My Beloved Super Fierce Wife

Chapter 69: Your daughter is really something.

Chapter 69: Your daughter is really something.

Lin Tang, after hearing her nephew and niece’s adorable praise, laughed and sent them off to play.

“Alright, off you go and have fun.”

The little ones sure had a way with words.

Goudan and the three other little ones obediently nodded and agreed.

Worried that someone might ‘covet’ the bun in their hands, they played nearby, not straying far at all.

When Lin Tang lifted the lid of the lunchbox, the plump white buns packed together looked quite impressive and caught Li Xiuli’s eye.

Wow… Quite the sight! All those white flour buns.

And the meat, not sure what kind it was, smelled incredibly good!

Li Xiuli was instantly stunned.

She moved her lips and asked, “Tangtang, did you buy the buns and meat in the lunchbox?”

All these delicacies, the money she gave her daughter can’t be enough, right?

“I bought them myself, I passed the exam, our family has a worker now, shouldn’t we celebrate a bit? There’s also a portion of mutton in there,” Lin Tang said, patting the lunchbox.

This lunchbox, which her father made for her when she was in high school in the county, had dividers inside and held quite a lot.

Ever since Lin Tang graduated from high school, it had become a useless item.

If someone went to the county to buy stuff that was difficult to carry, they would use this lunchbox.

Hearing her daughter’s words, Li Xiuli’s heart went “aiyo.”

Painful indeed!!

Without a second thought, she clenched her fist and punched Lin Qingmu.

The rascal din’t even think to advise Tangtang.

Could those in the countryside even afford to eat this white flour, this mutton?

“Aiyo, Mother, why are you hitting me? The lunchbox almost fell to the ground.”

Lin Qingmu had never expected his mother to lash out without a word.

With a fierce shake of his arm, the lunchbox almost slipped out of his hand to kiss the ground.

Luckily, he had a burning desire for meat, and in this critical moment, he managed to save the day, holding onto the lunchbox firmly in his hand.

Li Xiuli, thinking about the goodies inside the lunchbox, was also nervous, but pretended to be tough as she said:

“…If you dare drop it, I’ll have your father beat you when we get back.”

Lin Qingmu was on the verge of tears.

Mother was really being unreasonable.

The young man felt aggrieved inside, and his reproachful gaze turned to Lin Tang.

Sister, stop watching the show.

Save your brother!

Lin Tang took hold of her mother’s arm, deftly changing the subject.

“Mother, where’s Dad and my brother and sister-in-law? I want to share the good news of becoming a worker with them and bring them some joy.”

Li Xiuli came to her senses and remembered that they had forgotten about the old man and the others.

“Oh, yes, yes, your father, your brother, and your sister-in-law must be anxious too.

Qingmu, run over and tell your father; he’s in the field to the north.

Tangtang, you’ve worked hard all day, go back and rest a while,

When Mother gets off work, I’ll make you some noodles to eat.”

The head of the household had just sent the eldest son to inquire, and not long after the person left, Tangtang and the third child returned.

Lin Qingmu, once again feeling differentiated against: “…” Mother, could you be any more biased?

Everyone else favors their sons, so why is her son treated like worthless grass?

While thinking this, he honestly headed to the fields, not even allowing his sister to carry the lunchbox for him.

Lin Tang watched as her third brother quickly disappeared from view and looked at her mother.

“Mother, let me work with you, so we can finish earlier and go home together.”

Li Xiuli flatly refused her.

“No, I’ll finish these chores in a moment,

hurry back home, don’t get your clothes dirty.”

Watching her daughter, looking pretty in her new blouse, Li Xiuli felt a soft and proud warmth in her heart.

Such an excellent daughter, she had given birth to.

Today, Lin Tang wore a new shirt made by her older sister-in-law, paired with black pants and cloth shoes, a very ordinary outfit.

It was nowhere near as stylish as city folks.

But she was beautiful; truly, her eyebrows and eyes were like fine art, and she exuded confidence, which set her apart.

Seeing Li Xiuli’s firm refusal to let her help, Lin Tang compromised with no choice.

“Alright then, Mom, come back early; I have some great news to tell you.”

Li Xiuli responded with a hearty laugh, “Mom will come back after finishing up. If you are tired, go home and rest a bit first; the workday will end soon anyway.”

She watched her daughter leave and then continued with her fieldwork.

Upon seeing her return, Wang Xuemei smiled and said with a sigh, “You must be relieved now, I’ve never seen a family treasure their daughter like yours. Tangtang is really blessed to have been born into your family.”

In other families, sons are the favored ones, but Lin Family places the daughter at the highest importance.

Even the sons who earn work points in the fields are put behind the daughter; who knows what the Lin Family is thinking.

“Having Tangtang as my daughter means that my husband and I are the ones blessed,” said Li Xiuli. “My daughter is both smart and filial. What’s wrong with us favoring her a bit more? If you ask me, none of my three boys can hold a candle to Tangtang. Which other family’s daughter can secure a job for herself?” Li Xiuli lifted her chin, her face beaming with unstoppable pride.

Wang Xuemei thought she had heard wrong, “A job?”

Her voice went up more than one pitch, unable to conceal her surprise.

Li Xiuli lifted her chin proudly, saying, “Yes indeed, a job at the Textile Factory, Tangtang has even transferred her grain and oil rations there…”

Seeing that Li Xiuli did not seem to be joking, Wang Xuemei murmured in shock, “Your daughter is truly remarkable!”

But, is it strange that I don’t find it surprising?

Maybe it’s because Lin Tang has been special since childhood.

As a young girl, she was wise, gentle, and loved to read, unlike the other kids who only knew how to fool around.

Now that she’s met with such fortune, it makes sense.

This must be what people call having a solid foundation.

Because she was sufficiently hardworking and outstanding, she was ready to grab the opportunity when it presented itself.

“Your Tangtang has made it through the tough times. Jobs are hard to come by nowadays; you have every reason to be proud, Xiuli,” Wang Xuemei remarked with envy.

You’re not wrong, Xiuli; such a daughter indeed equals three sons.

Such capability!

The corners of Li Xiuli’s mouth lifted high, though she felt it was too obvious and deliberately tried to restrain her expression.

“Whether to hold my head high or sigh with relief isn’t important. As long as the children are well, we mothers can be at peace. My Tangtang owes it to your Shuanzi as well,” she said. “At that time, my girl’s head was injured by Wang Zhaodi and left in the mountains. If your Shuanzi hadn’t seen her and told my third son, Tangtang…”

She couldn’t continue speaking.

Whenever she thought about the agony her daughter had suffered, her heart ached.

It was infuriating that her family couldn’t even take revenge and beat up Wang Zhaodi.

Tangtang’s uncle was the brigade Captain, so the family had to be cautious about their every move, and it was inevitably a source of frustration.

However, the moment she thought of the benefits they’d received from the uncle’s family, she couldn’t bring herself to hold any resentment.

It wasn’t right to want every advantage without being willing to face any of the consequences.

Wang Xuemei waved her hand dismissively, saying confidently, “If Shuanzi hadn’t seen her, that would be it, but since he did, of course, he wouldn’t ignore it. We’re all from the same brigade; there’s no need to be so formal.”

Besides, the Lin Family also sent meat to thank Shuanzi, didn’t they?

Shuanzi only delivered the message and didn’t really help much; it’s not really right to say he ‘saved her life’.”
