Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 263 - 262: Stop Staring at Me
Chapter 263: Chapter 262: Stop Staring at Me
Wu Zhengyang got off work and returned home, just as he was pushing his bicycle into the hallway thinking of turning around to Lin Qiu’s store, Wu Zhenghong pulled him into the hair salon.
"What’s wrong, second sister?"
Wu Zhenghong, with a smiling face, whispered softly, "A man came to Lin Qiu’s house, you go ask what’s going on with Lin Xia..."
Wu Zhengyang, bearing Wu Zhenghong’s request, went to find Lin Qiu.
Lin Qiu was about to talk to him about watching a movie that evening.
"My sister’s friend is here, let’s all go watch a movie tonight!"
"Friend?" Wu Zhengyang asked with a smile, "A man?"
"Didn’t your sister tell you?" Lin Qiu had already heard the news.
Wu Zhengyang smiled gently, "She did! She was just curious and asked... him and your sister..."
"They are friends now!" Lin Qiu didn’t say much, even if they were in a relationship, she couldn’t tell him everything about her family’s affairs.
At noon, Lin Qiu locked the store, and everyone sat together for a meal.
Lin Xia had cooked eight dishes, and the four of them enjoyed their meal immensely.
Lin Dong offered his suggestion, "Big sister! How about Lu Zheng and I go to Haizi’s house this afternoon to ask? His grandfather might have some! If not, he could ask someone else..."
He had gone to the mountains with his big sister before to try picking some, but the chances of finding anything by themselves were too slim.
"Sure!" Lin Xia had no objections, she turned to Lu Zheng and asked, "But Lu Zheng, are you tired?"
Since getting off the train that morning, he hadn’t even laid down to rest.
"No worries!"
"Then go early and come back early! Don’t miss the last ride!"
"Don’t worry, big sister!"
After eating, Lu Zheng and Lin Dong set off.
Lin Xia took a lunchbox full of food to Liu Caifeng in the greenhouse.
Liu Caifeng gratefully thanked her and then ate on the side.
Zheng Haiyun, seeing Lin Xia counting money, was ultimately too curious and asked, "Is that man your boyfriend?"
Lin Xia turned her head to look at her, "No!"
It can be said that ever since Dazhou stopped coming to the stall, their relationship with Zheng Haiyun had become very strained; they hardly spoke at all nowadays.
Zheng Haiyun, seeing that Lin Xia was ignoring her and just counting money, felt extremely dissatisfied.
From the very first time she met Lin Xia, Zheng Haiyun found her disagreeable, especially since Dazhou always said he was taking care of her because his friend asked him to.
She had initially thought Dazhou’s friend was Lin Xia’s boyfriend.
Late, she found out that wasn’t the case.
Who knows what Mr. Jiang would feel knowing there’s a man around Lin Xia now?
Anyway, she definitely had to mention it to Dazhou when she got home that evening.
Lu Zheng and Lin Dong returned quite quickly, and just as Lin Xia was about to close up the stall, they both came to the greenhouse together.
Seeing the cloth bag in Lu Zheng’s hand, Lin Xia guessed they must have found some.
"How much?"
Lin Dong, while helping close the stall, said, "Haizi’s grandfather had two, and he even took us to another old friend’s house, getting a total of eight! However, his grandfather said if we wanted more, it was too rushed today, but he’d ask around for us..."
"That’s great!"
Lu Zheng also started to help, and Liu Caifeng couldn’t even join in.
Lin Xia told her to knock off and go home early.
After tidying up and heading out, Lu Zheng pushed the cart, while Lin Xia and Lin Dong walked alongside.
Only then did Lin Dong glance at Lin Xia’s expression before suggesting, "Big sister! How about we go to the movies with Lu Zheng after dinner?"
"Lu Zheng! Aren’t you tired?"
"Not tired!" Where would Lu Zheng feel tired? He had never watched a movie with Lin Xia before.
Lin Xia rubbed Lin Dong’s head, "Then let’s go!"
