Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72: Chapter 72 Feigned Affection

Mother Lin’s hand paused for a moment as she glanced at Lin Chuxia before turning back to her selective sorting. "The Qin Family is well-off; they won’t miss a little bit. I won’t send things with her; this way, she won’t have trouble carrying it all by herself over the long journey."

Lin Jiayi spoke with a trace of pity, "That’s true. Speaking of which, Chuxia’s days at the Qin Family haven’t been as good as we thought. You’re still wearing old clothes. Hasn’t Qin Yang sent you any money for new clothes?"

As she said this, she even tugged at the hem of her own clothes, the implication clear as day.

"Speaking of it, since Qin Yang is not at home, I as the elder sister should take care of you. But as you see, Guang Yuan has just started his business, and all the money is tied up in that. I really want to help, but my hands are tied."

Mother Lin packed the bag and swept her gaze over her two daughters, "Why talk about all this? Everyone has their own fate; just focus on living your own life well. Who has time to worry about everyone else?"

Lin Jiayi, however, said, "Mom, Chuxia is still my sister after all. I do wish for her to have a good life. When I arranged her marriage to Qin Yang, wasn’t it for her to have better days?"

Lin Chuxia was finished with her meal and had intended to leave, but Lin Jiayi insisted on dragging her into conversation.

Hearing her insincere words, Chuxia couldn’t help but laugh.

Her elder sister truly hadn’t gained any more sense, not even after being given a second chance to relive life.

"Big sister, if you really want to take care of me, it’s easy," said Lin Chuxia all of a sudden.

"What?" Lin Jiayi instinctively lifted her head.

Lin Chuxia glanced at Li Guangyuan, who was speaking with Mr. Lin, "Mom was worried about me having trouble carrying things back by myself, right? Why not have your husband give me a ride?"

The few people weren’t far apart, and Li Guangyuan, upon hearing this, readily agreed, "Sure, I’ll take Chuxia back first, then come back..."

"No," Lin Jiayi sharply interrupted before Li Guangyuan could finish, "Lin Chuxia, have you no shame? To actually suggest getting a ride from your brother-in-law."

Lin Chuxia looked at her innocently, and Li Guangyuan also frowned slightly, "Jiayi, what’s the harm in that?"

"I said no, and that’s final. Lin Chuxia, if you want to leave, then go now. Nobody in this household is stopping you. Don’t create any drama."

She would never allow Lin Chuxia and Li Guangyuan to be alone together.

Li Guangyuan truly didn’t understand Lin Jiayi’s overreaction and wanted to apologize to Lin Chuxia. Mother Lin interrupted, "Enough, if you’re leaving then go quickly. You come back just to cause trouble; this household owes you nothing. Stay away if there’s nothing important."

"I know," Chuxia indeed didn’t care to return to this house.

Pushing her bicycle, she had just reached the gate when a person hurried in.

Aunt Sun came in carrying a basket of pears and seeing Lin Chuxia, she spoke up loudly, "Are you leaving? I’m glad I caught you in time. I heard you were visiting your parents, so I had your uncle pick a basket of pears for you to take back."

"Aunt Sun, there’s no need," those pears in the basket were large and top-quality that could be sold for a good price.

"You child, just take them if I’m giving them to you, no need to be so polite with your aunt," said Aunt Sun without a second thought. She took the net bag that was hanging on the back of the bicycle seat and started filling it with pears. She filled it to the brim and, seeing that it might not hold up, directed Lin Jiadong, "Jiadong, get your sister some string to tie it up, wouldn’t taste as good if they fall and get bruised."

"Okay," Lin Jiadong quickly found some string and secured the pears for Lin Chuxia.

Throughout this, nobody regarded the displeased expressions on Mother Lin and Lin Jiayi’s faces.

After Aunt Sun left, Lin Jiayi snorted coldly, "Aunt Sun treats you really well, one might think she’s your mother by the way she acts."
