Chapter 398: 398 I miss you (additional update)

Yang Chunfang: "..."

Lin Anan had spent a long time in the county and had a clear understanding of the village’s affairs.

She knew that ever since Liu Guohui and Tangtang had broken off their engagement, the Lin and Liu families had been at odds, like needles pitted against wheat awns.

As the Lin family’s days were getting better and better, they didn’t pay much attention, while the Liu family’s fortune had taken a downturn, and out of frustration, they started to hold a grudge against the Lin family unilaterally.

The Lins were mentally prepared for the shenanigans Yang Chunfang would pull.

They knew she couldn’t stir up any trouble and didn’t take her seriously.

Lin Anan, who took after Zhao Shuzhen, had a straightforward and fiery temperament.

Following behind Cui Fang, she said, "Aunt Cui Fang’s words make sense."

"If you’ve got ideas, Aunt Yang, just say them now while the police comrades are still here!"

She covered her mouth and gave a light laugh.

"I heard from the doctors at the county hospital that we women shouldn’t keep our anger bottled up, as getting too angry can be harmful to our health."

"I noticed your neck has turned red with anger. If you have any grievances or doubts, just speak up, don’t keep it bottled inside!

After all, for us country folks, a trip to the hospital costs an arm and a leg."

The onlookers almost wanted to laugh.

Shuzhen’s daughter is indeed formidable.

Just look at how furious Guohui’s mother is!

Yang Chunfang’s face was a shade of green and purple.

As hard-set as Mount Changbai.

She said sarcastically, "What, I can’t even ask now? The Lin family is so high and mighty that they can’t be criticized?"

Lin Anan appeared completely unfazed.

"Ha ha, Aunt Yang, you sure know how to flatter people!"

"If it’s constructive criticism, we in the Lin family will gladly accept it, but if it’s ill-intentioned, then, I’m sorry, we have rifles ready for wolves."

Her metaphor had both policemen laughing.

The older policeman cleared his throat and looked toward Yang Chunfang.

"... Do you have any further questions, comrade? If not, we should be on our way."

If you gave Yang Chunfang a hundred guts, she still wouldn’t dare question the police.

Yang Chunfang stiffly shook her head.

The older policeman gave her a meaningful glance before he and his men left.

When they were gone, Cui Fang couldn’t stop laughing, showing all her molars.

"Some people are just a joke, their own house a mess, yet they hope for others’ misfortune, as if their own lives will get better if others suffer."

After speaking, she shook her head with an air of that said it all, and turned to leave.

Yang Chunfang didn’t get a chance to spit out the words ’A dog poking its nose into others’ business,’ before Cui Fang swayed her wide hips back home.

It left Yang Chunfang with a suffocating feeling of indignation.

The Lin family, aside from a few retorts from Lin Anan, treated her like air.

All their attention was focused on Zhang Hongyan.

Zhao Shuzhen looked at the third daughter-in-law, who had become emaciated, her cheekbones protruding sharply, with indescribable complexity in her heart.

"... Live well from now on!"

She didn’t say more.

Zhang Hongyan, looking at Lin Shou and her children crying together, nodded, weeping and laughing at the same time.

She was scared.

She thought, at worst, she would just lose her life, but only at the brink did she realize that those wretched people weren’t worth it!

Gao Ping, watching from the side, felt her heart ache.

She patted Zhang Hongyan’s arm, her attitude unchanged.

"Let’s go home, take a bath, get some sleep. The days ahead are all new."

Li Xiuli joined the conversation, "Eldest sister-in-law is right, it will get better."

Zhang Hongyan felt a complicated mix of emotions, her throat as if blocked by a stone.

A ray of warmth seemed to have shone into her chilled heart.

As a child, she suffered for a mere bite to eat.

In her girlhood, after her mother passed away, she and her sister struggled alone, bullied by the villagers.

