CHAPTER 599: CHAPTER 599: DID LIN JIAYI GET DIVORCED?

Seeing the watermelon, Lin Chuxia knew it was grown by Brother Qin Liang’s family, and she hurriedly asked Qin Yang to cut half of it for her. She took a spoon and started scooping out and eating the watermelon directly.

Little Yaoyao was now crawling really fast on four legs. She saw the big watermelon, babbling as she crawled over, drooling long before she even got to eat it.

Lin Chuxia scooped a spoonful of watermelon and deliberately waved it in front of her, but didn’t put it in her mouth, making the little girl so anxious she finally called out for her mom.

That soft, milky voice melted Lin Chuxia’s heart.

Just like that, the two of them ate the watermelon, one spoonful at a time, feeling completely at ease.

In the afternoon, Wang Cheng, after hearing the news, came over and brought the relevant documents from the vegetable station with him.

Lin Chuxia took the documents with a smile and said, "Brother Wang, you’re always so thoughtful."

Wang Cheng confidently waved his hand, "Actually, you don’t even need these documents. Whatever you want to know, just ask me. I’ve been working at the vegetable station for almost 20 years; I even know how many rats are nesting there."

Lin Chuxia chuckled, "I’ll leave this matter to you then, Brother Wang. To be honest, I’ve taken a liking to this place, but with my current situation, funds are quite limited to buy it, so about the price..."

"Don’t worry about it, leave it to me," Wang Cheng understood even without her saying, "I’ve already inquired about it for you. The vegetable station is under liquidation due to bankruptcy, and the price shouldn’t be too high. If your future plans can get government support, we might be able to negotiate this number down further."

Lin Chuxia glanced at the figure he indicated, understanding what kind of government support he referred to.

It’s nothing more than doing related industries like the old food factory; even the staff at the vegetable station can be suitably placed.

Lin Chuxia directly said, "Brother Wang, the Qin Family Village’s vegetable wholesale market won’t change. I see other uses for the vegetable station."

"Alright, I understand," Wang Cheng didn’t say much, just agreed directly.

Actually, when he thought about it, not moving the Qin Family Village’s vegetable wholesale market seemed fine.

In Qin Family Village, in winter, the vegetables from the greenhouses could quickly be stored, avoiding the hassle and loss during transportation.

Lin Chuxia was a resident of Qin Family Village, so naturally, she would consider the villagers’ interests.

.........

Handling the vegetable station matter wasn’t too problematic; it could be resolved within a few days.

Lin Chuxia stayed directly in the village, planning to return to the city after everything was settled.

In the evening, she and Qin Yang took a trip to Ancheng First High School to bring some clothes and living expenses for Lin Jiadong.

Lin Jiadong had just returned from the weekend, and upon hearing someone was looking for him at the school gate, he saw it was Lin Chuxia and immediately showed his big white teeth.

"Second Sister, why are you here? I’m doing fine, you don’t need to make a special trip to see me."

Seeing Lin Chuxia’s big belly, Lin Jiadong was deeply touched.

When Lin Chuxia handed him the clothes and money, he was so moved that he nearly cried.

"Second Sister, I have enough clothes and money," he sniffed and couldn’t help but tell Lin Chuxia about the family’s matters.

"I didn’t intend for you to know, thought family matters are always a mess. Our eldest sister divorced; she’s at home now. Oh, Second Sister, don’t go home anytime soon."

"Eldest Sister got divorced?"

Lin Chuxia knew that Lin Jiayi and Li Guangyuan’s life was chaotic and unexpected, but she didn’t expect her to have such courage.

"Yeah, they divorced a few days ago, and she didn’t keep the child. Also, there’s one more thing, Second Sister, do you know we have a wealthy relative?"

Lin Chuxia shook her head, "What wealthy relative? How wealthy?"

She worried that this silly brother’s perception might differ from hers, and she laughed as she asked.

Lin Jiadong thought seriously, "I don’t know how rich exactly, but they drove a nice car to visit us, and dressed well. They were good to our eldest sister, bought her a lot of new clothes..."

Halfway through his explanation, Lin Jiadong changed his mind, "Can’t really say that. They did buy Eldest Sister a lot of clothes, but if they hadn’t given her so many new clothes and money, Eldest Sister wouldn’t have divorced Brother-in-law. You know what Eldest Sister is like, looking down on Brother-in-law for not earning enough. She’s obsessed with getting rich, and now that she actually did, she despises him even more, even doesn’t want the kid. So is this good for her or not?"

He wasn’t clear on the specifics, he just learned upon going home this time that her Eldest Sister had divorced, and the family now has this wealthy relative.

When he asked his mom, she just said they’ve always been around, just distant relatives.

She also urged him to focus on studying and not to worry about family matters.

He knew his mom always treated him like a child, but he was already eighteen, practically an adult.

Even Lin Chuxia was a bit confused, she really didn’t know there was a wealthy relative in the Lin Family.

Although she wasn’t very close with the Lin Family, she maintained contact in her past life and never heard of a wealthy relative.

But whether or not there’s such a relative doesn’t concern her.

She wouldn’t go back to her family, didn’t want to deal with Lin Jiayi, preferring to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Since Mom doesn’t want you involved in family matters, don’t get involved. Focus on studying at school. Whether the relatives are wealthy or not is their business, unrelated to us. We should manage ourselves well, as only what we’ve learned and earned belong to us."

Lin Jiadong nodded heavily, "Got it, Second Sister. I think so too. Didn’t our ancestors say? If you take people’s things, you’re at their mercy, and when you eat at their table, you’re beholden to them."

He understood such simple logic, but couldn’t fathom why his mom and his eldest sister didn’t.

Even as distant relatives, Eldest Sister divorced because of them.

But Second Sister’s right, he can’t manage family matters. Whether it’s his mom or his eldest sister, to them, he’s just a chick, and his words don’t count.

Better to study hard and tend his own business.

Lin Chuxia was quite happy with his attitude, recalling past events, she gave him another piece of advice.

"Next year is the college entrance exam, it’s a turning point in your life. You must grasp this opportunity well and set high standards for yourself in this final year. I know the boys your age secrete hormones heavily, some things should be considered later, don’t break school rules."

Lin Jiadong didn’t quite understand Lin Chuxia’s meaning at first and asked puzzled, "Second Sister, why would I break school rules? I’m very well-behaved at school."

"Of course, I believe you. But I also know my brother is outstanding, upright and good at studying. It’s natural for female classmates to fancy you, but I think there’s no one worth pausing for at this stage, is there?"
