Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife-Chapter 343: Unappreciative

Hu Yaping glanced at Lin Chuxia and still politely greeted her, then fiercely told Hu Xingwei to hurry home.

Hu Xingwei was reluctant to leave Yuan Bao, and while being dragged home by his eldest sister, he turned back to wave goodbye to Yuan Bao, "Yuan Bao, I’ll come play with you when I have time."

Yuan Bao graciously wagged his tail at him.

"Alright, you’ve shown off enough, let’s go check out our new home."

Lin Chuxia patted Yuan Bao’s head, and the dog immediately picked up his belongings and trotted into the yard with her.

From the nearby residential building Feng Dajun saw his wife’s entire face pressed against the window and spoke with dissatisfaction, "What are you doing again? Sneaking around all day, what does that look like? If you want to watch, just go outside and look openly."

Sister-in-law Feng motioned with her hand, "Come here quickly. There’s another small car at Mr. Qin’s house, a few people are moving stuff into the house, what are they up to? Carting things in cart by cart, just to show off? Mrs. Qin is also a deceitful one, always saying she’s from the countryside, but even city folk don’t have the means like they do, right?"

It was about the Qin Family again, Feng Dajun’s face soured.

"You should stop staring at others. Whatever kind of life they lead is their own business; we just need to live our own lives well."

"I just can’t stand Mrs. Qin, so young and full of lies, crafty as a sieve. You don’t know, a few days ago she even told me that she knows how to farm, could plant anything. Look at her, does she look like someone who can farm? Who from the countryside has such fair skin?"

Speaking of this, Feng Dajun had something he wanted to ask her.

"I heard from Mr. Qin that you’ve been asking to plant vegetables in their yard?"

Hearing this, Sister-in-law Feng’s nerves tensed up, cursing Lin Chuxia in her heart.

But for such a trivial matter, that woman actually went to complain to his Da Jun.

She forced a smile on her face, "I just saw their yard sitting idle, and I wanted to help her out. Since you and Mr. Qin were transferred from the same place, and she has just followed, I thought I’d visit more often and help out if I could," but she didn’t appreciate it.

Feng Dajun knew what she was thinking without her having to say it.

After all, the two had lived together for so many years.

"Do they need your help? When I said let’s live in a yard, you insisted on an apartment. Now that we live in an apartment, you’re concerned about someone else’s yard. Xu San Ni, can’t you just settle down a bit?" fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Sister-in-law Feng felt aggrieved by his words, "Am I not calm enough? Ever since I came out here with you, I have been honest and polite, smiling and welcoming others, not even daring to speak loudly. Others look down on me because I come from the countryside, but it doesn’t matter if they don’t respect me, do you also think I embarrass you? Sure, you too come from the countryside, but at least you’ve become someone, it makes sense if you look down on me now. If one day you divorce me, find a city wife..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? When have I ever looked down on you?"

Feng Dajun frowned and cut her off.

Sister-in-law Feng looked pitifully at him, "Da Jun, I know I embarrass you, but I really have your best interests at heart. I know it’s not easy for you at work. Everyone there has legitimate university degrees, and you, who got recommended through the work-study program, always have to look up to them. No matter how hard you try, they look down on you because of your background. I really feel for you, Da Jun. If there’s anyone suitable, just divorce me and remarry, maybe find someone from the city. Though a city wife might not treat you as well as I do, and might not be as well received by the Yue Family, you would at least have a city wife and would be able to hold your head high in front of others..."

"What kind of talk is that? We’ve known each other since childhood, been married for years, and now we have Jingjing. Do you think I’m that kind of person?" Feng Dajun spoke with dissatisfaction.

"Of course, I know you’re not that kind of person. I’m just upset about those people looking down on us. It’s not your fault for being born in the countryside."

Her face showed pain, and tears were nearly falling.

"Only I know how hard you work, but what’s the use of working hard? Look at Mr. Qin, he’s not much older than you, and already holds the same position as you. Look at what they’ve been up to these past few days, surely earning more than you. Why? Just because they’re city folk? And your director seems to favor Mr. Qin especially. The other day I saw them laughing and joking as they finished work. How is it that you get treated differently? They look down on you because you come from the countryside. And the women next door, they all despise me and Jingjing, despise us for being country folk who don’t know the rules..."

"Enough, let’s not talk about this," Feng Dajun didn’t want to discuss this topic, "I’ve spoken to the local elementary school a few days ago; Jingjing is nearly 9 and can’t be delayed any longer. I told the teachers to let her directly join the second grade. I will teach her the first-grade material, and she should be able to catch up."

Sister-in-law Feng wanted to say that it was just a girl; why should he bother teaching her after a hard day of work when following first-grade would be enough.

But then thinking about her daughter going to school with a bunch of first-graders, she felt it would be embarrassing and thus agreed with a nod.

"That could work, but I wonder how much the tuition is? I’ll check if we have enough at home."

"There won’t be much tuition; I’ve already paid for her. You just need to take her to buy some notebooks and pens, and the school will provide the textbooks."

"Alright, I got it."

......

Lin Chuxia had her little home neatly arranged, and before they could visit her eldest sister, Qin Juan and Ningning came over for a visit.

Seeing the two of them, Lin Chuxia warmly welcomed them into the house.

"Big sister, I was thinking of visiting with Qin Yang over the weekend, but didn’t expect you to come first."

"I and Ningning didn’t have anything today, so we just came over to take a look."

Qin Juan had come to snoop. As soon as they reached the yard, she could tell that this home was arranged very differently by her sister-in-law.

Indeed, whether it was the yard or the house, everything was arranged warm and decently.

Her second brother had married a good wife, who knew not only how to earn money but also how to live life.

She had learned from letters from home that her sister-in-law could do business, not only earning money for herself but also helping their eldest brother and the rest to make money.

It was a fortune for the Qin Family to have such a daughter-in-law, fostered over several lifetimes.

Now both her younger brothers, including their wives, were enviable figures in the village. Even their parents basked in their glory, with everyone saying how fortunate the old couple was.

Both sons were successful, and their daughter married well; daughter-in-law and son-in-law were both commendable.
