Chapter 477: Chapter 476: Lend a Hand

Lin Xia looked at the buns Luo Xinyan brought, which were plentiful enough for them to have for lunch. So, she lit the stove and prepared to cook some porridge and slice some homemade sausages and pickles.

Luo Xinyan felt awkward staying in the living room with Song Yinran and the others, so she followed into the kitchen.

Lin Xia quickly pulled out two small radish pickles from the pickle jar, washed them, and started shredding them.

"Lin Xia! Luo Yue and I really need to thank you! If you hadn’t introduced Hongli, where would we be having such good days..."

She had never dared to imagine, at her daughter’s age, she could find a younger man who is as sensitive and caring.

So, whether Lin Xia had introduced him of her own accord or was secretly asked by Lu Pengcheng, she was exceptionally grateful to Lin Xia!

Lin Xia put down her knife and quickly interrupted her with a smile, "Auntie! You really shouldn’t be so formal with me! Honestly, I didn’t do much, they originally had that interest in each other...

If anyone should be thanked, it’s Luo Yue marrying my Brother Hongli. My aunt and the others should be thanking Luo Yue and you as well!

Auntie, we’re all family now, we shouldn’t be so formal!"

Lin Xia didn’t feel she had done anything special since Luo Yue and Yu Hongli had been in touch privately as well; she simply helped to clarify their feelings for each other.

Moreover, no matter how you look at it, she had a relationship with Luo Xinyan and her daughter; Luo Yue was her elder cousin.

Luo Xinyan was moved. She had always known Lin Xia to be kind-hearted, and later, when she found out she was Lu Pengcheng’s future daughter-in-law, she had some mixed feelings.

But as time went on and Lin Xia helped them so much, hearts are made of flesh, how could she not be moved?

"Okay! Then I won’t say too many thanks! From now on, we relatives should visit each other often!"

"That’s right!" Lin Xia continued slicing pickles with a grin.

Luo Xinyan, watching Lin Xia work, furrowed her brows. Even though she said she wouldn’t thank her too much, she always wanted to do something for Lin Xia.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t feel at ease.

"Lin Xia! What have you been busy with recently? I see the clothing store is also closed!" The business must surely be affected if it’s closed all the time.

Lin Xia was tied up with running the company and didn’t have time to sit in the clothing store waiting for customers.

"...My uncle and I started a company, and I’m busy with that every day, so I don’t have time to open the shop!

Actually, even if I did open the shop, I wouldn’t be doing the work; I just take measurements and then give them to someone else to do!"

Luo Xinyan thought no wonder her uncle hadn’t left. She suddenly had an idea but wasn’t sure if it was appropriate.

She was most worried about her daughter’s marriage. Now that her daughter was married, the big issue was settled, and she had nothing else to worry about.

She could do the work herself. Wouldn’t it be great to help Lin Xia out, especially as it would also repay a favor!

She pursed her lips and made up her mind before speaking, "Lin Xia! Since I’m free every day, doing nothing, why don’t I temporarily look after the clothing store for you? I can handle any task that comes up!"

She knew Lin Xia’s sister might come back at any time, and clearly, it was not easy to find someone to hire.

Lin Xia’s bright eyes suddenly sparkled, "Auntie! That would be wonderful!" Lin Qiu wasn’t around, and whenever she had new designs, she would find someone to make the prototypes, then decide if she would produce them in large quantities based on how the goods were received.

She had considered hiring someone, but Lin Qiu might come back at any time, and it was really hard to find someone trustworthy for just a short period.

"But won’t it hold up Luo Yue and the others from going home for meals?" she immediately thought, considering the weather was getting colder, living in a bungalow and needing to heat it was a problem,

Luo Xinyan waved her hand nonchalantly and smiled gently, "No problem! I can just go back earlier, right?" She was just helping out, not working a regular job, so she could still manage her time freely.

"That’s great!" Lin Xia was very happy, "Auntie! Now it’s my turn to thank you!"

"Don’t mention it! Let’s not be so formal with each other!" Luo Xinyan felt much more at ease after saying this and then took her leave, "Lin Xia! You go ahead with your work, I’ll be leaving now! I’ll come over tomorrow morning!"

Lin Xia stopped her, "Auntie! Why leave so soon? Have something to eat here!"

"No, thanks! I’ve already eaten!" Luo Xinyan said as she was about to leave.

Lin Xia firmly held her back, not letting her go, "Auntie! Then let me give you some sausages to try at home! I made them myself! I’ve been so busy recently, otherwise, I would have thought about bringing some over to you!"

She felt embarrassed to let Luo Xinyan leave empty-handed after receiving so many warm buns from her.

"Alright then!" Luo Xinyan had no choice but to reluctantly accept.

Luo Xinyan also greeted Song Yinran, who was sitting on the living room sofa. She didn’t know how else to address him, so she just said, "I’m leaving now! Goodbye!"

"Take care! Goodbye!" Song Yinran quickly stood up to see her off. He stood at the doorway, watching Lin Xia and Luo Xinyan walk towards the gate, lost in thought.

Lin Xia warmly saw Luo Xinyan out of the gate, then went back inside to continue cooking.

During the meal, Lin Xia took a bite of a bun and couldn’t help but praise profusely, "Ah! This is really delicious!"

The skin was thin, the filling was generous, and the meat was seasoned to perfection—it was fragrant. She hadn’t expected Luo Xinyan’s cooking skills to be so good!

Lin Xia couldn’t help but sigh to herself. Luo Xinyan was beautiful and had a wonderful personality. She was truly a woman who could grace a hall and run a kitchen. Unfortunately, fate had played a cruel joke on her, which was really regrettable indeed!

Had it not been for those incidents with Lu Pengcheng in the past, her life might have been completely different!

Song Yinran took a bite as well and nodded, saying, "Indeed, not bad!"

He hadn’t expected this woman to not only be beautiful but also to be such an excellent cook. He suddenly became a bit more curious about her.

What exactly was her relationship with Lu Pengcheng? Why was she willing to have a child without demanding a formal status?

Along ate quietly, but the way he devoured his food was enough to show it was delicious.

After dinner, Lin Xia and Song Yinran discussed their respective progress.

Song Yinran and Along had looked at several government properties, but none were ideal, so they thought about acquiring some land to build their workshop, since the wild vegetables season would start in spring.

Lin Xia’s company formalities were almost completed.

Due to her wholesale toy business, delivering goods to the Forestry Bureau, she had already made some contacts. Therefore, setting up a procurement station shouldn’t be a big problem. The key was to go down there in person for detailed discussions.

The two exchanged some ideas and opinions, determined to continue striving and refining their plans.

The next day, just as Lin Xia had sent the two who came to pull goods from the greenhouse, Liu Caifeng and Bai He, away, Luo Xinyan arrived at her home.

"Auntie! You came really early!"

"Not early at all! Your Brother Hongli and the others have already gone to work! I got ready and came straight here!" Luo Xinyan was worried the clothing store might be very cold, so she wore extra clothes today.

"Auntie! Then come inside quickly! I’ll discuss the work rates with you and then give you the keys!"

Lin Xia had gotten the firewood and coal into the clothing store the previous day and was helping fire up the stove before she headed to the cosmetics store...
