Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 765 - 764: Reflection!

Afterward, Lin Xia learned about the incident between her little uncle and Ji Man from her mother-in-law.

"I was truly shocked when your little uncle told us! That girl is ruthless, she even attempted suicide by slitting her wrists!

He said Ji Man and her parents deceived him... However, he didn’t go into details, and I didn’t ask."

Shao Meirou still felt a lingering fear when she spoke to Lin Xia, worried that if her little brother didn’t handle things properly, he could easily be entangled incessantly by that Ji Man.

Even though her little brother has been transferred back, Shao Meirou couldn’t help worrying about whether Ji Man and her family would do something drastic again.

Lin Xia was also quite surprised; she had suspected that Ji Man wouldn’t give up so easily.

But the extent of using death as coercion was truly beyond her expectations.

Using suicide as a weapon to blackmail someone is the most foolish act! She had thought Ji Man was smart and wouldn’t do such a thing!

Lin Xia asked, "So now my little uncle and her..."

"Your little uncle said he made everything clear to Ji Man before coming back! Whether she lives or dies, he won’t care anymore!" Shao Meirou slightly furrowed her brows, "But who can say for sure with these things! It’s a good thing your little uncle has already been transferred back, I would have been really worried to death had he still been there!"

Her brother might not be young, but he excelled in many areas!

Having witnessed Ji Man’s cunning, she naturally didn’t want her to keep pestering her brother.

Lin Xia also felt doubtful, thinking that if Ji Man’s family had indeed moved away from their hometown and was having a rough time, Ji Man might very well see Shao Xingbang as a lifeline for her whole family!

If Ji Man really was determined to cling on, it was likely that Shao Xingbang could not escape her grasp no matter where he went, to the ends of the earth.

For now, Lin Xia could only hope in her heart that Ji Man would come to a realization and not waste any more time on a hopeless affection...

The return of Shao Xingbang brought some shock to the family, but things calmed down again within a few days.

Lin Xia continued to be busy with her array of tasks at a frenetic pace.

The business license for the garment factory came through quickly with Shi Tou’s help.

While choosing a name for the garment factory, she sought the opinions of Lu Zheng as well as her father-in-law, mother-in-law, and maternal grandfather, and, after pooling their ideas, they decided to call it Zheng Lin Garment Factory. freёwebnoѵel.com

The place Lin Xia rented was a large courtyard with a two-story building.

The first floor would serve as the workshop for production, and the second-floor rooms could be used as offices and worker dormitories.

Fortunately, with Shi Tou’s forward-looking assistance, she saved a great deal of effort.

Otherwise, just relying on Lin Xia herself, her efficiency would definitely not be as high.

Next, they started purchasing sewing machines, overlock machines, and recruiting workers.

They hired five skilled seamstresses for cutting and sewing, and the factory also needed a few people for delivery and manual labor.

At this point, Lu Zheng found two candidates for Lin Xia.

These two were his acquaintances, skilled and without suitable jobs in their rural hometowns.

Lin Xia was quite satisfied with the two who came to work and also serve as guards.

They were honest and reliable, not afraid of hardship, and possessed impressive physical strength.

That Saturday, Lin Dong came over to Lu Pengcheng’s place to see the kids, and the person protecting him accompanied him as usual.

Lin Xia noticed that Lin Dong looked pale, with dark circles under his eyes, and gently advised, "Dongzi, don’t push yourself too hard with your studies! You must balance work and rest!"

She knew her brother was exceptionally hardworking and ambitious, never slackening his efforts even after getting into university.

But now she just wished for him to be safe and happy, not expecting him to make any remarkable achievements in the future.

As Lin Dong played with Jingjing and Keke, he chuckled, "I know, big sis! There’ll be plenty of firewood as long as the green hills are preserved! I’ll take care of myself!"

"Just remember what you said! Your dark circles are pretty severe. Did you stay up late last night? What were you actually doing?" Lin Xia always felt like her brother was hiding something from her.

After Lin Xia’s relentless questioning, Lin Dong finally admitted, "Actually, I just haven’t rested well these past two days!"

Lin Xia was very puzzled, "Why haven’t you rested well? You don’t even live in the dorm! Who’s disturbing your rest?"

Lin Dong’s gaze darted around as he sidestepped Lin Xia’s concern, "Nothing, big sis! I just had some nightmares, that’s all!"

Lin Xia’s face grew stern as she pressed, "You better tell me what’s going on, right now!"

She was very anxious inside. Her brother was still studying at the same school as Meng Xiangnan, and the thought made her worry uncontrollably.

She had heard that Meng Xiangzi was released from prison at the beginning of the year but hadn’t heard anything about her since then.

Lin Xia couldn’t help but wonder whether she was plotting something in secret.

However, she only occasionally entertained these thoughts and never spoke of them outright.

Without any proof, she pondered, could she really live peacefully if she worried without reason?

Lin Dong pursed his lips and stopped beating around the bush, "Big sis, Meng Xiangnan told me the other day that because of me, his originally happy family was torn apart.

His mother and sister went to jail, and his father was transferred. If his father hadn’t been transferred, he wouldn’t have sought another woman!"

When Lin Dong first heard this, he was genuinely stunned.

The pain and despair in Meng Xiangnan’s words when he said this were so vivid that Lin Dong couldn’t help but take notice.

He couldn’t help but reflect on himself...

Lin Xia spoke rapidly and impatiently, "What kind of logic is that? Dongzi, don’t let him randomly place blame on you! Why doesn’t he say, if his sister hadn’t hired people to beat you up, none of the following would’ve happened?

Would his mother not have gone to prison if his father hadn’t had an affair? If his father is that shameless, he would’ve had an affair regardless!"

Lin Dong spoke frankly, "Big sis, I understand that, but I still can’t stop myself from reflecting. Maybe the punishment we gave his sister was indeed too severe!

I didn’t really have any serious issues; I was just beaten up and hospitalized for a few days. But his sister not only lost her job and went to jail, but her reputation was also ruined."

At heart, Lin Dong was a kind and easily sympathetic person, and the words spoken by Meng Xiangnan had troubled him, inevitably causing him some feelings of guilt.

Lin Xia laid her hands on Lin Dong’s shoulders, looking into his clear, deer-like innocent eyes, and said word by word, "Dongzi, you can’t think like that! If those they hired hadn’t gone easy, a little more force and you would’ve been dead, you know that?

And at that time, I had just become pregnant and was in an unstable condition. After learning about your situation, if I had miscarried, we would never have had the chance to meet Jingjing and Keke!

Fine, let’s assume I was strong and nothing happened to me back then. But what about later? Later on, Meng Xiangzi’s mother, taking advantage of your brother-in-law’s grandmother, nearly harmed my unborn child!

They should have known before doing bad things that there would definitely be a price to pay!"
