Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife

Chapter 695: Chapter 695: Crashing the Party

Ever since Jia Liang’s father passed away, they cut off ties with the Jia family, and even their maternal relatives were afraid they would become attached to the orphaned mother and son.

Old Mrs. Jia was strong-willed and noticed her brothers’ attitudes, and they never took advantage of anyone.

Later, Jia Liang grew up and went astray, and those relatives completely severed ties with them.

For all these years, it’s been just mother and son relying on each other, even during festive occasions; sometimes Jia Liang’s little friends would come to their home for New Year’s greetings.

But whenever she thought of what those people were up to with Jia Liang, how could the old lady be happy? They were just adding to her troubles.

She never imagined there would be such a day when Jia Liang not only got on the right track but also became successful.

He married such a beautiful and sensible wife, and the daughter-in-law’s family genuinely treated the mother and son well.

Upon hearing Qin Juan say that her in-law asked her to bring the old lady over, Mrs. Jia was polite on the outside but immensely happy on the inside.

Lunch was prepared by Jia Liang, with Zhang Guilan and Lin Chuxia helping.

Mrs. Qin felt it was inappropriate; how could they let the son-in-law cook when visiting the wife’s family?

But Old Mrs. Jia was happily stopping Mrs. Qin, insisting her son take charge of cooking.

This was an opportunity for him to show off in front of his mother-in-law, and she couldn’t let her son miss it.

Otherwise, with her son’s bear-like demeanor, what right did he have to marry such a good girl?

Don’t mind that Qin Juan was in her second marriage; it’s that Zhang family who lacked fortune.

Look at Qin Juan’s looks, temper, and ability; and her family’s prowess — for their Jia Liang to marry Qin Juan was like burning high incense on the Jia family’s grave.

The meal was lively and bustling, thanks to the large living room.

As soon as lunch was finished, more people arrived outside.

These days, people visiting for New Year’s greetings were endless, though most from the village had already come on the first day of the New Year.

A glance showed these were indeed not village folk, led by Sun Bingnan with Eldest Son Sun, Sun Bingwen, and Second Brother Sun, Sun Bingshan, following behind.

These three brothers, especially Sun Bingnan at the front, were full of swagger, wearing a black long coat and walking with great style.

Sun Bingwen and Sun Bingshan weren’t bad either, following Sun Bingnan, albeit a bit reserved. Both were dressed in new clothes, walking confidently, faces beaming with smiles, looking entirely different from the honest and hardworking Elder and Second Brother of the Sun Family whom Lin Chuxia had previously known, who cultivated the fields in the village.

Confidence is never something given by others.

Economic foundations determine the superstructure.

Only when one has skills and sufficient capital can they confidently face any person and event.

The three brothers used New Year’s greetings as an excuse to visit, first greeting elders like Mr. Qin, Mrs. Qin, Mrs. Zhuang, and Old Mrs. Jia.

When it came to peers, things were more casual.

Sun Bingnan, Qin Han, and Jia Liang were old acquaintances, making the atmosphere relaxed and lively.

Su Wensong and Sun Lanlan came over with their child in no time.

Fortunately, Qin Han’s newly built house had a sufficiently large living room; even then, it seemed a bit overcrowded.

With so many people today, Little Qi Qi was very excited, although at this moment, she was getting a bit sleepy.

Zhuang Jingshu took the child to her room to coax her to sleep.

Mrs. Qin invited Old Mrs. Jia to the front yard to chat.

These young ones were chirping away; they couldn’t understand nor contribute to the conversation, so staying here would just make the young ones uncomfortable.

Old Mrs. Jia was eager for it, and the two old ladies almost held hands on their way to the front yard.

Mr. Qin took the children to the yard to set off firecrackers.

Little Zhuangzhuang became the undisputed leader among the children.

Although Sister Ningning was the oldest among the kids, she was a girl, and he was a boy, so naturally, he should take care of the girls and younger siblings.

Perhaps it was prearranged, Wang Tianyu and Sister Wang Tianxue also came over, bringing Little Longlong along.

The arrival of the sisters subtly shifted the atmosphere.

If we talk about the major issue Xiyang faces recently, it would undoubtedly be the series of chain reactions brought about by the heavy snow at the start of winter.

Daqing Mountain Village’s chicken farm suffered a loss of chicks, which subsequently affected Xiyang Food Factory’s supply of meat chickens for the Spring Festival.

Fortunately, Xiyang Food Factory has several suppliers, so after timely coordination in various aspects, there was absolutely no impact on the factory’s production during the Spring Festival.

Moreover, a hatchery center has been established in Daqing Mountain Village, so from now on, they won’t have to worry about similar occurrences.

“Speaking of which, my brother and I came today for something important to report to Mr. Lin,” Sun Bingwen stood up as he spoke. Under everyone’s gaze, he felt a bit nervous, yet he looked firmly at Lin Chuxia, “If it weren’t for this matter, my brother and I wouldn’t have dared to come and greet Mr. Lin for the New Year. As of yesterday, the first batch of eggs incubated at our hatchery center has all successfully hatched, with an incubation success rate of 85% and a survival rate close to 80%. I know these numbers are not high, but my brother and I will summarize our experiences, learn from our mistakes, and are confident in gradually improving the incubation success rate.”

“Great,” Sun Bingwen’s words fell, and Sun Bingnan was the first to cheer and clap.

It startled Sun Bingwen, who had practiced his words at home for half a day before finally saying them, and now he went red in the face.

Without thinking, he immediately kicked at his third brother, “Shut up.”

Sun Bingnan felt wronged, “Big brother, your speech was so high-level, if I didn’t know you were my real big brother, I’d have thought I was listening to a leader’s government report. As your younger brother, I naturally have to support you for speaking such high-level words.”

“Go shut up,” the more Sun Bingnan spoke, the redder Sun Bingwen’s face became.

Was this him supporting him? This felt more like he was crashing the scene.

Can’t he see how embarrassed he is right now?

But Sun Bingnan didn’t care about that, considering there wasn’t anyone unfamiliar present.

He even wanted Lin Chuxia to weigh in, “Mr. Lin, you tell us whether I’m right? You’ve known my big brother for years; you know how he is, right?”

Lin Chuxia couldn’t stop laughing, but she managed to collect herself and solemnly affirmed Sun Bingwen.

“Third brother is right; big brother, you’re truly gaining more skills. Not just in speaking, but I trust you and second brother handling the chicken farm in Daqing Mountain Village.”

As she spoke, she gave Sun Bingwen a thumbs up.

Sun Bingwen chuckled foolishly, “This… this matter isn’t something we did alone. I have to say, for the hatchery center to be built, Assistant Wang’s contributions were the greatest. Second brother and I were just helping out on the side. How the building was constructed, where the equipment came from, where the technology was learned correctly, even several technicians at our hatchery center were recruited by Assistant Wang. We really didn’t do much.”

Wang Tianyu couldn’t stay seated upon hearing this.
