Chapter 274 Planning to Beat Ai Zhu
Lin Xiaoxia chatted with Sun Qiang for a while. Worried that Lin Mei might be bored, she looked at her and said, "Are you bored? If you are, go downstairs and take a look. Don't go too far."
Lin Mei shook her head: "I'm not bored, sister, you guys talk, don't bother me." In fact, she quite liked listening to them talk. It felt like watching a TV series. Anyway, her sister was very awesome.
Lin Xiaoxia smiled: "Well, you are sensible. I will take you to buy delicious food this afternoon."
Lin Mei scratched her head: "Sister, I'm not a child, there's no need to coax me, just go ahead and do your thing."
Lin Xiaoxia nodded and continued to talk about business with Sun Qiang.
At noon, Lu Jingshen arrived, and the four of them went out to a restaurant across the street and asked for a private room.
After sitting down, Sun Qiang ordered some signature dishes and chose the best ones, and asked the waiter to prepare eight dishes with both meat and vegetables.
While waiting for the food to be served, Lu Jingshen chatted with Sun Qiang, and Lin Xiaoxia took Lin Mei around the door and told her about some of the landmark buildings around there. Lin Mei would be living in this city in the future and would need to slowly adapt.
The two sisters talked for a while outside and then returned to the private room.
I had a very filling lunch. The dishes in the north are big in size, but they don’t actually need so many dishes. But Sun Qiang is a straightforward person, so you can’t stop him from ordering more dishes.
After finishing their meal, they talked some more, and seeing that Lu Jingshen was about to go to work in the afternoon, they went home.
When they arrived at the gate of the compound, Lu Jingshen went to work, and Lin Xiaoxia took Lin Mei to Ju Huiyan and introduced her sister to Ju Huiyan.
Ju Huiyan had heard some of this before, and she was happy at this time, and insisted on making a skirt for Lin Mei.
Lin Xiaoxia did not refuse and asked her to measure Lin Mei's size.
While measuring the size, Ju Huiyan also talked to Lin Xiaoxia about how good the business was recently.
Lin Mei feels that every time she goes to a place with her sister, she will get to know a lot of new things.
The two sisters left Ju Huiyan's place and went to a nearby store, where they bought a bunch of food and took it home.
After arriving home, Lin Xiaoxia took Lin Mei to make some snacks together, which allowed them to relax and chat, and also promoted the relationship between the sisters.
Lin Mei and Lin Xiaoxia were learning to make snacks, and she couldn't help but say to Lin Xiaoxia, "Sister, how come you are so amazing? You know everything?"
Lin Xiaoxia received praise and affirmation from her sister, and smiled and said, "Because I like to learn. These are not difficult. I will teach you, and you can take notes on paper. Then try it out and see if you can do it yourself."
Lin Mei asked doubtfully, "Can I really learn this?"
Lin Xiaoxia nodded and said, "These all have fixed ratios. Can't you just make them according to the proportions?"
Lin Mei happily took a pen and paper and listened to Lin Xiaoxia tell her the recipes for making shortbread and cookies.
The two sisters were talking while doing it, and soon the distance between them was shortened.
Lin Mei also told Lin Xiaoxia what was in her heart: "Sister, actually I have long felt that I am not a child of the Qin family, because my grandparents are not good to me. My parents say it is because I am a girl, but my grandparents are very good to my second uncle's sister. And the villagers always gossip about me. Although my family has explained it to me, there are too many things. I still have doubts in my heart, but I dare not think so. I am afraid that I am wrong and hurt their feelings. Anyway, I am very entangled."
"So, are your adoptive parents good to you?"
"It was okay. There was a time when they were always arguing because I couldn't get pregnant. I went to many doctors and took many medicines. I remember the house always smelled like medicine when I was little. After we moved back to Sandagouzi Village, it seemed like everything was peaceful."
"Then they didn't want to adopt another boy? They wanted a son so badly."
"Yes, they said I had to buy one, but it's hard to adopt a boy, so I didn't."
"Now you know how you got to the Qin family. What are your thoughts for the future?"
Lin Mei was silent for a moment and then said, "I don't know either. I'm very conflicted. Sometimes I feel that they have been very kind to me in raising me, but sometimes I feel that they changed my life. It would be great if we could separate the grudges."
Lin Xiaoxia also sighed: "Xiaoya, you have to know that it is their selfishness that has made both families unhappy. This is their fault, and you are the victim. You owe no one anything."
Lin Mei lowered her head. "I know, but I can't completely ignore them. After all, they raised me for more than ten years. I can't watch them die alone. But I also don't want to live with them every day. Looking at them will remind me of many things that I don't want to recall."
Lin Xiaoxia thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I have an idea. Let them go to the orphanage and adopt a child through proper procedures. If they adopt a child legally, these things won't happen. This way, they'll have someone to rely on, and it'll be a relief for you too."
Lin Mei opened her eyes wide and nodded: "You are right, sister, why didn't I think of it? In fact, what they need is a child. If there is a child, they won't stare at me all the time. I want to go out and try my luck, but I will also treat them as my family."
Lin Xiaoxia nodded and said, "Then I'll go with you to talk to them about this later."
Lin Mei asked Lin Xiaoxia again: "Sister, if they hadn't met me, would they not be facing this predicament now?"
"If they hadn't selfishly kept you, our two families wouldn't have suffered so much. But to be honest, the more hateful ones are Meng Qiuju and Ai Zhu."
"Well, sister, to be honest, I really hate that Ai Zhu."
"I hate her too. In the end, she even hid something about you. Thanks to finding you, otherwise I wouldn't have known. Let's go to Dawa Village this weekend and beat her up."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. This person deserves a beating. Let the eldest and second brothers take us to Dawa Village this weekend to beat her up. She was always instigating things when she was little. She caused the second brother to be misunderstood by our parents and made the eldest brother take her side and send you away. She has occupied my identity for twenty years. We really should go beat her up."
"Sister, hitting someone is against the law."
"It's okay. I've beaten her more than once or twice. The police station knows about our family's situation. If I don't beat her to a pulp, no one will care."
"Sister, you are really amazing. You are more confident than most people when beating people."
Lin Xiaoxia smiled when she heard her sister's words: "You are praising me."
Li Mei also smiled: "I just admire you, sister. I really didn't know that girls could be so powerful before."
The more she started calling me sister, the more comfortable it became.
Lin Xiaoxia smiled and said, "You will be very good in the future." Then she pointed to the cookies and said, "Let's bake them."
Lin Mei put the cookies into the oven as Lin Xiaoxia said, then pressed the temperature and time, and then looked at the oven curiously.
Lin Xiaoxia packed up the tools she used, then sat down with Lin Mei and waited for the cookies to come out of the oven.
Smelling the fragrance, Lin Mei couldn't sit still and kept standing around the oven.
It’s finally out of the oven, and the rich aroma of cream fills the house.
