Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife
Chapter 432: Everything Is Still Possible

Chapter 432: Chapter 432: Everything Is Still Possible

"Fine, I’ll stop talking. Now do you understand what rural people are like? Shall I find a matchmaker and propose to the Li Family for you?"

"I don’t want to get married yet. Even if I don’t look down on rural people, I still wouldn’t choose someone like Li Dongmei," Zhang Wenbin dropped these words and turned to enter the house.

Mrs. Zhang was so angry she was stomping her feet, "If you don’t want to get married now, then when? Can’t you see that at my age I still have to do the laundry and cook every day? Do you want to work me to death? You unfilial son..."

Lying exhausted on the bed and staring at the ceiling, Zhang Wenbin listened to his mother’s roaring and somehow couldn’t remember what his old life had been like.

Back then, his mother was always kind and gentle, constantly worrying if he was full or warm, it was meticulous care.

She would prepare a table full of delicious food for his birthday, and when he was busy with work, she would bring him a bowl of chicken soup.

She would always greet him with a cheery smile every day and would secretly slip him a couple of pieces of candy.

Even at his current age, she would still slip him candy.

Back then, he felt that his mother was the best in the world, the person who loved him the most, and he must be filial to her.

However, thinking back on it now, his mother was able to be kind and gentle every day because she didn’t have to worry about the household chores, and she would still have time to play cards with her old friends every day.

Her concern for him being full and warm was merely a greeting, and it was someone else who truly made sure he was fed and clothed warmly.

Even the good food on his birthday and the chicken soup when he was busy with work were prepared by someone else; his mother just served them to him.

Without that person, no one even remembered that a few days ago it was his birthday, not to mention a bowl of chicken soup when he was tired.

As for the candy that touched his heart...

Zhang Wenbin didn’t continue to think further.

He used to think that person was useless, with no job, no capability of making money, spending all day at home looking after the children, being supported grudgingly by the family.

She was like a useless existence in this house.

Now he realized, without that person, the house didn’t feel like a home, and the mother didn’t seem like a mother.

What his mother had referred to as trivial household matters had now become the top priority for their family and the main culprit in exhausting his mother.

Just now, for a moment, he even impulsively wanted to ask his mother whether she had ever considered exhausting Qin Juan when she used to take care of all domestic affairs while also looking after the children.

As he thought this, the door was forced open, and Mrs. Zhang stormed in, a fury.

"Wenbin, I’ve just realized something. If you find this unacceptable and that unsuitable, could it be that you’re still hung up on that wretched Qin Juan?"

The more she thought about it, the more it seemed off. She knew her son; Li Wenhong took his money and left without a word, she could’ve run off with another man—her son would definitely not still be pining for her.

If it wasn’t her he was pining for, then it must be that he was still thinking of another woman and that was why he looked down on Li Dongmei.

"Wenbin, don’t forget, who caused you to end up like this? After she’s hurt you so much, why are you still hung up on her? Do you really think she would come back?"

Seeing that his mother had guessed correctly, Zhang Wenbin didn’t intend to hide it anymore.

After all, he had made up his mind about the matter. If he and Qin Juan were to remarry, they would still have to live together.

He might as well clear things up with Mrs. Zhang.

"Mom, stop talking. Initially, you were indeed a bit too hard on Qin Juan, I don’t want to dwell on the past. What I want now is to give Ningning a complete family. Ningning is, after all, my daughter, and I know Qin Juan’s temperament, she will remarry me for Ningning’s sake."

Most importantly, Qin Juan had a job now.

"No way," Mrs. Zhang swiftly rebuffed without a second thought, "I will not agree to that woman entering our household. That’s all there is after she’s hurt us so badly? If she wants to enter the Zhang family home again, she’ll have to get your job back first."

Zhang Wenbin knew his mother’s temperament and knew it would be easy to get her to accept Qin Juan.

"Mom, you know about Qin’s Buns Shop, right? That belongs to the Qin Family, and so does the Xiyang Food Factory in our county. The Qin Family is nothing like it used to be."

Ever since he found out that Qin’s Buns Shop was owned by the Qin Family, he had been inquiring about their affairs.

But it’s a pity how tightly that woman keeps things under wraps.

If he had known the Qin Family was not the same as before, how could he have...

But there’s still time; he still has Ningning.

"As long as I remarry Qin Juan, it’s not just a job we’re talking about – why couldn’t I manage the Xiyang Food Factory? I’ve inquired; right now, outsiders are running it, and Qin Yang wouldn’t give up his job. Qin Han certainly isn’t capable..."

With his many years’ experience of working in governmental agencies, managing a small food factory would be a piece of cake.

Li Dongmei was in high spirits on her way back to the stall.

Their vegetable stall was now just selling some winter-stored vegetables; business wasn’t great, but it was just enough to get by.

She couldn’t help much here, but she liked coming to the county with her older brother to set up a stall, where she could meet city people and found their conversations interesting.

"Where did you go just now?"

Li Guangyuan’s voice came through; Li Dongmei guiltily put down the basket and nonchalantly fiddled with the vegetables on the stand.

"I didn’t do much, just walked around."

But Li Guangyuan saw right through her, saying directly, "A girl like you shouldn’t be considering marrying a divorcee. You’re not allowed to go over there anymore."

Li Dongmei’s face turned pale, "Big brother, what are you talking about? What do you mean, ’divorcee’? I don’t understand."

"Whether you understand or not, you know in your heart. I would never agree to you marrying a divorcee," he turned to look at Li Dongmei, "and neither would Mom."

Li Dongmei didn’t take it to heart; after all, even if people say so, he is from the city. If she marries a city man, why wouldn’t her mom agree?

Her older sister was right; her brother and sister-in-law just couldn’t stand to see them do well. Waiting for them to find her a match would probably end up just like her older sister.

Rather than toiling and suffering in the countryside for a lifetime, she’d rather marry a divorced city man.

Originally, Lin Chuxia was going to return to the city with Qin Yang today, but then Wang Cheng showed up.

She needed to discuss some matters with the village chief, Wang Cheng, tomorrow when he was at work. Having no choice, she could only let Qin Yang go back first; he had to go to work on Monday.

Upon hearing Lin Chuxia’s arrangements, Qin Han cheerfully draped his arm over his brother’s shoulder.

"If my sister-in-law doesn’t have time, I’ll drive you back. You should also try out the new truck I bought, the one in the yard, for the agricultural supply store. I was always borrowing the tractor from my uncle’s house, which sister-in-law thought was embarrassing, so she bought a truck for the agricultural station. You know, having your own vehicle does give you presence..."

Qin Han said this, but he was well aware of everything in his heart.

His sister-in-law just couldn’t stand to see family members asking others for help.

Qin Yang looked at his smug expression, somewhat contemptuously pushing him away, "No need for you to bother, I have my own car."

His wife bought him a motorcycle first, so in her eyes, he still comes first.

Moreover, even if he did take him, what about his wife? Isn’t her jeep far better than his truck?

Just look at him showing off.
