Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife
Chapter 415: Will It Really Work?

Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Will It Really Work?

The village chief’s wife took Liu Yahong to her daughter Qin Yufeng’s room, then turned around and went back to the kitchen to cook.

Qin Yufeng lived in the east wing room, having an independent room for a girl in their village was already quite good.

Liu Yahong stood at the doorway of the room, looking around with a face full of disdain.

The innermost part of the room had an earthen platform bed with a cabinet on top, and beside the platform bed, there was only a table and a chair.

The floor was relatively clean, but it was made of bricks.

The walls were pasted with newspapers.

When had she ever lived in such a room in her entire life?

It was dirty and worn, there might even be fleas inside.

Just thinking of that word, Liu Yahong truly did not want to stay here another minute.

Without greeting anyone, she pushed her bike and left.

Hearing the noise, the village chief’s wife quickly came out from the kitchen, only to see the back of Liu Yahong.

Seeing the door of her daughter’s room still open, she hurried over to close it.

It’s the dead of winter, leaving the door open for a while would let all the warm air out, how cold would it be when her daughter came back?

After closing the door, she went to look for her husband, wondering why this person had left again.

Turning her head, she saw the village chief coming out of the room too, with a smoking pipe in his mouth, puffing away.

"Where did Technician Liu go? It’s so late at night, should I let Zhuzi follow her to see?"

The village chief puffed at his smoking pipe twice but couldn’t draw any smoke, he looked closer and realized the pipe was already full of ash.

He tapped the bottom of his shoe, then poked his pipe into a hanging tobacco bag to load it again, indifferently saying, "Don’t worry about her, we’ll eat when it’s time to eat."

Having lived to his age, what hadn’t he experienced?

Even Lin had seen through Liu Yahong’s petty thoughts, how could he not?

Meanwhile, Liu Yahong rode her bicycle straight back to the Agricultural Bureau’s family quarters.

Her parents, Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu, were eating, they looked up when they heard the noise and saw their daughter returning. Mrs. Liu quickly put down her chopsticks.

"Why are you back so late? Didn’t you say you were going to stay in Qin Family Village? It’s not safe for a girl to be running back and forth late at night. Were the two male comrades who went with you not able to escort you home?"

Liu Yahong pouted and threw her bag onto the sofa.

"Don’t even mention it, I feel like the people in Qin Family Village look down on others. The place they arranged for me to stay was like a dog kennel, I refused to stay there."

Hearing this, Mrs. Liu came over to comfort her, "I thought something serious happened. It’s just the village, that’s how it is. You went there to endure hardship, didn’t you have that mental preparation? If you’re not used to it, I’ll bring you some bedding later. You still need to stay there. That will show our determination to serve at the grassroots level and give you more chances to interact with the technicians from the capital."

"Mom, don’t even mention it," Liu Yahong grew even more irritated, "The living arrangement they made for me was not even near Technician He, I feel like they did it on purpose."

"Not in the same place? Then you should make a request to the village. Our county’s technicians are there to serve them, why should we have to endure their disdain?"

Mrs. Liu held Liu Yahong’s hand and lowered her voice, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I know you’ve always been ambitious, and now the opportunity is right in front of you, you must seize it. Or is it that you look down on the technician from the capital?"

Thinking of Technician He, Liu Yahong blushed slightly and complained coquettishly.

"That He guy looks okay, but he’s like a piece of wood. All day long, he only talks about seeds, temperature, soil. I tried to initiate a conversation with him several times, but he barely paid any attention."

Seeing her daughter like this, Mrs. Liu immediately understood.

"He’s technical-minded, what did you expect, romance? You’ve seen those at the Agricultural Bureau who focus on technology, aren’t they all a bit dull and foolish-looking? It has its advantages though, less scheming in his mind. Besides, what we value is his status, a senior intellectual at the Agricultural Research Institute. Marrying him means becoming a professor’s wife, becoming a capital resident. Haven’t you always longed to live in a big city like the capital?"

Liu Yahong’s face turned even redder, "Mom, can this really happen?"

"Of course, why not? When he arrived, I already noticed for you; his introduction letter clearly states he’s unmarried. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Would this chance have come to you if your uncle wasn’t the director of the Agricultural Bureau? You must seize it."

Liu Yahong nodded, "Mom, I understand, there’s no need for you to say more. I was just complaining casually. I’ve decided on He Shuji. It’s just that I find that Lin distasteful, what does he have besides some foul money, after all, he’s just a bumpkin."

If they didn’t want her to stay at their house, they should’ve just said so directly instead of making excuses.

Once a daughter is married, she’s like spilled water, which house keeps a room for a married daughter?

I even heard that the idea of the vegetable greenhouses in Qin Family Village was suggested by a woman, and I thought it was someone significant, turns out she’s narrow-minded.

Mrs. Liu slightly frowned, "How did it link back to Lin? Which Lin?"

Liu Yahong didn’t want to discuss this with her mother anymore and linked arms with her, heading to the dinner table.

"It’s nothing, mom, let’s eat first, I’m starving."

...

Lin Chuxia hadn’t reached home yet when she ran into Qin Yufeng who just got off work from Xiyang Food Factory.

"Mr. Lin," Qin Yufeng specifically took a detour to find Lin Chuxia, "Factory Director Su asked me to give you a message. When you’re free tomorrow, please return a call to Xiyang Food Factory."

She didn’t specify whom the return call should be for, but Lin Chuxia knew it probably involved Qin Yang.

Qin Han also sensed the implied meaning in these words, mercilessly whispered a small complaint, "Just came back a few days and already the calls are rushing in."

Lin Chuxia pursed her lips and smiled, "Alright, got it, thank you."

He Shuji was currently staying in Qin Family, naturally aware of the household’s conditions.

He had great admiration for Lin Chuxia, and these days in Qin Family Village had deepened his understanding of this woman, which piqued his curiosity about her husband as well.

"I heard Mr. Lin’s husband is an engineering designer."

"Yes," whenever she mentioned her husband, Lin Chuxia always carried a hint of pride.

"Then we must meet sometime. Our country has a huge volume of infrastructure projects each year. To get rich is to build roads first. According to the current national development trends, they will be the mainstay architects of our country for decades."

"Technician He, you’re no different. Feeding 1.3 billion people in the country, all of you are indispensable."

Qin Han scratched the back of his head; he wasn’t good with fancy words but felt that both Technician He’s and his brothers’ work was very important.

"It’s not difficult to meet, my sister-in-law won’t be home for long, the second eldest will be back soon, then you’ll get to meet the technician."

Technician He paused briefly, then smiled again, "Mr. Lin and Mr. Qin must have a very good relationship."
