Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties
Chapter 681 - 680: Did She Do Something Wrong?

Chapter 681: Chapter 680: Did She Do Something Wrong?

Facing Meng Xiangzi’s evasive eyes yet persistent feigned ignorance, Meng Xiangnan suddenly lost the interest to continue speaking.

The incident had already occurred, so what was the use of pursuing it further?

Even if his sister admitted everything to him, could he really tell Lin Dong that it was all his sister’s doing?

Could he really unfold an event that pointed the elbow outward?

This person was not just anybody—she was his own sister!

"If you don’t know, never mind! I hope you won’t come to my school again!" Having said that, he didn’t care what else Meng Xiangzi had to say and walked away with large strides.

Meng Xiangzi, in a daze, watched Meng Xiangnan’s retreating figure and questioned herself, had she really done something wrong?

After being stunned for a while, she suddenly lifted her head, her eyes full of unwavering determination!

No! She had done nothing wrong!

What had she done wrong?

In the previous life, Lu Zheng was clearly her husband!

In this life, she had been reborn and her timing wasn’t actually late, for some reason though, Lin Xia had beaten her to it!

After being reborn, she wasn’t greedy at all; she just wanted to reclaim the man who originally belonged to her from Lin Xia’s hands!

Besides, she hadn’t had someone kill Lin Dong. She had merely set him up to be beaten up, to make Lin Xia rush about in a panic and miscarry!

Who asked him to be Lin Xia’s brother! He only had himself to blame!

Meng Xiangzi hypnotized herself for a while and left the school with a completely tranquil expression...

Hao Xiaoyun, because of old instructions from Li, specially brought knitting supplies and stayed at Lin Xia’s house during the day.

Lin Xia welcomed her presence warmly; Hao Xiaoyun had a friendly disposition, and the time passed more quickly with laughter and chatting.

Otherwise, alone at home, she couldn’t help but miss Lu Zheng, and it was very easy to start having wild thoughts.

Hao Xiaoyun helped Lin Xia wind the wool. She asked with a gentle smile, "Lin Xia, are you already thinking about knitting a sweater for your child?"

Lin Xia’s hands didn’t stop winding the yarn. She chuckled and replied, "I found this yarn when I was going through things; the color looked pretty, suitable for both boys and girls.

Thinking that I don’t have much else to do anyway, why not knit something to make things a bit more interesting!"

Hao Xiaoyun agreed, "Exactly! If you don’t keep busy, just sitting idle can be really frustrating. Doing some work can really make time pass faster!"

The two chatted while they worked.

Suddenly, Lin Xia asked, "Sister-in-law! Do you know how many days Lu Zheng will need to be away before he can return?"

How could Hao Xiaoyun know that?

Lu Zheng was dealing with an emergency involving his brother-in-law being hospitalized, and the duration could be short or long.

If the matter was resolved quickly, he could return in a few days; if it took longer, it was hard to say.

But she kept a poker face, "It’s hard to say! But it shouldn’t take many days!" She teased Lin Xia with a smile, "Why? Are you already missing your man just because he has gone?"

Lin Xia’s face heated up from the tease, "No! I was just curious!"

Lu Zheng had left hurriedly. That morning he had been at work as usual, then suddenly returned at noon to say he needed to go on a business trip.

She thought since Hao Xiaoyun spent more time there, she might understand some things better than herself.

"Don’t worry! He’ll be back in a few days!" fearing she might give something away, Hao Xiaoyun quickly changed the subject:

"Oh, Lin Xia! Later on, fetch a few stalks of your homemade sauerkraut for your sister-in-law. Your brother Li keeps saying that your sauerkraut tastes better, claiming that mine isn’t sour enough!"

Lin Xia couldn’t help but laugh, Li Qingshui was quite an interesting person. Ever since he had tasted her sausages and marinated meats, he always said that what she made was tastier than what Hao Xiaoyun made!

Not only the sauerkraut but even the pickles she made at home were considered the same!

"Alright! I’ll scoop some out for you later!"

