258: Chapter 257: Introducing a Suitor 258: Chapter 257: Introducing a Suitor Madam Wu sighed, “Dahong, mom knows that Lin Qiu is a good girl, but I’m just afraid that if she gets into a relationship, and it doesn’t work out in the end…
Lin Xia is not like Lin Qiu, if it becos troubleso later on…”
“We usually see Lin Xia smiling before she even speaks, but who would have thought she could send her own father to a ntal hospital?
How cruel and ruthless must one be to do such a thing?”
And their father, having such a father-in-law in the future, our family, especially the youngsters…”
Wu Zhenghong was quite surprised when she first heard about this, but after pondering over it;
Stepmother and biological father, they had even lived separately, there must be complications to the situation, maybe she was pushed too far!
“Mom!
Whether it works out or not is not for us to say, it’s up to Xiaolin and Lin Qiu.
Besides, that father-in-law won’t be around, there are still two sons to take care of the elderly, why worry so much!”
Madam Wu really felt that her second daughter didn’t share her concerns, “You child!
If I don’t think things through now, it will be too late to regret once the two of them start a relationship!
Getting married and living together isn’t just about the two young people, there’s also whether they’ll stay in touch with her family or not…
These are all factors.”
With such a troubleso in-law, could we live a peaceful life in the future?
Wu Zhenghong nodded impatiently, “Alright!
Mom!
You think it through!
Anyway, I think Lin Qiu is quite good!
Pretty and nice temperant, she can earn money too, even more than Xiaolin, I’m sure their life will get better and better…”
She could see that Lin Qiu wasn’t the kind of person to make a fuss without reason, having such a sister-in-law, the future relationship could be harmonious, so she was very supportive of the two being together.
Madam Wu got up helplessly, “I’ll think over it more!”
This matter, now that her son hadn’t spoken to her directly, she still had ti to consider it further.
When the ti ca for her son to tell her directly, she could only…
On the other hand, Lin Xia, who had not received any more letters from her second brother, had not shown her worry in front of Madam Zhao, but she was indeed concerned.
Before, she thought that her second brother had written to the family.
But the current situation in Ji City was sothing she couldn’t contact him about for a while.
Lin Xia had no choice but to send a letter to Jiang Mingyuan right away, asking him to reply to her and the family upon receipt, to prevent worry.
Wu Zhengyang brought up the topic of wanting to date Lin Qiu to Madam Wu just a few days later.
Madam Wu said all that needed to be said, but she couldn’t stop her son.
As much as she had reservations, as the elder, she couldn’t outstubborn the younger.
Having no choice, she reluctantly asked Sun Nan’s wife from the small store across the street to act as the matchmaker.
Sun Nan’s wife, nad Wang Lan, was an eloquent speaker, and since she opened the store, there was a constant stream of people coming to chat.
So, she was already well aware of the fact that the Wu Family’s eldest son took a fancy to Lin Qiu from across the street.
“Sister-in-law!
You just relax!
As soon as her sister cos back, I’ll talk to her about it!”
They all knew that it was the elder sister of that household across the street who had the final say.
“Wang Lan, I’ll leave this matter to you then!”
After whispering to each other for a while, Madam Wu left the store.
Madam Wu deliberately glanced into Lin Qiu’s store and saw her bent over working on the sewing machine.
Truth be told, she quite liked Lin Qiu, who was pretty and had a good personality, but indeed, the family situation was a bit complicated.
Setting aside her estranged father and stepmother, just her sister Lin Xia alone was trouble enough.
Before she found out what was going on, she used to think Lin Xia was a very amiable person.
Now, hearing about those things, she truly felt that having such a tough and cruel sister, any conflict in the future could turn ugly, and she worried her own family might suffer.
But who could stop Xiaolin when she was willing?
She had said everything she could, yet he still wanted to date Lin Qiu.
So she had no choice but to stop insisting, after all, a commotion would not be good since they were neighbors and others could overhear if things got out of hand.
Madam Wu sighed quietly before she entered her house.
When Lin Xia returned, Wang Lan called her over to say a few words.
Wang Lan pulled Lin Xia into her small shop, which was fortunately empty at the ti.
“Xiaolin, Auntie has a piece of good news for you!”
“What good news?” Lin Xia asked with a faint smile, standing beside the counter.
At that mont, Lin Qiu, who saw her sister being called into the shop, felt as nervous as if her heart were pounding a drum, and her hands, which were threading a buttonhole, stopped.
Actually, she had seen everything when Madam Wu visited the Sun Family.
Inside the shop, Wang Lan lifted her eyebrows with a smile, “Auntie is thinking of setting up a match for your sister!”
“Is that so, who is it?”
“Wu Family’s eldest son!
You know the lad, you’ve seen him coming and going, he’s good-looking, has a pleasant disposition and also manages personnel at the machinery factory…”
Wang Lan listed all of Wu Zhengyang’s virtues, speaking nothing but praises.
Lin Xia listened with glee, wondering if this was the way of all matchmakers and go-betweens.
“Auntie, let consult my sister’s opinion first!
If she agrees to et, I’ll get back to you!”
Lin Xia knew what Lin Qiu was thinking, but she couldn’t just nod in agreent in front of others without even inquiring her sister, as that would clearly signal that Lin Qiu was particularly eager, wouldn’t it?
To what end when things too easily obtained are not treasured?
“Alright then!
Auntie will wait for your ssage!” Wang Lan sent Lin Xia out of the shop with a warm smile.
Lin Xia walked into the store and saw Lin Qiu standing up from the sewing machine, her eyes shining brightly at her.
“Sister!
What did she tell you?”
Lin Xia didn’t beat around the bush, getting close to her sister and sharing what the person opposite had just ntioned.
“She wants to introduce you to Wu Zhengyang!
Do you agree?”
“Sister!
You know…
I…” Lin Qiu shyly lowered her head.
She liked Wu Zhengyang, but couldn’t help feeling inferior, and after overhearing others gossip about her and Wu Zhengyang, she beca even more timid about getting close to him.
Now that his family had actually sent soone to make a proposal, she was at a loss for words to describe her feelings, which were a mix of various emotions along with joy.
Lin Xia, caressing her sister’s shiny black hair, felt emotional, realizing her sister had grown up and was about to be involved in a courtship.
This ti, it wasn’t the scoundrel from her previous life, Wu Zhengyang seed like a good young man, and she was really happy for her sister.
But there were so things she had to say beforehand.
Lin Xia spoke softly, “Xiaoqiu, I know what’s in your heart!
But I still need to warn you about sothing, I have no objections to you two dating, as long as you think it’s good.
However, you must rember one thing, when facing him and his family, there’s no need to belittle yourself.
Be confident and stand tall, you are in no way less worthy than him!”
Lin Xia wasn’t afraid of anything except her sister losing herself due to falling in love, reducing herself to the dust.
Habit is a terrifying thing, especially in courtship and marriage, the baseline you set is what you’ll live with.
Once a pattern is established, changing it becos difficult.
