My Beloved Super Fierce Wife
Chapter 304 shuddered from the thunder

Chapter 304: 304 shuddered from the thunder

Li Xiuli felt a sweet warmth in her heart and pinched Lin Lu’s arm uncomfortably.

"...Don’t worry! Be careful when you do chores at home, and don’t hurry things."

Thinking of the second brother and his wife at home, she felt relieved.

Lin Lu chuckled, "Alright, I’ll listen to my wife."

Lin Qingshan stood beside them, unsure of what expression to make, "..."

Forget it, as long as mom and dad are happy.

After the couple finished talking, Lin Qingshan pushed his bicycle and left the house.

Li Xiuli followed with small bags in tow.

Before they had gone far, Lin Tang also came out pushing a bicycle.

The bicycle in her hands belonged to Qin Suqing’s family.

The Qin family shared a courtyard, and recently, a relative had arrived at one of the households there.

This relative had a penchant for taking advantage.

One day stealing a persimmon from one neighbor, the next day swiping a chopping board from another.

It made everyone annoyed.

It seemed that this relative had set their sights on the Qin family’s bicycle.

They didn’t dare to steal it, so they hung around the Qin family members every day, making snide remarks and touching the bike now and then, which was incredibly irritating.

Qin Suqing’s patience was so tried that she brought the bicycle to Lin Tang’s house that very day.

She said to keep it for a few days and to use it as she liked.

The day before, when returning to the brigade, Lin Tang rode it back.

Seeing her daughter pushing out the bicycle, Li Xiuli was taken aback and asked:

"Tangtang, are you... going with us to see your grandma and grandpa? Don’t you need to catch up on some sleep?"

Because Comrade Chu Yue had stayed over last night, the family got up earlier than usual, and she had thought to let her daughter sleep in.

Lin Tang shook her head and said, "...I’m going to visit grandma and grandpa too, I haven’t seen them in months, I can sleep when we get back tonight."

She still thought this visit would be just like the ones before.

She had no idea that upon seeing the old couple’s plight, it would be another round of trouble.

Xingmin Brigade.

Wu Chunhua brought back money and eggs and received a warm welcome from her family.

Old Lady Wu had initially intended to keep the fish they had at home to themselves.

Seeing what her daughter-in-law brought, she reluctantly agreed to give Wu Chunhua and her son a bowl of soup to drink.

"You should go back in a couple of days, Daniu and Zhaodi are still at home. If you’re not there to manage things, I don’t know what kind of mess the house will turn into..." Old Lady Wu’s face was expressionless.

Wu Chunhua pursed her lips.

In her heart, she said she intentionally didn’t want to go back.

She had to let Wang Daniu understand the consequences of not having a woman at home.

These words Wu Chunhua didn’t dare to say outright to her mother-in-law.

She could only smile and obediently agree.

"I understand."

Thinking her daughter-in-law was heeding her advice, Old Lady Wu’s expression softened a bit.

That brat should head back sooner, so the household can save some food.

"Don’t just sit there, come help me in the kitchen. Your eldest brother caught a fish; we’ll make Fish Soup today..." Old Lady Wu said.

Wu Chunhua’s eyes lit up.

Her mouth watered so much it almost dripped down her chin.

Fish!

It had been such a long time since she had eaten it.

"Ah!"

She answered eagerly and followed her into the kitchen.

As the mother and daughter busied themselves in the kitchen, Wu Chunhua suddenly remembered the old Li couple she saw the last time she visited her parents’ home.

Her gaze flickered as she asked, "Mom, how are Li Xiuli’s parents doing now?"

On her last trip home, she saw the old Li couple had been kicked out of their son’s house.

They had run into her and asked her to pass a message to Li Xiuli.

However, out of a desire to enjoy the drama, she verbally agreed but didn’t actually tell Li Xiuli.

She wondered how those two old folks were faring now?

Wu Granny paused for a moment, "What are you asking this for?"

After speaking, she let out a barely noticeable sigh.

"What else can it be? The old couple lives in that tiny broken house at the end of the village."

Thinking of the Li Family’s son, Wu Granny’s face was full of contempt.

"To have such an unfilial son and an unreliable daughter, what else could the old couple do?"

As she spoke, Wu Granny pinched Wang Zhaodi’s arm fiercely with a scowl.

She said forcefully, "I’m warning you, I’m not like the Li Family’s meek couple who don’t know how to kick up a fuss."

"If you and your brother dare to be unfilial, I’ll let you know what’s what!"

Wu Chunhua winced in pain.

She said with a wronged face:

"Mom, why are you pinching me? When have I ever been unfilial?

Whenever there’s something good at home, I always bring it to you first. You’re really hurting my feelings with what you’re saying."

Seeing her make a young girl’s aggrieved expression at her age, Wu Granny was struck by how ridiculous it seemed and shuddered all over.

She quickly looked away.

"Enough, enough, don’t look so wronged, I’m scared all right? I still trust you," she said.

"Later when the fish soup is ready, I’ll give you an extra piece of meat."

A slap, then a sweet date.

Any discontent Wu Chunhua might have had vanished completely.

But she still said, "Even if I just drink the soup, it’s fine. Mom, you should eat more."

She was held tightly in Wu Granny’s grip.

The moment Wu Granny softened her tone, she waved the white flag of surrender.

"Alright, stop with the nonsense and get on with your work," said Wu Granny.

-

Lin Qingshan, with Li Xiuli in tow, returned to the Xingmin Brigade, followed closely by Lin Tang.

It was the time for the midday rest.

Some commune members were squatting at their doorsteps, shoveling food into their mouths from their bowls.

Seeing someone riding a bicycle into the village, everyone craned their necks to look.

"Who’s relative is that, even riding a bicycle?"

One person mentioned the bicycle, and the others turned back to look.

Another man with sharp eyes gasped in astonishment, "...Sss, it’s two bikes!!"

Within moments of those words, the bicycles were in full view.

"Uncle, Auntie..." Lin Qingshan called out politely.

One of them, with a face full of shock, could hardly believe their eyes, "Blue, Blue Mountain? Are you Lin Qingshan?"

As this person called out Lin Qingshan’s name, Li Xiuli hopped down from the back of the bicycle.

The back seat was high, which wasn’t very user-friendly for someone with short legs like her.

Moreover, with her hands full of eggs she’d brought, she had to be extra careful.

"This is my eldest at home, it has been a while since we’ve seen him, seems like everyone has forgotten him..." Li Xiuli joked with a laugh.

Of course, she knew it was because her son had become the Pig Breeding Technician of the commune and wore new clothes that made him look completely different, hence nobody dared to recognize him.

The Xingmin Brigade members’ faces displayed even greater shock when they saw Li Xiuli.

"...It’s Xiuli!"

Their expressions were a mix of embarrassment and bewilderment.

Doing so well for yourself, why not take care of your parents living under a leaky, broken roof?! They thought.

Lin Tang felt something odd about the way their gazes landed on the three of them and felt a sinking feeling in her heart.

After parking the bicycle.

She handed each person a few hard candies.

"Dear uncles and aunties, my mom brought us to see Grandma and Grandpa. Is everything okay with the two old folks?" She smiled and made small talk politely.

The villagers accepted her candy, which silenced them a bit.

A woman sighed and said:

"It’s about time you came. Your grandparents haven’t been doing too well; they’ve been driven to a tiny broken house at the edge of the village by your uncle and his wife."

"I heard your grandpa was seriously ill a while back, not sure how he’s doing now!"
