Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 719 - 718: If You Don’t Speak, No One Will Treat You as a Mute!
Chapter 719: Chapter 718: If You Don’t Speak, No One Will Treat You as a Mute!
Lin Chun’s pale face sported a smile that seemed a bit forced. He casually slapped Lin Dong’s head with a light pat,
"Making such a fuss! What’s wrong with me? I just didn’t sleep well last night. I’m sleepy today! I’ll be fine after I doze off a bit after dinner!"
There were some things he could discuss openly with his oldest sister, but he just couldn’t bring himself to talk about them with his younger brother and sister.
Lin Dong murmured quietly while holding his head, "I don’t think that’s quite it."
Lin Qiu, observing the odd look on Lin Chun’s face, also spoke up, "Big brother! I feel the same as Dongzi!
Especially when Lin Fang’s partner walked in, why did your face turn so pale?
I remember, you hadn’t seen him before, just like me, right?"
It was the first time Lin Qiu had seen Lin Fang’s partner. When he was introduced to them, her big brother was clearly out of it and not present.
Lin Chun flatly denied, "Where would I have seen him? Today is the first time! Stop making wild guesses on New Year’s, you two! I just didn’t sleep well! That’s it! Let’s hurry back, it’s really cold!"
Having said that, Lin Chun quickly walked a few steps ahead.
Lin Qiu and Lin Dong exchanged looks, watching the back of their big brother. Seeing that he adamantly refused to acknowledge anything, although they were filled with confusion and doubt, they also didn’t pester him with more questions.
They briskly caught up with him, the three of them stepping through the snow that was ankle-deep, heading towards Lin Aiguo’s house.
Along the way, Lin Chun seemed calm on the surface as if nothing was wrong, but inside a multitude of emotions were churning.
He couldn’t understand no matter what, how Lin Fang’s partner could be someone who had appeared in his dreams!
The moment he saw that man, he was completely stunned!
He had originally thought it was just a dream, and his oldest sister had also advised him not to mix dreams with reality.
As time went by, he had slowly begun to forget and no longer think about that dream!
Unexpectedly, there was such a person in real life!
And this person had even become Lin Fang’s partner! freeweɓnovel.cѳm
However, this differed a bit from the two similar dreams he had had!
In the dreams, that man was with ...
Ever since he saw that man, he had fallen into a strange feeling. He knew it was a dream, but it felt incredibly real, as if it was a part of his life he had actually experienced!
Now, that man was standing right in front of him, alive and well!
Yet in the dreams, he died! He died early on!
Suddenly, Lin Qiu let out an "Ouch," interrupting Lin Chun’s train of thought.
"What’s wrong? Xiaoqiu!"
"Big brother! Dongzi! Do you think there’s something up with them? Why haven’t they left Lu Zheng’s grandpa’s house at this hour?"
Lin Qiu had been so overjoyed about her sister having twins that she had completely forgotten about this!
Lin Dong’s eyes widened in agreement, "Yeah! I was just wondering about that. Weren’t we thinking of asking for my oldest sister-in-law’s number at her granddad’s house? Why are they still there!"
Lin Chun was once again filled with suspicion, but he didn’t want his younger siblings to worry unnecessarily during the New Year.
"You two stop overthinking! I guess there’s probably nothing wrong! When I heard Xiaoxia answering the phone, she sounded pretty cheerful!
Maybe Lu Zheng’s dad didn’t go back, so they’re just celebrating the New Year together!"
"That makes sense!" Both Lin Qiu and Lin Dong accepted the explanation.
By the time the three of them got back to Lin Aiguo’s house, the moment they stepped inside, Lin Aiguo rose from the sofa, hurriedly asking, "Did you get through on the phone? How’s Lin Xia?"
"It’s connected! That’s great!"
Lin Aijia and Zhang Lanxiang, hearing the voices, also came out of the kitchen, each asking about Lin Xia’s condition in turn.