After her sister died in disgrace, she suffered great trauma to both body and spirit, piling sorrow upon sorrow.

Married to Lin Shou, even if they had to eat chaff and swallow vegetables, she found redemption for her heart.

Now that the trouble with the ruffian and Mao Laizi was put to an end, the knots in Zhang Hongyan’s heart, knotted for many years, were finally undone.

Just like her elder and second sisters-in-law said, the future is a new beginning.

Zhang Hongyan’s voice was hoarse, as if she hadn’t spoken for a long time.

"...Umm, thank you, everyone!"

Zhang Hongyan looked at Lin Shou and her twin daughters, tears in her eyes.

"...I’m sorry for worrying you all."

Lin Shou felt a pang of heartache as he looked at his frail daughter-in-law and said, "Let’s not talk about it now, let’s go home first."

Lin Xiaojing’s eyes were red as she clung to Zhang Hongyan’s arm.

She whispered with a choked voice, "Mom, I missed you."

She was so afraid her family would fall apart.

Lin Qingya’s eyes turned red too when she heard her sister’s words.

Zhang Hongyan felt a bittersweet softness in her heart.

She touched her daughter’s face, which had grown thinner, her voice tender.

"Mom won’t do anything to worry you again in the future."

With that, the family headed home.

Thinking the third child’s family would want a rare moment of privacy to talk, the other members of the Lin Family didn’t go to the third room.

Li Xiuli suggested, "Eldest sister-in-law, now that Hongyan is back, they probably have a lot to talk about. How about we cook some extra food and bring it over to them later?"

Gao Ping clapped her hands.

"You’re right! I hadn’t thought of that.

Of course! It’s a happy occasion that Hongyan is back. Let’s each make a couple of our best dishes to take over and celebrate."

Li Xiuli readily agreed.

Zhao Shuzhen glanced over and then took Lin Xiuyuan back with her.

The oldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law were behaving themselves, so she didn’t need to worry unnecessarily.

This was the advantage of having a good daughter-in-law!

After the members of the Lin Family had gone their separate ways, the members of Shuangshan Brigade only then realized what had happened and started buzzing with discussion.

They looked at each other for a while.

A woman asked tentatively,

"How should we treat Xiaojing’s mom going forward?"

She was truly confused!

Xiaojing’s mom was now an object of reform, not just an ordinary member.

Here’s a very practical question:

Ordinary members should help each other out when something arises, but what about comrades who are required to be reformed by the Organization?!

Could they help Xiaojing’s mom during her reform? Where was the line?

Or were they not only forbidden to help, but also supposed to throw manure at her?!

Zhao Honghua said with a puzzled face:

"What attitude? Just treat her the way we always have!

Isn’t re-education through labor the same as us going to the field to earn work points?"

She didn’t understand what there was to fret about.

The women who got along well with Gao Ping were the first to speak up in support of Zhao Honghua’s words.

"Honghua’s got it right! Just treat her the way you always have.

The Organization’s stance is clear if they’ve allowed Xiaojing’s mom to return home.

We should just carry on like before, shouldn’t we?"

Wang Xuemei also expressed support.

After several people spoke in this vein, the crowd was swayed in agreement.

"Right, we all come from the same village and know each other well, there’s nothing to think much about."

Some people sincerely thought this way, while others considered giving face to the Lin Family.

In the end, the consensus was a positive one.

Everyone unanimously decided to continue treating her as they had before.

Thus, Zhang Hongyan’s return to the village caused not even a ripple.

-

Sea City.

After resting for a night in the Guest House, Lin Tang and the others were fully revived.

Gu Yingzhou was at his own home, where the comfort level naturally went without saying.

Delicious breakfast awaited them early in the morning.

The Ruan family was well off and had no lack of food.

With the rare visit from their grandson, the elder Mr. Ruan had already gotten a bunch of supplies the night before.

There were fine white flour, polished rice, a chicken, a fish, and a basket full of eggs...
