Chapter 348: Showdown with Big Brother and Sister-in-law
Lin Xiaoxia understood the other party's intention, but the matter was not as the other party said.
So she said, "Uncle Wang, you can't say that. My second brother's shop wasn't opened by me. He has friends and supply channels in Bincheng, and the capital for opening the shop was provided by my second brother himself. I just helped find ideas and make some plans. My eldest brother knows all this. I also asked my eldest brother if he wanted to do business. If he did, I would help him find a way. But my eldest brother doesn't like business, so these are all discussed by my brother and me. There is no favoritism."
"What? Lin Xiao doesn't want to do business? Why? He doesn't want such a good thing? Doing business is so good. Isn't it good that his family members will have a place to work in the future?" Wang Changfa's face was full of confusion.
At this time, Lin Xiaoxia was really glad that her elder brother didn't like doing business. She just needed to get him some fixed assets in the future, otherwise his father-in-law would be in trouble in the future.
She said, "My eldest brother really has no interest in business, and I can't force him." After that, she irritated Wang Changfa and asked, "My eldest brother should have mentioned this to my eldest sister-in-law. Didn't my eldest sister-in-law tell you this?"
Wang Changfa said, "She didn't tell me anything. You said that with your family's status, it's not easy for you to help our relatives find jobs. But Lijuan is afraid that I will cause trouble for your Lin family and that Lin Xiao will be angry. It's obviously a matter of one word from you, but she won't say a word. She would rather buy things and beg people in secret than let your Lin family look down on her. If I hadn't heard it from others, I would still be in the dark. No matter what, your eldest brother is your brother, so why don't you help him open a store? If he doesn't have time, we can help manage it."
Lin Xiaoxia didn't care about Wang Changfa's selfish thoughts because she wouldn't let others take advantage of her.
But she noticed something suspicious in the conversation. Wang Changfa had heard this from someone else. What did this mean? Did someone specifically tell him something? Who was this person?
She asked Wang Changfa: "Who told you this?"
Wang Changfa said, "I can't tell you that. I've already promised them."
Lin Xiaoxia had some guesses in her mind: "Is it a young woman?"
Wang Changfa lowered his head and didn't dare to look Lin Xiaoxia in the eye: "I really can't say."
Lin Xiaoxia knew that her guess was almost right, it should be Ai Zhu, so she asked again: "Does he have a scar on his head?"
Wang Changfa still lowered his head: "I really can't say."
Lin Xiaoxia basically confirmed it and said, "You think an outsider is really kind when he tells you this for no reason? Uncle Wang, don't let anyone instigate you. It won't pay to alienate your daughter and son-in-law in the future."
Wang Changfa was different from his wife. His wife didn't have much brains and didn't think much about anything, but he knew that what Lin Xiaoxia said made sense, so he was silent for a while and said, "I won't listen to others in the future, but will you help your eldest brother with his business this time?"
Lin Xiaoxia said: "My eldest brother doesn't like doing business, why should I make things difficult for him? I don't need to tell you too much about our brother and sister. I understand what you mean. Is there anything else? If not, I'll go back to the store."
Wang Changfa didn't get the answer he wanted, but he didn't dare to offend Lin Xiaoxia: "Then think about it carefully. They are both your brothers. You can't be partial to one over the other. If Lijuan hadn't refused to listen to me, I wouldn't have come directly to you."
After listening to Wang Changfa's words, Lin Xiaoxia understood more about Wang Lijuan's family situation. She said to Wang Changfa, "I know what's going on. Goodbye, Uncle Wang."
Wang Changfa could only say goodbye, but he still felt that it was right to come in and find Lin Xiaoxia. Every time he wanted to find the Lin family, Wang Lijuan threatened and stopped him in various ways, and she always said that she would solve it in her own way.
But what could she do about this situation? She promised that she wouldn't dare go to Lin Xiaoxia, so it would be better for her to say it herself. Even if Lin Xiaoxia went to argue with Wang Lijuan, she wouldn't be in the right if the argument broke out.
Lin Xiaoxia returned to the store and felt that it would be better to clarify the matter in front of Lin Xiao and Wang Lijuan. After all, they should know what Wang Lijuan's father did to avoid any misunderstandings in the future.
Also, Wang Changfa just said that Wang Lijuan was always worried that her in-laws would look down on her, so she didn't dare to tell Lin Xiao anything about her thoughts. Lin Xiaoxia cared about this very much, because Lin Xiaoxia might not care about how Wang Lijuan got along with her, but if Wang Lijuan couldn't open her heart to Lin Xiao and live with him, then the couple wouldn't be able to live together for long.
She called Lin Xiao and said that Lu Jingshen was on a business trip and she wanted to go to his house for dinner in the evening.
Lin Xiao was very happy to hear that, and quickly agreed, saying that he would make her something delicious in the evening.
After hanging up the phone, it was still early, so Lin Xiaoxia went home first. She knew that Ai Zhu was causing trouble again, so she called San Luzi again and asked her to help investigate where Ai Zhu was. This evil woman must be dealt with cleanly, otherwise she would always come out and be an eyesore, like a toad climbing onto your foot. Even if she doesn't bite, she is still annoying.
In the afternoon, seeing that Lin Xiao and Wang Lijuan were about to get off work, she went to buy some fruit and took it to Lin Xiao's house.
Arriving at Lin Xiao's house, the aroma of food wafted out as soon as they entered the door. Lin Xiao welcomed Lin Xiaoxia into the house and said, "Your sister-in-law will make you her specialty, braised fish and three fresh vegetables. We'll eat soon."
Lin Xiaoxia said: "Then I will go help my sister-in-law."
Lin Xiao said: "No, it will be ready soon. Just go wash your hands and wait for dinner."
Lin Xiaoxia looked at the several dishes on the table and felt that there was really no need for her to help. She put down the fruit, went to the bathroom and washed her hands.
After she washed her hands, Wang Lijuan came out with a plate of braised fish: "Xiaoxia, please sit down. I have another soup ready."
Lin Xiaoxia said, "Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law."
"You're welcome. Since Jing Shen is not at home these few days, you can come here to eat every day." Wang Lijuan went into the kitchen again.
Lin Xiaoxia and Wang Lijuan had never had a heart-to-heart talk, but they always appeared to be in a good mood. She originally thought that as long as her eldest brother and his wife had a good relationship, nothing else mattered. However, what Wang Lijuan's father said today made Lin Xiaoxia worried about her eldest brother's life.
The meal was served soon after. It was very sumptuous. For three people, there were four hot dishes, one cold dish and one soup. It was very homely, but made with great care.
While eating, Lin Xiaoxia did not mention Wang Changfa looking for her. After all, it was not appropriate to eat with emotions.
After dinner, Lin Xiaoxia helped Wang Lijuan clean up the dishes, and then they all sat on the sofa to drink tea. Only then did Lin Xiaoxia start to talk about business.
She said to Wang Lijuan: "Sister-in-law, I actually have something I want to tell you today."
Wang Lijuan's expression immediately turned serious. What she feared most was what the Lin family would think of her. She nervously asked Lin Xiaoxia, "What's the matter?"
Lin Xiaoxia said, "Sister-in-law, your uncle Wang came to see me today."
