Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife-Chapter 514: Remarkable People

Chuxia watched the two act awkwardly and guessed something, laughing and said, "Just call each other by your names, Jiadong, these are the children from my neighbor, Hu Xingwei and Hu Yaping."

With those words, Hu Xingwei and Lin Jiadong both quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

As they approached the front door of the home, Hu Xingwei said to Lin Jiadong, "When you have time, come over to my place to hang out. We live in that courtyard. Or I can come to find you. I like Aunt Lin’s Yuan Bao. By the way, how long are you staying here?"

"I’m just staying at my second sister’s place for one night; I have other things to do tomorrow."

"Is that so?" Hu Xingwei sounded distinctly disappointed. "Then is it okay if I come to find you to play in a bit?"

"Xingwei," Hu Yaping called out again as a reminder.

Hu Xingwei, with a smile, took his sister by the hand and headed home. Lin Jiadong could still hear them whispering, "Don’t think I don’t know you just want to go play with Yuan Bao. How many times have I told you, you can get rabies from a dog bite..."

"Sis, Yuan Bao is friendly with me, he would never bite..."

Chuxia didn’t pay any more attention to the siblings, opened the courtyard gate, and invited Lin Jiadong inside.

Yuan Bao had already heard the noise outside and was wagging his tail, guarding the door.

As the gate opened, he lunged towards Chuxia.

Mid-leap, noticing there was a stranger beside her, he swerved and pounced towards Lin Jiadong.

"Second sister..."

The last time Lin Jiadong was here, Qin Yang was home and had directly led him inside.

He had seen this dog before, and perhaps because his brother-in-law had such a formidable presence, the dog was as timid with him as it was with his sister’s husband and didn’t dare to do anything to him.

Now seeing the dog lunging towards him, Lin Jiadong immediately ducked behind Chuxia.

"Yuan Bao, this is my brother," Chuxia coolly introduced him to Yuan Bao.

Lin Jiadong clung to her shoulder, reminding her by her ear, "Sis, it’s a dog, it can’t understand human speech."

But then they saw Yuan Bao go from aggressively jumping to gently sniffing, as if memorizing the scent, and finally wagged his tail friendly at Lin Jiadong.

Lin Jiadong’s eyes widened: That was truly amazing.

"Sis, this dog of yours is too smart," he exclaimed while petting Yuan Bao.

Almost every household in the village had a dog, and the streets were full of dogs too. Lin Jiadong actually quite liked dogs himself.

"Just average, world’s third,"

Chuxia said as she carried the groceries into the kitchen, leaving behind this comment.

Lin Jiadong was amused to laughter by it.

His second sister had always been a woman of few words since childhood, but he knew that she was smart and understood everything.

His parents favored his older sister, and it had always been that way since their childhood when they all lived at home, which he didn’t think much of.

But ever since his oldest sister and second sister got married, he always felt there was something wrong with how things used to be.

His second sister was clearly so good, yet it seemed like his parents and oldest sister didn’t like her.

Maybe that’s just the fate of being the second child.

He had heard such a saying in the village, in a family with many children, the second child is the least favored.

His oldest sister was the first child of his parents, even though she was a girl, she was treasured. Being a boy himself, in a family that valued males over females, it meant that his second sister had it tough.

Lin Jiadong glanced at his busy second sister in the kitchen, thinking that when he makes something of himself in the future, he would definitely treat her well.

He would make up for all the years of neglect she faced from the family.

Qin Yang returned and was very enthusiastic to see his young brother-in-law.

With his in-laws being unreliable, he got along quite well with this young brother-in-law.

A wife’s disliked person is also disliked by him.

Conversely, the person his wife likes, he is also willing to contact.

In the evening, he devoured the lamb-filled dumplings, one after another, wolfing them down.

The school meals are terrible, and his mom at home is not good at cooking, so it had been a long time since he had such delicious food.

Lin Chuxia deliberately wrapped more, but seeing his way of eating, she didn’t dare to let him eat until he was full.

"Leave the rest for tomorrow morning, I’ll fry them for you, you can’t eat anymore. Lamb is hard to digest, and if you upset your stomach, it would be a pity to affect tomorrow’s exam."

She is someone who’s been through it and understands all too well the importance of such a national-level math competition.

He had already stood out from the county and entered the provincial competition; the next step is to advance to the capital.

Lin Jiadong was already full, just greedy for more.

Hearing his elder sister say so, he also put down his chopsticks, rubbed his belly with an embarrassed smile, "Sister makes the most delicious food."

Qin Yang was clearing the table and chimed in, "That’s why I say marrying your sister is a fortune I’ve cultivated from a past life. You need to keep an eye out when you look for a partner too."

Find someone who can cook, so you won’t always be running to his house to bother his wife.

For this big eater, his wife had wrapped dumplings all night long.

Lin Jiadong didn’t pick up on the disdain in Qin Yang’s words, and nodded seriously, full of admiration, "I’ll listen to my brother-in-law, I also want to become an impressive person like him."

Qin Yang: "..."

...............

The next day, Lin Chuxia took Lin Jiadong to the test site at City No.1 Middle School and then went to the shopping mall.

Jiang Hong had been working at the mall for a while now and was now able to sell clothes on her own.

Seeing Lin Chuxia coming, she greeted her, "Chuxia, why did you come today?"

"Just checking on you. How’s it going, are you adjusting well to the job at the mall? If it doesn’t work out and you want to switch to the restaurant, I can arrange it."

If they weren’t in such a public place, Jiang Hong really wanted to hug Lin Chuxia and kiss her fiercely.

"Chuxia, why are you so nice? Having you as a friend is a blessing I’ve cultivated from eight lifetimes. I’m doing very well here. Manager Wang and Supervisor Liu take good care of me, the other colleagues are also easy to get along with. I sold several pieces of clothing yesterday. Supervisor Liu said that if I can meet the sales target this month, I will get a commission for the extra."

"That’s good to hear."

Lin Chuxia could tell that Jiang Hong’s whole spirit seemed different now.

Jiang Hong said with pride, "Don’t worry, I was arranged by you, I won’t ever let you down."

As the two chatted, Wang Tianxue also came over.

Jiang Hong was still on duty and returned to her post.

Wang Tianxue wasn’t so polite, "What brings you, such a busy person, here today?"

"My brother has come to the city. I’m getting him a few clothes."

"I knew it, you never come without a reason. Hey, you’ve never mentioned your brother before."

Lin Chuxia rarely talked about her family, but with Qin Jianjun in the mall, and Houzi and the others often talking about things in An City, they knew a bit about Lin Chuxia’s family.

But those were all her in-laws.

Lin Chuxia didn’t keep anything secret and briefly explained about the Lin Family.

She knew the kind of person Wang Tianxue was, and Wang Tianxue could empathize with Lin Chuxia’s family situation.

She didn’t have an older sister who was favored by parents, but her parents...

Thinking about their attitude after learning she insisted on divorce against their wishes, preferring not to have this daughter than to allow her return home and tarnish the family’s reputation.

It was only her brother who would consider her feelings.
