Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 776 - 775 What Do You Mean?
Chapter 776: Chapter 775 What Do You Mean?
Lin Xia and Lin Dong didn’t go back immediately, and spent the next day having a meal with the family of Lin Chun’s prospective partner.
The household of Gu Chengya was one of literary refinement, and her parents both appeared amiable and polite.
During the meal, everyone had pleasant conversations.
Gu Chengya’s parents expressed to Lin Xia that they wished for Lin Chun and their daughter to spend more time getting to know each other before discussing marriage.
Actually, Lin Xia was eager to see her elder brother get married soon, but she had asked for his opinion in advance, and he was not eager to marry so soon either.
Now that Gu Chengya’s parents said this, Lin Xia naturally took the opportunity to agree, indicating that their family had the same intention.
Not long after Lin Xia and her brother returned from Ji City, Lin Dong’s school began its summer vacation.
Lin Xia felt incredibly happy and delighted about her brother’s vacation; at least she didn’t have to constantly worry about him being schemed against.
Lin Dong went to the garment factory to find Lin Xia, hoping to discuss with her where to spend the summer holiday.
"Big sister! I don’t want to spend my summer vacation at Grandpa’s place! Can I come help out at your factory? I’m strong and I can work, I can carry and deliver goods!"
Lin Xia put down the pen in her hand; she didn’t want her brother to come help out at the factory.
She refused with a smile, "No way! You finally have a break, so you should relax and enjoy it!
I have delivery people here; I don’t need your help! You should go to Grandpa’s house, that way I can have some peace of mind!"
Lin Xia felt sorry for her brother, who not only had to study hard at school but also had to be constantly vigilant and guard against Meng Xiangnan.
Thus, now that it was the summer holiday, she wanted her brother to unwind and have some fun.
Lin Dong felt disappointed and slumped his shoulders, "Big sister! Please let me help out here! It’s no fun at Grandpa’s place!
Elder brother goes to work, and after work, he goes out on dates with Gu Chengya to watch movies! If I go there, do you think he’ll take me along? If he does, won’t I be shining too bright as a third wheel?
Second sister always stays at Grandpa’s house, keeping Grandma company by watching TV, gardening, and tending to the vegetable patch! When Kang comes to see her, they too go out on dates and have fun!
Think about it, if I go there, who will I play with? It’s better to stay here with you, and I’ll feel like doing some work is more meaningful!"
Lin Xia thought about it and realized her brother was now a young man, not the little child he used to be.
She agreed without much choice, "Alright! If you want to help, then help! But remember, there are people in charge of things in the factory, if you see something that doesn’t seem right, just tell me privately!"
Since Lin Xia had entrusted the management of the factory to Liang Wei, she normally wouldn’t interfere too much.
She always believed in trusting those you employ and not employing those you distrust, and if you really want to rely on someone, you have to be bold in delegating authority.
"Got it! I know!" Lin Dong said with a big, happy smile, "Big Sister! I’m going to go outside and wander around first!"
"Go ahead! Oh, by the way, Liang sister’s son is also on summer vacation! They have a TV at home; you can go watch TV there!"
After giving these instructions, Lin Xia returned to her own work.
A week later, Liang Wei suddenly thanked Lin Xia profusely.
"Lin Xia! I really need to thank you and your brother tremendously!"
"Hmm?" Her words left Lin Xia perplexed, "Liang Sister! Why thank us?"
She was always out and about and also had to go home to breastfeed, so she spent little time in the factory, only coming by occasionally.
Whenever she came by, she saw her brother either in the office or wandering around the workshop, or watching TV at Liang Wei’s place; she hadn’t seen him do anything significant!
Liang Wei smiled with pursed lips, "Actually, ever since Wenfeng transferred to this school, he has struggled to keep up with his studies!"
The quality of education from where we’re from just can’t compare to the city! He’s a very driven child and has a lot of ambition; he studies late into the night every day, but his grades just don’t improve!"
I’ve been quite anxious about it! But I wasn’t good at studying when I was in school, so I can’t tutor him well either.
After your brother came to the factory for the summer vacation, he hung out with my son when he had free time and even tutored him! These past few days, my son has been saying that studying doesn’t feel as difficult anymore! Many problems are much easier to solve using the methods your brother taught him!"
Liang Wei was truly grateful beyond words!
Her son is her very life, her future!
Which parent doesn’t wish for their child to soar? She, more than anyone else, has placed all her hopes and effort on her son!
Lin Xia didn’t think that what her brother had done was anything significant!
"Hey, Liang Wei! You’re really too polite! He’s already in college, so tutoring your son is only right, isn’t it?"
Liang Wei shook her head, her expression sincere, "Lin Xia! It’s not like that at all! I’m truly very grateful to you all! Your family is full of good people! I really wish I could do something for you!"
Unfortunately, she had just started working recently and didn’t have much ability or financial resources to do something to express her gratitude.
Lin Xia felt deeply moved by these words, understanding Liang Wei’s desire to thank them in some way, just as she had felt when her godmother asked Jiang Mingqing to tutor Lin Dong, and she wanted to treat them to a meal with all her heart.
"Liang Wei! How about this! If you really want to do something, then cook us something delicious!"
Liang Wei, who lives with her child in the factory, cooks every day, and even the two people Lu Zheng found had insisted on paying board so Liang Wei could cook extra.
Lin Xia had tasted the meals made by Liang Wei before, and they were really delicious.
Liang Wei gladly nodded in agreement, "Okay! Then I’ll go buy groceries!"
Lin Xia watched Liang Wei rush out of the office like a gust of wind and shook her head with a smile. It seemed that as long as someone had something to do and goals and hopes in their heart, they were infused with an incredible energy.
The Liang Wei of now was unrecognizable from the woman who first arrived in the city; she had become beautiful, confident, and even her eyes sparkled with vitality!
Lin Xia was happy to see such a change in Liang Wei.
In the blink of an eye, it was the first birthday of Lin Xia’s two treasures, Jingjing and Keke.
They had decided in advance to eat out at a restaurant rather than fuss with cooking at home.
Close friends and relatives of both the Shao and Lu families gathered, with several tables set up at the restaurant.
When Lin Dong arrived, he was accompanied by Liang Wei and Cheng Wenfeng.
Lu Zheng and Lin Xia arranged for the three of them to sit at the Shao Family’s table.
Shao Xingbang took several interested glances at the woman sitting diagonally opposite him; he had recently heard his sister Shao Meirou mention that Xiaozheng had brought the widow and child of a deceased good friend to live in the city, and now they were working at Lin Xia’s factory.
To his surprise, this first meeting revealed to him that there was something unique about this woman.
After the meal, Shao Xingbang sought out Shao Meirou alone to inquire about Liang Wei and her son.
Shao Meirou asked with suspicion, "Xingbang, what are you implying? You’re not interested in her, are you...?"
Shao Meirou knew Liang Wei was a catch, a good person with a pleasant personality, and very capable, currently a significant asset to her daughter-in-law’s career.
But she couldn’t accept her brother bringing home a widow with a child!
