My Beloved Super Fierce Wife
Chapter 537: Why are you so stubborn about trivial matters?

Chapter 537: Why are you so stubborn about trivial matters?

Qin Suqing’s eyes suddenly brightened, and she murmured, "Everything has cracks, are they the places where the light gets in?"

"That line is so beautiful. I like it so much. Did you come up with it? Tangtang, you’re really amazing."

Lin Tang: "..."

Stuff like that was all over the internet in the future.

Find one and you could get a hundred more for free.

But she couldn’t exactly say that, so she had to thicken her skin and go along with it.

Hmph.

The thing about skin is, the more you grind it, the thicker it gets.

-

Time flew by, and the tail end of November brushed past.

That month, a phrase appeared everywhere in the country.

"Go to the countryside, go to the frontier, go to where the motherland needs you the most."

"Revolutionary youth aim everywhere, take root in the countryside, take root in the frontier."

A special signal was sent out, and the wheels of history rolled silently, leaving behind the marks of its passage.

The weather began to cool down, and the Shuangshan Brigade also welcomed the educated youths.

To greet the educated youths coming to the countryside, the brigade did a big cleanup and the roads were spick and span.

The members stood at the entrance of the village, craning their necks in anticipation, just to get a glimpse of the educated youths’ elegance.

Lin Tang happened to witness this scene when she returned.

She had no idea that today was the arrival of the educated youths and was startled by the sudden hubbub.

"What’s everyone doing?"

They couldn’t possibly be giving her a warm welcome, right? She hadn’t done anything big these past few days, had she?

Lin Tang’s heart was filled with murmurs of worry.

An aunt spoke up, "Tangtang, you’re back. We heard from the Captain that the educated youths were coming to our brigade today, so we came over to have a look."

Lin Tang: Cough, okay then!

As long as everyone’s happy.

Lin Tang shook her head inwardly and said, "Alright, all my uncles and aunts, you just wait, I am heading back first."

Based on her past experiences with group outings, when a certain number of people were involved, it often took quite a while to reach their destination.

"Aren’t you going to take a look together with us?" another person asked.

"No, I’m tired. I want to go home and rest."

The villagers hurriedly said, "Tired, are you? Well, hurry back then."

Lin Tang smiled and nodded, then turned to head home.

The villagers watched her receding figure for a long time before finally turning their gaze away.

"I wonder if those educated youths will be able to match up to Tangtang?!" Suddenly, someone voiced the question.

The moment fell silent.

The very next second, someone disagreed, "I doubt it. Tangtang has been on the newspaper and received an Award Certificate from a big city; she’s an outstanding youth that not just anyone can compare with."

Someone else added in a low grumble, "That’s because I heard those educated youths are all from big cities."

He didn’t think anyone could match up to Lin Family’s Tangtang, but there was no harm in wondering.

All so fierce!

"It doesn’t matter whether other Comrades are outstanding or not, it’s none of our business."

"Even if they are outstanding, they won’t build the Sauce Factory for the village, nor will they donate medical prescriptions, just to give us an extra source of income..."

"One must have a conscience. You can’t bite the hand that feeds you."

The one who spoke was an elder of the village, and his words carried weight.

The villagers gathered around for the excitement heard him and quickly expressed their agreement.

"All these we know."

"We’re not those ungrateful, improper people. Whoever dares to do such heartless things won’t be welcomed by our village."

"That’s right, not welcome. Whoever dares to lose their senses, I’ll feed them the skin off my feet," someone declared.

The crowd looked at Yi Weiliang with an indescribable expression upon hearing this flavorful statement.

"There’s no need for that."

Yi Weiliang, set on feeding someone the skin off his feet, hooked his chin defiantly and said, "The leaders have said we should treat our enemies with the relentlessness of autumn winds sweeping fallen leaves. Feeding him the skin off my feet, that should be relentless enough, right?"

This quote about treating enemies was something he heard from Heping.

He thought it was quite cool!

The people around were speechless, "..."

Why are you so fixated on the skin off your feet?

For a moment, the atmosphere fell silent.

It took a while before things livened up again.

Just as Lin Tang had expected, they had waited from noon until the afternoon and had neither seen the people who went to fetch the educated youths nor the shadows of the youths themselves.

Only in the afternoon did they see them.

After the brigade members had finished their work and eaten their meals, they saw two ox carts slowly approach.

After Lin Tang had eaten, her mother dragged her out for a walk, and she too saw this scene.

Li Xiuli muttered under her breath, "It took a whole day just to pick up some people. I could have gone back and forth twice by now. If they had to walk, they would probably dawdle for half a month, wouldn’t they?"

Such dilly-dallying!

Lin Tang was mentally prepared.

Whenever a group went out, which small squad wasn’t dragging their feet and chirping non-stop?

Just as she finished her inward rant, she could visibly see that the crowd at the entrance of the village was boiling with excitement.

The ox cart drew near.

Wang Daniu, driving the cart, had a face that was stretched so tight it looked like a layer of starch had been brushed over it.

He looked at the educated youths on the cart with an expressionless face and said coldly, "We’re here, everyone off the cart."

The eight educated youths hurriedly got off with their luggage in hand.

Five men and three women, they looked rather ordinary, certainly no match for their brigade’s Tangtang.

The members of the Shuangshan Brigade noticed Wang Daniu’s odd expression and cast speculative glances at the educated youths.

Wang Daniu was known as an honest man within the brigade, the kind who wouldn’t get angry even when Wu Chunhua scratched his face publicly.

With him looking like this now, there must be something...

Everyone spontaneously turned their gaze toward the eight educated youths.

What did these people do?

"Daniu, your face looks weird, what’s up?"

Wang Daniu glanced at the somewhat delicate-faced girl among the three female educated youths.

Thinking of her complaints all along the way, he shook his head internally.

A troublemaking female Comrade like her coming to the village would probably cause who knows how many problems.

"... Nothing. I have no business here. I’m going to take the ox cart to the shed," he said and then, with a slight effort of his rough hands which held the ox rein, he drove the ox cart into the village.

The brigade members of Shuang Shan had a vague feeling that Wang Daniu’s reaction was too fitting, and they didn’t even unfurl the welcome banner they had prepared but instead watched the educated youths with exploratory gazes.

Couldn’t be... complications, right?

The eight educated youths looked around at the rural mud houses, and a few who came from relatively well-off homes immediately showed disdain.

They surely wouldn’t have to stay here, right?

The relatively fair and delicate-looking girl among the three females, dressed in comparatively new clothes—though somewhat worn, without patches—seemed to come from a well-off household.

Seeing the villagers’ clothes with patch over patch, barely revealing the original fabric, she covered her nose and looked down on them with disdain.

"What a dump! How remote can this place be? Don’t tell me we’ll have to take an ox cart to the county for shopping? That’s such a long way, truly a hassle and so annoying!"

The people of the Shuangshan Brigade were left dumbfounded, "..."

Was their brigade a dump?

The other seven educated youths saw her making such an inappropriate remark upon arriving in someone else’s territory and shuffled their feet to the side.

They quickly made it clear: That wasn’t what they meant!

In Lin Tang’s heart, Shuang Shan held the immaculate presence of the moonlight, something no one was allowed to tread upon.

Her eyes grew cold.

"If you don’t like staying here, then leave, no one’s holding you back," she said.

The people of the brigade regained their composure and felt refreshed when they heard Lin Tang’s retort.

"Exactly, who cares about you? To come to someone else’s doorstep and say such things, you have no manners!" said a sharp-tongued woman, following up.

The others nodded in agreement.
