Chapter 624: Chapter 623: Have You Paid a Penny?

Yu Changbai chuckled, "Spouse, isn’t that exactly what you wanted? If they had told you, could you have agreed?

Moreover, didn’t you see what our son was like when you first disagreed?

If we hadn’t agreed, I bet he would have been thinking about death!

You’ve raised this son yourself, don’t you know his temperament?"

"That stubborn brat!" Lin Aijia’s expression softened, "Now that you mention it, it’s good that I listened to him and didn’t cause a scene right there. Otherwise, how would we manage our relationship in the future!" She couldn’t help but feel secretly relieved.

Seeing that she was no longer being stubborn, Yu Changbai directly asked with a smile, "So, you’ve come around this time?"

Lin Aijia helplessly replied, "I’ve come to understand a bit! Although I still feel a bit uncomfortable, for the sake of our grandson’s future, I’m willing to turn a blind eye!"

The next morning, Lin Aiguo took the earliest bus to the city.

When he arrived at Lin Xia’s house, they had not yet finished breakfast.

Now, when Lin Aiguo looked at Lin Dong, his eyes lit up, filled with pride and warmth.

He felt that this son of his truly made him proud; today, he walked with his head held high and chest puffed out, full of vigor.

"Your aunt specially went to our house yesterday to talk about Lin Dong, good lad! You did well on your exams!"

Upon hearing that it was Lin Aijia who had gone to his house to deliver the news, Lin Xia’s motion of picking up food paused slightly, and a flicker passed through her eyes.

She guessed Lin Aijia wouldn’t be foolish enough to tell Lin Aiguo and the others about Luo Yue’s background.

If she had, Lin Aiguo’s reaction shouldn’t be like this.

Lin Dong was notably uncomfortable with Lin Aiguo’s intense, almost tangible gaze, "Yeah! I did fairly well!"

After a night, his excitement had settled down.

He understood that getting into a university didn’t mean he had won everything; it was just the first crossroad in his life’s journey.

In order to achieve greater success in the future, he would need to put in even more effort!

Lin Aiguo, with a smile, gathered all the wrinkles on his face together, "Lin Dong, you really are promising! Study hard in university, and afterwards, you can become an officer or something."

In this era, university graduates were guaranteed job placements by the state, so getting into a university was like securing an iron rice bowl for oneself.

Lin Dong hummed and hawed as he agreed, continuing to shovel rice into his mouth.

However, Lin Aiguo didn’t mind his indifferent attitude at all and joyfully pulled out a bundle of mixed new and old bills from his trouser pocket.

"Lin Dong! You got into university, and I didn’t know what to buy for you, nor do I know what you fancy!

Take this money and buy whatever you want!"

He knew he hadn’t done well over the years. Lin Xia had funded Lin Dong’s education, and he hadn’t contributed a penny;

so he had thought long and hard at home about buying something for Lin Dong, as compensation and a reward;

but then he thought he might purchase something Lin Dong wouldn’t like, so he took out two hundred yuan for Lin Dong to buy for himself.

Lin Dong glanced up at Lin Xia quietly. He actually felt that this was money Lin Aiguo should have given, but he still wanted to see his sister’s opinion first.

Since he knew that ever since their return for the New Year, his sister had grown quite weary of Lin Aiguo and the rest.

Seeing that Lin Xia didn’t oppose his taking the money, Lin Dong didn’t refuse and accepted it directly, "Thank you!"

"Thank what! This is what I ought to give!" Lin Aiguo, seeing Lin Dong accept the money, heaved a huge sigh of relief, worried he might not accept it.

Lin Aiguo waved his hand, "You guys go ahead and eat!" After speaking, he automatically sat down on the couch but kept glancing towards Lin Xia, who was eating.

Lin Xia ignored his gaze and calmly continued eating.

She had long expected that as soon as Lin Aiguo received the letter, he would rush over immediately.

At the same time, Lin Aiguo would definitely take the opportunity to bring up the matter of selling their house.

After Lin Xia and the others had finished eating and left the table, they cleaned up the dishes.

As expected, Lin Aiguo started talking about the house, "Lin Xia, are you really going to sell your house?"

Lin Xia responded indifferently with a "Hmm".

Lin Aiguo looked at Lin Xia, who was wiping the table, with an expression as if he had more to say but hesitated.

When he had seen Lin Xia at Yu Hongli’s house, he had wanted to talk about it, but because Lu Pengcheng was present, there were some things he didn’t feel comfortable saying in front of his relatives.

Therefore, today he wanted to take the opportunity of visiting Lin Dong to give Lin Xia a good talk.

However, faced with Lin Xia’s cold and distant attitude, as if she didn’t care about what he thought, he found it a bit hard to speak.

But when his gaze moved to Lin Chun, his eldest son, he couldn’t hold back any longer,"Lin Xia, if I may say, don’t sell the house if you can avoid it...

You are young and have little experience, and buying a house is a big deal..."

Lin Xia didn’t give him a chance to continue, instead staring coldly into his eyes and retorting, "This house is mine, and I can sell it if I want to without anyone having a say!

What right do you have to dictate what I should do? Did you pay a penny for it?"

Lin Aiguo was so angry that his face turned both green and red; he knew Lin Xia was not a pushover, fierce enough with her words!

But times had changed, and people with money were more confident; he could no longer employ his old methods to deal with Lin Xia.

He said resentfully, "Am I not being kind? Such a good house, in a good location too, will you be able to buy something as suitable if you sell it?"

Lin Xia gave him a blank look, "We really don’t need your kindness!"

Lin Xia didn’t care about Lin Aiguo’s expression and went straight into the kitchen with the cloth.

Lin Aiguo’s face turned livid with anger; he had really raised a fine daughter!

Despite his frustration, he could only watch Lin Xia’s retreating figure as she entered the kitchen and muttered, "You might not need it, but I have to say it anyway! After all, who am I if not your father!" The last sentence was said in a very low voice.

Lin Chun, who was sweeping the living room floor, heard everything loud and clear.

He put down the broom, straightened his back, and calmly looked at Lin Aiguo, "Dad! Xiaoxia and Dongzi are going to Lu Zheng’s place after Dongzi starts university!

The flat cannot go without heating in winter. If we don’t sell the house, whom are we keeping it for?"

Lin Aiguo sat down dejectedly, many thoughts flashing through his mind, but he dared not to voice them openly.

He softened his tone and asked, "So, will you live in that apartment building over there in the future?"

"Yes!" Lin Chun lowered his gaze and replied, keeping to himself that he planned to go live and work at his maternal grandfather’s house, considering that his departure was still some time away.

Lin Xia went to the kitchen to deliver the cloth, washed her hands, then shouldered her small bag and announced she was going to open the store before leaving.

Lin Aiguo looked at his remaining three children, each doing their own thing, none minding him; his heart was filled with all sorts of feelings...

Once Lin Xia arrived at the store and opened it, seeing that there was nothing much to do, she walked out to open her car ladder and was about to leave.

The Chen mother from diagonally across quickly walked over, "Lin Xia! Don’t rush off! I need to talk to you for a minute!"

Lin Xia turned around and looked at her indifferently, "What is it?"

Currently, their two families were not interfering with each other and were quite peaceful.

But because of Lin Yu, she definitely had nothing much to say to Chen mother and these people.
