Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife-Chapter 322 Rumors
Chapter 322: Chapter 322 Rumors
Qin Yang did not expect Lin Chuxia to say such a thing.
He knew Lin Chuxia had money on hand, but having money was one thing, and how to get along with one’s siblings was another. Otherwise, why would there be a saying like "even brothers should settle accounts clearly"?
Not to mention daughters-in-law, many brothers are like this too. If I have it, it’s because of my ability, and what belongs to me in the family is still mine.
He had never quibbled with his elder brother over these things, and he hadn’t expected his wife to be even more open-minded.
"Alright, wife, I’ll listen to you."
Lin Chuxia smiled, "Then let’s return the money to elder brother tomorrow, let him save properly, and we’ll look forward to living in his newly renovated house. As for us, it’s already great to have the housing unit allotted to you, and besides, it’s not like there’s nowhere for us to go in An City. We can live in the workers’ small courtyard later on, or even buy another one."
"All good."
Qin Yang was transferred to the city, and his unit would allocate housing.
Lin Chuxia was also ready, planning to acquire several small courtyards if the opportunity presented itself.
In a few years, the land in the city would be worth much more than in the county.
But these plans had not yet been made, nor was there any need to speak of them.
The next day, Qin Yang got up early, and Lin Chuxia also wanted to go with him to Xiyang Food Factory, but Qin Yang knew she had other things to do and directly refused.
"Do you think, without Mr. Lin present, Hou Xiaobao won’t give me this face? Don’t worry, I come representing Mr. Lin’s prestige."
Lin Chuxia wasn’t concerned about this, but hearing him say so, she let him go.
Upon reaching Xiyang Food Factory, Qin Yang first sought out Su Wensong.
He had other matters to deal with today, and the rumors needed quick resolution.
Su Wensong, as one of the people involved in the rumors, was not unreasonable to be asked to handle it.
Su Wensong listened to Qin Yang’s explanation and became surprisingly angry, "This is a rumor, Mr. Qin, you must believe in Mr. Lin, our relationship is purely professional, and there has never been any inappropriate behavior between us at any time. You should know what kind of person she is even better than I do."
Confronted by Qin Yang with such a matter, Su Wensong showed no guilt; his feelings towards Lin Chuxia were all respect and care.
In terms of capability and position, he respected Lin Chuxia as his boss; personally, Lin Chuxia was much younger than him and a good sister to his wife, so he occasionally treated her like a younger sister as well.
Qin Yang, of course, trusted his own wife, "I know, that’s why I came to you to resolve this. I have to go to the city today, and Chuxia still doesn’t know about the rumors. I hope to put an end to such talk as soon as possible and find the person who spread the rumors."
"Alright, leave it to me."
Su Wensong agreed without hesitation.
To him, Lin Chuxia was a benefactor, a savior, and the matchmaker for him and his wife.
And yet he let her fall victim to these rumors. Feeling both angry and guilty, Su Wensong thought such a woman should not have even the slightest blemish.
He just wanted to find the person spreading the rumors as soon as possible and teach them a lesson.
After arranging things, Qin Yang finally felt assured to let Hou Xiaobao drive him to the city to report in.
In the office, seeing Qin Yang, the unit leader Wei Bingchang said with a smile, "Comrade Qin Yang, waiting eagerly, but finally, we’ve been looking forward to your arrival."
Qin Yang humbly smiled, "Minister Wei, please forgive me, I’ve just been tied down by a few matters and got delayed for several days."
"I understand, I understand. If it were me, I wouldn’t want to let go of a major asset like you either. How’s everything? Have you settled all your affairs? Do you need any help from the department to sort anything out?"
Minister Wei Bingchang could already foresee the bright future of their department with a subordinate like Qin Yang.
"Currently, no, thank you, Minister Wei."
Minister Wei did not say much else. As today was the day of reporting for duty, settling the new subordinate’s living arrangements was of utmost importance.
He called his secretary and asked him to personally accompany Qin Yang to complete the relevant formalities.
He emphasized taking good care of Qin Yang and to provide facilitation wherever possible.
Qin Yang was also very satisfied with his new workplace. He did not have too many requirements for his workplace; he would serve the country wherever he was.
What satisfied him most was that he was directly assigned housing in the family courtyard, and he was very content with the family benefits here. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Once all affairs were handled, Qin Yang glanced at the time and did not rush home but headed in another direction instead.
At the same time, Lin Chuxia also started to get busy with the handover process.
Sun Lanlan was now visibly pregnant. Lin Chuxia fully entrusted her with the responsibility of the bun shop at the train station. Considering her physical condition, even the right to recruit employees was granted to her.
"If you’re short on staff, hire more. Don’t exhaust yourself because of the shop. I’m still looking forward to being a godmother, you know."
Sun Lanlan was on the verge of tears and looked reluctant, "Then how often will you come back? Let me tell you, don’t expect to dump everything on me — you have to come back once a month, otherwise, I will run the shop to the ground."
"Alright, if you have the guts to run it to the ground, I have the guts to take responsibility. Do you want to run the Xiyang Food Factory into the ground as well?"
Sun Lanlan couldn’t help laughing, "If you let us manage the bun shop and the factory, and we end up running them into the ground, won’t we become the laughingstock of the entire Ancheng County?"
"It’s okay. Even if the entire Ancheng County laughs at you, I won’t."
Lin Chuxia really didn’t want to worry a pregnant woman and quickly reassured her.
"Don’t worry. My main base is in An City; I’ll definitely come back frequently."
Lin Chuxia was well aware of Su Wensong’s capabilities. There was no problem with him managing the Xiyang Food Factory, and even the chicken farm in Daqing Mountain Village was now under his management.
And the bun shop managed by Qin Han never needed Lin Chuxia to worry, which was why she had decided to give the old family house to Qin Han.
Qin Han and Zhang Guilan had never considered themselves merely employees of the bun shop but thoroughly treated Lin Chuxia as family and the bun shop as their own business, although all the money they earned went to Lin Chuxia, and they only took their salaries.
This time, Lin Chuxia not only gave them managerial rights but also gave them a thirty percent share in the bun shop. There would be a bonus for them at the end of the year.
"Brother, listen to you talk. My sister-in-law and I are just two honest folk. Having a stable job at the bun shop is already great. Back when we were farming, we endured wind and sun and couldn’t save much by the end of the year. Now look at us, plump and fair from working at the bun shop, and we’ve saved nearly 2000 yuan this year..."
When it came to giving shares, Qin Han immediately disagreed.
Yesterday, Qin Yang told him about the money for building the house and the matter of the old house, and he didn’t even know how to react.
Now giving shares, this... it was too much.
What did his wife and he do to deserve such treatment?
Just working at the bun shop, taking care of things, and the buddies he grew up with in the village, how many were so envious they were practically drooling?
"Big brother, if you are going to count it like that, I will really get upset," Lin Chuxia cut him off, "Big brother and sister-in-law have done so much for this bun shop, I know that. If you still consider me family, then do as I say. Qin Yang and I are going to live in the city. It’s not just the bun shop’s business; even taking care of mom and dad will need more attention from big brother and sister-in-law. You’ve never quibbled over responsibilities with me before, so why start nitpicking over money now?"
Seeing Lin Chuxia’s stern face, Qin Han was truly at a loss for a moment, eventually only able to respond with a laugh of agreement.
