Lin Yu had been quiet since she got married and did actually keep to herself for a while.
But once her pregnancy began to show, and she came to the store and ran into Lin Xia, she carried her face high with pride, occasionally snorting with disdain.
Lin Xia had no interest in engaging with her, lest she blame Lin Xia if she were to have a miscarriage.
After the New Year, business was typically slow. Lin Xia knew this pattern, so she wasn't anxious or frazzled about it, taking it as a chance to rest when things weren't busy.
Ding Ling and Sun Xiaoli in the shop watched this stark contrast and both felt a bit indignant on behalf of Lin Xia.
There's a mutual understanding between people, some you can confide in, and others you can't.
Lin Xia felt touched, she hadn't misjudged them.
She told them to occupy themselves with knitting or other crafts during the slower times.
However, Chen Gang's family across the street couldn't accept this.
