Chapter 577: Chapter 576: This Matter Cannot Be Delayed

Where does such great hatred between parents and children come from?

Moreover, Lin Xia’s father had changed significantly, something she had carefully observed when she got married.

Not only had he cleanly broken off with her stepmother, but he had also improved his relationship with Lin Xia and her siblings.

A family is best when it is harmonious, with no need for estrangement to the point of never interacting again.

"It’s all right, they didn’t say much!"

Lin Xia’s complexion had not looked good since she woke up from her nap yesterday afternoon.

Those people were quite tactful and didn’t say anything in front of her to upset or anger her.

Especially during dinner, Lin Aiguo probably sensed something was off with Lin Xia and just ate and drank silently without speaking to her.

Mrs. Zhao was a bit worried initially, fearing that Lin Xia and her family wouldn’t have a good New Year, "Well, that’s good! Speaking of which, your dad really acted improperly before!

But after all, he’s old now, and he has changed quite a bit, knowing who to keep close and who to distance. Just let bygones be bygones!"

Mrs. Zhao felt that everyone gets old, and Lin Xia’s father, now realizing his mistakes, wanted to repent.

With Lin Xia and her siblings having only this one father left, it seemed better to give him a chance to show his change.

Lin Xia understood that Mrs. Zhao meant well. From her point of view, perhaps she felt that what Lin Aiguo had done before wasn’t unforgivable.

Lin Chun and the others definitely shared the same thought.

However, Lin Xia truly couldn’t do it, because she couldn’t get over the emotional hurdle within herself.

Despite this, Lin Xia certainly wouldn’t openly disagree with her, "Yes!" she replied offhandedly, "Why haven’t I seen Big Brother and the others?" changing the subject.

Since they had entered the house, they had only seen Mrs. Zhao, Mr. Jiang, and Jiang Mingyuan at home, none of the others.

"Ah! Your Big Brother and Sister-in-law took Xuewen to his father-in-law’s place. You see, their oldest sister also returned to her parental home today, so I’ve nothing to say. They can return whenever they like!" Mrs. Zhao paused before continuing, "Xiaoqing went to a neighbor’s house to see friends and will probably be back soon!"

Upon hearing Mrs. Zhao’s words, Lin Chun’s tense nerves relaxed slightly.

Ever since entering the house, he hadn’t known where to rest his hands while sitting on the kang bed’s edge.

Not knowing whether Jiang Mingqing was in the next room unsettled him completely.

Lin Xia glanced at Lin Chun and laughed, "I was wondering why I hadn’t seen them!"

Mrs. Zhao followed Lin Xia’s gaze and glanced at Lin Chun, "How old is Lin Chun this New Year? Is it time for him to find someone too?"

Lin Chun was about to reply when he moved his lips.

Naturally, Lin Xia said, "25! It’s time to find someone! I was thinking of arranging some matches for my big brother after the New Year!"

Mrs. Zhao patted Lin Xia’s hand, "Yes, arranging matches is good. Finding a partner should not be delayed! Don’t be like my Xiaoqing, who dodges as soon as matchmaking and introductions are mentioned."

Sadness flashed through Lin Chun’s drooping eyes; he knew that neither Jiang Mingqing nor Mrs. Zhao thought highly of him.

But hearing these words in person, he felt very uncomfortable.

Lin Xia noticed something was off, "Exactly! This matter shouldn’t be delayed!"

Mrs. Zhao, unaware of any problem with what she had just said, continued to kindly instruct, "Lin Xia! Aren’t you taking the bus to see your partner tomorrow? Make sure to sleep early tonight!"

"Godmother! Don’t worry, I will make sure to sleep well tonight! How has your New Year been?"

"The same old! Oh, and your cousin called me too!" Mrs. Zhao’s face brightened at the mention of Song Zhiya, "Zhiya really is a good girl!"

Mrs. Zhao was extremely satisfied with her future daughter-in-law and was eager to arrange the wedding for the two young people right after the New Year.

Unfortunately, the second brother kept saying there was no rush, and since they had just started dating, they should date for at least a year or so; even if they were to get married, they would wait until the summer or autumn when it was warmer.

She later thought about it and decided not to press the matter.

Lin Xia smiled and chimed in, "Exactly! My cousin is beautiful and has such a great personality! She’s a perfect match for my second brother!"

Jiang Mingyuan laughed and touched his nose.

While they were chatting happily, Jiang Mingqing came back from outside.

Jiang Mingqing was wearing a black down jacket, white pants, and black leather boots.

In this season, few people wore white pants.

On Jiang Mingqing, they really stood out and looked striking at first glance.

Lin Dong was the first to stand up and greet her, "Sister Xiaoqing! Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year! Lin Xia, you’re here! Been here a while?" Jiang Mingqing seemed in a good mood as she took off her down jacket and casually hung it on the coat rack by the door.

"We just arrived not long ago! Happy New Year!" Ever since that incident, Lin Xia never called Jiang Mingqing ’Sister Xiaoqing’ again.

Seeing her daughter return, Zhao Danni couldn’t help asking, "When is Jihong meeting her date?"

"The fifth day of the New Year!"

"My dear old daughter, just look at Jihong. She’s getting match-made during the New Year period, yet you just...." Zhao Danni stopped talking abruptly when she received a reproachful look from her daughter.

Jiang Mingqing’s good mood was spoiled by her mother’s untimely and incessant mention of matchmaking.

"Mom! It’s the New Year, why do you have to bring this up? Haven’t I already told you, I’ll handle my own dating affairs, and you, old lady, better worry more about my second brother!"

Zhao Danni felt helpless, "Look at you! Your second brother already has someone and they’re getting along well! Right now, it’s you I’m worried about!"

Xu Haihua had gone to a neighbor’s house to fetch something and returned home, clearly irritated.

Only Xu Danni and her son Xu Haimin, who was lying on the kang watching TV, were home.

Xu Haimin’s beard was unkempt, his face haggard, and his formerly broad and stout body noticeably thinner.

Seeing his sister pouting and not looking happy at all, he casually asked, "What’s wrong with you?"

Xu Haihua moved her body and sat on the edge of the kang, "I saw that Lin Xia and others visiting Jiang Mingyuan’s house! What’s so great about that, isn’t it just earning some money? Look how proud she acts!

Jiang Mingyuan isn’t lacking in suitors either, so why the need to particularly choose Lin Xia’s cousin? What’s so good about her that makes him..."

Xu Danni didn’t like hearing her talk like this. It was the New Year, and she didn’t want to upset her, but felt some things still needed to be said.

Her son was at home recovering from an injury, and she needed to keep a close eye on her daughter now.

Jiang Mingyuan obviously had no interest in her, and by now she should have come to her senses about what to do next.

Shouldn’t she take advantage of being young to find someone suitable quickly, lest she end up an old maid later on?

"Haihua! Will you listen to your mom? It’s up to the second son of the old Jiang family who he wants to date.

What does it have to do with us? Think about it, you’re not getting any younger, you can’t keep dragging your feet like this.

After the New Year, go meet a few people, find a reliable and hardworking partner. Can you stop worrying me?"

Haihua looked at her mother, whose face had aged even more because of her brother’s accident, and ultimately didn’t have the heart to say anything in opposition.

"I know! Mom! Let’s talk about it after the New Year!"

"Good girl! If you can come to realize this yourself, mom will be relieved! With your looks and conditions, you’ll definitely find someone who fits your desires!"
