Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 245

Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Look at with New Eyes

Lin Chuxia had no idea what her words had inspired the village chief to decide. Upon returning home and entering the courtyard, Mrs. Qin came out to meet her.

Seeing the grave expression on Mrs. Qin’s face, Lin Chuxia asked directly, "What’s wrong, Mom? Did something happen?"

Mrs. Qin took Lin Chuxia by the arm, pointing inside the house, "A few public security comrades have come looking for you. Your dad is entertaining them inside right now; we don’t know what the matter is."

Lin Chuxia, seeing the worry on Mrs. Qin’s face, patted her arm, "Don’t worry, I’ll go in and see."

It’s likely that the public security comrades are here because of what happened last night.

As expected, most of the officers inside were familiar faces: Chen Ping, Sun Hao, and an older one.

Chen Ping and Sun Hao stood up first to greet Lin Chuxia and then turned to introduce her to the older officer, "Director Wang, this is Mr. Lin."

Director Wang got up and extended his right hand, "Mr. Lin, thank you for yesterday. I’ve heard all about it. Not only did you save Comrade Chen Ping, but you also helped us apprehend a criminal suspect. The case is being further investigated, and you really helped us out a lot this time. On behalf of our department, I thank you."

Lin Chuxia shook hands with Director Wang simply and smiled slightly, "I was just doing what I should."

Although she spoke lightly, everyone present, except for Mr. and Mrs. Qin, knew the gravity of the situation then.

Director Wang was not about to disregard Lin Chuxia’s merits just because she was modest.

"The case requires further investigation, but I have already reported Mr. Lin’s actions to the organization."

This meant they were looking to give Lin Chuxia some reward, and naturally, she had no reason to decline.

After a while, Director Wang suggested it was time to leave. Sun Hao and Director Wang left first, but Chen Ping stayed behind.

Under the shade of the big tree in the courtyard, Lin Chuxia brought some fresh fruit for Chen Ping.

Chen Ping joked with a smile, "Such big grapes, I’m in for a treat today."

The grapes were grown in Granny Su’s yard. Granny Su had a green thumb for flowers, and her grapevines were just as thriving.

Lin Chuxia pushed the fruit plate closer to her so she would eat more, "How are your injuries?"

"Not bad, won’t kill me. We’re a tough bunch, I’ll be fine after some rest."

"Still, you can’t be careless. Women and men are different. You need to be careful when you should."

Yesterday she had seen Chen Ping clutching the area of her stomach—that’s where women are most vulnerable.

Chen Ping certainly understood Lin Chuxia’s kindness and apologized again.

Ever since the public security officers had been in the house, Zhuangzhuang had been hiding far away, watching curiously with his big, grape-like black eyes.

Children are like that, admiring yet also in awe of the public security officers.

After Director Wang and Sun Hao had left, the house was left with a beautiful auntie wearing a public security uniform, and Zhuangzhuang felt a bit braver.

Now, not far away, he huddled around Yuan Bao’s neck, chattering away, though it was unclear what he was telling Yuan Bao.

Yuan Bao also cooperated by shaking his head and wagging his tail, occasionally making a humming sound or two.

This scene, watched from afar, was inexplicably harmonious and even a bit humorous.

"Your dog is really smart; it seems to understand what we say. Where did you get this little dog from?"

Remembering the scene from yesterday, Chen Ping saw Yuan Bao in a new light.
