My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 157 Your wife thinks you are cold

Lin Tang was in the middle of speaking when Li Xiuli thought of the beautiful set of dishes, and suddenly she became anxious.

She loved that new set of kitchenware for the stove!

"Let’s keep that set of dishes for the New Year," she said.

It wasn’t often they came across defective goods, and it was quite a find.

Lin Lu also said, "There are two extra pairs of Liberation shoes. I’ll ask your eldest uncle and third uncle if they want them; if so, we’ll keep them for the family first."

Of course, Lin Tang had no objections.

"Sure, Dad and Mom can just decide on their own.

And about the fabric at home, we could either keep it for making clothes for ourselves or trade it with the aunties in the village."

Li Xiuli remembered the fabric her daughter had brought; there was still quite a bit left.

After thinking for a while, she said, "We’ll use the fabric to make a set of clothes for your grandparents, and one for each of Goudan’s four little ones,

and if we’re careful, there might even be enough to make a pair of cotton pants for your dad."

Although Lin Lu’s legs were healed thanks to the medicinal wine Lin Tang had provided, there existed a type of cold known as: your wife thinks you are cold.

The cotton pants filled with love were promptly arranged.

Lin Lu’s heart warmed, and he looked at Li Xiuli with tender eyes that were beyond gentle.

The three Lin brothers and Lin Tang turned away, all with smiles on their faces.

Oh dear, suddenly it felt a bit too sweet!

Li Xiuli, feeling something amiss with the atmosphere, became quite embarrassed and said, "It’s late, let’s all go to our rooms and sleep."

After speaking, she headed back to her room with Lin Lu.

Lin Tang couldn’t hold back a snicker as she watched the old couple’s retreating figures disappear quickly.

Lin Qingmu smacked her on the head, "Stop laughing and go to sleep; otherwise, you’ll have dark circles tomorrow."

After speaking, he pushed Lin Tang toward her room.

After making sure she entered, he then returned to his own room.

-

The night was dreamless.

The Lin family woke up early the next morning.

The sky was just beginning to lighten, and there was a dampness in the air.

When Li Xiuli saw Lin Tang coming out of her room, she smiled, "Why not sleep a bit longer? What would you like for breakfast? Mom will make it for you."

She had already asked everyone in the house to keep quiet; how did they still wake her daughter?

"I’m awake since I couldn’t sleep," Lin Tang replied and went to the kitchen to scoop some hot water for washing up.

As for what to eat?

Honestly, since vacation began, she wanted to eat everything delicious.

She thought for a bit, then looked at Li Xiuli, "Mom, I want to eat dumpling soup. Is that okay?"

Having a bowl of warm dumpling soup first thing in the morning would make her whole body warm.

Li Xiuli looked into her daughter’s sparkling eyes; how could she say no?

"Sure! Mom will make it."

Even though she hadn’t made it very often.

When it came to food, Zhou Mei was definitely involved.

The woman drifted over like a ghost, shamelessly asking, "Mom, do we get some too?"

While speaking, she swallowed with a gulp, "gulp," her mouth watering.

Dumpling soup, ah. She had never had it before.

Just the name sounded delicious.

It must be as tasty as yesterday’s dumplings since her sister-in-law wanted to eat it.

Li Xiuli was about to get angry when Lin Tang tugged gently at her sleeve. The words that were about to spill out were promptly swallowed back.

Humph!

For Tangtang’s sake.

"...Everyone will have some," Li Xiuli said somewhat grumpily.

What a gluttonous daughter-in-law.

She was lucky to have entered the Lin family’s door—if she had married into a stingier household, she might have been worn down to death.

Li Xiuli was no indulgent mother-in-law, but she never hassled her daughter-in-law.

Even though Zhou Mei was peculiar and a bit stingy, Li Xiuli would mostly just scold her, and even if she was too angry and wanted to hit someone, it would only be to scare her.

