Chapter 138 The Current Situation of the Ai Family

Because Wang Lijuan facilitated the marriage between Lin Zhu and her cousin, her family praised her for her ability, and everyone envied her parents, saying that they had a promising daughter.

Everyone in her family is a worker, and she is proud of her family for marrying Lin Xiao. Now she has also brought her cousin together with Lin Zhu, so her family thinks highly of her. But now Lin Zhu's status has changed, and her second aunt will definitely be angry. What should they do?

After Ai Xiaoxia and Huang Wanxia came back from buying vegetables, they went to the kitchen. Huang Wanxia saw Ai Xiaoxia preparing the vegetables skillfully, and she felt bad again: "Xiaoxia, we don't need you. Lin Zhu didn't do any work before. Now that you are back, you should act like a child. You don't need to work."

Ai Xiaoxia smiled: "Mom, don't think too much. I'm very happy now. I think it's good to have bitterness before sweetness. Only after the bitterness can you know how good the sweetness is. Cooking is not a complicated thing. I really like cooking for my family. It's great that I can accompany you and talk with you."

While they were talking, Lu Jingshen also came over, rolled up his sleeves, washed his hands, and helped Ai Xiaoxia wash the vegetables.

Although Huang Wanxia felt a little uncomfortable before because Lu Jingshen married Ai Xiaoxia too early, but seeing how good Lu Jingshen was to Ai Xiaoxia, and Ai Xiaoxia always saying that she would be happy after marrying Lu Jingshen, she quickly fell in love with Lu Jingshen as a son-in-law. Without this son-in-law, perhaps her daughter would not be found.

After a while, Lin Rui also came out to help.

Seeing that they were all in the kitchen, Lin Jianye came over too. Soon the whole family was crowded in the kitchen.

Until Huang Wanxia felt that they were making a mess and drove them all out, leaving Ai Xiaoxia to accompany her in the kitchen, not to ask her to help with the work, but just to talk to her.

But after a while, Wang Lijuan went into the kitchen again. In the past, when she came back, she often went to Lin Zhu's room to talk with Lin Zhu, but now Lin Zhu was not there, and Ai Xiaoxia was still so proactive in working, so Wang Lijuan hurried over.

In the evening, Ai Xiaoxia also cooked two dishes, saying that she wanted her parents to taste her cooking skills.

They started eating before it got dark. This was the Lin family’s first real reunion dinner.

Lin Jianye raised the first glass with a choked voice, said welcome his daughter home, and drank the first glass.

Everyone followed suit and had a drink, and the dinner officially began.

While eating, they also talked about the Lin family. They also wanted Ai Xiaoxia to know more about this place. Later, they also had to find time to visit their second uncle, aunt, and uncle.

After dinner, the men all drank, so Lu Jingshen couldn't drive today, and in the end Huang Wanxia asked him to stay here again.

However, my eldest brother and his wife still took a taxi home. They said that the documents they needed to take to work tomorrow were at home, so they went back.

When everyone was talking, they also mentioned whether Ai Xiaoxia should change her surname.

Ai Xiaoxia said that she would not change her name for the time being. She had done some business with someone and the procedures for changing the name would be troublesome. She would see when it would be appropriate to change it later.

Ai Xiaoxia didn't tell her family about the business in detail because they had just recognized her. In fact, everyone was more concerned about how Ai Xiaoxia had been doing over the years, especially some things from her childhood. So Ai Xiaoxia wanted to wait until things were stable before talking about the business. Of course, she also wanted to take them to the store and give them a surprise.

Of course, the family members did not expect Ai Xiaoxia's business to be so big. In fact, some of them thought that Ai Xiaoxia was not used to changing her name. After all, it was her name for twenty years and everyone around her was familiar with it. It was really difficult for Ai Xiaoxia to adapt to the sudden change. Everything required Ai Xiaoxia a certain amount of time, so they all said that Ai Xiaoxia was right and they would not change it for the time being.

Ai Xiaoxia could see the understanding and concern from her family members, and she really liked that they gave her space, which made her feel more relaxed. In fact, she did need some time to get used to everyone.

Huang Wanxia said she would sleep with Ai Xiaoxia tonight no matter what, and she had a lot to say to her.

Lu Jingshen was forced to share a room with his brother-in-law, but he felt relieved because his wife's background had been resolved. All he had to do now was speed up his pace and go back to the big bed to sleep.

At this time, the Ai family in Dawa Village was in chaos. It was the middle of the night and no one was sleepy at all. The lights were on and the house was gloomy.

Lin Zhu's head was wrapped in gauze, and she was lying on the kang in the east room, crying.

Meng Qiuju had been worried that the police would come to arrest her, but when there was no movement at night, she felt much more relieved.

But Lin Zhu's crying also gave her a headache. She yelled at Lin Zhu, "Can you please stop crying? I've been exchanging you for so many years. You've enjoyed so much that we can't. What have you lost?"

Lin Zhu naturally felt aggrieved: "Did I ask you to change? If I hadn't, I wouldn't have known there was a good life. I might have been able to accept this family, but how can I accept it now?"

Meng Qiuju said, "You have to accept it anyway. You come from such a background. It's already good enough that you've enjoyed a good life. You went to school in the city and have connections. In a couple of days, you should hurry back to work and start earning money."

"Go to work? I haven't arranged my job yet. It's all your fault. If you hadn't come to me and let them find out, my job would have been arranged and we would have been married, then I would have been stable. Now I have lost my job and I'm going to have a scar on my head. My fiancé doesn't want me anymore. What should I do?" Lin Zhu got angry when she thought about this. If it was another year, it would be fine, but what should she do now?

Of course, she didn't know how serious her injury was yet. In order to stop her from making a fuss, Meng Qiuju and the others didn't tell the truth. If she knew that she would be left with such a big scar, she would have gone crazy a long time ago.

Lin Zhu's work and marriage were affected, which is indeed what Meng Qiuju regretted. It would have been better if she had waited until Lin Zhu's work and marriage were stable.

But to be honest, this is all Ai Xiaoxia's fault. If Ai Xiaoxia hadn't made a fuss, I wouldn't have pushed Lin Zhu so hard. There must be someone who can give me money.

She said, "Your scar is on your forehead. You can hide it by growing a bang. It won't be a problem if a man sees it after you get married. Didn't you say your marriage is almost over? If the man changes his mind, you can go to his workplace and make a scene, forcing him to marry you. Then, after you get married, you'll still be a city dweller."

Listening to Meng Qiuju's unreasonable ways, Lin Zhu was really getting more and more fed up with their ignorance. "What are you making trouble for? Besides, if I force someone who doesn't want to marry me to marry me, will I be happy?"

"What's the point of being happy or not? Isn't it enough for you to get married, have a son, and then live a good life?" Meng Qiuju's thoughts were still very simple.

"Do you think they married me because of me? That's because my father was the director. Now I'm a country girl, why would they marry me? I make a fuss? Will they be scared?" Lin Zhu understood one thing deeply, that is, all the glory she had in the past was given by her family, but now she has nothing.

After hearing this, Meng Qiuju understood and felt disappointed. It seemed that both her job and her status as a city dweller were gone.

She sat on the edge of the kang, thought for a while and said, "So what are your plans?"
