Lin Chuxia felt warmth in her heart.
She could shower directly in her space. When Qin Yang was not at home, she mostly showered in the villa within her space.
She had originally planned to go back and shower immediately, but now that Mrs. Qin was boiling water, she had to wait a bit longer.
Yet, she was willing to wait.
In her past life, no one had cared about her; she didn’t even know what it felt like to be cared about, which led her to treasure Li Guangyuan’s insincere gestures excessively when they first married.
Knowing that he was deceiving her, she still foolishly refused to face the reality.
In this life, whether it was Qin Yang or the Qin Family people, their sincere concern for her truly had her in their hearts.
Whether it was when she first entered the Qin Family or when she started her business, the care and protection she never had in her previous life, she had it all this time.
After Mrs. Qin had heated the water, she even delivered it to her room. Lin Chuxia quickly took it and asked, "Mom, did you have something you wanted to talk to me about just now?"
Mrs. Qin waved her hand, "Nothing much, you go ahead and take a shower. Oh, later I’ll be making dumplings with chive and egg filling, come and have them with your father and me."
"Okay, thank you, Mom."
"About that..." Mrs. Qin hesitated before saying, "Yangyang seems to have not written for a while now. I heard that your factory has a telephone installed. Has Yangyang called you?"
Because of business exchanges, a telephone was installed in the food factory shortly after its inception.
Installing a telephone nowadays is not easy; apart from the high cost, a connection point is also required.
Fortunately, Qin Family Village is an urban village. After getting the telephone, Lin Chuxia did write to Qin Yang to tell him the number, but most of the time she was not at the food factory and seldom called Qin Yang.
Lin Chuxia spoke honestly, she indeed hadn’t spoken to Qin Yang on the phone or written to him recently, she was busy here, and Qin Yang must be busy there as well.
Hearing this, Mrs. Qin’s expression became even more worried, "Then, when you have time, give Yangyang a call or write him a letter. Tell him that everyone at home misses him and ask him to write home more frequently."
"Okay, I will."
Seeing Lin Chuxia agree, Mrs. Qin closed the door for her and urged her to quickly take her shower.
Back in her room, she just sat on the edge of the kang bed and sighed heavily.
Mr. Qin, smoking his pipe, glanced at her, "I tell you, old woman, you worry too much. The kids are grown up; let them make their own way. What can you really help with, or control?"
"What do you know," Mrs. Qin retorted, glancing at her husband, "Yangyang hasn’t written to us for a long time. His wife’s factory is growing bigger and bigger, everyone in our village praises how we’ve got a beautiful and capable daughter-in-law. Why can’t he be a bit more concerned?"
"How can he be more concerned? He works far away; he can’t just leave his job and come home to hover around his wife all day."
"He could still write a letter or make a phone call from time to time. You know your son; once he gets busy with work, he neglects everything else. It’s hard enough for women to handle things, let alone without a partner to care and ask how one feels."
There was still something she hadn’t mentioned. Watching Yangyang and his wife nearing a year of marriage, others who married around the same time had children or were pregnant.
The couple having no children still made them feel like something was missing.
The two living apart and without children, what if they grew tired of each other? Wouldn’t that lead to a simple breakup?
