Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 780 - 779: Is There a Need to Consider?

Upon mentioning the deceased Cheng Yibin, Liang Wei’s face was shadowed by a tinge of sadness.

Because there was no man in the family to stand firm behind her and her son, they faced too many injustices and grievances.

Although much time had passed since those events, many things still prevented her from letting go.

Lin Xia comforted her, "Don’t worry! Wenfeng will definitely get into university!"

Cheng Wenfeng, though somewhat introverted, was truly sensible and aspired to improve himself.

Lin Dong had once confided to Lin Xia that the child was actually very intelligent, but perhaps the teaching methods used by his previous teachers were flawed, and the educational quality in their area was not as good as in the provincial capital, which might explain why the child found learning challenging.

Liang Wei smiled faintly, "Lin Xia! I’ll take your auspicious words to heart! In this life, I truly have no great dreams. I also don’t want to think too much about myself; my greatest wish is just to see Wenfeng succeed!

As long as he does well for himself, I feel that no hardship is too great!"

In her heart, Lin Xia felt her uncle might be up against a significant obstacle.

As they chatted, Liang Wei and Lin Xia opened up, and Liang Wei talked about her relationship with Cheng Yibin and how she had managed with her child over the years.

There wasn’t much love between Liang Wei and Cheng Yibin; they had met through a matchmaker!

In the two years from their first meeting to their engagement and marriage, they had only met a few times, with their interactions being brief and mostly through letters. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Soon after they got married and Liang Wei gave birth to Cheng Wenfeng, Cheng Yibin sustained serious injuries while trying to save someone, and by the time the news of his death reached home, Liang Wei felt as though the sky had collapsed!

Fortunately, with her son by her side, she found the courage and strength to persevere!

Liang Wei had faced adversity while raising her young child; their journey was fraught with too many difficulties.

Lin Xia was deeply moved upon hearing this. It’s already not easy for a woman to raise a child alone, let alone dealing with the various thoughts and schemes of the husband’s family, which only compounded her troubles.

Luckily, Liang Wei was no pushover; she moved out of her mother-in-law’s home when her child was just a few years old, renting a place in the county town.

Liang Wei did odd jobs here and there, and with Lu Zheng’s financial help, she and her daughter managed to get by.

Shao Xingbang left a "bomb" behind and hurriedly departed, leaving Shao Chengzhi in an awful predicament.

Shao Chengzhi knew his youngest son was serious this time and was seeking his approval by being open and honest.

But Shao Chengzhi found it exceedingly hard to make a decision this time!

In his eyes, even though his youngest son wasn’t young, he certainly shouldn’t be involved with Liang Wei!

Moreover, Liang Wei’s status was somewhat awkward, as she was the widow of his younger son’s close friend!

If he truly gave his nod of approval to his youngest son, their future family relationships would become very complicated!

He also knew that it hadn’t been easy for his grandson to bring Liang Wei and her daughter from their hometown and that Liang Wei’s in-laws were quite troublesome. Once they learned of his youngest son’s relationship with Liang Wei, what would they think?

Lin Xia was unaware that her uncle had already laid his cards on the table with his grandfather.

Caught up with factory matters and Lin Qiu’s dowry, she was working from dawn till dusk and barely had a moment to speak with Shao Chengzhi, so she hadn’t noticed anything was amiss.

It was Shao Meirou who first noticed her father’s troubled face. While tidying his room, she cautiously inquired, "Dad! What’s been bothering you these past few days? I feel like you’re preoccupied with something!"

Since her elderly father moved in with them, he had witnessed the daily growth of his grandchildren, and his mood was usually very jovial.

In the past few days, however, there had been a noticeable change, and even Lu Pengcheng had asked her in private if the old man was dissatisfied with something.

Shao Chengzhi waved his hand, "It’s nothing!" He had not yet figured out an answer for himself and naturally did not want to let his daughter know.

Shao Meirou didn’t believe it, she understood her father’s temperament very well.

"Dad! If there’s anything, you must tell me! Pengcheng was concerned and asked, afraid that there’s some neglect in our care, causing you to be unhappy at home!"

Shao Chengzhi hadn’t expected his slight change of mood to lead his son-in-law to make some conjectures.

"I am very comfortable living here! Tell Pengcheng not to overthink things! It’s just that I have something I can’t decide on! Meirou! Stop cleaning! Sit down! Let’s talk!"

"Okay!" Shao Meirou put down the cleaning rag and happily sat down on the chair beside the bed.

Shao Chengzhi looked out of the window, organizing his thoughts, before he finally began, "Meirou! Your brother has taken a liking to Liang Wei!"

The smile on Shao Meirou’s face cracked bit by bit, instantly replaced by an expression that said, as expected.

"This kid! So he really has taken a liking to her! Dad! Remember on Jingjing and Keke’s birthday, we had a meal at the restaurant? Afterwards, Xingbang asked me about Liang Wei in private, and I felt something was off.

I pressed him to see if he had taken a liking to her, and he denied it to death! But he said some ambiguous things!

I told him that he was just lowering his standards because he was stimulated by what happened with Ji Man, but instead, he said something like if he really met someone to his liking, he wouldn’t care about their circumstances! It turns out this little rascal had been quietly paving the way!"

Shao Chengzhi was bewildered, "There was such a thing? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?"

"I didn’t think it was anything important, so I didn’t mention it! Dad! What did he say to you?" Shao Meirou was frantic, "You definitely can’t agree! It’s impossible for my little brother to end up with a widow with a child if he just searched blindly!

Besides, you’re not unaware of the relationship between Liang Wei and Xiaozheng! How would we manage that relationship in the future?"

Shao Chengzhi told her not to worry, "I didn’t agree! I said I needed to think about it! But that little rascal set a time limit, there are only a few days left! He will definitely come back to get an answer by then!"

Shao Meirou drew out the word "Dad", her voice laced with reproach, "Why didn’t you outright refuse! What’s there to consider? Is it even necessary?

All the girls that were introduced to Xingbang before came from good families and were unmarried. If he wanted to find a divorced woman with a child, would he have waited till now?

Besides, I didn’t see anything special about Liang Wei that day at dinner. It seemed like she didn’t even speak two sentences!"

Shao Meirou really couldn’t understand her brother’s taste anymore, wondering what on earth was going on in his head!

"Meirou! Xingbang might seem flippant, but he’s always had his own ideas deep down!

If I don’t pause for a moment, who knows what big thing he might do? It might be better to drag it out a bit for some extra time."

Only then did Shao Meirou feel relieved, "That’s right! It’s likely just a momentary impulse! Liang Wei isn’t so stunningly beautiful as to make him fall head over heels and not forget her at first sight! I doubt it!

Let’s drag it out and see, I’ll get Lin Xia to feel out Liang Wei’s intentions and see what she thinks!

If she has no interest in Xingbang at all, then with his one-sided enthusiasm, he’ll give up on his own before long!"

Shao Chengzhi was not as optimistic as Shao Meirou. His youngest son was not impulsive; the mere fact that he had brought this up was proof of his determination.

"Okay! Have Lin Xia ask around first! We’ll deal with the little rascal when he comes back!"
