Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Just Waiting to See You Eagerly Courting Rejection

Li Chuxia was telling the truth; in both her lives, she had never seen Qin Yang.

In her previous life, the relationship between Lin Jiayi and Qin Yang was bad. They hadn't even met when Lin Jiayi returned to her parental home after the wedding, and since Qin Yang worked out of town, there was no chance for her to see him.

After the Li Family's business thrived, her mother-in-law didn't want her to have contact with those vampires from her parental home. She only sent money home, seeing her family even less frequently throughout the year.

Later on, Lin Jiayi divorced Qin Yang, and Li Chuxia had never met that brother-in-law of hers until she died.

All she had heard was that this man was cold in temperament, lacked human warmth, and was a complete workaholic. He would even neglect coming home for his job.

Seeing that Li Chuxia appeared not to be lying, Sun Lanlan felt relieved and said, "Working is also good, you get rationed grain, a salary every month. Many people dream of marrying someone with a job."

Li Chuxia glanced sideward, a twinkle in her eyes, and teasingly responded, "Then you should strive to find someone with a job, too."

Right now, she couldn't change much, but she could plant a seed, hoping that her good friend wouldn't get involved with that scumbag in this lifetime.

Sun Lanlan's face flushed, "Ah, we're talking about you here, why bring me into this?"

Seeing that Li Chuxia truly didn't seem troubled, Sun Lanlan felt reassured and unwrapped the paper package she brought.

"This is my wedding gift for you. Considering your sister is around, your mother probably won't prepare much for your dowry. Keep this cloth and make some clothes out of it."

It was a piece of red plaid cloth, about four or five yards, just enough to make a coat.

Li Chuxia's heart warmed.

Today, her mother and Lin Jiayi went to the city to shop for wedding supplies, leaving her to watch the house. Li Chuxia knew clearly that they were shopping for Lin Jiayi.

It was the same in her previous life. The Li Family had provided a bride price of three hundred yuan, not having the money to give more. Besides eighty yuan from the Qin Family, they also gave a piece of cloth.

Her mother talked about matching social status; what attitude the in-laws showed equaled what attitude the parents showed. They bought Lin Jiayi two new outfits, and even the cloth from Sun Lanlan was taken to maintain appearances for Lin Jiayi.

Fingertips gently brushing over the fabric, "Thank you, Lanlan, having a friend like you is my good fortune."

"What is there to be polite about," Sun Lanlan nonchalantly waved her hand, "If Qin Yang ever bullies you, just tell me. But he's not home to bully you anyway. It's Li Guangyuan, with his strong and rough stature, I really can't beat him if he bullies you. It's good that you don't have to marry him."

She finished speaking and laughed heartily on her own.

Li Chuxia laughed along with her.

Li Guangyuan did indeed have violent tendencies. At the beginning of their marriage, he seemed quite honest due to her competence. But, as the business grew, he developed a sense of superiority, found women outside, and began to reveal his true nature.

It wasn't that she couldn't divorce him at the time; it was just that all the business was registered in Li Guangyuan's name. If she divorced, she would have to give up a large part of her estate.

All of that was achieved through her hard scheming, and she was unwilling to let it go easily, so she enrolled in a Sanda (Chinese boxing) class.

Domestic violence, was it? She would see who was more formidable, until she beat the man so bad he never dared to lay a hand on her again, even avoiding her upon sight.

Li Chuxia was someone who was ruthless to others but even more so to herself.
