My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 85: I really envy you.
Chapter 85: I really envy you.
Ning Xinrou’s heart sank, and she gave a slight shake of her head to her.
She took a step forward and lowered her voice.
"Xiaojing has already taken a hot bath, but she still seems to be in a poor mood."
She didn’t talk, just like a puppet.
It was worrying to look at.
Lin Qingshan was startled by his cousin’s sudden leap into the river, and even the look he gave Lin Tang was tinged with worry.
"Tangtang, don’t follow Xiaojing’s example. If there’s anything, just tell us.
With so many people in the Lin Family, there’s no way we can’t protect a few girls,
No matter when, you can’t get overheated."
This time, thanks to someone who saw Xiaojing jump into the river, and luckily my sister knew a little about rescuing people.
Otherwise, she would have been in danger.
Lin Tang felt warmth in her heart.
Her big brother still treated her like a little girl.
"Don’t worry, big brother, I wouldn’t punish myself for someone else’s mistakes."
Lin Qingshan ruffled her head.
"Mm, go inside!"
Lin Tang waved to them and went into the courtyard.
Lin Xiaojing was in the front room.
When Lin Tang entered the room, she saw Lin Xiaojing lying on the bed, with her grandmother talking to her.
"Tangtang has come," said Zhao Shuzhen.
"Granny, Sister Xiaojing, Mother sent me to bring some brown sugar."
Zhao Shuzhen’s eyes softened, "Your mother is thoughtful. Stay for a meal later."
The third son’s wife is confused, but the wives of the eldest and the second son are still decent.
Lin Tang didn’t refuse and smiled, "Okay."
Zhao Shuzhen noticed her nature had become much more open than before, and her expression even gentler.
"You talk to your Sister Xiaojing for a while; I’ll go and cook."
After speaking, she left the room.
Lin Xiaojing looked at her fair-skinned, bright-eyed cousin with a hint of envy in her eyes.
She frankly said, "Tangtang, I really envy you."
This remark made the two who had just reached the door stop in their tracks.
Lin Tang’s facial expression didn’t change.
It wasn’t bragging; a hundred percent of the girls in the village envied her.
Her movements continued uninterrupted as she prepared brown sugar water for Lin Xiaojing.
She smiled lightly, "Cousin, you too are envied by many."
"Just think about Uncle Three and Brother Qingya, and you won’t feel so bad."
Living in this world, who isn’t less than some and more than others?
When you think you’re miserable, others are more so; when you think you’re doing well, there’s always someone better.
Keeping a peaceful mind and spending time on meaningful things gives you more than what constant striving can achieve.
The two people Lin Tang mentioned instantly brought a spark to Lin Xiaojing’s eyes.
"Yes, I should think more about my dad and my brother..."
They were so good to her.
Her impulsive jump into the river this time must have scared them.
If she had died...
Lin Xiaojing’s heart suddenly clenched.
Looking at Lin Tang, her eyes filled with gratitude.
"Tangtang, thank you for saving me," she said with a pale face.
She seemed to have seen the light.
Lin Tang didn’t know why her cousin had suddenly changed her attitude and didn’t ask further.
It was good that she had come around.
"You’re welcome! It’s good that Sister Xiaojing has seen the light, there’s nothing we can’t get through."
"Drink this bowl of brown sugar water."
Lin Xiaojing took the bowl, "Thank you, Tangtang."
Then, she blew on it and took a sip.
It was sweet and warm, sweetening and warming her heart.
"Sister Xiaojing, if it’s convenient, can you tell me what happened?" Lin Tang sat on the edge of the brick bed and asked.
As she spoke, the father and son who were about to enter the room stopped in their tracks again.
They were also curious about what was wrong with Xiaojing.
Lin Xiaojing’s body stiffened.
Her hands gripping the bowl were too forceful.
Her fingertips turned somewhat pale.
She was silent for a long time.
Lin Tang did not rush her, just watching her with those clear eyes.
"My mother wants to arrange a matchmaking date for me..."
She paused for a moment.
She took a sip of the sugary water.
The rising steam from the bowl obscured the emotions in her eyes.
A little while later.
Lin Xiaojing continued, "The match..."
Mentioning that person, her breathing clearly became more rapid.
A disgust crept into the depths of her eyes.
"That man, he... took advantage of me."
Lin Tang’s pupils shrank, and she frowned, "Took advantage of you?! Did you tell Aunt Zhao Shuzhen about this?"
If Aunt Zhao Shuzhen knew, she certainly wouldn’t have agreed.
"I wanted to say something, but my mom didn’t believe me. She thought I was making a fuss because I didn’t want to marry." Lin Xiaojing said bitterly.
"If Aunt Zhao Shuzhen doesn’t believe you, you could tell Uncle and Brother Qingya.
At worst, you could also tell our grandma. You are their own granddaughter; they won’t ignore you. Why would you even consider..."
Jumping into the river.
Lin Xiaojing understood the unspoken meaning behind Lin Tang’s words but didn’t know what to say.
At that time, she argued with her mother in the fields, felt that her mother simply didn’t care about her, and on a whim, she jumped in.
Now that she had calmed down, she also felt that she had been too impulsive.
"Do you believe I’m not lying?" Lin Xiaojing asked blankly, looking at Lin Tang.
Lin Tang looked as if it was a matter of course, saying, "You are my cousin, who else would I believe if not you? But what do you plan to do now?"
Lin Xiaojing also didn’t know what to do.
That family was coming over soon to formally propose, and she felt both fear and anger.
"...I don’t know."
"How can you not know?" Lin Tang’s delicate eyebrows knitted even tighter.
"Marriage is for life. If you marry a scoundrel, what joy will you have left?
In my opinion, Sister, you should tell Uncle and Brother Qingya about this. They won’t let you be wronged.
As for the marriage proposal, it hasn’t been finalized yet, what is there to fear?
Even if it has been finalized, you can still call off the engagement, what’s there to be afraid of?"
It’s not like modern times when you can easily get a divorce.
In these days, once you’re married, it’s for life.
If you dare to get a divorce, you’ll end up being pointed at for the rest of your life.
Since the marriage hasn’t taken place yet, why not deal with it? What are you waiting for?
"But, but..." Lin Xiaojing hesitated, unable to make up her mind.
"...I don’t want to trouble my father and brother. They’re already tired enough from work; I don’t want to bother them with these things."
Lin Tang was already frustrated, "..."
Not wanting to trouble the family, you’d rather marry a scoundrel?
Could you bear to leave your family behind and jump into the river?
Hearing the words of their daughter (sister) from outside the door, Lin Shou and Lin Qingya felt a piercing bitterness in their hearts.
They hadn’t done enough, which had left Xiaojing feeling terrified.
Lin Shou pushed aside the door curtain and entered the room.
Lin Qingya followed closely behind.
"...Dad, brother, when did you guys get here?"
Lin Xiaojing was startled to see them, clutching the blanket.
Her face, which had turned red from drinking a bowl of sugary water, suddenly went pale again.
Lin Qingya looked grim, gazing at his sister on the bed with a pained and dissatisfied tone.
"We’ve been here a while."
"Lin Xiaojing, what exactly do you take dad and me for? Why didn’t you tell us anything?"
"Would you rather jump into the river than trust dad and me to protect you?"
"Fine, even if you don’t trust dad and me, you could have gone to grandma and grandpa, why risk your life as a joke?"
As he spoke, his expression carried a rare seriousness.
