Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 17

Chapter 17: Chapter 17: I only felt a hard slap on the face

Lin Jiayi looked at Lin Chuxia, raised her hand to touch the corner of her lips, lost in thought.

Then she smiled again, "Seeing my younger sister marry such a good man, I am happy for her."

"Then I should thank big sister," Lin Chuxia said sincerely.

In the past few days of interacting with the Qin Family, she had seen their true character, which was far superior to the Li Family’s, with their two-faced ways.

Even though it was her homecoming as the bride, Second Aunt Lin came over with her daughter-in-law to help, and they couldn’t rely solely on them to cook.

While the men were in the room talking and drinking water with the new son-in-law, Second Aunt Lin chatted with Lin Chuxia while picking vegetables, asking about her situation in the Qin Family.

Mother Lin turned to listen as well.

Truth be told, when she saw Qin Yang today, she still felt that her eldest daughter was foolish.

"The in-laws are very nice, and Brother Qin and Eldest Son Qin’s wife aren’t troublesome people," Lin Chuxia answered genuinely.

"That’s really lucky, Qin Yang is also quite spirited."

Second Aunt Lin’s words were irritating to Lin Jiayi, "Alright, Chuxia, there are no outsiders here, you don’t have to pretend. We can guess what the Qin Family is like even if you don’t say it. Since Qin Yang started university, he wasn’t home much, and even though the in-laws are in charge, they’ve been overpowered by Eldest Son Qin and his wife. Can a newcomer like you get a good deal? Wait until Qin Yang goes back to his job in a few days, let’s see if you can still smile then."

This was just pretending to be more than one actually is.

If life were really that good, would she look this haggard? It’s hard to say how much she suffered at the hands of Old Lady Qin and Eldest Son Qin’s wife.

Eldest Son Qin’s wife is clever with her words — kind to others in public, earning a good reputation, but calculating privately.

With Qin Yang earning a salary, Brother Qin and his wife kept encouraging Old Lady Qin not to split the household, all because they were eyeing the younger brother’s money.

If it wasn’t for Old Lady Qin holding onto Qin Yang’s salary, would they have argued about it on their wedding night?

In her past life, it wasn’t until Qin Yang brought that child home that they split the household. Before that, she suffered a lot. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

"Speaking of which, I have to mention Guang Yuan. Although he has two sisters, he’s the only son of the Li Family, so in a few years when his sisters are married off, my husband and I will be the ones calling the shots inside and outside the house, with no sibling-in-law conflicts."

Second Aunt Lin smiled, "That’s true, having just one brother does mean fewer complications."

Lin Chuxia’s eyes twinkled slightly, and she smiled faintly, "Big sister has a point. I am actually quite envious of you. Once married, you can make your own decisions about everything. Unlike me, who not only has my in-laws above me but also Brother Qin and his wife. As the new bride, I can only be submissive."

She realized that in the previous life, Qin Yang returned to his work right after getting married and probably didn’t split the family then either.

However, she did not want to elaborate. This was for the better, as a daughter without say in her in-laws’ house held little value in her maternal home.

Seeing that she had admitted it, Lin Jiayi was satisfied, "When it comes to marriage, you have to marry someone who’s by your side, who knows when you are cold or warm. No matter how capable Qin Yang is, he’s in a different place. Can he really take you with him to work?"

To be separated and unable to meet for a year was no different from being a living widow.

Mother Lin was enlightened by these words, and upon reflection, the change in her eldest daughter’s marital prospects seemed good.

"Guang Yuan is different; he’s with me every day, always considering me in everything he does. Although farming is tiring, he said I won’t have to work in the fields in the future, just stay at home and cook."

"You don’t have to work in the fields? My goodness, would the Li Family agree to that?" exclaimed Second Aunt Lin.
