My Beloved Super Fierce Wife
Chapter 508: Do you have to be so realistic?

Chapter 508: Do you have to be so realistic?

Su Zheng’s face stiffened upon hearing that mom was going to cook.

Instantly, he remembered the dad who had been squeezed out by himself.

With a look of heartache, he gazed at Gu Ren and said warmly, "Mom doesn’t have to cook, female comrades shouldn’t always be in the kitchen. Let my beloved dad do the cooking."

"Mom, I brought you a gift."

Su Qi looked at his son expressionlessly.

Heh, when there’s nothing at stake, he’s all too ready to push people away with his bottom, but when he needs something, it’s ’beloved dad’...

Isn’t that just too pragmatic?!

When Gu Ren heard that her son had brought her a gift, she lost all thoughts of cooking.

She looked at Su Qi with a smile and said, "Aqi, I’ll leave the cooking to you. I’m going to see Zhengzheng’s gift first."

This was the first time her son had brought her a gift, and she was quite looking forward to it.

Seeing the smile brimming in his wife’s eyes, all of Su Qi’s weariness dissipated.

He reached out to brush away the stray hair on her cheek and said gently, "Alright, I’ll take a shower and then cook."

Gu Ren’s ears turned red as she gazed into the man’s indulgent, warm eyes.

She then pulled her son along, heading indoors.

Su Qi let out a soft chuckle.

Ran Ran is just too cute. Old husband and wife and still shy.

With a face full of smiles, he went to the bathroom.

Gu Ren, hearing that low and broken chuckle as if laced with hooks, quickened her pace.

Others didn’t know and thought Su Qi was as proper as one could be, but only she, someone by his side, knew just how thick his skin was.

Especially at night, he could say anything, absolutely making one...

The family entered the living room.

Su Zheng took out a small paper packet from his suitcase.

He ran over to Gu Ren quickly.

"Mom, this is the gift I brought for you, do you like it?" Su Zheng asked with his chubby little face lifted, expectantly.

Gu Ren was a head full of question marks, not knowing what was inside, of course, there was no talking about liking it or not.

"What’s this?" she asked curiously.

Su Zheng thought back to how much fun he had playing with so many friends at Shuangshan Brigade, his eyes narrowing with delight.

He first told Gu Ren about how he had made a bunch of friends at Shuangshan Brigade.

Then he spoke about the flower seeds.

"This is the flower Tangtang sister gave me. Planting it in the courtyard will make it cooler, so mom won’t be uncomfortable," he said.

Gu Ren listened with half-understanding.

She opened the paper packet, and inside were little yellow seeds that looked like pine nuts, which seemed to be rose seeds.

Beyond that, there were other seeds as well.

Having read a lot, Gu Ren knew that among them were seeds for geraniums, ’Lilac Begonias’, and several other flowers.

"All these were given to you by your sister Tangtang?!"

Why had Tangtang given away so many flower seeds?

Just then.

Su Qi, fresh from the shower and with hair half-dried, sat down beside Gu Ren.

Hearing his wife’s remark, he glanced at his dutiful son and explained,

"Zhengzheng specifically asked for them from Comrade Lin."

"Asking for seeds?" Gu Ren was even more puzzled now.

She loved planting flowers, but everyone in the family knew she was a ’killer of flowers’; whatever she planted would die, even cacti that are particularly easy to grow.

Give someone else a packet of seeds, and they might grow an entire garden.

Give her a packet of seeds, and she could turn them into a patch of mud.

Su Qi saw what was on his wife’s mind, a flicker of amusement in his eyes.

He took a small bottle out of the bundle.

"The seeds were cultivated by Comrade Lin, and this stuff in the medicine bottle was also made by her..."

Before he could explain why Lin Tang sent these things, Su Zheng could no longer contain his excitement.

He leaped to Gu Ren’s knees, eagerly saying, "Mom, mom, I know."

"Tangtang sister’s courtyard is so cool because she planted flowers, that’s why I asked sister Tangtang for them."

At this point, Gu Ren understood everything.