Li Xiuli could never stand the old ladies in the village who harshly nagged at their daughters-in-law relentlessly.

Everyone is brought up by their parents, and a daughter-in-law brought home is not a maid you’ve bought. Even making her work for work points all day is one thing, but to have her do all the household chores by herself is simply inhumane.

Li Xiuli always worried about Lin Tang when she saw those young daughters-in-law suffering in the village.

She feared her daughter would also marry into such a heartless family.

Just at the thought of it, her heart ached to the point of suffocation.

With these thoughts, Li Xiuli’s gaze towards Lin Tang became strange.

The girl was almost seventeen and would be of marriageable age in two more years.

What a worry!

Lin Tang, of course, noticed her mother’s complex expression.

"Mom, why are you looking at me like that?"

As if the vegetables in the field had been rooted up by pigs.

Li Xiuli hurriedly averted her gaze and quickly changed the subject.

"It’s nothing. If you’re hungry, go eat some fruit first. I’ll call you when dinner’s ready."

After saying this, she went to the kitchen.

Ning Xinrou and Zhou Mei hurriedly followed her in.

Goudan came out to use the toilet in a daze, but the mention of fruit immediately banished his sleepiness from his face.

Lin Tang saw him wearing his clothes all askew and squatted down to help her little nephew get dressed properly.

"Don’t squint your eyes when you’re using the toilet, what if you fall into the pit?"

Back in those days, a village toilet was just a large pit with two planks over it, and a slight slip could send someone tumbling in.

Goudan looked up at his pretty little aunt and asked curiously, "Little aunt, if I fell into the toilet, would you despise me?"

Lin Tang met the little guy’s clear, bright eyes and pinched Goudan’s nose.

Her face was one of disgust.

"Do you think your dad would despise you? Whatever your dad’s attitude is, that’s my attitude."

Goudan dramatically clutched at his chest, a look of hurt on his face.

His voice was mournful.

"My dad would definitely despise me."

With that, he let out a sigh much like an adult would.

"Sigh, I’ll definitely be more careful when I use the toilet in the future."

Absolutely not going to fall into the pit.

Lin Tang ruffled his little head, "That’s the right way to think."

"Just think about how filthy it would be if someone fell into the toilet. The whole brigade would know about you then.

They would say, ’Hey, isn’t that the Lin Family’s kid who fell into the toilet? Does he still smell? What does it feel like to fall into a toilet?

That feeling can’t be pleasant, and it’s not a good look."

Lin Tang had long noticed Goudan’s habit of squinting when he used the toilet.

She had been meaning to scold him about it for a while, and now was the perfect opportunity to remind him.

After imagining the situation, Goudan concluded that falling into the toilet pit was something that absolutely had to be avoided.

Thinking back to when his own foot had slipped into the pit, the image-conscious child just wanted to cover his face.

Lucky for him, no one else knew about it.

"I understand, I won’t squint when using the toilet anymore," Goudan declared solemnly.

He truly took the matter to heart.

Lin Tang did not spare on praises, "That’s a good, sensible child. Go wash up quickly, and then you can have some fruit."

Goudan’s expression lit up, his mouth curling into a proud smile.

"I’m on it!"

Lin Tang took three apples, washed them, and cut them into twelve slices.

There was one piece for each family member.

After feeding the pigs, chickens, and rabbits, the three brothers named Qing, Lin Tang returned to the courtyard and saw the bright red, juicy apples.

Speaking of fruit, since birth, the Lin Family’s three brothers had only eaten sour and astringent wild fruits from the mountains. They had never even seen the legitimate fruits Lin Tang brought back.

To exaggerate a bit, not only had the Lin Family’s three brothers never eaten such fruit, but in those days, very few people had the chance to eat fruit at all.

It wasn’t because of a lack of money or food tickets, there simply was no supply.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, come and wash your hands quickly. After washing, have some fruit first. Mom’s cooking dumpling soup," said Lin Tang.

The three Qing brothers washed their hands.
