Chapter 843: Chapter 842 Rest and Recuperation, Recruiting People

In this era, whether in cities or rural areas, there’s a widespread preference for boys over girls. This is a deeply ingrained belief, as if a family without a son is doomed.

Lin Xia knows that even in the 1990s, the situation remains unchanged.

Lin Qiu and Kang Yijun can only have one child, and now that they have a son, everyone is genuinely happy.

Lin Qiu, a new mother, besides having trouble adjusting to her new identity, also lacks some necessary childcare experience.

Lin Xia takes the opportunity to share some tips with her sister, while Shao Meirou occasionally interjects her own viewpoints.

Jingjing and Keke, standing by the bed, are extremely curious about their aunt’s baby, observing quietly and intently.

Lin Xia and the others couldn’t stay much longer at Lin Qiu’s place and hurried back after spending one night.

Upon returning home, Lin Xia’s life resumed its previous routine.

Not long after, in the office, Liang Wei was discussing business with Lin Xia. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen, scaring Lin Xia, who quickly rushed her to the hospital.

After a thorough examination, the doctor said there were signs of a threatened miscarriage and advised her to avoid strenuous activities and to rest in bed for recuperation.

“Okay, we will definitely ensure complete bed rest.”

Lin Xia knows that Liang Wei’s pregnancy is not easy, and she certainly offers her full support.

Now, nothing is more important than Liang Wei and the baby in her belly.

If anything goes wrong, her grandfather and uncle will be heartbroken.

Liang Wei can’t afford to be careless; this is unlike other matters.

If the baby in her belly is lost, it’s hard to say when she might get pregnant again.

Her father-in-law is elderly, and no one knows if he will live to see that day.

She worriedly asks, “Lin Xia, what about the factory?”

Lin Xia casually waves her hand, “Aunt, don’t worry about the factory. I was already recruiting new staff. Your health is the priority now. Let me take you home first.”

Liang Wei realizes that saying more won’t help and helplessly replies, “Alright then.”

Lin Xia drives Liang Wei home and doesn’t rush to leave.

Lin Xia asks, “Do you want me to call my uncle?”

“Yes, let’s call him. I am really scared.” When Liang Wei hears there’s a risk of miscarriage, she becomes utterly flustered. Without Lin Xia’s presence, she wouldn’t know what to do.

Liang Wei calls Shao Xingbang, while Lin Xia heads into the kitchen.

She opens the refrigerator, checks the ingredients, and cooks a bowl of noodles for Liang Wei.

When Lin Xia comes out of the kitchen with the noodles, Liang Wei has finished her call.

“What did my uncle say?”

“He said he’ll rush back after taking care of what’s at hand.” She didn’t mention how worried Shao Xingbang sounded on the phone, repeatedly urging her to follow the doctor’s orders and rest in bed.

“It’s good that my uncle can come back. It’s reassuring to have someone by your side during such times.” Lin Xia sees a bit more color in Liang Wei’s face, indicating her uncle’s urgency.

Liang Wei gratefully says, “Lin Xia, thank you so much for making me noodles.”

“Aunt, no need to be polite. I was worried you might be hungry. The ingredients were ready, so I made something simple. Eat while it’s hot.” Despite the generational gap, Lin Xia and Liang Wei have developed a deep bond over time, and Lin Xia truly sees her as family, making such gestures insignificant in her eyes.

Liang Wei eats some hot noodle soup, feeling warm and comfortable.

She brings up the topic again, “Lin Xia, is it easy to find good people?”

Lin Xia started recruiting after the New Year but hasn’t found suitable candidates yet.

Several people came for interviews, but due to various reasons, negotiations didn’t go through.

Now, facing sudden events and unable to go to the factory, she feels anxious.

Lin Xia reassures Liang Wei, “Don’t worry, Aunt. I asked Stone to help look. Hopefully, there will be news in the coming days. Besides, it’s just temporary help, not difficult to find.”

The reason Lin Xia hasn’t found suitable people is due to her high standards, ensuring they are pleasing and have good character. She also investigates their background to avoid hiring someone with malicious intent.

Liang Wei can only say, “Okay, make sure you remind him.”

“Alright. You rest and don’t worry about these things. Even if I can’t find anyone temporarily, I can handle it alone.”

Seeing Liang Wei’s tired eyes, Lin Xia cleans up and leaves shortly after.

Two days later, Stone indeed finds two candidates for Lin Xia, introduced by friends of friends.

A man and a woman, both came for an interview.

Lin Xia’s impression of the man was mediocre, noting he appeared overly shrewd from his behaviors.

Being shrewd isn’t bad, but she dislikes excessive shrewdness.

The woman, named Yang Liu, in her twenties, has a delicate appearance and good demeanor, a vocational school graduate, and her manners seemed fine.

After an interview, Lin Xia kept Yang Liu for a three-day probationary period.

Yang Liu and the man left the clothing factory together and parted ways at the door.

Yang Liu leisurely walked, occasionally glancing at her surroundings, then reached a bus stop and boarded a bus.

After getting off, she walked through two streets and turned into a restaurant.

In a private room on the second floor, a beautiful, fashionable woman was waiting for her alone.

Yang Liu sweetly smiled at her, “Sister, have you been waiting long?”

This person was Meng Xiangzi.

“No, I just arrived. How did it go?” Meng Xiangzi was very concerned about her situation.

When Lin Xia and her in-laws took their baby to her sister’s, Meng Xiangzi missed a great opportunity, feeling regretful for a long time.

Who could have known Lin Xia’s sister would give birth so suddenly, and they would leave so abruptly, leaving no time for her people to follow?

Later, she thought of other means.

But none seemed as reliable as infiltrating the enemy’s ranks and plotting slowly.

“I got it. Three-day probation. I’m confident she’ll keep me.” Yang Liu was brimming with confidence, believing her abilities would ensure she stayed.

It’s just a clothing factory; she’s a top student.

Meng Xiangzi disliked her arrogant attitude and coldly remarked, “Yang Liu, it’s good to stay humble. Don’t you know there’s always someone better?”

“Yes, sister, I know. I’m sorry.” Yang Liu quickly apologized and flattered Meng Xiangzi, “Sister, I met Lin Xia today. She didn’t seem very pretty, and her dressing wasn’t fashionable. She didn’t look like a boss at all.”

These words pleased Meng Xiangzi, “She has a husband and children. Being pretty and fashionable isn’t important.”

“Sister, I think she’s far behind you, not even comparable to your pinky nail.”

Yang Liu thought her words would make Meng Xiangzi happier, but she frowned, “Stop talking nonsense!”
