My Beloved Super Fierce Wife
Chapter 383, second child, are you messing around?

Chapter 383: 383, second child, are you messing around?

Lin Tang looked at her parents’ stubborn expressions and reluctantly accepted the money.

When she opened the list to see,

wow, there were actually a whole thousand yuan.

She widened her eyes, "Mom, why so much money?"

This amount made her feel like a beggar by comparison.

ಠoಠ

Li Xiuli showed a wry smile with a mix of laughter and helplessness.

"You silly girl, this includes the eight hundred yuan compensated by the school.

The remaining two hundred and something is what your brother-in-law and Xiaojing have repaid..."

Tangtang secured official jobs for several youngsters in the Lin Family.

It was agreed from the start that they would repay half their salaries each month until the cost of purchasing their jobs was repaid.

Qingmu and the other two were also conscientious, repaying money on time every month and occasionally buying Tangtang some gifts.

Li Xiuli’s expression softened at these thoughts.

Her daughter hadn’t promoted the wrong people.

Lin Tang nodded, indicating that she understood.

Then, she tucked away the deposit slip, planning to put it back into the system space later.

No sooner had the serious talk ended than an angry voice came from the entrance.

"Lin Qingshui, stop pulling me!

If you have any sense of shame, how come you didn’t show it when you were fooling around with that young girl?

What did you say when we first got married?

You said you would treat me well for a lifetime. Has a lifetime passed, huh?

Is your lifetime just a few years?

I’m not dead yet, and you’re already thinking of finding a stepmother for Hutou and Niuniu. You really have some nerve..."

Zhou Mei spoke rapidly, her eyes red with anger.

She looked at the man before her as if he were a stranger becoming increasingly energetic.

Lin Qingshui, nearly at his wits’ end with a wife who wouldn’t listen, was deeply worried.

"Mei Zi, calm down, I already said it was a misunderstanding, why won’t you believe me?

What do you mean I’m finding a stepmother for Hutou and Niuniu? I’m not crazy. Why would I open that can of worms..."

Today’s incident was a wrongful accusation.

He was more wronged than Dou E.

Zhou Mei, recalling the scene she had witnessed, was filled with even more fury and resentment.

She pointed to her eyes, almost spitting blood with hatred.

"How can I believe you? I saw it with my own eyes; how can you expect me to believe you?"

Lin Qingshui realized he was entirely unable to reason with her, feeling as if there was a boulder on his chest.

He felt extremely wronged.

"How can you be so unreasonable..."

Zhou Mei, however, took it as her husband defending the "little demoness" outside and was so angry she was nearly in tears.

"Yes, I’m being unreasonable. Go to your reasonable Lianhua sister then."

Most people become incoherent when they’re angry.

Especially Zhou Mei, who genuinely loved Lin Qingshui.

With what her man said and facing a marital crisis, her words were harsh and unpleasant.

There was almost no leeway for reconciliation.

Zhou Mei’s statement was like tossing a piece of firewood into a powder keg.

Boom—

It exploded directly.

Lin Qingshui looked at Zhou Mei with an ugly expression, feeling cold in his heart.

"You’re simply..."

Unreasonable.

The idiomatic phrase wasn’t even fully spoken when Li Xiuli slapped his shoulder, having only heard parts of the conversation.

"Lin Lu, are you trying to kill yourself? What did you do to make your wife so mad? If there’s a problem, can’t you talk it out instead of making a scene like this?

This is the wife you’ve longed to marry. Can’t you sit down and talk about the issues? You shouldn’t take words said in haste to heart."

Li Xiuli scolded as she hit, her expression and tone full of disdain.

After scolding her son, she turned to look at Zhou Mei, whose eyes were bright red.

"Mei Zi, you too. As a couple, you can’t hold grudges in your heart.

No matter the problem, we should shut the door and discuss it slowly. There’s always a time to clear things up."

