Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 367

Chapter 367: Chapter 367: In Our Neighboring Location?

The night breeze was gentle, Jia Liang closed up the shop and made his way home in the moonlight.

Old Mrs. Jia had not gone to bed yet, still working under the light, stitching together shoe soles.

It was about to get cold, and she had only made one pair of cotton shoes for her son.

Her son was quite capable these days, running around all the time, wearing out his shoes quickly.

He was also a team leader now and couldn’t just wear old cotton shoes; those fancy leather shoes he bought didn’t seem as warm as the ones she made.

Seeing his mother doing this again, Jia Liang frowned slightly and reminded her, "Mom, don’t bother making them for me, I have plenty to wear. Working at this time of night is bad for your eyes."

Old Mrs. Jia didn’t even lift her head, "It’s fine, I’m used to this work, I could stitch them even without looking...ouch..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she raised her finger as if it was shocked by electricity, and a drop of blood had already formed at the fingertip.

"You child, always such a drama queen."

Jia Liang: "..."

Is she really blaming him for this?

"I’m going back to my room to sleep, you should go to bed early too."

If he couldn’t reason with her, he could at least avoid her.

Old Mrs. Jia spoke again, "Liangzi, what happened to your boss’s cousin? I remember you mentioning a while back that the cousin, a woman named Qin Juan, was going through a divorce with her husband, right?"

"Why do you ask about that?" Jia Liang had only mentioned it to Old Mrs. Jia briefly.

Old Mrs. Jia put down her work and leaned forward, "I saw your Boss Lin today, with her cousin. It was right next to our house. Is she divorced now?"

Jia Liang was surprised, "Next to our house? Has she moved in?"

He remembered the two rooms next to their house had been empty for a while.

"Not yet, seems like she came to look at the house. Looks like she will move in these next days. I saw that the girl looks good and has a pleasant face; what kind of family would get such a good daughter-in-law and still not be satisfied?"

Mentioning Qin Juan, the scene of her, bound hand and foot, being dragged out from under the bed, the look of utter despair, surfaced in Jia Liang’s mind.

It was a scene so shocking that even though he was used to street fights, he never hit women.

Such a weak woman, beaten black and blue, also tied up and gagged, in fear she might call out for help.

Jia Liang couldn’t imagine what Qin Juan would’ve endured if they hadn’t intervened.

He couldn’t help but share with his mother Qin Juan’s ordeal, including her husband’s affair and domestic abuse.

Listening, Old Mrs. Jia clenched her fists, "That’s just outrageous, how could they lay a hand on such a nice girl."

"The kind are taken advantage of, and the gentle are ridden roughshod. Qin Juan is too mild-mannered and weak, so her in-laws took advantage of her."

These days Qin Juan was working at the Bun Shop, and Jia Liang got to know more about her.

She was incredibly nice.

Always smiling and in good spirits when dealing with colleagues and customers.

Once, a customer waiting in line outside lost patience and lashed out at their staff; the young girl selling the buns cried from being scolded, but without a word, Qin Juan took her place and continued the sale, calming the customer while doing so.

As if she had not a hint of temper.