"Great! No rush! Just scoop it out when I’m leaving. I leaned on some fatty meat yesterday, and this morning when your big brother Li left, he mentioned it. He told you all to come over tonight to my house and wrap sauerkraut and meat dumplings!

Don’t worry, sister-in-law will use less oil, and you definitely won’t feel like throwing up after eating it!"

Hao Xiaoyun knew Lin Xia couldn’t eat greasy or strong-flavored foods now due to her morning sickness.

But wrapping dumplings was different, the meat was actually not much, it was mainly the sauerkraut that was abundant.

In that case, she guessed Lin Xia should love and be able to eat it.

"Sure! I’ll come over early to help out!" Lin Xia didn’t feel distant at all with Hao Xiaoyun; the two families lived opposite each other and often shared delicious foods they made.

Now that Lu Zheng wasn’t at home, she didn’t even want to cook herself, and going to the cafeteria required walking a long distance and facing many people, which she liked even less.

In the afternoon, after Lin Xia woke up from a nap and refreshed herself, she checked the time. It was about right, so she took some chive flowers from her home in a small canned bottle and went over to Li Qingshui’s house.

Hao Xiaoyun, with an apron tied around her waist and flour on her hands, opened the door for Lin Xia, "Come in quickly! How come you didn’t come empty-handed?"

Lin Xia smiled warmly, "I remembered that day Brother Li mentioned it was delicious! So I brought a little over! We have a whole jar at home! After we finish, we can get more from my place!"

"Alright then! I won’t be polite with you!" Hao Xiaoyun invited Lin Xia in, "I’ve almost got the filling ready! Let’s sit at the living room table here and start wrapping soon!"

"Okay!" Lin Xia went to the bathroom to wash her hands.

She hadn’t finished washing when there was a knock at the door.

This was Li Qingshui’s home, and she hesitated for a moment, feeling awkward about answering the door.

Hao Xiaoyun heard the noise and quickly walked to the door to ask, "Who is it?"

"Sister-in-law! It’s me!"

Hao Xiaoyun and Lin Xia exchanged glances, recognizing from the voice that it was Yang Wanmeng standing outside the door.

Hao Xiaoyun immediately wiped her hands on the apron and opened the door, "Wanmeng, hi!"

Yang Wanmeng, still wearing a men’s coat that appeared too big and bulky, said, "My Siming told me to come over early to help wrap dumplings!"

"Come on in!" Hao Xiaoyun couldn’t help laughing, "Your husband really didn’t need to, did he!"

"Sister-in-law! I can’t roll the dough, but I can wrap!" said Yang Wanmeng, showing her noticeably pregnant belly as she entered the house.

Seeing Lin Xia pulling up her sleeves freshly after washing her hands, her eyes twinkled, "Sister-in-law is here too!"

Lin Xia responded, "Yes! I just came over too!"

She didn’t mesh well with Yang Wanmeng, so their conversation was minimal.

Hao Xiaoyun quickly intervened, "You two pregnant ladies sit there for a while, and rest up. Let me knead the dough a bit more, and then we can start wrapping!" She then went back to the kitchen to continue kneading the dough.

Lin Xia and Yang Wanmeng both sat on the sofa, keeping some distance between them.

Yang Wanmeng glanced towards the kitchen, then stealthily shifted closer to Lin Xia, "Sister-in-law! You seem to have lost some weight these past two days? Your complexion doesn’t look too good either!"

Lin Xia touched her cheek, "Really? I guess it’s probably because I’ve been eating less and throwing up a lot!"

"That must be it! The early days of my pregnancy had me reacting terribly! I couldn’t eat anything because I was vomiting so much, and I lost a lot of weight quickly!" Yang Wanmeng chatted idly with Lin Xia for a bit and then casually lowered her voice to ask, "Lu Zheng left in a hurry, has something happened at home?"

Lin Xia paused, "No! Didn’t your husband Nie Siming tell you? It was something at the office!"

Yang Wanmeng’s eyes widened in panic as she covered her mouth and said in a corrective tone, "Ah! He hadn’t mentioned it to me! I thought..."
