317: Chapter 316 Right and Proper 317: Chapter 316 Right and Proper But Lin Xia felt there were so things she should take the opportunity to discuss with her younger sister, “Xiaoqiu!
Let’s talk about these things later!
You did the right thing by refusing, after all, you’ve only been dating for less than a year, and there are so things you still don’t fully understand!
You should really spend more ti together when dating to thoroughly understand each other and their families before thinking about marriage!
Even though we live next door to each other, behind closed doors, who knows what their family is really like?
Moreover, you see, Wu Zhengyang has two older sisters, Wu Zhenghong seems alright now, but we’ve never interacted with his eldest sister;
When it really cos to marriage, with a mother-in-law and two elder sisters-in-law, it’s like three won in one drama, they’ll be on the sa side, and if you’re not tough, it’s easy to be bullied or plotted against!”
What she said was definitely not scaremongering, before getting married everyone pretends, you can’t see through them on the surface, only when you really start living together can you see the undercurrents flowing beneath.
Xiaoqiu was dumbfounded by what Lin Xia said, “Sis!
It can’t be that scary, can it?
I think Wu’s mother and sister Hong are quite nice!” They treated her well, and sotis when they had sothing tasty at ho, they would send her a portion over here.
Lin Xia pinched her cheek, “Silly girl, what’s the use of just appearing nice?
You haven’t married into their family yet.
Once you do, things might not stay the sa!”
She observed coldly; even Wu’s mother was soone who loved to sche.
Without close contact, it was indeed difficult to see through people, proving the saying ‘ti reveals a person’s heart’ to be very true.
But at least for now, Wu Zhengyang seed pretty good, and she couldn’t stop her sister from continuing to see him just because she noticed his mother was a bit calculating.
However, the advice that needed to be given still had to be said.
“So what should I do, sis!
You know I’m not good at playing mind gas!” Xiaoqiu had not really thought deeply about it before; she felt that as long as she and Wu Zhengyang were good, that was all that mattered.
But now, looking back on so things, she realized her sister’s words made sense.
Seeing that Xiaoqiu was really listening, Lin Xia decided to say a few more words, “Let tell you, never treat them like family, don’t confide in them, just get along like acquaintances…
When interacting with them, learn to refuse when you should, and don’t indulge them when you shouldn’t!
When it really cos to the day you get married, always keep the money in your own hands…
If there really cos a day when things are unbearable, what is there to fear if you have money?
What kind of man can’t you find?”
From the very beginning, Lin Xia had been constantly instilling these ideas in her sister, to ensure she wouldn’t follow the sa old path of their previous life, and it seed to be sowhat effective so far.
But it wasn’t enough!
Xiaoqiu was just not a ruthless or determined person at heart.
Among the siblings, she was the one Lin Xia was most worried about.
Xiaoqiu had an epiphany, “Sis!
Don’t worry!
I will definitely keep a tight grip on my own money.”
That day, Lin Xia received a package from Lu Zheng, and upon opening it, she found a pink woolen sweater.
Looking at the soft pink color, Lin Xia liked it, but felt the color was too light.
“How could I wear this color!
It’s not dirt-resistant!” She wouldn’t wear it casually, unless there wasn’t much to do, as she really feared getting the cuffs dirty.
“Sis!
Lu really knows how to shop, this color is so pretty, you’ll definitely look good in it!” Xiaoqiu liked it at first glance, but she also understood, whether for her or her sister, who was busy every day, this color was indeed not very practical.
Lin Xia stroked the warm and comfortable sleeves, “He really knows how to choose!
The sweater I’m knitting for him isn’t finished yet!
I’ll have to speed up!”
She hadn’t really had much downti since Lu Zheng left.
After hiring two people for the greenhouse, she opened a costics store.
Just as the store was getting on track, a competitor opened up diagonally across, keeping her extrely busy.
Lin Xia decided to give Lu Zheng a call to hear his voice.
Love is sotis an arcane thing that is indescribable and ineffable.
Separated by such great distances, whenever she was not busy, longing shadowed her like a constant companion.
She believed that it must be the sa for him.
This was still the first ti she had called him.
When she heard Lu Zheng’s low and magnetic voice on the other end of the line, “Hello!”
Lin Xia couldn’t help but curl her lips upward, “Hello!” she elongated the greeting.
Lu Zheng couldn’t resist a laugh, “Finally decided to call ?
Has the wool sweater arrived?
Do you like it?” He estimated that the timing should be about right; otherwise, this young lady would not have even made a single call to him.
The voice of Lu Zheng that ca out of the handset was sowhat different than usual.
Even deeper, and it even carried a slight tremble.
She didn’t know why, but just hearing his voice made her feel very content.
Though connected by a re phone line, she felt as if they were very close to each other at that mont.
“Yes!
I like it!
But why are you spending money so recklessly again?
Don’t buy anything next ti!” Lin Xia knew that wool sweaters were expensive, costing several hundred apiece.
How much could his monthly salary be?
Ever since their relationship was confird, he had bought her watches, brooches, and now a wool sweater.
The total cost of these gifts weighed heavily on her conscience.
“You are my girlfriend, isn’t it only right for to buy things for you?
Moreover, you knitted a sweater for ; I also want to give you one, but since I can’t knit, I had to buy one instead!” Lu Zheng explained with a light laugh, imagining what Lin Xia’s expression must be at that mont.
In his mory, the young lady always looked serious and intense when scolding soone, which was quite convincing.
If he were standing in front of her, she would certainly be pointing at his nose and lecturing him.
Lin Xia imagined soone like him knitting a sweater and found it utterly ludicrous, “You are really sothing!
But the color is so light; I wouldn’t dare wear it normally!”
“Oh?
Then I’ll buy you a darker one next ti!” Lu Zheng had not thought too much about it when he made the purchase; he had felt at first glance that the delicate, milky color would look beautiful on Lin Xia.
Lin Xia didn’t want Lu Zheng to waste money, “Lu Zheng!
I’m telling you seriously, don’t buy anymore!
I’ll really be angry if you do!”
“Alright!
I’ll listen to you!” Lu Zheng compromised in words for the ti being, though he naturally had other thoughts in his heart.
“That’s more like it!
Oh, and Lu Zheng, the sweater I’m knitting for you isn’t finished yet!” Lin Xia felt apologetic as she realized that even if she hurried, she might just finish it by the ti of the Chinese New Year.
“I’ve said there’s no rush!
Take your ti knitting it!
Have you been very busy lately?”
“Yes!
I’ve been at that new store every day, so it’s been quite busy!” Lin Xia held the phone tightly in one hand while twirling the cord with the other, “How about you?
Have you been busy with work?”
Their regular correspondence included updates about her store’s early days, which she had ntioned in her letters to him.
However, she didn’t bring up the matter of Lin Yu opening a store just opposite hers, fearing it would worry him.
“It’s going fine!
Except that I really miss you,” Lu Zheng suddenly asked, “Xiaoxia!
Do you miss ?”
Before Lin Xia had agreed to date him, it had been sowhat bearable for him, but now that his girlfriend was far away, how could he help but miss her imnsely.
“Um…” Lin Xia was using a public telephone and felt too embarrassed to confess her longing under the old man’s scrutinizing gaze.
Lu Zheng teased deliberately, “What does ‘um’ an?
Do you miss or not?”
Lin Xia, helpless, “I’m not at a convenient place!
The forr!” Her voice carried an unwitting tenderness.
“Hehe…” Laughter ca through the receiver, and Lin Xia smiled, pursing her lips.
She liked his laughter…
