Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 449

Chapter 449: 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.
