Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife

Lin Chuxia grew impatient with her babbling and was about to make an excuse to send her away when she heard Sister-in-law Feng shift the topic.

"It’s not for me to say, but you city folks just don’t know how to live frugally. No matter the time, one must always budget carefully. Look around our residential compound; in their courtyards, every family has a patch of vegetables growing, even in Jiang Hong’s tiny yard, there are two beds of greens. With such a big yard of yours going to waste without some planting, it’s truly a shame. But I know, as a city girl, you probably can’t do farming. That’s not a problem; I can plant for you. After all, we have such a deep relationship. With me around, I guarantee your yard will be well looked after, saving you a decent amount on vegetables all year round."

Only then did Lin Chuxia realize why she kept praising her yard—it turned out she had her sights set on it.

"There’s no need for you to worry about that. Besides, I believe I’ve told you at our first meeting, I’m not some city person. When it comes to farming and gardening, I’m no worse than you. After all, my family are bona fide vegetable farmers. We know exactly what to plant in each of the four seasons, perhaps even better than you."

Sister-in-law Feng didn’t take her words seriously at all, "Oh come on, don’t be polite with me. Who would believe that? With your delicate, untouched hands, you saying you can garden? It’s settled then. I’ll bring a hoe tomorrow. The ground needs to be turned over and the soil loosened before anything can be planted..."

Lin Chuxia had encountered many people in her two lifetimes, but she had never met anyone quite like Sister-in-law Feng.

While most people would leave some room for pride, she insisted on acting obtusely.

"Xu San Ni, do you truly not understand, or are you just pretending to be confused?"

Xu San Ni was Sister-in-law Feng’s real name. Considering that Feng Dajun and Qin Yang were colleagues, Lin Chuxia didn’t want to fall out with her.

But she couldn’t hold back any longer.
