Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 637

Chapter 637: Chapter 637: Narrow-Mindedness

Taking another look at her son.

It’s said that sons are the foundation of the family, but their foundation was never at home, never to be seen all day, not coming back until mealtime.

Not to mention helping her with things, it’s already good if he doesn’t cause trouble.

Just as she was thinking of her son, Hu Xingwei came back from outside.

As he entered the house, he said, "Mom, why is there no one at Aunt Lin’s house next door? Hasn’t Aunt Lin been home every day lately? I saw her brother wandering at the door; it’s so hot, and there’s not even a tree at the door. Why not let him come over to our house for a while?"

Hu Yaping looked up upon hearing this, also glancing at Sister-in-law Fu.

Sister-in-law Fu was picking vegetables and didn’t lift her head, "There’s no tree at the door, is there nowhere else with a tree? It’s hot inside the house too, I think it’s cooler under the big tree outside."

Hu Xingwei disagreed, "Isn’t there a fan in the house? Besides, if he comes to our house, he can have a drink of water." Usually, their family had a good relationship with Aunt Lin’s family, so why was his mom acting like this? 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Sister-in-law Fu sneered, "He won’t get thirsty not drinking water for a short while. You help me pick the beans instead of minding others’ business."

Now Hu Xingwei and Hu Yaping both sensed something was up.

Their mom wasn’t usually like this.

"What’s going on?" Hu Xingwei asked.

Sister-in-law Fu couldn’t say much to the kids, only said, "Every family has problems of their own; you two don’t need to get involved. That’s Aunt Lin’s family business."

"Oh," Hu Xingwei responded, obediently squatting down to pick beans.

But Hu Yaping stood up directly and walked out.

Sister-in-law Fu called after her, "Where are you going?"

"I’m going to take a look."

"What are you going to see?"

Hu Yaping ignored Sister-in-law Fu, walked out the door, and saw Lin Jiadong squatting at the neighboring gate.

It was nearly noon; the sun was blazing, and he was just squatting there under the sun, with his head down, letting the sun beat down on him.

"Are you trying to get heatstroke by exposing yourself to the sun like that?"

A woman’s calm voice came through, and Lin Jiadong finally noticed the pair of legs beside him.

Looking up along the legs, the glare of the sunlight pierced his eyes, but he saw the owner of those legs.

She was wearing a light-colored dress with a ponytail.

Lin Jiadong recognized her, Hu Yaping, the neighbor of his second sister.

"No."

He just couldn’t figure some things out, even after so many days had passed, he still couldn’t understand why his mom did what she did.

That was his second sister’s biological mother, and his second sister never had a good day in their house; now her real mom came looking for her, how could they let them meet without recognition?

He also heard that the woman was sick and didn’t have long to live. She returned to the country this time just to find her daughter and fulfill her wish.

Were his mom and sister’s hearts made of stone?

Or did money matter more than anything else in their eyes?

These days, he couldn’t focus on his classes, couldn’t sleep, sometimes even regretted coming home that day.

If he hadn’t come home, he wouldn’t have overheard the conversation between his mom and eldest sister, wouldn’t know the truth, wouldn’t be so torn.

On one side was his mom and eldest sister, on the other was his second sister.

No matter what he did, there was a hurdle in his heart.

But he was also glad he went home that day. His second sister endured so much grievance in their house, and treated him so well; he should tell his second sister the truth.

In such torment, Lin Jiadong finally mustered up the courage to come to Yan City.

But seeing his second sister’s home tightly shut, he started to feel tormented again.

Hu Yaping saw he had something on his mind and said no more, turning back to go home.

Soon, she came out with a small bench.

"Here, there’s shade under the tree over there."
