Chapter 659: Chapter 659: Worried

Old Mrs. Jia even patted her chest to assure her that she would definitely take good care of Qin Juan.

After all, the child Qin Juan is carrying is the precious grandchild of the Old Jia Family, and Jia Liang is already in his thirties. How could she not cherish this hard-won child?

With these words, Mrs. Qin could only go back, reminding the two of them to call her if there was anything, and she would come over.

The food factory frequently delivers goods to the city; catching a ride is very convenient for her.

After the full month celebration, life became stable again.

Zhuang Jingshu stayed in the family quarters to help Lin Chuxia take care of the baby. Occasionally, Zhuang Yang would come over, and the two would discuss work-related matters either in the courtyard or in the guest room.

Most of the time, it was Zhuang Yang reporting to Zhuang Jingshu, who would then give instructions.

Sometimes, Lin Chuxia was present, and they didn’t hide anything from her, mostly regarding matters of the An City Vegetable Station.

Lin Jiayi is not Zhuang Jingshu’s biological daughter, so naturally, the ownership of the vegetable station would be reclaimed.

Zhuang Jingshu began to make new plans for the vegetable station, which Lin Chuxia wasn’t interested in.

She knew that Zhuang Jingshu was a woman with a strong career drive.

But she worried that juggling childcare and work might be too much for her, so from the day she moved into the family quarters, Lin Chuxia replaced all the home’s drinking water with spiritual spring water.

After the start of autumn, the weather was no longer so oppressively hot, and Qi Qi began to like being outside.

If she wasn’t taken outside for fresh air every day, the little one would get cranky.

On this day, Lin Chuxia and Zhuang Jingshu were cooling off in the courtyard with Qi Qi.

A chugging sound from a tractor approached, finally stopping at the gate.

Yuan Bao dutifully ran to block the gate, and soon Sun Bingnan appeared there, accompanied by Village Chief Sun, who was scrutinizing the surroundings.

“Uncle Sun, Third Brother, why are you here?”

Lin Chuxia quickly handed the child to Zhuang Jingshu and got up to greet them.

Sun Bingnan smiled and said, “We’ve long wanted to come see you and the child. We all miss you, knowing you’ve had the baby. We’d all have come if we weren’t worried about disturbing the child.”

“Feel free to come, it’s just the right time to visit the city,” Lin Chuxia said, taking the things from his hands.

Sun Bingnan leaned over slightly and whispered, “The whole family sent me as a representative to check on you. My dad insisted on coming, too. The peaches are ripe on the mountain. See, he’s worried to the point that his hair’s turning white. I told him you’d already arranged everything, but he didn’t believe it and insisted on coming to talk to you in person.”

Lin Chuxia did notice that Village Chief Sun didn’t have the same confident demeanor he used to have; it seemed he had faced quite some setbacks recently.

She glanced at Sun Bingnan again.

Is this his biological son?

Although Village Chief Sun was somewhat proud and complacent, the accomplishments of the Sun Family did give him enough reason for pride. However, his own son was intent on undermining him.

Sun Bingnan rubbed his nose and chuckled, “There are some things I can’t say, but you can.”

Lin Chuxia gave him a reassuring look and went to greet Village Chief Sun with a smile.

Village Chief Sun was just unloading chickens from the tractor. “These are old hens raised for two years by your aunt, good for making nourishing soup.”

“Uncle and aunt always think of me.”

Just as Lin Chuxia was about to reach out, Sun Bingnan stepped forward to take the chicken and put it directly into the chicken coop in the courtyard.

There was a small table in the courtyard, and Lin Chuxia invited the two inside, but the father and son sat directly under the big tree’s shade.

The child was too young, and upon seeing visitors, Zhuang Jingshu, worried they might startle the child, took the baby inside when Lin Chuxia got up.

From a glance earlier, both Village Chief Sun and Sun Bingnan recognized each other as the affluent woman recently gossiped about in the village and Lin Jiayi’s biological mother.

Later, it was known that Lin Jiayi and her mother were eyeing her wealth, falsely claiming Lin Jiayi as her biological daughter to deceive her.

Who knew the woman wasn’t so easy to fool and used some experimental technique to prove Lin Jiayi wasn’t her daughter at all.

Sun Bingnan’s mother was there for the spectacle and, after returning home, thoroughly berated the Lin Family.

Never seen such heartless, venomous people, no wonder they treated Lin Jiayi and Lin Chuxia so differently.

“Has that heartless foster mother of yours caused you any trouble?” Village Chief Sun asked with concern.

Lin Chuxia shook her head, and Village Chief Sun scoffed, “She’s wise not to. After treating you like that, what face does she have to cause you trouble? Their current situation serves them right.”

Lin Chuxia raised an eyebrow and looked at Sun Bingnan.

Such words were indeed not suitable for Village Chief Sun to say as a village leader and Lin Chuxia’s elder.

Sun Bingnan picked up the conversation, “After Lin Jiayi found a wealthy mother, the mother and daughter strutted around the village. Especially the divorce between Lin Jiayi and the Li Family, given how close Daqing Mountain Village and Xiaoqingshan Village are, the Li Family even tried to arrange mediation, only to be flatly refused with harsh words. In essence, they didn’t want others meddling in their affairs, but those words offended many people. When the truth came out, onlookers gathered to watch the Lin Family, already having poor relations at Daqing Mountain Village. Now, fewer people want to have anything to do with them. As for Lin Jiayi, Mother Lin seems worried having a divorced daughter linger at home will affect finding a wife for her son, so she’s planning to match her with someone else. But as you know, it’s tough to find a suitable match for a twice-divorced woman in the village.”

Almost no one in their village was divorced; for a woman remarrying after divorce, requirements had to be loosened.

Usually, those who remarried widows were widowers or bachelors who couldn’t find a wife, sometimes even those with cognitive issues.

But given Lin Jiayi’s personality, she couldn’t possibly take interest in such people.

As long as Lin Jiayi doesn’t remarry, she’ll remain an eyesore to Mother Lin, and family life would naturally be lively.

Lin Chuxia’s expression remained calm, having no feelings toward the mother and daughter.

She just thought Lin Jiayi, if given another lifetime, would only live in a more chaotic way.

Some people should just learn to be content.

In the past life, she didn’t know how things were between Lin Jiayi and Qin Yang, but from her understanding of the Qin Family, if Lin Jiayi had behaved herself, she wouldn’t have been neglected by the Qin Family.

But in her eyes, each member of the Qin Family appeared detestable, with not a single good person among them, and Qin Yang was a cold-blooded creature.

This lifetime, it’s even more significant.

Given a slim chance to relive her life, instead of living well, she consistently schemed against others, only to end up scheming against herself.

Lin Jiayi, living another lifetime, hasn’t gained much intelligence but considers herself too clever while viewing others as fools; this is truly foolish.

From inside the house, hearing that the guests were villagers from Daqing Mountain Village and seeing their good relationship with her daughter, Zhuang Jingshu came out holding the baby.
