Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife-Chapter 342: Respect, Then Go With the Flow

Chun Cao didn’t even need to say these words. Back when the incident with Xiyang Food Factory happened, Qin Jianjun was arrested by the police and taken to the station, and Chun Cao never uttered a word of complaint.

It was precisely because Lin Chuxia knew this that she made arrangements for Qin Jianjun’s education.

When it was time to call Qin Jianjun back, Chun Cao was both packing his bags and repeatedly giving him instructions.

"When you’re in the city, you must listen to your Aunt, whatever your Aunt tells you to do, whether it’s to go east or west, you should do it. Whatever your Aunt says, it’s all for your own good."

Qin Jianjun felt that his mom had a sort of blind adoration. Although he also thought his Aunt was very good, upon hearing his mom say this, he really wanted to ask, if his Aunt gave him a knife and told him to stab someone, would he have to do it too?

But then he thought it was better not to ask.

Qin Jianjun felt that if his Aunt really handed him a knife to stab someone, he might hesitate, but his mom would probably grab his wrist and force him to do it.

"Mom, I know, you’ve said this many times. Actually, the idea to study law was suggested by both me and my Aunt, and I wanted to study it..."

Before Qin Jianjun could finish speaking, he received a slap on the back of his head.

"What kind of nonsense are you talking? Without your Aunt, could you have even decided to study? That’s the university you’re going to. Once you graduate, you’ll be a university student. Do you realize how hard your Aunt worked to find that school for you? Don’t be ungrateful."

"Mom, how could I be ungrateful? I’ll definitely study hard, and once I’ve learned, I’ll also help out my Aunt," he said.

He wanted to study law specifically because he didn’t want to see his Aunt suffer or be restricted any longer.

He always felt that his Aunt was very capable. He wanted to work with his Aunt and knew that he couldn’t just focus on the present.

Chun Cao was very pleased with her son’s attitude, "It’s good you think this way. Work hard following your Aunt, and you definitely won’t come out at a loss."

Saying this, she glanced around and lowered her voice, "Be somewhat perceptive, and don’t act like your sister, wasting a good future."

Speaking of her daughter, Chun Cao sighed quietly to herself, feeling it was a momentary confusion that ruined her whole life.

Qin Jianjun had never thought highly of the things his sister did, "I know, Mom. I’m not thinking about finding a partner now. That sort of thing won’t happen to me."

Although her son’s agreement was to her liking, something about it didn’t sound quite right to her ears. She still harbored the desire to hold her grandchildren soon.

Qin Yang and the others took the bus back to An City. Since they had an extra person, as well as luggage and a dog, Hou Xiaobao drove them in his 121 for the trip.

Now that Lin Chuxia had gone to the city, she felt the road was long and inconvenient, and thought about how nice it would be to buy a car to drive.

Upon reaching the city, she handed over Qin Jianjun directly to Jia Liang for arrangements.

Hearing that he could work during the daytime and attend school in the evening, not only did Qin Jianjun not feel that it was tough, but he also felt that his Aunt was looking out for him.

Having a job meant having an income. He had been following Uncle at the food factory for over half a year and his income was quite good.

It would really be unaccustomed for him if his income were suddenly cut off.

Once back at the residential compound, as Lin Chuxia was getting out of the car with Yuan Bao, their neighbor Hu Xingwei spotted them.

"Aunt Lin, is this your dog? It looks really alert and lively."

Lin Chuxia nodded, "Yes, it is."

Although Yuan Bao was just an ordinary Shiba Inu, as it had been drinking Spiritual Spring water since it was a puppy, along with never lacking food and drink, it had grown a bit larger than average dogs, its fur shone brighter, and it overall appeared livelier.

Hu Xingwei approached enthusiastically, wanting to pet it but hesitated, looking at Lin Chuxia, "Can I pet it? Does it have a name?"

"It’s called Yuan Bao."

Lin Chuxia gave a command looking down, "Yuan Bao, lie down."

Yuan Bao, still curious about its surroundings, nonetheless lay down upon its owner’s command, sticking out its tongue and looking up at Lin Chuxia appealingly.

Hu Xingwei exclaimed, "Wow, it can actually understand human speech!"

