Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 451

Chapter 451: Chapter 451: The New Son-in-Law Pays a Visit

Although they were far from Qin Family Village, their commotion was too great, attracting onlookers from afar.

Some, finding it quite the spectacle, put down what they were doing and headed their way.

Zhang Wenbin felt utterly humiliated and, with his anger having nowhere to vent, kept a stern face as he urged Li Dongmei to quickly help with the bicycle.

Li Dongmei also felt humiliated and summoning unexpected strength, she single-handedly pushed the bicycle up to the side of the road.

Zhang Wenbin followed and got up as well.

Once on the main road, without hesitation, they pedaled away as if escaping.

Not until they had gone a good distance did Zhang Wenbin look back, his face so dark it seemed ink might drip from it.

By the time they entered Xiaoqingshan Village, a suffocating gloom still hung heavy over Zhang Wenbin’s chest.

Li Dongmei also felt the chilly tension behind her and tried to break the ice with random chatter, finally making Zhang Wenbin’s tone sound less grim.

The Li Family had long known that today Li Dongmei would bring her new husband home, to the extent that even Li Guangyuan didn’t set up his stall today.

Lin Jiayi was especially dispatched by Old Mrs. Li to buy meat and cook early in the day.

It was not easy for Li Guangyuan to make money, yet Old Mrs. Li demanded that she buy two pounds of meat, and mentioned that as Li Dongmei’s siblings-in-law, they should give a dowry of 200 yuan.

This displeased Lin Jiayi greatly.

What’s this about giving more dowry money just because they are from the city? It’s only a second marriage for someone who’s been divorced.

Now hearing the noise at the door, knowing that her sister-in-law returned with her husband, Lin Jiayi wanted to pretend she didn’t see them, but upon lifting her head and seeing the person behind Li Dongmei, she stood frozen in place.

She may not have had many encounters with this man in a previous life, but Lin Jiayi was absolutely certain that this man should be Qin Juan’s big sister’s husband, Zhang Wenbin.

How could Zhang Wenbin be together with Li Dongmei? And how did he become a second marriage prospect? Had he divorced Qin Juan?

Lin Jiayi clearly remembered that in her previous life Zhang Wenbin never divorced Qin Juan.

Looking at Zhang Wenbin now, despite his relatively neat clothing, he seemed a world apart from the city official he was in the past life.

Even, judging by his appearance, he looked several years older than the Zhang Wenbin she saw later.

Lin Jiayi rubbed her eyes, wondering if she was mistaken, when she heard Li Dongmei introducing him to Old Mrs. Li and Li Guangyuan who had come out to greet them.

"Mom, big brother, this is Zhang Wenbin, just call him Wenbin," said Li Dongmei.

Zhang Wenbin was also sizing up the yard at the time.

The dilapidated wall surrounded three shabby rooms, and the yard too was in disarray.

Farming tools were piled on one side, firewood on the other, with chickens and ducks running all over, their droppings everywhere.

One could even smell a stinking odor in the air, as if coming from the pigsty.

Zhang Wenbin thought of Qin Juan’s home, also a rural household, but the Qin Family’s yard was always tidy and clean.

The Qin Family also raised chickens and pigs, but they were all penned up, certainly not running amok and defecating all over the yard.

As he was thinking, he felt something soft underfoot. Looking down, he noticed chicken droppings on the sole of his shoe.

Li Guangyuan had already come to greet him, after all, this was the man his sister brought home, likely soon to be his brother-in-law.

Li Guangyuan greeted Zhang Wenbin, but saw that the other didn’t even glance at him and was looking down at something with disgust.

Following his gaze, he saw the chicken droppings Zhang Wenbin had stepped in.
