are you leaving for? It’s lunchtime! Stay and eat here! My uncle just arrived too!"

Yu Hongli waved a hand with a jovial laugh, declining, "No, thank you! Lin Xia! We need to rush off to do some shopping! We thought we’d stop by and discuss this with you first before we went!"

"All right then! I won’t keep you any longer! When she arrives tomorrow, I’ll take her over!"

Lin Xia and Lin Dong saw them out the front gate. Song Yinran and Along were standing at the entrance of the clothing store smoking when they saw this, they also greeted and waved goodbye...
