Chapter 75: 75 Heart bleeds profusely

Lin Aiguo’s mouth twitched slightly, but before he could voice his rebuttal, his older brother joined in.

As soon as Lin Baoguo opened his mouth, he voiced some dissatisfaction toward him.

“What Dad and Mom said isn’t wrong, don’t cling to those unrealistic thoughts, earning more work points is better than anything else.”

Lin Baoguo’s wife, Guo Xiu, curled her lips in disdain, unsatisfied with her lazy and gluttonous younger brother-in-law, yet she dared not say a word.

The relationship between the Lin brothers was firm.

Besides, although the parents-in-law were scolding the younger brother-in-law, in fact, it was their coddling that made him this way.

Lin Aiguo, after hearing his second brother’s words, wore a face full of defiance.

He rolled his eyes, with a devil-may-care attitude.

“When have I ever not earned work points? What I eat is all earned by myself.”

Although he didn’t like working in the fields, he would still do what needed to be done.

Lin Fu’s family suddenly found themselves speechless.

It seemed to be true…

Indeed, Aiguo didn’t like to work in the fields, but the work points he earned were enough to feed himself.

He would even occasionally bring home some meat and eggs.

So how did that reputation of being lazy and greedy come about?!

Lin Tang, who was silently watching beside, shook her head helplessly after glimpsing at her second sister-in-law.

How did it come about? Of course, it was spread by those with intentions.

Luckily, her eldest sister-in-law was not as petty as her sister-in-law; otherwise, her household would be much more tiresome to handle!

She thought highly of her cousin Aiguo, who was very filial to his uncle and aunt, not the type who would think only of his own mouth.

He would always bring back anything good to eat that he could find.

This was commendable.

Seeing that Sister Xiaojing from her third uncle’s side hadn’t even taken a sip of water, Lin Tang called out to her from the side.

“Sister Xiaojing, have some sweet soup, don’t be shy. If it’s not enough, I’ll get you more later.”

Lin Xiaojing’s figure was skinny and her complexion had an earthy pallor, clearly severely malnourished.

“Thank you, Tangtang,” Lin Xiaojing said timidly, with a small voice.

She cautiously glanced at her mother, Zhang Hongyan, and took a sip from the bowl.

So sweet, so very sweet!!

The sweetness rushed into her mouth, seemingly diluting the bitterness in her heart.

“…You’re welcome,” Lin Tang said as she looked at her cousin’s arms, thin as sticks, and sighed inwardly.

It seemed Aunt Zhang’s grudge had still not been resolved!

Zhang Hongyan had given birth to a son and a daughter.

The son was the quiet Lin Qingya, who had also come over today.

The daughter was Lin Xiaojing.

It was said that Aunt Zhang held a grudge against her because she had been injured giving birth to Xiaojing.

Over the years, the thorn in her heart had never been removed, and she didn’t treat her daughter very well.

Every family has its own hard-to-read scriptures, and outsiders can’t intervene; Lin Tang was unable to offer any advice.

She could only pull her cousin to one side and talk about things that she found amusing.

The Lin family’s side was lively and bustling.

On the other hand, the Liu Family had just learned of Lin Tang’s joining the Textile Factory.

The Liu Family members were shocked, furious, red-faced… a myriad of emotions welled up in their hearts.

Indescribably complex.

After returning home, no one was in the mood to cook. They sat silently in the courtyard.

They found themselves at a loss for words.

It was shameful!

To scorn a girl for her education being as good as none and still having to earn work points in the fields…

Who would have known that Lin Tang, who had just broken off her engagement with their family not long ago, was about to start working at a textile factory?

It was a real slap in the face!

That was the Textile Factory, after all.

A monthly wage of over twenty yuan was expected, right?

If she had married into their family, wouldn’t there be an extra ten or so yuan monthly as an allowance?

Just thinking about it, Yang Chunfang felt as if blood was pouring out of her heart.

