"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.
