My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 125 seems to be ready to pull out the knife.

"You’re talking about Heizi," Lin Aiguo chuckled, "He’s my buddy from the Jianming brigade."

"Is it that Jianming brigade that failed at pig raising?" Lin Tang inquired.

Lin Aiguo took a second to react, then nodded, "Yes, that brigade."

"It’s precisely because of the pig-raising failure that they have to try all means to make money."

Lin Tang nodded slightly, then quickly changed the topic.

"Brother Aiguo, try to avoid the black market as much as possible in the future."

Lin Aiguo sensed something amiss from Lin Tang’s words, "...Is something going to happen to the black market?"

Actually, he had noticed it too.

Lately, the atmosphere at the black market had tightened.

The people involved had all become on edge, as if alarmed at every gust of wind.

It looked quite ominous.

With Tangtang’s subtle hint, he immediately caught on.

All were regulars at the black market, slippery as eels and incredibly alert!

Lin Tang hadn’t expected her cousin to be so astute, her eyes filled with admiration.

"Right, there’s something off about it, so Brother Aiguo, better hold off for now," she said.

She had felt something was wrong when she went to the black market to sell the watch.

This morning, she noticed a bunch of people from the county wandering around as if they were searching for something.

When she got to the factory, she overheard a few people whispering about black market issues.

Then she knew she wasn’t overthinking it.

The authorities were probably going to take action against the black market.

Lin Aiguo knew Tangtang meant well for him, and he wouldn’t be ungrateful. He immediately said, "Okay, I’ll listen to you."

Lin Tang breathed a sigh of relief.

If she could persuade Brother Aiguo, her uncle wouldn’t have to worry about him all the time. freeweɓnøvel.com

Thinking it over, she subtly hinted at the possibility of the brigade starting a factory.

"Brother Aiguo, work hard, our village might be able to start a factory in the future!"

A glint of excitement flashed in Lin Aiguo’s eyes as he stared at her and asked, "Does Tangtang know something?"

Lin Tang pursed her lips with a demure smile, her gaze innocent, her face naive as she said:

"What could I possibly know? I just believe that anything is possible, and the brigade’s future won’t be bleak."

She was confident that the Sauce Factory would be established, but the exact timing was uncertain, and it wasn’t good to speak outright about it yet.

Lin Aiguo ruffled Lin Tang’s hair with a helpless smile.

"...You’re just keeping me on tenterhooks," he said wistfully.

After expressing this sentiment,

his tone abruptly shifted.

"If we could really start a factory, that’d be great. Not to eat meat at every meal like Tang Kairui’s family, but just to be full would be enough."

"Speaking of Tang Kairui’s family, you probably don’t know yet, but they donated their house to the brigade.

The whole family moved into a dilapidated house at the entrance of the village and will have to earn work points together with the brigade’s members from now on.

Tsk... I heard it was because Tang Kairui felt cursed by that house!

I don’t know the specifics, I just think their family is foolish to believe in such feudal superstitions...

That was a brick house! To donate it just like that, I definitely would have found it hard to part with," Lin Aiguo said with a look of pity.

Building a brick house would cost at least a couple hundred yuan, right?

With the size of the Tangs’ house, it must have been about four or five hundred?

Lin Tang’s gaze flickered slightly when she heard this news.

"A brick house is hard for anyone to part with!

But then again, ’to give is to receive.’ You need to let go before you can gain.

Maybe by giving up material possessions, they can acquire something more important."

Parting with a brick house to ensure peace in the coming times seemed a worthwhile trade to her.

Right now, they could afford to let go.

In a year or two, those spacious and bright brick houses would become a death knell.

That the Tang family reacted so quickly was beyond Lin Tang’s expectations.

Even more unexpected was that Tang Kairui was able to persuade his family to give up the enviable life coveted by everyone in the village.

In fact, Lin Tang had a role in the Tang family’s decision to blend in among the brigade’s members.

She learned from her three brothers that Tang Kairui had testified on her behalf, making the normally stubborn Wang Zhaodi accept the punishment without protest.

She noted this act of kindness in her heart.

Therefore, she had her third brother discreetly send a letter to Tang Kairui.

The letter read:

"Sometimes being too novel or different not only attracts envy, but more seriously, it can leave behind terrible hidden dangers."

Lin Tang didn’t write anything extra.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to, but that she couldn’t.

Fortunately, the outcome was good.

Thus, so it was.

That there could be a good outcome in the future too.

Lin Aiguo leaned leisurely against the back of the chair, his expression less than approving.

"What’s this about being willing or unwilling? I only know that one should look after one’s own things, and there’s nothing wrong with that."

Lin Tang didn’t argue, but said with a smile, "You’re not wrong to think that way."

It’s just that the Tang family’s living conditions are too conspicuous...

Lin Aiguo didn’t speak again.

He stood up to check the doors and windows of the house, then instructed,

"Tangtang, remember not to respond if you hear noises outside in the future.

You’re living alone, safety comes first."

The thought of her just opening the door and letting him and Heizi inside made Lin Aiguo’s heart twitch with fear.

What if they had been bad people?

A delicate little girl couldn’t possibly overpower a burly man.

Lin Tang nodded obediently, "I know, I only went to open the door today because I heard your voice."

Lin Aiguo gave her a serious look.

Seeing the sincere expression on the young girl’s face, not like she was lying, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, Heizi and I will be leaving now, you should go to sleep early, you have to work tomorrow."

As he spoke, he walked towards the door.

Lin Tang followed him and asked, "Are you heading back to the brigade now?"

"Yeah, otherwise my dad, your Uncle, would break my legs," Lin Aiguo joked.

"Uncle wouldn’t bear to lay a hand on you!" Lin Tang said.

The youngest son was the old man’s treasure, how could he possibly bear to hit him?

"You! You have a sharp eye," Lin Aiguo said with a sigh.

There’s probably little about the family and its affairs that could escape Tangtang’s watchful eyes.

After seeing off her cousin and his friend, Lin Tang closed the yard door and went to the kitchen, planning to tidy up the pots and pans.

Upon entering and checking.

The pots were clean, and everything was neatly arranged.

This behavior had the simplicity of those times!

Seeing there was nothing to do, she was about to leave when she noticed the money pressed under an object on the stove.

Forty cents and a jin of grain ration coupon.

More generous than a meal at the state-run restaurant.

Lin Tang picked up the money, smiling helplessly.

"...Truly sincere."

What was wrong with her, as a sister, inviting her brother and his friend for a bowl of noodles?!

Way too formal.

-

A week had passed by the time Qin Suqing returned from her business trip.

The group left the train station, and it was already half-past seven.

By that time, the sky had darkened.

Qin Suqing was the only female comrade from the Purchase Department of the factory who went on the trip.

Seeing that it was getting late, her male colleagues, feeling concerned, escorted her to her doorstep.

Feng Hui worked at the hospital, where overtime was the norm.

Amid the dim light, spotting the familiar figure of her daughter, her face lit up with joy.

"Qingqing, you’re back."

No sooner had she finished speaking than her expression changed dramatically.

"...You came back alone?" her tone laden with worry.

Ever since her daughter had nearly been abducted, Feng Hui had been on tenterhooks.

Seeing that it was already dark and Qingqing was coming home alone, her fears intensified.
