Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18: Chapter 18 Suddenly Want to Touch Her

After finishing their meal and resting a bit, Qin Yang and Lin Chuxia were about to leave.

Qin Yang had to catch an early train the next morning, and Lin Chuxia wanted to help him pack some of his belongings.

Hearing that Qin Yang was leaving tomorrow comforted Lin Jiayi somewhat.

When everyone left, she pulled Mother Lin to their original room.

This time, she didn’t just come back for a visit; she needed capital to do business. She thought she had two hundred yuan and the Li Family could contribute a little, enough to start the business. However, she didn’t expect that a marriage would only bring eighty yuan as a dowry, leaving the Li Family emptied out.

But then again, thinking about the famine debts at the Qin Family’s side, Lin Jiayi didn’t feel much anymore.

As soon as she heard more money was needed, Mother Lin frowned, "You’ve already taken two hundred, where would I get more money?"

"Mom, why do you still keep things from me like this? Didn’t the Qin Family give three hundred yuan as a dowry? I’m not asking for all of it, just give me another two hundred."

"Two hundred," upon hearing this, Mother Lin’s voice escalated, "What do you need so much money for? We still need to save that money for your younger brother’s future marriage."

Lin Jiayi hugged Mother Lin’s arm and acted spoiled, "I’m doing legitimate business, we want to do business but the capital is still short. Just give me another two hundred, once we make money from the business, let alone the capital, I can even provide for my younger brother’s dowry. Mom, please help me, you wouldn’t bear to see Guangyuan’s potential in business go to waste, right?"

Mother Lin had heard more than once from Lin Jiayi that Li Guangyuan had a knack for business, though she didn’t know where she heard it from, but her daughter always had grand ideas, choosing the Li Family over the Qin Family Village’s advantages must also have seen Li Guangyuan’s capabilities.

"Alright then, it’s agreed. When your younger brother gets married, regardless of how much the dowry costs, you need to help."

"Don’t worry, Mom, I keep my word. He’s my younger brother; if I don’t help him, who would?"

Once their business grows, not to mention a matter of a hundred and eighty yuan for dowry, even building a house and acquiring land for the younger brother wouldn’t be a problem.

It would also let the villagers see how successful Lin Jiayi is.

Not like how stingy Lin Chuxia is, living in a villa, driving a car, but disregarding her own family’s plight.

Comforted by these words, Mother Lin went to get the money.

At noon, the men had quite a bit to drink, Li Guangyuan was taken by Lin Jiadong to his room to sleep, and Mr. Lin was also snoring on the heated brick bed.

Mother Lin moved the cabinet at the head of the bed, lifted the bed mat, and when she removed the clay block, she couldn’t help but shout, "Where’s the money, my money?"

Lin Jiayi too hurriedly climbed onto the bed, grabbed the small cloth bag from Mother Lin’s hand and turned it inside out, finding nothing.

"Mom, are you sure you put the money here?"

"I put it here, all of it here, I personally placed it the day before your wedding," Mother Lin frantically searched.

Lin Jiayi narrowed her eyes, "Could it be that dead girl Chuxia stole the money?"

"That’s impossible," Mother Lin said without hesitation, "The second one, that coward, dare to steal money? Even if I throw the money in front of her, she would obediently pick it up and give it to me. Even with three times the courage, she wouldn’t dare."

It wasn’t just Mother Lin being confident; she knew best what the second daughter’s temper was like; this household didn’t have a spot for her to flare up, she’d rather starve than eat without permission.

Not to mention that this hiding spot was unknown to the second daughter.

"I think it must be your younger brother, that little wretched fellow, really needs a beating every three days, even daring to steal your mother’s money."

While speaking, Mother Lin climbed off the bed, and Lin Jiayi ominously added, "Mom, you’re not unwilling to lend me money and pretending that it’s lost, are you?"
