My Beloved Super Fierce Wife
Chapter 440 Alright, here it is for you.

Chapter 440: 440 Alright, here it is for you.

Lin Tang unceremoniously took it and said, "What you can obtain from others without working for it can just as easily be taken from you by the same means.

Swindling is not only unethical but also illegal, and I hope the old lady will take this to heart."

Having lost her money, the old woman cursed them bloody in her heart, no mood to listen to Lin Tang’s words.

She responded half-heartedly and walked away with a gloomy face.

Lin Tang could see that the woman was unrepentant and not truly reflective, but she didn’t care.

She merely wanted to give the old lady a free lesson, a lesson called ’there’s no such thing as a free lunch.’

As long as the old lady hesitates before swindling again, fearing the consequences of being counter-swindled, then today’s episode would have served its purpose.

The party involved, the old wife, had gone.

The enthusiastic sister turned to Gu Yingzhou and said:

"Comrade, hurry and take your wife to get her wound treated.

Do you have any medicine? If not, ask around on the bus to see if anyone else has any.

You should treat wounds as quickly as possible in the summer heat—it would be a shame for such a beautiful Comrade to end up with a scar."

Lin Tang knew she wasn’t injured but felt slightly embarrassed by the sister’s genuine concern.

Gu Yingzhou looked at the young girl, a smile in his eyes.

He turned to the enthusiastic sister and said, "Thank you, Comrade, we have medicine, but I’ll first take my fiancée to wash up. Thank you all for speaking up on our behalf."

The enthusiastic sister thought this male Comrade looked aloof but was actually quite polite.

"No trouble at all, we’re all out here together; it’s what should be done," she said.

After finishing her words, she returned to her seat with a basketful of ’melons’ (gossip), happily joining in the buzz with others.

Gu Yingzhou put his arm around Lin Tang’s shoulder and took her to the washroom.

The passengers had just enjoyed a juicy piece of gossip and were busy sharing, so there weren’t many people around.

Gu Yingzhou removed the handkerchief covering the ’wounded’ part of the young girl’s forehead.

As he expected, not even a mark... was left.

The man’s dark eyes deepened, but he didn’t voice the question lurking in his mind—for instance, where had the blood come from?

As long as nothing affected Tangtang’s health, the rest... he could pretend to be blind to.

Gu Yingzhou suppressed the thoughts tumbling in his heart, his low voice full of teasing, "Did it hurt?"

Her acting was quite convincing.

Lin Tang gave him a sidelong glance and murmured a few words, "Fiancée?"

Her question caught in the man’s throat.

Gu Yingzhou laughed softly and kissed the corner of the young girl’s mouth, "Yes, fiancée. If you don’t want to be a fiancée, you can be a wife, Mrs. Gu, Madame Gu, or the mother of Gu Yingzhou’s children—I’m giving you plenty of options to choose from."

As he spoke, he spread his hands earnestly, as if he was offering her a myriad of choices.

Lin Tang was shocked by the man’s thick skin.

She slapped Gu Yingzhou’s chest, complaining, "Is there any difference? Your skin is getting thicker and thicker."

I miss the high-minded Comrade Gu!

Ugh.

She shouldn’t have taken the initiative to ask for a kiss back then, facepalm.

Gu Yingzhou held Lin Tang’s hand and said solemnly, "How can there be no difference? There’s a huge difference."

The difference of a deepening relationship.

As for the thick skin, why put on airs in front of his own girl? He just wanted to marry Tangtang and take her home, and there was nothing to hide.

Lin Tang met the man’s profound and attentive eyes, understanding his intent.

A smile touched her lips, sweet without her realizing.

She turned on the faucet, planning to wash her forehead.

Gu Yingzhou stopped her, "Don’t move, I’ll do it."

As his words fell, he removed the watch from his wrist for Lin Tang to hold, then he wiped the blood from her forehead.

Seeing the young girl’s forehead clean, he couldn’t resist kissing it.

Lin Tang was slightly stunned, chuckled softly, and put the watch back on Gu Yingzhou.

Watching her earnest look, Gu Yingzhou felt warmth in his heart.

He fiddled with Lin Tang’s hair on her forehead and said, "Let’s go."

Since most of the onlookers were in the other hard-seat coaches, they could afford to be so calm.

Lin Tang touched her forehead and suddenly asked, "... Don’t you think I was being unrelenting when I was in the right?"

She was referring to the incident with the swindling old woman.

Gu Yingzhou rubbed her head, saying, "I don’t think so. It’s admirable to repay evil with kindness, but I want you to do as you please, to be at ease."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tang felt that her values deeply aligned with this man’s damnably well.

Her eyes softened, and she hooked her fingers with Gu Yingzhou’s.

"The carriage is too dark," she said. "You need to hold my hand."

A clear laugh spilled from Gu Yingzhou’s mouth as he responded, "Okay, I’ll hold it."

Back in the coach.

Gu Yingzhou took out some Malt Extract and made a cup, then got out Pancakes and an egg. "Have a bite to eat first, I’ll go get us some food, what do you feel like eating?"

Lin Tang: "I’m not hungry yet, a couple of Pancakes will do. Just get something for yourself."

As she spoke, she took out half a bag of milk candies from her luggage, "Give these candies to the enthusiastic Comrade who spoke up for me earlier."

After all, she got a dollar for nothing, it was burning a hole in her pocket, might as well give it away as candy for everyone to enjoy.

Gu Yingzhou agreed, "Okay, I’ll hand them out."

Thinking of the girl’s reluctance to eat, his brow furrowed, but then he seemed to recall something and left without a word to buy food.

After a while, the man came back with his meal in hand.

Seeing the tiny girl obediently eating an egg on the bed, the corners of Yingzhou’s mouth lifted involuntarily.

"I bought extra, have some more," he said.

The food on the train was frankly mediocre, and the heat made Lin Tang lose her appetite.

But Gu Yingzhou put the chopsticks into her hands, insisting, "At the very least, eat a little. How can you survive on Pancakes alone? There’s stir-fried noodles; they look decent."

With that, he opened the lunch box.

Lin Tang, smelling the decent aroma, found herself less resistant.

Perhaps the chef had outdone himself today.

Gu Yingzhou noticed the change in her expression, a smile flickering in the depths of his eyes as he said, "You eat first, if there are leftovers, I’ll finish them."

Lin Tang nodded and cheerfully agreed.

Ai Gong leaned on his bunk, and a sidelong glance captured the scene; he sighed deeply.

It was hard to believe that Factory Director Gu would change like this after starting a relationship.

It’s just... totally different from his usual professional demeanor.

Feeling Lin Tang had encountered quite a few mishaps over the past few days, Gu Yingzhou vigilantly stayed by her side every moment, following her even to the bathroom.

Fortunately, no more odd incidents occurred in the subsequent days, and they passed smoothly.

Eating, sleeping, and accompanied by the chugging sound of the train’s progress, Lin Tang and her group finally arrived in Anping County.

Descending into the crowd off the train, it was now dark outside.

As on the way there, the Machinery and Textile Factories had arranged transportation in advance to take the drowsy workers back home.

Bringing back the workers safe and sound, Gu Yingzhou’s mission was considered complete.

With Lin Tang having many things to carry and it being late, he didn’t feel reassured and so boarded the Textile Factory’s bus.

His bold frankness prompted a chorus of smirks from the Textile Factory crowd as they watched the young couple’s clingy behavior.
