Liu Na felt so ashamed that she wished she could crawl into a hole. Lin Chuxia responded, "Thank you, doctor, for the reminder. We’ll be more careful next time."
The abortion process was undoubtedly painful. Liu Na bit her lips tightly, not making a sound throughout.
But when it was almost over, Lin Chuxia went to help her up, her clothes nearly soaked with sweat due to the weather of the first lunar month.
Lin Chuxia asked the doctor some precautionary measures before helping Liu Na into the car.
Staring at the car roof, as the car drove away from the hospital, Liu Na felt as if she had survived a great ordeal.
She finally understood why Mr. Lin didn’t take her to a hospital in the city, but rather to this small place she had never been to before.
And everything Mr. Lin had just done for her, she was protecting her with all her might.
...
As days passed, Lin Chuxia gave Liu Na a week off to recover.
Yet, Liu Na dared not go home and wanted to stay in the staff dormitory for a while, but worried about others finding out about her situation, she was torn.
Eventually, Qin Juan spoke up, offering to let her stay with her for a few days.
Lin Chuxia went all out to help, even buying her many nutritional supplements. freewēbnoveℓ.com
When the young girl stood before Lin Chuxia again, she looked like a completely different person.
"Mr. Lin, your great kindness is something I can never repay, even with my life. From now on, I’ll follow you. You can ask me to do anything, my life is yours."
Liu Na knew that a simple ’thank you’ was not enough to express her gratitude towards Mr. Lin.
Lin Chuxia smiled and said, "That’s an exaggeration. You’re still so young and have a long life ahead. I can’t take your life. Just work hard and live well. You will meet better people in the future."
Liu Na shook her head, "Mr. Lin, you don’t understand, that thing really..."
She knew her parents too well. If they found out about her premarital pregnancy, they would definitely kill her.
They would see her as a disgrace to the family.
She couldn’t imagine bearing the wrath of her parents, let alone the disdain and spit from those around her.
Such a life would truly be worse than death for her.
"I don’t want to look for any man anymore. Right now, I just want to earn money, lots of money. Living alone like Sister Juan is quite nice."
During these days living with Qin Juan and her daughter, she saw through the bitterness of marriage.
Even a good woman like Sister Juan wasn’t cherished. There really isn’t a single good man in this world.
Lin Chuxia knew this incident deeply hurt her and it might take a long time for her to recover.
These kinds of things can only be digested slowly by oneself.
Moreover, having her own career and money gives a woman confidence; there’s nothing wrong with that.
He called to see what Lin Chuxia’s opinion was.
Lin Chuxia had anticipated that county leaders would get involved after learning about the vegetable greenhouses in Qin Family Village.
After all, if well-managed, it would be a great community-serving achievement and a significant accomplishment.
However, she did not expect that technicians from the Agricultural Bureau would also be involved.
"Uncle Qin, don’t worry too much about this. If the Agricultural Bureau wants to send technicians, let them. When the time comes, you organize it. We have many greenhouses, and the Institute’s technicians will definitely be busy. It’ll be good to have them help out. But we need to clarify the priorities; the Institute’s technicians are our main support here. I went through a lot of effort to get them here. If there’s a difference in opinions, we won’t blindly trust, but we should also show sufficient respect."
The village chief quickly reassured, "Lin, don’t worry about that, uncle understands this principle clearly."
"Additionally, since the leaders are paying attention to our vegetable greenhouses, uncle, you shouldn’t feel burdened. This is also a good thing. Remember the issue with the plastic film supply for the greenhouses we discussed previously? This is a good opportunity to bring it up with the leaders, and any other difficulties can also be addressed to them."
On the other end of the phone, Qin Shusen chuckled, "You and I think alike. The day the town mayor mentioned it, I brought up the plastic film issue. The plastic factory has already started working overtime for us, making it according to the dimensions for our vegetable greenhouses. The county leaders have even announced that from now on, all the greenhouse films for our village will be custom-made by the plastic factory in any size we need."
Their greenhouses in the early stage, due to limitations in the plastic fabric dimensions, mostly consisted of two pieces stitched together.
"Uncle Qin, experience speaks," praised Lin Chuxia immediately, "And as for other villages, or even spreading greenhouses across the county, you needn’t worry too much. Other villages don’t have a village chief like you, nor do they have our village’s capabilities. Even if they start planting in vegetable greenhouses, it won’t shake our village’s status."
Lin Chuxia gave him another reassuring affirmation.
Qin Shusen experienced a moment of clarity on the other end of the phone.
Indeed, what use is just having the technology?
His family had also set up a vegetable greenhouse; he knew very well how much it cost.
