Chapter 560: Chapter 559 I’m Not Pregnant

Miao Xue found Chen Gang and planned how to add trouble to Lin Xia’s life, huh?

Actually, it was quite simple.

She casually started to chat with Chen Gang and mentioned that Lin Xia, who lived next door to her, had made a big profit again.

Based on her understanding of Chen Gang, this guy always wanted to make big money without much effort.

Unfortunately, although he was good at eating, drinking, and having fun from childhood to adulthood, he had no brain for doing business and making money.

The cosmetics store his family ran was opened only after watching Lin Xia do it; he then followed suit.

Upon hearing this, Chen Gang indeed became interested, "How did she make big money?"

In his opinion, Lin Xia was quite business-savvy. Setting aside the complicated relationship with his wife Lin Yu, sometimes he really admired her quite a bit.

Chen Gang had compared Lin Xia with Lin Yu not just once. More than once, he thought to himself how great it would be if Lin Yu could make money like Lin Xia.

Who wouldn’t want their wife to be capable and earn money?

As for him? Not only did he have to support Lin Yu, but he also had to support his mother-in-law. You can imagine how dissatisfied he felt inside.

Now, he was only restrained because he had a fragile, prematurely born son who still needed to be nursed, and because Lin Yu didn’t bother with whom he messed around outside with. These were the reasons why his occasional thoughts of being done with Lin Yu were temporarily suppressed.

If not for that, he would have dumped Lin Yu a long time ago!

Miao Xue deliberately pretended to be envious, "Flipping toys! People come to her house to stock up every day, all carrying bags of money..."

Chen Gang responded with an "Oh," "That thing! I saw her selling it at the store here in the summer! It wasn’t sold for very long. Is it really that profitable?"

Lin Xia didn’t retail the toys in the cosmetics store for long, so Chen Gang was unaware of just how profitable the toys Lin Xia managed really were.

Chen Gang saw it at the time but didn’t pay too much attention.

However, when he went to the provincial capital to stock up and didn’t see those toys at the wholesale market, he guessed that the goods were from the south.

"Making money, of course! My house is right next to hers, and I overheard by chance that Lin Xia wholesales for a few bucks, and people take it back to sell for ten bucks each!" Miao Xue actually overheard this from her mother-in-law mumbling with Wu Zhenghong, otherwise, with her coming and going from work, how could she know so much.

"Such a large margin?" Chen Gang was genuinely alarmed by this news from Miao Xue, and he was immediately somewhat tempted.

His family’s store was doing passable business, but the profit margin was too low.

The items that sold the fastest before the new year were mainly shirts, pants, underwear, and socks.

"You didn’t expect that, did you? If I hadn’t heard by chance, I wouldn’t have known it was so profitable!

Aren’t you going to give it some thought? If you really bring in the goods, both wholesale and retail are viable... I’m just a woman, and I have my job, and my husband Wu Zhengyang knows nothing but his job. If not for that, I’d want to get some to sell myself!"

"I need to think it over first!" Chen Gang had some ideas in his mind.

He understood much more than Miao Xue that now was the winter holiday and just before the New Year, during which selling toys could be much more profitable than selling clothes, but the family money wasn’t with him.

Therefore, to do this, he still needed to discuss it with his parents before deciding.

Without much effort at all, Miao Xue stoked Chen Gang’s desire to have a share of the pie.

After that, Chen Gang discussed it with his mother. Although his mother hesitated, she couldn’t withstand her son’s persistent nagging.

In the end, she reluctantly agreed to let him take some money down to the south.

Lin Xia was unaware of what Miao Xue had done behind her back, as she was preoccupied with another matter that was troubling her.

Lin Xia sat on the sofa, cradling a cup of steaming hot water, her mind wandering slightly.

Ever since Lu Zheng left, she had been pondering one question almost all the time, that is, whether she was pregnant or not.

