569: Chapter 568: To Each Their Own 569: Chapter 568: To Each Their Own Liu Shuqin was overjoyed that Lin Xia and the others could co back for Chinese New Year.
At the sa ti, she had her own sches up her sleeve.
Now that Lin Xia’s group was the most successful among the family, she naturally wanted her second son and his family to grow closer to them, anticipating many benefits in the future.
Just like how Yu Hongli and Lin Xia had grown closer, which even resolved the issue of finding a partner.
Now, not only had he found such a good-looking wife, but he also moved into an apartnt.
It wasn’t just that her second son’s family was jealous; she felt quite envious too.
Wouldn’t it be great if Lin Fang could find a partner who owned an apartnt?
The next day, Lin Aiye specifically brought over so frozen cabbage.
The old lady, even though the things her second son brought weren’t much, felt happy and grateful.
Then, while Lin Aiguo was in the bathroom, she took the opportunity to bring up that Lin Xia and the others were coming over for the New Year,
“Second son!
This ti, speak nicely with your wife and everyone.
Pay attention when you chat.
Don’t just blurt out anything.
Wanting people to help but not speaking sweetly to please them?
Look at Yu Hongli and your sister, see how they get along with Lin Xia.
If the relationship is handled well, could the benefits be few?” After all, Yu Hongli was a girl from another family; Liu Shuqin thought that having the surna Yu instead of Lin, helping so much was pointless.
She always thought about getting Lin Xia to help Lin Gang and his family too.
As it stood, things weren’t going well for the family of the second son, Lin Gang and Lin Fang.
Not to ntion Lin Gang was poor, Lin Fang didn’t even have a partner.
She had been working under the na of Lin Xia since she ca up from the countryside, yet she hadn’t t the right match yet.
Since Lin Xia was in business and knew many people, she always wanted her to introduce a partner, but she hadn’t agreed.
If during the New Year the relationships were well managed and tensions eased, wouldn’t introducing a partner be a piece of cake?
Lin Aiye nodded repeatedly, showing he was listening, “I got it!
Mom, don’t worry.
I’ll definitely remind them when I get back.
We’re sure to handle this relationship well.
Now that we’ve also moved downhill, we’ll definitely need Big Brother’s help in the future.”
Ever since Liu Shuqin had moved into the eldest son’s house, she had less to worry about and lived a content life, which made her speech more generous.
“He’s your own big brother; we’re all family, so there’s nothing too troubleso!
But Lin Xia is stubborn.
Tell Lin Fang to sweeten her tongue and not always speak those sarcastic words.
With her attitude, would Lin Xia be willing to diate or help her?”
Just then, Lin Aiguo ca in, a half-smoked cigarette dangling from his lips, catching the end of the conversation.
Now that his children were successful, he spoke with confidence in front of his relatives.
However, he really wasn’t keen on Lin Xia ddling in the affairs of the second son’s family.
Not to ntion other things, just take Lin Fang’s marital issues—after all, they were not like Yu Hongli.
Yu Hongli was a boy he had watched grow up, and even if he was introduced to soone and got married, whether he lived well or not, he wouldn’t bla others.
But it would be different with his younger brother’s family; they could end up blaming others if things went wrong.
Little did Lin Xia know, she had already beco the topic of discussion before she even returned.
After dinner, Jiang Mingyuan suddenly ca over to the house.
Sitting down without much conversation, he soon pulled out a thick kraft paper bag from his bag.
Lin Xia frowned, “Second Brother!
Are you bringing a dividend again?”
“Yes!
Lin Xia!
This is this year’s dividend, fifteen thousand.”
Lin Xia didn’t want to accept it; she forcefully pushed it back towards Jiang Mingyuan, “Second Brother, I can’t take this money.
I had long recovered the money I invested initially.
You’d better take it back!”
Jiang Mingyuan’s eyes revealed a resolute expression, “Lin Xia, even though we are now sworn siblings, each matter should be handled accordingly.
Even real brothers need to settle accounts clearly.
When you put in that money, it was agreed it was for shares, whether it earned or lost, there would be an explanation.
So, you really need to accept this money!
If you don’t, I’ll truly be upset.”
He had returned from Ji City intending to go into the restaurant business, and he had invested his money in Clivia; indeed, there wasn’t much left.
If it weren’t for Lin Xia’s money, he might have really had to borrow from others.
So, no matter what, he was especially grateful for Lin Xia’s gesture.
He felt that this money was rightfully Lin Xia’s as well.
Lin Xia really felt helpless; she didn’t want to take the money from the shares at all.
She knew how hard it was for her second brother to set up that shop.
She thought of a compromise, “Second brother, how about this—you keep the money for now.
Can I just ask for it when I need it?
Otherwise, as you know, having this money won’t serve any purpose for !”
Lin Xia had heard from Song Zhiya about her aunt’s husband’s opinion on second brother; after all, compared to Song Yinran’s business, his was too far behind.
If he wanted to marry Song Zhiya, he had to gain Song Yinran’s approval, especially in business, the bigger the better, and certainly, the more money, the better.
Seeing Lin Xia so insistent made quite an unsightly scene between them.
He had no choice but to say reluctantly, “Alright then, I’ll keep this money for now, and when you want to use it, just let know!”
Lin Xia imdiately bead with joy; she finally found a reasonable excuse to refuse the money.
Feeling better, she even started to joke around.
“Second brother, you look a bit off today.
Could it be that you’re worried because my cousin has left?”
Song Zhiya had gone south with Song Yinran and Luo Xinyan for New Year’s two days ago.
When leaving, she had said she might stay in the south a bit longer before returning.
If it weren’t for Luo Yue being pregnant and it being unsuitable for her to travel during the first year of her marriage, perhaps she and Yu Hongli would have also gone south to visit.
Jiang Mingyuan laughed a bit embarrassedly, “You just love to tease .
She’s just left, what’s there for to think about?”
“Second brother!
Don’t deny it!
There’s no sha in admitting I guessed right!” Lin Xia continued to tease him.
Jiang Mingyuan finally found an opportunity to rib, and how could she miss this chance to tease him.
Jiang Mingyuan cleared his throat lightly and quickly changed the subject, “Lin Xia!
I heard you are going to see Lu Zheng?
When do you plan to leave?”
“I plan to leave on the second day of the lunar new year, then stay a bit more than a week before I co back!” Lin Xia was really looking forward to visiting Lu Zheng; she had even made ti to prepare so food to take to him.
“If you are leaving on the second day, then let Lin Chun and the others go to the gathering on the third day as usual.” Jiang Mingyuan and others had an annual New Year gathering, and he didn’t want to neglect Lin Chun and the others just because Lin Xia wasn’t there.
“Sure!
We’ll return on the thirtieth to celebrate New Year, and coming back on the second day should work out.” Lin Xia thought to herself; she also wondered how her eldest brother would react to seeing Jiang Mingqing.
She hoped he wouldn’t do anything too unexpected while she was away.
On the twenty-seventh of the twelfth lunar month, Lin Xia gave the greenhouse a holiday.
The costics shop was in its busiest season, so it was business as usual.
Lin Xia’s plan was to keep the business open until the twenty-ninth, then go to Lin Aiguo’s house for New Year.
The store saw a lot of custors coming in to buy goods, crowding around the counter.
The fastest selling items in the store were socks, underwear, shirts, and trousers, and so accessories and head flowers also sold very quickly.
In addition to the original two clerks, Lin Xia, Lin Qiu, and Lin Dong all ca over to help.
Compared to Lin Xia and her busy schedule, the store across from Chen Gang’s also had many people coming in, but it was doing sowhat worse in terms of business…
