Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64: Chapter 64: What Needs to be Used Must Be Said

Su Wensong felt a bit embarrassed, "When I was sent to the countryside, I had a friend who is also from An City. He later married a local girl there, and when it was time to return to the city, he really wanted to bring his countryside wife back. This delayed him for several months. You know, during the mass return of the educated youth to the cities, those who came back early could get a job arranged for them. Those who came back late could only stay at home, waiting. My friend tried to find other jobs, but it’s hard to find one these days. Now the couple at home is so poor they can hardly make ends meet."

After saying this, he hurriedly explained, fearing Lin Chuxia would be put in a difficult position, "Boss, you can rest assured, my friend is even better at work than I am. Back before he got married, he was the one who did the cooking at the youth point. His wife is also very capable..."

"Alright, bring him to me for a look tomorrow," Lin Chuxia nodded straight away.

Su Wensong didn’t expect her to agree so quickly. Lin Chuxia smiled, "We are indeed short-staffed here, so feel free to bring anyone suitable over. I trust your judgment."

A man who’d rather delay his return to the city than leave his countryside wife behind—just for that sense of responsibility, Lin Chuxia was willing to hire him.

Besides, birds of a feather flock together. Anyone who’s good friends with Su Wensong probably wouldn’t be too bad.

"Ah, alright," Su Wensong breathed a sigh of relief, revealing a smile.

Lin Chuxia returned to the Bun Shop, where Sun Lanlan and Granny Sun were preparing the buns for the afternoon sale.

The two were chatting and laughing while wrapping buns, with Sun Lanlan occasionally comparing her buns to Granny Sun’s.

Upon seeing Lin Chuxia come back, she waved her over to check out the buns she had made.

Thanks to her relentless efforts, Sun Lanlan’s buns were finally almost as good as Granny Sun’s. Also, because Lin Chuxia had a strict requirement that each bun must have 16 pleats, they really looked like blossoms.

"Not bad, you can be considered a qualified bun maker now," said Lin Chuxia.

"It’s all thanks to Granny Sun’s great teaching," after Sun Lanlan finished speaking to Lin Chuxia, she turned to Granny Sun and said, "Granny Sun, you’ve promised. Whatever dessert you like, I’ll buy it for you tomorrow. Please don’t decline it, consider it a token of gratitude for learning the craft."

Granny Sun felt it wasn’t right to accept anything from her; after all, they were working for the shop, and she hadn’t taught much.

Sun Lanlan was persistent, "If you don’t tell me, I’ll just buy whatever tomorrow, let’s settle it this way."

After saying this, she switched topics again, chatting with Granny Sun about other things.

Lin Chuxia poured herself a glass of water and drank, observing the two’s never-ending conversation. Sun Lanlan was deliberately trying to please, much more enthusiastic than before, and Lin Chuxia thought back to the banquet where she became an official apprentice.

Once the buns were steaming in the pot, and Sun Lanlan was free, Lin Chuxia called her over.

"Tell me, what are you up to, being so enthusiastic with Granny Sun? What are you plotting?"

Sun Lanlan first glanced in the direction of the kitchen to make sure they were seated far enough that no one else could hear their conversation, then lowered her head to pour some water for herself to drink, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."

"Really don’t know? Are you planning to first win over your future mother-in-law before going after her son?" There was no need to beat around the bush about their relationship.

Sun Lanlan’s face turned red with denial, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Is it really nonsense?" Lin Chuxia asked with a smile.

Honestly speaking, Sun Hao is handsome, and from that incident where Granny Sun falsely accused her, one could see he’s a good person with a proper outlook on life. It was normal for Sun Lanlan to like Sun Hao, and if the two really ended up together, Lin Chuxia would be happy for them.

"If I’m spouting nonsense, then let’s leave it. I was even going to say if you’re serious, I could help you find out more."

"Ah~"

Sun Lanlan glanced at Lin Chuxia with annoyance, and Lin Chuxia couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"Then I’ll ask Granny Sun later."
