Chapter 185: Chapter 185: That Won’t Do_1

"Sis... you truly are my own sister!" Upon hearing her words, Uncle Lin’s eyes moistened slightly as he fought back tears, holding her hand. "Sister, thank you. Bao’er, go fetch some paper and a pen for me, I need to write an IOU to your mother."

Even though his own sister was willing to give him the money directly, Uncle Lin did not intend to shamelessly accept it without an agreement to pay it back.

"What IOU? Bao’er, don’t you dare bring a pen and paper." Mrs. Xia held onto Xia Ningxing, glancing at her own brother. "We’re all family. Why are you behaving like such a stranger? Consider this money as my investment in you, no need to repay it."

"That won’t do!" Uncle Lin was exceptionally stubborn, and even Mrs. Cheng shared this attitude.

She loved her daughter too much to let her son take advantage of her.

Aunt Lin also didn’t want to take advantage of anyone.

So, if Mrs. Xia truly didn’t want an IOU, then they would not accept her money.

Eventually, Mrs. Xia had no choice but to give in to the two of them, sighing, "Alright, alright, alright, is it okay if I agree to let Jianren write an IOU for me to pay back?"

Really, it was as though she was the one in need of borrowing money!

Mrs. Xia really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at this situation.

After Uncle Lin had written the IOU, Mrs. Xia took out thirty thousand yuan from the account room inside the house and gave it to him.

Uncle Lin accepted the money with thousands of thanks, then hurriedly and carefully folded up the fruit and medicinal wine recipe that Xia Ningxing had written for him, placing it in the inner pocket of his shirt.

After they left, Xia Ningxing suddenly seemed to remember something. She blinked and looked towards her family, "Dad, Mom, and brothers, aren’t you curious about how I know how to make fruit and medicinal wine?"

"Curious about what? It’s nothing more than something you learned from books or dreamt up," Mrs. Xia said nonchalantly, her face expressing an ’we’re accustomed to it’ demeanor.

Xia Jiehao and his five brothers shared the same expression.

Xia Ningxing: "..."

Very good, this doting halo!

Now she didn’t even have to come up with excuses herself; they could think them up on their own.

...

Uncle Lin was a clever man. With the recipe for the fruit and medicinal wine and the funds, he immediately got down to business properly.

He even roped in a friend to join the venture.

His friend, a year-round trader, knew many businessmen, whom he introduced.

Uncle Lin suddenly became a supplier and now had a monthly income of at least twenty to thirty thousand.

In the first month of profit, Uncle Lin paid back the money he owed to Xia Ningxing’s family.

To express gratitude to Xia Ningxing, Uncle Lin set aside all his work to prepare a dinner at home specifically for her.

Midway through the meal, Uncle Lin’s eldest daughter, Lin Jiajia, returned from school. She looked somewhat pale, her lips trembling slightly, as if she had encountered something unpleasant. She rushed into the house without eating and immediately locked herself in her room.

"What’s the matter with you, girl? Why are you running into your room? Didn’t you see that your aunt’s family is here? How could you not even greet us?" Uncle Lin was furious.

Mrs. Xia and Xia Jiehao quickly interjected, "It’s okay, there’s no need to fuss over a child."

"I’m so sorry, it’s probably because Jiajia is under a lot of academic pressure lately." Aunt Lin was equally embarrassed, considering how impolite her child had been.

"Jiajia?" Hearing this name, Xia Ningxing dropped her chopsticks in shock, her eyes wide open as she stared at Aunt Lin, "Aunt, my cousin’s name is Lin Jiajia?"

Usually, everyone was so used to calling each other by nicknames, and since they didn’t meet often, Xia Ningxing had no idea what her cousin’s full name was.
