Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 485

Chapter 485: Chapter 485: The Event That Changed Her Life

Qin Yang was fluffing the quilt and didn’t hear Lin Chuxia’s voice. When he turned his head, he saw his wife staring blankly at a few pomegranates on the pomegranate tree, and his heart skipped a beat.

Before he could speak, he heard Lin Chuxia ask, "Qin Yang, what’s the date today?"

"It’s the 29th, July 29th."

Lin Chuxia nodded her head.

July 29th, 1987.

In her past life, something happened on July 29, 1987, that changed her life significantly.

Back then, their business had just started to pick up; they were no longer just selling vegetables, and she and Li Guangyuan had opened a snack shop.

The snack shop was doing well, but it was still just a snack shop.

Up at the crack of dawn and working till dusk, she was both the owner and the waitress, managing almost everything in the shop on her own.

One day, Li Hongmei suddenly came to the shop and said that since it was so busy and she was idle at home anyway, she might as well help out at the shop.

She was puzzled; her two younger sisters-in-law were lazy and only dreamt of marrying city folk, keeping themselves prim and proper, absolutely avoiding any hard work — what made her think of helping out at the shop?

Li Guangyuan was happy to have some help and agreed before she could say anything.

As expected, Li Hongmei helped out for two days and then disappeared on the third day, along with the income from the shop’s drawer.

Li Hongmei had heard that the clothes at the Department Store in the city were fashionable southern goods, so she took the opportunity to help out and stole the shop’s money to buy new clothes directly by taking a bus to the city.

But who would have thought that as soon as she reached the city, she was targeted by a pickpocket. Not only was her money stolen, but she was also nearly abducted by human traffickers.

Thankfully, a kind-hearted person called the police.

She and Li Guangyuan also went to the city to pick her up after being notified.

Having fetched her, instead of being repentant, Li Hongmei insisted on buying new clothes.

Lin Chuxia didn’t want to indulge her sister-in-law, but Li Guangyuan didn’t dare to oppose her.

In the end, Li Guangyuan accompanied Li Hongmei to the Department Store, while Lin Chuxia wandered alone through the city.

As she wandered, she reached the riverside; the environment was serene, a gentle breeze caressing her face, refreshing her spirit.

She sat there watching the flowing river water, and after an unknown amount of time, she heard someone screaming for help.

She saw a child struggling in the river, going up and down, the children on the shore crying and calling for help.

It was noon at the time, the riverside was quiet, and there was no one around.

Lin Chuxia didn’t think twice and jumped into the water to save the person.

However, she overestimated her capabilities. The river appeared calm, but the current was not slow. Additionally, the child being around ten years old, was quite strong when struggling.

She was grabbed by the child and couldn’t shake him off, managing just to swim with one arm.

But the strength of one arm was insufficient to carry two people; soon, her strength failed, and she began to sink with the child clinging to her.

She couldn’t even feel the cold of the water; her only thought was that it was over.

After all, they were still several meters away from the shore, and she truly had no strength left.

It wasn’t just about saving the child anymore; she feared she might die herself.

Just when she was sinking and about to lose consciousness, she heard the sound of the water ...

Later, when she woke up, she and the child had been saved, and the person who rescued them left after seeing them safe on the shore.