"So you saw that your sister Tangtang’s courtyard was cool and got these seeds for mom, is that right?"

Su Zheng nodded his head and lifted his little face, waiting for mom’s praise.

Gu Ren lived up to the child’s anticipation, leaning in to kiss his son’s little face.

"Truly mama’s treasure! We’ll plant these flowers tomorrow..."

Having said that, she carefully set aside the paper-wrapped bundle.

She still had a lot of confidence in Yingzhou’s capabilities as a partner.

Seeing Gu Ren’s invigorated response, Su Zheng quickly nodded, "Okay, okay!"

Gu Ren knew her brother was of a cold and harsh nature and often spoke unpleasantly; she had always been quite worried about how Yingzhou and Tangtang would get along.

After finishing the conversation with her son, she inquired about the young couple.

"Aqi, how are Yingzhou and Tangtang doing?"

She feared that her brother’s relationship might have fizzled out while talking.

Remembering how his brother-in-law and his partner interacted, Su Qi’s lips twitched slightly.

He said only one line, "The way my father-in-law treated my mother-in-law is exactly how Yingzhou treats his partner."

So, there was absolutely no need to worry.

Yingzhou had long since ceased to be the Yingzhou of the past.

He had now... transformed.

Gu Ren knew her husband wasn’t one to exaggerate.

But it was precisely because of that that she found it hard to believe.

Could it be that her brother, who had always been on the brink of a beating, now had his day?

Seeing Yingzhou’s arrogant demeanor, she found it difficult to picture him acting meekly.

Watching the bewildered look on his wife’s face, Su Qi shook his head.

To tell the truth, the shock was greater when witnessed in person.

Seizing the moment while Renren was still processing, the man stood up and went to the kitchen.

-

Anping County, the next day.

Lin Tang ate a bun, drank a bottle of milk, and with the recommendation letter and breakfast for her partner, she headed to the Machinery Factory.

She set out early, and there weren’t many pedestrians on the road.

The technicians at the Machinery Factory came from all over the country; there were very few locals, and the most they could do was temporary work.

The factory had built enough apartment buildings to house the technicians and their families.

When Lin Tang arrived at the gate of the Machinery Factory, before she could walk through, she was stopped by a gatekeeper whose bearing was anything but that of a security guard.

"Who goes there? What’s your business?"

Lin Tang’s face was a confused question mark.

Why the hostility?

Though internally rolling her eyes, Tang wasn’t confrontational by nature, so she explained, "I’m Lin Tang from the Textile Factory’s Technology Department. I’ve come to study and, incidentally, to see your Factory Director."

After showing the grim-faced fellow her recommendation letter.

The security guard gave the letter a glance, and his expression froze.

Then an awkward smile spread across his face.

Opening the gate, he said politely, "...Please come in."

Lin Tang felt it was strange and raised her eyebrows, "Don’t I need to sign in?"

The security guard shook his head, "No need."

The previous sternness had completely disappeared.

Not understanding why, but seeing the guard’s duty-bound stance, Lin Tang didn’t dwell on it and entered the factory.

As soon as her figure vanished, the stiff security guard seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, patting his chest as if to calm himself.

Remembering his earlier bad attitude, he slapped himself lightly on the face.

Another guard who had returned from the restroom saw his colleague hitting himself and looked on in astonishment.

"What’s gotten into you?"

The self-slapping fellow looked despondent, "The boss’s partner just arrived."

"Huh? So the boss’s partner arrived; why’s that got anything to do with you? Why do you look like it’s the end of the world?"

The colleague raised his voice in bitter protest, "...What do you know? I gave the boss’s partner the stink eye, wouldn’t you be afraid if you were in my shoes?"

His companion fell silent.

After a while, he said, "Well... there’s nothing I can do about that."

The boss was so petty and protective of his own; daring to mess with his partner, they’d be lucky if they didn’t end up looking like a pig’s head just out of courtesy.

The guard who had initially spoken with icy indifference recalled his boss’s strictness during training, a whimper escaping his throat.

...It’s not like he’d meant to pick on anyone.
