My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 86: The Man Behind

Lin Xiaojing, questioned by her own brother, cried with tears falling pitter-patter.

She truly sobbed uncontrollably, looking utterly disheveled.

Lin Shou felt terrible watching his daughter cry her eyes out.

He walked over and, with his large rough hand, gently rubbed the top of her head.

"Dad only has you and your brother, losing either of you would be like losing half my heart.

Dad knows you’ve been wronged over the years, but I’ve always been trying to make it up to you!

What can’t you tell dad?

In my eyes, both you and your brother are my children, I can’t bear to lose either of you.

Your brother and Tangtang are right, if you don’t want to tell the people of our Lin Family’s third household,

there are so many others in the Lin Family who would care.

Nothing is worth trading your life for!"

Lin Shou had always been a simple and quiet rural man, mostly focused on working hard.

He had never spoken so much before.

And he rarely had such tender moments with his daughter.

Once he opened up his heart, Lin Xiaojing deeply felt she was loved.

She wiped her tears clean.

Looking at Lin Shou and Lin Qingya, she smiled with tears in her eyes,

provoking an inexplicable heartache.

"Dad, brother, I’m sorry, I know I was wrong.

I won’t do anything foolish from now on and won’t keep things from you either.

Please forgive me this time."

Lin Xiaojing, seeing the exhaustion and worry on her father and brother, felt very regretful.

Lin Qingya, looking at his sister’s pale face, felt his anger dissipate.

His tone also softened considerably.

"You just have to stop being so rash, and don’t worry about the matchmaking anymore. I’ll take care of it for you.

Stay with grandma for a few more days, get your health back, then you can go home."

In the next few days, they would definitely have to change their mother’s point of view.

Lin Tang had a meal at the old mansion.

Seeing that Lin Xiaojing wasn’t seriously ill, he went back home.

"Tangtang, your Sister Xiaojing is all right, isn’t she?" Lin Lu asked with concern.

"She’s fine now, Uncle Three and Qingya brother have both talked to her.

She has seen the light and won’t do anything foolish anymore."

Lin Lu let out a sigh of relief, "That’s good, that’s good."

"Oh, by the way, I have a letter for you. The comrade who delivered it said it was sent from the Provincial City, take a look."

He handed the letter to Lin Tang.

Lin Tang was somewhat surprised.

She couldn’t guess where this letter had come from in the moment.

It didn’t seem right that she would receive a reply to her submissions so quickly.

And, the envelope was quite large and thick.

It didn’t seem to contain just one letter.

She felt there was something off about this letter.

Holding the envelope in her hand, she said to her dad, "Dad, I’m tired, I’m going to my room."

"Oh, if you’re tired, go get some rest in your room."

Lin Lu didn’t think much of it and continued with his work.

Lin Tang went to her room and opened the envelope.

Indeed, there was more than one letter inside.

Seeing the first letter, she felt the handwriting looked familiar.

She skimmed through the content speedily.

The smile on Lin Tang’s face completely vanished.

A trace of chilliness tinged her eyes and brows.

Then, she read through the letters one by one.

Anger built up in her heart, her fingers tightening slightly until the envelopes crumpled into tiny balls.

This is too much!

One is outwardly respectable; the other has unscrupulous methods.

Reading the words in the letters that treated her acceptance notice as an item for sale, Lin Tang’s expression turned cold.

These people really thought they were untouchable, treating others like toys to be played with.

Did they truly believe that a slightly higher social status meant they could act lawlessly?

The mere thought that this might be the Principal’s usual behavior,

made Lin Tang wish she could wring his neck.

For his own benefit, that man had used other people’s achievements, especially those of children who earnestly wished to leave the countryside and attend a university, to curry favor with others, which was truly enraging.

At that moment, Lin Tang remembered the letters she had sent out last year.

Every single one had vanished without a trace, leaving no response.

It seems that the colluding forces behind this are not ordinary at all.

And these letters in her hands...

The addresses seem to have been sent from the Provincial City.

Could the sender be that top official’s staunch rival, always mindful of his own reputation?

Or perhaps they’re just using her as a pawn?

Whether she’s a pawn or not doesn’t matter anymore.

Because she truly needed this evidence.

It’s just that she needed to think carefully about what to do next.

Thinking of the letter she had sent to the newspaper, Lin Tang had an idea.

Her first course of action: wait.

Having evidence alone wasn’t enough...

If she was going to stir things up,

she might as well turn the world upside down.

Suddenly, a thin, soft cry of a child came from the courtyard.

"Wu wu wu..." Niuniu was wiping her tears, her face full of grievance.

Her small, dark face was covered in tears.

Crying, she hiccupped.

"...Hiccup..."

Goudan was comforting her on the side, "There, there, stop crying. Brother will avenge you tomorrow.

Or else, when Granny comes back, I’ll ask her to give you another piece of Peach Crisp."

The crying noises from Niuniu stopped.

Her eyes, watery, gazed straight at Goudan, "...Really?"

Goudan, seeing his sister who had been crying all the way finally stop, heaved a big sigh of relief.

"Really, really, I’m not deceiving you."

He was truly afraid.

Before he could fully relax,

Hutou and Choudan clung to his legs.

"Brother, I want one too."

"...I want one too."

Goudan looked down and met two eager little faces.

Instantly, an unspeakable pressure filled his heart.

Everyone wants one, right? He wanted one too.

Lin Tang heard the noise and opened the window.

Hearing the children’s words, she couldn’t help but laugh.

The anger that had been lodged in her chest was dispelled by the children’s innocent chatter.

When Goudan looked up, he saw his little aunt.

He took Niuniu and Choudan by the hand and walked toward Lin Tang’s room.

"...Little Aunt." The kids greeted with a smile.

Niuniu was still feeling wronged.

As soon as she entered the room, she hugged Lin Tang’s legs.

"What’s wrong with Niuniu? Why have you turned into a little calico cat?" Lin Tang rubbed the child’s soft hair and asked with a smile.

Before Goudan could speak, Hutou was the first to say, "Niuniu’s Peach Crisp was stolen!"

Lin Tang raised an eyebrow, "Stolen by whom? How was it stolen?"

Goudan looked ashamed, gazing at her with guilty eyes.

"Niuniu’s Peach Crisp was taken by Mao Dou."

Actually—

Li Xiuli had given half a Peach Crisp to each of the four little ones in the morning.

The kids didn’t have the heart to eat it all at once.

They ate half and planned to eat the other half at noon.

After lunch, when the adults were resting in the room,

Goudan was playing at the door with his siblings and a few other children from the village.

The three kids from the neighboring Qi Family were also there.

Qi Dafa’s five-year-old grandson, Mao Dou, saw the Peach Crisp in Niuniu’s hand, and his eyes couldn’t move away from it.

Unruly drool dripped down his chin.

The little guy knew it was wrong to ask outright, so he pulled out the wild fruit his father had given him.

In his childish voice, he started to make a trade.

"Niuniu, I’ll trade my fruit for your Peach Crisp, okay?

Look, my fruit is so red and big.

If you let me have a bite of your Peach Crisp, I’ll give you this sweet fruit."

While the two toddlers were talking, Goudan was taking care of Choudan and Hutou and wasn’t looking their way.

So he didn’t notice that someone was coveting his sister’s Peach Crisp.
