Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife-Chapter 378: Only Like You Alone

Lin Chuxia also glanced at him, her eyes calm, and said indifferently, "It seems like a husband’s infidelity got to him."

Qin Yang nodded. He had also heard it just now; his brother was involved with a widow, truly...

Recently, his older sister got divorced because her husband cheated. Now it seems his brother-in-law cheated as well.

Why is it that all the men around him are like this? Will it affect his image in his wife’s eyes?

His grip tightened unconsciously. Lin Chuxia looked over, Qin Yang let go, touched his nose and coughed lightly before saying, "Wife, don’t worry, I will absolutely not do such a thing. I only like you."

Lin Chuxia smiled, "I know."

Lin Jiayi’s breakdown not only shocked Qin Yang but also frightened Li Guangyuan and Tian Cuixia.

Both watched her intently, fearing she might suddenly jump up and do something surprising.

After who knows how long, Lin Jiayi stood up, holding her child who had cried himself to sleep, didn’t even glance at Li Guangyuan, and walked away step by step.

She looked like a soulless person.

Tian Cuixia wondered, "What is she doing?"

Li Guangyuan didn’t know either. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

"Could it be that she’s thinking of death?" Tian Cuixia pushed Li Guangyuan, "You should still check on her," she didn’t want to bear the burden of a life.

Li Guangyuan was startled, wanted to refuse, but worried that Lin Jiayi might seek death with her son, he finally said, "I’ll go have a look."

.....................

Lin Chuxia didn’t think about Lin Jiayi anymore and went straight back to the Qin Family with Qin Yang.

The youngest son and his daughter-in-law were back, Mother Lin was already preparing delicious food. Lin Chuxia brought more vegetables and meat, and soon a large table of meals was arranged.

When passing by the bun shop, Lin Chuxia had already greeted Qin Han and his wife, asking them to come back early.

Right when Qin Han and his wife arrived, it was time to eat.

Nowadays, it’s rare for the whole family to sit at one table for a meal, wine was essential.

Mr. Qin’s health had visibly improved over the years, and he occasionally enjoyed a couple of drinks when happy.

Zhang Guilan was beginning to show her pregnancy, Lin Chuxia told her she could stay home to nurture her baby safely until the child was a bit older before going back to work. However, Zhang Guilan couldn’t stay idle.

Wu’s wife was already working at months into her pregnancy, and Zhang Guilan insisted she had to do the same.

Qin Han also laughed and said it was no problem, as long as his wife was under his watch, everything she did was safe.

Both were insistent, and Lin Chuxia had no complaints. In this day and age, it’s common not to stop working until the day of delivery.

"Today your elder brother and I ran into something," Zhang Guilan suddenly spoke, everyone looked at her curiously.

"Today at noon, a young couple came into the shop, the woman was alright, but the man, after entering, did not rush to order food or drink, wandered around for quite a while, and finally picked a table to sit. When ordering, he was shouting and carrying on as if he owned millions."

Qin Han didn’t pay much heed, and gave Zhang Guilan a piece of meat, "Who knows, maybe some rich kid, relying on his father’s power, doesn’t know the enormity of the world. We’ve been running the shop for so long, what haven’t we seen? What’s there to be surprised about?"

"These two were different," Zhang Guilan glanced at Lin Chuxia, "I’ve been at the shop for so long, I’ve learned to read people. Those with real abilities tend not to show off. It’s usually the worthless braggarts who act like this. I was worried they came to make trouble and kept an eye on them. I heard that man say that the bun shop will be his soon and it will be called Feng’s Dumpling Shop."

"Did he really say that?" This unsettled Qin Han, "Why didn’t you tell me earlier?"

"Aren’t I telling you now?" Zhang Guilan was visibly upset, "What does he mean by that? Our bun shop is just fine. How did it become Feng’s Dumpling Shop? Could it be that he has connections with the Old Food Factory and is thinking about taking over our bun shop?"

Lin Chuxia’s return this time was not a secret; Qin Han and his wife both knew.

Zhang Guilan worried that Lin Chuxia refused the offer from the Old Food Factory, assuming this was their new tactic.

Lin Chuxia shook her head, "It’s not the Old Food Factory, if I’m not mistaken, there seems to be a problem with the Cotton Mill."

"Is the Cotton Mill going to sell the house to someone else? Don’t we have a contract when we rented it?"

Qin Han nowadays also gets right to the point with issues.

"If they really sell the house to someone else, what about our Bun Shop?"

Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin also looked over worriedly.

"No worries," Lin Chuxia said calmly, "It won’t be so easy for them to undermine me."

She insisted on signing the contract from the beginning just to guard against this situation.

Her established reputation is definitely not something to simply hand over to others.

"Big brother, if someone from the Cotton Mill gives you trouble, don’t be afraid. Let them act according to the contract. If they really want to abide by the contract, then just hand over the house to them."

"Hand it over to them?" Zhang Guilan widened her eyes, "Sister-in-law, they just want to take advantage of our Bun Shop’s fame, how can we just hand it over to them?"

Qin Han understands Lin Chuxia, "Don’t worry, since sister-in-law said so, she must be confident."

Qin Yang slightly raised his eyebrows, looking at the little lady.

He found that his wife’s ability to strategize everything charmingly was most alluring.

Lin Chuxia smiled, "They can’t simply take the house without our agreement. The penalty for breaking the contract is something they can’t afford; worst comes to worst, we’ll go to court."

The contract clearly stated that breaking it would cost them ten times the annual income of their property.

Their Bun Shop currently earns about thirty thousand a year, ten times that is three hundred thousand, and these two facade rooms on the market are not even worth ten thousand.

Perhaps initially, the Cotton Mill had never thought about selling off assets, or perhaps they didn’t take Lin Chuxia’s shop seriously.

This contract was also smoothly signed initially, I just don’t know if the leaders of the Cotton Mill now regret it.

With Lin Chuxia’s assurance, Qin Han gained confidence, "Alright, I understand now."

Two years ago, merely mentioning ’court’ would probably have made Qin Han’s legs go weak.

Now, he has weathered storms, whether dealing with Huang Family Nutritional Chicken Farm or Old Food Factory, or even his younger sister’s divorce recently, he had gone through court.

The court is where ordinary people like them can seek justice. Their voices are weak and can’t overrule those big leaders, but the court can advocate for them.

The meal was lively, lasting over an hour, ending only when Little Zhuangzhuang started dozing off.

The women jointly cleaned up the dishes while the three men continued chatting in the house.

After Lin Chuxia finished tidying up, Qin Yang called out to her from afar, "You head back to the room to rest, I’ll talk with dad and them for a while longer."

Qin Yang hadn’t been back in a while, it was normal for the men to have plenty to talk about, so Lin Chuxia went back to her room first.

After she finished washing up, Qin Yang and Qin Han had just come out from their mother’s room.

He casually put one hand in his pocket and pointed outside, "I’m going out with big brother to take a walk and sober up."

Qin Han, with a big hand around Qin Yang’s shoulder, laughed heartily, "It’s been so many years since we’ve walked together like this. It reminds me of our childhood."

"If big brother likes it, I’ll accompany you more often in the future."

Lin Chuxia: "..."

This unyielding bond of brotherhood was something she couldn’t comprehend.

Watching the two brothers walk out arm-in-arm, Lin Chuxia rubbed her arms, feeling like the temperature was dropping.

And the two brothers, going out to sober up, were no sooner out the courtyard gate than Qin Han was disparagingly pushed away by Qin Yang...
