Chapter 625: Chapter 624: People Climb to Higher Places, Water Flows to Lower Places

Chen’s mother wore a fake smile, "There is something! I see that you have posted ’For Transfer’ for quite some time now and it hasn’t been transferred!

I was thinking about asking for the price, and if it’s reasonable, our family will take over the shop!"

She knew Lin Xia’s shop had always been doing well, and taking over would mean making a profit, so she had been interested ever since the ’For Transfer’ sign was posted on the glass of Lin Xia’s store.

However, Lin Xia’s store had much more inventory than her shop, and the price would definitely be a lot of money. Her family had also invested a lot in setting up their shop; the money was all tied up in the inventory;

and she was also worried that Lin Xia, because of his daughter-in-law Lin Yu’s relationship, might not be willing to transfer it to her, so she hesitated and never came to ask.

But, having watched for such a long time recently, she hadn’t seen Lin Xia transfer it out.

And she also found out from others that the reason Lin Xia wanted to transfer the shop was to go to her husband’s place.

So she became interested again, knowing it was a profitable deal, she thought it fit to borrow money to take it over if necessary.

Besides, since Lin Xia had not transferred it out yet, she took the opportunity to press the price down...

How could Lin Xia not see the calculations and schemes in Chen’s mother’s eyes?

But she would never transfer her shop to their family!

Not to mention the intricate mix of gratitude and resentment between her, Lin Yu, and Qian Chunli;

Just the fact that at first, Chen Gang had brought in people from the tax bureau to cause trouble, and later imitated others in producing toys to undercut prices and steal customers—it was all laid out there, she absolutely had no reason to let them benefit!

However, if it had been earlier, she would have definitely rejected Chen’s mother without any sentiment.

But considering that they were going to leave soon, and her second brother was interested in taking over the shop, she thought it best to avoid further issues.

Lin Xia was about to speak but changed her words, "Who said my shop hasn’t been transferred? It has already been transferred!"

Chen’s mother’s expression changed; she was somewhat incredulous as she asked, "Lin Xia! Are you serious?"

She had planned everything in advance, yet could not believe Lin Xia’s shop had actually been transferred!

Lin Xia tugged at the corner of her mouth, "Of course I am serious! I have no reason to lie to you!"

Chen’s mother’s eyes were filled with doubt, "Then why hasn’t the person who took over the shop come yet? Lin Xia! You better not be doing this because of Lin Yu’s relationship..."

Lin Xia interrupted her, "The person who took over is a good friend of mine, he is very busy, so he asked me to help him out temporarily! I need to go now!" Lin Xia had no time to deal with her, after saying this she directly got on her bicycle and left.

Chen’s mother stood still, a multitude of emotions crossing her eyes, no matter how she thought about it, she still felt that Lin Xia was making up excuses to put her off.

Eventually, gritting her teeth, she went into Lin Xia’s shop.

Ding Ling and another were cleaning, and they had heard everything said by Lin Xia and Chen’s mother at the door.

"Miss! Has this shop been transferred?"

Ding Ling nodded vigorously, her tone confident, "Yes!"

"Oh!" Only then did Chen’s mother completely believe, she looked around at the shelves and counters that were far more orderly than those in her own shop, feeling waves of regret.

Such a good shop being taken over by someone else, and they would have to compete with her family for business... no matter how she thought about it, she felt dissatisfied...

Two days later, Auntie Zhao came to the city.

They had received the call ahead of time, and the four siblings, including Lin Xia, all rushed to Jiang Mingyuan’s restaurant to eat.

Sister Zhao did not come alone, she also brought Jiang Mingqing and her little grandson, Xuewen.

When Lin Xia saw that Xuewen’s right arm was in a cast and his neck was draped with a red ribbon, she hastily asked, "Godmother, what happened to Xuewen?"

Sister Zhao helplessly and gingerly rubbed Xuewen’s buzzed head, "His father was riding the bicycle with him, and when they came to a turn, I don’t know if he didn’t turn properly or what, but the child fell off the bike’s beam, landing on his right arm!"

At the time, we thought he had just twisted it, so we had a neighbor try to fix it. However, his arm swelled up more and more, and only then did we go to the bone setter, where we were told he had a fracture..."

Lin Xia was quite fond of this stout-headed boy, having watched him grow up from a very young age, and she asked with concern in her eyes, "Xuewen, does it hurt?"

Xuewen grinned at Lin Xia, "Aunt Lin, it doesn’t hurt!"

Sister Zhao scolded lovingly, "This tough little kid, even with a splint on his arm, it doesn’t stop him from jumping around and playing... If it hadn’t been for his accident, we would have come over earlier..."

"That’s right! My second brother mentioned the other day that we should find time for a meal together, and then there was no news from him, I was wondering about it, and guessed that something must have come up!" Lin Xia felt a special warmth around Sister Zhao, and the two of them sat close together.

"Lin Xia," Sister Zhao felt a bit melancholic, and she grasped Lin Xia’s hand, "once you leave, it won’t be easy for us to meet again!"

A warmth kindled in Lin Xia’s eyes; she clasped Sister Zhao’s hand and caressed it gently, "No worries, godmother! I will still come back occasionally, and I’ll definitely visit you at home when I do, for you to cook me something delicious!"

"Alright! It’s enough for me knowing you feel this way!" Sister Zhao said, relieved, "Your brother Lin Dong is really promising! He scored so well on his exams! Lin Dong, your scores were even better than Sister Xiaoqing’s back in the day!"

Sister Zhao had been thrilled about Lin Dong’s academic achievements; she had practically watched these children grow up over the years.

She sincerely shared in their joy at Lin Dong’s success!

Lin Dong scratched the back of his head modestly, "No! Sister Xiaoqing faced much harder exam questions than we did back then!"

Jiang Mingqing laughed, "Lin Dong! Don’t be so modest! You really are more diligent than I was!"

Lin Dong’s face turned red, "Sister Xiaoqing! I..."

Sister Zhao chuckled, "Lin Dong, there’s no need to be embarrassed! I’m telling the truth! Even Sister Xiaoqing admits it!"

Everyone laughed.

Since Lin Chun entered, he had glanced at Jiang Mingqing only once and had not looked in her direction again.

Now seeing her talking to his brother, he couldn’t help but gaze at her for a few seconds before immediately looking away.

His confession that day was meant to be a perfect closure to his unrequited love.

In the following days, he indeed felt sad and dejected, but through this period of reflection, he was able to let go of his feelings.

Meanwhile, Jiang Mingqing’s gaze inadvertently swept across Lin Chun’s face. She was aware of the situation between Lin Chun and Xu Haimin and was surprised that Lin Chun had just been discharged from the hospital the day he came to confess, which explained the hat.

But after she rejected him face to face, and he said his goodbyes before leaving, he truly never showed up in front of her again.

Perhaps that’s the strange contradiction of girls!

If Lin Chun had persisted annoyingly after confessing, she would have definitely become sick of him, wanting nothing more than to keep her distance.

But instead, his decisive departure left her feeling oddly empty, unable to pinpoint exactly what the sentiment was.
