Chapter 538: Chapter 537 Why Look for Her?

The bedside lamp, bought for their wedding, glowed red. After turning off the main light, its illumination lent the festive room an aura of ambiguous charm.

Lu Zheng initially lay flat on his back honestly, but not a minute passed before he assertively reached out to pull Lin Xia, who was a little distance away, into his arms. He took a deep sniff, "Wife! You smell so good!"

"Get lost!" Lin Xia slapped at his arm, which was firmly wrapped around her, "I’m still angry!"

"Don’t be angry anymore, my dear wife! How about you bite me a couple of times to vent your anger?" Lu Zheng suggested cheerfully, ready to do anything to appease Lin Xia.

Lin Xia’s eyes danced with mischief, "Fine!" She was indeed planning to do just that—to give him a good sorting out!

She didn’t hold back and bit right into his face.

"Hiss..." Lu Zheng let out a cry of pain.

Lin Xia had barely released her grip and hadn’t even had a few seconds to gloat when her smile faded...

"Mom? Are you serious? Lin Qiu really found herself a train attendant as a partner?" Wu Zhenghong asked uncertainly for the second time.

How could so much have happened in just one day since she hadn’t come around!

Not to mention Miao Xue siding with Lin Qiu, but Lin Qiu apparently even found a train attendant as a partner!

If it were true, she actually felt a bit of sympathy for her younger brother now.

What would he feel if one day, Lin Qiu’s partner turned out to be real, especially living next door, where he could learn about every marriage and little event that took place?

Mrs. Wu sighed helplessly, "Ah! I wish it were false too! Who could have imagined that reserved Lin Qiu would land herself a train attendant as a partner. In the past, that would’ve been pure fantasy!

Unfortunately, now I think this matter must be true! Your father deliberately asked Lin Qiu in person, and Lin Qiu herself admitted it!

Without him going to ask her about it, Miao Xue wouldn’t have been able to hear the news from others and cause that commotion yesterday! It’s so embarrassing and disgraceful!"

Mrs. Wu looked very upset because she had hardly slept all night, troubled by what had happened with Lin Qiu.

Miao Xue hadn’t gone to work today because of being hit by Lin Xia and the others yesterday. She and this daughter-in-law were at odds, so she came directly to her second daughter to have a chat and spill her frustrations.

She still couldn’t accept that Lin Qiu had found a man with better prospects than their family’s younger son.

In her eyes, although Lin Qiu was good-looking, she was too meek and not particularly outstanding. She had even secretly thought before, what kind of good man could a woman who had been engaged find?

And yet, contrary to her expectations, not only did she find one, but she found a train attendant.

Wu Zhenghong also heaved a sigh along with her and couldn’t help but advise kindly, "Mom! Now that things have turned out this way, it’s already done. You should just keep an eye on our younger brother’s wife.

Don’t go looking for trouble or getting too close to them! Keep our distance from the neighbors to avoid the gossip!"

As for this sister-in-law, Miao Xue, she really had nothing to say.

"Old Xiao laid down the law yesterday, Miao Xue should be too scared to disobey! Unless she doesn’t want to stay with Old Xiao anymore! Look at that cheap demeanor of hers, how could she bear to divorce our Old Xiao?" Mrs. Wu didn’t want to talk more about Miao Xue, her thoughts were more on Lin Qiu’s relationship matters.

She still couldn’t get over it, "Dahong! I just find it odd, how could Lin Qiu end up with a train attendant!"

"Mom! Why do you care how they got together! From now on, let’s keep our well water from their river water, and please don’t go butting in!" Wu Zhenghong pleaded earnestly, truly hoping her own family could stop having issues with the neighbors.

After all, it was their own fault initially. Lin Xia was such a formidable person, and she didn’t pursue matters too far in the end, just kept to running her own small household quietly.

Why couldn’t they just lay low and avoid stirring up trouble to keep everyone uncomfortable.

"Why would I butt in! Isn’t this just us two chit-chatting?" Mrs. Wu suddenly had an epiphany and slapped her palm, "Dahong! I’ve thought it through, they probably saw the power in her grandfather’s family! Otherwise, why would they choose her?"

Wu Zhenghong was at a loss for how to communicate with her mother, frowning in frustration, "Mom! Can we not always speculate about Lin Qiu’s affairs? Let’s focus on managing our own family’s business!"

Right now, Lin Qiu was in the clothing store with Song Zhiya.

Because of the sealed windows and doors during winter, they hadn’t really heard much of what the mother and daughter in the neighboring hair salon were saying, considering there was still a doorway separating them.

Song Zhiya had Lin Qiu keep busy with work while she read a book on the side.

After yesterday’s incident, Song Zhiya was not at ease letting Lin Qiu watch the store alone.

The daughter-in-law of the neighbor Wu Zhengyang was clearly trouble. Yesterday, she didn’t get her way and got beaten up by the Lin sisters. What if she decided to come back for more today?

Therefore, while Lin Qiu was occupied, Song Zhiya found a stick as thick as a wrist in the courtyard.

Having been exposed to fighting from a young age, she was skilled in these situations. Why go barehanded when she could be prepared with a weapon?

Lin Qiu noticed the stick that her cousin had deliberately placed next to the stove, and chuckled, "Cousin! I see you’re pretty violent too!"

Song Zhiya laughed along, "Of course! Did you think only your sister was violent?" Curiously, she asked, "Hey! What was your brother-in-law’s expression like when Lin Xia was hitting someone yesterday? I feel like he really adores your sister; he seems to think everything she does or says is wonderful!"

She envied this, wishing for a man who would like her unconditionally, appreciating her for all of her, regardless of her strengths and weaknesses.

She wondered if Jiang Mingyuan might become such a man someday...

A blush crept onto Song Zhiya’s cheeks as she thought about it. She couldn’t help but knock on her own head – why did she keep thinking about him?

Seeing her like this, Lin Qiu sensed something different that might have to do with Big Brother.

But she chose not to tease Song Zhiya, instead smiling slyly, "My brother-in-law was worried my sister would be at a disadvantage. He almost joined in! I had to stop him in the end! After all, it’s not right for a man to hit a woman!"

Song Zhiya nodded, "Right! That’s the way it is! Today, if Miao Xue comes looking for trouble again, not knowing when to quit, we’ll take care of her together! Besides, I’m a woman – how bad could it be if I hit her?"

Lin Qiu was touched and grew even fonder of Song Zhiya, "Cousin! You’re so good!"

"You’re my cousin! As an older sister, I have to act the part!" Song Zhiya looked down at her watch and muttered, "But how come your sister and the rest haven’t come by today? They didn’t oversleep, did they?"

"No way!" Lin Qiu coughed lightly, "Maybe they went straight there to get the store running!"
