Chapter 506: Is Qin Yang Sick?

After listening to her daughter, He Caiyun’s eyes lit up.

In Ancheng County, there had been quite a few individual business owners in the past two years, but the most outstanding one had to be the owner of Qin’s Buns Shop.

He was both the owner of the Bun Shop and the factory director of Xiyang Food Factory.

Almost nobody in An City didn’t know about the Xiyang Food Factory when it was mentioned.

Every time Xiyang Food Factory had a showdown with Ancheng Food Factory, wasn’t it a big stir in the city?

After all, when these two factories clashed, it was the common folks like them who benefited.

If that woman really is the owner of Qin’s Buns Shop...

Indeed, only a nouveau riche with more money than they know what to do with would be willing to support a lonely old man.

"So it seems, Old Sir He might really have lost the formula."

Before, she suspected that woman was cozying up to Old Sir He for the formula, but if that woman had this status, that formula would be just a piece of scrap paper in her hands, completely unnecessary to go through all this trouble for a couple pieces of scrap paper.

"I never imagined Old Sir He could still attract such a wealthy disciple even at his age."

"Mom, it’s not that I must learn traditional Chinese medicine. You said you didn’t like studying medicine yourself. I think being a worker is quite good. If I can’t get into university, I’ll just take over your job."

"You say that so lightly. Your sister-in-law doesn’t even have a job yet. If I give the job to you, wouldn’t that make your brother and sister-in-law argue with me? Besides, I might not be able to work for much longer. Look at your second aunt; once Ancheng Food Factory was acquired, her husband is about to be laid off... wait, if that woman is the owner of Xiyang Food Factory, then perhaps your second aunt and her family won’t have to be laid off and won’t even need to attend the assessment..."

.........

Lin Chuxia and Old Master He had a delicious meal with lamb spine hot pot, and she also stewed some lamb chops for him.

At the same time, she brought up the idea of having Old Master He move to the city to enjoy his old age again.

By now, Lin Chuxia knew that the person who came looking for Old Master He today was his eldest daughter, He Caiyun.

She wanted her daughter to learn traditional Chinese medicine, but since her daughter’s academic performance made university seem unlikely, she thought of taking a shortcut, using Old Master He’s formula as a stepping stone to wedge her daughter into a school.

It’s undeniable that, no matter how heartless He Caiyun could be, she still had insight, knowing the value of Old Master He’s formula.

Today was not her first visit. Lin Chuxia worried that if He Caiyun couldn’t find the formula at once, she might pester Old Master He relentlessly.

"Master, if you really can’t let them go, just give them the formula. It’s of no use to me anyway..."

Before Lin Chuxia could finish speaking, Old Master He glared at her fiercely, "Are you trying to get expelled from my tutelage? The formula is something I’ve passed on to you; you’d better take good care of it."

"Look at you, getting angry again. Since you don’t miss them anyway, just come with me to the city. It’ll save you from their bothersome visits. Plus, in the city, you can always be with your cute and filial young disciple," Lin Chuxia made a playful gesture at the right moment.

Old Master He gave her a sideways glance and turned his head away with a snort, "What sentiment can there be with those ungrateful people? I might as well have never had children in this life. I can do anything now, I don’t need you to support me. If you really want me to enjoy my twilight years, then you’d better hurry up and give me a grandchild. Maybe then, I’ll consider visiting the city."

When it came to children, Lin Chuxia extended her arm out directly.

"Speaking of which, your disciple is ashamed, Master. Could you please check if there’s something wrong with my body, why I can’t have children. Our married life is quite normal, but why haven’t I been pregnant for so long?"

If Old Master He hadn’t brought up the topic of children, Lin Chuxia would have forgotten that she still had such a veteran doctor of traditional Chinese medicine.

Old Master He slightly frowned, "Is it that you can’t have them, or because you were too busy with work to consider it?"

"At first, we really didn’t want to because of the busy work, but seeing people around us having babies one after another, I began wanting to have a baby too. But after trying for over half a year, I’m still not pregnant."

Old Sir He didn’t ask further and stretched out his hand to feel her pulse.

He alternated between looking at her face and hands, making Lin Chuxia feel uncomfortable.

"Master, what’s with that expression? Don’t tell me I’ve got some terminal illness?"

Old Sir He irritably let go of her hand, "You’re as robust as an ox, no issues with your health. Next time, send that man of yours over, I’ll take a look at him."

"Ah, are you saying Qin Yang is sick?"

Lin Chuxia recalled her past life, where indeed, Qin Yang and Lin Jiayi didn’t have children.

In her previous life, Lin Jiayi had claimed that she and Qin Yang never even shared a bed.

Initially during the swap, she wondered if Qin Yang had impotence or something similar.

Now that the two are married, Lin Chuxia couldn’t be clearer; not only is Qin Yang functional but also enduring.

Could it be an issue with sperm quality?

But she had been giving him spiritual spring water for years, which shouldn’t pose any problems.

"Master, what if there is really something wrong with Qin Yang?"

She wanted to have children, and she could tell that Qin Yang also adored kids.

Old Sir He glanced at her, "What can you do about it? If it doesn’t work out, find someone else. Three-legged toads are hard to come by, but men with two legs aren’t."

Lin Chuxia: "..."

Master, are you serious?

...

Worried that He Caiyun would be persistent and bother Old Master He again, Lin Chuxia finished her tasks the next day and went back to Old Sir He’s house.

And sure enough, her guess was right, and this time it wasn’t just He Caiyun, but also a woman a few years younger, resembling her in appearance.

Seeing Lin Chuxia enter the courtyard, they didn’t give the cold treatment like yesterday, especially the slightly younger woman who greeted her with a smile.

"So you’re dad’s disciple, right? I just heard from my sister yesterday that dad took on a young and beautiful female disciple, and seeing you today proves it. Just look at this girl, so pretty indeed."

Having struggled in the business world these past two years, Lin Chuxia also understood that being young was a disadvantage.

In business, appearances matter, and women are generally taken lightly, even more so when young, which made their words carry less weight.

Because of this, Lin Chuxia paid extra attention to her attire.

Not only did she perm her hair into big waves, but her clothing also tended to be mature and business-oriented.

Thus, in the past two years, not many have spoken to her in such a tone.

The woman appeared to be only in her thirties, that tone...

Lin Chuxia chuckled inside, knowing who the woman was.

She ignored her words and looked directly at Old Master He, "What am I to say? You like this kind of thing? Missing some excitement in life?"

Old Master He had a stern face and unceremoniously issued an eviction, "Since we’ve cut ties, let’s keep it clean. There’s no ’dad’ here for you, I can’t bear the term ’dad’ from you, and I can’t and won’t fulfill your requests. You can give up on that. Don’t come back here in the future."
