Chapter 652: What Should We Do?

Zhuang Jingshu said this, then no longer glanced at the mother and daughter in the courtyard, turned with Zhuang Yang and left.

Mother Lin was drenched in cold sweat, her hands trembling.

She almost ended up in jail.

Beside her, Lin Jiayi suddenly stepped back and sat on the ground, mumbling, "It’s over, everything’s over, what should I do? What should I do? Mom, what should I do? It’s all your fault for ruining me..."

The last sentence was practically a scream.

Mother Lin looked at her eldest daughter’s desperate look and thought of her own future, then also sat on the ground and cried.

How would she know what to do?

How could she know about some AA technology? She thought as long as she denied it, no one would find out.

For a moment, the courtyard was filled with sounds of crying, rising and falling, while the onlookers were all satisfied.

"I think the Lin Family tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice to lure it. If they had treated Chuxia well, with the success she has now and such a wealthy mother, could the Lin Family have fared badly?"

"Actually, I think this person is a bit too much, no matter what, the Lin Family did raise Chuxia to adulthood and arranged such a good marriage. Even if Guangshan’s wife was confused at the moment, without her, who knows if Chuxia could have grown so big."

"Come on, do you forget how Chuxia’s marriage came about? I know all about it, back then Chuxia mentioned marrying into the Li Family from Xiaoqingshan Village, Guangshan’s wife even asked them for a 300 yuan dowry. What kind of family is the Li Family, living so close, don’t you know? Can such a family afford a 300 yuan dowry? This wasn’t marrying her daughter, it was selling her."

"But in the end, wasn’t Jiayi who married into the Li Family?"

"Indeed, but that wasn’t Chuxia’s fault; heard Jiayi somehow fancied the boy from the Li Family, insisted the boy would be very promising in the future, demanded the marriage swap, only then was the marriage swapped, so the Li Family didn’t have to pay the 300 yuan dowry, heard they only paid eighty. In contrast, the Qin Family was asked for a 300 yuan dowry, still selling the daughter, have you ever seen someone asking for a 300 yuan dowry when marrying off their daughter? Demanding so much dowry, how can she hold her head high at her in-laws’ house?"

"Exactly, if you ask me, this is still beneficial for the Lin Family. Didn’t you hear, when the child was handed over to the Lin Family, it came with quite a sum of money and tickets. What times those were, money and tickets were lifesaving, let alone during the period Jiayi replaced Chuxia, the other side was quite generous with expenses for them. If you say it’s all even, the Lin Family didn’t lose anything, treated the child fairly, it’s beneficial for them."

The Lin Family always had a mediocre reputation in the village, recently Lin Jiayi acknowledged a wealthy mother, and the whole family became arrogant. Now that things have ended like this, very few sympathize with them.

The village chief’s wife watched the whole scene and then trotted back home.

As soon as she entered, she started shouting for the third son.

Sun Bingnan was listening to his dad’s chatter, heard his mom calling him, and quickly ran out of his father’s rambling.

"Mom, what’s up?"

"Big news, Lin Jiayi isn’t that woman’s biological daughter, Chuxia is. Oh my heavens, what has the Lin Family done? No wonder they never favored Chuxia, such a wonderful girl for them is truly unlucky..."

Mrs. Sun was still unable to process the information she just took in, only thinking the Lin Family was too despicable.

The more Sun Bingnan listened, the more confused he became, quickly stopped his mom, "Hold on, hold on, speak slower, who’s whose real mom? Who’s whose biological daughter?"

Mrs. Sun swallowed her saliva, "Pour me a glass of water, let me drink some and slowly tell you about it. Do you think it’s time to call Chuxia, that girl..."

.................

On the way back, Zhuang Yang glanced in the rearview mirror at the chairman resting eyes in the back, pondered, and spoke.

"Does anything need to be done for the Lin Family... Though they raised Miss for over twenty years, they treated her like that..."

Zhuang Jingshu raised her hand to rub her brows, "Let’s leave it for now."

Just for the sake of Old Madam Lin.

If Old Madam Lin hadn’t saved and helped her give birth back then, she and the child might....

"How will the vegetable station be handled?"

Though Lin Jiayi demanded the purchase of the vegetable station, she lacked the capacity to buy it; Zhuang Yang handled all the funds and paperwork, purchasing it in Walson’s name, thus has nothing to do with Lin Jiayi.

Zhuang Jingshu then opened her eyes and glanced out the window, "Passed Ancheng County Town yet?"

"Not yet, about 10 minutes away."

"Then take me to see it."

"Okay."

Zhuang Yang agreed quickly.

The chairman hadn’t asked about these matters before, but now wanted to take a look.

Seems the chairman already had plans for the vegetable station.

The car raced towards Ancheng County, Zhuang Yang thought carefully and made a turn at the town’s edge.

Further ahead, a bustling market came into view, the large characters of the Qin Family Village Vegetable Market marked prominently on one side.

Not far from the other side, there was an imposing factory.

While passing by, Zhuang Yang introduced to the person in the back seat.

"Xiyang Food Factory was founded by Lin Chuxia; she started by selling buns, An City has two Qin’s Buns Shops, her earliest ventures. Later she expanded and founded Xiyang Food Factory, as the Qin Family became prosperous, they didn’t forget to help the elder villagers of Qin’s Village. Look over there; although you can’t see it in summer, during winter there are rows of greenhouses with white vegetables, and Qin’s Village industries such as chicken and pig farms all rely on Xiyang Food Factory..."

Zhuang Yang wasn’t exaggerating, just reporting his investigations to the chairman.

"Miss Lin Chuxia, though marginalized and oppressed by the Lin Family, grew into a strong and compassionate woman, well regarded in Qin Family Village and throughout Ancheng County..."

He intended to comfort the chairman with these details but didn’t realize that, at first, the chairman listened intently, then closed her eyes again towards the end.

He didn’t understand, she was a mother and never cared about whether her child was strong.

People usually become strong after experiencing setbacks and hardships.

If possible, she would rather Lin Chuxia remain just an ordinary young girl.

...............

At the bustling vegetable market in Qin Family Village, suddenly a man’s voice raised.

"Mine are fresh eggplants, tender without seeds, yet you’re offering me only five cents per jin? Are you buying vegetables or bullying people? I tell you, this is Qin Family Village, my surname is Qin, you might intimidate others, but bullying the Qin Family here, don’t you want to do business in the Qin Family Village Vegetable Market anymore?"
