Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife

Chapter 290: Chapter 290: Too Unscrupulous

"I’m not going, if Guang Yuan ends up in prison, it’s better not to have this child; being born with a father who has been in prison is worse than not being born at all."

Lin Jiayi’s stubborn tears were so heartbreaking for Mother Lin to watch.

"What nonsense are you talking about, it’s already been so many months, how can you just say not to give birth? Never mind, I’ll go find that foolish girl."

When Lin Jiadong came over, he saw the messy scene, and didn’t understand why everyone was fussing around in such heavy rain.

"Should I still go call Dad?"

"Yes, go bring your dad back here, and I’ll go to the village chief’s house to find their tricycle."

"Why do you need a tricycle? Is my sister going to give birth? Should she go back to the Li Family to have the baby? If not, don’t call Dad. I’ll go to Brother Sun and borrow their tricycle to take my sister back to the Li Family."

Lin Jiadong’s words had hardly ended when he received a slap on the arm, "Do what you’re told without all this nonsense."

Lin Jiadong felt he wasn’t being nonsensical—he was genuinely concerned. His elder sister was already married. Even if she stayed at her parents’ home, she couldn’t possibly give birth there.

But seeing the look in his mother’s eyes, speaking further might just earn him another beating, so he obediently went to get a raincoat and left.

Mother Lin, heart aching, couldn’t overpower her daughter’s stubbornness, "Are you sure we shouldn’t go to the clinic?"

Lin Jiayi nodded, "Mom, I can endure. Even if I give birth, I want him to be able to see his father right away."

Mother Lin had no choice but to entrust Lin Jiayi to Li Dongmei and covered herself with a plastic tarp before going out to look for a vehicle.

A bicycle definitely wouldn’t work in this weather.

It was only after seeing her mother leave the courtyard that Lin Jiayi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing her sister-in-law looking anxiously at her belly, she stretched out her arm, "What are you looking at? Help me onto the Kang to rest."

Li Dongmei immediately supported Lin Jiayi’s arm, following her like a little maid. After a few steps, she spoke anxiously, "Sister-in-law, aren’t you supposed to be giving birth?"

"Give birth to what? There’s still over half a month to go. Wouldn’t giving birth now just add chaos?"

Li Dongmei nodded— the house was already in chaos; their eldest sister had run off somewhere, their brother had been taken away by the police, their mother was still crying indoors. If her sister-in-law really went into labor now, it would indeed be troublesome.

But her sister-in-law was impressive. With just one act, she managed to get her mother-in-law running around for her.

Mother Lin didn’t say anything else when she arrived at the Sun Family’s, simply borrowing their tricycle to head to the county.

The village chief, knowing that Lin Chuxia was prepared, directly instructed the eldest at home to drive them there.

Outside the Xiyang Food Factory, Lin Chuxia was not surprised by Mother Lin’s arrival, though she thought she came quite quickly.

She expected they would only come the day after tomorrow at earliest, but this couple braved the rain to come.

It seemed that her big sister held a higher place in their hearts than she had imagined.

Mother Lin, both damp and cold from the journey, was already harboring anger. Seeing Lin Chuxia, especially her well-dressed and leisurely appearance, stirred even more anger within her.

The eldest daughter is living a life where people despise and dogs hate her, her mother-in-law and sister-in-law one more difficult to deal with than the other, so why should she get to live such a good life?

She lives a good life without any gratitude, and maliciously got her brother-in-law sent to the police station.

Doesn’t she think, if it weren’t for her eldest sister, where would her good life come from?

She strides forward, pointing at Lin Chuxia’s nose and asks, "Your brother-in-law was taken away by the police, did you do this? He is your brother-in-law, how could you let the police arrest him? You should hurry and tell the police, just say that you got it wrong, and ask them to release him immediately."

Before Lin Chuxia could speak, Su Wensong stepped forward and said, "Ma’am, as I just said, you are mistaken, we didn’t report to the police, and we didn’t ask the police to arrest him."

"You stop with that nonsense," Mother Lin didn’t listen to Su Wensong, pointing at Lin Chuxia, "Do you dare to do things without owning up to them? The village chief told me that you wanted to call the police, saying something about damaging the interests of your food factory. In your eyes, is money more important than your own mother and sister? How can you be such an ungrateful person?"

Lin Chuxia brushed Mother Lin’s hand aside, her eyes indifferent, "Mom, if you don’t believe me, why don’t you go to the police station and ask? You keep calling me ungrateful, but why don’t you see what the eldest sister and her husband have done? Now that they are in trouble, you come to me without knowing the full story, am I even your biological daughter?"

After the last sentence, a hint of guilt flashed in Mother Lin’s eyes, but she quickly covered it up.

"Why wouldn’t you be my daughter? Because you are, I asked you to help your big sister, she is your own sister, even if you don’t help, you even had your brother-in-law sent to the police station, are you even human? Don’t you know your sister is pregnant? Do you want to kill your sister? She’s now endangered her pregnancy, how can you bear letting her die along with her unborn child? Do you have any humanity left?"

At this moment the rain had already stopped, although it was late, the villagers who heard the noise still gathered around.

They thought there was another disturbance at the food factory, some even came carrying shovels and sticks.

When they heard it was Lin Chuxia’s mother, they didn’t feel it was appropriate to make other moves.

Now hearing Mother Lin’s accusations, whispers started spreading among the crowd.

"They always say Old Qin Family’s daughter-in-law is capable and sensible, but look, her own mother is scolding her, she’s not that great after all. Putting her brother-in-law in a police station while her sister is pregnant, no wonder they say rich people are cold-hearted, it’s really true."

"I say Ma San, are you deaf or blind? Or is it your brain that’s faulty? Have you forgotten what happened a few days ago? Moreover, Factory Director Su has said it was not them who reported it."

The person speaking was indeed Ma San, whose house is next to the food factory. Hearing the commotion, he didn’t even finish his dinner and hurried out.

However, his words immediately drew displeasure from the people around.

"That’s right, Ma San. I’ve heard your chickens all died of bird flu recently, do you know why other people’s chickens were unaffected, but none of yours survived?"

"Why?"

Ma San suddenly looked serious.

His home’s chickens had been wiped out by bird flu recently, and he had suspected something was amiss.

Could it be someone from Xiyang Food Factory was behind this?

The person continued speaking, "Because you’re too immoral, always enjoying others’ misfortunes, and in the end, you became the joke."

Ma San’s face darkened immediately.

"In my opinion, even if the food factory did call the police, they should have. The incident that day was so loud, it needed to be clarified, really making people think there’s something wrong with the factory’s deli products. I heard even customers came to the factory to inquire, if there was a real problem, all contracts would be stopped."

"Exactly, even my son told me, he works at the food factory, having such relatives really is bad luck."
