My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 94: The cute kids were upset to tears
Chapter 94: The 94 cute kids were upset to tears
The four little ones at home saw the family return.
They crowded around Lin Tang in a rush.
Without asking, they just gazed at her with puppy dog eyes.
Niuniu twisted her little body and clung to Lin Tang’s thigh.
Her eyes were as black and bright as black crystals.
When she looked up at you, she was unbelievably cute.
Lin Tang took out the Peach Crisp, and the little ones’ dark eyes gleamed like light bulbs.
They followed her hand with their gaze, faces drooling, looking incredibly adorable.
Just then, Niuniu’s and Choudan’s stomachs grumbled in unison.
"...gurgle...gurgle gurgle..."
The two children froze for a moment when they heard the noise.
After realizing what it was, their faces turned bright red.
Niuniu even buried her face in Lin Tang’s leg.
The three Lin brothers also heard it.
Lin Qingshan, now a father, knew to spare the little ones some embarrassment.
But Lin Qingmu, eternally single,
burst into laughter immediately.
"Hahaha, hic...
The way Niuniu’s and Choudan’s stomachs grumbled was just too funny.
Did you two plan this together? It’s hilarious."
His insensitive remark slipped out.
Lin Tang felt the little girl clinging to her leg stiffen.
The next second, Niuniu began to sob softly.
The little girl who loved beauty and took pride in her appearance was upset to tears by some thoughtless uncle.
Lin Tang hurried to comfort her,
"Niuniu, don’t cry, your uncle is mean, let’s ignore him.
Your auntie won’t give him any Peach Crisp to eat, we’ll punish him with an empty stomach, okay? Stop crying now."
The little girl was so embarrassed by her uncle’s loud laughter that she couldn’t even lift her head, even with the bribe of Peach Crisp,
continuing to cry with soft whimpers.
Lin Tang didn’t know what to do.
She pretended to be angry, "Big brother, look at what you’ve done. You’re an adult, how can you make Niuniu cry?"
The unmarried big brother was indeed childish.
While Lin Qingmu felt awkward, he was also being glared at by his elder brother.
It was as if he had swallowed a bitter pill.
His niece was indeed delicate, not at all like the rough Goudan.
Lin Tang ignored her brother’s pitiable look and continued consoling Niuniu.
"Niuniu, don’t cry, if you keep crying, you won’t be pretty..."
Before she could finish, the little girl’s tearful complaints stopped abruptly.
Lifting her wet, tear-stained face, she looked at her.
"No! I want to be as pretty as my auntie."
Lin Qingmu glanced at his niece’s plump, healthy little face, wanting to laugh again.
He thought to himself, if Niuniu wished to be as pretty as Tangtang, that might be a tall order.
After all, she took after her mother.
Though also lovely, she was just that—lovely.
Turning into a delicate face full of spirit, like her aunt’s, would be difficult.
He had never seen a girl prettier than Tangtang growing up.
Lin Qingmu suppressed his laughter.
Turning his head, he saw his second brother also trying to hold back a smile.
His expression was that of a doting father watching his daughter... full of tenderness.
Was it because his daughter was so adorable?
Or did he really think Niuniu’s dream might come true?
Lin Tang never expected Niuniu to say such a thing, and she was taken aback.
Before she could respond, Goudan seriously chimed in,
"Niuniu and auntie are both beautiful."
As he spoke, he nodded his head to affirm his words.
His gaze was so sincere that it left no room for doubt.
Hutou and Choudan also nodded in agreement, praising as if they had joined a complimenting group, lavishing rainbow-striped flattery.
"Both are beautiful, more than anyone in the village."
"The most beautiful for sure, both auntie and Niuniu are like fairies."
Niuniu, cheered a little by the praises from her brothers and little brother,
But still, she wasn’t satisfied.
Longing eyes stared intently at Lin Tang.
Just waiting for her reply.
Lin Tang smiled helplessly.
Then, like a magician, she took out a red hair accessory with a butterfly knot.
"Beautiful, Niuniu is the most beautiful. Look what this is?"
Niuniu took the hair accessory, looked at it back and forth, her face brimming with joy.
The little girl’s eyes shone as she looked at her young aunt, her voice clear and soft.
"What’s this?"
Lin Tang stroked Niuniu’s little nose, softly saying, "This is a hair accessory, used for tying your hair. Do you like it?"
Children all love brightly-colored things.
Niuniu was no different.
She looked at the hair accessory, so happy that she couldn’t contain herself.
After a while, she handed it back to Lin Tang.
She turned around, her back facing her.
Lin Tang was a bit puzzled.
Goudan reminded her from the side, "Young auntie, Niuniu wants you to help her tie her hair."
After saying that, his little short legs carried him to the house, fetched a comb, and ran back out.
"Young auntie, here’s the comb for you."
"Oh." Lin Tang silently took it.
In those times, people were malnourished, so their hair was mostly yellowish, dry, and coarse. freewebnσvel.cøm
Niuniu’s hair quality was not good either.
Her hair was yellow and sparse, looking as undernourished as she was.
Once she started working, she would get some food for the family.
By then, she would just say she’d gotten it from swapping with classmates.
That way, her parents and brothers wouldn’t suspect that she had gone to the black market, right?
Niuniu waited for a while, felt no movement, and turned her head toward Lin Tang.
"...Auntie?"
"Oh, oh, I’m going to do it right now." Lin Tang quickly snapped back to reality.
In the orphanage of that other world, Lin Tang had learned various crafts and had to take care of children younger than herself, acquiring many skills.
For her, tying hair was a trivial matter.
Niuniu’s hair was soft and sparse, and not very long.
Lin Tang tied her hair into a cute little tuft.
Against her already adorable little face, she looked even more endearing.
"All done!" Lin Tang said.
Niuniu’s eyes curved into crescent moons with joy.
The little girl first looked at Goudan, "Big brother, does Niuniu look pretty?"
Goudan, though young, was much smarter than their Uncle Three who wasn’t very good at reading people’s emotions.
He immediately nodded, "Pretty, very pretty, especially pretty."
Niuniu was delighted.
She giggled and hopped off towards the kitchen.
"Grandma, auntie, mom..."
Before she arrived, her voice already reached inside.
Zhou Mei heard the voice and glanced towards the door.
Her eyes locked onto the hair accessory on her daughter’s head.
Her eyes lit up, and she wiped her hands on herself.
She walked over happily and said, "Why are you wearing a flower in your hair? It was your young auntie who gave it to you, right?
You’re still young, so mom will keep this hair accessory for you. When you grow up, you can wear it..."
She was speaking when her hand already reached out to Niuniu’s head.
The little girl was startled.
She quickly shielded her head and cried out to her grandmother, "...Wahhh, I don’t want to, Grandma, Niuniu wants to wear the flower."
She began to tattle the moment she spoke.
Li Xiuli glared at Zhou Mei, scolding, "Second son’s wife, can’t you be a little more dignified?
You even covet something your sister-in-law gave to your daughter. Why don’t you just take to the heavens?
Is that thing meant for you, that you are reaching for it?
Is Niuniu your daughter or not? Why must you make her cry to be happy..."
When the mother-in-law lost her temper, Zhou Mei’s hand instantly retracted.
She awkwardly explained, "...Of course Niuniu is my daughter, my own dear daughter. Grandma, you know that.
And what do you mean by saying I’m coveting my daughter’s things?
Am I coveting them? I’m just keeping them safe for a while, and when Niuniu grows up, I will..."
In the meantime, letting her, the mother, wear it for a while couldn’t be too bad, could it?
