My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 231’s waist got messed up.
Chapter 231: 231’s waist got messed up.
As she spoke, she touched the scarf around her neck, looking very smug.
"See this?"
"A scarf worth a few bucks, smooth and super comfortable, but that’s not important. The important thing is, don’t you guys think I’ve become a lot more stylish?"
Zhou Mei was only twenty-three this year, at the prime of her youth.
Her skin was fair with a rosy tinge, and with that bright yellow scarf tied, she really did look quite charming.
The young wives in the village grew even more envious.
"Did your sister-in-law buy it for you?"
Why did her own sister-in-law only try to pinch things from her hand?
"That must have cost a considerable sum? Moving into the Lin Family is no different from stepping into a fortune nest," another young wife, who got along well with Zhou Mei, remarked wistfully.
Some are indeed luckier than others!
Zhou Mei tilted her chin up, her brows and eyes full of self-satisfaction.
"That’s what I like to hear."
"It’s also because my sister-in-law knows how to show gratitude and act generously."
"I’m not boasting, but a sister-in-law like Tangtang is hard to find among a thousand others. My parents know how to raise kids; the Lin Family has great family values. You just watch, my son Hutou and my daughter Niuniu will have great prospects."
She complimented Lin Tang, praised her in-laws, and even mentioned her children.
She really knew how to talk.
The women in the village sneered, "With a sister-in-law like hers, how can Hutou and Niuniu not do well?"
Comparing people can really drive you to frustration.
There were those who didn’t get along well with the Lin Family and began to throw cold water on the conversation.
"Hutou and Niuniu still have a long way to go before they grow up; who knows what Lin Tang will be like once they’re adults? Thirty years can change a lot; don’t count your chickens before they hatch."
This person was exceedingly jealous of the Lin Family’s daughters-in-law.
Being women too, why should Ning Xinrou be valued by her in-laws and even get a job arranged for her? That was a formal job!
Ning Xinrou aside, since her looks and personality indeed made her deserving of good fortune.
But what about Zhou Mei, who was both stupid and gluttonous?
She got to eat well in her in-laws’ house, occasionally indulge in meat, and now even received gifts from her sister-in-law. It was infuriating!
Zhou Mei just laughed it off, too lazy to even get angry.
Flicking her short hair behind her ear, her eyes full of scorn.
"...Even if my family falls on hard times, at least for now we’re way better off than you, who can only be bitter!"
"My family can afford to eat meat, what about yours?"
"My family can wear new clothes, what about yours?"
"My family employs three workers, and might have even more in the future, how many does yours have?"
Her words were sharp as needles.
Each sentence pierced the heart.
The young wife, who was eager to be slapped in the face, felt a pain in her chest from the anger.
She glared fiercely at Zhou Mei.
What could she say?
Her own family indeed couldn’t afford meat or new clothes, and they didn’t have any workers.
Damn it, Zhou Mei had no humanity!
Zhou Mei calmly crossed her arms and waited, just waiting for the person to retort a few more times so she could come back at her with greater force.
But unexpectedly—
The woman simply packed up the half-finished shoe pad in her hands and went home.
Zhou Mei watched the woman’s retreating figure, her mouth twitching.
No capacity to be unpleasant at all!
Others showed no surprise whatsoever.
Talking bad about the Lin Family, getting off without Zhou Mei smacking them in the face was already lucky.
Back when Lin Tang was unemployed, someone who gossiped about the young girl ended up with a scratched face from Zhou Mei, let alone now.
-
At the Lin Family, everyone tried on the clothes.
Ning Xinrou emerged in new clothes, tall and slender, with beautiful features and a gentle, elegant demeanor.
Lin Qingshan gazed at his wife, his eyes glued to her.
Lin Tang, seeing the way her sister-in-law looked, exclaimed with sparkling eyes, "Sister-in-law, you look so beautiful in this outfit."
Ning Xinrou’s face turned red from the compliment.
Feeling her husband’s heated gaze, the blush on her face spread to her neck.
She gave Lin Qingshan a coquettish glare, motioning for him to be more mindful, and handed a cloth bag to Lin Tang. free𝑤ebnovel.com
"Tangtang, this is the Bragi I made for you. You can wear it once the weather gets warmer," Ning Xinrou said.
Bragi, a garment from the Provincial City, was something every young woman working at the Garment Factory coveted.
Ever since she saw a Bragi, she had wanted to make a couple for Tangtang.
She had just finished making them last night.
Lin Tang took it over, her face alight with surprise.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
She opened the cloth bag and saw a checkered fabric, with a peter-pan collar and long sleeves, the skirt length reaching the calves—youthful and pretty.
Ning Xinrou’s face showed a touch of gentle smile as she shook her head, "Compared to what you do for the family, what I’ve done is not enough."
The work at the Garment Factory wasn’t too tiring, and a month’s wages were more than what one could earn from farming for a year.
Lin Tang was thinking about the bicycle matter, so she did not immediately try on the clothes.
"Sister-in-law, I have great news to tell you, you’ll be able to come home every day!"
Lin Qingshan was taken aback and asked, "Tangtang, why do you say that?"
He and his wife had a very good relationship; naturally, he didn’t want to live apart.
Lin Tang pointed towards the bicycle nearby, her eyes smiling as she looked at her brother and sister-in-law.
"We have a bicycle now! If sister-in-law doesn’t mind the trouble, you could just live at home and let brother take you to work every day."
Ning Xinrou was surprised, "...Did you buy this bicycle?"
To just buy it like that? Don’t you need to save up money, don’t you need to find someone to exchange tickets for you?
"Mhm," Lin Tang nodded.
Lin Lu and Li Xiuli were flabbergasted for a moment but quickly snapped out of it.
"Our family has a bicycle again?" The couple swallowed.
It wasn’t that they hadn’t seen much of the world; it was just that this was too quick, wasn’t it?
Didn’t the family just get a big radio not too long ago, and now there was a bicycle too?
Were bicycles so easy to buy now?
Lin Tang said calmly, "I’d saved some money, and I just happened to have the tickets so I bought it."
The Lin family was at a loss for words.
For someone capable, buying a big item was as easy as buying a needle.
They always knew their daughter (sister) was capable, but they had no idea she was this capable!
Listening to Lin Tang’s calm words, Lin Lu choked on his saliva a few times.
After wiping his face, he turned to Lin Qingshan and Ning Xinrou and asked, "What do you think? Are you willing to commute every day?"
If they weren’t willing, then the daughter could ride the bicycle back to the county; the family had no use for it anyway.
Ning Xinrou gave Lin Qingshan a sharp look and subtly rubbed her sore lower back.
"Since little sister has bought the bicycle, then I will come back every day."
Coming home every ten to fifteen days meant her back would have to suffer every few days; she was truly scared of that.
Lin Qingshan’s expression brightened, his voice full of laughter.
"Wife, I’ll take you."
Not wanting Lin Tang to be at a loss, Ning Xinrou took the initiative, "Tangtang, the bicycle was bought for the family; you shouldn’t be the only one paying. Your brother and I will contribute half."
Lin Qingshui, who had been touching the family’s new bicycle, also turned his head.
"Sister-in-law is right; the second branch will contribute too," he said, scratching his head with a somewhat awkward expression.
"But your second brother and I don’t have much saved up right now. Let’s keep track of it, and we’ll give it to you once we have enough," he said.
Lin Tang didn’t refuse; siblings’ relationships shouldn’t be based on one-sided giving.
"Okay! I’ll be waiting."
Seeing that she didn’t decline, Lin Qingshui relaxed, his whole body easing up.
"Little sister, where did you buy this bicycle? How much did it cost?" he asked with a smile.
