Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Chapter 10 is really an ungrateful wretch

Lin Chuxia had eaten and drunk her fill, when Mrs. Qin entered the bridal chamber to take her to meet relatives and friends.

Seeing the leftover dishes at the side and then looking at Lin Chuxia, who sat quietly by the bed like a flower, Mrs. Qin was even more satisfied.

Her son was introverted, and had shown no interest in marrying despite many suggestions over the years. He had even said that as long as the Qin Family had Zhuangzhuang to carry on the family line, there was no need for him to marry.

Knowing her son was career-minded and willing to dedicate everything to the country, she felt proud of him.

However, as a mother, who wouldn't wish for her child to marry and be successful? She yearned for his complete happiness. frёewebnoѵēl.com

This time, having finally agreed to marry, there was an unexpected issue of swapping brides at the Lin Family.

After many twists and turns, the marriage was finally arranged.

Looking at the young daughter-in-law, she indeed looked better than the eldest Lin girl. The meals had been deliberately served to the daughter-in-law by her son, hoping her young son would be pleased with a wife as lovely as a flower.

She didn't expect the daughter-in-law to hold sway over her son; as long as the couple could live peacefully and have a child or two in a year or two, she would feel she had served her duty to the Qin ancestors.

While the Qin Family was having a lively wedding celebration, things were much quieter at the Lin household.

Mr. Lin and Mother Lin returned home with their younger son before noon, planning to join their daughter at the Qin Family for lunch.

After all, the Qin Family's offerings surely had to be better than the Li Family's.

She had seen it herself; the Li Family had nothing but a big pot of stew, and even the steamed buns were mixed with cornmeal.

When they got home, it was eerily quiet and there was no sign of their younger daughter, and even her dowry was gone.

Before she could even ask, a neighbor told them that the Qin Family had come to fetch the bride in a tractor, and the ungrateful Lin Chuxia had left with them.

Mother Lin was bursting with unvented frustration.

"Mom, why don't we chase after Jiadong? Maybe we can still catch up," Lin Jiadong spoke up, rubbing his stomach.

He hadn't eaten breakfast and had been busy all morning; he was starving.

"What's the use of chasing? Can your two legs catch up to four wheels?" Besides, they've been gone for half the day.

"What should we do then?" Lin Jiadong felt even more aggrieved, "I said we should have left earlier but you insisted on staying at the Li's, and when I said to eat there you didn't want to, apparently, you just want to starve."

"Who knew your sister was so eager to run off with them? Just like a white-eyed wolf that can't be tamed. Without her family, does she think she brings honor to herself? She deserves to be looked down upon by her in-laws."

Mother Lin said these words with a tinge of blame towards her elder daughter in her heart; she had hoped to make it back in time, but her elder daughter clung to her, reluctant to let her go.

The daughter who had just married, she too felt reluctant to part, thus time slipped by.

Yet what angered her most was her younger daughter; what harm would waiting a little longer do?

After a bustling day, it finally quieted down at night.

It wasn't that there wasn't a custom of teasing the bridal chamber locally; it's just that Qin Yang was aloof and rarely made it home in a year. Being the last to marry among his peers and the oldest among the younger generation, nobody dared to tease him.

After dinner, Lin Chuxia went back to her room.

She had spent the day acting properly, not rushing to show off in front of the Qin Family.

With the actions of her family, no matter how she behaved now, it would seem insincere; better to be herself, as time would reveal true hearts.

On the Kang, sister-in-law had already come in to help with the bedding; it was customary for a person blessed with full happiness to make the bed on the wedding night. Having Zhuangzhuang and her parents alive, the sister-in-law was truly considered a person of complete blessing in the village.

Two quilts, one red and one green, both provided by the Qin Family, were obviously new.
