Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 774 - 773: My wife Lu Zheng is of course extraordinary!

Chapter 774: Chapter 773: My wife Lu Zheng is of course extraordinary!

Lu Zheng came back from outside that day and, although he tried hard to disguise it, Lin Xia still noticed something amiss from the subtle changes in his complexion.

But there were quite a few family members at home, including her grandfather and in-laws, so she knew Lu Zheng was the kind of person who didn’t like to worry his family about anything; thus, she did not immediately ask what was wrong.

The two children were tired and wanted to sleep, so Lin Xia and Lu Zheng each carried one back to their room.

After Lin Xia had soothed the children to sleep, she asked Lu Zheng, "Xiaozheng! What happened to you?"

Lu Zheng embraced Lin Xia and did not hide anything, "Wife! Do you remember my buddy who passed away?"

Lin Xia immediately thought of him, "Are you talking about the person in the photo frame on the bookshelf in our room at Grandpa’s house?"

She remembered that when Lu Zheng had talked about him, there was a pained look in his eyes. He had mentioned his son was especially intelligent and sensible, and he said he’d like for her to meet him someday!

Lu Zheng nodded, his eyes filled with sorrow, "Yes! That’s him! His wife called me, wanting their child to transfer schools to the provincial city here! Then she would also come over with the kid!"

Lin Xia pressed further, "How old is his son?"

At that time, Lu Zheng had only mentioned it in passing, and she hadn’t felt it appropriate to ask for specifics.

Therefore, she had no clue about the circumstances of his buddy’s wife and child.

"He’s in third grade now, and he’ll be in fourth grade when school starts again!"

Seeing Lu Zheng’s mood was low, Lin Xia felt upset as well and hurriedly tried to cheer him up, "Don’t feel bad! I think transferring schools shouldn’t be too difficult, right? His wife shouldn’t be very old either; if she is willing to work hard and endure hardship, she can definitely make a good life for herself!"

In Lin Xia’s view, this matter didn’t seem very difficult, the key was whether the mother and child had the determination to make a good life for themselves.

Lu Zheng held Lin Xia close, his voice low, "Wife! I know it’s not difficult! Actually, I felt particularly upset when I heard her mention the reason why the child wants to transfer schools!"

"What reason?"

"His wife has been living with the son in the county town, and the children in school bully him for not having a father..."

Lu Zheng’s mood was heavy, not because the matter of transferring schools was tough or not, but because he found it heartbreaking.

His best friend had died in an act of saving others, but his child was being bullied!

Lin Xia, feeling a profound sense of empathy, said with a heavy heart, "Then you’d better hurry up and help them with the school transfer! Such an environment is too damaging for a child!

As for his wife, see what she wants to do. If there’s no suitable job for her, get her to learn a skill in the garment factory! There’s no way I’ll let them suffer!"

Lin Xia and Lu Zheng weren’t short of money, but in a situation like this, it’s better to teach someone to fish rather than just give them fish.

Earning money through their own hard work, they would feel more confident and dignified when spending it.

"Wife! You’re so kind!" Lu Zheng knew before he came back that as long as he spoke honestly to his wife afterward, she would agree.

But when the reality unfolded just as he had anticipated, he was still touched and overjoyed.

"Don’t you know whose wife you are?" Lin Xia retorted with feigned arrogance.

Lu Zheng’s spirits lifted, casting aside his previous heaviness, "Right! Who else could be my wife? Lu Zheng’s wife is of course extraordinary!"

The next day, Lu Zheng set out to handle the matters concerning the mother and child.

Shao Meirou also heard about the situation and shared her thoughts with Lin Xia.

"Lin Xia! Here’s what I think. They’re not coming over for a short stay; they will live here permanently.

"Therefore, we really don’t have a place for them to stay at our home, so why don’t you and Xiaozheng find them a place to live? Something safe and comfortable!"

It’s not that she lacked compassion, but there really was no space for them at her home.

Moreover, Shao Meirou also had her own selfish reasons, Lu Zheng could help in any way with the wife and child left behind by his mate, but he could not bring them home.

Home is not a place where just anyone can move in, Lin Xia felt uncomfortable admitting it, but she had to make everything clear.

Lin Xia had actually sensed her mother-in-law’s thoughts, and she affectionately patted Shao Meirou’s shoulder, "Mom! We’ve already discussed it!

There are vacant rooms on the second floor of the garment factory right now! A simple clean-up and they’re fit to be lived in! He can take them straight there when he picks them up! It would also be convenient if she works at the factory!"

"That’s great! That’s great!" Shao Meirou was reassured, "But as newcomers, they should still come over for a meal!"

"Sure! Once Xiaozheng brings them back! We’ll make some delicious food!"

Lu Zheng quickly brought them over.

When they arrived, Lin Xia was not at home; only Shao Meirou and the others were there.

"Xiaozheng is back!" As Shao Meirou went out to greet them, she discreetly observed the people her son had brought back.

The woman was about thirty years old, of average height, with a pale and haggard face, but one could still make out that she must have been a pretty girl once.

The child’s height reached near the woman’s chin, with delicate features but eyes that betrayed restraint, nervousness, and fear.

Lu Zheng put down the large bag in his hand, "Mom! Grandpa! Let me introduce, this is Liang Wei, the wife of my buddy Cheng Yibin, and their son Cheng Wenfeng."

After they had greeted each other, Shao Meirou hospitably and politely entertained them, asking the housekeeper to wash some fruit and serve tea, and she also got some snacks for Cheng Wenfeng.

When Shao Meirou saw that Cheng Wenfeng didn’t seem interested in eating, she took the initiative to hand them to him, "Come on, child! Eat!"

Cheng Wenfeng looked at his mother and, after seeing her nod in agreement, carefully took them and whispered a thank you.

Shao Meirou felt sad for the boy; such a big lad, yet his demeanor was timid like a shy girl’s—it was no wonder he was bullied in school.

She asked with concern, "How are things with school being sorted out for the boy?"

Lu Zheng took a sip of water, "We’ll handle it tomorrow, there shouldn’t be any problems!"

"That’s great!" Shao Meirou looked at Liang Wei and said, "I don’t know if Lu Zheng has mentioned this, but my daughter-in-law owns a garment factory. If you want to work, you could try starting there!"

"He told me! I know a bit about sewing, I can do it!" Liang Wei was full of confusion and apprehension in this completely unfamiliar place, but for her son, there was nothing she couldn’t do, no hardship she couldn’t endure.

"Oh, that’s even better if you have some basics," at least it’s easier to get started than not knowing anything at all.

When Jingjing and Keke woke up and saw that their dad had come back and brought strangers, both children curiously stared at Cheng Wenfeng.

In front of the adults, Cheng Wenfeng was very reserved, but facing the two plump and cute children, he showed a faint smile.

After Lin Xia came back, Lu Zheng reintroduced them to each other.

Lin Xia had already felt sympathy for Liang Wei and her son before meeting them, and now after seeing Cheng Wenfeng so timid, her sympathy only grew.

After dinner, Liang Wei, not wanting to be a burden, took the initiative to go to the place they had arranged for her.

Lu Zheng and Lin Xia drove them both to their new place.
