Chapter 314: 314 Humph, so shameless

Qi Xianghong, with a thick face, wanted to tag along but was grabbed by Li Xiuli.

"My Tangtang still has things to do. If you want to chat, I’ll keep you company."

Her daughter always cared a lot about her private space, and she couldn’t let anyone bother Tangtang.

Qi Xianghong watched as Lin Tang returned to her own room and expressionlessly closed the door.

The desire to go and see had to be put aside for now.

"Xiuli Auntie, isn’t your Lin Tang too stingy?

It’s just a room, why guard it like warding off a thief?

If you don’t trust me, I might as well go home."

Qi Xianghong curled her lip, badmouthing Lin Tang.

She talked about ’going home’, but her butt seemed glued to the chair, not moving an inch.

She kept snacking, occasionally calling out to her son and daughter.

Zhou Mei had long been fed up with Qi Xianghong.

Hearing her badmouth her sister-in-law, she immediately began putting away the things on the table.

"Since you’ve already said my Tangtang is stingy, then you probably don’t care for the snacks my sister-in-law bought, so I’ll put them away."

After speaking, she didn’t wait for Qi Xianghong to reply, picked up the items, and returned to the room.

Li Xiuli silently applauded the younger daughter-in-law in her heart.

"We’re about to have dinner soon, it’s not good to keep snacking," she explained with some effort.

She was trying hard to maintain at least the basic decency amongst neighbors.

After all, the family was still on good terms with the other members of the Qi family.

Qi Xianghong, oblivious, with a face full of ’I know what’s best for you’, started advising:

"Auntie Li, this won’t do!

With the way you spoil Lin Tang, how will she ever get married?

A girl with thorns all over her is hard to marry off."

While speaking, she shook her head.

A face that suggested this was all wrong.

Li Xiuli looked at Qi Xianghong’s expression, feeling indescribably odd.

If such words came from someone around her age, it would have been understandable.

But Qi Xianghong, who was just a few years older than her Lin Tang, looked truly bizarre.

Before Li Xiuli could speak, Qi Xianghong continued curling her lip and said:

"Also, these two daughters-in-law of yours, tsk tsk, don’t even bother to entertain guests, such bad manners..."

Before she could finish, a broken broom came flying towards her.

’Bang,’ it hit Qi Xianghong on the head.

"...Ouch!!" Qi Xianghong screamed in pain.

Her face stung where the loose bristles of the broken broom had swept across it.

Zhou Mei hurried over.

Picking up the broom from the ground, her face was full of apologies.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn’t pay attention and the broom flew. Are you hurt?"

She ’awkwardly’ fiddled with her hands, her expression sincerely apologetic.

Qi Xianghong slowly touched her face; no blood, no break.

Even the initial stinging pain had disappeared.

She thought about making a fuss, but the conditions weren’t right.

"...It’s nothing," she said insincerely.

Deep down, she felt a profound sense of regret.

What a pity.

If only there had been a hint of blood, she could have squeezed quite a bit out of the Lin family.

Zhou Mei had no idea what Qi Xianghong was thinking.

She picked up the broom and started sweeping.

She swept the dust and peanut shells towards Qi Xianghong, with ill-intent.

Qi Xianghong ate a mouthful of dust and hurriedly jumped up.

"What are you doing?"

As Zhou Mei kept sweeping, she said, "Isn’t it obvious? I’m sweeping the floor; I can’t very well ask you to do it."

While talking, the broom passed by Qi Xianghong’s feet again and again.

Qi Xianghong had to keep dodging.

Lin Qingshan returned from the commune to find this scene and was momentarily stunned.

"What’s going on here?" he asked.

Seeing a completely different, transformed Lin Qingshan, Qi Xianghong shuddered.

It was as if she was nailed to the spot.

She subconsciously straightened her clothes.

Touched her hair to make sure her appearance was still in good shape, and sighed heavily in relief.

"Qingshan Brother~" she called out in a coquettish voice.

Lin Qingshan shuddered all over, nearly vomiting the meal from the day before yesterday.

He moved his body to shake off the goosebumps that had formed on his skin.

He avoided looking at Qi Xianghong’s pretentious face.

He parked his bicycle.

Greeted her expressionlessly.

"...Comrade Qi."

Then he turned to Li Xiuli, "Mom, where’s my wife?"

"Your wife was tired, she went to the room to rest."

Not wanting to share a space with the always clingy Qi Xianghong, Lin Qingshan said, "...I’m heading to my room."

After speaking, he walked toward the house.

When Qi Xianghong heard he was going to the room, her mind was struck by a bolt of lightning, and she hurriedly ran up to block him.

"Qingshan Brother, I came back to the village today specifically to find you."

Lin Qingshan frowned and said coldly, "What do you want with me? I have nothing to say to you."

Like his family, he got a headache at the sight of this person.

Lin Tang heard her elder brother’s voice and quietly opened the door.

The door had a bamboo curtain on it, obscuring the view from outside but allowing one to see out from inside.

She remembered how desperately Qi Xianghong had clung to her elder brother.

Her visit today was probably not about the wine... the drink was just a pretext.

Qi Xianghong gazed dazedly at Lin Qingshan, and when she met his dark eyes, she quickly lowered her head.

Her heart was pounding furiously.

Lin Qingshan was the man she had fallen for when she was still a girl, and he held a special place in her heart.

But he had married Ning Xinrou, a girl who had fled famine and was all alone in the world.

Qi Xianghong clenched her palm.

She suppressed the surging waves in her heart.

And brought up the matter at hand.

"I heard people say you’ve become the Technician for our commune’s pig farming, and I just wanted to ask when it would be our brigade’s turn?"

The brigade leader of the brigade she had married into, upon learning that Shuangshan Brigade had produced a Lin Qingshan, had sent her back to probe for information.

Lin Qingshan’s antipathy eased a bit when Qi Xianghong mentioned official business.

However, he still kept his distance from this person.

"It’s not clear yet, everything is waiting for the commune’s arrangements."

Having answered the question, he nodded to his mother and younger siblings.

With a stride of his long legs, he entered the room quickly.

"Hey, Qingshan Brother, wait a second, I haven’t finished asking..."

Qi Xianghong was about to catch up with Lin Qingshan when Zhou Mei grabbed her arm.

Zhou Mei’s face was lined with annoyance as she scolded:

"What are you doing? My elder brother is going back to the room to find my sister-in-law, why are you following? Do you enjoy being a third wheel in someone else’s couple? Have some shame!"

She really couldn’t understand people who, knowing full well someone was married, still insist on inserting themselves into the middle of it.

Are they sick in the head?!

Qi Xianghong’s face turned shades of green and white.

"I didn’t mean that, I was just asking about official business..." she retorted.

Zhou Mei sneered unconvincingly.

"Alright, you don’t need to explain to me, whether it’s official business or not, you know perfectly well."

She really needed to put a mirror in front of this person to see the expression on her face.

Ever since her elder brother came back, her eyes were practically glued to my uncle!

Hmph, shamelessly presumptuous!

Li Xiuli remembered the horrifying scene from years ago when Qi Family’s girl clung to her eldest son and her expression soured.

"Xianghong, your parents should be heading home too; if there’s nothing else, you should go and heat up some water. We’re busy here, so we won’t keep you," she said, directly shooing her away.
