Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 279

Chapter 279: Chapter 279: Not Even Fit for Dogs to Eat

Lin Jiayi panicked all of a sudden, the accusations of the last few people gave her a bad premonition.

Li Hongmei was someone who sold cooked meat, and the sisters Li Hongmei and Li Dongmei looked very alike.

Which is to say that the cooked meat wasn’t bought from them, it was very likely bought from Li Hongmei.

"Big brother, aunty, you’ve recognized the wrong person, please take another look. We’re really not the people who sold you the cooked meat. Isn’t the person older than her?"

She pulled Li Dongmei over for everyone to see, afraid that they would mistake them for Li Hongmei and beat them up.

These people, however, were not buying her story, "Even if it isn’t her, you’re still not off the hook. Don’t think I don’t know that you’re all from the same family. Maybe you deliberately had her sell spoiled meat yesterday, and today you let her hide and switch people to sell, deceiving us common folk. Villagers, don’t listen to her nonsense, if we don’t get compensated today, we’re taking action..."

"That’s right, I’ve seen it, their goods are all the same."

"Not only are their goods the same, I also know they’re from Xiaoqingshan Village."

......

Seeing their covers blown, they couldn’t hide anything anymore, Lin Jiayi in desperation covered her belly and cried out in pain, "Ouch".

Li Dongmei, struck by a moment of inspiration, immediately supported Lin Jiayi, speaking anxiously, "Sister-in-law, what’s wrong with you? Are you having an upset pregnancy? What should we do? You’re so far along, such upset won’t cause complications, right?"

After all, faced with a pregnant woman, these people, although wanting compensation for medical expenses, didn’t want to cause a fatality.

Seeing Lin Jiayi holding her belly and crying out incessantly, the more timid ones had already begun sneaking away, fearing a delay might implicate themselves.

Even the few who were leading the crowd didn’t dare to act recklessly, they eventually left some harsh words and took everyone away.

Lin Jiayi waited until all was quiet before looking around.

Li Dongmei cautiously asked, "Sister-in-law, what should we do now? Should we continue to sell?"

"Sell what? Let’s pack up and go home."

Li Dongmei now heeded her sister-in-law’s words very much, precisely to say, after Li Hongmei married Ma Dazhuang, she recognized reality.

In this family, no matter how much her mother dotes on her, her mother is getting old, and cannot be relied upon at crucial moments.

If her sister-in-law had the intention to trick her, her mother would be powerless to help.

Especially regarding marriage matters, she doesn’t want to follow her big sister’s old path.

Therefore, in the family, even if she looked down on this sister-in-law, she dared not oppose her like before.

After the family started the cooked meat business, she saw her sister-in-law in a new light.

Lin Chuxia became prosperous, and even Sun Lanlan who was good friends with her managed to marry a city man.

If her brother and sister-in-law became prosperous, wanting to marry a city man would be a piece of cake for her, right?

Li Dongmei obediently packed up the stall, shouldered the carrying pole, and walked home with Lin Jiayi.

By the time Lin Jiayi and Li Dongmei got home, Li Hongmei had already returned.

The carrying pole used for the meat was under the big tree in the yard.

Lin Jiayi quickly stepped forward and lifted the cover cloth, only to see that the basket was still half full of meat, which seemed to be emitting a faint stench.

Lin Jiayi’s face immediately darkened, and she went inside to confront Li Hongmei.

"How come you returned with so much unsold goods? And leaving it in the yard, with the weather so hot outside, won’t that spoil all the meat?"

So much meat in the basket, worth so much money, Lin Jiayi felt distressed just looking at it.

"I said from the beginning that you should sell with us, but you insisted on selling by yourself. This is the result of your own selling? I bet you took the goods somewhere to slack off, right?"
