Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife-Chapter 501: A Different Kind of Beauty

When they got home, the Qin Family had just finished dinner. Zhuangzhuang, carrying a military water bottle and moving a small stool, was vigorously pulling Qin Han outside while talking.

Seeing Qin Yang and Lin Chuxia enter from outside, Zhuangzhuang called out with his big eyes sparkling, "Little Uncle, Little Auntie, there’s a new movie showing at the village entrance today. I’ve found out all about it; it’s called ’Happy Ghost’. Little Uncle, Little Auntie, do you want to come watch it with me? Is Happy Ghost like me? Granny always calls me Little Happy Ghost."

Without waiting for Lin Chuxia and the others to respond, he turned to pull Qin Han, "Dad, hurry up, it’s about to start. We were late yesterday."

Qin Han, clearly impatient, said, "Let your grandpa take you. I want to stay at home and watch TV with your mom."

"The TV show is not interesting. I want to go watch the movie with Dad. Dad, when you see me, your little Happy Ghost, in the movie, you won’t always scold me ’naughty boy’ and fawn over my little sister. Let’s go, Dad, hurry up..."

The two of them chattered nonstop, walking and talking until they reached the gate and disappeared from sight, but Zhuangzhuang’s tender voice could still be heard.

Lin Chuxia looked on with a smile, this silly boy, she remembered that Happy Ghost was actually a ghost movie.

Qin Yang then looked at her, "Do you want to go watch the movie together?"

"Sure," Lin Chuxia agreed without hesitation.

She hadn’t watched a movie with Qin Yang in a long time, and now that everything had been resolved, it was a perfect time to relax.

As for whether it was a ghost movie or something else, Lin Chuxia didn’t care at all.

As long as the person beside her was Qin Yang, that was enough.

Mrs. Qin, hearing their conversation, chuckled, "Go ahead, these days our village has been really lively. Yangyang, it would be great for you and Chuxia to join the fun."

Just as Mrs. Qin finished speaking, Zhang Guilan poked her head out from the house, "Mom, I want to go have some fun too."

"You go back and properly do your confinement," Mrs. Qin didn’t even spare her a glance.

Zhang Guilan’s face showed aggrievement, "Mom, the village is only lively these days. Once I finish my confinement, I won’t be interested in these events. I’ve already fed the baby, and he’s eaten and fallen asleep now. I’ll just go out for a little while and promise to come back soon."

"You still promise me? What about last time? Weren’t you at the market when it opened? No negotiation, hurry back. There’s a breeze now; if you catch a cold, it will be your headache when you’re older."

Lin Chuxia looked at Zhang Guilan’s pitiful, pleading face, spread her hands to show she couldn’t help, and walked away, pulling Qin Yang.

By the time they reached the door, she couldn’t help but laugh, "My sister-in-law is really suffocated by her confinement. By the way, have you seen our little niece? Newly born kids change every day, Little Yaoyao is now chubby and white, really cute."

"Hmm," Qin Yang responded indifferently.

Lin Chuxia, unsatisfied, asked, "What ’hmm’? Did you see her or not?"

"Chuxia, how long do you think you will be at the food factory? I can only rest at home this weekend; I have to go back to work the day after tomorrow. Can you come back with me?"

Qin Yang changed the topic, not wanting to talk too much about children in front of his wife, fearing it would make her think too much and feel sad. freewebnøvel_com

Lin Chuxia didn’t continue the previous topic, but thought for a moment, "Maybe not tomorrow. Although things at the food factory are mostly settled, there might still be some changes. I won’t be at ease until everything is thoroughly settled. My sister-in-law will be done with her confinement in a few days; I might as well wait until Little Yaoyao has finished her full month before I return."

"That’s fine then, I’ll head back first."

The two of them talked as they returned to the wholesale market.

The movie had already started, and from a distance, they could hear the audio effects of the movie – sometimes people screaming, sometimes bursting into laughter.

It was too crowded, and not just with people from Qin Family Village. Folks from villages and even families from the county ten miles away had come to watch.

Seeing no room, the couple didn’t squeeze in.

Qin Yang glanced back, took Lin Chuxia’s hand, and said, "Let’s go, I’ll take you somewhere else."

Qin Yang then led Lin Chuxia directly to the agricultural supply store.

The shop closed early, and the gate was locked.

Qin Yang asked Lin Chuxia to wait at the entrance, then he stepped back a few steps, took a running jump, and clambered over the wall effortlessly, flipping into the yard.

Soon, the small gate inside the courtyard swung open.

"Come over."

Qin Yang took Lin Chuxia’s hand, led her into the yard, and re-locked the door. Then, he guided her to the ladder nearby.

"You go first," he hinted to Lin Chuxia with a gesture.

"Are we going up to the roof?" Lin Chuxia glanced up.

Qin Yang nodded.

Excited, Lin Chuxia eagerly started climbing the ladder, carefully making her way up.

Qin Yang followed closely behind her, protecting her.

These days, buildings usually had cement rooftops, and the agricultural supply store was no exception. Although the building was tall, the roof was flat and steady despite its slope.

Standing on the roof of the shop, they could not only see the bustling wholesale market but also the Xiyang Food Factory illuminated in the night, the tranquil Qin Family Village, and the county of Ancheng County glistening with stars in the distance.

Lin Chuxia suddenly stopped, transfixed.

A warm embrace enveloped her from behind, and she gently leaned back into it.

"I feel that life now is fulfilling and happy, Qin Yang, I am fortunate to have met you in this lifetime."

Qin Yang held her tightly and hummed in agreement, "Me too."

The two embraced, surrounded by the thick night air; not even a star or the moon were visible, hidden behind the clouds.

Yet, looking at the human hustle on the distant market, they could still appreciate a different kind of beauty.

However, the moment was short-lived, as lightning streaked across the sky followed by the rumble of thunder, and the wind started to blow.

The lights in the corner of the wholesale market swayed in the wind, causing the projector operator to stop the show, hastily packing away the screen and equipment.

People grabbed their stools and hurried home.

Suddenly, another flash of lightning, and a light bulb in the corner of the market flickered and went out.

A timid child hollered, stirring up even more noise in the crowd.

Someone yelled that ghosts were coming, others laughed heartily, louder than the wind and thunder.

Qin Yang and Lin Chuxia didn’t dare delay any longer; they hurriedly climbed down from the roof.

The weather looked like it was set in for heavy rain, and they hadn’t brought umbrellas.

Sure enough, just as they reached home, the rain began to fall.

Shortly, Qin Han, bare-chested, ran into the courtyard with a stool in the rain, followed by Little Zhuangzhuang draped in an oversized garment, running and calling out, "Daddy, Daddy, wait for me, I’m scared of ghosts."

He was draped from head to toe in Qin Han’s white shirt, the sleeves flapping wildly as he ran, whipped about by the wind.

Those standing beneath the windows: "..."

............

"Rumble—"

As the lightning and thunder continued, Qin Juan frowned as she looked out the window, holding Ningning closer.
