CHAPTER 607: CHAPTER 607: DON’T FLAUNT YOURSELF TOO MUCH

"Mom, what’s wrong? Is there something happening?"

Mrs. Qin looked at her closely and saw there was no change in her demeanor, and only then did she let out a long sigh of relief.

"Just now, I saw your mom and sister storm out angrily, and I thought something happened to you guys. Xiaxia, your mom and sister didn’t give you a hard time, did they?"

It’s not something she should say as a mother-in-law.

But after all these years, she’s come to see her younger daughter-in-law as part of the family.

If the other party were really unreasonable, she wouldn’t care whether it was her daughter-in-law’s mother or sister; she wouldn’t sit idly by.

Seeing Mrs. Qin’s worried look, Lin Chuxia felt a warm current flow through her heart.

She stepped forward to help her inside, "I’m fine, don’t worry."

"And your mom and sister..."

"They’re fine too, and even if there was anything, I’m able to handle it."

Hearing this, Mrs. Qin felt reassured, "If there’s anything, tell me. Your dad and I, as well as your elder brother and sister-in-law, can all help you come up with ideas. If it’s hard to tell me, call Yangyang back."

"Okay, I understand, Mom."

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

Lin Chuxia could indeed handle that mother and daughter pair pretty well.

She was no longer the Lin Chuxia who had been PUA-ed by her mother for over twenty years in her past life, unable to escape the bonds of family.

As long as she broke free from the bonds of family, no one could control her.

Lin Chuxia called Sun Bingnan over to ask about the situation with the chicken farm and the yellow peach trees first.

Sun Bingnan had been planning to report to her anyway.

"You wouldn’t believe it, but the Jia Family brothers got us some excellent Yellow Peach Seedlings. The Forestry Bureau praised our peach saplings highly, and sure enough, they’re bearing fruit this year. The Forestry Bureau sent technicians to carefully tend to our fruit trees. They said, although it might not be a bumper year, we should still have some yield by autumn. Plus, the technician said that by next year, most of the fruit trees should bear fruit. You don’t know how happy my dad is; ever since the yellow peach trees started blooming in spring, he’s been grinning from ear to ear, following the technicians up the mountain every day, just hoping one of these days we can win an award for the village."

Lin Chuxia could imagine the scene.

Sun Bingnan’s temperament was just like Uncle Sun’s—an open-minded and endearing old man.

"This year, Uncle Sun might be disappointed," Lin Chuxia smiled at Sun Bingnan, "The only real goal is to sell the yellow peaches at a good price."

Sun Bingnan became a bit serious, "Yes, I’ve been thinking about that too. We have quite a few mountain worth of fruit trees. Even if only some bear fruit this year, getting a few thousand pounds by autumn won’t be a problem. How do you plan to sell them?"

From the beginning, Lin Chuxia had guided him, letting him go to the Northwest to select superior Yellow Peach Seedlings, and then carefully tending to them.

He had always done things methodically, following Lin Chuxia’s instructions.

Yet in a few months, when the yellow peaches would be ripe, selling the ripe peaches became the big problem at hand.

Even if Lin Chuxia hadn’t called him over today, he had planned to discuss this matter with her anyway.

Seeing Lin Chuxia’s reaction, Sun Bingnan was a little nervous.

Could it be that Mr. Lin had forgotten about these yellow peach trees on the Daqing Mountain and hadn’t yet thought about the sales problem?

If that’s the case, it could really turn into a mess. When the yellow peaches ripen in large quantities, and the locals don’t recognize this fruit, won’t they all just rot on the trees?

Seeing his worried expression, Lin Chuxia directly said something to his surprise.

"I honestly hadn’t thought about the sales issue for the yellow peaches. I didn’t expect you guys to take care of the trees so well that they’re bearing fruit already."

Sun Bingnan didn’t think for a moment that this was a compliment, and his smile looked more like a grimace.

"Mr... Mr. Lin, please don’t joke about this with me, okay?"

Don’t say his dad couldn’t handle such a hit.

The thought of the yellow peaches they’ve worked so hard to grow rotting on the trees made Sun Bingnan feel like his heart was bleeding.

"I’m not kidding, but..."

Upon hearing these two words, Sun Bingnan suddenly became spirited, looking at her intently.

Lin Chuxia couldn’t help but laugh, "But we can let Wang Cheng try to come up with a solution first."

Right now, the Qin Family Village’s vegetable greenhouses aren’t just growing vegetables; during spring, strawberries, watermelons, and melons have good sales too.

By then, the yellow peaches can also explore these sales channels.

"Okay, then I’ll go talk to Wang Cheng about this later."

With a path ahead, there was no need for Lin Chuxia to say more about the rest.

Both working for Lin Chuxia, he and Wang Cheng had had prior interactions.

"However, don’t hold out too much hope. At the time, regardless of the price or income, it doesn’t matter. Our yellow peach trees aren’t targeting the current market," Lin Chuxia added.

Though she didn’t state it explicitly, Sun Bingnan felt reassured.

But even if he felt reassured, if the yellow peaches didn’t sell for a good price this year, his old dad might really be disappointed.

Thinking about his dad’s disappointed look, Sun Bingnan actually laughed.

In the past two years, his elder and second brothers made money raising chickens, and he also earned a lot following Lin Chuxia. As for his sister, there’s no need to mention it; her husband is the manager of a food factory, and she has her own shop to oversee.

In the village, whoever met his dad would have a word or two of praise? It’s to the point where his dad’s tail was almost wagging sky-high.

A little blow wouldn’t be bad; his dad always taught him to be modest.

Lin Zhuxia and he wouldn’t say these things to his dad first.

Let his dad experience how one cannot be too arrogant.

Seeing the look on Sun Bingnan’s face, Lin Chuxia knew he had something up his sleeve.

Having said everything that needed to be said, the rest was up to him.

Lin Chuxia changed the topic and asked about the Lin Family.

"I was just talking to Lanlan about this the other day, wanted her to mention it to you when she sees you. That Lin Jiayi’s real mom isn’t simple; everyone in the village knows Lin Jiayi isn’t the real daughter of the Lin Family. A wealthy woman came to recognize her as her daughter. I’ve met her real mom before; she drives a car that’s not ordinary, not something common people can get. There was a young guy with her. When he opened the car door for her, I happened to pass by and heard him speak a foreign language to her. That woman even reminded the guy to speak Chinese while in the country. I suspect Lin Jiayi’s real mom returned from abroad, which makes sense. If her real mom had always been in the country, how could she not have sought out her real daughter after all these years?"

What Sun Bingnan said made sense, confirming Lin Chuxia’s suspicions.

"Although I’ve been in Daqing Mountain Village since I can remember, I’ve heard from the elders in my family that we weren’t originally from Daqing Mountain Village. Did you know about this?"

"It’s quite the coincidence. If you had asked me last month, I wouldn’t have known. It was just recently when Lin Jiayi’s real mom came seeking her that I found out some things about your family’s past."

Talking about this, Sun Bingnan let out a sigh of emotion.

Who would have thought there were such stories with the Lin Family?
