Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 452

Chapter 452: Chapter 452: She Just Wants to Watch the Show

Old Mrs. Li’s expression was already so unsightly.

Li Dongmei sensed something and served Zhang Wenbin a chopstick-full of stir-fried celery, "Wenbin, try this stir-fried celery with meat. It’s really fragrant, and celery is expensive now."

Zhang Wenbin glanced at the chopstick-full of stir-fried celery in his bowl, and disdain flashed in his eyes.

Especially with Li Dongmei’s remark about it being expensive.

How expensive could it get?

Reminding him that celery is expensive, as if he’s that superficial, caring about the price of a dish?

Such a country bumpkin, without any sophistication.

Li Guangyuan added tea to his cup, "Wenbin, drink some water, it’s getting cold."

Zhang Wenbin looked at the rim of the cup but didn’t touch it.

Lin Jiayi sneered internally, these two clueless ones, he disdains your family’s dirty cups.

Sure enough, after the meal and having a bowl of meat, Zhang Wenbin, probably overwhelmed by the meat and desperately thirsty, called Li Dongmei over.

Right in front of everyone, he made Li Dongmei scrub the cup clean before he finally drank a cup of water.

After drinking that cup of water, Zhang Wenbin didn’t stay at the Li Family’s place for much longer, he rushed off to wait for the public bus that passed by the village to head to the county, and left by himself.

It was as if he feared that staying at the Li Family for even a moment longer would make him catch lice or something.

Li Dongmei naturally ran to personally see Zhang Wenbin off onto the bus.

Lin Jiayi cleared away the dishes and, seeing Old Mrs. Li’s gloomy face, could hardly keep from laughing out loud.

This is the city dweller you’ve been yearning for.

Not long after, Li Dongmei returned, humming a tune as she walked, clearly in a good mood.

Lin Jiayi wanted to relish the drama, so she quickly threw aside the dishrag and pretended to go inside to soothe the children.

In the room, Li Dongmei was eagerly asking Old Mrs. Li, "Mom, what do you think of Wenbin? He’s alright, isn’t he? Don’t mind that he didn’t talk much today, he was just being reserved. He was even worried about making a bad impression on his way here. Oh, right, here’s some money he gave to buy you some snacks, you keep it. You know, Wenbin hurt his arm a while back and it hasn’t fully recovered, so he gave me the money to buy something for him, and it’s my fault for forgetting."

Old Mrs. Li’s face was stern, looking at Li Dongmei’s joyous expression, she sighed inwardly.

After all, it was her own dear daughter, and she knew her daughter’s desire to marry a city dweller.

Of course, she also hoped her daughter could marry a city man and enjoy a better life, and even when her daughter mentioned the man was divorced, she didn’t see it as a problem.

But today, upon meeting him, Old Mrs. Li still hesitated.

"Dongmei, didn’t you say that man was only a few years older than you? Looking at him, he must be in his thirties, right? That’s not just a little older, plus he’s divorced. It won’t do; let’s look for someone else."

Old Mrs. Li couldn’t directly say that the man looked down on their Li Family, uncertain of how he would treat her daughter in the future.

Afraid that speaking the truth would hurt her daughter’s self-esteem.

Being born into such a family wasn’t her daughter’s fault.

"I’ve heard that these divorced folks could have some issues. If he was that good, why would his first wife divorce him? I’ve thought it over, you’re still young. Let’s wait a few more years, maybe you’ll find someone even better."

Upon hearing her mother’s disapproval, Li Dongmei became obstinate.

"Mom, what are you saying? What’s wrong with being divorced? Wenbin’s divorce was because that woman was no good. I’ve asked around; his ex-wife didn’t work, was lazy and gluttonous, and to top it off, wasn’t filial to her in-laws. That’s not all, she was also a spendthrift who had no clue how to manage a household. The worst part is she was unfaithful. Even their child might not be his, so when they divorced, Wenbin didn’t even take the child. Divorcing such a woman was letting her off easy."
