Chapter 470: 470 No one else can make her compromise

Lin Lu patted Li Xiuli’s hand and said, "The good days for Musheng lie ahead."

The hardest times have passed, and it won’t be that tough anymore.

Heaven won’t forever shut its eyes tight, it’s bound to leave a slit open to watch over those who suffer.

Lin Tang nodded in agreement.

Indeed, the good days are yet to come.

Isn’t it obvious her parents’ hearts have completely turned over? Smiling_face.jpg

Clothes make the man, and when Musheng came out in new clothes, the difference was vast, even if he wasn’t unrecognizable.

The poor, dusty boy transformed in an instant, causing Lin Lu a great shock.

"Asheng looks sharp in these clothes, not bad! At the end of the year, let your Teacher’s Wife make a set for you too,"

Musheng thought about how hard it was to get fabric and quickly shook his head, "No, I don’t need it, please don’t bother Teacher’s Wife."

Li Xiuli laughed, "It’s no bother, what’s the trouble in making clothes?"

To prevent Musheng from overthinking, she clarified bluntly, "And don’t feel like you’re troubling the family, since you’ve started learning the craft, your master can take on big jobs now – a single one can earn several pieces of cash."

"We’re eating meat; we can’t let you go without even a taste of the soup. So, from now on, accept whatever you’re given, it’s all well deserved."

Her family isn’t the kind of landlord to suck people dry; they wouldn’t do such heartless things.

Musheng was quite surprised, his pupils dilating slightly.

He pursed his dry lips and without thinking, he refused.

"...No need."

As the Teacher hadn’t even charged him tuition fees, he had no face to accept the kind offer from Teacher’s Wife.

Lin Lu interrupted Musheng, "Asheng, listen to me and your Teacher’s Wife."

Once the Teacher spoke, Musheng had nothing more to say.

At worst, he would make a few extra trips to the mountains to catch some game.

"Thank you, Teacher, and thank you, Teacher’s Wife," Musheng said, his lips moving.

His heart swelled with warmth.

Once their conversation finished, Lin Tang raised the camera in his hand.

"Brother Musheng, where would you like to take the picture?"

Lin Lu, ever conscientious, stood up to ease his apprentice’s discomfort, saying, "I’ll take a picture with Asheng first."

Then he waved to the others, "Alright, go do whatever you need to do."

They were blocking the light by standing in the courtyard.

The others vanished in a flash.

After the courtyard had cleared, Lin Lu pulled Musheng to a good spot and took a position.

He smiled at the camera like an old hand at this.

Musheng looked on expressionlessly.

Seeing his severe expression, as if he were about to draw a sword the next second, Lin Tang’s mouth twitched slightly.

There was no need for such ferocity just for a photo.

"Brother Musheng, don’t be nervous, just relax a bit, like you normally do,"

Musheng touched his mouth, managing a very stiff smile.

The smile looked extraordinarily contorted.

Lin Tang felt like covering her face.

How could such a fine young man look so frightening when he smiled?

She pressed her hand down and said, "Don’t smile. You look quite good with a blank expression."

Musheng breathed a sigh of relief as if a burden had been lifted.

Without further fuss, Lin Tang took the photo.

Afterward, Lin Lu walked with his apprentice to the section of the courtyard wall piled with various types of wood.

Lin Tang even heard her dad explaining how to develop photos to his apprentice, "It’ll take a few days to get the photos; Tangtang’s partner said they need to be developed. Developing photos requires skill, we don’t understand it, so we’ll just wait patiently."

Musheng listened with a puzzled face and obediently responded: "Mhm."

Lin Tang was quite at ease with her own invisibility.

With camera in hand, she went to find her grandparents.

Thinking of her granddad’s legendary handsome looks, Lin Tang quickened her pace.

She admitted that she was a shameless appearance-focused person.

But so what?

Liking beautiful things and people is not something to be ashamed of.

The old mansion.

Lin Xiuyuan and Zhao Shuzhen, the elderly couple, were enjoying the breeze in the courtyard.

The handsome elderly man reclined lazily on the familiar lounger, while the energetic Zhao Shuzhen, who hardly showed her age, was doing some needlework while seated.

Nobody was talking, but a single glance between them revealed the tacit understanding and warmth accumulated over the years.

The air was filled with warmth.

Lin Tang didn’t make a sound, picked up her camera, and clicked a photo.

Lin Xiuyuan turned his head when he heard the sound.

Seeing the object in his granddaughter’s hands, a spark lit up in his eyes, "Tangtang, is that a camera you’re holding?"

Before the Lin Family fell into decline, they had small cars at home, and naturally, cameras were not lacking.

Lin Xiuyuan had seen similar ones before.

"Yes, a camera, I just took a photo of you two," replied Lin Tang while setting up a little stool to sit on opposite her grandparents.

Seeing her grandfather’s interest in the camera, she casually handed it over to him.

Lin Xiuyuan took it without hesitation, his handsome fingers playing with the camera, making this antique look even more attractive.

"It has changed so much, it’s completely different from the ones I’ve seen before, much more compact. Society really progresses quickly," he remarked.

He almost accidentally let the camera drop onto the sand.

Lin Tang knew her grandfather was a true gentleman in his younger days.

Listening to Lin Xiuyuan, she teased with a laugh, "Grandpa, would you like to try it?"

The money for the film was within her budget.

Lin Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows lightly, clearly very interested.

"May I?"

Lin Tang waved her hand generously, "What’s stopping you? Grandpa, could you please take a photo of Grandma and me?"

Zhao Shuzhen, thinking she wasn’t photogenic, refused flatly, "I’m not taking photos! I’ll only take photos with your grandpa."

She didn’t like taking photos, but if it was with Xiuyuan, she could overcome the irritability inside her.

Nobody else should expect her to compromise.

Lin Tang felt like a bowl of dog food had just been smacked in her face.

She looked at Zhao Shuzhen, disbelief in her eyes.

"Grandma, do you know what this is called?" she asked, widening her eyes.

Zhao Shuzhen glanced at her, "What?"

Lin Tang used a term from the future to tease, "All is fair in love and war."

Zhao Shuzhen felt it was an insult, but looking at the young girl’s innocent soft face, she didn’t think it was meant that way.

She reached out to pat Lin Tang’s head and said, "What nonsense. If you keep talking gibberish, I’ll have your parents teach you a lesson."

She was being magnanimous – if other women from the brigade heard such words, they’d give her a proper scolding.

Lin Tang was fearless, "My parents certainly won’t reprimand me."

Zhao Shuzhen was momentarily speechless.

Lin Xiuyuan found the banter between the two quite delightful and pressed the shutter, clicking another photo.

Zhao Shuzhen was taken aback.

Although she couldn’t bring herself to be angry with Xiuyuan, she felt unjustifiably upset.

She stood up, took the camera from his hands, and handed it to Lin Tang.

With a somewhat stern tone, she said, "Take a few pictures of me with your grandpa."

She said a few, not just one.

Lin Tang felt as if her stomach was about to burst.

What exactly had she done wrong to deserve such punishment?

Nevertheless, witnessing her grandparents’ unchanging affection over the decades, she felt quite envious.

While internally grumbling, she took the pictures.

Soon she had taken several shots.

Afterward, Zhao Shuzhen wanted to look at the old photos taken with Xiuyuan, gesturing for Lin Tang to leave.

"That’s enough, off you go if you don’t have anything else. I’m planning to look at old photos with your grandpa and relive the good old days.

You wouldn’t understand the feeling of looking back over a shared journey, being someone who’s just started dating. So, I won’t trouble you with it."
