With this car, Lin Chuxia was in good spirits all day long.
Although this was the lifetime she had lived, after experiencing a more advanced world, no one would be used to this backward era.
Communication was undeveloped, transportation was undeveloped, and even journeys of a few kilometers required primitive walking or cycling.
It was precisely because of this that Lin Chuxia had an extraordinary respect for Qin Yang and those like him.
Speaking of Qin Yang, it had been over a month since he left. Although they corresponded frequently, the longing intensified more than before the festival.
I should write him another letter when I get back. Now that the weather is warm, their construction work must be in full swing.
During this period, their engineering personnel were also working hard. I should send some milk powder and similar stuff over.
Resources were scarce over there, and even if he had time, Qin Yang was not the type to stroll around the city to buy things; he wouldn’t spend even if he had the money.
Lin Chuxia was thinking this as she entered her home. Before she could steady her bike, Qian Chuncao came out from the house, "Sister-in-law, are you back from work?"
Mrs. Qin followed her out and explained to Lin Chuxia, "Your sister-in-law has been here for a good half of the day, waiting for you."
Lin Chuxia guessed the reason, "Let’s go inside and talk, sister-in-law."
She led Qian Chuncao directly to their room. Gratitude flashed in Qian Chuncao’s eyes.
Once inside, before Lin Chuxia could speak, Qian Chuncao began to apologize, "Sister-in-law, I only found out about Lihua’s situation today. I’m truly ashamed to face you. You arranged for Lihua and Jianjun to work at your place, and those two kids should be doing more and better than others. But Lihua ended up doing such a thing. When your elder brother heard about this, he disagreed with her marriage to Mr. Cai completely, feeling sorry for you."
Lin Chuxia asked Qian Chuncao to sit down and offered her a glass of water.
"Sister-in-law, there’s nothing to apologize to me about; nowadays, the country advocates free love..."
"That’s different, I heard everything from Jianjun. Mr. Cai was originally introduced by Manager Sun’s brother, and the plan was for him to develop a relationship with Manager Sun, but look at what Lihua did."
"It’s true that it was Sun Bingnan who introduced him, and the idea was for him to grow closer with Lanlan. However, after working together for half a year, they didn’t make any progress, whereas Lihua confirmed a romantic relationship with him in such a short time; perhaps it was fate."
Even Sun Lanlan had come to terms with it, so Lin Chuxia felt that a loss may be a blessing in disguise.
"What fate? It was all Ma Suhua’s doing," Qian Chuncao said indignantly.
She had blamed Ma Suhua from the start, but for her daughter’s sake, she couldn’t immediately confront her.
Then her husband got back, heard the story, dismissed the marriage prospect outright, and almost hit their daughter, further aggravating Qian Chuncao’s anger towards Ma Suyun.
The day was spent with her husband scolding and her daughter weeping without a bite to eat at lunch.
In the afternoon, a matchmaker paid a visit on behalf of the Cai family; had she not stopped them, the matchmaker wouldn’t have even made it through the door.
She didn’t know what to do anymore.
Deep down she knew it was her daughter’s fault, but now that the news had spread, if they called off the engagement, her daughter’s reputation would be destroyed.
Now, hearing Lin Chuxia speak this way, Qian Chuncao’s heart eased a lot.
"It’s my fault for not raising my child properly, but now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to ask for your help."
Her husband didn’t agree, simply because he felt sorry for Lin Chuxia. If Lin Chuxia agreed, it would be easy to deal with her husband.
"So, sister-in-law, you agree to this marriage?" asked Lin Chuxia.
