My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 152: It’s not okay even after the 7th day of the funeral!
Chapter 152: It’s not okay even after the 7th day of the 152 funeral!
She looked at Lin Qingmu and immediately started blame shifting right on the spot.
"It’s not Tangtang’s fault for not saying it earlier, blame your dad if you have to."
Otherwise, they should have known by now.
Lin Lu was speechless: "..." The way you put it, it’s like I did it on purpose.
How could the three Lin brothers dare to blame their old man?
They quickly provided a way out for the head of the family.
"It’s all because bicycles are just too much fun!"
"Who can stay sober in front of a bicycle?! Totally normal, totally normal!"
"Whether you know early or late, it’s all the same, no big deal, no big deal!"
...
Lin Tang didn’t know yet that her manuscript had been reported and that the manuscript fee had already been sent, but her dad had forgotten about it.
After she finished delivering glutinous rice dumplings, she was on her way back.
Just as she rounded the corner, passing by the brigade’s junkyard, a figure suddenly sprang out.
Lin Tang reacted instinctively, swinging her arm in a strike.
The figure let out a wail.
Directly sent flying one meter.
"... Ah, Lin Tang have you lost your mind, it’s me."
Recognizing the voice as Liu Guohui, Lin Tang asked with a cold expression, "What do you want?"
If she hadn’t held back her strength, that person might have ended up with broken bones from her punch.
Liu Guohui lay on the ground, his eyes revealing a hint of displeasure.
Pushing himself up, holding his waist.
His demeanor changed in an instant, adopting an indulgent and gentle attitude.
"Tangtang..." Liu Guohui called out as if he were doting on her.
Lin Tang shuddered, her face showing an expression as if she had seen a ghost.
She quickly cut off his words.
"Please call me Comrade Lin."
"Liu Comrade, you’ve attended school for a few years, there’s no way you only learned to be shameless.
Aren’t we strangers? You calling me Tangtang, who gave you the right?
Keep being so nauseating, and I might really beat you up!"
What’s all this ’Tangtang’ business? Is it up to Liu Guohui to call me that?
I’m almost throwing up dumplings, yuck...
Liu Guohui’s complexion turned from green to purple.
He managed to force a smile.
"Comrade Lin." He changed his address, smiling and saying, "Could I trouble you for a moment? I have something I need your help with."
Lin Tang rolled her eyes, "... You’re already wasting my time, okay?"
Just talking nonsense!
Not wanting to deal with Liu Guohui’s monologue, Lin Tang attempted to pass by him to go home.
But who knew.
Liu Guohui swiftly stepped forward, blocking her path.
Lin Tang glanced at him coolly, her hands crossed and cracking.
Somehow, Liu Guohui felt a chill to the bone, shrinking back a step involuntarily.
As if being pointed at by a knife.
His heart went cold.
Lin... Lin Tang, was she planning to silence him?!?!
"You you you, what are you trying to do?" Liu Guohui stammered in fear.
Lin Tang looked at the little scaredy-cat named Liu and suddenly burst into laughter.
Why had he suddenly become so cowardly?
He had been so arrogant when calling off the engagement.
Lin Tang’s eyes were teasing, as she scoffed.
"I say, did you come here to be funny?"
"Isn’t it you who’s stopping me? What do you mean what am I trying to do?
You’re a grown man half a head taller than me, what are you scared of!"
Liu Guohui thought about it and realized it too, suppressing that odd feeling from just now.
"Who... who’s scared." He said with feigned bravery.
After that, he spoke straight to the point.
"... I need your help with something."
Liu Guohui’s eyes fixed on Lin Tang, waiting for her to ask what it was.
In his heart, he believed Lin Tang surely wouldn’t refuse him.
Lin Tang furrowed her brows, three black lines even breaking out across her forehead.
"What?" She was confused.
Liu Guohui repeated himself, "I need a favor from you."
Before Lin Tang could refuse him, he continued, "I heard you’ve become a clerk at the Cotton Textile Factory. I was hoping you could inquire about the hiring situation in the county for me..."
He hadn’t finished speaking.
Lin Tang waved her hand to cut him off.
"Who gave you the confidence to think I would help you?" Lin Tang gave a cold laugh, her tone laden with sarcasm.
Liu Guohui seemed either foolish or deaf, completely dismissing her attitude.
Instead, he went on:
"Why won’t you help me? You’re a clerk now. How could it be a problem to give me a hand?"
Question marks popped up on Lin Tang’s face once again.
"What kind of dream are you having? Whether I’m a clerk or a factory director, what does that have to do with you?
The Lin Family still has so many people without jobs. It’s not your turn, someone with no relation to the Liu Family, to come barking up my tree. You must be out of your mind.
Even if I really could help you, why should I?
Having known you for so long, I thought you, Liu Guohui, had some pride. Turns out you’re just another one with a thick face..."
She didn’t say many insulting words, but the contempt was laced in every gap between them.
Liu Guohui’s face turned green on hearing her.
However, the Liu Guohui of today no longer had the luxury of being capricious.
Liu Guohui struggled to keep his breath, taking a deep inhalation.
"Are you still angry with me?"
"If you’re still angry about me calling off the engagement, why don’t I just have my parents propose to your family again? That should settle it, right?"
Lin Tang: "?!"
"You must be having a hysteria attack. I suggest you go to the hospital to have your brain checked."
With that said,
Not wishing to waste more time, Lin Tang turned her body, ready to head home.
Talking with someone who speaks only to himself is a sheer waste of saliva.
Not having received a positive response, Liu Guohui naturally wouldn’t let Lin Tang leave easily.
He ran in front of her.
Spreading his arms, he blocked her way once more.
"Do you agree or not?"
He didn’t wait for Lin Tang to reply but continued to prattle on.
"I have experience as a worker. If you give me a chance, you won’t regret it.
Eventually, we could even get engaged again and be a loving couple at the factory.
I can fetch water for you, get meals for you, and protect you. Isn’t that great?
You’re from the countryside, a lone person in the factory susceptible to being pushed around by anyone.
But with a partner, it’s different. I would definitely protect you well.
Plus, my family has split up,
Once we’re married and have children, my mom can look after them, and my dad can earn a living. I guarantee you won’t be mistreated.
What do you say? If you agree, I’ll go and propose tomorrow."
In his heart, he felt his words were especially sincere, also combining with his real-life experience as a temporary worker.
There was no reason for Lin Tang not to agree.
Had she been a girl born and raised locally, she might have been moved.
Lin Tang was not only unmoved, she even felt an urge to laugh.
"...Oh," she replied noncommittally.
The Liu Family had split up? That was new to her and sounded quite intriguing.
Liu Guohui’s expression brightened, a glint of hope in his eyes.
"You agree with what I said? So I can go and propose tomorrow, can’t I?"
He just knew Lin Tang still had feelings for him.
Thinking this, a smug look crossed Liu Guohui’s face.
Lin Tang’s face was the epitome of reluctance as she promptly shook her head.
She even stepped back a few paces.
Fearing she might be misunderstood by this self-absorbed and gullible man as being interested in him.
"Agree with you, my foot! Even if you’ve been dead for a week, it still wouldn’t be okay!"
Lin Tang rolled her eyes, clicking her tongue in a show of fake sympathy.
"...So you had it rough at the iron and steel factory, huh? Looks like anyone could step on you, pitiful creature.
You’re really down on your luck for ending up in such a shoddy factory.
The Cotton Textile Factory I’m in, though, the food’s good, the benefits are great, and the workers are of the highest quality.
There’s no one who bullies or even curses at others."