The second daughter-in-law had thick skin; ever since she had entered her own home, she had never seen Mei Zi cry.

Now suddenly her eyes reddened, which was quite heartbreaking to see.

After consoling Zhou Mei, Li Xiuli glared at Lin Qingshui with fury.

"Lin Lu, what are you standing there for? Take your wife home right now."

Both spouses had affection for each other and regretted their hurtful words as soon as they were spoken.

Now that Li Xiuli had given them a way out, they dropped the matter for the time being.

They sheepishly entered the courtyard.

Once home, Li Xiuli asked, "What exactly happened between you two?"

Lin Lu and Lin Tang turned their eyes towards Lin Qingshui and Zhou Mei simultaneously, like two monkeys caught eating melons in a field.

Zhou Mei had been profoundly touched by the fact that Li Xiuli had shown no bias towards her son earlier.

Now that she was being asked, her sense of grievance magnified immensely.

Tears flowed like water from a heater turned on with both hot and cold taps running.

"Mother, Lin Qingshui has been fooling around outside, and he even says I’m being unreasonable..."

The moment the words "fooling around" left her mouth, Li Xiuli’s expression darkened.

She bent down and took off one of Lin Lu’s shoes.

Lifting her arm, she held the shoe high above her head.

"What? Lin Lu, you’ve been fooling around?"

Li Xiuli’s eyes went wide with anger.

"Lin Qingshui, you damn well dare to fool around? You’ve grown arrogant!

Head of the family, beat this troublesome son, show him some color..."

Lin Lu said weakly, "Wife, my shoe is still in your hand."

That’s when Li Xiuli came back to her senses.

She was about to beat Lin Qingshui.

Seeing this, Lin Tang hurried to stop her mother.

"Mother, don’t be impulsive, ask Second Brother first."

Lin Qingshui, moved by his sister’s fairness, had tears welling in his eyes.

Ah, there was still someone sensible in the family.

Then,

Lin Tang continued, "If Second Brother really did something wrong, you and Father should beat him together."

Lin Qingshui: "..." Grateful that he indeed had done nothing wrong.

Li Xiuli, finding Tangtang’s words sensible, didn’t return the shoe to Lin Lu and just kept hold of it.

"Lin Lu, now you tell me, tell the truth."

Her tone was particularly disdainful, "You have some nerve, making your wife cry."

She thought about her own twenty-something years of marriage to the head of the family; she had never been angered to tears.

So it went, each generation was weaker than the last.

Lin Lu said in an indifferent tone:

"In this life, it is only your other half who is with you the longest.

Living together doesn’t necessarily have to result in winners and losers. It’s mutual understanding and mutual consideration that last the distance."

He spoke not only for Lin Lu to hear but also for his daughter-in-law.

Lin Tang, seeing her usually unaware lovey-dovey brother and sister-in-law in such a state, crinkled her nose.

Looking at her brother, she disapproved wholeheartedly.

What was the harm in a big man yielding to his wife?!

Lin Qingshui, seeing his entire family detesting him,

was on the brink of shedding pitiful tears.

"Father, Mother, Sister, I didn’t do it," he denied.

Seeing her Second Brother’s woeful expression, Lin Tang said, "Then speak up. What exactly happened? Just explain it clearly, and all would be well."

Misunderstandings as outrageous as soap operas happen because things aren’t clarified.

If everything is laid out and explained, wouldn’t that solve many problems?

Lin Qingshui glanced at Zhou Mei and said, "Wife, you really misunderstood. I have nothing to do with that Lianhua..."

Lianhua?

Lin Tang nearly choked on her saliva.

Cough cough, wondering if she was also as delicate as a lotus.

With that, Lin Qingshui began to unravel his entanglement with this Lianhua.

Lianhua was a distant cousin of Cui Fang, a woman from their brigade.

After the Shuangshan Brigade’s living conditions improved, the strapping young lads and gals became quite sought after.
