Chapter 366: 366 families were divided, but the emotional ties did not break

Zhang Hongyan was detained, and Lin Xiaojing had no heart for work, nor did she feel at ease about her father, so she took two days off, and now she was at home.

After feeding the chickens and pigs at home, she tended to the vegetable field.

Washing clothes, cooking...

Lin Xiaojing was a diligent girl who was seldom idle at home.

When Lin Tang arrived at the third room, she was sitting on a small wooden stool, vigorously scrubbing clothes.

"Sister Xiaojing!"

Lin Xiaojing, seeing her cousin, snapped back from her jumbled thoughts.

She put down the clothes in her hands and washed her hands.

"Tangtang, why are you here? Sit down, I’ll pour you some water."

Without waiting for Lin Tang to reply, she turned and went to the kitchen.

As soon as Lin Xiaojing left, Lin Shou and Lin Qingya came over.

They looked at Lin Tang with hopeful eyes.

"Tangtang, is there any news about my mom?" Lin Qingya asked nervously.

Just then, Lin Xiaojing came out with the water.

Hearing her brother’s question, her hand shook violently, nearly pouring the water on herself.

Her heart soared with tension.

"Tangtang, my mom... has the verdict come out so quickly?" Lin Xiaojing asked, nearly holding her breath.

Light sparked in Lin Shou’s dim eyes.

Lin Tang nodded and said:

"...I’ve got some inside information. The result is good—labor reform for three years, and the location is right here in our brigade."

She didn’t pause and blurted it all out at once.

The three people in the third room were completely stunned.

After regaining their composure, their eyes moistened.

Lin Xiaojing, who had been anxious for so many days, finally relaxed, and tears uncontrollably gushed out.

Crying messily, her tears and snot became one.

Yet on her face was a look of lighthearted joy.

"That’s wonderful! Truly wonderful..."

Lin Tang felt a sourness in her heart, but also found it somewhat amusing.

"Sister Xiaojing, you’re the only female comrade in our third room. Take good care of the home; your aunt will be back before long."

Lin Xiaojing wiped her tears, her voice choked up.

"Yeah, I know. I won’t say anything more. I know you’ve made a great effort in this, thank you, Tangtang."

Lin Qingya was filled with gratitude but had no outlet for it.

His hands clenched and unclenched in emotion.

"Tangtang, I don’t even know what to say, thank you..."

His cousin was their third room’s great benefactor.

As Lin Shou’s eyes welled up with the news,

Just before he could thank his niece, Lin Tang spoke first.

"Why say all this? We are family, there’s no need for such formalities—I’d feel embarrassed."

Her mother had said when she was just born, she was as weak as a little kitten and no one dared to touch her.

Back then, life was much harder than it is now, and her mother did not have any milk.

She survived thanks to her aunt’s help and the nutritional products people gave; that’s how she pulled through that winter.

Not to mention, the Lin Family had always been about mutual aid.

Her father had suffered a lasting injury to his leg while saving someone, which pained him so much in the winter he couldn’t get up.

All the heavy work around the house depended on her uncle and third uncle.

Such instances were many.

The family might be divided, but their bond had never broken.

When something happened, it was natural for family members to help each other out.

Upon this realization, Lin Shou chuckled and said, "Alright, Uncle Shou won’t say more!"

Family!

Having delivered the news, Lin Tang thought her uncle and the others might need some time to process, so she took her leave and went back to her own home.

Before long, everyone in the Lin Family was aware of the news.

The old mansion of the Lin Family.

The newly built brick and tile house was clean and spacious.

The inside featured a new heated brick bed, and all the furniture was new.

It was a sight that brightened one’s mood.

The light inside the house was bright.

Zhao Shuzhen and Lin Xiuyuan sat shoulder to shoulder on the bed, casually chatting about family matters.

"I thought the third child’s family was going to fall apart, but who knew that Tangtang would bring good news."

"Xiuyuan, do you think there won’t be any unexpected complications with this matter?"

The couple learned about the matter quite late.

If it weren’t for the fight between the wives of the eldest and second sons and Yang Chunfang spreading like wildfire in the village, they would still be clueless.

Lin Xiuyuan saw Zhao Shuzhen squeezing her temples.

He reached out to massage the acupoints on her head for her.

In a soothing voice, he said, "Rest if you’re tired."

As he spoke, he put away the needlework that Zhao Shuzhen was holding.

"Children will have their own blessings. Tangtang is reliable; put your mind at ease.

Even if the third son’s wife can’t return to the village, at least her life is saved."

After all, a life was at stake.

The result was already not easy to come by.

No telling how many connections and favors Tangtang had to use.

However, seeing the younger generation so loving and supportive, the elders could only be happy!

Zhao Shuzhen felt that what Lin Xiuyuan said made sense.

She sighed deeply.

"Sigh! Even if her life is saved and the third son’s wife returns to the village, who knows what kind of stories those gossips will concoct about her.

When that happens, Qingya and Xiaojing..."

Before she could finish, Lin Xiuyuan patted her shoulder.

With a helpless smile, he said, "Don’t overthink it, who would keep harping on that.

Besides, as long as Lin Fu remains the Captain, people in the brigade wouldn’t dare to openly criticize."

As for what they say behind closed doors, let them be.

Zhao Shuzhen touched the calluses on her hands from her martial arts training in her youth, a glint passing in her eyes.

"Mhm."

If those people weren’t excessive, it was fine, but if they truly bullied her family, she had her ways to take care of them.

Having thought it through, Zhao Shuzhen pushed those messy thoughts to the back of her mind.

She stood up, made a cup of milk powder, and handed it to Lin Xiuyuan.

"Here’s your milk powder for today, drink it while it’s hot."

These days, the old couple didn’t lack good things.

Things like milk powder, Malt Extract, fruit, pastries, sweets... they had it all.

The households of the oldest, the second, and the third sons would drop by with things from time to time, with the second household, living the good life, bringing the most.

Lin Xiuyuan said warmly with a smile, "Make a cup for yourself too!"

Zhao Shuzhen’s face wrinkled.

"I’d rather not. I’ll just have a couple of sips of Medicinal Wine for health."

She didn’t care for the sweet taste.

A piece of fruit candy was fine, but she couldn’t stand the taste of milk.

Seeing his wife’s face full of rejection, Lin Xiuyuan’s smile grew more helpless.

He got up, took out the Medicinal Wine, and poured her a couple of sips.

"Then just have a couple of sips."

Tangtang had said that he and Shuzhen were almost done with their body conditioning and didn’t need to drink it every day, just occasionally would be fine.

Zhao Shuzhen was fine as long as she didn’t have to drink any milk powder or Malt Extract.

She nodded her head in agreement.

"Sigh, life keeps getting better and better. Who would have thought we’d be here two years ago?" Zhao Shuzhen lamented.

Leave aside the previous years, even just half a year ago, the family was struggling with just getting by.

Now, they could even drink the milk powder reserved for cadres.

Lin Xiuyuan subtly praised his wife a few times.

"It’s all thanks to your good guidance. If it weren’t for your capability, who knows what state our family would be in right now."

Zhao Shuzhen was pleased inside, her face all smiles.

"You contributed too."

Lin Xiuyuan shook his head with a smile.

His still charming face held affirmation and gratitude for his wife’s efforts.

"I’ve done too little."

While speaking, he took Zhao Shuzhen’s hand.

His gentle eyes were filled with earnestness.

"Now that I’m healthy, you don’t have to worry about me anymore. I want to do those things I couldn’t do before, together with you."
