My Beloved Super Fierce Wife

Chapter 367: What does 367 scout for?

Zhao Shuzhen had been a bold and fierce woman who dared to love and dared to hate since her youth.

She lacked the restraint and shyness typical of other women.

When she heard the man she loved most in life say those words, she couldn’t hold back, threw her arms around him, and planted two kisses on him.

"You said it, I’ll remember it."

"In a daze, half a lifetime has passed by, and without realizing it, our kids are also getting up there in age. It’s indeed time to think about ourselves."

Lin Xiuyuan caught his wife in his arms, his face beaming with a warm smile.

"You’re right, from now on I’ll accompany you up the mountains, and we’ll catch fish in the river, just as you please."

Zhao Shuzhen leaned on Lin Xiuyuan’s shoulder and laughed.

Her face bore the marks of time, but her laugh was just like before.

The main house of the Lin Family.

The courtyard was brightly lit.

Gao Ping was busy pickling vegetables with Guo Xiu, and Lin Aiguo and the others were each busy with their own tasks.

Lin Qingya brought the good news, and the people in the main house were pleasantly surprised and happy.

"Really? This is great news!

Working in our own brigade for rehabilitation is just the same as before.

If there are work quotas, we can also help out," Gao Ping said.

Although she felt that with Zhang Hongyan’s strong nature, she probably wouldn’t be happy to let them meddle,

this was much better than her being sent alone to an unfamiliar place.

The worry that was scarcely concealed on Lin Fu’s face completely dissipated.

A rare smile appeared on his stern face.

"It is indeed good news. Wife, I’m going to have a good drink later."

Gao Ping knew that the head of the household had been worried these past few nights, hardly able to sleep properly, so she didn’t hold him back any longer.

"Alright, you may drink."

Lin Fu immediately felt joyful, and his gaze towards his wife warmed significantly.

Lin Aiguo and Lin Qingya, two single men, inadvertently swallowed a mouthful of ’dog food’ and didn’t know which expression to put on.

They were fiercely determined in their hearts:

Work hard!

Work hard!

Work hard and earn tickets to get a new bride.

Lin Aiguo, unable to stand his parents’ nauseating affection, nudged Lin Qingya’s shoulder and gestured for him to go outside with him.

Seeing his uncle and aunt whispering to each other, Lin Qingya followed Lin Aiguo out.

Outside the door.

Lin Aiguo glanced at the silent Lin Qingya.

"If you have any difficulties, tell us, don’t keep it to yourself.

If you can’t handle the work at the Sauce Factory, just tell me. We have many people in the family, no need for courtesy."

Lin Qingya felt a warmth in his heart and smiled: "Got it."

He was filled with many emotions.

If such an incident had happened to someone else in the brigade, it would be good enough if people didn’t just watch with cold eyes and make cold remarks, let alone work together to help.

Being born into the Lin Family was his fortune.

Lin Aiguo patted Lin Qingya’s shoulder comfortingly.

And then he went back home with his hands in his pockets.

The matter with Zhang Hongyan had just concluded.

The names of the new recruits for the Shuangshan Brigade Sauce Factory were finalized.

Some got in, some didn’t.

Those who got in were ecstatic, while those who didn’t either reflected on themselves, hoping to make it next time, or envied others and even found various reasons to salvage their pride.

Among them, Liu Guohui was a notable one.

When Liu Guohui learned that his name wasn’t on the list of those who got into the factory, his confident and smiling expression froze awkwardly.

He immediately questioned it aloud.

"Impossible!"

"There’s a problem with this list."

Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of Lin Fu and the other village cadres turned incredibly sour.

What do you mean there’s a problem?

Was he doubting their Brigade Department?!

Li Jiancai was a man of volatile temper, and his face immediately turned black as ink.

"Liu Guohui, if you have any dissatisfaction with our village cadres, just say it straight. What do you mean the quota has a problem?

