Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife-Chapter 449: Why Aren’t I Pregnant Yet?

Walking and rolling up her sleeves, she intended to help Mrs. Qin in the kitchen for a while, but seeing Qin Han’s look, it seemed he had something to talk to her about.

Knowing her son best, Mrs. Qin saw him like this and shooed him away with disdain, "Your younger brother and sister just got back, let them catch their breath at home. Go pick up your wife, it’s getting late, and the road will be hard to navigate when it gets dark."

Qin Han saw Lin Chuxia nod and greet her before he agreed to Mrs. Qin’s request to fetch Zhang Guilan.

Lin Chuxia took the spatula to help Mrs. Qin with cooking, chatting with her.

"Sister-in-law’s pregnancy is quite far along, isn’t it? Can’t she handle the shop’s busyness? She should rest at this stage."

"It’s almost eight months now. A while back, when Xiao Wu’s wife finished her maternity leave and wanted to go back to work, your sister-in-law said no, telling her to rest a bit longer. Now that Xiao Wu’s wife has been a mother for two months, I guess in a little while she can replace your eldest sister-in-law."

Back then, Lin Chuxia and her eldest brother and sister-in-law had indeed agreed on this arrangement, but now she felt a bit guilty as a boss.

One pregnant, one postpartum.

When the eldest sister-in-law returned, she’d have to seriously discuss it with her and see if there were capable hands in the shop.

It wasn’t long before Qin Han had brought Zhang Guilan back. Knowing that Lin Chuxia had returned, Zhang Guilan also brought back some meat buns and cooked dishes from the shop.

At the dinner table, Lin Chuxia actually broached the topic of the Bun Shop’s situation with Zhang Guilan.

Zhang Guilan nonchalantly waved her hand, "Don’t worry, sister-in-law, I have nothing much to do. I’m clear about my own health. At the shop, I just handle the money and keep an eye on things. If it really comes down to it, your elder brother can help me."

After Yang Guilan’s words fell, Mrs. Qin snorted, "You still count on him? These days, we hardly ever see him at the farm supply shop."

"Mom," Qin Han protested, "With sister-in-law here, can’t you say two nice words about me?"

He had entrusted the farm supply shop to his sister-in-law, who trusted him so much. He couldn’t let his sister-in-law think he wasn’t serious about it.

Besides, he had only been away from the shop for a couple of days, but everything was still under his control.

Worried Lin Chuxia would have the wrong impression, Qin Han quickly explained, "These days, Technician He and I have been planting some new stuff in our greenhouse. Vegetables are a staple for the people; off-season vegetables can sell for a good price, so we thought maybe off-season fruits might fetch a nice sum in the greenhouses."

Lin Chuxia’s eyes lit up at this, "What did you plant?"

Could it be what she was thinking?

Sure enough, the next moment Qin Han uttered two words, "Strawberries. They’ve already bloomed recently, and it won’t be long before they bear fruit."

Lin Chuxia showed surprise, "That’s really great. When the strawberries come in, brother, you must remember to call me."

She loved strawberries the most.

Originally, she had planned to propose planting strawberries in the greenhouses next year and wanted to focus on getting the vegetables right this year. She didn’t expect that Technician He and her brother had already taken the first step.

Qin Han readily agreed, "Sure, not only strawberries but Qin Liang’s greenhouse also has several ridges of watermelons. Qin Liang takes care of them every day like they’re gold, but we don’t know yet if they’ll succeed."

"There shouldn’t be any issues. I believe in Qin Liang’s skills in farming."

Lin Chuxia hadn’t expected that, in the matter of the vegetable greenhouses, she’d only taken a small step forward, yet they had already blazed the trail behind her.

She could already imagine how prosperous the vegetable greenhouses in Qin Family Village would be next year.

In a few more years, the prosperity of Qin Family Village will definitely not be just an empty promise.

They just took advantage of the weekend to come back for a visit, and the next day after breakfast, Lin Chuxia went to the Su Family to see Sun Lanlan.

Sun Lanlan had not finished her postpartum month, and seeing Lin Chuxia enter the yard, she almost wanted to jump through the glass to greet her.

Lin Chuxia also bought a silver bracelet for the baby, promising to come back for the baby’s one-month celebration.

Seeing both the mother and child in good health, rosy and plump under Granny Su’s care, Lin Chuxia felt at ease.

However, upon leaving the Su Family, Lin Chuxia suddenly felt a tinge of melancholy.

After Jiang Hong gave birth, she and Qin Yang had been planning to have children. For the past two months, they hadn’t taken any preventive measures, but she still hadn’t become pregnant. freёnovelkiss-com

She had been drinking spiritual spring water to maintain her health, and her physical condition was very good; she hardly fell ill during the winter.

She could feel that this body was completely different from her previous one, which had suffered from chronic ailments after saving someone.

Why wasn’t she pregnant yet?

Could it be that she really wasn’t destined to have children?

With this thought, Lin Chuxia felt frustrated. When she looked up and saw two people not far away, she thought her eyes were playing tricks on her.

Rubbing her eyes for a closer look confirmed she was not mistaken.

In front, Li Dongmei was riding a bicycle with Zhang Wenbin sitting on the rear seat.

Zhang Wenbin’s arm was still in a sling around his neck; it was unclear if it was still from the injury caused by Jia Liang or if he had been hurt again.

What Lin Chuxia was more interested in was how these two ended up together. Their relationship seemed to be quite close.

Thinking back to how Wenbin had visited the city to attempt reconciliation with his ex-wife not long ago, Lin Chuxia felt so nauseated that she almost threw up her last meal.

At that moment, on the other side, Li Dongmei, with Zhang Wenbin, made their way back to the Zhang Family.

Mrs. Zhang was basking in the courtyard sun when she saw the two return and quickly went to greet them.

"Today we really owe it to Dongmei. Wenbin’s arm has been inconvenient since he fell, and without such a helpful person, I wouldn’t know what to do."

Li Dongmei glanced at Zhang Wenbin before responding to Mrs. Zhang with a smile, "Granny, why are you being so polite with me? You should have called me over the day Brother Zhang got injured."

"That’s true. Men just can’t take care of themselves. He gets hurt going to and from work; you should stay for a bit, Granny bought some meat, let’s all make dumplings together later. You can help me roll out the dough."

Li Dongmei looked at Zhang Wenbin again, and seeing no objection from him, she cheerfully agreed with a loud, "Alright."

"Then you go to the kitchen and help Granny chop the meat for the filling. I’ll go buy some chives; I heard there’s some for sale in the market. It’s a bit expensive, but that’s okay. You don’t often get to eat at Granny’s, and I’m happy, so I’m willing to spend more to make you pork and chives-filled dumplings."

Upon hearing this, Li Dongmei immediately stopped Mrs. Zhang, "Granny, there’s no need to buy chives. Just wait, I’ll go to my brother’s stall and bring back two pounds."

Mrs. Zhang quickly waved her hands, "Oh, that won’t do. I should buy it. It’s not good to always eat vegetables from your family."

Li Dongmei was already pushing the bike out, "What’s the fuss? It’s all vegetables from our own family; Granny, don’t be polite with me. Just wait here; I’ll be right back with the bicycle. I’ll chop the meat when I return, it won’t delay us at all."
