My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 146 Start knocking on the door without a word (additional updates)
Chapter 146: 146 Start knocking on the door without a word (additional updates)
Lin Qingshui was momentarily stunned before he cleared his throat.
"I have learned it, but not completely."
Zhou Mei looked puzzled. "What do you mean?"
To learn is to learn, not to learn is not to learn.
What does it mean to have learned but not completely learned?!
Lin Qingshui replied, "My eyes have learned it, but my body is still not sure if it knows how."
Once he said that, Zhou Mei understood.
She looked at Lin Qingmu, "Third brother, let your second brother try riding it."
What she was thinking was, if the head of the household learned, and once they had a bicycle at home, she could be taken to her parents’ house.
At that time, hehe...
In the Lin Family, women held the highest status.
Even if Zhou Mei was a bit of an oddball, she was still the second sister-in-law, and Lin Qingmu respected her.
Hearing his second sister-in-law speak, Lin Qingmu gave the bicycle to Lin Qingshui.
"Second brother, you try, I’ll help you balance."
Lin Qingshui didn’t decline; he grasped the handlebars tightly.
He looked back at Lin Qingshan and Lin Qingmu.
"Big brother, Qingmu, help me with this. Don’t let me damage someone else’s bike."
Lin Qingmu had an expression of casual confidence.
"Second brother, don’t worry, we are here; the bike won’t fall."
He and his big brother had it all figured out.
Lin Qingshui: "..."
Even though this bicycle was more valuable than he was, only caring about the bike and not him felt a bit off, didn’t it?
Hutou and Niuniu, who were whispering to their friends, saw their dad preparing to ride and excitedly started clapping their hands.
"Dad is awesome, Dad is riding a bike!" Niuniu’s laughter was like the tinkling of silver bells.
Hutou lifted his head proudly. frёeωebɳovel.com
"See that? That’s my dad. My dad is going to learn to ride a bike soon, and then Niuniu and I can ride it."
The little guy was as proud as a big white goose.
The village kids were green with envy.
Some clueless ones ran to their family members to whine.
"Dad, Dad, Hutou’s dad is going to learn to ride a bike, you learn too! I want to ride too."
As soon as these words were out, they were impatiently brushed aside by their fathers.
"Go away, go away, stop annoying me. I’m already dead tired, and you’re still nagging.
Who wouldn’t want to ride a bicycle? Is that something people in our village can do?
I even want to drive a big truck, can I afford that?
Such big dreams!
I don’t expect you to become anyone significant, just don’t embarrass me..."
The man who spoke disparaged his son with his words, but his eyes were fixated on Lin Qingshui’s movements.
He didn’t miss a single detail.
Learn first with the eyes; whether one can actually ride or not can be figured out later.
The three Lin brothers learning to ride a bicycle was like a great event in the village, creating excitement as if it were New Year’s Eve.
Some men came back from their work and stood by without even putting down their farming tools, watching with lingering interest.
They were itching to take a turn riding it themselves.
The villagers who got back a little earlier were grouped together with their dinner bowls, eating and talking with envy.

Li Xiuli had just put the dumplings into the pot when Lin Xiaojing from the third branch of the Lin Family arrived.
The kitchen door was open; she stood at the entrance and greeted everyone.
"Second aunt, sister-in-law, Tangtang..."
Steam rose from the pot, accompanied by a domineering fragrance.
Lin Xiaojing couldn’t help but swallow her saliva.
It smells so good!
"Oh, Xiaojing has come. We were just talking and didn’t hear you.
Why are you here? Have you eaten? If you haven’t, eat with us.
We made dumplings at home, come taste my cooking," Li Xiuli said with a smile.
Lin Xiaojing held a jar in one hand and frantically waved with the other.
"No, no, my mom has cooked my meal." She hurriedly refused, not wanting to take advantage.
The new crops haven’t even been harvested yet, and each household barely has any grain left.
