Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife-Chapter 301: Where is the child?

The second daughter is capable and has married into a good family, that is an unchangeable fact.

Fortunately, the eldest daughter doesn’t get along well with the second daughter, but the son has a good relationship with her.

In the future, the son’s education and development will still depend on the second sister and her husband.

She can’t just because of the eldest daughter and son-in-law’s relationship cut off her son’s path. After all, the son is their hope and the foundation of the Lin Family.

"With the last incident causing such a mess, do you think she will come?"

For the first time, Mother Lin didn’t go along with the eldest daughter.

Lin Jiayi didn’t notice her mother’s attitude and sneered, "Is she too scared to come? Afraid I’ll settle the score and have her dear brother-in-law sent to the police station? Is that how she handles things? But Mom, you shouldn’t indulge her too much. No matter what, she should have come today since it’s her nephew’s full-month celebration."

While talking, she even reached out her hand in front of Mother Lin.

Mother Lin didn’t understand.

Lin Jiayi frowned slightly, "Even if she herself doesn’t come, shouldn’t there be some cash gift? Surely there isn’t no cash gift at all?"

"No."

"No?" Lin Jiayi sat up straight. "Did you actually tell her? Didn’t I ask you to have Jiadong go in person? How come Jiadong also didn’t show up today? Don’t tell me you never even told them?"

"Jiadong is in school, how could he have time to come here? I asked Jiadong to talk to Chuxia about it. Chuxia is busy because her husband might be transferred here to our city soon, and she might be moving here later, so she is busy with moving."

This is what Lin Jiadong told her; she didn’t dare to ask more about the details.

Facing the second daughter, she had the nerve to go and confront, but if the second son-in-law were to return, to be honest, she would be somewhat intimidated.

Knowing this news, she decided to stop causing trouble, although she also felt for the eldest daughter, but she couldn’t sacrifice her son for the eldest daughter.

Lin Jiayi sounded like she heard a hilarious joke, "You’re saying Qin Yang is going to be transferred to our city? Did Lin Chuxia tell you this?"

How could that be?

In his past life, Qin Yang was always traveling across the country, with the closest he ever got being the neighboring province. How could he possibly be transferred back here?

"I heard it from Jiadong, oh, why bother with them? Just live your life well. Can’t you see? Chuxia, that brat, has changed, she’s become independent and does not care about us anymore. Whenever Qin Yang returns, who knows what could happen. It’s better for them to move to the city, staying far away from us and out of sight."

Lin Jiayi didn’t catch this, "What about that child?"

The child that Qin Yang brought back in his last life, by rights, should have already been brought back by now. She remembered that in her past life, just after the first month of the second year of marriage, he had brought the child back.

Even if there was some accident this life that prevented him from bringing the child back so soon, now that he’s about to be transferred to the city, where is that child?

Surely the child couldn’t have just disappeared without reason?

Lin Jiayi knew that although Qin Yang was a cold-blooded creature who lacked affection for people close to him, he had a very strong sense of responsibility.

A living child, he couldn’t possibly abandon him.

Did he bring it back already?

Does Lin Chuxia know?

Mother Lin, confused, looked at the baby Lin Jiayi was holding in her arms, "What child? Aren’t you holding one right now?"

Lin Jiayi was eager to confirm her idea, "Qin Yang brought a child back, didn’t Qin Yang bring the child back?"

"They don’t have children yet, where would Qin Yang bring a child back from? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Mother Lin looked bewildered, feeling that her eldest daughter was becoming more and more abnormal, especially when it came to Lin Chuxia.

"In my opinion, the second child moving to the city doesn’t bother you at all. Just focus on your own life with Guang Yuan and stop fixating on her."

"Mom, what are you saying? How does it not bother me? It was I who switched places with her in the arranged marriage."

Since the switch was made, naturally she wanted that wretch to experience the suffering she went through in her past life; it wasn’t meant for her to have a better life.

When the subject of switching places came up, Mother Lin was filled with anger, lowering her voice, "Are you still bringing that up? I told you before, the Qin Family is respected far and wide, and Qin Yang is capable too. It was only you who stubbornly thought Li Guangyuan was better, insisted on switching places to the point of desperation. And now? Their lives are getting better and better, and what about you? Does your life compare to hers at all? Qin Yang has now been transferred to the city, they’ve become city folks, while you’re still rummaging for food in the soil here. What should I say to you?"

Lin Jiayi also felt unbearable hatred, yet stubbornly refused to admit it.

"It’s just the shiny appearance of a donkey’s dung egg. Wait and see, mom, sooner or later that little wretch will get what’s coming to her. They’ve been married so long and haven’t had children. Either that wretch is infertile or Qin Yang doesn’t want children with her. Maybe one day Qin Yang will bring back an illegitimate child. Just wait, mom. I have a son now, and Guang Yuan is advancing in his career. Our good days are yet to come, I’m sure of it."

Her last two sentences were particularly emphatic, it was unclear whether they were meant for Mother Lin or for herself.

"Big brother, what are you doing standing here?" Outside the room, Li Dongmei called out to the distracted Li Guangyuan.

Li Guangyuan snapped back to reality and quickly pulled her aside.

Li Dongmei grew even more puzzled, "Mom was looking for you just now, we’re running out of liquor, she asked you to buy another bottle."

"I know, you go ahead."

Li Guangyuan sent Li Dongmei off and then glanced again in the direction of the room.

So it was Lin Jiayi who originally wanted to switch places in the arranged marriage, but why?

.........

Lin Chuxia was indeed preparing to move to the city, but before going, she had to settle the matters at home.

First, there was the matter of building the house. The materials had already been purchased, today the tile workers and the carpenters started, with tile workers digging the foundation and carpenters organizing the wood.

Mr. Qin and his elder brother Qin Liang helped supervise, while Mrs. Qin and Qian Chuncao prepared meals for everyone.

Lin Chuxia also came back to help when she had free time. To her surprise, many villagers, knowing that their family was building a house, volunteered to help.

The village chief and the secretary’s wife came to cook, while others helped wherever they could.

The house, initially planned to be completed in 5 days, was finished a day ahead of schedule.

On the day of the roof beam placement, Mr. Qin took out the leftover firecrackers from the New Year celebration and set off two strings.

Lin Chuxia bought cigarettes and candy for everyone who helped, making sure each person got something. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

After the house was built, Lin Chuxia wanted to invite the tile workers and carpenters to help clean up the place, but Mr. Qin did not allow it.

A new house needed to be aired out for a while, he planned to slowly tidy it up himself after it was properly aired.

Knowing Mr. Qin couldn’t stay idle, Lin Chuxia didn’t insist further and told him to hire help for tasks he couldn’t manage.

Just as things at home were wrapping up, trouble started at the Bun Shop.
