Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 366

Chapter 366: Chapter 366: Take You to a Place

"Ah, yes, Mr. Lin, rest assured."

Jia Liang had already mastered the skills needed in the Bun Shop, and Lin Chuxia indeed felt quite relieved.

"Where’s my elder sister?"

Lin Chuxia looked around but didn’t see Qin Juan.

Jia Liang pointed to the kitchen, "She should be in the kitchen making buns. Our elder sister is very talented and skillful. Though she has only been here for a few days, her skills in making buns are already comparable to a master’s, and even faster than those of the old masters."

Lin Chuxia smiled and nodded.

Her elder sister was indeed great, gentle, efficient, and fond of cleanliness.

During the time she lived at home, she kept it inside and out spotlessly clean.

Sometimes Lin Chuxia felt sorry for her working hard all day and told her not to overdo it.

But as said, Qin Juan still had tasks to complete.

Lin Chuxia was also aware that living with them made her sister uncomfortable.

Especially since she knew there were dormitories available at the Bun Shop, she had even proposed to take Ningning and live in the dorms.

But with Ningning being so young, how could living in a dorm be convenient?

Lin Chuxia went straight to the kitchen to look for Qin Juan and indeed saw her making buns with a few waitstaff, chatting and laughing while they worked.

"Mr. Lin."

"Hello, Mr. Lin!"

The staff greeted Lin Chuxia as she approached, and Qin Juan also turned around to look.

"Sister, I need to talk to you about something. Let’s finish work a bit early today."

"Okay, I’ll come now."

Qin Juan quickly wrapped up the bun she was making, washed her hands, and took off her apron.

"I’ll just let the manager know."

Lin Chuxia nodded and waited for her at the entrance of the Bun Shop.

After a little while, Qin Juan came out, holding her little cloth bag.

"Sister-in-law, what’s the matter?"

"Sister, I’m taking you to a place."

Lin Chuxia had not ridden her bicycle, and she walked with Qin Juan while chatting.

"I heard that the Zhang family has already returned to An City. Since it’s far from Ningning’s school here, I asked Qin Yang to help get Ningning enrolled in the Second Primary School. She can start from next Monday, and it will be convenient for picking up and dropping off Ningning."

The Second Primary School was only a few hundred meters away from their Bun Shop. Once Ningning grew a bit older, she wouldn’t need to be picked up, and she could go to school on her own.

Ningning had not been attending school these days, partly because the school was far and also because the Zhang family hadn’t left town yet; they always had to be cautious.

Now that she has moved to a new school, it would not be easy for Zhang Wenbin to target Ningning again.

Qin Juan couldn’t utter the words of thanks anymore; how could she trivially express her gratitude with mere words given the thoughtfulness of her sister-in-law?

Unbeknownst to her, there was an even more touching gesture to come, as Lin Chuxia took her to a courtyard.

Qin Juan knew this place, their Bun Shop’s staff quarters were just in this alley.

Lin Chuxia directly handed her the keys, "From now on, you and Ningning will live here, and if anything arises, you must tell me and Qin Yang. It can’t be like before anymore; we are your family."

Qin Juan, holding the keys, her eyes slightly red, responded, "I understand, sister-in-law."

"Alright, sister, let’s see the house. It’s close to the staff quarters, so having you and Ningning here will also give us peace of mind knowing you’re looked after."

Qin Juan opened the courtyard gate to see two rooms, neatly arranged.

"Sister-in-law, how about the rent? You helped me rent this place; you absolutely cannot continue to cover the rent for me."

Close as siblings yet clear in accounts, despite having money, Qin Juan didn’t want to be a parasite, relying on her brother and sister-in-law for life.

The two rooms had been recently purchased by Lin Chuxia. She understood Qin Juan’s insistence and replied smiling, "Five yuan per month. I’ve paid the rent for six months; you can pay me back once you get your salary."

Qin Juan showed extra warmth towards Aunt Jia.

Aunt Jia first heard from Lin Chuxia that this was her cousin sister, then saw that this woman was tall and slim, pretty and delicate.

She looked like someone with a good temperament.

"Ah, sure, you also let Aunt know if you need anything in the future, we neighbors should look out for each other."

After bidding farewell to Aunt Jia, the two headed to the market first.

They bought fish and meat, seeing large bones, Qin Juan specifically bought some.

Lin Chuxia liked the bone soup made by Qin Juan, and also enjoyed eating noodle soup with bones, the bones could also be used for Yuan Bao to gnaw on.

But this time, it was obvious Qin Juan bought the bones purely for Yuan Bao’s food.

"Yuan Bao will definitely be happy this time."

Qin Juan also smiled, "Yuan Bao is really smart, spending every day with it, Ningning has become more cheerful."

This was the biggest change since her divorce, and also the most comforting.

Because she was a girl, Ningning was disliked by her mother-in-law from a young age.

Although Zhang Wenbin had never said anything, his behavior... being so sensitive, how could a child not feel it.

Moreover, with Zhang Wenbin’s volatile temper, either arguing with her or getting physical, Ningning grew up in that household walking on eggshells, afraid of upsetting her dad and grandparents.

Qin Juan always thought that as long as she protected her daughter well and gave her enough love, she could heal her emotional wounds.

She was wrong.

A father could be a support, but also the mountain that oppressed her.

Now that they have left that mountain, their lives have finally brightened up.

"Yuan Bao also likes kids, make sure to come visit it often after you move out."

"I will."