Just before her expected monthly period, her breasts were sore, her waist ached, and her stomach hurt.

These symptoms made her anxious and uncertain.

She didn’t know if these were just normal premenstrual reactions, or if she was indeed pregnant.

If she was pregnant, she couldn’t help but worry if her recent busyness had adversely affected her body.

She originally thought it was too soon to tell and decided to wait and see.

However, what she ended up waiting for was the arrival of her period.

When it was confirmed to be her period and not pregnancy, Lin Xia truly had mixed feelings.

Not only Lu Zheng, but she had also held out hope for this little life, yet the reality was that she was not pregnant.

Ever since their marriage, they had been intimate frequently, but she had not conceived.

She couldn’t help but wildly guess, could it be that one of them had some sort of problem.

That fellow Lu Zheng, strong and robust, the probability of him having a problem didn’t seem very high.

Then what about her?

Actually, her constitution was not that great.

In earlier years, her mother was in poor health, so she began managing household chores at a very young age, doing all kinds of work.

Not to mention using ice-cold water to wash and rinse in the dead of winter.

Just take when she worked at the youth spot in the mountain; in the winter, she would wade through snowdrifts, enduring even though her cotton pants and shoes got wet.

A woman is always afraid of the cold.

Although she didn’t understand medicine, she had heard that it is not easy for a woman with a cold womb to become pregnant.

Lin Xia, feeling downcast, called Lu Zheng.

As soon as Lu Zheng picked up and heard her start with a sigh of "it’s over,"

his heart skipped a beat, pounding uncontrollably, "What’s wrong? Wife?"

"I’m not pregnant!" Lin Xia said with a thick tone of disappointment. The eagerly anticipated little life had not come, and she couldn’t help but feel complicated.

Lu Zheng let out a huge sigh of relief, originally thinking that Lin Xia’s "it’s over" meant something bad had happened.

As for the result, he could accept it.

Honestly, he didn’t want Lin Xia to get pregnant at this time either, now it seemed like his wish had come true.

But even through the phone, he could feel Lin Xia’s disappointment and unusual mood.

"Wife! It’s good you’re not pregnant!"

Lin Xia huffed unhappily twice, "Why do I feel like you’re quite happy about it?"

Lu Zheng comforted her, "Silly wife! Actually, I didn’t expect you to get pregnant so soon.

I’m not by your side, if you were pregnant now, it would be too hard on you! You’ve been so busy before the new year, could your body have handled it if you were pregnant?"

Lin Xia fiddled with the phone cord and voiced her true feelings, "But I’m not afraid of the hardship! I really do want to have children soon!"

After getting married, the next logical step, of course, was to have children, and her in-laws must also be closely watching this matter.

On the other end, Lu Zheng laughed, "Wife! How long have we been married? Why the rush? I haven’t had enough of our time as a couple... Wife! Do you miss me? I miss you to death...

Every night I sleep hugging the pillow, pretending it’s you... "

"You really dare to say anything on the phone! How embarrassing if someone overheard!" Even without Lu Zheng in front of her, Lin Xia felt her face burning, quite embarrassed.

Lu Zheng was unabashed, saying quite confidently, "Who can meddle when I’m speaking sweet nothings to my wife? Wife! Don’t think too much! Just take good care of yourself...

As for children, I think it’s best to wait until you come over! I smoked and drank before, I heard it’s not good for the baby..."

Lu Zheng said a whole lot of reassuring words, and Lin Xia’s heavy heart finally brightened a bit.

When the call ended, Lin Xia looked at the red telephone and sighed softly.

Now, they hadn’t been married for long, so not being pregnant wasn’t a problem.

But what if she couldn’t conceive in the future after all?

If the problem turned out not to be Lu Zheng but her, what would she do then?

In Lu Zheng’s family, he was the only son. Even if his parents didn’t favor boys over girls, they would still want a child, wouldn’t they?

About the future, she inevitably felt a twinge of worry in her heart...