Her family had already been eating wild greens for several days in a row.
How could she stay for a meal?!
After speaking, Lin Xiaojing didn’t wait for Li Xiuli to persuade her further and placed the jar she was holding onto the stove.
"Tangtang, don’t you love the pickled vegetables my mom makes?
My mom just pickled some cabbage and, hearing you were back, asked me to bring some to you."
Lin Tang was surprised, not expecting Third Aunt to still think of her.
"Thank you, Third Aunt, and thank you, Sister Xiaojing."
Third Aunt is skilled at making pickles, and Second Sister-in-law at making sauces; she was truly blessed with good food.
Lin Xiaojing blushed slightly as she met her pretty cousin’s glowing eyes.
"...No need to thank me, my mom said as long as you like it, it’s good."
Tangtang looks so beautiful when she smiles!
Li Xiuli smiled and said, "Tangtang, you don’t need to tend the fire anymore, go back to your room with your Sister Xiaojing for a chat."
She had made up her mind to keep Xiaojing here.
Since Hongyan was concerned about her own Tangtang, she couldn’t be stingy either.
Lin Tang clearly understood her mother’s intention, "Alright."
With that said, she immediately stood up.
Took Lin Xiaojing’s arm, and led her back to her own room.
"I haven’t been back for a while, and I really do have something to ask you."
Lin Xiaojing, hearing this, couldn’t find a way to refuse at the moment.
She could only obediently follow Lin Tang to her room.
Thinking to herself that she would sit for just a while, just a short while, and then she would leave.
"Tangtang, what do you want to ask?" Lin Xiaojing thought Lin Tang had something important to inquire and asked earnestly.
Lin Tang glanced at her cousin.
Noticing she didn’t seem as downcast as before.
Could it be her relationship with Third Aunt had improved?
"Sister Xiaojing, how did it go with your betrothal? Is it resolved?"
Lin Xiaojing was taken aback for a moment.
The matter had been resolved for some time now.
It caught her off guard to be asked about it by Tangtang, and she hadn’t quite reacted.
"It’s resolved," she said, her brows and eyes relaxing, her voice filled with laughter.
"...My brothers called upon Brother Baoguo and Brother Aiguo, along with your three brothers, to confront the guy who bullied me.
My brother told me that he and a few cousins beat that bastard so badly that he had a swollen nose and face, crying and begging on his knees, calling out ’grandfather’.
They scared him off, and then that family didn’t dare to bother us anymore.
Later, I found out that besides our two families, outsiders knew nothing about the matchmaking, so there was no gossip."
That’s the advantage of having strong men in the family.
They can show up and fight whenever there’s a dispute.
Seeing her cousin mention this without a trace of negativity, Lin Tang breathed a sigh of relief.
She said with a smile, "That’s good, with so many of us, there is no reason for you to be mistreated."
Lin Xiaojing looked at her and laughed, "You’re one to talk, aren’t you often bullied by Wang Zhaodi too?"
Even though the main reason was Wang Zhaodi, persistent as a pesky cockroach, Tangtang’s own meekness played a part too.
Lin Tang: "..."
It’s rude to highlight one’s shortcomings.
She is the law-abiding successor with a limitless future; surely she can’t just kill Wang Zhaodi off. That’s too messy!
And besides, for someone like Wang Zhaodi, who’s green with envy, the best retaliation is to flourish oneself.
As long as she’s living well, it makes Wang Zhaodi’s skin crawl with discomfort.
Beating someone to death is the crudest form of revenge.
It’s far better to outdo her in every aspect and make sure Wang Zhaodi can never turn the tables; only then it’s barely settling the life she owes.
Just wait and see by the end of the year.
Just dealing with the pigs alone will cost Wang Zhaodi a pound of flesh.
Lin Tang smiled and didn’t answer Lin Xiaojing’s question.
She swiftly changed the subject.
"Sister Xiaojing, have you and Third Aunt made up?"
