Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts

Chapter 42: Cant Both of Them Be My Sister-in-law?

Moving?

This is a familiar yet unfamiliar term.

In Mei Fangs previous life, when he was in third grade, Mei Fangs father chose to break away from the system and open a business, but ended up losing a lot of money and the familys finances became very poor. Although the debt was not as exaggerated as Xia Yuans family, it still made Mei Fangs familys financial situation very difficult, and they had to move out of the community and return to their old house in their hometown. The location was actually still in the county town, not too far from the school, just a bit far from Xia Yuans house, which Mei Fang could accept.

In this life, because of Mei Yas birth and the existence of the lottery prize, the original flow was disrupted, and Mei Lijun did not choose to break away from the system, only his wife, Xiang Xiaoxia. However, did Mei Lijun not start a business in this life? Has the familys financial situation become so difficult?

Little Mei Ya, the gold-swallowing behemoth, hasnt even begun to show her true strength, right?

Dad, why do we have to move? I just made friends with the kids at kindergarten, and I really like it here

Little Mei Ya showed a very reluctant expression.

Well, thats because

Mei Lijun impatiently displayed a letter of appointment in front of everyone.

Ta-da! Everyone, take a look!

Hey, Lin Youxi is still here Dont act like a child!

Its okay if Lin Youxi knows, she was supposed to know anyway.

Mei Lijun somewhat showily said, Actually, because of my excellent work performance, I have been promoted and will be transferred to Baizhou City^[1] as a cadre at the department level.

Department level? Are you kidding me?

Mei Fang never expected that his father in this life would have such achievements within the system. Mei Lijun and his wife had children early, and this year, at the age of 30, he was promoted to the department level, which was considered a rapid promotion.

Was it because he had to raise a daughter and a son at the same time, which increased his sense of responsibility, leading to a significant improvement in his work attitude? Or was it that this position was originally his, but because he left the system back then, he missed the opportunity for promotion? In any case, a small lottery ticket bought by Mei Fang caused various waves in his family.

A sister being born and father being promoted, the twists and turns of life are truly unpredictable.

But this also means

Dad, are you saying that we have to move to Baizhou and live with you?

Yes, we have to move to Baizhou as a family.

Mei Lijun nodded, Although its a bit rushed, your mom and I have already discussed it and are planning to buy a house in Baizhou City. Baigang High School^[2] in Baizhou is a nationally renowned good school. If you study there in high school, you will have a better chance of getting into a good university in the future.

What should we do with the house in Baimei County?

Sell this house and keep only the old house in our hometown. Then use the money to buy a bigger house in Baizhou.

Why do we need a big house? This place is already good, Mei Fang shook his head. I dont want to go.

Xiang Xiaoxia persuaded Mei Fang in a gentle manner, Look at your sister, Little Ya, shes growing up, and both of you need your own rooms.

Why do we have to sleep separately? Cant I sleep with Mom and Dad or with my brother?

Mei Ya became unhappy after hearing this and started to complain, I dont want to sleep alone! I will wet the bed, wuwu

While Mei Fang was struggling with how to handle the future arrangements, he noticed that Lin Youxi had been lowering her head and holding her bowl quietly, not moving at all.

Everyone also noticed this special guest in the house.

Due to her family background, Mei Lijun had always taken care of the little girl Lin Youxi. Seeing her sad appearance, he felt a little sorry for her.

Lin Youxi, its okay. Even if our family goes to Baizhou, we will still come back to stay during holidays and weekends. You can still come to my house to play, and you can always be friends with Xia Yuan and our Mei Fang.

While Mei Lijun was comforting her, Lin Youxi suddenly stood up from her chair.

She didnt say anything and never lifted her head.

Then she walked straight to the door.

She ran out without even changing her shoes.

Mei Fang quickly changed his shoes and followed.

Ill go follow her!

Arent you going to finish your meal?

No! Mei Fangs voice was already far outside the hallway.

Mei Lijun was leisurely enjoying his chicken soup when he was harshly knocked on the head by Xiang Xiaoxia.

Hey, what did I do wrong?

I told you not to say it in front of Lin Youxi, but you didnt listen. Whats the point of showing off in front of a child? Look at how capable you are.

Whats wrong with me? I just wanted to share my excitement with my son. Is that wrong?

Dad is such a big fool.

While Mei Ya scooped the rice soup into her mouth, she imitated her mothers gestures and said, You made big sister Lin Youxi cry.

Did she cry? I didnt see it, Mei Lijun said discontentedly. Besides, Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan will find out sooner or later. Whats the difference?

They both like our Mei Fang so much. Suddenly saying we are moving will naturally make them sad.

Whats the use of a childs liking?

Mei Lijun teased while picking his teeth, No matter how much they like him, they will forget about it when they grow up. Do you really expect Lin Youxi to be your daughter-in-law? You just feel sorry for her because she doesnt have a mother.

At first, maybe it was like that, Xiang Xiaoxia thought for a moment, but theres always an indescribable sense of familiarity with that child. Anyway, the more I look after her, the more I like her. Ive always treated her like my own daughter.

I have something to say about that, Mei Lijun frowned, Lin Youxi is fine as a goddaughter, but she can be mischievous sometimes. If we really want Mei Fang to marry someone, I think Yuan Yuan would be more suitable. Yuan Yuan is knowledgeable, sensible, and obedient

You think Xia Yuan is good? But youre just banking on their familys red wine and money! Shameless.

Thats right! Little Mei Ya chimed in.

Hey, you two, dont gang up on me, okay! Xia Yuans family isnt as well-off as before! I just really think she and Mei Fang are a perfect match, destined for each other.

But whats the use of talking about this now? Mei Fang is going to study in Baizhou.

Xiang Xiaoxia sighed, After staying in Baimei for so many years, to be honest, Im quite reluctant to leave.

Mom, cant we not go to Baizhou City? Little Mei Ya tilted her head and said, I dont want to go either.

Adults have many things they have to do, when you grow up, youll understand.

Mei Lijun took a deep breath. He also had feelings for his hometown, but as a man, he should prioritize his career. This was also for the sake of providing a better life for his family.

Mei Lijun curiously asked Little Mei Ya, Speaking of which, if your brother really ends up with Lin Youxi or Xia Yuan in the future, who would you want to be your sister-in-law?

Xiang Xiaoxia glared at her husband, Why are you talking about this with a child? She doesnt know what sister-in-law means.

I know, its my brothers wife, right?

Little Mei Ya stood with her hands on her hips and smiled, Dont underestimate me just because Im young, I know everything!

So, who do you want to be your sister-in-law? From what you just said, it seems like you prefer Lin Youxi more, right?

Mei Ya crossed her arms and pondered for a while, then furrowed her brow and asked her parents, Cant both of them be my sister-in-law?

Of course not!

Mei Ya furrowed her brow and thought for a while, finally coming to a conclusion.

In that case, Ill help my brother find someone to be my sister-in-law, wouldnt that be good?

Mei Lijun and Xiang Xiaoxia couldnt help but laugh at this innocent statement.
