Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties
Chapter 611 - 610: Ungrateful

Chapter 611: Chapter 610: Ungrateful

Lin Chun carried a flower basket to the backyard to pick some vegetables and had just placed them in the kitchen.

He then saw his younger brother Lin Dong entering the house with a distressed-looking Lin Aiguo, lifting the door curtain.

Lin Chun came out and faintly greeted, "Dad’s here!"

His feelings toward Lin Aiguo were now very subtle because of that incredibly vivid dream that seemed so real, he could no longer be as blindly filial as before.

He couldn’t forget the things Lin Aiguo had done in that dream.

Lin Aiguo, looking somewhat spirited, grunted through his nose, "Are you feeling better?"

He was really angry. Selling the house was no small matter, yet not one person had mentioned it to him.

He felt as if he, an old father, was just a decoration, and even completely disregarded by his children.

"Much better!"

Lin Dong hurriedly gave Lin Chun a meaningful look. It wasn’t the right time to tell Lin Aiguo what they knew, considering the older brother hadn’t gone yet. It was imaginable what they would face.

Lin Chun nodded slightly in understanding. He got the hint from his younger brother. If he let Lin Aiguo know now that he too was planning to leave, it would definitely cause a scene.

To enjoy some momentary peace, he decided to put off discussing those matters for later.

Lin Aiguo directly sat down on the sofa, while Lin Dong and Lin Chun took seats on a bench to his left and right.

Lin Aiguo, looking at his two sons, couldn’t suppress his inner impatience, "I really don’t understand what you’re thinking! Selling the house is such a pity! Is Lin Xia arranging the sale?"

In his view, the location here was excellent, for the presence of the greenhouse made it essentially the city center. It would not be easy to find a house nearby in the future.

And they had even converted the storage room into a shed with mud walls, convenient for any business, yet they were considering selling it all the same.

Lin Chun pursed his lips tightly, "What’s there to regret? This house was bought by Xiaoxia with her own money! We didn’t spend a penny!"

Originally moving out from home to live on their own, if it wasn’t for their older sister’s hard-earned money supporting the family, he and his younger siblings probably wouldn’t even have a stable place to live.

Now selling the house, he really didn’t feel it was a matter of concern.

This was clearly his elder sister’s house!

Lin Aiguo was taken aback, falling silent all at once. He casually pulled out a cigarette box from his jacket pocket, lit a rolled cigarette, took a couple of puffs, and then spoke again,

"Even if she bought it, you can’t just decide to sell it like this!

Lin Chun! Haven’t you thought about it? If you and Lin Dong live and work in the city in the future, issues like getting married and having wives will definitely require a house...

Are you depending on the work unit for housing? When will you young people get that chance?"

He knew he had no ability to buy his sons property in the city.

But now, with such a good property in hand, not keeping it but rather selling it, he couldn’t help but feel it was a pity.

Lin Dong looked at Lin Aiguo with disdain. This was his biological father, thinking so far ahead, and yet also extremely laughable.

"My marriage is still a long way off! Besides, whether my big sister owes us or deserves our gratitude, even now that she’s married and has her own little family, should she still worry about our future matrimonial homes?"

Lin Aiguo, due to his concern that his younger son was about to enter university and later would hold a guaranteed job as a civil servant, toned down his voice a bit.

"Lin Dong! You are young, it’s fine for you! After you graduate, you’ll definitely be assigned to a good unit!

But your older brother, how old is he? Twenty-five this year, a critical age! What if he meets the right girl, won’t he just marry her? Depending on their unit for a house, who knows how long that will take...

Lin Xia is now married, and if she spends more in the future, surely her in-laws would have thoughts about it..."

Lin Aiguo felt that a daughter-in-law who spent money to buy a house for her brothers, in a typical situation, would definitely not sit well with most people.

Lin Chun’s expression was grim, "You don’t need to worry about these things! We’ll solve our own problems!"

