Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife - Chapter 604: How Are You Pregnant?

Chapter 604: Chapter 604: How Are You Pregnant?

“Where’s Chuxia? Isn’t she home?”

Mother Lin glanced into the house a few times, not seeing Lin Chuxia come out, and asked.

Mrs. Qin pointed towards the backyard, “Xiaxia and the others don’t live in the front yard; they’re in the backyard. The noise from the front yard can’t be heard in the back. I’ll go call them for you; you can go inside and wait for a bit.”

Mother Lin replied directly, “No need; we’ll just go to the backyard to find her ourselves.”

Mrs. Qin was about to accompany them when she suddenly heard her little granddaughter crying inside.

She had been out for a long time, and her little granddaughter was anxious not seeing her.

Mother Lin didn’t really want Mrs. Qin to follow, so she quickly told her to go back to watch the child while they headed to the backyard to find Lin Chuxia themselves.

Lin Chuxia had already heard the sounds from outside and saw Mother Lin and Lin Jiayi through the glass. She hadn’t expected the two of them to find the Qin Family’s place and increasingly felt the situation was odd.

It wasn’t until the two reached the door to call her that she finally responded from inside.

With no outsiders, Mother Lin entered the house swearing.

“Your mom and your sister made it to your doorstep, and you didn’t even come out to greet us. If we hadn’t come over, would you have forgotten you still have a mom? I’ve seen ungrateful children, but never one as ungrateful as you…”

Mother Lin’s words stopped abruptly when she saw Lin Chuxia inside.

And beside her, Lin Jiayi had an even bigger reaction upon seeing Lin Chuxia in the house.

Her eyes were fixed on Lin Chuxia’s swollen belly, almost blurting out, “You’re pregnant? How can you be pregnant?”

Lin Chuxia smiled and retorted, “Why can’t I be pregnant? Big sis has her own son; why can’t I have my own child?”

Lin Jiayi couldn’t accept it. In her past life, Qin Yang hadn’t even touched her, and she even suspected the man had a problem.

And Lin Chuxia, after being married for so long, still had no children, further solidifying her original view.

Even when Li Guangyuan was so disappointing, and Old Mrs. Li and those two little bitches from the Li Family made things difficult for her, she always thought no matter what, she was better than Lin Chuxia.

At least she wasn’t a living widow; at least she had a son.

But now, all her persistence had become a joke.

Even more undeniably, Qin Yang in her past life did not touch her because he didn’t care for her.

Didn’t care for her, but did he care for Lin Chuxia?

She thought back to when they had just been married, Qin Yang and Lin Chuxia would still come to visit her family, and how Qin Yang would protect and care for Lin Chuxia…

Why?

Lin Chuxia watched the fire in Lin Jiayi’s eyes and continued, “Oh right, big sis gave her son to her ex, and now she’s single again. I also heard big sis isn’t mom’s biological daughter and has a rich mom now…”

“How do you know?”

At this moment, neither Mother Lin nor Lin Jiayi was in the mood to care about Lin Chuxia being pregnant.

Lin Chuxia observed their reactions and simply said, “With such a big family matter, why wouldn’t I know? Besides, big sis ran to my shop to ask for a store. It’s only right for me to be concerned about her, isn’t it?”

Lin Jiayi wanted to say something, but Mother Lin pulled her back and took over the conversation.

“It’s not like we were hiding it from you. We always thought you were in the city, and you haven’t come home for so long. Even if we wanted to tell you, we couldn’t find you. Since you already know, you should know your sister’s situation. We came this time to ask you to help your sister.”

“What situation could big sis be in? Her outfit today isn’t cheap, is it? I think she’s doing well, much better than when she was with the Li Family.”

Lin Chuxia looked up and down at Lin Jiayi, as if watching a performance.

Lin Jiayi didn’t catch on to her meaning and proudly tilted her chin.

Mother Lin continued, “Yes, better than with the Li Family. Your sister had it rough there for years, enduring a lot from the Li Family. Now she’s finally out of the pit, but I’m still worried. No matter what, your sister was raised by me. Even if she found her biological mom, I can’t bear to see her suffer. The same goes for you. If you were in her place, I’d be just as worried. I can’t stand her being bullied elsewhere…”

“Mom, you’re overthinking. I think big sis found her real mom to enjoy life. Why would she be wronged?”

Mother Lin couldn’t control her emotions anymore, seeing Lin Chuxia’s indifferent attitude, and sharply said.

“How can you talk like that? That’s the sister you grew up with. Is your heart made of stone? She’s about to leave our family, and instead of helping her, you make sarcastic remarks. I must have spoiled you too much. Let me tell you, we didn’t come today to discuss anything with you. Ever since you got married, we haven’t asked anything of you. Even if you didn’t come home for years, your father and I never blamed you. Now the family needs your help, and you will help whether you like it or not. Moreover, your sister isn’t trying to trouble you.”

Lin Jiayi chimed in, “Exactly, dear sister, I’m doing this for your own good. Look at you now, heavily pregnant. The baby will come soon. You won’t have time to manage the shop, and don’t tell me Qin’s Buns Shop belongs to Qin’s family. Those lies would’ve passed two years ago.”

Mrs. Qin, feeling even more annoyed, said, “We are your family, yet you play tricks like these. Saying the bun shop belongs to Qin’s family, you marry and immediately side with outsiders as if you’ve forgotten who your real family is. I’ve told you since you were little, your mother’s home is your root, and outsiders can’t be relied upon. When you’re wronged, it’s your maternal home that’ll back you up.”

“Mom, let’s not talk about this now,” Lin Jiayi tried to mediate. “I believe my sister has her reasons. But regardless of whether the bun shop is Qin’s or yours, I’ll offer you a fair price, ensuring you won’t lose out.”

“Your sister is doing this for your own good. You’re in the city with two bun shops, one run by a sister-in-law, the other by outsiders. If those two even schemed a little, the money reaching you would be peeled. Aren’t you just benefiting outsiders for nothing? If you want to open a bun shop, take the money your sister gives you and open one in the city instead. Why compete with your sister?”

“And don’t use Jiadong to silence us. From now on, I’ll cover Jiadong’s tuition. Even if you do nothing with the money, it’ll be enough for you for a while.”

…………

Lin Chuxia let the mother and daughter perform their duet for a good while without any reaction.

Finally, Mother Lin noticed something was wrong and looked up to ask her, “Why aren’t you saying anything? Did you hear what your sister and I said?”

“You’ve said everything there is; what else is there for me to say?”

Mother Lin was stunned and exchanged glances with Lin Jiayi.

Did she agree? It seemed easier than they thought it would be.

They had assumed that with her stubborn nature, she wouldn’t agree.
