Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife

Chapter 292: Chapter 292: Must Teach Her a Lesson

"Huh," someone in the crowd jeered, "Who’s asking you to cry for them? Not to mention the Qin Family, even the people of Qin Family Village are good to Sister Chuxia. Sister Chuxia wouldn’t suffer if she left a maternal family like yours."

"That’s right, the only ones she suffers from are her so-called relatives like you. If I were Sister Chuxia, I would cut ties with relatives like you."

"Can’t you see? They don’t want to sever ties with Chuxia; they still want to cling to her and suck her blood."

"I agree, how thick-faced can they be? The elder daughter does such ungrateful things, expecting the younger daughter to help pay for it. Their hearts lean entirely to one side, yet they act so righteous. Even as parents, there’s no logic in that."

"Sister Chuxia, don’t be sad. If they don’t care for you, the people of Qin Family Village will. We are all your kin."

Lin Chuxia deliberately confronted the Lin Family at the entrance of Xiyang Food Factory, wanting everyone to see the Lin Family’s true colors.

She was doing business outside and couldn’t ignore her own reputation.

Easily cutting ties with her family would result in even more gossip, and the envious would even fabricate the nastiest rumors about you.

Even if she wanted to distance herself from her family, she needed to clear her own name.

She just didn’t expect to end up with such an outcome.

Tears welled up in her eyes involuntarily, "Thank you, everyone, thank you so much."

She bowed deeply to the villagers present, and at that moment, she seemed to have found the meaning to live her life all over again.

When she got home, Qin Han, Qin Liang, Qin Wu, and even Qin Jiang were all there.

Upon seeing her return, Qin Han approached her immediately.

"Sister-in-law, how did it go? Is everything resolved?"

Mr. and Mrs. Qin also looked on worriedly.

Lin Chuxia smiled slightly, "It’s resolved; they’ve all gone back."

Qin Han clenched his fist, "The family should have intervened, just to let them know that you have support."

If it was someone else, his brothers would have already gone out.

But those were Lin Chuxia’s maternal family members, and since Lin Chuxia had spoken, they couldn’t deal with it too forcefully.

Lin Chuxia appreciated their kindness, but involving the Qin Family would not be good for the Qin Family’s reputation, regardless of the truth.

Even if she severed ties with the Lin Family, the outside world would easily distort the facts, turning the situation into one where the powerful bully the weak, looking down on poor relatives.

This was her matter with her maternal family, and her intervention would achieve the result she desired.

Once the other Qin Family members left, Mrs. Qin, with a worried face, pulled her aside, "Why don’t we call Yangyang and have him come back for a while? Didn’t they say his workplace gives him leave? We can take the leave now."

Her daughter-in-law’s parents were utterly partial to one side, but they couldn’t say much. Yangyang, as Chuxia’s husband, would be easier to approach for some matters.

Even if he does nothing, having Yangyang at home would provide support to his wife.

Lin Chuxia gently patted her hand, "Mom, it’s really okay now. Qin Yang is busy with work; let’s not bother him with this."

Mrs. Qin was torn between looking out for her daughter-in-law and contemplating carefully for her son.

It was still best to ensure the eldest son and daughter-in-law look after things more closely.

Lin Chuxia knew that after she had spoken, Mr. Lin and Mother Lin left because their son weighed more heavily in their hearts compared to the elder daughter.

She had already promised to support Lin Jiadong in his education; at this time, Mr. Lin and Mother Lin would definitely not give up on their son’s studies because of Lin Jiayi’s issue.

She originally thought that after Lin Jiayi left their home, Mr. Lin and Mother Lin would find other ways to help her, at least borrowing some money to resolve Li Guangyuan’s situation.

What she didn’t expect was that not only did Mr. Lin and Mother Lin not help Lin Jiayi borrow money, but they also sent her back to Li Family in Xiaoqingshan Village for health reasons.

Lin Jiayi was so angry that the very next day, she secretly returned to the Lin Family home, and while Mr. Lin and Mother Lin were not around, she took all the money from the house.

Even so, it was far from enough to compensate those people’s medical expenses and get Li Guangyuan out of the police station.

There were simply too many people involved.

Old Mrs. Li didn’t plan on getting involved at first; knowing full well that her daughter had a share in the wrongdoing, she wanted to push the responsibility onto Lin Jiayi.

Would this have happened if she hadn’t been busy with selling ready-to-eat food?

Yet as more time passed with her son being detained, and seeing no solution from Lin Jiayi, Old Mrs. Li finally took out her savings as the Lin Family was already arranging to sell their grains.

Even then, it wasn’t enough, and in the end, they had no choice but to sell the family’s only valuable bicycle.

Lin Chuxia heard about this three days later, as Su Wensong had people keeping an eye on the situation at the Li Family’s.

Even though Xiyang Food Factory didn’t report to the police, under Lin Chuxia’s suggestion, Su Wensong still had someone perform a little trick.

They instigated those who had been wronged and couldn’t get justice to use legal means to protect their rights.

If Lin Jiayi wanted to drag them down, she had to be taught a lesson.

Meanwhile, in Xiaoqingshan Village, Li Guangyuan had just returned from the police station, entering the house with a grim face, not uttering a word.

Thinking that he must have been wronged in the police station, Lin Jiayi hastily approached to fuss over him.

Li Guangyuan didn’t even want to glance at her hypocritical demeanor.

Was he wronged inside? Just being taken to the police station was the greatest wrong against him.

Li Guangyuan never thought he would end up at a police station in his life; he, who always behaved properly and never did any wrong, actually had to step foot in a police station?

"Are you satisfied now? From now on, your husband is someone who’s been in a police station, and your child will be the son of a criminal once born," he said.

Lin Jiayi was frightened by his cold words, and tears nearly came down.

"I had no idea things would turn out this way. It’s all Li Hongmei’s fault. If she hadn’t taken so much meat and let the meat spoil day after day, would any of this have happened? She didn’t pay a cent and caused such a mess, and she was the first to run away when trouble arose."

Once Li Hongmei was mentioned, Mrs. Li became unhappy.

"What are you saying? If it weren’t for your sister from your maternal family dragging her feet and not handling the situation, would Guang Yuan have ended up at the police station? In my opinion, you are a bad omen, really should not have married you into our family, no wonder the Qin Family didn’t want you."

Mrs. Li became more and more convinced that the switch was not as the matchmaker had claimed; it must have been because the Qin Family didn’t think highly of Lin Jiayi that they exchanged her with Lin Chuxia, who was originally intended to be their bride.

After all, Lin Jiayi would not have married into their family if it wasn’t for wanting to leave the decent Qin Household.

Lin Jiayi was so furious that her chest heaved up and down; nowadays, she hated the mention of the bride swap more than anything.

She didn’t understand, how did the once prosperous Li Family become like this?

With Li Hongmei’s character, how could she have married into the city in the former life? Who in the city would want her?

And Li Guangyuan, always acting like a shrinking turtle in the face of problems, leaving her, a woman, to stand up for everything.

When things went well, all was good and Li Guangyuan was capable.

But when things didn’t go well, it was all her fault alone.
