Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 799 - 798: Why?

Shao Meirou was immensely pleased that her brother had finally given up on the thing he had been insisting on.

It wasn’t that she thought Liang Wei was a bad person, but she simply couldn’t accept her brother marrying a widow with a child.

Moreover, what would they call each other if the two really became a couple?

The person who should be calling her ’aunt’ would have to call her ’sister.’

Their Shao Family was quite renowned in the province, and to marry such a sister-in-law was something neither she nor her sisters would feel comfortable with, and she herself would feel embarrassed to mention to anyone who asked.

Lin Xia could understand her uncle’s decision; if it were someone else, they would likely have done the same.

Compared to family ties, love wasn’t always so important.

Besides, Liang Wei hadn’t agreed to be with her uncle, so there wasn’t an issue of betrayal since they weren’t in a relationship.

It was just that... Lin Xia thought of Cheng Wenfeng and wondered whether that child could accept such an outcome.

He was eager for her uncle to become his father!

Shao Meirou glanced at the time, "Lin Xia! You should go to sleep early too! Your dad won’t be back until later tonight. Your uncle said he would stay with him at the hospital!"

"Okay!" Lin Xia suddenly remembered her encounter with Meng Xiangzi at the hospital, "Mom! By the way, when I was leaving the hospital, I ran into Meng Xiangzi! She seemed to be visiting a patient too!"

She could only guess that Meng Xiangzi must have had some relationship with Lu Zheng in a past life, but she couldn’t figure out exactly what it was.

Considering the past grievances between Meng Xiangzi’s family and her own, it was possible that Meng Xiangzi was looking for an opportunity to do something malicious.

"Hua Yongbing’s niece? The one whose family member went to prison?" Shao Meirou still had an impression of Meng Xiangzi; this girl and her mother had done things that were detrimental to her own family.

Meng Xiangzi had set her sights on Shao Meirou’s son and had someone rob Lin Dong, attempting to rid her daughter-in-law of the newly conceived baby.

Meng Xiangzi’s mother, Hua Yongfang, had utilized Fang Youlan and Fang Youzhen, nearly harming her own grandchildren, which deepened Shao Meirou’s hatred for them.

If it hadn’t been for Lin Xia’s insistence on not drinking that strange-tasting chicken soup,

she might never have gotten to meet the adorable Jingjing and Keke.

"Yes, that’s her! Mom! There’s something I forgot to tell you, a few months ago, she opened a clothing factory and started competing with me for business, but then she disappeared without a trace." Lin Xia hadn’t taken this matter seriously before, so she’d forgotten to mention it to her mother-in-law.

"She must have not been able to keep it going! Business isn’t something just anyone can manage!" Shao Meirou was thoroughly disgusted with Meng Xiangzi and, thinking further, could not help but admonish," Lin Xia, those two have been in prison, and I’m sure they’re thinking about how to seek revenge from the shadows! So you have to be very careful when going in and out!"

Their daily activities were generally within the confines of the courtyard, where security was quite high.

Unlike Lin Xia, who was constantly running around outside, especially as a woman, it was sometimes impossible to guard against everything.

"I know! Mom! You too! Considering that my grandfather is in the hospital, please be more cautious as well!" Lin Xia had brought this up specifically out of concern.

"Right! We all need to be more vigilant and not give these bad people a chance!" Shao Meirou too took the matter to heart.

The next day, Lin Xia specifically cooked some meals herself, which her mother-in-law took to the hospital.

She, on the other hand, stayed home to take care of the children.

The hospital was full of germs, and with the two children being so young, both she and her mother-in-law dared not take them there.

If either of the children caught a cold, it would worry them greatly.

Jingjing and Keke, seeing their mother playing with them, were overjoyed.

One moment they asked Lin Xia to help them stack blocks, the next they wanted her to tell stories and sing songs.

Lin Xia truly experienced the difficulty of looking after two children on her own.

In the hospital, Shao Meirou went to wash the lunchboxes and met Hua Yongbing in the corridor.

When they met, they could no longer return to the way things were because of what had happened before.

When Hua Yongbing learned that Shao Chengzhi was hospitalized, he immediately expressed, "I want to visit Old Shao!"

But Shao Meirou flatly refused him, "My dad’s health has just improved a bit! He doesn’t want to see anyone! Forget it! You’re at the hospital for?" She had been on high alert ever since her daughter-in-law mentioned encountering Meng Xiangzi at the hospital.

Hua Yongbing’s expression was obscure, "My mother is ill!"

Shao Meirou politely replied, "Ah! Then I hope she recovers soon!"

"Thank you, Sister Shao!"

When Hua Yongbing returned to the ward, Hua Yongfang was feeding porridge to their mother.

The old lady was very sick, now only able to drink some rice soup.

"Big brother! Is it that old man from the Shao Family who’s hospitalized?"

"How did you know?" Hua Yongbing found it strange. He had just found out from Shao Meirou, so how could his sister know before him?

Hua Yongfang sneered coldly, "What’s so strange about that! Xiangzi ran into that bitch Lin Xia at the hospital entrance and found out by chance!"

Hua Yongbing frowned, "Yongfang! When you have nothing to do, please talk to Xiangzi! Let bygones be bygones! Stop living in hatred all the time! She should also be finding someone to settle down with! Let me know what kind of person she’s looking for, and I’ll keep an eye out for her!"

He knew about the grievance between Meng Xiangzi and Shao Chengzhi’s granddaughter-in-law, but when would such a cycle of revenge ever end?

A young lady, especially a beautiful one, why not find herself a good family to marry into while she can?

Hua Yongfang lowered her eyes and blew on the rice soup in the spoon, "Sigh, big brother! How am I not advising her! But you should also understand, Xiangzi has always been pampered by us, when has she ever suffered like that before.

The child is truly suffering inside. She told me that sometimes she still has nightmares at night, always dreaming about being bullied in jail... and because of these things with our family... you know too... Sigh... If it weren’t for this, would that bastard Old Meng dare to have any crooked ideas? Would his family dare to treat me like that?"

Because Meng Xiangzi had gone to prison and Hua Yongbing had been unable to help, Hua Yongfang was so angry that she ignored Hua Yongbing.

But later, she went in too, causing trouble for her younger sister-in-law, and her in-laws were extremely dissatisfied with her;

The only person in the family who could help her was her big brother, so she once again made peace with Hua Yongbing.

However, she knew in her heart, whether it be her or her daughter, they both held grudges.

No matter what Hua Yongbing did for them now, she felt that it was difficult to remove the barriers from the past.

Hua Yongbing also felt a pang of sadness as he listened, his sister and niece indeed...

"Yongfang! When there’s a chance, I’ll have your sister-in-law talk to her!"

"Alright! That would trouble my sister-in-law then!" Hua Yongfang turned her back to Hua Yongbing and curled the corner of her lips.

"As for Old Meng, I’ll still see what you think!"

Hua Yongfang’s tone carried resentment, "My opinion is to drag him, drag him to death, to let his family be crushed!"

"Alright! I’ll do as you say!"

Hua Yongfang said, "Big brother! Go do your work! I’m here to take care of Mom!"

"Okay! Yongfang! You’ve worked hard! Let me know if you need anything, I’ll have someone go buy it!" Hua Yongbing gave one last instruction before leaving.

"Alright!" Hua Yongfang put down the bowl and saw Hua Yongbing out.

After closing the door to the ward, Hua Yongfang sneered out the window.

Why should her daughter, after losing a bright future and suffering so much, give up her quest for revenge?

Why should she?
