Chapter 462: 462 Mysteriously treated in an improper manner......

Lin Qingshan came back late in the afternoon and had minimal contact with Gu Yingzhou, so he was still caught up in the emotions Lin Lu had previously been deeply mired in.

There were feelings of reluctance, irritation, and worry...

"It’s said ’you can’t judge a book by its cover,’ so we have to observe a bit more," he couldn’t help but blurt out.

Ning Xinrou had her back to Lin Qingshan and couldn’t see his expression at the moment.

However, listening to his muffled tone, she guessed that Qingshan was probably struggling with belatedly letting go of his sister and was feeling awkward about it.

"Tangtang is more than a year away from turning eighteen. We have plenty of time to observe.

But, I do agree with mother’s opinion. Comrade Gu is indeed very good in every aspect and matches Tangtang very well," she said quite fairly.

After Ning Xinrou finished speaking, Zhou Mei rolled her eyes and immediately said:

"Big brother is just worrying over nothing!"

"I think Comrade Gu’s eyes are glued to Tangtang like paste, he wouldn’t dream of mistreating his sister-in-law. You’re worrying too much for no reason."

Not to mention, there are so many people in the Lin Family.

How could we let a young girl be mistreated?

Li Xiuli heard her second daughter-in-law’s words getting more and more uncouth and gave her arm a smack.

"Mei Zi, mind what you say a bit."

Should such sticky words even be said out loud?

Zhou Mei murmured under her breath, "We’re among family, what can’t be said?"

Suddenly remembering that Gu Yingzhou had brought quite a few gifts when he came to the house, her eyes brightened as she asked, "Mom, what did Tangtang’s other half bring with him?"

She wasn’t greedy; she was just curious.

That young man seemed so generous; surely, the gifts must be quite remarkable.

Lin Qingshui turned around to face his wife, who had been soaking her feet back to back with him.

"Why are you asking about this? If you want something, I’ll buy it for you. Don’t covet Tangtang’s things," he said.

Zhou Mei was annoyed and gave him a hefty elbow jab.

"Just asking, how does that mean coveting? I also want to take photos. Will you take them for me?" she asked.

Ever since she saw the photograph of her sister-in-law, she had been itching to have one taken for herself.

Lin Qingshui counted his private savings, feeling there was still some leeway, and promptly responded:

"Sure, after we finish the work in the fields, we’ll go and do it."

It was just a photo after all; it shouldn’t cost much.

Just then, Lin Lu spoke up with a bit of smugness in his tone.

"Who goes to a photo studio to take pictures nowadays? Proper folks all use cameras," he said with an air of expertise.

Lin Qingshui, taken aback and feeling out of the loop, asked with a string of question marks in his mind, "Dad, what is a camera? Have you used one?"

With pride, Lin Lu lifted his chin, "Of course! Tangtang took a photo of me."

All eyes in the Lin Family suddenly turned towards Lin Tang.

Their gazes were filled with curiosity and a touch of sorrow.

Lin Tang spread her hands helplessly, "What are you all looking at me for? It’s too late now, if you want to take photos we have to wait until tomorrow at least."

The lighting isn’t good, so you can’t take good photos.

Hearing this, everyone became a mix of disappointed and expectant.

Lin Lu pretended not to notice the complex emotions of his family and cheerfully asked, "Tangtang, when can Dad see the photo you took of me? Is there an exact time?"

Lin Tang rarely saw her father this eager and said with a smile, "Comrade Gu left his camera here and asked me to take photos of everyone in our family before giving it back to him.

He will help us develop them. I reckon it will take at least half a month."

She gave a longer estimate, unsure whether Gu Yingzhou would be tied up with other matters.

"So it won’t be until mid-October," said Lin Lu.

Lin Tang nodded her head.

She looked at her wristwatch, fifteen minutes had passed, and the effect of the herbal medicine in the footbath had mostly taken hold.

"That’s about enough time, let’s all get up now," she said.

No sooner had Lin Tang finished speaking, the people of the Lin Family soaking their feet got up one after another, their feet slapping against their slippers as they disposed of the footbath water.

Afterwards, Li Xiuli made her way to the stone table in the courtyard.

She hadn’t even had a chance to look at the gifts Gu Yingzhou had brought with him yet.

Zhou Mei saw her mother-in-law was going to check out what Tangtang’s other half had brought, and quickly tiptoed over.

Lin Tang was curious too and followed without a second thought.

Li Xiuli went straight to the large bag Gu Yingzhou had brought.

Without a doubt, they were all rare items.

Tobacco and alcohol for Lin Lu, fabric for the women, candies and snacks for the children.

He had thought of everyone in the Lin Family.

"How did Yingzhou bring so many things? They all look valuable, I hope he didn’t spend half a year’s salary on them," Li Xiuli frowned slightly.

Seeing the thoughtfulness in her potential partner’s gifts, Lin Tang felt warm in her heart.

A sweet smile appeared on her face.

But when she saw the unease on Li Xiuli’s face, she reassured, "It’s all Comrade Gu’s kind intention. Mom, don’t worry. I’ve made many things myself and won’t let him suffer a loss."

When it came down to it, it was hard to say who benefited more.

But when it comes to love, you can’t measure it based on how expensive the gifts are or who gets the better deal; it’s only with a true heart that a relationship can be lasting.

Fortunately, both she and Comrade Gu were sincere in this relationship.

Hearing Lin Tang’s words, Li Xiuli’s expression eased a bit.

She patted her daughter’s hand affectionately, "That’s the right way to think!"

"Yingzhou is far from his family. If he has time, you should bring him back. Mom will cook something delicious for you both."

The young couple were already in a relationship, no need for formalities anymore.

Sooner or later, they are going to be family.

Lin Tang immediately agreed, "...I’ll tell him when I go back to the county."

Li Xiuli, seeing her daughter’s eagerness, playfully tapped her on the head without saying another word.

She continued to rummage through the bag’s contents when she suddenly spotted a black cylindrical metal object.

Li Xiuli held it in her hand and asked Lin Tang in confusion, "Tangtang, what is this?"

As for not asking anyone else, of course, it was because she thought... none of the others in the family were educated.

The rest of the Lin Family smiled.

Lin Lu sensed that the object was special and took it from his wife, fiddling with it.

He must have pressed something because a light suddenly appeared at one end of the cylinder.

The beam of light landed right on Zhou Mei’s face, startling her and making her step back repeatedly.

"Mom, what is this thing that shines on people’s faces? It scares the living daylights out of you!" she exclaimed.

Lin Qingshui wasn’t scared by the object in his father’s hand but was startled by his wife’s scream.

"...If you’re scared, go sit on the side," he suggested.

Zhou Mei was both irritated and unable to curb her curiosity.

She shook her head determinedly, clinging to Lin Qingshui’s arm, and eyed her father-in-law’s object eagerly.

Lin Tang didn’t pay attention to her brother and sister-in-law’s quirky reactions, and replied to Li Xiuli, "This is a flashlight, used for illumination at night."

Thinking it would be unsafe for her parents to go to the toilet in the dark as they were getting on in years, she said, "Dad, Mom, you should keep this flashlight. It will make it convenient to see at night when you go outside."

The house had lights in the courtyard, but there were none in the toilet or the backyard.

Comrade Gu really was considerate!

Lin Lu liked the device very much, his mouth curling up joyfully.

"Great! This thing is really convenient, like an electric light, but I have no idea how they put electricity inside it."

Everyone else was curious too, almost wanting to snatch the flashlight from his hands to have a closer look.
