Chapter 338 Fang Lan'e's Father
Lin Xiaoxia looked at the boy with a smile: "Lin Mei doesn't want to fall in love too early now, she just wants to study hard. If you really like her, shouldn't you respect her choice?"
"What if she doesn't become my girlfriend and is snatched away by someone else?" the boy asked Lin Xiaoxia.
"Are you so unconfident?" Lin Xiaoxia asked the boy.
The boy shook his head: "That's not it, that's it, that's it..."
Lin Xiaoxia patted the boy's shoulder and said, "Alright, young man, premature love affects your studies. My sister started school later than you did, and she doesn't have the time or energy to think about these things now. You still have the opportunity to repeat the year, but she doesn't have many opportunities. If you really want to do this for her own good, let her study hard."
The boy hesitated for a while and said, "Then I will ask her to study hard now, but I will always wait for her. My name is Yunfeng, and I will definitely marry Lin Mei in the future." After that, he ran away.
Lin Xiaoxia looked at the boy's back and smiled. This kid is quite interesting.
Lin Mei kept her head down: "Sister, why are you here?"
"I saw it was raining and I happened to be nearby, so I came over to bring you an umbrella."
"Sister, I really didn't fall in love prematurely. I studied hard."
"I know. You're doing the right thing. Study hard. You're older than your classmates and have fewer opportunities than them, so you can't waste your time."
"Yes, sister, I understand."
"Hurry up and go home with an umbrella. Don't let your parents worry about you." Because it was still daylight and some students were coming out, it was not too late and there was no need to send Lin Mei home.
Lin Mei said goodbye to Lin Xiaoxia with an umbrella and ran to the bus stop.
Lin Xiaoxia held an umbrella and strolled along the corridor outside the school for a while before taking a taxi home.
She remembered that she had received love letters when she was in middle school in her previous life. It was really beautiful when she was young and ignorant.
But it’s even better now. Lu Jingshen is much more handsome than those school idols, and he is also capable.
Thinking of Lu Jingshen drawing blueprints at his desk last night, Lin Xiaoxia smiled with satisfaction. Her man was more attractive when he was working.
The bridge that Lu Jingshen and his team are going to build is located in Lianhua County, an hour's drive from the city, on the Chai River. Once completed, it will halve the distance from many places to the city. There are also many villages that grow pears and apples, making it easier to transport the fruits. These are values that cannot be seen with the eyes. They are the embodiment of the progress of the country and the people.
The more Lin Xiaoxia thought about it, the more she felt that her man was amazing.
These past two nights, Lu Jingshen worked until midnight, and Lin Xiaoxia sat beside him reading a book to keep him company.
The next morning, Lin Xiaoxia just arrived at the door of the store managed by Fang Lan'e, and saw Fang Lan'e and her father Fang Jiang talking outside the door under a tree on the west side.
She knew that Fang Lan'e's father, Fang Jiang, was patriarchal and that she came here just for money.
She and Fang Lan'e had been good friends since childhood, so she naturally knew Fang Lan'e's father, Fang Jiang. She walked over quickly and said, "Uncle Fang is here."
Fang Jiang knew that Fang Lan'e was working for Lin Xiaoxia now, so he was very enthusiastic towards her: "Xiaoxia, you have changed so much that I can't recognize you."
Lin Xiaoxia said, "Uncle Fang, thank you for your compliment. Is there anything you need from Xiao'e?"
Fang Jiang said: "It's not a big deal. Xiaodong is planning to learn how to drive, and the family is running out of money, so I came to ask Xiaoe for some."
Lin Xiaoxia listened to Fang Jiang's matter-of-fact words and asked, "Xiao'e is now living alone in this city, and it's not easy to rent an apartment. Why hasn't her family sent her any money?"
Fang Jiang looked at Lin Xiaoxia with a puzzled look on his face: "She earns hundreds of dollars working for you, and she still has the nerve to ask her family for money? A girl earns money, but she doesn't give it to her family, doesn't help her brother learn a trade and get married, so what is she saving the money for? Who will benefit from it in the future?"
Lin Xiaoxia said, "Uncle Fang, Xiao'e gave all the betrothal gifts to her parents before she got married. Now she's divorced, and it's not easy for her to be alone. As a father, don't you think about her?"
Fang Jiang said, "Why didn't I think about her? When she first came to the city and things were not going well, I didn't ask for money. Now that she's settled, isn't it only right that I ask for some money?"
Lin Xiaoxia said: "Although Xiao'e is divorced now, she has not returned to her parents' home to rely on them. She has established her own family and has to save money to buy a house and live in the future."
"What? Buy a house? When she gets married, how can the man not have a house? Even if he has money, he should buy a house for Xiaodong. Why should she, a woman, leave a house for him?" Fang Jiang asked in complete confusion.
Fang Lan'e said to Fang Jiang, "Dad, I told you I won't get married again. My parents can't support me, so I can only earn money and spend it myself. And since I won't get married, I have to save some money for my old age, right? Otherwise, am I going to starve to death in my old age?"
"Not getting married? No way, you must get married." Fang Jiang said in a commanding tone.
Lin Xiaoxia said to Fang Jiang, "Xiao'e is an adult now. She can decide her own future. And uncle, raising a son is a parent's responsibility. It's your business for your Fang Xiaodong to marry. Xiao'e, as the elder sister, is willing to lend a hand because they have a good relationship. Otherwise, she wouldn't have given a penny. It's useless for you to use these moral blackmails."
Fang Jiang blinked and looked at Lin Xiaoxia: "What are you talking about? You know that you have your biological parents and can rely on them. How can this woman not have the support of her mother's family? Xiao E is a woman. If she gets into trouble or gets bullied in the future, won't she have to rely on her brother and her mother's family?"
Lin Xiaoxia laughed. "You're really wrong. Xiao'e has many good friends of mine. If anything goes wrong, we will all help her. And your so-called natal family, what have they done besides finding her a husband who beats people and taking her betrothal gift? When the Xu family abused her so much, did Fang Xiaodong ever stand up for his sister? A few days ago, Wang Guixiang came to cause trouble for Xiao'e, and it was her friends who stood up for her. Waiting for you? Then Xiao'e would have been bullied a long time ago. Xiao'e won't count on her natal family in the future. I am her real sister. I will help her if anything happens. Also, as long as a woman is strong, she will not be afraid of anything. Xiao'e will get better and better in the future. She really doesn't need to count on her natal family."
These words left Fang Jiang speechless, because indeed, as Fang Lan'e's father, he had done nothing for her except raising her. So whatever he said was in the wrong.
At this time, he simply played the emotional card and said to Fang Lan'e, "Xiao'e, I am your biological father. No matter what, without me, there would be no you. You can't be so heartless, right?"
Fang Lan'e sighed, "Dad, I want a divorce, but you don't agree. After I divorced, when you told me not to go back to my parents' home, I lost hope in you. It's true that you raised me, and when you're old and need care, I won't stand idly by, but now, you can't control me."
