My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 97 annoyed the hell out of that Liu Family’s grandson
Chapter 97: 97 annoyed the hell out of that Liu Family’s grandson
"Liu Da Mei, are you going to spill the beans or not? If you’re not telling, we might as well just keep working; we haven’t finished today’s tasks yet."
"Yeah, could you stop keeping us in suspense? It’s really frustrating."
"If you really don’t know how to put it, just skip to the end; we won’t mind."
...
Liu Da Mei smiled awkwardly.
No, those first few lines, wasn’t she copying the storytelling old man? She’d run out of words for the rest.
She couldn’t make it up any longer!
Liu Da Mei regretted it a bit internally.
Had she known, she should have listened to the old man’s entire story.
It was her mother’s fault for calling her to pick wheat, so she hadn’t heard the whole thing.
She hadn’t caught the whole transition.
The people around her urged her on again.
That’s it!
All the tidbits in her head were gone.
"I’m talking, I’m talking."
"...then Liu Guohui touched that female comrade’s hand and got caught red-handed.
Since he wasn’t a formal worker, he was thrown out of the factory."
There wasn’t much by way of entertainment at that time.
Even such a piece of gossip could keep people talking for a long time.
The members of Shuang Shan Brigade didn’t mind Liu Da Mei’s dull storytelling, and they all felt instantly satisfied.
"So that’s how it is!"
"That female comrade must be quite the looker, to make Liu Guohui lose his senses."
"That’s work, after all; it’s so hard to come by. How can it just be gone like that? Doesn’t the Liu Family feel it’s a pity?"
"How could they not? The people of the Liu Family are probably in pain over it."
...
When Lin Fu arrived, he saw several usually diligent and active workers huddled together, whispering about something.
"What are you doing?"
"What are you all muttering about? Did everyone earn ten work points or what?"
"Haven’t you noticed what time it is? Do you want your points docked?"
Lin Fu’s tone was stern.
Those who had been gathered and talking felt guilty when they saw the brigade captain arrive.
The next second.
They scattered in all directions.
Having unintentionally stumbled upon a juicy piece of news, everyone worked with renewed vigor.
And because they had something on their minds, they couldn’t wait to finish their work and chat at the village entrance.
So—
Lin Fu saw the people he had scolded working with particular enthusiasm; they were bubbling with excitement.
Their eyes even shone with a kind of thrill.
Happier than slaughtering pigs on New Year’s.
Lin Fu: "..."
Did they all take the wrong medicine?
Unable to understand, Lin Fu went elsewhere to check.
At six o’clock in the afternoon. free𝑤ebnovel.com
The end-of-work whistle rang promptly.
Thanks to the eager spreading of the gossipmongers,
It didn’t take long.
Soon the entire brigade knew about Liu Guohui’s hooligan behavior and how he had been sent back to the village by the steel factory.
When Li Xiuli heard this news from Zhao Honghua, her jaw nearly dropped from surprise.
"What? Liu Guohui played the hooligan?" she said incredulously.
Zhou Mei also widened her eyes, her face full of excited schadenfreude.
It was obvious she took pleasure in others’ misfortune, not bothering to conceal it.
"Serves him right!"
"That toad Liu Guohui, looking like a pile of cow dung, and he had the nerve to call off a marriage with a young girl?"
"Pah! As if he’s worthy."
"A worker, huh? Oh hoho..."
After a weird round of laughter, she continued, "Guess his job flew away, oh hoho... It’s hilarious."
"My niece has just become an official, so this will surely infuriate that Liu Family punk."
Zhou Mei was extremely pleased with herself.
Her tired body felt neither backache nor leg pain anymore.
She even felt she could turn back and work another two acres of land.
Li Xiuli, Zhao Honghua, and Ning Xinrou were taken aback by her arrogant laughter.
What’s so funny?
She glanced at the mad younger daughter-in-law again with indescribable emotions.
Li Xiuli twitched her mouth and looked at Zhao Honghua, "Don’t bother with her. Where did you get this news?"
"Liu’s younger sister told me about it. It was quite detailed.
Apparently, a worker from her relative’s cafeteria in the steel factory mentioned it. I think it sounds true," Zhao Honghua replied.
"... This must be true, but don’t spread it around, or else Yang Chunfang will come looking for trouble with you."
She used to think Yang Chunfang was okay, straightforward, and generous.
Now she didn’t think so anymore.
That person’s heart wasn’t as broad as she thought.
Warmth brimmed in Zhao Honghua’s eyes as she smiled, "I know, I’ll just mention this to you once, and then I’ll forget about it."
Li Xiuli smiled, patted her shoulder, and the two parted ways.
On the way back,
Li Xiuli said to Zhou Mei:
"Younger daughter-in-law, don’t blab about what was said just now.
Lest the Liu Family gets on your case..."
Before she could finish, Zhou Mei reacted as if stung on the bottom, indignant, "Why why? The Liu family was so smug before!
Our family’s reputation has finally surpassed the Liu Family’s. Shouldn’t we kick them while they’re down, get them good?"
Ning Xinrou’s eyelids twitched fiercely as she listened to her sister-in-law’s talk of ’kicking them while they’re down’.
Li Xiuli couldn’t read and had never been schooled. She didn’t understand at all.
But she did understand the words "get them."
"Get what? The village gossip about Tangtang has just started to die down a little bit.
If you go stirring up this fire again, and Tangtang suffers for it, you might as well go back to the Zhou family!"
Her words were heavy.
Who knew—
Zhou Mei’s eyes lit up, her face inexplicably excited.
"Mom, can I really go back to my parents’ home for a few days? Can I bring the head of the household and the two little ones with me?"
Bringing the whole family back would undoubtedly mean eating her way through the basket of sweet potatoes she’d brought back.
Li Xiuli was caught off guard, stunned for a moment, then dissatisfied, "... only you may go back."
Zhou Mei’s expression immediately turned despondent.
"Then forget it."
"I won’t go back, I’ll just stay at the Lin family, I won’t go anywhere."
Ning Xinrou watched her mother-in-law and sister-in-law’s conversation veer off-topic, pinched the bridge of her nose, and laughed helplessly.
The woman’s beautiful brows and eyes, for a moment, blossomed like the first bloom of a red plum.
Caught in Lin Qingshan’s sight, she seemed like a goddess descending to earth, stirring his heartbeat like a drum.
It was like someone was stirring his heart with a stick, a feeling that took a long while to settle.
All he wanted was to work harder, even harder, to give his wife a better life.
Ning Xinrou felt a burning gaze sticking to her like glue.
She frowned and looked over; it was her child’s father.
The next second, the smile in her eyes became even more splendid and enchanting.
The three women of the Lin family, after using the moisturizing cream, had their skin improving day by day.
Not to mention Mother Li, just look at Ning Xinrou and Zhou Mei.
People in their twenties, who would still be considered young women in later times.
It was only the weathering from years of wind and sun that made them seem dull and dark.
With a little care, their appearances changed entirely.
Realizing this, Ning Xinrou, worried about attracting too much attention, went to find her mother-in-law and younger sister-in-law.
Lin Tang, understanding her elder sister-in-law’s intentions, gave them another box of stuff she had wiped down from the black market.
Ning Xinrou went back and tried it, applying it made her skin look not so fair anymore.
But upon close examination, one could see that the skin was plump, elastic, and full of vitality.
Zhou Mei was delighted to see her skin grow fairer.
Thinking about showing off when she got even fairer.
But holding back all the time.
Only to be suddenly told she couldn’t go out and flaunt it.
