Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 151

Chapter 151: Chapter 151: My Sister-in-law’s Cooking is Delicious

"People just can’t help but talk about making money – even if other families sell pork buns too, they don’t have the same flavor as Qin’s, and their businesses can’t be as good."

Li Guangyuan took a small bite of a pork bun, the taste of meat filling his mouth, and he gave up any hope.

No matter what they did, they couldn’t make pork buns like these. Maybe he was just meant to sell vegetables for the rest of his life.

Distracted, he responded to Lin Jiayi’s remarks, "Auntie does make tasty food."

Immediately, alarm bells went off for Lin Jiayi. Forsaking the pork bun, she glared at him and demanded, "When did you eat her cooking? Have you been secretly meeting her?"

Li Guangyuan looked utterly baffled, "Why would I secretly meet her? Didn’t auntie cook two dishes during the homecoming banquet?"

Hearing this, Lin Jiayi’s anxiety abated slightly, but she still scorned, "You still remember something from the homecoming banquet? Li Guangyuan, I’d advise you to get rid of any inappropriate thoughts. My sister wouldn’t spare you a glance, otherwise, she wouldn’t have called off the marriage."

Li Guangyuan knew her old issue was flaring up again, "What are you babbling about? How could I have any designs on her? You’re the one I married."

Their voices weren’t loud but had caught the attention of Zhang Guilan, who’s expression subtly shifted.

She went straight to the front counter to find Qin Han, lifting her chin slightly, "Is that the elder sister of your sister-in-law?"

The two had visited the Lin Family when the arrangements for marrying Chuxia were settled. Probably because of the broken engagement, that elder sister wasn’t present at the time, only seen briefly when leaving due to the arrival of the Li Family.

Qin Han looked over, "Indeed, it is. Is my sister-in-law at the health bureau today?"

"Mm-hmm, I heard she also has to apply for some certificate; not sure when she’ll be back."

Both understood Chuxia didn’t want the Lin Family to know about her business dealings.

Without her mentioning it, the fact that she only had one friend at home during the wedding, given the marriage swap fiasco, one could guess the attitude of Lin Chuxia’s parents towards her.

Nowadays, it’s pretty common for parents to favor one child over another when there are many children. But to play favorites to such an extent was indeed rare.

Before the marriage swap, they demanded 100 yuan as a bride price from the Qin Family. Once the second daughter was involved, the ask suddenly jumped to 300 yuan. What was the difference between that and selling their daughter?

"People are coming. I’ll have Chunhua bring them some things and hide in the back kitchen," better safe than sorry.

Qin Han felt the same way.

Seeing that Li Guangyuan had only bought 5 buns, Lin Jiayi muttered in dissatisfaction, "I’m not even full yet. I was thinking of eating two more on the way, and you only bought 5 – how is that enough?"

"You’ll have two on your way, and there will still be three left."

Li Guangyuan placated her, his heart bleeding at the thought.

At ten cents a bun, she had just devoured six while he’d only had two. Now they were buying another five, and that was more than a yuan in total – nearly enough to buy two jin (pounds) of meat.

Two jin of meat would have been enough to feed the whole family.

"Three won’t be enough – you know how much your son eats. I don’t care, buy another 5; I’m not eating dinner with your mother and them."

Even though she felt like showing those women, Lin Jiayi knew that if she brought home pork buns, those people surely wouldn’t just watch.

Especially those two shameless sisters-in-law who always found ways to take advantage of her.

And Li Guangyuan’s mother was even worse, a real shrew who’d lose all face over some petty things.

Worn down by her nagging and not wanting to lose face in public, Li Guangyuan had no choice but to cough up the money for another five buns.

Chen Chunhua took the money, packed up the buns, and handed them over, then saw the woman who had entered.
