Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife-Chapter 402 Who Is Sick Between Them?

Lin Chuxia smiled, she couldn’t understand Qin Wen’s thoughts either.

"Just now in the crowd I saw him, talking to others about how risky vegetable greenhouses are, cautioning them not to get hot-headed and just do whatever the village chief says. Is he afraid of them following the village chief? Or is he afraid of them following us? It’s true what they say, a leopard can’t change its spots. I also heard that recently he’s been taking Ma Suyun to see doctors everywhere, right?"

Lin Chuxia turned her head, "Which one of them is sick?"

"Who knows who is being seen, perhaps both of them. I hear they want a child, they have been married for almost 4 years. Before, when Qin Wen had a job in the county, Ma Suyun thought their family was different from others. Even without children, they didn’t mind. But ever since Qin Wen was fired and came back, the two have been desperate to have a child. I’ve heard they’ve consumed quite a bit of herbal medicine..."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Qin Wen hurried into the courtyard and quickly shut the door.

Ma Suyun was feeding pigs in the courtyard. Seeing his behavior, she couldn’t help asking, "What are you doing? Sneaking around like that, I heard they’ve all signed some contract with the village, about growing vegetable greenhouses. Should we join them and grow some too?"

Qin Wen peered through the door crack for a long time before turning his head to answer his wife’s question, "Grow what? Don’t you know this whole thing is being set up by the village and Lin Chuxia?"

"So what? If everyone else is growing them, let’s grow too. She can’t forbid us from growing them, can she? Besides, I heard we don’t need to worry about them; we can invest and grow on our own..."

This way it wouldn’t involve them at all.

"You say it as if it’s so simple," Qin Wen cut her off, "Do you know how much money it takes to grow a vegetable greenhouse? Where will you get so much money to invest? What if we lose money, are we going to survive on Northwest winds together?"

"But if we don’t think of a solution, how will the little we make be enough for medical treatments and medicine?"

For the past half-year, the couple had been seeking medical treatment and medicine, starting first in the nearby small county, later moving on to the big city, their savings nearly depleted.

Qin Wen frowned at her, "You know how much money is being spent on medical treatments and medicine, can’t you be a bit stronger? Which family has to struggle as much as you to have a child, you’re utterly useless."

Ma Suyun’s lips trembled with grievance. The doctors clearly stated there was nothing wrong with her, even the city doctors bluntly said the problem lay with Qin Wen, but he refused to admit it, insisting it was her problem.

Now he was blaming all the faults on her.

Only today did Ma Suyun truly see this man clearly - to put it nicely, he is proud of his talents; to put it unpleasantly, he is arrogant and conceited.

Though not better than others, even if it was his issue, he would never admit it.

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

Once the vegetable greenhouse project was settled, it was carried out with great vigor.

Villagers had started piling up greenhouses according to the dimensions given by Lin Chuxia.

On the other side, Qin Han also gathered the skilled workers from the village, filled the large pit in the eastern side of the village, and began laying foundations for building houses.

Lin Chuxia wasn’t idle either, she contacted Qin Yang for the plastic sheets and bamboo strips needed for the vegetable greenhouses.

Lin Chuxia also got in touch with Xu Changping from the machinery factory to order a batch of metal greenhouse frames.

The machinery factory was on holiday, but greenhouse frames were simple to produce, so Xu Changping called back a few third-level workers to work overtime and produced this batch of metal greenhouse frames.

Emerging from a phone call with Xiyang Food Factory, Lin Chuxia stood at the entrance to the village and could already see the vegetable greenhouses rising from the ground not far away.

Some were already covered with plastic film, while others were still being eagerly constructed.

The villagers, who would normally be hibernating at home during this season, were all working with fiery enthusiasm.

On the way home, I often saw women sitting on straw in courtyards with open gates, weaving straw mats, which are important equipment for insulating vegetable greenhouses.

The courtyard walls of their agricultural supply store was already built up, and the courtyard was filled with piles of straw, bamboo strips, and other materials for the vegetable greenhouses.

The house for the agricultural supply store was also erected, and since it’s a store, the back door faces the courtyard, while the front is being fitted with glass.

Qin Han has been keeping an eye on this side these days, watching the workers build the house and registering the quantities of materials taken by the villagers.

Seeing Lin Chuxia coming, Qin Han waved to her.

"How’s it going, sister-in-law? Did you get in touch?"

Last time she went to the capital to buy related materials, Lin Chuxia had already contacted the technical staff of the Agricultural Research Institute.

Hearing that they were going to plant vegetable greenhouses on a large scale, the other party was very interested and promised to provide some technical support and would send someone over.

Lin Chuxia had just gone to make a phone call to confirm this matter.

"It’s all set, they’ll come at the end of the first lunar month."

The ground is still frozen now. Once the greenhouses are built, the first thing to ensure is the temperature inside the greenhouses and that the soil meets the planting standards.

Lin Chuxia has already instructed the village chief to communicate this to the villagers, who just need to follow the instructions.

With this matter settled, Qin Han was also relieved and pointed to the house behind him, "In another three to five days, this house will also be ready. The second brother said to buy a small boiler and directly heat radiators. I think it’s unnecessary; just add a few more stoves."

"Big brother, just listen to Qin Yang."

It’s not easy to have the house built at this time. If they can’t ensure heating inside, staying in these rooms is no different from sitting in an ice cellar. If it goes on for too long, people will end up getting sick.

Qin Han knew his brother and sister-in-law were thinking of his best interest, and he grinned broadly, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth.

"Alright, I’ll listen to you."

When Lin Chuxia got home, Qin Liang and his spouse were chatting with Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin.

Whether it’s the Bun Shop in Ancity County or the city, it reopened on the eighth day of the lunar new year.

Zhang Guilan, Qin Jianjun, and Qin Juan had already gone back to the Bun Shop to get busy.

Qin Liang and his spouse came over, definitely not for the matter of their son.

Sure enough, Qin Liang got straight to the point and directly said to Lin Chu, "The greenhouse in the field is already set up. Today we’ve covered it with plastic film and pressed down the straw mats. I was just telling your second uncle and aunt that whatever you want to plant in the greenhouse is up to you. My sister-in-law and I will help you look after it, and when the harvest comes, it’s all yours."

The vegetable greenhouse Qin Liang mentioned is owned by Qin Han.

In the past two years, the family’s land has been managed uniformly by Mr. Qin, with no difference between having divided the household or not.

Qin Han’s land is adjacent to Qin Liang’s. Knowing that the village was going to plant vegetable greenhouses, Mr. Qin was eager to try building one for the family, but Lin Chuxia stopped him.

It’s not easy to grow in vegetable greenhouses. They wouldn’t be able to help. Even Qin Han’s agricultural supply store would need Mr. Qin’s help to manage later on. By then, forget about the greenhouses; they probably wouldn’t even be able to plant the fields.

Taking this into account, a few days ago, she consulted with big brother Qin Liang. When the time comes, the Qin family’s land would be entrusted to them to plant, and the harvest would belong to Qin Liang and his family, as long as they pay the public grain tax for the family.
