Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 716

Chapter 716: Chapter 716: Advanced Salary Payment

Mrs. Qin sat in the back of the car holding Qi Qi, her face beaming with joy at the thought of soon meeting her daughter and her little grandson.

Lin Chuxia was driving the jeep. Just as she left the village entrance, she saw a figure squatting by the roadside from afar.

It was just 8:30, and she wondered how long this guy had been squatting there.

Pressing the brake, Lin Chuxia rolled down the window and stuck her head out to call, "Get in."

As the car slowed down, Mrs. Qin saw the man by the roadside.

Upon hearing Lin Chuxia tell him to get in, she quietly reminded, "Xiaxia, who is this person? He’s not from our village."

The implication was that they shouldn’t let strangers hitch a ride without knowing them.

Lin Chuxia smiled at her and said, "Mom, he’s an employee from my company, like Tianyu, coming with us to the city today."

Gu Peng opened the passenger seat door and got in the car.

Mrs. Qin kept observing the man from the back seat.

The employee under her youngest daughter-in-law? He didn’t quite look the part.

She had seen many of the employees under her youngest daughter-in-law, not to mention those in leadership roles, even those at Xiyang Food Factory, they were all clean and neat.

How long has it been since this man had a haircut? Though his beard looked freshly shaved.

And his clothes, was it picked up from some rubbish heap?

The youngest daughter-in-law said this man was like that Tianyu guy, where was the resemblance?

Lin Chuxia had already restarted the car and glanced at the mesh bag in Gu Peng’s hands.

"Just these things?"

He was still wearing the same outfit from yesterday, and inside the mesh bag was the item he washed yesterday.

It was bulging with something rolled up.

There was also a half-new, half-old towel.

It was all very clear.

"Yeah," Gu Peng replied lightly, "No money, I’ll buy after payday."

Such a matter-of-fact tone.

"I’ll advance you 200 yuan from your salary to buy some basic living supplies and get yourself some proper clothes."

"Okay."

After the brief exchange, Lin Chuxia didn’t pay further attention to Gu Peng, focusing solely on driving, occasionally chatting with Mrs. Qin in the backseat.

Mrs. Qin seemed a bit absent-minded, sometimes stealing glances at Gu Peng.

For some reason, she felt this man was different from the other employees of her youngest daughter-in-law.

Other employees were enthusiastic when they saw her youngest daughter-in-law, some even held admiration, and she herself had enjoyed the light of her daughter-in-law, being praised by those people.

Not that her daughter-in-law’s employees had to flatter her specifically, but since this man got on the car, he hadn’t greeted her, nor did he seem to be interacting with her daughter-in-law.

Though her daughter-in-law seemed to take particular care of him, noticing he wasn’t well dressed and offering to advance his salary.

Where did she find an employee needing such care from the boss?

She had never heard of a boss preparing clothes for the employees before they started working.

Fortunately, they would soon reach the city; she had to ask her son if he knew about this.

Upon arriving in Yan City, Lin Chuxia took Gu Peng to the small courtyard where Qin Juan had previously stayed.

After Qin Juan married Jia Liang, Wang Tianxue bought her own house and moved out, leaving the small courtyard vacant.

It was then that Qin Juan realized the cheap little courtyard rented to her by Lin Chuxia was actually bought by Lin Chuxia.

At that time, she had just divorced and didn’t want to trouble anyone in her family.

Lin Chuxia, respecting her feelings, rented the house to her at a very low price.
