Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 281

Chapter 281: Chapter 281 She Deserves It

"How have I raised you from childhood to now? As the elder brother, is this how you take care of your sister? I’m not dead yet and you’re already looking down on your sister. Since I can’t count on you, it’d be better to beat you to death now, so your sister doesn’t have to endure grievances from outside and still be bullied when she gets home."

The pain quickly sobered Li Guangyuan up.

He didn’t know what got into him today to dare to accuse and scold his sister.

Ever since they were kids, their parents had taught them he couldn’t hit back or talk back to his sister; any good food or toys should go to her first, otherwise, he would be beaten severely.

All these years, he had grown used to this life. He must have lost his temper today to lose all reason.

"Mother, I was wrong. I won’t dare do it next time."

Just now, he had been held down and beaten by those people outside, his body was still bruised and swollen. Now being struck by Old Mrs. Li with a stick, Li Guangyuan felt like all the flesh in his body didn’t belong to him.

He knew what his mother wanted; a wise man does not eat the loss before his eyes.

Old Mrs. Li did indeed stop and sternly lectured Li Guangyuan before letting him go back to the house.

Lin Jiayi followed behind him. Just now, when Old Mrs. Li was beating Li Guangyuan, she wanted to come forward to stop the fight, fearing the thick stick would land on her as well.

A person like Old Mrs. Li was really capable of doing it.

Besides, how could she intervene when Old Mrs. Li, as his mother, was disciplining her own son? It seemed righteous, so she held back.

Seeing Li Guangyuan’s body covered in bruises, Lin Jiayi stepped forward with concern and asked, "Are you okay? What on earth happened today?"

Given Li Guangyuan’s usual timid nature, for him to confront Li Hongmei today, there must have been something serious.

Li Guangyuan knew those people had also looked for Lin Jiayi and the others, and simply said, "This matter probably won’t blow over so easily. Today I had no money on me, so they could only beat me up. I reckon they will come to our house demanding money tomorrow."

If they don’t have money by then, it won’t just end with a beating.

Furthermore, he couldn’t afford to lose face in front of the entire village.

Lin Jiayi also realized the seriousness of the problem, "What can we do then? Your little sister is really causing harm, I’ve said it before; she’s just a home-wrecker."

Li Guangyuan didn’t want to talk about this matter anymore, "How much money do you have? If it doesn’t work out, we’ll just compensate them with the money for medical expenses. From now on, we’ll work hard, and the money can be earned back."

"Where would I have the money?" Lin Jiayi cried out, "These past few days we’ve increased our stock, all the money has been tied up in that. Right, didn’t you have the money from Hongmei’s meat sales?"

Li Guangyuan was stunned, "Who said her money was given to me?"

Lin Jiayi quickly realized, she had been played by that little wretch again.

"I’m going to settle accounts with her now. She stirred up this mess; even if it comes to paying money, she should be the one to pay."

Not to mention that the money from selling the meat was still in her hands.

Li Guangyuan stopped her, "You won’t get anything out of her if you go over there now, let’s talk about it tomorrow."

If those people really came knocking, Li Hongmei wouldn’t be able to refuse under pressure.

Going there now would just result in endless quarreling and solve nothing.

Lin Jiayi thought about it and agreed, sitting back down with anger still festering in her heart.

"When this is over, I’ll have her return to her marital home. We can’t let her continue to meddle in our household."

Li Guangyuan thought the same.

"The ready-to-eat food outside still needs some processing; otherwise, it really can’t be kept until tomorrow."

Li Guangyuan nodded, "I’ll take care of it shortly."

He really watched her rise step by step.

For a woman to reach this point, he, as a man, felt inferior.

Lin Chuxia handed him the menu, "Take a look at what to eat?"

Li Jian pushed it back to her, "Ladies first, I’m easy, you decide."

"Then I won’t stand on ceremony."

Lin Chuxia didn’t insist any further, as they were old acquaintances.

Sweet and sour ribs were ordered, there was chestnut chicken today, so that too, along with one cold and one hot dish, making four dishes in total, and finally adding a soup.

Li Jian quietly marveled as she ordered, Lin Chuxia was a woman who seemed to have everything in order at all times, perfectly executed.

It seemed like she took the lead in ordering a few dishes, but the dishes she chose were all according to his taste.

Apart from his closest family members, there were hardly a few people who knew Li Jian, a big man, liked sweet food.

He had only had a few meals with Lin Chuxia and never emphasized his own preference, but she noticed it.

Just for this reason alone, Lin Chuxia’s success was well-deserved.

"I’ve heard that you’re planning to set up a factory in the city? What, is Ancheng County too small for you?"

Li Jian poured a glass of water for Lin Chuxia.

Lin Chuxia handed the menu to the waiter and smiled, "Not setting up a factory, I opened a Bun Shop. Two Bun Shops in Ancheng County are enough."

Li Jian nodded, "Indeed, but you are really quick. By the way, my wife mentioned the issue with Huang Family Nutritional Chicken Farm the other day, has it affected the production of the food factory? Brother, I have some connections in this area, do you need help?"

Li Jian worked at the market supervision bureau, where speaking a word in this respect would always earn him some respect.
