Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 721 - 720: It’s obvious as the lice on a bald head!

Chapter 721: Chapter 720: It’s obvious as the lice on a bald head!

Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year, and Meng Xiangnan followed his parents to visit his aunt’s house.

Because his sister, Meng Xiangzi, had an accident before the New Year, their family’s celebration was particularly sorrowful and dismal.

In the living room, the assembled relatives also empathized deeply, voicing their discontent on behalf of Meng Xiangzi.

Hua Yongfang didn’t want to listen to these meaningless words and went to the corner room with Meng Xiangzi’s aunt, Meng Chaojie, to chat.

Meng Chaojie made sure to close the door, returned to sit next to Hua Yongfang, and asked in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, have you heard anything?"

Hua Yongfang shook her head with a stern expression, "No!"

Since the New Year’s Eve, she had been closely monitoring Shao Chengzhi’s family, but unfortunately, she had still not heard any news about Shao Chengzhi’s granddaughter-in-law’s miscarriage.

Meng Chaojie’s expression slightly darkened, crossed by panic, as she leaned closer to Hua Yongfang, her voice even lower, "Sister-in-law, do you think someone might have discovered it? I haven’t slept well these past few nights! If it is discovered and traced back, then wouldn’t I be just..."

The reason she had initially agreed to Hua Yongfang’s plan was indeed out of a sense of loss for her niece and a desire for revenge, but also because her own family needed a favor from this sister-in-law.

But after the operations were smoothly completed, she only realized the graveness of what she had done in retrospect.

If something did go wrong and was traced back to her, did she not know the stature and status of that family? Would they let her own family off easily?

"What are you panicking about?" Hua Yongfang suppressed her disdain and irritation, calmingly advised, "The absence of news means that nothing has happened!

Didn’t we carefully analyze it before? They were willing to buy the medicine themselves. If anything happened, blame that old lady—why did she entertain that thought?

Besides," she said with a harsh tone, "even if they do figure it out, what can they do? We didn’t sell the medicine. Let them go to that person with their complaints!"

Her daughter, in the prime of her youth, had been given such a severe punishment for a slight mistake, destroying most of her bright future—how could she swallow this humiliation?

She later encountered the wife and daughter of the second son of the Lu Family and overheard that the old lady of the Lu Family favored boys over girls and was very annoyed to think that Lin Xia was carrying a girl.

Thus, an idea struck her to use a scheme to kill with a borrowed knife!

She had avenged her daughter and made others carry the blame.

It was clearly inappropriate for her to step forward personally, so she had to find an ally to execute this plan.

And the best candidate was none other than Meng Xiangzi’s aunt!

Meng Chaoran had always doted on her daughter and at the same time, she had something to ask of her.

They hit it off immediately and began planning their move.

Meng Chaojie pursed her lips tightly, her complexion turning even colder, "Indeed the medicine isn’t from us! But I was the one who went to that person’s house! Later, I also took her to buy the medicine!

If that woman really does have a miscarriage and they trace it back to me, wouldn’t it be as obvious as lice on a bald head? Won’t they come looking for us then?"

Meng Chaojie deeply regretted it; she shouldn’t have impulsively agreed to Hua Yongfang’s suggestion, placing herself in this nerve-racking situation.

But there is no medicine for regret in this world!

Now that things had come to this, she couldn’t rashly do anything! All she could do was to wait and see!

These few days, she was even secretly praying; if that old lady suddenly fell ill or died, is it possible that no one would have the chance to drink that medicine, and would that mean no trouble would come knocking at her door?

No matter what Hua Yongfang was really thinking, she confidently reassured, "Everything is about evidence! Moreover, you live far away and hardly ever come back!

They can’t even find the person, how can they trouble us?

Chaojie, the problem with you is that you are too timid! If you were braver, your husband would have made some progress!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Chaojie felt a surge of anger rising inside her. She knew this sister-in-law had always looked down on her.

Her big brother was a somebody, and she always used that to suppress Meng Chaojie, both in words and actions!

She let out a cold sneer, "Sister-in-law! You don’t need to say such things! If that day really comes when someone comes looking, I can’t cover for you!"

At most, she was an accessory, but everything had been planned by Hua Yongfang! Even the person selling the medicine had been found by Hua Yongfang!

Seeing her with an ugly expression and a harsh tone, the rage in Hua Yongfang’s heart surged as well, but now was not the time to break off relations.

She had to make an effort to adjust her facial expression, trying to appear more natural, "Chaoran! Rest assured! There will never be such a day!"

The two people inside the room didn’t know that at this moment, Meng Xiangnan was standing outside the door, dejectedly dropping the hand he had raised to knock, his face clouding over...

On the early morning of the fourth day of the lunar month, Lu Zheng took Lin Xia to the railway station to pick up someone.

Yesterday afternoon, Lin Chun and the other two had boarded the train from their old home.

Lin Chun, Lin Qiu, and Lin Dong were all carrying things. They had just stepped off the train and walked a few steps when they saw the tall figure of Lu Zheng and Lin Xia not far away.

"Big sister! Brother-in-law!"

"Sister! Brother-in-law!"

Lin Qiu and Lin Dong, smiling, their white teeth on display, called out in unison joyfully.

Lin Xia also noticed them and quickly called out to Lu Zheng to head their way.

As soon as everyone met up, they naturally observed each other and embraced, asking about each other’s well-being non-stop.

If it weren’t for Lu Zheng reminding them that it was very cold and they could talk while walking, the siblings might have chattered endlessly.

On the way, Lin Xia sat in the passenger seat, while everyone else sat in the back.

Lin Chun’s face, now stern, differed from his previous jolly demeanor as he started asking, "Xiaoxia! Why are you celebrating the New Year at Grandpa Shao’s place this year? Shouldn’t you go to Grandpa Lu’s?"

This was also the question Lin Qiu and Lin Dong wanted to ask, their gazes fixed intently on Lin Xia, waiting for her answer.

Lin Xia chuckled, brushing it off, "What’s so strange about that? We discussed it in advance, my in-laws went to Grandpa Lu’s place for the New Year, and the two of us stayed at grandfather’s house!"

She didn’t want them to worry about her, so she didn’t want to bring up the specific reasons.

Lin Chun and the others were somewhat skeptical.

Lin Xia didn’t give them a chance to ask any more questions and diverted with her own, "Did you bring the buns Aunt Luo made for me?"

"We did! You told us, how could we forget? We went to Aunt Luo’s house the day after New Year’s Day and spoke to her, and she delivered so many early the next day!

She told us to eat some ourselves and bring some to you!"

Lin Xia grinned, "Aunt Luo had a good New Year, right? Does she know I’m pregnant with twins?"

Because they were staying at Shao Chengzhi’s house, Lin Xia felt uncomfortable about calling Luo Xinyan, given her relationship with Lu Pengcheng.

Lin Chun smiled, "She’s great! When we told her, it made her so happy she almost cried! She even asked us to bring you some small quilts, small mats, and clothes for the kids!

She said she was rushed and didn’t know you were expecting two babies, so she’s prepared too little! She mentioned she’ll send more later..."

"Really? Aunt Luo is so kind! I’ll call to thank her when I get the chance!" Lin Xia knew some customs involved a maternal grandmother making small quilts and mats for her grandchildren.

But her mother had been gone for many years, and she had thought about buying fabric and cotton to have someone make them someday.

Unexpectedly, Luo Xinyan had done all the things she hadn’t managed to do herself! She felt filled with gratitude.

Lu Zheng drove, occasionally glancing at his wife as she turned around to chat with them.

The sight of Lin Xia chattering joyously brought a broad smile to his face...
