Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife

Chapter 547: Chapter 547: Not Meant for Longevity

“I understand, you don’t have to worry so much. I know my own body well. Even if there are some old ailments, I can’t just stay indoors all the time, else I’ll suffocate and develop new issues.”

“I don’t object to you going out, but choose good weather. See, the snow is getting heavier and it’s so cold. What if you catch a cold?”

“Who doesn’t catch colds? They’re minor issues. Didn’t I have a cold just a few days ago?”

“For others, a cold is minor, but for you, is it really minor? Every winter, when you catch a cold, it’s as if it’s taking half your life away. Have you forgotten?”

……

“Sister-in-law Gong’s health is really not good,” said Sister-in-law Fu to Lin Chuxia after they left, “You haven’t lived here long enough to know, but a few years ago, Sister-in-law Gong nearly lost her life from a minor winter cold. I say Minister Wei’s affection for Sister-in-law Gong is genuine. During that time, he didn’t even care about work and stayed by her side every day. Alas, no one is perfect. Sister-in-law Gong is kind and amiable. No one in this residential compound has anything bad to say about her. Her relationship with Minister Wei is harmonious, but her health is poor. Many people secretly feel she isn’t destined for a long life and feel sorry for her.”

“Has she not gone to the hospital for her illness?”

Lin Chuxia didn’t know exactly what illness Sister-in-law Gong had, only that her health seemed poor.

The last time Sister-in-law Gong fainted at home, Qin Yang helped take her to the hospital, but in the end, it seemed they didn’t find any conclusive results.

“How could she not have been seen? As far as I know, over the years, Minister Wei has taken Sister-in-law Gong to many big hospitals. I heard they’ve even been to hospitals in the capital, but in the end, they just said it was an underlying weakness and that she needs to take care of herself.”

Sister-in-law Fu and Lin Chuxia exchanged a few simple words, and seeing that it was about time, they hurried home to cook.

Lin Chuxia was thinking about what to eat for lunch when Qin Yang came back from outside.

He didn’t care about what to eat, but instead asked about the events of that morning.

Qin Yang didn’t expect her to find out so quickly and didn’t hide it. He told her what happened.

Even though Lin Chuxia had a hunch, when she heard that the father of the other party was named He and the mother was named Yu, she was slightly taken aback.

Yu Manwen was the mother of the child she saved in her previous life, a great benefactor who had helped her.

“What happened next?” Lin Chuxia asked again.

“The other party wanted to report the story widely, perhaps thinking that such a story would be beneficial for me once it was reported, but I refused. Minister Wei also respected my decision, so the matter was settled. I didn’t really mind; knowing the child is healthy and safe now is enough for me.”

Lin Chuxia looked at him, with admiration and respect in her eyes that even she hadn’t noticed.

Her man was like this, only doing what he believed was right, rather than for any advantage or benefit the situation might bring him.

She even wondered again if the man who did good deeds without leaving a name in her past life was Qin Yang. Although there was no way to verify it, she already had an answer in her heart.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Qin Yang noticed her gaze and smiled slightly.

“I just think my husband is amazing and great. Qin Yang, I’ll support whatever decision you make.”

Qin Yang gently stroked the top of her head, “This isn’t great, just a simple gesture. What do you want for lunch? I’ll make it.”

“I don’t know what I want to eat. My mouth feels a bit bland. I want something flavorful but not too heavy.”

This was a tough request for Qin Yang.

If she’d actually specified what she wanted, no matter what it was, he would try his best to satisfy her.

But this request had him at a complete loss.

“How about fish soup? We can still get fresh fish at the market now,” he suggested.

Lin Chuxia shook her head, “I don’t want it; it’s too fishy.”

“Maybe chicken soup?”

Lin Chuxia shook her head again, “I don’t want that either. How about we have hot pot without the meat? Just some vegetables with sesame paste dipping sauce, and I want to add some fried chili. Just this, Qin Yang, hurry up. I’ll check what veggies we have, and you prepare the sesame paste sauce.”

The more she talked, the more she couldn’t help herself, and her mouth started watering. “Oh, right, you do the fried chili,” she added.

The chili Qin Yang fried was fragrant and spicy, just perfect for the dipping sauce.

Qin Yang watched her eager expression, shaking his head in resignation.

Since she got pregnant, whatever she craved, she wanted immediately. If he said no now, she’d probably cry out loud.

But it was impossible for Qin Yang to refuse his wife’s requests.

He took the sesame paste and started preparing the sauce according to his wife’s taste, while Lin Chuxia had already found several vegetables ready for the hot pot, most of which were from the Qin Family Village’s greenhouse.

With the cold weather, even the refrigerator was unnecessary, and they could still keep the vegetables fresh.

As a result, they always received extra when vegetables were delivered, so they could eat whenever they wanted.

It wasn’t long before the sauce was ready. Lin Chuxia couldn’t even wait for the vegetables and dipped a bit of the sauce with her chopsticks to taste it.

Qin Yang found it amusing, “Wait a bit longer, these veggies will be ready soon for dipping.”

To distract her so she wouldn’t finish the dipping sauce before the veggies were ready, Qin Yang shifted the topic, asking what Lin Chuxia did in the morning and when Lin Jiadong and the others set off.

As soon as the topic changed, Lin Chuxia forgot about the sauce.

When the steaming hot pot finally boiled, Lin Chuxia could finally enjoy her veggies in the hot pot.

Outside, little snowflakes drifted down, making the hot pot experience exceptionally cozy.

Qin Yang wasn’t in a rush, focusing on cooking for her, while Lin Chuxia happily enjoyed his service.

As she was almost full, she suddenly asked, “Aren’t you finding it hard to fill up just eating these?”

Qin Yang smiled and glanced at her, “Isn’t it a bit late for you to think about that, Madam?”

However, not giving her the chance to feel guilty, he continued, “It’s okay. I can cook some noodles.”

As long as his wife was happy, even just watching was satisfying for him.

…………

The snow this time wasn’t heavy and didn’t last long, stopping by the afternoon, leaving only a thin layer on the ground.

Lin Chuxia let out a breath of relief.

Actually, this region sees one or two heavy snowfalls and several light ones every year.

However, this year the Qin Family Village had started with the vegetable greenhouse, and any snow could have an impact.

If the vegetables froze in the greenhouse, this season’s investment would be a total loss.

Although after the market opened, they were mentally prepared for such challenges in agriculture, losing everything in the first year would still hit them hard.

If the snow fell later, the greenhouse vegetables could be sustained longer.

The sooner the sun came out, the sooner the temperature in the greenhouse could rise.
