Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 206

Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Sense of Crisis

It was quite a coincidence; after raising Li Guangyuan and enduring the tough years, Old Mrs. Li suddenly became pregnant and gave birth to Li Hongmei and Li Dongmei consecutively.

There was this belief among the older generation that these two children were brought forth by Li Guangyuan, so Old Mrs. Li never gave up on him, keeping him by her side all along.

Besides, she had given birth to two daughters in a row. Had there been even one son, it’s likely that Li Guangyuan wouldn’t carry the Li surname any longer.

These were things she later learned by chance. Old Mrs. Li had always valued the two daughters even more than the son, which was quite unreasonable in the rural setting.

Lin Chuxia didn’t linger, cutting through the crowd and heading straight for the Bun Shop.

Lin Jiayi didn’t even notice Lin Chuxia behind the crowd. She was angrily pointing at the woman next to Li Guangyuan, questioning their relationship.

She had specially made stewed meat to deliver to him today, only to find their own stand deserted, while Li Guangyuan was busy helping that woman.

She knew that woman—a widow not yet thirty, raising a child on her own by selling vegetables for a living.

Last year, when they were selling vegetables, she had seen men courting that woman, and even heard that one man was caught by his wife knocking on the woman’s door in the middle of the night and got a thrashing.

At that time, she had mocked the man for his lack of ambition. The young widow, though not old, had dark, sun-and-wind-battered skin from selling vegetables every day.

To think that such a person could entice him away, how desperate was he?

And what about now?

Today, she saw her own man chatting intimately with that woman, even helping her sell things.

In the face of Lin Jiayi, Tian Cuixia was calm and composed, indifferent even to the pointing and whispering of the onlookers, still warmly inviting them to buy vegetables.

The more Tian Cuixia behaved like that, the more infuriated Lin Jiayi became, stomping her feet in anger.

Surrounded by so many people, Li Guangyuan felt somewhat embarrassed and pulled Lin Jiayi aside to a quiet corner.

Lin Jiayi was truly furious and shook off his hand.

"Why are you pulling me? You aren’t ashamed of what you’re doing, yet you’re embarrassed by what I’m saying? Li Guangyuan, do you think you’ve been fair to me?"

Li Guangyuan glanced away and comforted Lin Jiayi, "I’ve already told you, there’s nothing between her and me. You’re making such a scene; it’s as if we really do have something. Jiayi, don’t you know me? I was just lending her a hand because I felt sorry for her, seeing her with a child."

"You say you feel sorry for her because she has a child, and you’re lending her a hand. Lend it long enough, and what’s next? Going to help her raise the child?"

Lin Jiayi felt a sense of crisis welling up inside her.

Ever since Li Hongmei realized what the Ma family was like, she frequently returned to complain to the old lady.

She had thought that marrying the sister-in-law off far away would bring peace, but who knew that their mother-in-law was so biased towards her daughter, stirring up chaos at home just to side with her daughter.

She even considered asking Li Guangyuan to divorce her.

She was also adored at her own home, but no matter how much doting she received, it was no match for her brother Lin Jiadong.

She had thought that if one day Old Mrs. Li found out what the Ma family was like, at most she would burst into angry rants and be done with it.
