My Beloved Super Fierce Wife -
Chapter 668...I don’t have parents anymore.
Chapter 668: 668...I don’t have parents anymore.
Gu Yingzhou pinched his fiancée’s cheek, his expression calm and collected.
"You underestimate Brother Weiguo and the others; they are true warriors who have been through countless battles. It’s just a little trouble, don’t worry, just give them some time."
He truly remained unflustered by honor or disgrace, always calm and poised, making it seem as though there was nothing in the world too difficult to handle.
Lin Tang’s expression softened, and she smiled, "Now that you mention it, I feel the same way."
The people in those green uniforms never let one down, ah!
-
Time, dragging its tail, silently slipped away.
The county grew increasingly chaotic...
Sudden changes could be seen everywhere!
None of this concerned Lin Tang.
Until one day, Lin Xiaojing came to the Lin Family and unintentionally uttered a sentence.
"Tangtang, something happened to the Tang family."
Lin Tang was eating when she heard this; her chopsticks dropped onto the table.
Her face changed color as she stood up, "When did it happen?"
Lin Xiaojing’s face showed a complicated look, "This morning."
Seeing Tangtang’s curiosity, she added, "The couple from the Tang family are gone."
"How could this happen?" Lin Tang was extremely shocked.
Lin Xiaojing cautiously looked toward the door, making sure there was no one around before she spoke with reassurance, "...Those people went to the Tang’s and insisted on digging up some old issues."
"Tang Kairui’s father was arguing with those people when he was pushed and hit a vital spot, dying on the spot. His mother couldn’t withstand the shock and followed by hitting herself to death..."
The people who came were aggressive, as if they had come prepared; the villagers, having seen too many chilling events in the county, did not dare to intervene.
Who would have thought that just like that, both the husband and wife were gone.
Lin Tang felt an indescribable feeling in her heart as she asked, "What about Tang Kairui?"
The Tang family’s ancestral home was donated, but was it still to no avail?
"Tang Kairui, he seems to be okay," Lin Xiaojing said hesitantly.
To say he was okay, indeed he didn’t seem to have any trouble.
But how could he be alright after losing his parents overnight?
Lin Tang completely lost her appetite for food and headed for the door, "I’m going to take a look."
"Wait a second." Lin Xiaojing grabbed her with a serious look in her eyes, "Tangtang, do you really want to go? What if you also get implicated..."
...What then?
Before Lin Xiaojing could finish, Lin Tang interrupted her.
"Don’t worry, Sister Xiaojing! I will act according to the situation; I won’t be at ease if I don’t go."
Having said that, she turned around and left the house.
Lin Xiaojing was worried, but upon thinking that those people had already left, and there probably wouldn’t be any trouble, she temporarily put her mind at ease.
Lin Tang arrived at the Tang family’s place.
After those people left, the brigade was no longer afraid and did not avoid the Tang family anymore; everyone came to help the Tang family.
Thus, there were quite a few people at the Tang family’s place.
"Tangtang also came," Guan Aiju said without much smile on her face.
The village women had little contact with Xun Xue and had hardly spoken a few words to her, naturally lacking a deep sense of affection.
But seeing the gruesome state of the couple from the Tang family, they still felt indescribably upset.
Each and every one had red eyes.
They were all simple and kind-hearted people with no ill intentions at all!
Lin Tang kept a straight face and nodded slightly.
"Aunt Aiju, where is Tang Kairui?"
Guan Aiju pointed to a room and said, "Inside. The Tang couple is also in that room."
She sighed, "You go in and persuade the young man. Life has to continue on..."
Lin Tang replied hastily and walked towards that room.
"Thud, thud, thud!!"
She knocked on the door a few times, but there was no sound from inside.
"Tang Xiaorui, it’s me. If you don’t say anything, I am coming in."
After waiting a minute, Lin Tang pushed the door open and entered.