He had originally left this place to work and live at his maternal grandfather’s, harboring some different feelings toward Lin Aiguo in his heart.

But now, he had completely abandoned that idea, since Lin Aiguo had a house and a retirement pension, there was no problem with his eldercare.

When the time came that he was seriously ill and incapable of moving, as the eldest, he would inevitably take on that responsibility. He couldn’t let his two married sisters handle this.

Lin Aiguo was so angry he was almost fuming, he stood up and fiercely threw his cigarette butt on the ground, "Lin Chun! How can you be so ungrateful? I’m only thinking of your best interest! If you ask me, it’s better not to sell the house if you can keep it!"

Why was he saying all this if not to persuade them to consider the future?

Lin Chun also stood up to confront him, his eyes wide, "I don’t need this kind of favor from you! We’ve decided to sell the house!"

They were all leaving here anyway, what was the point in keeping the house?

Given enough time, someone might get ideas they shouldn’t have!

"Fine! If you want to sell, sell! No one is stopping you!" Finally, seeing he couldn’t manage them, Lin Aiguo stormed off huffily.

Lin Chun and one other watched as Lin Aiguo slammed the door curtain violently, they exchanged a look, but neither followed him out...

In Jiang Mingyuan’s office, Lin Xia and another sat opposite each other beside the guest coffee table.

Jiang Mingyuan had just gone to the cosmetics shop to pick up Lin Xia, wanting to have a serious talk with her.

"Lin Xia, with this selling and buying business as well as selling the house, are you planning not to come back here anymore?"

Lin Xia took a sip of warm tea, lightly laughing, "Second brother! It’s not like that! Look, I didn’t sell the third-floor apartment! We’ll still come back occasionally when there’s something going on!

My older brother wants to take Xiaoqiu to live with my grandfather. After I send my younger brother off to school, I’ll be going to Lu Zheng’s place, so I won’t be able to continue this business. So, it’s better to find a suitable buyer to turn it into cash to keep in my pocket!

Later, if my older brother finds that they don’t like it there and wants to come back, starting the business again wouldn’t be a problem, right?"

She had prepared for both possibilities in her heart and supported them no matter where they were.

"That does make sense!" Jiang Mingyuan said, smiling lightly and nodding before suddenly changing the subject, "Lin Xia! Why don’t you sell your cosmetics shop to me?"

Lin Xia looked at him puzzled, smiling, "Second brother! What’s with you? Isn’t this restaurant keeping you busy enough? Don’t get involved! I still plan to make a small profit from that shop!"

Because her relationship with Jiang Mingyuan was very delicate, complicated by the romantically inclined Song Zhiya, she really didn’t want to sell her shop to Jiang Mingyuan.

Not to mention, she was worried that Song Zhiya might get more ideas, which could cause problems with her second brother over this matter.

Jiang Mingyuan laughed heartily, "Lin Xia! I’m serious! Your shop is doing well and making good profits!

Why would I pass up a direct money-making opportunity and let others benefit instead?

Don’t forget, I’m your foster brother; shouldn’t I be the one to benefit from such a good deal rather than some outsider?"

His words left Lin Xia somewhat speechless!

Still, Lin Xia felt that if it hadn’t been for her, Jiang Mingyuan wouldn’t have thought about taking over the shop.

"So... Second brother, you really think just my shop is good?"

Jiang Mingyuan’s eyes sparkled, "Yeah! What did you think?"

Lin Xia cleared her throat, "I thought..." Her expression suddenly became serious, "I thought you were worried that I might be in a hurry and couldn’t make a deal, so you wanted to take it over!"

Jiang Mingyuan shook his head helplessly, "You think too much! I’m a businessman! No profit, no motive!"

Lin Xia stroked her chin thoughtfully, "Let me think about it! Anyway, there’s no rush!"

Jiang Mingyuan calmly took a sip of tea, "Okay! I’ll wait for your news!"
