Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 775 - 774: Discussing the Wedding Date!

Lin Xia had already had someone tidy up and arrange the room simply before; there was a bed, some luggage, and a basin, desk, chairs, and stools.

"Sister-in-law! Due to the time constraints, I’ve only managed a simple setup. You two stay here first, and if there’s anything you need, just let me know!"

Liang Wei was very grateful, and her eyes were moist. "Lu Zheng! Sister-in-law! Thank you so much! This is really great! There’s no need to trouble yourselves further!"

Liang Wei and her son Cheng Wenfeng were both satisfied with the environment, as it was much better than where they had lived before.

Lin Xia could tell that Liang Wei was a reasonable person, and she too was pleased. "That’s good! You should rest early too. Tomorrow we’ll come over and go through the school transfer process together!"

"Alright!" Liang Wei, accompanied by Cheng Wenfeng, stepped out to see their guests off and thanked them once more, "Thank you, both of you!"

Her husband had been gone for many years, and Lu Zheng, being a good buddy, had already helped her and her son so much! She wouldn’t have asked if it weren’t for her son.

Lin Xia waved her hand with a smile. "Sister-in-law! Don’t be formal with us! You should head back and get some rest!"

On their way back, Lin Xia and Lu Zheng chatted casually.

"Has the child always been like this?" Lin Xia saw the issue right away.

The child may indeed have a naturally timid disposition, but it also has a lot to do with Liang Wei’s upbringing as his mother.

Lu Zheng sighed, "He used to be a very smart kid! Just a bit introverted! I haven’t seen them for several years now!"

He still felt he hadn’t done enough; sending money occasionally but not genuinely caring for the mother and son’s lives.

Lin Xia encouraged him optimistically, "Xiaozheng, don’t feel guilty! They’ve already come, haven’t they? Let’s settle them in first!

Perhaps the kid will change after he gets accustomed to the new environment. Look at Dongzi, for example!

Back in our hometown when he was in school, everyone knew about our family’s situation, so they looked down on him, and only Haizi would play with him!

But after he transferred to the city’s school, you can see how obvious his transformation has been!"

A smile finally graced Lu Zheng’s face, "Right! Perhaps things will get better with a change of environment! Wife! I’ve discovered that you’re really good at giving advice!"

Lin Xia tossed her head proudly, "Of course! My way with words is no ordinary talent!"

The two shared a laugh, filling the car with joy and a sweet atmosphere.

The next day, Lu Zheng and Lin Xia took the mother and son duo to take care of the school transfer.

The school had been chosen in advance and wasn’t far from the garment factory.

On a regular school day, the child could walk there in just over ten minutes.

After arranging the school transfer, Cheng Wenfeng officially attended school the following day.

Liang Wei also began to work, as arranged by Lin Xia.

She was very diligent, deft, and skillful; any task given to her was always well completed.

Lin Xia had even privately mentioned to Lu Zheng that one must be kind-hearted, for kindness brings good rewards; she had fortuitously found herself an excellent employee.

Gradually, Lin Xia began to leave the factory management to Liang Wei while she focused on running business outside.

One day, Lin Qiu suddenly called Lin Xia.

It turned out that Kang Yijun’s family wanted the two families to meet to discuss the marriage.

Lin Xia had sensed this before, as she had seen her sister and Kang Yijun getting along well, and had privately asked them about their future plans.

Lin Qiu’s attitude was to go with the flow and consider the Kang Family’s opinion.

It was inconvenient to meet and discuss these matters during the last Tomb Sweeping Day when they went to relocate their mother’s grave.

With Lu Zheng away on a business trip and unlikely to return soon, Lin Xia had no choice but to take her brother, Lin Dong, to their grandfather’s place.

This was Lin Xia’s first time meeting Kang Yijun’s family; all of them appeared together.

Kang Yijun’s father had not retired yet and was still working hard at his job.

His mother, Peng Zhiyi, was the principal of a school, beautiful with a gentle and easygoing demeanor, yet also exuding competence.

The younger sister, Kang Yijing, worked at a design institute, had a delicate and graceful appearance, and was obviously the type with a good temperament,

while the younger brother, Kang Yichen, was currently a junior in college.

There were quite a few people on Lin Xia’s side as well, including Qin Zeming and his partner, as well as Qin Ziheng’s whole family.

Since Qin Zeming resented Lin Aiguo and his family, he didn’t want to inform them about today’s meeting.

Lin Qiu understood her grandfather’s feelings and obediently refrained from mentioning her own father’s side of the family.

Zuo Shimao, the eldest uncle’s wife, and Peng Zhiyi were good friends; they livelied up the atmosphere during the meal as everyone chatted and enjoyed themselves.

After conversing, Lin Xia really felt that the Kang Family was quite nice, and their family traditions were also admirable.

At least from the surface, they didn’t appear to be unreasonable.

Knowing that Lin Qiu could marry into such a family, Lin Xia finally felt at ease.

After so much time had passed, Lin Xia no longer wanted to think about Wu Zhengyang or the Wu Family, whom Lin Qiu had been engaged to before.

Before everyone arrived, they all knew what the gathering was for, so after a few rounds of drinks and courses of food, they started discussing the main topic.

In the end, they agreed that the wedding date for Lin Qiu and Kang Yijun would be set after the National Day holiday.

Kang Yijun would be very busy during the National Day period, so the preparations for their wedding would be entirely managed by his family.

Lin Qiu’s side would also need to make some preparations.

Lin Xia and Lin Dong went to live in the house that Lin Chun had bought.

Laughter and conversation could occasionally be heard from the rooms of Lin Chun and Lin Dong, just like Lin Xia and Lin Qiu were chatting.

"Xiaoqiu! You’ll be getting married in a few months! Before you get married, I’ll give you all the money you’ve saved up these years! I’ll also prepare some dowry for you."

Lin Qiu disagreed, "Sister! I won’t need to use that money. You should keep it! You’re doing business now; in case you need liquidity, it can be helpful."

Lin Xia laughed and cried, "Silly sister! Even if I need liquidity, I can’t use your money! I have money! My husband and his friends’ company pays dividends every year!"

"Then why do you work so hard at the garment factory?" Lin Qiu didn’t know these things, as she thought her brother-in-law’s family was well-off, but she assumed her sister also wanted to earn her own money.

Lin Xia patiently lectured her younger sister, "Xiaoqiu! Even if we women are married, we can’t just stay at home as housewives!

It may be okay for a short while, but if it goes on for too long, how do you think it feels to ask someone for money? And when you spend it, it doesn’t feel right!

Kang Yijun’s job means he can’t be at home all the time, so what will you do during your free time? Just sit around and daydream? That’s so boring!

So, I have a suggestion! After you get married, don’t just think about revolving around him all day! You should have your own thing!

Even if it doesn’t make much, you can stand tall and say, ’I earned this money, and I can spend it however I want!’"

Lin Qiu nodded, taking the lesson to heart, "I understand! Sister! I’ll also get into some suitable business someday!"

"That’s right! Xiaoqiu, remember, you should always have your own career. That way, you’ll have things to do, goals to strive for, and you won’t feel empty!"

"Sister! What kind of business do you think I should start? I don’t want any demanding work!" Lin Qiu was eager for her sister’s advice.

An idea struck Lin Xia, "Then you could open a clothing store and sell ready-to-wear clothes; I’ll ship the products to you! It’ll even save you the trouble of stocking up!"

The sisters happily settled on this plan.
