Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 784

Chapter 784: Chapter 784: I Don’t Owe You Anything

The front door resounded with violent thuds as Lin Jiayi wiped her hands and went to answer it.

As soon as the door opened, a drunken Li Guangyuan stumbled in.

Lin Jiayi instinctively caught him, frowning, "Why did you drink so much? Weren’t you delivering dishes to Qin Family Village? Where are the dishes?"

Li Guangyuan groggily lifted his head, saw the woman in front of him, and flung her off.

"Who the hell are you to boss me around? I work when I want to work, drink when I want to drink. I earn the money, and it has nothing to do with you. Don’t think you can hold this over me; I owe you nothing..."

Lin Jiayi thought he was truly drunk. When had she ever brought up money with him?

Since returning after the divorce, she had taken a backseat and never argued about it.

Knowing reasoning with a drunkard was futile, she tried to support him into the house, but Li Guangyuan refused to walk, shoving her aside.

"What’s your deal? Why are you still here? Didn’t I tell you to get lost? From now on, I don’t want to see you again. It’s you, this malicious woman, who ruined me. If not for you, I’d be successful by now. Get lost, and don’t blame me if I’m not polite," he said, pushing her out the door.

Not only that, he locked the door behind her.

Lin Jiayi knew that once Li Guangyuan found out the truth, he would loathe her, but she had nowhere else to go.

Recalling the deadly glare in Li Guangyuan’s eyes just now, her feet couldn’t move forward at all.

She used to think that once their relationship eased, they could remarry.

Now, not to mention remarrying, staying in this house was impossible.

Lin Jiayi wandered aimlessly around the county for most of the day and finally returned to Daqing Mountain Village.

Once she got home, her parents were there, muttering about something.

Seeing Lin Jiayi return, Mother Lin’s eyes lit up, "Jiayi, you’re back! Did you come back because you know your brother will be heading to school the day after tomorrow? It shows you’re a caring sister. Jiadong, look at your big sister, she’s so busy yet she knows you’re going to school and came back to see you."

Lin Jiadong was reading a book, and upon hearing his mother’s words, he nodded indifferently and called out "Big sister," before lowering his head to continue reading.

Mother Lin wasn’t bothered by his attitude, and even praised him with a smile.

"Jiayi, look at how hardworking your brother is. I always knew that our Lin Family’s pride would come from him. Indeed, in all these years, our Daqing Mountain Village has produced only a few university students, and your brother got into the Capital University. You don’t know, when the admission letter arrived, the principal of Ancheng First High School personally came to Daqing Mountain Village to deliver it to your brother. Even the village chief came and said that when your brother goes to school the day after tomorrow, the whole village will send him off with drums and gongs. Oh my, in all these years I’ve never felt so proud, your brother really brings honor to our family..."

After Mother Lin finished, she noticed Lin Jiayi standing still and silent, and she extended her hand with a smile.

This was all her doing.

But how could Lin Jiayi dare tell her mother this?

If she did, her mom would likely think she was crazy.

"Anyway, I have no money, and besides, I don’t want to live with Li Guangyuan anymore. Coming back today, I had no intention of going back to the Li family..."

"What did you say?" Mother Lin interrupted Lin Jiayi before she finished. "Have you lost your mind? If you’re not going back home, where will you go? I’m telling you, the day after tomorrow, the whole village will send your brother off to university. Your brother not only brings pride to our village but also to the county. What’s your role staying at home? Do you want everyone to know he has a divorced sister? Then who would want to be associated with him? I’m telling you, don’t even think about staying at home to ruin your brother’s future. Leave now, go back to where you came from."

After saying that, Mother Lin, without any room for discussion, pushed Lin Jiayi out.

Lin Jiayi knew her mother was heartless, but she hadn’t imagined there was no room for negotiation.

"I have nowhere to go now. Li Guangyuan won’t even let me in the Li family home."

"If Li Guangyuan won’t let you in, then deal with him. Why are you coming back to your parents’ house to cause trouble? Leave now, or if the neighbors hear this, won’t it bring shame to your brother?"

Seeing Mother Lin’s heartless demeanor, Lin Jiayi was completely disheartened, "Oh, you’re afraid of bringing shame to my brother? I’m not. This is my home too. Mom, don’t forget, it was you who prompted me to divorce and recognize that woman as my mother. It was all your idea. With things like this, you need to take responsibility."
