Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 271 - 270: Tired or Not?

Miao Xue proudly told Lin Yu, "My uncle told me he’s already arranged for people to go down and make sure her shop can’t open!"

She dared to compete with her for a man and now had to face the consequences.

This time, if her shop can’t open, how could Wu Zhengyang’s family agree to him being with a woman like that?

Lin Yu was inwardly applauding but, of course, couldn’t show on her face that she knew Lin Qiu and the others.

She looked at Miao Xue with envy, "Miao Xue! Your uncle is really powerful!"

She had been sulking ever since she came back from home, never expecting that Lin Aiguo would now be siding with Lin Xia and her group, even threatening her mother and sisters not to make trouble.

When did their relationship get so good?

Weren’t they always at each other’s throats before? freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Lin Xia had even sent Lin Aiguo to a mental hospital before.

Yet now, Lin Aiguo held no grudge or resentment against Lin Xia!

Lin Yu was extremely resentful, seeing that Lin Xia and her group were now wealthy and doing well;

while she, on the other hand, slogged through her monthly job for meager pay, which just covered a couple of nice clothes, and even those she had to budget carefully.

Such disparity left her sleepless at night.

Now, finally hearing some good news from Miao Xue, her mood soared.

She was only happy when Lin Xia and her family were having a hard time.

Miao Xue proudly lifted her chin, "Of course! My uncle really spoils me. As soon as I told him, he agreed to help me take care of her.

Hmph, this time, we have to make that woman suffer a bit. Finding faults with them is too easy."

She enjoyed seeing the beautiful Lin Yu, who looked better than her, fawning over her. It gave her a great sense of superiority.

"Yes, it’s just right to manage them!" Lin Yu’s eyes sparkled with calculation, planning to find an opportunity to cause some trouble for Lin Xia’s greenhouse.

She felt incredibly fortunate to have met Miao Xue; she didn’t have to lift a finger, as someone else was taking care of Lin Xia and her group for her.

Miao Xue suggested, "Oh, Lin Yu, let’s hang out after work tonight! It’s Brother Gangzi’s birthday, we’ll have dinner and then go dancing!"

Lin Yu hesitated for a moment; Gangzi came from a well-off family, his father seemed to be a leader, but Gangzi himself was all play and no work, hanging out with friends every day.

However, he had always treated her well and had been trying to pursue her.

"I have to review back at the dorm tonight; I won’t go!"

Miao Xue would not take no for an answer. She had already promised Chen Gang that she would bring Lin Yu along.

"Lin Yu! You can review any time, missing one day won’t matter, right?

Today is special since it’s Brother Gangzi’s birthday, you can’t just not show up, right? Do it for me, please go! Or else I’ll be mad!"

Lin Yu was shaken by her persistence, her resolve to refuse not that strong to begin with, "Alright then, but we can’t stay out too late!"

Miao Xue nodded with a smile, "Don’t worry! I can’t come back home late either!"

On the other hand, although Lin Dong had faced danger, he was young and recovered quickly. After sleeping one night, he felt much better the next day.

Seeing that he was about to start school, Lin Xia told him to rest well at home, which coincided with spending time with Lu Zheng.

Lin Dong now admired Lu Zheng even more, utterly obedient, so when Lu Zheng said he would take him out to play, he agreed without any objection.

She asked Lin Qiu to help Liu Caifeng mind the stall in the greenhouse, while she went to find someone to handle this matter.

First, Lin Xia went to see Sheng Yijin. There were some things in which they were in the same system, and if she was to find someone, she wanted to know who was causing trouble for her from behind the scenes.

After hearing what Lin Xia had to say, Sheng Yijin told her to go home first, and he would inform her once he figured it out.

Lin Xia then went to the housing management bureau. Indeed, her adobe-clad home did not have a housing license, which could easily be criticized.

But obtaining a license for this kind of privately built house was not simple since most construction was handled by public housing at the time.

However, many things were not standardized in those times, and with some gifts from Lin Xia, she managed to get the issue resolved.

Sheng Yijin came to Lin Xia’s house soon after.

He was quite surprised to see Lu Zheng in Lin Xia’s home, but his expression quickly returned to normal.

They were all acquainted, so he just nodded in greeting and sat down.

As Lu Zheng chatted with Sheng Yijin, Lin Xia went to make tea for Sheng Yijin.

"When did you arrive?" Sheng Yijin asked.

He knew very well what his buddy Jiang Mingyuan was thinking; watching the man before him maintain his composure, he couldn’t help worrying for Jiang Mingyuan.

While he and Ma Hao were away in another place, this guy was already at Lin Xia’s house.

They say a persistent suitor can wear down the most reluctant of women; this man, with his good looks and family background, pursuing so fervently, might just make Lin Xia agree at any moment.

"A couple of days ago," Lu Zheng answered indifferently.

At this moment, Lin Xia came over with the tea, "Big Brother Sheng, have some tea!"

"Sure! Thank you!"

Lin Xia sat in a chair nearby, "Big Brother Sheng! What exactly is going on?"

She was bewildered that the Bureau of Industry and Commerce had come specifically for her.

In her heart, she had suspects, but she couldn’t confirm who it was.

Sheng Yijin took a light sip of his tea, set it down, and said, "This thing was arranged by Deputy Fan!"

"Who found him?" Lin Xia exclaimed in surprise.

Who held such a grudge against her to go that far?

"I did some asking around. Someone said this was orchestrated by his niece... I heard she works at the mechanical factory!" That’s all he had managed to find out so far.

"Mechanical factory?" Lin Xia immediately thought of Wu Zhengyang, who also worked at the mechanical factory.

Could there be some connection here?

Seeing Lin Xia’s expression, Sheng Yijin guessed that she must have thought of something.

"Do you know someone there?"

"Mhm! My sister’s boyfriend works there!"

Sheng Yijin was surprised, "Lin Qiu has a boyfriend?"

During the New Year, they often dined and drank together, and he hadn’t heard about it then.

Lin Xia smiled, "They’ve just started dating recently! It hasn’t been long!"

Lin Xia asked Sheng Yijin for help in finding someone to figure out whether to take the Deputy out for a meal or to give a gift. Surely there was someone above the Deputy who could keep him in check. They couldn’t just let them bully and pick on them freely.

Sheng Yijin agreed to help.

After sending off Sheng Yijin, Lu Zheng finally said, "Lin Xia! You can relax now, it may not be aimed at you!"

Lin Xia let out a wry smile, "Yeah! At first, I thought I had offended someone again!"

Initially, she thought that since her produce sold quickly and well in the greenhouse, perhaps someone envious was stirring trouble behind her back.

Now it seemed that a colleague from Wu Zhengyang’s unit had made a move, so it was very likely related to Wu Zhengyang.

Thinking a bit more, the answer wasn’t hard to guess.

Concern filled Lu Zheng’s eyes, "Lin Xia! You shouldn’t always take everything upon yourself like this. Is it not tiring?"

Watching from the sidelines, he felt heartache.

At just over twenty years of age, she had already taken up the mantle of running a household, worrying and striving for each of her siblings.

Now with just the two of them at home, Lin Xia had grown a bit closer to Lu Zheng over the past few days, so she shared her thoughts directly.

"Actually, sometimes I do get tired, but you know the situation with the rest of us.

I won’t even mention my older brother. My younger sister is soft-hearted, and my younger brother is still in school, so I must make myself become strong!"
