My Beloved Super Fierce Wife

Chapter 76: 76 so arrogant

Chapter 76: 76 so arrogant

Liu Jiaojiao snorted coldly, her voice filled with resentment as she said, “The people of the Lin Family are one by one so full of themselves they’re nearly flying to the sky.

When mom and I came back, we even heard them showing off on the road.”

“As if nobody else has workers in their family, just look at how smug they are.”

Liu Guohui, noticing that his mother and sister didn’t seem to be lying, turned slightly pale.

His face hurt terribly!!

Yang Chunfang, seeing the change in his expression, tried to comfort him, “It’s still uncertain how long Lin Tang will last there, he might have to come back and farm in just a few days.”

“Guohui, don’t overthink it, just focus on doing well in the factory and strive to become a permanent staff member as soon as possible, once you’re permanent, I’ll stop worrying about you.”

Upon hearing these words from her, Liu Guohui’s expression darkened further.

“Stop talking!”

“I’m tired, I’m going to my room to sleep.”

After saying that, he went straight to his room.

Liu Jiaojiao was utterly bewildered and said to her mother, “Mom, what’s wrong with my second brother, he’s acting so strangely, could something have happened?”

Yang Chunfang also felt a bit uneasy, her right eye kept twitching.

She had a bad premonition.

“Don’t talk nonsense, your second brother is probably just really tired. Have the pigs been fed today? Hurry up and go feed them…”

Liu Jiaojiao hated feeding the pigs.

Every time after feeding them, she felt there was a foul smell clinging to her.

Hearing her mother tell her to go feed the pigs, her expression darkened and she went to the backyard, very reluctantly.

Her heart grew even more dissatisfied with her sister-in-law.

Wasn’t feeding the pigs Miao Cuicui’s job? Why was it pushed onto her?

–

Lin Xiuyuan and Zhao Shuzhen stayed for a while in the second room before going back.

The Lin Family’s main house and the third house saw their parents return and also went back to their own homes.

Only Lin Tang’s family was left in the courtyard.

“Dad, mom, I have another piece of good news to tell you,” said Lin Tang, with a smile beaming across his face.

“What good news?” Li Xiuli asked gently.

Could there be any better news than Tangtang becoming a worker?

Probably not.

Lin Tang didn’t keep them in suspense, and pulled out a thick stack of banknotes from his small bag, shoving them all at her.

“Mom, keep this money,” he said.

This money is from selling the skin cream.

As for the notes, he had picked out some ration tickets from the black market grain sales and put them inside.

Li Xiuli, with a blank look, took the banknotes and was stunned.

The others were just as flabbergasted.

“Tang… Tangtang, what’s… what’s going on?”

“How did you come by so much money?” Li Xiuli’s voice stuttered.

The usually decisive head of the family was rarely so anxious.

Lin Lu was so shocked he even stopped smoking, his gaze fixed on Lin Tang, waiting for an explanation.

Even the eldest brother and his wife, and the second brother and his wife, looked at her in horror.

“Tangtang, you didn’t do something bad, did you? Or did you pick up someone’s money and not return it to the owner?” Lin Qingshan whispered, testing.

Lin Tang was exasperated, “…” Was that really how her own family saw her?

Lin Qingmu, seeing his sister expressionless, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“Eldest brother, what are you thinking? Is Tangtang that kind of person? She earned it,” he said, lifting his chin proudly.

“Earned it?”

“How did she earn it?”

“Wasn’t she going to take an exam? How did she come into money?”

The Lin Family members were a series of question marks, each asking one after another.

Lin Qingmu looked at Lin Tang with admiration.

“Tangtang sold two boxes of skin cream she made.”

He paused for a few seconds,

waiting until he had sufficiently whetted the family’s appetite before continuing:

“The head of the supply and marketing co-op bought them, a box for five yuan each.”

“My sister also arranged with her friend from the supply and marketing cooperative to supply three boxes every month at a price of four yuan per box…”

The Lin Family members were all dumbfounded, unable to utter a word for quite some time.

Zhou Mei was the first to regain her composure, swallowing hard.

“Four yuan per box, three boxes making it twelve yuan… Are… are.. are we, the Lin Family going to be wealthy?”

Her words were like a drop of water on a hot oil pan.

Sizzle!

Only then did everyone react.

Lin Lu’s spine stiffened, and he turned his head towards Lin Tang like a rusty robot.

“Girl, is what your third brother said true?”

How could he, a countryman who only knew how to farm, have sired such a clever daughter?

What great deeds must he have done in a past life!!

Lin Tang nodded, saying, “It’s true, but it’s not all my doing; Dad also deserves half the credit.”

Everyone else looked at her in surprise.

Then they cast a veiled, unbelieving glance at Lin Lu.

Credit due to the head of the household (Dad)?

Hard to believe!

Lin Lu was also completely baffled.

But deep inside, he started to swell with pride.

His neck tilted back slightly, like that of a proud black swan.

Lin Qingshan carefully glanced at his dad and asked Lin Tang, “Tangtang, what do you mean when you say Dad also deserves some credit?”

Lin Tang produced a wooden box containing a moisturizing cream as if by magic.

“This! It’s all about this!”

“Don’t underestimate the packaging box Dad made with such care; it’s extremely useful!”

“Just think, without this, what would have happened to my cream? How could it have been sold?”

“Dad put in a lot of effort to make this, so when I say he deserves half the credit, I’m not wrong, right?”

She knew her dad didn’t realize that several boxes had been discarded before the final product was created.

But she had seen it all from the start.

Li Xiuli nodded in agreement, affirming her husband’s contribution.

“Going by what Tangtang said, Dad really did contribute, and it wasn’t a small contribution at that.”

Lin Qingshan joined in the praise, “Dad is truly a model of low-key achievement.

We all didn’t notice, but he made a big deal in silence alongside Tangtang.

As the head of the family, impressive indeed!”

Lin Qingshui’s eyes widened in disbelief as he gave his big brother a look.

“To think, Big brother is so skilled at flattery!”

I’ve been disrespectful, my apologies!

He hurriedly followed suit, “I heard that Dad doesn’t even have all the right tools for woodworking, yet he managed to make this so smooth and even carved flowers on it. Dad’s craftsmanship is really good.”

Lin Lu stood even straighter.

He waved his hand.

Though humble on the outside, his heart was bubbling with pride.

“Ahem… it’s nothing, after all, I learned woodworking for a few years; if it can be of help to Tangtang, that’s all that matters.”

Lucky I hadn’t forgotten my skills!

As for the failed attempts, he had long forgotten about them.

Lin Tang said, “Dad is truly skilled, and we’ll need your help monthly from now on.”

Lin Lu sighed, “What’s the trouble in that? It will be good practice for me, lest I lose the skill.”

He suffered a great deal back in the day to learn this craft.

Yet, he had hardly made any money before private trading was abolished, and even his master had to return to farming.

There was nothing he could do about the policy above, so he too packed up and went back to the village.

Knowing he had such a skill, villagers would occasionally ask him to make things for them.

A barrel, a basin, whatever, but they had to provide their own wood, and he was lucky to earn a dime or two from it.

Moreover, people were careful with their belongings, which wouldn’t break for years.

Then the famine came, and everyone was struggling just to eat, let alone buy things.

So, he hadn’t had any business in years.