Lin Chun and the others felt that Lin Xia having twins was a great joy, so they didn’t keep it a secret and directly told everyone.
"Twins!" Lin Aiguo laughed, his face gathering in folds, he was truly happy from the bottom of his heart!
Although his daughter Lin Xia always went against him and didn’t pamper him at all!
But perhaps as he got older, his own thoughts and mentality had changed, and deep down, he still cared quite a bit about Lin Xia.
Lin Aijia, filled with joy, couldn’t help but express her feelings, "Twins! Lin Xia is really blessed indeed!" She said, and glanced over at Luo Yue and her little grandson on the kang bed inside the room.
The others also chimed in with pleasant words, "Yes! Now it’s great! Having two children will give them companionship!"
"Exactly! Just one would be too lonely! Besides, they are well-off, they can afford to raise several children!"
Liu Shuqin had a smile on her face, "It’d be best if it’s one girl and one boy to make a ’good’ character!"
Only Zhang Lanxiang wiped her hands on her apron, her mouth twisting discontentedly, "It would be best if they are two boys or one girl and one boy. If it’s two girls, that would be miserable! Her husband has a job, they’d want to stop at one unless they don’t care about their future!"
Lin Aiye was about to speak out to scold her to be mindful, but Lin Aiguo’s voice was quicker, "Nobody would mistake you for a mute if you kept quiet!"
Everyone was speaking kindly, yet this Zhang Lanxiang always had to say something unpleasant! Lin Aiguo glared and did not like her at all!
If it weren’t for their mother being here, and coming over for the New Year, he wouldn’t even want Zhang Lanxiang to set foot in his house!
Zhang Lanxiang was upset, "Big brother! Listen to you! What I’m saying is the truth! Now, we’re not even allowed to speak?"
Lin Aiguo was truly angry, "With your sharp and harsh way of talking! Just wait and see what kind of kids your daughter will have after she gets married!"
Zhang Lanxiang wanted to argue more, but Lin Fang had forcefully grabbed her by the sleeve.
Lin Fang accused her with great dissatisfaction, "Mom! Hold back a bit and talk less! If it turns into a quarrel and the neighbors hear, then they learn from Liu Tian’s family, would they still be willing to marry me?"
She was actually also angry at her Uncle, she was still an unmarried girl, and yet he brought it upon her in the heat of the argument.
But she understood that it all started because her own mother had sparked the issue. Everyone was lavishly praising and flattering Lin Xia, and yet she had to say something unpleasant, and no one would like that.
Zhang Lanxiang knew that the neighbors next door were on good terms with Lin Fang’s suitor’s family, and any significant noise from one house could be heard in the other.
What if it reached Liu Tian’s ears and they thought she was hard to get along with—would her daughter’s marriage proposal still go smoothly?
So Zhang Lanxiang immediately cooled down, but she still resentfully glared at Lin Aiguo before entering the kitchen.
Lin Aiguo, however, didn’t care about how Zhang Lanxiang felt at all; he lit up a cigarette and continued to ask Lin Chun and the others about Lin Xia’s situation.
When he heard that Lin Xia and her family were spending New Year’s at Lu Zheng’s maternal grandfather’s place, Lin Aiguo frowned as he felt something was off.
Logically speaking, Lin Xia and Lu Zheng should have been at Lu Zheng’s paternal grandparents’ house on New Year’s Eve, so why were they still at his maternal grandfather’s house?
He muttered to himself, wondering if something was wrong.
But in front of so many people, he did not feel it was appropriate to ask.
...
On New Year’s Eve, Lin Xia actually wanted to stay up with everyone to welcome the new year.
However, she was no longer alone, and when profound drowsiness hit, she simply couldn’t resist and fell asleep just after eight o’clock.
This year, for Lin Xia, if she ignored Shao Meifang, who came over with her family on the second day, was quite enjoyable with all the eating and drinking.
Then, on the third day, Lu Pengcheng and his son Lu Zheng left the house together after breakfast...
