Chapter 540: Ma Suyun Is Pregnant

Ma Suyun is pregnant?

This was something Lin Chuxia did not expect.

She remembered that couple running around taking medicine and seeing doctors for the past two years to have a child.

Now that she’s pregnant, it seems like they’re stirring up trouble again.

Sure enough, Mrs. Qin continued, "She’s having quite a big reaction to this pregnancy. She’s just gotten pregnant, and she’s been vomiting all day. Somehow, she found out that your brother’s strawberry harvest came in, and she wanted strawberries. She asked Da Wen to get some from your brother. You know, when your sister-in-law was pregnant, those two didn’t do anything good. Your brother isn’t willing to give them strawberries, and it’s already good that he didn’t kick them out. Da Wen couldn’t get strawberries, and I don’t know what Ma Suyun did after that, but your aunt personally came to your brother to speak nicely, just for a few strawberries..."

Lin Chuxia was speechless, "And then?"

Mrs. Qin was also helpless, "Of course your brother wasn’t willing to give them. It’s not about the strawberries. No matter how valuable they are, your brother isn’t that petty. Your aunt didn’t know the truth and thought it was because of what Da Wen did back then, so she said they could even have Da Wen apologize to us. They just shouldn’t take it out on the child. It was hard enough for Da Wen’s wife to get pregnant, and if anything happened..."

Are they trying to blame our family?

Lin Chuxia was almost amused in anger.

What do Qin Wen and Ma Suyun have in their heads?

Back then, they reported someone else’s family, almost costing them their daughter. That was a life-long feud.

Even if something happened to their child, it couldn’t be blamed on their brother.

Could they really blame losing a child on a strawberry craving?

Taking a step back, even if they did lose a child due to strawberries, the misdeeds as parents affect their child, and it’s their responsibility, not anyone else’s fault.

Mrs. Qin realized something and said, "Look, I shouldn’t have told you this. Your brother reminded me when he came, and yet I accidentally spilled the beans again."

"It’s alright, Mom. It’s good to talk about it; it helps us see what kind of people are in our family. There’s nothing wrong with that."

Lin Chuxia comforted Mrs. Qin and then asked, "So what happened? Did they give them the strawberries?"

"No, your brother Qin Liang’s wife came and called your aunt back. She hasn’t come since then, probably because your sister-in-law told your aunt about what Da Wen’s couple did. We generally didn’t want to tell your uncle and aunt because of their age, but now there’s no way to hide it with Da Wen acting like this."

Lin Chuxia nodded. Among the members of the Qin Family, it’s only Qin Wen and his spouse who misbehave. The others know right from wrong.

Mrs. Qin looked at Lin Chuxia’s expression, once again feeling glad that she married such a good young daughter-in-law.

Despite her young age, she’s not arrogant or impetuous, she’s steady in dealing with matters and has her own ideas.

Look at Qin Wen and his wife. Just because they have been married for a few years without children, even if they are happy now, they shouldn’t be so arrogant.

People say that you shouldn’t flaunt a newly conceived child, fearing that it could lead to losing the child.

And them, the moment they found out, they couldn’t wait for the whole world to know.

Despite the rumors in the village about the childless couple over the years, now that they are pregnant, what’s the rush? Once the child is born, those rumors will be naturally dispelled.

You don’t even have to wait for the child to be born. Once Ma Suyun’s belly grows, who wouldn’t be able to see it?

After Qin Yang and Qin Han finished eating and came back inside, Lin Chuxia and Mrs. Qin had already changed the topic.

Mrs. Qin was admiring the little clothes that Lin Chuxia had made, unable to set them down.

"Xiaxia is really skilled. I could never make such nice little clothes."

"Oh, right, Mom, I also made two for Yaoyao. Please take them to Sister-in-law for me."

Lin Chuxia was fond of making clothes, and she had made quite a few for Little Yaoyao.

Qin Han thought of his little daughter and smiled foolishly.

"My daughter is lucky to have an aunt like you. When the younger sibling’s child is born, the two will be just a year apart, perfect companions."

Mrs. Qin, too, had a hopeful expression at the thought of those future days.

Lin Chuxia remembered something else. Now that Mrs. Qin and her older brother were both present, should she reveal something about her elder sister and Jia Liang?

Previously, when her sister wasn’t interested, she could pretend to know nothing.

Now that her sister had taken a small step, the rest they could help her with.

Lin Chuxia mentioned it, and Qin Han suddenly realized, "I was wondering why Jia Liang was so attentive at the restaurant today. Turns out the boy has his eyes on our family."

Hearing this, Mrs. Qin recalled that bald young man.

He looked tall and tough with a bit of a fierce look, and her brows furrowed slightly.

"Xiaxia, are you sure your elder sister also likes this Jia fellow? Could you have misunderstood? You know how polite Juanzi is to everyone."

Mrs. Qin knew her own daughter’s temperament well. As a mother, she understood that Juanzi was gentle and always polite to others.

Before Lin Chuxia could say anything, Qin Han interjected.

"Mom, I think the sister-in-law has it right. I’m basically sure Juanzi has taken a liking to Jia Liang. I know that boy quite well. If Juanzi wasn’t interested, that boy wouldn’t dare to be so attentive in front of us."

When Zhang Guilan was in Yan City for her bedrest, Qin Han frequently went to the city.

He would often deliver goods to the restaurant, and also take the opportunity to see his wife.

He had long seen Jia Liang’s interest in Qin Juan, and he also could see a bit of Qin Juan’s attitude toward Jia Liang.

Although Jia Liang had made mistakes in the past, during their interactions, Qin Han found no issues with his character.

On the contrary, from a man’s perspective, Jia Liang seemed rather loyal.

He had his own set of principles both in life and in work.

The store in Yan City, from finding premises to opening, and then from Qin’s Buns Shop to Qin’s Restaurant.

Qin Han, having been a store manager, understood what it meant for Jia Liang to manage the store to its current scale.

Frankly speaking, that boy was better than him.

Overall, if Jia Liang truly had the ability to win over his sister, he’d be glad to see it happen.

So, when he noticed Jia Liang’s intentions back then, he just turned a blind eye.

Now hearing his sister-in-law say this, he was quite pleased.

Mrs. Qin was even more confused now, looking at this one and then at that one, "Are you saying Juanzi is also interested? She’s always been the most obedient. Would she dare?"

"Mom, elder sister is already thirty. I think after everything she’s been through, she’s grown. She has her own life and also the right to pursue happiness."

Lin Chuxia held Mrs. Qin’s hand, thinking about how to persuade Mrs. Qin.

She always felt the Qin Family was pretty open-minded. Mrs. Qin couldn’t possibly be the sole one with old-fashioned ideas, unwilling for her daughter to remarry or unable to accept her daughter’s free choice in love?

Seeing his mother like this, Qin Han also started to feel anxious. Yet, despite the anxiety, there was a slight hint of dissatisfaction in his tone...