Yuan Bao lazily glanced at him, the look in its eye was as if beholding a fool.

Hu Xingwei squatted down, reaching out to rub Yuan Bao’s head, greeting it, "Hello there, Yuan Bao. Your fur is so smooth and silky. Can you understand what I’m saying, Yuan Bao?"

Yuan Bao probably couldn’t stand this person’s nagging anymore and whimpered at him.

Hu Xingwei got even more excited, his eyes shining brightly, "Aunt Lin, it can understand me, it really can understand what I’m saying."

Hu Xingwei even went to hug Yuan Bao’s head, looking so fond of it that he was almost ready to give it a couple of kisses.

"I’ve always wanted to have a dog. The dog in my dreams is just like Yuan Bao, smart and sensible. It’s just that my parents won’t let me have one. They say it’s not good if the dog runs out and bites someone in the residential compound. I have to show Yuan Bao to my mom. It’s so sensible and obedient, how could it possibly bite people randomly? Even if it bites, that person probably deserved it."

Lin Chuxia: "..."

Young man, blind worship isn’t good, you know.

There were also things that Mrs. Qin had brought for them in the car.

The new corn from the family home had just been harvested, and Mrs. Qin had especially prepared some corn grits these past few days, knowing that Lin Chuxia liked drinking corn grit porridge, and told her to bring it to cook for herself.

There was also cornmeal, wheat flour, soybeans, adzuki beans – she brought everything she could from home.

She even picked a round of vegetables from the vegetable garden.

Returning home this time was like stocking up her Bun Shop with goods.

These were things you could buy with money, Lin Chuxia was not short on cash, but the sentiment from Mrs. Qin was priceless.

Lin Chuxia knew Yuan Bao wouldn’t bite people, so she went to help Qin Yang, Hou Xiaobao, and the others to move things into the house.

When she came out again after moving things, she saw Yuan Bao stuffing its stainless steel food bowl in front of Hu Xingwei repeatedly.

Hu Xingwei scratched his ears and cheeks in confusion. Upon seeing Lin Chuxia, his savior, he asked for help, "Aunt Lin, is it hungry? Can I go home and get it some steamed buns to eat?"

Lin Chuxia’s inward eye-roll almost flipped heavenward.

Yuan Bao wasn’t hungry. It was just showing off its food bowl again.

No choice, for her own furry child, she could only spoil it.

Lin Chuxia explained the origin of the food bowl to Hu Xingwei, simply saying that Yuan Bao had helped the police comrades and it was a reward from the police station.

Even so, Hu Xingwei still couldn’t stop praising Yuan Bao.

For them, a police dog was too remote a concept, so having a dog that could compare with a police dog was already quite something.

"Hu Xingwei!"

Hu Yaping saw her brother being affectionate with the dog as soon as she came out and spoke in a stern voice.

"Who let you touch someone else’s dog? Did you just ignore what mom said? You can get rabies if a dog bites you."

"Sister, Yuan Bao doesn’t bite people," Hu Xingwei grinned with a mouthful of teeth.

Hu Yaping directly stepped forward to pull him up, retreating several steps back, with a wary expression, "What doesn’t bite? It’ll be too late to regret after you’re bitten. Whose dog is this? Why isn’t it leashed?"

Yuan Bao, encountering a stranger in an unfamiliar environment, was also on guard.

Animals like dogs are very sensitive to human emotions. It could feel the hostility from Hu Yaping. Although it didn’t move from its spot, it still whimpered softly twice.

"Yuan Bao," Lin Chuxia called out.

Yuan Bao turned its head and obediently sat beside her.

Lin Chuxia first comforted it with a touch, then addressed Hu Yaping, "This is my dog. I only brought it over today. It’s not leashed, but I will keep it in the yard."

She brought Yuan Bao here partly for companionship and partly as a deterrent.

That’s why Lin Chuxia wouldn’t leash Yuan Bao, and of course, she wouldn’t let just anyone talk about how easy-going Yuan Bao was.

That’s just how it is with furry kids – those who like them can understand them; those who don’t, you could talk all day and they still wouldn’t get it.

Respect, then let it be.