The room was somewhat dark, and the light wasn’t turned off, creating an inexplicably somber and desolate atmosphere.
"Why aren’t the lights on?"
Lin Tang spoke offhandedly as she pulled the light cord.
On the kang bed lay a man and a woman, both completely silent.
Each had a large bump on their head, blood smeared across their faces, giving off the feeling of a horror movie.
Tang Kairui sat on the ground.
The young man had his head down, his clothes stained with dirt and bloody water, his hair in disarray, his breathing shallow, like a cold, lifeless statue.
Lin Tang walked over and squatted in front of him.
After a while, she said, "...I don’t know what to say, but Tang Xiaorui, shouldn’t you clean up the wounds on Uncle Tang’s and Aunt Tang’s heads at least... so they can depart this world cleanly?"
Seeing the once spirited young man in such a disheartened state, Lin Tang’s nose tingled, her eyes almost turning red.
She had thought that by donating the ancestral home, the Tang family would avoid calamity.
Hearing Lin Tang’s words, Tang Kairui lifted his head.
There were no tears on his face, but his eyes were red all the way to the corners, radiating intense sorrow from their depths.
"Lin Xiaotang, I don’t have parents anymore," he said.
His voice was very soft, but Lin Tang heard it very clearly.
She felt as if a needle had pricked her heart a few times, leaving a blockage in her throat.
"From now on, I’ll be your family."
Tang Kairui gently shook his head.
It’s not the same.
From now on, he would have to wander alone in this world.
No food upon waking, no light when returning home.
No one to tell me to put on more clothes when I’m cold, no one to care about my chill in the autumn night...
Thinking of the note he had received back then, urging his family to donate the ancestral home, Tang Kairui’s gaze became fixed, landing on Lin Tang.
"That note back then, it was you who sent it, wasn’t it? Did you know already that my family would end up like this?" His voice was hoarse.
Lin Tang didn’t know how to answer, and after a moment of silence, said, "...I’m sorry, I couldn’t help you."
She did not deny it.
Tang Kairui didn’t know how she predicted the turn of events, but he also knew that she wasn’t to blame.
Instead, he felt a warmth in his heart because of her good intentions.
"I don’t blame you," the young man said. "I have to thank you, actually."
If they had not donated the ancestral home in advance, the current situation would only be worse.
Looking at his parents laid out on the kang by the villagers...
Though things had already become utterly terrible!
Lin Tang, seeing that Tang Kairui didn’t seem to be sarcastic, pursed her lips, stood up, went outside to get a basin of water, and also picked up a towel.
"Tang Xiaorui, I’ll help you."
Tang Kairui couldn’t refuse.
He moved his legs and slowly stood up.
Having stayed in the same position for too long, his legs were numb, causing him to stagger.
Lin Tang reached out to support him and hooked a stool with her foot, setting it down, "You sit down and take a moment to rest."
Tang Kairui clutched his trouser leg and offered a bitter smile, "Thank you."
"No need to be so formal," Lin Tang said indifferently.
The door was unclosed when Lin Fu entered.
He set down the bowl of noodles he had brought in.
He patted Tang Kairui on the shoulder and comforted him, "Pull yourself together! If you have any difficulties, just come to the Brigade Department, and we will definitely not refuse to help."
Lin Fu felt helpless; they had no way to deal with those people.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have allowed them to come and swagger around at the brigade.
Tang Kairui didn’t blame the brigade; he had seen at the county what happened to those targeted by those people—did any of them fare well?
"I know, thank you, Captain," he said.
Lin Fu sighed, "What’s there to thank for, as long as you don’t blame us."
The more understanding the child was, the more they felt sorry for him.
After saying this, Lin Fu turned and left the room.
"Tang Xiaorui, you should eat something first, I’ll take care of Aunt Xun’s wound on her head..." Lin Tang said.
Tang Kairui had no appetite, but he couldn’t refuse her kindness.
He sat down and started eating the noodles.
