Chapter 676: Don’t even think about taking Lin Xiaotang away!

"How can we not!" Li Xiuli immediately retorted, saying, "I’m not the one who said this, it’s what everyone else is saying. They also added that if their future partners could have just a few of Yingzhou’s traits, they’d be content..."

Gu Yingzhou never expected himself to become the industry benchmark among sons-in-law, his lips uncontrollably twitching.

Truth be told, this kind of fame... wasn’t something he desired.

All he had done was for the thoughts and concerns in his heart.

"...Everyone is flattering me too much," Gu Yingzhou said helplessly.

Noticing his discomfort, Lin Tang pinched his fingers without looking back and shifted the topic.

"Mom, what are the specific standards?"

"You girl, why are you so impatient today? You’re normally not like this."

Just as Li Xiuli’s desire to speak was at its peak, her train of thought was suddenly interrupted. She complained offhandedly and continued, "The standards for girls to find a partner are the same as what we used to think for you."

Ah?! Lin Tang was shocked, "Is there something about me too?"

Gu Yingzhou’s eyes narrowed slightly, showing no emotion.

Shit, I almost lost my wife!

Almost lost my grace.

Li Xiuli said, "There was something about you before, but not anymore. Initially, I wanted to set a standard for you, but who knew you’d exceed it by so much? I need to praise you for that."

Your eyes aren’t crooked; well done!

Lin Tang muttered softly, "But when Zhouzhou and I first started dating, you all were opposed to it."

She had to act like she was doing something clandestine!

"You still dare to bring that up! You were so eager when you were dating. Your father and I didn’t know Yingzhou’s background; of course, we were worried."

Li Xiuli poked Lin Tang’s head without much force.

Very gently.

Lin Tang immediately begged for forgiveness, "Ow, my fault for being ignorant. Don’t be mad, Mom."

A sweet, coquettish young lady pleading, who could withstand that?

"Alright, alright, I’m not mad," Li Xiuli relented.

Not a shred of principle to be seen.

"You wanted to know the standards for the brigade’s girls in finding a partner right? I’ll continue to tell you..."

Lin Tang loved gossip. Gu Yingzhou sat patiently with her, showing no signs of irritation.

This only made Li Xiuli like him more and more.

Looking at the well-matched engaged couple, she cheerfully said, "For girls looking for a partner, first, he must not be violent; second, not lazy; third, not someone who only listens to his mother; fourth, not someone whose parents are of bad character; fifth, not one who indulges in eating, drinking, and gambling; sixth, not..."

A whole bunch of them.

It seems like all the toxic potential partners were included.

In that moment, Lin Tang truly admired the wisdom of the village’s mothers.

Everyone had such clear minds!

"Awesome! This could be called a manual, quite practical indeed."

Li Xiuli laughed out loud, "How did it become a manual? You silly girl! Alright, enough. I’m going to check on the pot," and with these words, she headed towards the kitchen.

After Li Xiuli’s figure disappeared, Gu Yingzhou said earnestly, "I don’t have any of those ’nots’, so you can be at ease dating me."

Lin Tang hadn’t expected her partner to seriously make such an almost committal statement.

She smiled, arching her eyes and resting her chin on Gu Yingzhou’s arm, which was on the table.

"Of course I know that."

Gu Yingzhou chuckled lightly, "Good to know."

As time slowly passed,

Mu Sheng entered the Steel Mill, becoming a qualified Boiler Technician.

As a newly official worker, he brought gifts to formally visit the Lin Family with the consent of Lin Shou and Zhang Hongyan...

Soon after, Mu Sheng was engaged to Lin Xiaojing!

Perhaps because a long-cherished wish was finally fulfilled, on the day of the engagement Mu Sheng’s face was so full of happiness it was nearly distorted.

Many of these moments were captured by Lin Tang in her camera.

All precious memories...

After attending her cousin’s engagement party, Lin Tang followed her family home.

As soon as they got home and before they even sat down, a group of people barged into the Lin Family’s house.

"Who is Lin Tang?!" The leader came in with an aggressive presence.

Lin Tang: "I am."

The leader waved his hand, "Take her away!!"

When the Lin Family heard this, their expressions changed.

Instinctively, they moved forward to shield Lin Tang.

The leader, Guo Shaohua, was used to doing despicable things but had never seen such a defiant family.

His expression turned grim.

"We received a report that Lin Tang lives lavishly, throws money around like it’s nothing, and has a poor attitude—a certain... demeanor. She needs to come with us to the county for investigation, or you’ll have to bear the consequences!!"

Lin Tang stepped forward calmly, showing no fear, "Where’s the evidence?"

Guo Shaohua was momentarily stunned at her question.

It was his first time facing someone so calm yet resistant!

Once he regained his composure, he said with a stern face, "What evidence! Stop wasting our time; just come with us and don’t delay us any longer."

Lin Tang: "Without evidence, I’m not going anywhere."

As soon as her words fell, Tang Kairui arrived.

Seeing the group, the young man’s eyes were coated with hate.

He wished he could tear these people apart!

The look in Tang Kairui’s eyes was terrifying.

The people who had come to cause trouble felt a chill in their hearts.

"Who else are you trying to kill?" Tang Kairui clenched his fists, holding back his rage while asking.

Guo Shaohua remembered the crazed appearance of this same man when Tang’s parents died...

Better not to provoke him if possible!

As they say, the brazen fear the stubborn, and the stubborn fear the reckless.

Now alone, this youth was recklessly unafraid.

Guo Shaohua’s expression softened slightly as he said, "We’ve received a report..."

He barely got a word out before Tang Kairui interrupted him emotionlessly, "Where’s the letter?"

Guo Shaohua: "That’s not something to be revealed so casually."

Tang Kairui, shielding Lin Tang with his tall frame, said coldly, "Without a letter, without concrete evidence, you... won’t take away anyone from our brigade!"

Especially not Lin Xiaotang.

Seeing how the Tang youth was so confrontational with these madmen, Lin Lu was moved, thinking he was reminded of Tang’s parents. He patted Tang Kairui’s shoulder.

In a comforting gesture to Tang Kairui, the head of the family stepped forward.

"Comrade Tang said what I wanted to say—none of these accusations apply to my daughter!"

"You all should know if you inquired a bit—my daughter is a Technician at the Textile Factory, earning a good few dozen yuan a month, not to mention the royalties she got from the book she published previously. Indeed, we do eat better than others at home."

"But..."

"Talking about living lavishly and throwing money around is simply nonsense!"

"The leaders never said one shouldn’t eat or drink well, right? So my daughter spends her own money and eats her own meat—whose eye is that poking?!"

"Whichever sour chicken, not competent oneself, and yet backstabbing others, aren’t you afraid of oozing pus all over your body?!"

Li Xiuli couldn’t stand idly by anymore; she pushed through the men of the Lin Family from the back.

She faced the troublemaking crowd head-on.

"And you, not even bothering to investigate before trying to arrest someone—don’t you realize that’s unjust?" she said.

As she spoke, she displayed one by one the various Award Certificates and flags Lin Tang had received.

"Look at these! These are from the Public Security Bureau of the county for assisting them in solving a human trafficking case."

"This one, this is from her trip to Sea City. Do you recognize the words? It’s for protecting national property and the safety of the people’s lives."
