Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164: Chapter 164: A Man Remains a Youth Until His Dying Day

Su Wenmao was so frustrated from being yelled at all day that he decided to lash out. "How am I not doing my job well? It’s clear they’re targeting me. If you don’t like it, too bad, I might as well quit. Not even grandpa would bother with that lousy team; getting despised all day long while acting like a grandson - whoever likes it can take my place."

"Not going to work? If you don’t go to work, what are you going to do? Do you think your dad can still provide for two freeloaders?"

Su Dazhuang looked at his son, who’s about the same age as Su Wensong and still behaving like a petulant child. Thinking about the current situation with Su Wensong, Su Dazhuang felt even more disappointed.

Su Wenmao pleaded, "Dad, think of something. Let’s take over Su Wensong’s shop. If we get that shop, not only will I have a job, but mom and Cuicui too. We wouldn’t even have to go to that crappy job, we could open our own bun shop, Su’s Dumpling Shop, and be our own bosses. Imagine how good life would be..."

His eyes were gleaming brightly with scheming anticipation for the future.

Just then, someone called out from outside the door.

"Is sister-in-law home?"

Su Wenmao’s eyes sparkled even more upon seeing the visitor, "It’s Cuicui’s second aunt. Mom, it must be Cuicui who’s come around, asking her aunt to come over to arrange our marriage. Mom, do I look okay? Should I change my clothes?"

The visitor was both the matchmaker for Su Wenmao and Cuicui, as well as Cuicui’s distant second aunt.

Mrs. Su excitedly got up to welcome her, "Second Aunt, what brings you over at this hour? Come in, come in."

"I’d rather not come inside."

Cuicui’s second aunt stood still at the entryway, glanced at Mrs. Su then at the grinning like a fool, Su Wenmao behind her, and instantly looked away.

"I came to tell you, let’s forget about the previous arrangement. Since neither family is sincere, let’s not waste each other’s time."

Having said that, Cuicui’s second aunt turned to leave.

Mrs. Su got anxious and quickly tried to stop her, "Second Aunt, what do you mean by that? Weren’t the kids happy with each other before?"

Cuicui’s second aunt scoffed, "Happy? Who was happy? Don’t talk nonsense. Cuicui just met your Su Wen at my place by chance, nothing was set in stone. Now, Cuicui is seeing Xiao Liu from the brick factory, and his family even found her a job. They’re going to work together at the brick factory..."

With a mocking look at the family, Cuicui’s second aunt left swaying her plump hips.

"Why’s she going for someone else? She’s just another flashy, cheap woman..."

Mrs. Su cursed under her breath, then turned to see Su Wenmao sliding down the door frame looking completely dazed, gazing blankly at the courtyard gate as if he had lost his mind.

"Wenmao, Wenmao, what’s wrong with you? Don’t frighten mom..."

...

On the 23rd is the candy hawthorn treats, the 24th is for house cleaning, the 25th is for grinding tofu, the 26th is to buy a piece of meat, the 27th is to slaughter the rooster, and the 28th is for kneading the dough...

On the 27th of the Twelfth Lunar Month, Mrs. Qin decided to slaughter the two roosters little Zhuangzhuang had been yearning for all year long.

Previously, Lin Chuxia had intended to get some chickens directly from the shop to bring home, but Mrs. Qin disapproved, believing that personally slaughtering chickens was necessary for the New Year atmosphere.

Having experienced the future, Lin Chuxia longed for the Spring Festival of this era.

Given what Mrs. Qin had said, Lin Chuxia didn’t insist on bringing chickens, and not only did she not bring any, but she also didn’t go to work that day, choosing instead to join the festivities at home.

Mrs. Qin boiled a large pot of hot water, while Lin Chuxia and little Zhuangzhuang worked together to catch the chickens.

Originally, the chickens were supposed to be locked up in the chicken cage overnight by Mrs. Qin, but little Zhuangzhuang, having been fixated on slaughtering the chickens, accidentally let them escape first thing in the morning.

Catching chickens during broad daylight is not an easy task.

"Zhuangzhuang, you block that side. If the chicken goes there, herd it towards your little aunt..."

While directing, she quietly approached the big rooster.
