Chapter 785 - 784: The Stalker!

Chapter 785: Chapter 784: The Stalker!

Lin Xia returned home and did not see Shao Xingbang’s figure, originally thinking he would stay at home today.

Although the younger uncle had made things clear with Liang Wei, whether they could take their relationship a step further was uncertain.

Therefore, Lin Xia, worried about complications, didn’t rush to tell her family about this matter.

Jingjing and Keke, the two little ones, were not only walking steadily now but had also begun to babble.

Comparing the two children, Keke started talking earlier, already calling out for dad and grandpa, while mom and grandma were still unclear.

Jingjing was able to express his intentions clearly with eye contact and gestures, but his babbling came a bit late, only able to clearly call out for mom, while other words were mostly up for guessing.

Lin Xia’s favorite thing to do was to sit on the sofa after dinner, the whole family watching TV and coaxing the children while chatting happily.

Shao Chengzhi, being older, went to bed early and retired to his room to rest.

Lu Pengcheng had not taken a nap during the day, so he yawned and also went back to his room early.

In the living room, only Lin Xia and her mother-in-law, along with the children, remained.

Shao Meirou chatted with Lin Xia while knitting a sweater, "Lin Xia! I see the weather getting cooler day by day, why don’t we wean them these days! Otherwise, with this milk dependency, neither of them will eat properly!"

The grandchildren were easy kids, and the daughter-in-law, busy with work outside every day, would come back to breastfeed, and they would neither cry nor fuss.

But precisely because of continued breastfeeding, they wouldn’t eat their meals properly.

Lin Xia had no objections, as her milk supply had long been insufficient for the two little ones.

As soon as they saw her return, they would still take a few sips of milk before anything else, and at night they needed to have some milk before they could sleep.

If it hadn’t been for the hot weather lately, fearing that weaning the children would cause them to get sick with a fever, they would have implemented this plan much sooner.

"Okay! But, mom, I’ve heard that sometimes it takes several tries to wean successfully!"

Shao Meirou laughed, "How could that not be! Old Ma’s grandson in the courtyard had to try twice, the more he did so, the harder it became!

We don’t have just one child, we have two, so we must succeed in one go! Otherwise both the adults and kids will suffer!"

"Alright! Then I’ll stay at the factory!" Lin Xia could handle herself anywhere.

Shao Meirou was decisive, "Let’s start from tomorrow then! Three days should be about enough, you shouldn’t come back at all! Don’t let them catch even your shadow, we will watch over and coax them at home, and definitely succeed in one go!"

"Okay!" Lin Xia thought of leaving her two precious babies for three days, her heart sour and bitter; she hugged Jingjing and Keke dearly.

The next day, Lin Xia went to the factory with a few changes of clothes and toiletry items, her heart filled with reluctance.

Weaning was painful, not only for the children but also for the mother.

After just one day and one night, Lin Xia’s underarm swelled so much that she couldn’t lift her arm.

She had previously consulted Shao Meirou, who said that she couldn’t pump out the milk when engorged but had to bear with it, so she was truly enduring it.

Liang Wei, having gone through the same, recommended an external application method to Lin Xia.

Lin Xia felt it was unreliable and did not take it up.

Seeing that Liang Wei’s eyelids were swollen, she asked with concern, "Sister Liang! Did you not sleep well last night?"

Liang Wei denied it, "No! It was an accident! Lin Xia! I’ve got to get busy!"

How could she bring herself to tell Lin Xia that her son was giving her the cold shoulder?

If it weren’t for eating with Lin Xia, her son wouldn’t even speak a word to her.

Lin Xia saw through Liang Wei’s pretense; during their meal at her house, she had noticed something off about Cheng Wenfeng, but it was not her place to probe too deeply, "Alright! Sister Liang, you go ahead!"

Taking advantage of an empty office, Lin Xia replaced the towel padding with a dry one.

While roaming the workshop, a female worker named Li, seeing Lin Xia in discomfort, kindly informed her that a neighbor of hers knew a massage technique that remedied breast engorgement quickly and would spare her from falling sick.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xia of course wanted to seek out those people immediately; her current condition was too agonizing.

With her arm hurting like this, she hadn’t even gone to see her clients.

So, Sister Li took Lin Xia to her neighbor’s house.

Sister Li’s neighbor was a kindly-looking woman in her fifties who seemed very approachable at first glance.

After Lin Xia explained the situation, the old lady had her lie down and did some treatment.

Although it was somewhat painful while the old lady was working on her, when Lin Xia stood up, she felt that the previous swelling and pain had completely disappeared, and she was much relieved.

The old lady told Lin Xia to come back two more times, and her arm would basically be able to recover.

Lin Xia gave her ten yuan, which truly solved a big problem for her. She would have been willing to spend even more money!

Lin Xia and Sister Li were escorted out the front door by the old lady, and the three of them waved goodbye to each other.

Lin Xia thanked her again, "Sister Li! I really have to thank you! If it weren’t for you telling me this, I’d still be suffering on my own!"

Sister Li was also a straightforward person; she laughed heartily and waved her hand. "What’s there to thank! It’s no big deal!"

The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked toward the factory.

Behind them, not too far away, a person was following them stealthily.

Too preoccupied with their conversation, neither Lin Xia nor her companion looked back.

If Lin Xia had looked back, she might have been able to recognize who the stalker was!

This person was none other than Ji Man, who had not been heard from for a long time!

As it happened, Ji Man came out of her rented house and just happened to see the backs of Lin Xia and another woman together.

She hated Lin Xia so much that she could recognize her even if she turned to ashes!

Moreover, it was the season when people wore light clothes, and she recognized Lin Xia immediately.

At that moment, Ji Man thought to herself that it was indeed effortless after searching so hard without any clues.

She knew that as long as she found Lin Xia, she would have the chance to find Shao Xingbang.

So, she stealthily followed behind them, careful to see where Lin Xia would go.

Ji Man followed Lin Xia and her companion all the way to the entrance of the garment factory.

After seeing Lin Xia and her companion enter, Ji Man disguised herself, pretending to walk by and peered inside through the open gate.

Afterward, Ji Man left with a sense of triumph, planning to take a few days off from the factory to keep surveillance, confident that she could trace back to Shao Xingbang by following the leads.

Turns out, Ji Man had been in the provincial city not just for a day or two.

Since Shao Xingbang had been transferred from his original location, she could not figure out where he had been moved to, no matter how much she tried to inquire.

With no other option, she had come to the provincial city to seek help at Shao Chengzhi’s place, where she had been before.

But getting into where Shao Chengzhi lived was not something a common person could do at will; she was able to follow someone in the last time she got there.

Later, Ji Man waited in vain for several days, unable to enter, and didn’t catch sight of Lin Xia or anyone else.

Through persistent inquiries, she finally learned that Shao Chengzhi was not at home and had moved to his daughter’s place after the new year.

As for the address of his daughter’s home, Ji Man had no way to find out.

She wandered the vast provincial city like a headless fly, searching tirelessly for a long while.

After most of her money was spent, she didn’t want to go back and found work in a factory...
