Upon receiving this news, Lin Chuxia could hardly sit still.
"I’ll go notify the staff in a bit to pick up the goods at the port."
This is no small matter. In three days, she needs to arrange personnel and vehicles to the port, plus some related paperwork.
Old Sir He spoke first, "If you’re busy, just go ahead with your tasks. You don’t need to be here."
Zhuang Jingshu also nodded with a smile, "Be safe on the road. If it’s really inconvenient, you can have Zhuang Yang take you back."
Lin Chuxia came by car herself, so she didn’t need a ride.
After thanking Zhuang Jingshu, she left eagerly with her small bag.
The medicine would take a while to finish brewing, so with Lin Chuxia gone, Zhuang Jingshu also didn’t want to stay.
She bid farewell to Old Sir He and asked Zhuang Yang to take her back first.
On the road, Zhuang Jingshu kept gazing out the window, lost in thought.
Zhuang Yang drove all the way to the main road before he heard the woman in the back seat speak softly, "Under what circumstances would a person not care about their mother?"
Zhuang Yang thought she was pondering over the newly acknowledged daughter and consoled, "The chairman’s decision back then was a last resort, and under the circumstances, the chairman couldn’t reunite with Miss Lin in time. I think Miss Lin should understand the chairman and wouldn’t disregard you."
But Zhuang Jingshu shook her head, "I’m talking about Lin Chuxia. She doesn’t seem to care about her mother at all."
Zhuang Yang pondered and indeed, from their interactions with the Lin Family, they hadn’t heard anyone from the Lin Family mention Lin Chuxia.
It seemed that whether she was there or not made no difference to this family.
However, Lin Jiadong, the son of the Lin Family, was frequently mentioned by the family’s matriarch, who bragged about how excellent her son was.
Actually, in Zhuang Yang’s view, among the Lin Family’s children, including the chairman’s newly recognized daughter, Lin Chuxia was the most outstanding.
It’s just...
"Didn’t Miss Jiayi say so? When they were young, Miss Lin and Miss Jiayi often fought because of some issues, and because of Guo Cuihua’s promise to the chairman back then, she always shielded Miss Jiayi. This caused the conflicts between Miss Lin and the family to deepen, leading to their current strained relations... It’s probably because Guo Cuihua couldn’t handle the conflicts between the two daughters well."
He couldn’t say Miss Jiayi was wrong, nor did he think Lin Chuxia was to blame.
He wasn’t a witness to what happened back then, but both were children at the time. If there was any fault, it was that the adults didn’t handle things well, failing to maintain balance, thus letting family relations worsen.
Whether Zhuang Jingshu listened to Zhuang Yang’s words or not, she softly murmured after he finished speaking, "Pregnancy and childbirth are such big matters. She didn’t consider her family at all. Normally, every daughter thinks of her mother first during childbirth."
If she had her mother with her back then, maybe the child wouldn’t have been born prematurely or ended up away for so many years.
The child suffered, and she endured many years of internal torment.
"The chairman seems to sympathize with Miss Lin a lot," Zhuang Yang sensed that Zhuang Jingshu’s mood wasn’t great.
"The person Miss Lin described by Ms. Guo is quite different. Is Miss Lin truly Lin Guangshan’s daughter? Could it be a coincidence that they have the same name, and we’ve got it wrong?"
He expressed it subtly. Guo Cuihua had mentioned Lin Chuxia, but they mostly heard about her from Lin Jiayi.
The Lin Chuxia they’ve been acquainted with is worlds apart.
"How can there be so many coincidences? Although the Miss Lin we know is indeed different from the one they describe."
Zhuang Jingshu sighed and looked up again.
Lin Chuxia hadn’t interacted much with the present County Magistrate, He Shichang, but Su Wensong, as the factory manager, had dealings with the county leadership.
Given that Xiyang helped the county solve the Old Food Factory issue, the county should offer assistance.
After arranging everything, Lin Chuxia remained in good spirits.
When Qin Yang returned home from work, he saw his lovely wife wearing a loose cotton dress, eight months pregnant, humming a song while preparing dinner.
She appeared to be in a great mood.
While washing his hands, he asked, "What made you so happy?"
"You noticed?" Lin Chuxia arched her brows, her eyes sparkling with delight.
Qin Yang couldn’t help but be infected by her mood, "The way you look, even Yuan Bao’s tail would wag its way off if it were here beside you."
If he couldn’t tell, he’d be worse off than a dog.
Lin Chuxia burst into laughter at his joke, and Yuan Bao wasn’t just wagging its tail now, it even hopped twice.
Lin Chuxia recounted the matter of the production equipment to Qin Yang.
Though Walson Company didn’t interfere in Xiyang Food Factory’s business, this was her first transaction with them.
From what she saw, her partner was reliable, and she was satisfied with the efficiency.
She was also looking forward to being equally satisfied with the upcoming cooperation with the clothing factory.
But Qin Yang wasn’t too pleased upon hearing this, "Are you going back to Qin Family Village once the equipment is installed?"