If you can’t give a proper explanation today, do you believe I’ll blacklist you?"

The blacklist was something Lin Tang had proposed.

Its purpose was to give certain people in the village a sense of measure in their hearts, to know respect and awe.

Liu Guohui had no idea how terrifying it was to be on the blacklist.

Liu Dazhu was a custodian and also a village cadre; he knew the details clearly.

Hearing this, he fiercely tugged at Liu Guohui’s arm.

"Guohui, what nonsense are you talking about? The quota was decided by the Brigade Department together, what could be wrong with it?"

As he spoke, he slapped Liu Guohui’s back several times, putting on a show for Lin Fu and others.

Liu Guohui was young and headstrong, and he simply couldn’t accept it.

Seeing that those who were inferior to him had entered the factory made his face almost twist in anger.

"Where did I speak wrongly? I’m a middle school graduate, far better than these bumpkins. How could I possibly not get in?" Liu Guohui said defiantly, his neck stiff.

Youth who had gotten jobs at the factory felt their happiness dampen upon hearing his words.

What was he trying to imply by belittling?

Why couldn’t they, the "bumpkins," enter the factory and aspire for something better?

A hot-tempered young man with a stern face angrily retorted, "Liu Guohui, what do you mean by that? How are we any less than you?"

"Yeah, what’s wrong with us? Why can’t we enter the Sauce Factory?"

During this assessment, a fifteen-year-old girl, Wang Fang, was also included in the factory entrance quota.

She was the one who lacked presence at home.

Today, her name on the factory entry list changed her entire family’s view of her.

Economic base determines superstructure: with a solid job secured, the young girl suddenly gained confidence.

Upon hearing Liu Guohui’s unpleasant words, for the first time in front of everyone, Wang Fang expressed her dissatisfaction.

"I’ve heard Comrade Lin Tang say that one should view problems with a perspective of development.

You, Comrade Liu, are indeed more excellent than us, but we have never stopped moving forward!

While you eat, sleep, and go to the county, we were all studying.

Heaven helps those who help themselves, so it’s only natural for our assessment results to be better than yours, right?"

Before the villagers could say anything, the Wang family was utterly shocked.

Because their daughter (sister) had undergone a complete transformation!!

Wang Yuanchao, the elder brother, simply couldn’t believe that these words were spoken by his uncommunicative sister.

"Xiaofang, who taught you to say these things?" Wang Yuanchao asked, dazed.

Wang Fang uneasily fidgeted with her fingers.

"I read them in books, some I learned from Comrade Lin Tang."

To nurture some progressive and competent talents for the village, Lin Tang had put in a lot of effort.

Helping the young people to read and write was the top priority.

Wang Yuanchao was slow to catch on and also went to learn to read and write, but his progress was minimal.

Unlike his sister, who had undergone earth-shattering changes.

Those who knew of Wang Fang’s dedication to her studies now spoke with a smile.

"Wang Yuanchao, you might not know but your sister is incredible.

She’s the most progressive person in our study group, always first in assessments. You shouldn’t underestimate her."

The manner and expression in which this was said were full of admiration for Wang Fang.

Wang Yuanchao and the rest of the Wang family were taken aback.

"Xiaofang, why have you never mentioned this?"

Wang Fang smiled shyly and replied, "... what’s there to say about it."

She feared saying too much might come off as showing off to her family.

Indeed, Wang Yuanchao, embarrassed for not measuring up to his sister, felt even more joy for her.

The man scratched his head, his face beaming with pride: "Xiaofang, keep up your studies; everyone in the family is proud of you."

Wang Fang, being a quiet girl, was rarely praised.

Suddenly receiving her brother’s commendation, she blushed profusely.

She nodded earnestly.

"Mhm, I will study hard, just like Comrade Lin Tang."

The onlookers also started to see Wang Fang in a new light.

"Wang Fang is... what’s that word? A change of heart, right? We hadn’t noticed, but she’s completely different now."