If only she had known that Lin Tang could become a factory worker, she would have…

Liu Jiaojiao curled her lips, her tone dripping with sourness.

“It’s just the Textile Factory, so what…”

“Someone might just chase you back to the village in no time! What’s there to be proud of?”

Miao Cuicui chuckled with a sneer, her disdain all too obvious, “Is it that easy to find a job, niece?”

“Why don’t you try looking for one?” Her tone was sarcastic.

Liu Jiaojiao choked and turned to Yang Chunfang, “Mom, look at my sister-in-law…”

Miao Cuicui rolled her eyes and went to the kitchen.

She was hungry and wanted to cook, no time to bicker with a young girl.

Yang Chunfang glared at her eldest daughter-in-law, but thinking that Miao Cuicui was right, she couldn’t reprimand her and had to let it go.

“Enough talk, are we eating or not? Let’s get on with cooking!”

Saying this, she planned to head for the kitchen.

Just as she stood up, she saw Liu Guohui sneaking into the house.

“Guohui?” Yang Chunfang’s face was filled with shock.

“What’s happened? Why do you look like this?”

Liu Guoqiang could not hide his surprise, “Second brother, what happened to you? Are you alright? Sit down first, what’s wrong with your leg?”

Miao Cuicui, having just taken out some grains, heard the noise and hurried out.

Upon seeing Liu Guohui, she exclaimed in her mind.

There he was, her well-dressed uncle, who would normally wear face cream and have neatly combed hair, now with a bruised and swollen face, looking extremely bedraggled.

“Uncle, you are…” Miao Cuicui gasped in shock.

He must have been beaten up.

Oh dear, he looked pitiful.

Liu Jiaojiao took pride in having a brother who was a worker.

Seeing Liu Guohui in such a state, her expression changed drastically.

“Mom, should we get the barefoot doctor for my brother first?”

Before Yang Chunfang could nod, Liu Guohui coldly refused, “No need, I’ll recover in a few days.”

To avoid people from the brigade, he found a secluded spot and lingered at the entrance of the village for quite a while before heading home.

Seeking a doctor now would only broadcast that Liu Guohui had been beaten up, wouldn’t it?

He could not afford to lose that face.

“But…” Liu Jiaojiao said, worried.

“No buts, if I say no, then it’s no,” Liu Guohui’s face was very unpleasant.

Yang Chunfang pulled Liu Jiaojiao’s hand, signaling her to stop talking.

Then she glared at Miao Cuicui, “As the head of this household, are you still not going to cook? Or do you not want to eat?”

Miao Cuicui’s heart was clogged, but she turned around and went back to the kitchen.

Yang Chunfang said with a stern voice, “Don’t forget to boil an egg for Guohui.”

Miao Cuicui’s expression twisted for a moment, but she obediently agreed.

Eat eat eat, why doesn’t he just eat himself to death!

Liu Guoqiang saw his wife upset and quickly followed her to the kitchen to help her out.

After sending off her daughter-in-law, Yang Chunfang looked at Liu Guohui with concern, “Guohui, what happened to you? Did you get into a fight?”

Liu Guohui’s expression stiffened.

Annoyed, he said, “Ran into an idiot, don’t mind it.”

“Alright, Mom won’t ask anymore, but have you heard about Lin Tang?” Yang Chunfang asked tentatively.

“Lin Tang?” Liu Guohui frowned.

Thinking about being mocked by the Lin siblings earlier, his expression darkened even more.

“What news could she possibly have?”

The disdain in his voice was unmistakable.

Liu Jiaojiao looked at her second brother with a complicated expression.

“Second brother, Lin Tang has become a worker at the Textile Factory.”

Liu Guohui paused for a moment.

“How is that possible?”

“Stop joking around.”

“It’s not possible!”

He denied it three times in a row.

How could Lin Tang, that block of wood, suddenly become a worker?

Yang Chunfang also didn’t want to accept this reality; it made her feel sour.

“… The news has spread throughout the entire brigade, it is said that even her ration and oil supply relations have been transferred.”
