Chapter 164: 073: Maintenance_2

What if Lin Guixiang came empty-handed tonight?

Gifts can’t represent feelings.

Mother Zhao continued, "I can tell those are all good things. I’ve seen that baby formula on TV ads; it’s over three hundred yuan a can."

"Then why were you talking about my aunt just before this?"

Mother Zhao pursed her lips, "Isn’t it all for you, for your little family? Tell me, if those two kept living in your house, would you still have a life?"

Having said this, Mother Zhao sighed, "Your aunt has changed so much, I almost didn’t recognize her."

In Mother Zhao’s view, Lin Guixiang’s changes were not just in appearance.

There were other things too.

But she couldn’t quite put her finger on what it was.

"The changes are indeed significant," Zhao Cui Nong laughed, "Now there are people starting to arrange marriage proposals for my sister."

Mother Zhao immediately looked at Zhao Cui Nong, "Is it someone local from Qing City?"

"I don’t know." Zhao Cui Nong shook her head, "My aunt is not interested in looking for someone right now; she outright refused."

Mother Zhao frowned slightly, feeling Lin Guixiang’s intelligence was somewhat lacking.

"A woman only has so many golden years, and besides, she’s divorced and has a child to look after. If the man has decent conditions, and he’s local, she should just agree!"

"Mom, who are you calling a burden?" Zhao Cui Nong was not pleased to hear this.

"Xiao Wu, of course." Mother Zhao said matter-of-factly, "If she isn’t a burden, then what is she?"

Zhao Cui Nong’s face hardened, "Mom, Xiao Wu is the lucky star of our entire Lin Family! Please stop saying such things in the future. I don’t like hearing them, and neither does Bingqiang!"

If her mother hadn’t been visiting Qing City for the first day, and she hadn’t wanted to avoid a quarrel, she would have thought about packing up and sending her mother off that very night.

Hearing this, Mother Zhao was speechless.

She felt that her daughter’s brain must have broken during these few days in Qing City.

Why defend a little girl so vehemently?

"What luck has she brought?"

Zhao Cui Nong continued, "Without Xiao Wu, we couldn’t have opened our skincare shop, and without Xiao Wu, Bingqiang and I would never have been able to buy a store in Qing City. Mom, one should be grateful and repay kindness."

Although she was just chatting with her mother, Zhao Cui Nong felt she had to make her stance clear.

It was important for her mother to understand Lin Wu’s status in the Lin Family.

Otherwise, how would it be if Mother Zhao spoke carelessly in front of Lin Wu?

Such things could become a big deal.

Hearing this, Mother Zhao frowned slightly and didn’t think these accomplishments were brought by Lin Wu.

She felt it was her daughter’s good fortune.

Maybe Lin Guixiang and Lin Wu were just riding on her daughter’s coattails.

"I was just saying something off the cuff, what are you getting angry about?" Mother Zhao picked up an orange and started peeling it slowly, "Besides, I’m only thinking of what’s best for your aunt! You’re a woman too, you should know being a single woman is hard. If someone is willing to marry her now, of course you should rush into it."

A widow’s doorstep invites trouble.

If Lin Guixiang stayed unmarried, who knew what troubles might arise in the future.

"Whether she marries or not is my sister’s business, why are you meddling?" Zhao Cui Nong continued, "Mom, haven’t I said, you better not interfere in my sister’s affairs!"

Upon hearing this, Mother Zhao suddenly felt the orange in her hand lost its appeal, "Cui Nong, make it clear, I’m your mother, we share the same blood. There’s no need for you to attack me over someone else, is there?"

After finishing her sentence, Mother Zhao added, "Moreover, your aunt isn’t even related by blood to your man. Who knows whether she’ll acknowledge you all once she finds out about this!"

The heart is inscrutable, who knows what Lin Guixiang might do in the future?

"My aunt is definitely not that kind of person!"

Mother Zhao snorted coldly, "Oh, so you’re the worm in her stomach, eh."

Her daughter really couldn’t grasp the essentials.

Better to trust a stranger than her own mother.

Zhao Cui Nong frowned, "Mom, I’ll say it again, you don’t need to stick your nose into my sister’s affairs. You just need to make sure you eat well, drink well, and enjoy yourself."

Being of an older age, she should do what old people are expected to do.

Mother Zhao seemed like she wanted to say something, but this was her son-in-law’s home, and fighting with her daughter over Lin Guixiang, especially if Lin Bingqiang saw, would not look good.

Not to mention anything else, she quite liked Lin Bingqiang, her son-in-law, and didn’t want to harbor any grudge over minor issues.

"I know, I know." Mother Zhao nodded absentmindedly.

Not long after.

Lin Bingqiang returned home with Lin Guodong.

Zhao Cui Nong was mopping the floor in the living room, and Lin Bingqiang asked, "Where’s Mom?"

"She went back to sleep." Zhao Cui Nong said.

Lin Bingqiang nodded.