The three of them laughed and talked all the way home.
Lin Qiu had locked the door and was busy heating up the meal so it was ready to eat when they arrived.
Before they had even finished eating, Wu Zhengyang arrived at their home, looking spruced up.
Lin Xia busied herself introducing him.
Lu Zheng shook hands and greeted Wu Zhengyang, both understanding the relationship they would have in the future.
When they arrived at the cinema, Lu Zheng went to buy the movie tickets, Wu Zhengyang bought sunflower seeds and soda, and even called Lin Dong over to help carry them.
Lin Xia and Lin Qiu looked at each other and smiled, now they were the most relaxed.
Lin Qiu, arm in arm with Lin Xia, whispered, "Sis! Now that Big Brother Lu is here, shouldn’t we go out for some fun?"
"Where should we go?"
"Anywhere is fine! Climbing, or maybe to the big river! You see, Dongzi hasn’t really had a fun summer vacation, and we’ve been busy too... He’s going back to school in a few days..."
Lin Xia knew her sister was speaking the truth and pondered for a moment, "Let’s skip climbing and go to the big river, it’s closer to our home!"
Lin Qiu was thrilled, but she was never one to show too much emotion.
"That’s great! Sis! We can even catch some fish!"
Seeing the excitement in Lin Qiu’s eyes, Lin Xia sighed internally; she had been so focused on making money that she hadn’t really taken her siblings out for fun.
Even now, not lacking money, she hadn’t realized that they were still under twenty and still wanted to play.
Lin Dong followed behind Wu Zhengyang, holding the soda, and when he saw Lin Qiu whispering to him and lowering her eyes, he knew his second sister had persuaded his eldest sister.
Lin Xia told them, "Let’s go to the big river tomorrow!"
Not only because of Lu Zheng’s visit, but she also realized that when it’s time to have fun, one should, because missed time is lost forever, never to return to that exact moment.
Now, their family wasn’t short of money or time.
Lu Zheng smiled, "Good!"
Wu Zhengyang responded enthusiastically, "I’ll take a day off tomorrow to join you! I still have the fishing gear at home!"
Since he started dating Lin Qiu, apart from watching movies, he hadn’t really done anything else.
Now that his future brother-in-law was here, he naturally wanted to make a good impression.
"Good!"
Everyone walked into the cinema very happily.
Lin Dong’s smile was exceptionally wide as he walked next to Lu Zheng, whispering, "Big Brother Lu, how will you thank me?"
Lu Zheng promised right away, "I’ll give you a handmade gift! I’ll bring it next time!"
Lin Dong was delighted, "Big Brother Lu, I’ll be waiting!"
In the cinema, movies played on the big screen.
Lin Xia was sitting between Lu Zheng and Lin Dong, while Lin Qiu and Wu Zhengyang sat next to Lin Dong.
Out of the five people, probably only Lin Dong was truly focused on the movie.
Lu Zheng turned to look at Lin Xia, and even without speaking, just looking at her profile made him exceedingly content.
Lin Xia faced forward, feeling the intense gaze of the person next to her searing her.
Finally, she couldn’t bear it any longer and turned to him, "Watch the movie, will you!"
"No! I’m watching you!" Lu Zheng had no interest in the movie, besides, what movie could be more captivating than Lin Xia?
Lin Xia was both embarrassed and annoyed, this man was flirting with her regardless of the time and place.
Yet, waves of emotion uncontrollably rose in her heart.
She whispered fiercely, "Stop looking at me! Watch the movie!"
Lu Zheng agreed but still turned to look at her, his eyes and eyebrows filled with a doting smile.
Lin Xia had no way to deal with him, so she focused all her attention on the movie playing, trying to ignore the disturbance his gaze caused her.
Lin Dong glanced around at the others when he had a chance, chuckling to himself.
On his left was his second sister and brother-in-law, on his right his eldest sister and brother-in-law, and he sat right in the middle... just perfect.
