Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 723 - 722: Water and Fire Don’t Mix!

When Hua Yongbing received the news that Hua Yongfang had been arrested, he almost fainted from anger!

He also felt that the punishment for his niece Meng Xiangzi was somewhat excessive, but he was powerless against the pressure from various quarters.

All he could do was to try to ease Meng Xiangzi’s suffering a bit by pulling some strings where she was detained, so the child would endure less hardship.

However, because of this, Hua Yongfang came to resent him, believing him to be negligent and inactive, and even at the family gatherings during the new year, she hardly spoke to him.

At the time, he thought that it was normal for his sister to hold a grudge and he could understand her feelings!

After all, any parent would be heartbroken to have their beautiful daughter imprisoned!

He hoped that with time, she would come to terms with it and understand the difficulties and hardships he faced!

Regrettably, he could never have imagined that his own sister would lose her senses to such an extent and silently plot to harm Shao Family’s great-grandson!

But she was his sister, and no matter how disappointed he was with her, he had to step in and resolve the matter!

He understood that if it were any other family, his sister’s culpability might not have been treated so severely, maybe just a few days of detention. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

But being involved with the Shao Family was vastly different!

Even though he had thought everything through thoroughly, he still had to go through the motions of doing what needed to be done!

When Hua Yongbing came to visit, Lin Chun and others were playing mahjong with Shao Chengzhi, and they were thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Lin Qiu was sitting next to Lin Xia, watching the game while Lin Xia had already won several rounds.

Hearing the knock at the door, Meirou, who was in the living room, got up to open it.

Hua Yongbing held items in both of his hands, his face bearing an apologetic smile, "Sister Shao!"

When Meirou saw that it was Hua Yongbing standing outside the door, her feelings were complex.

After all, she was familiar with Hua Yongbing.

But the fact that his sister had almost harmed her grandchildren was abhorrent and unforgivable!

She said coldly, "My father said he will not see you! You must also be aware of what your sister has done! There is nothing to discuss with someone who almost harmed our children!"

Shao Chengzhi had previously instructed Meirou that if Hua Yongbing came, he would not see him!

And he wanted Meirou to pass on his message, that henceforth, there would be no association whatsoever between him and Hua Yongbing!

"Sister Shao! Look what happened! I truly didn’t know anything about this!"

"Enough! Don’t say anymore! There’s no need! You should leave!" Meirou didn’t want to take her anger out on Hua Yongbing, but she couldn’t show him any kindness either.

Seeing Meirou’s resolute attitude, Hua Yongbing had no choice but to leave reluctantly.

Shao Chengzhi played a nine of bamboo and looking at the approaching Meirou, asked, "What took so long? Didn’t I tell you?

If he comes, just say I won’t see him, and henceforth our Shao Family will have nothing to do with their family!"

Shao Chengzhi’s dissatisfaction with the Meng Family and Hua Yongbing had reached its limit!

Their scheming behind the scenes almost harmed his great-grandson, how could he simply let bygones be bygones?

His choice not to see Hua Yongbing was also to avoid wasting words and stirring up unnecessary anger.

Seeing her father’s angry, red-faced and thick-necked appearance, Meirou hurriedly tried to placate him with a smile, "Dad! Calm down! Are you about to go off the handle?"

Shao Chengzhi lowered his eyes and didn’t say anything further, focusing intensely on the mahjong tiles in front of him.

Lin Xia and Lin Chun exchanged glances before shifting their gaze away, taking turns cheering up Shao Chengzhi.

The time spent together was always brief, as Lin Chun’s workplace would resume normal operations on the sixth day of the lunar month.

Before departing, Lin Chun privately discussed with Lin Xia, "Xiaoxia! Here’s what I’m thinking. If Dongzi cannot stay in the school dormitory once school starts, we just won’t let him stay there!

Now that the Meng kid has caused so much trouble, several members of his family have been incarcerated, and sharing a dorm with him definitely won’t do!

We are all kind-hearted and harbor no ill intentions, but what if that kid covertly harms him? We’d have nowhere to cry if we regret it later!"

The big sister usually stays out of town with Lu Zheng, and he and Lin Qiu are in Ji City, so they can’t do much for Lin Dong.

With such a ticking time bomb close to Lin Dong, they couldn’t help but feel anxious and worried about his safety.

Lin Xia and Lu Zheng had already discussed this matter, "Lu Zheng and I feel the same way! It’s best to find him a place to live near the school and have someone protect him! We can’t let him face such danger again!

Big brother, he is having his friend look for a suitable house, and we will definitely find one before Dongzi starts school!"

Lin Xia’s current health condition wouldn’t allow it, nor would Lu Zheng agree to let her fatigue herself with these arrangements.

Additionally, it coincided with the New Year holidays; otherwise, given her temperament, she would have been actively searching for a house for Lin Dong.

Lin Chun was delighted to hear this, "That’s great! As for the person to protect Dongzi, our grandfather had already found someone before the New Year!

It’s a friend of his assistant Jiu Yuan, who is well-known, skilled in martial arts, and we will provide his salary!"

Lin Xia had not heard Lin Chun mention this, "Okay! Big Brother! Why didn’t you tell me about this before?"

"I just hadn’t brought it up yet. It’s not too late to discuss it now!" Lin Chun couldn’t help but offer a few more words of advice, "Xiaoxia! You and Lu Zheng should treat each other well! He does everything as you wish, don’t go too far!"

During the two days he spent living with his siblings, he could see that ever since his big sister got pregnant, her temper had changed significantly. Lu Zheng truly doted on her. Whatever she said goes, almost making him a man without temper.

Lin Xia was both amused and moved, it seemed Lu Zheng was doing too well, making even her big brother speak on his behalf.

"Big Brother! Whose side are you on? Am I not your own sister?"

"Of course I’m on your side! You’ll always be my own sister!" Lin Chun paused, then grinned, "But Lu Zheng is my brother-in-law, isn’t he! I have to speak some fair words for him, even if it means not siding completely with my own kin!"

Lin Xia playfully blinked, "Alright! I’ll definitely follow my big brother’s advice and treat him a bit better, okay?"

"More than okay!" Lin Chun laughed heartily, "Also, Xiaoxia, take extra care of yourself. You’re carrying two babies, so be extra careful in everything!"

"Don’t worry! Big Brother! I’ll definitely take good care of myself!" Lin Xia looked at her elder brother who had grown another year older after the New Year, and carefully suggested,

"Big Brother! Now that the New Year has passed and you’ve aged another year, if someone introduces a suitable person at work or elsewhere, you should consider going on a blind date to find us a sister-in-law!"

Lin Xia felt she was currently very happy, and she also wanted her big brother to find his own happiness soon!

Lin Chun was a bit embarrassed and scratched the back of his head, "Don’t worry about that! If I meet the right person, I’ll definitely pursue it!"

Lin Xia and Lu Zheng saw off Lin Chun and the others, and they started packing their things to catch the train back home.

Though Hua Yongfang and Meng Chaojie hadn’t been sentenced for long, it was certain they had lost their secure jobs!

The man who sold the medicine, after some complications, was also identified. This man had a past record of fraud and was skilled in creating superstitious beliefs.

These three people received their deserved punishments, and that wasn’t the end.

Lu Zheng also had someone relocate Meng Chaoran, Hua Yongfang’s husband, from the provincial city to a remote and backward locality.
