Chapter 104: 104 Adults are so domineering oh (Plus two more)
"Sister-in-law, this is the first time the second sister-in-law has ever been so generous," Li Xiuli said.
"In the future, if there’s anything, don’t forget about your second brother," she added.
Lin Tang was surprised to see the fingers that were usually glued together actually loosened.
A flicker of surprise passed through her eyes as she reached out to accept.
"Thank you, second sister-in-law," she said.
Zhou Mei fought the urge to snatch the thing back.
She forced a smile and feigned magnanimity, "No, no need to thank me."
The other members of the Lin Family had never seen her be so generous and were shocked.
Goudan opened his mouth in surprise and muttered softly.
"Mom, is that really second aunt?"
Could the second aunt actually be willing to give away her own things?
Ning Xinrou’s forehead creased with lines of frustration as she slapped the back of Goudan’s head, scolding him in a low voice.
"Don’t talk nonsense," she said.
Were the elders someone the children could gossip about?
Goudan quickly covered his mouth, his eyes darting around as he nodded vigorously. freewebnσvel.cøm
But in his heart, he thought: Adults are so bossy, you can’t even tell the truth.
Lin Qingshui was also stunned by Zhou Mei’s rare generosity.
Actually, his wife was quite generous to him and their two children, willing to share with them the tasty things, though not much!
But to others, she was truly tight-fisted.
Zhou Mei realized that the way Lin Qingshui was looking at her seemed to have changed.
She paused for a moment.
Then, she puffed up with pride.
That little smug look! As if she had done some remarkable deed.
Lin Qingshui was speechless and twitched the corner of his mouth slightly.
Right, right, right, the wife is still the same, no change there.
But then, remembering his wife had actually done something reliable for once, Lin Qingshui quickly adjusted his expression to a more managed one.
He smiled and gave Zhou Mei a thumbs up, his eyes becoming much warmer.
When Zhou Mei met the charming, smiling eyes of the head of the household, she was elated.
The head of the household did look quite good when he smiled.
Her heart almost leapt out of her chest.
Actually... actually, if Qingshui wouldn’t always be so stern with her, she could be more generous too.
The other members of the Lin Family silently diverted their gazes, feeling that the air had become somewhat cloying.
Lin Lu cleared his throat, looked towards Lin Qingmu and Lin Tang, and said, "You two better get going, be safe on the road."
The siblings nodded and hurried towards the county.
The Lin Family watched Lin Tang’s figure disappear from view before they started walking toward the village.
Li Xiuli was somewhat listless.
Her daughter had started working, which was different from going to school.
She wouldn’t be able to come back once a week anymore.
What if Tangtang was bullied at the factory? Their family wouldn’t be able to help at all.
Noticing that his wife was in a bad mood, Lin Lu patted her back, comforting her, "Don’t overthink; Tangtang is clever, she’ll be fine."
Of course, Li Xiuli knew she was worrying needlessly.
But isn’t that just what mothers are like?
No matter how old their children get, in a mother’s heart, they are always young.
"I know, I’m just not used to it. I’ll be fine in a few days," she said.
Goudan, thinking Lin Tang was just going away for work like when she went to school and would be back in a week, didn’t feel particularly sad at the moment.
He was hopping and skipping along the road.
"Grandma, is working fun? Do they have meat to eat?" Goudan asked curiously."
Li Xiuli touched her grandson’s little head, smiling lovingly, "Sure, there is, not just meat, but money and tickets too, you can buy whatever you want.
It’s good to be a worker, Goudan. You also need to study hard so that when you grow up, you can have a secure job too."
Goudan nodded like a little adult.
"Yeah, I want to be like my little aunt, study hard, and secure a stable job in the future."
Although, in a child’s understanding, he didn’t quite know what a "secure job" really was.
But when the uncles and aunties in the village talked about a guaranteed job, envy could be seen streaming from the corners of their mouths.
So, a guaranteed job must be a good thing.
Lin Lu, seeing how smart his eldest grandson was, sighed and said, "Goudan is also getting older, let’s send him to school when the new term starts."
A child of nearly seven should indeed start studying.
Lin Qingshan and Ning Xinrou exchanged smiles.
"Thank you, father and mother." The couple said in unison.
Their son should have started school earlier, but the family faced difficulties.
They had previously put their younger sister through high school.
Plus, with no other source of income besides earning work points, Ning Xinrou could only teach Goudan herself first.
Now that the head of the family had finally spoken up, it was a great piece of good news indeed.
Zhou Mei’s mouth twitched, but before she could speak,
Lin Lu continued, "When the younger ones grow up, they’ll all be sent to study. No matter how poor we are, we can’t skimp on education."
It didn’t matter whether it was a boy or a girl, as long as they could continue their studies, the family would support them even if it meant selling the cooking pot and the iron.
Zhou Mei chuckled and said with praise, "Dad is really generous."
The family hadn’t walked for a few minutes when they happened to run into Liu’s younger sister.
"Auntie Li, Uncle Lin, are you sending off your Tangtang? Why don’t I see Qingmu? He must have gone to see Tangtang off, right? Auntie Li is really good at raising children, just look at how sensible your kids are, truly enviable."
Before the Lin Family could say a word, Liu’s younger sister had already rattled off a bunch of words.
Li Xiuli wasn’t pretentious and chatted with her amiably.
"It’s all down to the kids being sensible. Children from poor families take on responsibilities early, how could they not be sensible?"
Liu’s younger sister curled her lips inwardly.
Acting all high and mighty, aren’t you? You must be thrilled inside, right?
She muttered to herself, but her face remained smiling.
"Auntie Li, you just wait to enjoy a comfortable life."
With a slight compliment, Liu’s younger sister began talking about the Liu Family’s affairs.
"Auntie Li, you might not know about the Liu Family’s situation yet, right?" Her eyes twinkled with the light of gossip.
The Liu Family’s affairs? What happened to the Liu Family now?!
Li Xiuli was full of confusion.
She only knew about Liu Guohui being kicked out of the steel factory; she had no idea about anything else.
But she wasn’t curious either.
"The Liu Family’s affairs have nothing to do with us," Li Xiuli said disinterestedly.
"Oh, I know it has nothing to do with your family," Liu’s younger sister said with enthusiasm that burned like fire, completely ignoring Li Xiuli’s lack of interest.
She grabbed her and freely gossiped, "You definitely don’t know this yet, do you? Let me tell you, to find Guohui a job, his parents spent two hundred yuan and one hundred kilos of grain."
Speaking of the amount of money and grain, the envy and jealousy in her eyes were indescribable.
Two hundred yuan, one hundred kilograms of grain?
Li Xiuli’s heart trembled fiercely.
Is a job in the county that expensive?!
With strong feelings stirring inside her, she kept a normal expression and walked towards the field with her family, without any extra reaction.
The Liu Family’s ups and downs didn’t have much to do with her anymore.
Each family had its own destiny.
It was best for each to focus on living their own lives well.
It’s better not to talk too much about other people’s business or laugh at other people’s misfortunes.
After all, one should be a bit more generous as a person.
When Zhou Mei heard Liu’s younger sister’s words, her first thought was that her sister-in-law was truly amazing.
"Husband, Tangtang is really impressive."
Without spending a penny, without using a grain of food, relying on saving someone and passing an exam, she became an official directly.
If that’s not impressive, what is?
Thinking this, she felt a twinge of annoyance.
She berated herself for underestimating others.
