Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 38

Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Following You Leads the Way

The rain stopped in the middle of the night, and today is a clear sunny day. Early in the morning, the sun’s heat rose rapidly, shining on the damp earth, with a thin layer of mist evaporating in the air.

This season’s weather is like that, but it’s tough for vegetable farmers, especially crops like eggplant. When faced with such weather, perfectly good eggplants will slowly rot away.

Early in the morning, Brother Su and his wife went to the fields, planning to drain the water from the eggplant furrows, hoping to alleviate the problem.

Lin Chuxia also left her house, bringing along the beef sauce and spicy fried peppers she made the night before, as well as the letters. She first went to the post office, mailed the items, and then headed to the vicinity of the train station.

Firstly, to continue looking for a suitable house and secondly, to try her luck.

Yesterday she had run into Su Wensong there, and figured his home must be nearby.

After several times of receiving his help, Lin Chuxia felt she should properly thank him.

As it turned out, she did catch up with him. As soon as she got near the train station, she saw a man hurrying along from a distance—it was none other than Su Wensong.

"Brother Su," Lin Chuxia called out.

Su Wensong turned at the sound and saw the woman opposite him, his somewhat weathered face broke into a simple smile, "Oh, it’s you. Not selling buns today?"

He passed by this area every day and knew that Lin Chuxia sold buns.

He had even considered whether he could also start a small business, but eventually, he dismissed the idea.

Even he didn’t like the food he cooked; who else would buy it?

"I’ll set up the stall in the afternoon. Where are you off to, Brother Su? I was just looking for you to give my thanks. I really appreciate what you did these last two times."

As she spoke, she handed over the things she had purchased along the way—two cans of food and two pounds of peach crisps.

Lin Chuxia hadn’t bought anything too expensive. After dealing with people in her past life, she could partially read faces.

Su Wensong was a genuine person. He had helped her simply because he was upright and of good character. Anything too expensive, and he probably wouldn’t accept.

She didn’t buy alcohol or tobacco. Although Su Wensong looked worn, he seemed clean and not someone who smoked. It wasn’t clear if he drank, but he certainly wasn’t obsessed with alcohol.

And there was Granny Su in his family, so it made sense that giving food as a gift would be more acceptable to him than tobacco or alcohol.

Sure enough, Su Wensong hesitantly tried to refuse, "It was but a small effort, you’re too polite, my girl. Please keep these things; I can’t accept them."

"Brother Su, that small effort of yours really helped me out a lot. Whether it was the day with the robber or yesterday, without your small effort, my loss would have been huge. I already feel like these things aren’t sufficient, but if you don’t accept them, it’s like you’re looking down on my small gesture," she said, showing an appropriate amount of embarrassment.

Su Wensong was at a loss for words and didn’t know what to say; eventually, he accepted the items from her hands, "I truly didn’t mean it like that. Right, my home is here in this alley. Come in for a drink of water. My granny is at home."

The last sentence was to inform Lin Chuxia that he wasn’t the only person in the house.

A casual comment showed Su Wensong’s character, and Lin Chuxia took it into consideration, nodding her head, "Alright, then I’ll trouble Granny Su."
