Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife-Chapter 495: Market Opening

Zhang Guilan didn’t want to argue about this and glanced outside, whispering, "Sister-in-law, are you driving there?"

"Huh?"

"If you are driving, can you take me to have a look? It’s such a big event in the village, it sounds very lively."

"Sister-in-law, please spare me, mom will scold me, no no, I’ll walk there..."

Lin Chuxia hurriedly waved her hands, she didn’t want to be scolded by her mother-in-law.

Zhang Guilan wanted to say something, but Little Zhuangzhuang ran in from outside.

"Little aunt, it’s so lively at the east end of the village, so many people, lots of firecrackers, they even gave us candy just now, here’s some candy for you."

A piece of hard candy was pushed into Lin Chuxia’s hands, and it was then Little Zhuangzhuang noticed Zhang Guilan beside her, his eyes widened, "Mom, why are you also outside?"

Zhang Guilan looked at Lin Chuxia with even more grievance, "You see, the whole family went to enjoy the fun, leaving me alone at home."

"Mom, isn’t sister still with you?" Little Zhuangzhuang chimed in, seeing his mother’s stern look, he quickly handed another piece of candy, "Mom, have some candy, it’s okay if you are alone at home, I’ll watch the excitement for you and tell you about it, I heard there’s also a movie tonight, I’ll tell you about it after I watch it."

Zhang Guilan, "..."

I really thank you.

In the end, Lin Chuxia didn’t take Zhang Guilan out, but she didn’t have the heart to leave her alone at home either.

It was still early, and she took a detour to the market, first stopping at their family’s agricultural supply store.

Since Zhang Guilan had given birth, Mrs. Qin needed to look after her confinement, and Qin Han was dutifully tending the store.

She told Qin Han about Zhang Guilan’s situation, the car was at home, whether to take her out to join the fun, she left it to her brother.

Indeed, hearing the car was at home, Qin Han was tempted.

"Then, sister-in-law, can you mind the shop for me? I’ll pick up your sister-in-law to check it out, she’s been pent up these days."

"Sure, you go, I’ll watch the store."

The shop was equipped with a telephone, Lin Chuxia figured Qin Yang should be back from his business trip by now, perfect timing to give her man a call.

Qin Han walked out happily, but just as he reached the doorway, he stepped back and asked in a low voice, "Mom’s not home, right?"

Lin Chuxia, wearing a smile, "No, my eldest sister-in-law and aunt came early in the morning, took mom away, she’s probably at the market watching the opera."

"Alright, I’ll head back then."

Lin Chuxia watched Qin Han leave, then returned inside.

Mr. Qin wasn’t at the store today either, vegetable wholesale market opened, villagers of Qin Family Village all put down their work to go to the market to enjoy the festivity, leaving the agricultural supply store unattended.

Lin Chuxia sat down by the telephone and dialed the number, soon a man’s deep voice came through, "Who is it?"

"Qin Yang, it’s me, did you come back from your trip?"

Hearing the man’s voice, Lin Chuxia’s eyes softened involuntarily.

"Chuxia," Qin Yang’s voice also lifted a few tones, losing the earlier nonchalance, "I came back yesterday, when are you coming back? Is everything handled over there?"

Living alone previously didn’t feel like much, but now, just the thought of being all alone at home made Qin Yang feel like something was missing.

Lin Chuxia knew Qin Yang missed her, "It might still take a while, things at Ancheng Food Factory are a bit complicated, there’s also some issues here at Qin Family Village."

She pointed the phone towards the window, the agricultural supply store was also near the village entrance, not far from the vegetable wholesale market.

At that moment, the clanging and banging sounds from the market occasionally drifted over.

A moment later, Lin Chuxia asked, "Did you hear that?"

"Uh? It’s a bit noisy, where are you calling from?"

Lin Chuxia didn’t hold back, her voice filled with excitement, "Right in my big brother’s agricultural supply store. Today our Qin Family Village has set up a vegetable wholesale market, right where the old market was. It’s so lively in the village today, mom and dad are over at the market watching the excitement. Let me tell you, these past few days have been tough on sister-in-law. Just now, big brother sneakily went home to take sister-in-law out to enjoy the hustle and bustle. Big brother is really good to sister-in-law, just not sure who’ll get scolded when mom finds out..."

Lin Chuxia was covering her mouth and giggling while she spoke.

Qin Yang was infected by her laughter, and his lips couldn’t help but curl up, "I guess both of them will get scolded."

Lin Chuxia thought about that scene, her eyes curving, "Then in the future when we encounter such situations, you have to protect me, I don’t want to get scolded."

"Don’t worry, mom wouldn’t bear to scold you."

...

After talking for a while, Lin Chuxia saw a jeep stop in front of the agricultural store and then hung up the phone.

Qin Han really did bring out Zhang Guilan, also carrying the little one.

Zhang Guilan didn’t dare to get too close to the crowded areas, just sitting inside the jeep with the window rolled down, watching the bustle from a distance.

She was really about to burst with anticipation.

"Alright, sister-in-law, let me handle it, you go ahead with what you need to do."

Qin Han knew that today Lin Chuxia was still the main character and quickly took over her role.

Lin Chuxia saw that it was indeed about time.

When they arrived at the vegetable wholesale market, from afar they could already see the village chief smiling so widely his eyes disappeared.

Mayor Guo had arrived, currently listening to the village chief and Wang Cheng report about the vegetable wholesale market.

Upon seeing Lin Chuxia, the village chief hurriedly waved at her.

Mayor Guo and Lin Chuxia were old acquaintances, "These days, seeing Mr. Lin really isn’t easy."

"Hello Mayor Guo," Lin Chuxia was the first to extend her hand.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the village chief’s reporting was about done. Seeing it was now 10:30, the opening ceremony officially began.

First, the village chief took the stage to give a speech.

Just as the village chief said a few words, a black Santana drove along from the faraway countryside road.

These days, cars were rare, Santana even more so.

Those who could ride in a Santana were usually leaders.

Lin Chuxia had already recognized that it was County Magistrate Bai’s car, and to her surprise, County Magistrate Bai had also come.

To her knowledge, the village chief hadn’t invited County Magistrate Bai.

It’s not that the village chief didn’t want to, but rather Qin Shusen himself thought being just a small village leader from Qin Family Village, he wasn’t qualified to invite someone of the county chief’s stature.

The village chief’s speech was still ongoing, but Lin Chuxia along with the accountant and security chief stood up to welcome the guests.

The car stopped, and sure enough, it was County Magistrate Bai who got out.

He first glanced at Lin Chuxia, then looked over the newly established vegetable wholesale market and directly said to Lin Chuxia, "Did you stir this up again?"

Although Qin Ming and Sun Guodong, as village cadres, could exchange a few words with the Mayor of Guo Town, when it came to the county chief, they really couldn’t converse much; they had hardly even met him before and could only accompany from behind.

Lin Chuxia responded with a genial smile, "It’s not really stirring up, it’s the trend of the times. The villagers of Qin Village have always lived off farming, and with the vegetable greenhouses, establishing a vegetable wholesale market is not only convenient for the villagers of Qin Village but also for the nearby folks."
