Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife-Chapter 508: I Understand, I Really Do

Little Ningning happily counted on her little fingers, "I finished all my homework. These days I’ve been playing at Grandma Jia’s house. Grandma Jia is so nice, every day she takes me and little brother Xiao Long, sometimes telling us stories, sometimes playing with sand with us, and Aunt Xue even bought us toys. I like playing with Grandma Jia and also like playing with little brother Xiao Long."

Lin Chuxia raised her eyebrows slightly, giving Qin Juan an imperceptible glance.

She knew of Jia Liang’s affection for her elder sister, and the elder sister had also made it clear that she did not want to delay Jia Liang, maintaining a distance from Jia Family’s mother and son. Even if Aunt Jia proactively offered to help during the weekends, the elder sister seldom left Ningning with Aunt Jia.

Qin Juan explained somewhat helplessly, "It poured that day, and Ningning had a high fever in the middle of the night. Jia Liang helped me take her to the hospital. After that, Aunt Jia looked after her for a couple of days. Since then, the child refuses to go to the shop with me and keeps clamoring to visit Aunt Jia," she said, finding herself in a bind with such a little traitor.

Besides, she couldn’t just force her not to go; that would make her seem too heartless and unforgiving.

Lin Chuxia quickly nodded, "I understand, I get it all."

Qin Juan: "..."

Somehow, she felt that ’I get it all’ from her sister-in-law was less comforting than ’I don’t understand’.

Forget it, let the sister-in-law think whatever she wants.

"Let’s first go to the department store; I need to buy some things."

She had gone to the Bun Shop early in the morning. The shop had been quite busy these days; only after it calmed down a bit did she take the child with her on the bus back home, still empty-handed.

Naturally, Lin Chuxia wouldn’t refuse. She opened the car door and let Little Ningning get in.

As she opened the driver’s door, she saw Qin Juan still standing there, squinting into the distance.

Lin Chuxia followed her gaze and indeed saw a familiar figure.

Mrs. Zhang, Zhang Wenbin’s mother, was at a long-distance bus station ahead, pulling on a young woman’s arm and talking about something.

The woman looked impatient, repeatedly trying to shake off Mrs. Zhang’s hand.

And Mrs. Zhang was even more persistent. Although on her tiny bound feet, she wobbled after the woman, gripping on her arm to prevent her from leaving.

From the occasional sound that reached over, it was possible to hear Mrs. Zhang scolding non-stop.

Both of them watched that way, and Little Ningning also turned her little head curiously.

But before she could get a clear look at the people in the distance, Lin Chuxia was one step ahead in turning her little head back.

"Sit tight, we are going to Grandma’s house soon."

Sure enough, a single sentence diverted her attention and she called out happily to Qin Juan, "Mommy, Mommy, get in the car quickly! We are going to Grandma’s house. I miss Grandma and Grandpa so much, also brother Zhuangzhuang. Mommy, can little sister play with me now? I want to take little sister to play with Niuniu."

Qin Juan also withdrew her gaze and said to her daughter with a smile as she got in the car, "Little sister is very young right now; she can’t go out and play with you. You have to wait until she grows up a bit more, but little sister, when she’s very small like this, is super super cute."

"Is she as cute as Ningning when I was little? Mommy always says Ningning was extremely cute when she was little."

"Ningning is just as adorable now that she’s grown up, and the little sister is just as adorable as Ningning. Once you see her, you’ll understand and you’ll love her too."

Mother and daughter were talking as Lin Chuxia had already driven out of the bus station.

Seeing Qin Juan glance back, Lin Chuxia also thought of the recent events at Zhang Wenbin’s home and casually brought it up.

"I heard that Li Wenhong didn’t marry him. After living in An City for a while without getting a marriage certificate, she left with the Zhang Family’s money during the Spring Festival. They say he looked for her for over a month without finding her."

In Ningning’s presence, she didn’t mention names explicitly, but Qin Juan understood it all and couldn’t help but scoff with a look full of mockery.

"They deserve their plight today. The young woman I saw at the bus station just now was my former sister-in-law. She stole my job back then. The Zhang Family all have the same nature. When the Zhang Family had issues in the past, Mrs. Zhang hurried to distance herself from her daughter to prevent her from being implicated. Her daughter is an ingrate, never caring to inquire about the family after all these years. Once things calmed down, she did not even pay them a visit. Mrs. Zhang kept thinking about them, and to ingratiate herself with her daughter, she gave away my job. Only then did they slowly start to interact, and that was merely interaction. It was fine to take things from the family, but when it came to filial duty from her daughter, it was only lip service."

Now Qin Juan didn’t need to ask to know the Zhang Family must be in a bad state, based on what her sister-in-law had said.

Mrs. Zhang was deceitful, lazy, and covetous, and had never taken care of the household chores over the years. Now, with only the elderly couple and Zhang Wenbin left at home, the housework naturally fell on her, the only woman left.

Although it was from a distance, Qin Juan could see that Mrs. Zhang had gotten a lot more white hair over the year since they last met.

And with Mrs. Zhang’s penchant for meat, even if Zhang Wenbin found a new job, it might not be enough to cover the family’s expenses. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Without her as their easy target, Mrs. Zhang would naturally set her sights on her daughter.

It’s just a question of who is more formidable, Mrs. Zhang or her sister-in-law.

If it wasn’t for Ningning’s presence and the rush to get home, Qin Juan would have really liked to stay and watch the excitement.

Just thinking about it felt satisfying.

Today, although she missed out on the spectacle, others didn’t.

By now, a crowd had gathered at the bus station.

Mrs. Zhang was clinging onto her daughter and refusing to let go, "Do you have no conscience at all? I am your mother; you ungrateful wretch! You go off to live your life without concern for your mother’s wellbeing? Today, if you don’t explain yourself clearly, you won’t be going anywhere."

"Have you forgotten how you got your job? It was arranged by the family. Now your brother has lost his job, and instead of giving it to him, you sold it to someone else? How did I give birth to such an ungrateful wretch? Today, you have to clarify everything to me. If the job is gone, at least bring out the money from selling the job."

"Everyone, come and see, this is my own daughter. Look how she treats her mother. I raised her with hardship and even found her a job. Now that her days are good and she’s capable, she no longer wants a mother. Judge for yourselves, is there such a thing in this world?"

As Mrs. Zhang cried with a mix of snot and tears, the onlookers began to point and make comments about her daughter.

After all, in most people’s eyes, parents are never in the wrong.

Parents who raise their children and even find jobs for them deserve to be treated well by their children.

Mrs. Zhang’s daughter felt extremely humiliated, especially since her bus was about to leave, and she impatiently pushed Mrs. Zhang away.

"You’re the one who told me to cut ties with the family, you disowned me as your daughter. Because of having parents like you, how many years have I suffered disdain from my in-laws? That job was a compensation to me; I can deal with it as I please. How dare you still have the audacity to ask me for it? All this is what I am entitled to."
