Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 100

Chapter 100: Chapter 100 She is redundant to explain this

What’s the big deal about coming from the countryside? Two generations up, which family here wasn’t from the countryside?

It’s really rare to see someone speak so disapprovingly of themselves with such fluidity.

Sister-in-law Feng’s eyes widened as she looked Lin Chuxia up and down, then slapped her thigh, "Oh my, just think, some people are born with good fortune. You and Mr. Qin don’t resemble people from the countryside at all. Nobody would believe it if you said it; you look like city folks born and raised. Then there’s us, even after living here for so long, we don’t even compare a tiny bit, we just can’t compare..."

Lin Chuxia: "..."

No need for her to explain this.

"Sister, you play with the kids. Sister-in-law Song is waiting for me, I need to go."

"Ah, right, go on then. Sister-in-law Song is really nice too, she’s so well-liked. Everyone here likes to talk to her. I actually enjoy chatting with her too, it’s just that..."

Sister-in-law Feng was still prattling on behind her, but Lin Chuxia had already hurried away from the scene, heading straight to Sister-in-law Song’s place.

Seeing her slightly out of breath, Sister-in-law Song thought she was in a hurry and laughed, "You really didn’t need to rush. It’s all because Brother Bai is so picky about my cooking. It wasn’t easy waiting for you to come, and he just wants you to give me a couple of pointers. Cooking skills can’t be learned by just saying a few words, can they? I think he’s dreaming."

Lin Chuxia laughed along with her and handed over the items, "I ran into Sister-in-law Feng on the way here."

That day in the canteen, Sister-in-law Song was also present, and having lived here for so long, they knew exactly what kind of person Sister-in-law Feng was.

As soon as Lin Chuxia mentioned her, it was clear that Sister-in-law Feng had been up to her tricks again.

"Don’t mind her. When it comes to it, their Project Division Two doesn’t have much to do with our Project Division One. Her husband is quite capable too, but I don’t know what she thinks, always feeling inferior to others. Especially when she sees these genuine university graduates, she wants to curry favor. When she first came here, she often sought me out, and it wasn’t just me—other colleagues’ family members were quite friendly to her too. Since our men work together, we housewives have nothing better to do than to visit each other and chat. But whenever she talks, she goes on about not being worthy or not as good as others. Many of these family members are from the countryside themselves, and none of them looked down on her, let alone disdained her. Yet she always puts herself down, making everyone uncomfortable. In the end, no one wanted to deal with her anymore, afraid of being blamed for bullying without reason."

Lin Chuxia nodded in agreement. That sounded about right.

Bai Xiaoming had gone to work, and the kids Bai Liang and Bai Tian were off playing somewhere.

Sister-in-law Song had already bought all the ingredients for tonight’s dinner, getting all the greens and beans ready.

It’s not like she was relying entirely on Lin Chuxia; it’s just that her own cooking skills were nothing to boast about. Especially after tasting Lin Chuxia’s beef sauce, she feared inviting her over for a meal only to end up making her sick.

"In a bit, you don’t have to lift a finger; just stand by and teach me how to do it. Learning a trick or two from you is a big win for me."

"Sister, you’re too modest. I’m not that skilled; I just started cooking at a young age."

"That’s not the same. I’ve been cooking since I was young too, and now at this age, I still haven’t made a single tasty meal."

Jokes aside, the two of them seriously started cooking together.

Sister-in-law Song bought some pork belly, planning to make braised pork, and since people in the Northwest eat a lot of lamb, she also got some fresh, tender lamb.

The pork belly was already cut up, and Lin Chuxia first asked Sister-in-law Song how she usually cooked it.

"Just boil some water in a pot, put the meat in, add some seasonings, and let it stew slowly. That’s how I was taught at home since I was a child."

"Let’s try a different method today."
