Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife

Chapter 288: Chapter 288: Bad Bamboo Produces Good Shoots

They really tasted the sweetness of chicken farming.

Previously, from clearing wild mountains to building chicken coops, the second sister of Lin Family started paying them wages, forty dollars each for the couple, making it eighty dollars each month.

Later, when they started raising chickens and by last month when chickens began to be sold, they earned ten cents per chicken. With 2000 chickens, they made two hundred dollars.

When they received the money, they were so excited that their hands trembled, this was much easier than farming.

Now, there are still 4000 chickens on the mountain, and the two brothers are planning to build new houses.

They plan to build new houses at the foot of the mountain, closer to the chicken farm, also convenient for watching over it.

The brothers being neighbors to each other, they support one another.

If Fang Laosan, a family member, wants, they will give it to him; if he does not, they will build a few more rooms next to their new house to accommodate him.

Both have imagined the good days ahead over and over, what if the Lin family took over the chicken farm, wouldn’t their hopes be dashed?

In Sun Bingwen’s and Sun Bingshan’s hearts, even though Lin Chuxia trusts them, they are still outsiders, Lin Family is her maternal family.

So, upon hearing the message, the brothers put down what they were doing and rushed back without waiting for their wives.

Entering the house, Sun Bingwen wiped his sweat with his clothes and said eagerly.

"Dad, what are the Lin Family here for?"

Mr. Lin did not hide it and told the brothers everything about Lin Jiayi’s couple selling spoiled food and Mother Lin asking him to mediate and ask Lin Chuxia for money.

It’s not that he, the village chief, loves to gossip, he just wanted his sons to know how the Lin Family treats Lin Chuxia.

"They say both the palm and the back of the hand are made of flesh, yet Lin Family’s couple are so biased, wanting to act like parents when asking for money? They really are picking on the soft ones, I’ve always heard your sister say Chuxia was bullied at home, and today I’ve seen it myself."

Sun Bingwen and Sun Bingshan were extremely angry.

Although their family had many brothers and sisters, their father taught them to live harmoniously. Even if their sister was a girl, they doted on her immensely; they couldn’t understand Lin Family’s actions.

"Lin Family really has no shame; how can they expect the eldest daughter to mess up and the second daughter to clean up after her, no wonder Chuxia doesn’t want to deal with her family, If I had such relatives, I would sever ties completely."

"Exactly, how can these be called relatives? They more like enemies, right? What did Chuxia owe them in her past life to be bullied like this?"

The brothers then turned to the village chief, "Dad, are you really going?"

It seemed like their father was indeed planning to go.

The village chief slapped his thigh, "Yes, why not? It’s a good chance to see what Xiyang Food Factory looks like. Our family has been supplying chickens to Xiyang Food Factory for so long, and I’ve never been there. After visiting the food factory, I’ll go to the Bun Shop to eat some meat buns and see my manager daughter."

These days, his life is getting better day by day, with every son and daughter doing well.

He just wishes for his youngest to marry a wife too, then he really wouldn’t have much to worry about.

"Chuxia can’t rely on her maternal family, in the future, if anything happens at her in-laws, you brothers are Chuxia’s maternal family, no matter if you share the same surname or not."

Sun Bingwen and Sun Bingshan immediately affirmed.

"Dad, don’t worry, Chuxia is like Lanlan to us in our hearts, she is our sister too."

"Yes, I heard that Qin Family only has two brothers, we three brothers will never let our sister Chuxia suffer."

The village chief nodded in satisfaction, "The Lin Family is indeed lacking. Chuxia is like a good shoot from a bad bamboo in that family."

...

The village chief went to the county town on a tricycle delivered by his son, which Xiyang Food Factory had bought for the two brothers.

He intended to visit his daughter who was the store manager, but he first met the son-in-law who was the factory manager.

Su Wensong rarely paid attention to his two brothers-in-law delivering goods; frankly speaking, the Sun brothers never acted like they had any influence in the food factory.

Before Sun Lanlan and Su Wensong were engaged, the brothers had been raising chickens for the food factory, with Su Wensong as their manager.

Now that his sister was married to Su Wensong, they had to show respect to their brother-in-law, the factory manager, in private and especially at the factory.

The village chief then learned the specifics of the situation from Su Wensong.

He found out that the Lin Family not only had Lin Chuxia help her elder sister repay debts but also sent those people to the food factory, tarnishing the factory’s reputation.

If it weren’t for maintaining the dignity of being an in-law, the village chief would have erupted in curse.

Just having the younger daughter help her older sister pay off debts shows favoritism, but hurting the younger daughter’s business for the sake of the older one is foolish and harmful.

"You don’t have to worry too much about it from Mr. Lin’s side, after all, they are her relatives. Some things she can’t say directly, just handle it. It’s okay to sever ties with such relatives; there’s nothing to hold onto."

"I understand, dad. I’ve already planned how to deal with this, and they won’t be able to just lightly sidestep it."

Regarding Lin Chuxia, what he did was actually at the behest of Mr. Lin.

"That’s good, but knowing the Lin Family, they’ll definitely cause more trouble at the factory. When that happens, protect Chuxia more; this is her husband’s village. Don’t let these incidents harm her reputation here. Say what she can’t say, do what she can’t do."

The village chief became increasingly worried and finally gestured with a wave of his hand.

"No, when the time comes, call Lanlan over. I know Lanlan’s character, like me, bold and outspoken, she won’t let Chuxia be wronged."

Su Wensong smiled helplessly, "Dad, Lanlan is pregnant."

In such a situation, there could be dangers, and besides, is he really not that trustworthy?

The village chief then realized that he was going to be a grandfather.

Chuxia’s problems are important, but his precious grandchild is also important.

"Then let Bingnan come, and you brothers protect Chuxia together."

"Dad, I will."

These things didn’t need to be said by his father-in-law. Moreover, in Qin Family Village, Mr. Lin would never be wronged, the people of Qin Family Village, including the villagers, would all protect Mr. Lin.

Lin Chuxia met the village chief in the afternoon at the Bun Shop by the train station.

"Uncle Sun, you should have told me in advance you were coming, I could have joined you for a drink at noon."

The village chief pointed to where the cold dishes were placed, "You’re so busy, you don’t need to keep me company. The Bun Shop has so many tasty things, I had a bit too much to drink today."

Sun Lanlan also spoke up, "It was good timing, Grandpa He and Grandpa Shi came over at noon. If I hadn’t stopped them, they could have finished two bottles of strong spirits."

Lin Chuxia knew both Old Master He and Grandpa Shi very well, each of them having a keen appetite for alcohol and dishes.
