Chapter 709: Knowing the Truth of 709

Lin Tang sighed in relief, "Good."

The Lin Family watched the sweet couple and couldn’t help but feel a toothache.

They were so sweet it was sickening!

But the smiles on their faces, they just couldn’t stop.

Li Xiuli was satisfied inside, but she feigned annoyance and shot Lin Tang a glance, then turned to her son-in-law and said, "Yingzhou, don’t spoil Tangtang like that. Can’t she pour a glass of water? If you let her develop bad habits, what will we do?"

"It’s no trouble," Gu Yingzhou replied calmly.

He was a few years older than his wife; how could taking a little extra care of her be wrong?

To him, marriage was about meeting the right person at the right time, having the desire to take care of them for a lifetime burgeoning in your heart, and steadfastly putting that into action in every way possible.

The marriage of two families was a very serious matter, and it couldn’t tolerate the slightest disrespect!

The people in the room saw the determination in Gu Yingzhou’s deep eyes and were very satisfied.

The smile on Li Xiuli’s face became even more genuine.

"If you two can always be as happy together as you are now, I would be willing to give up ten years of my life."

Lin Tang was dissatisfied, "Mom!"

Lin Lu also disliked such talk and frowned, "Tsk tsk tsk, what nonsense are you saying!"

The expressions of the three Qing brothers also turned ugly, all disapproving and stern as they looked at Li Xiuli.

Li Xiuli knew her family didn’t like to hear such things and slapped her own mouth, "Tsk tsk tsk!!"

"Alright, stop looking at me like that, I won’t say it anymore."

Seeing her relent, everyone’s expressions softened instantly.

After soaking her feet, Lin Tang went straight to the heated brick bed.

In the dead of winter, the bed was always warm in the countryside, and as soon as you stretched your feet in, it was extremely comfortable.

Seeing Gu Yingzhou enter the room after pouring the water, Lin Tang beckoned, "Zhouzhou, do you want to warm up together?"

Gu Yingzhou, seeing that his wife was still thinking of him, smiled at the corners of his mouth.

"No need, I’m not cold," he said.

He truly wasn’t cold.

Taking a cold shower in the dead of winter was not a problem for him.

Lin Tang knew her husband had a strong constitution and didn’t insist, "Alright then."

With that, she tucked her legs into the bedding.

Li Xiuli remembered what Jing Ran had said and her gaze swept over Lin Lu.

Lin Lu’s expression stiffened.

The psychological defense he had prepared completely collapsed.

He found himself unable to utter a word.

Li Xiuli was even less able to speak.

The atmosphere became icy in a visible way.

The expressions of the Lin Family members were stiffer than one another’s.

Lin Tang sensed something was amiss and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Dad, Mom, what’s wrong?"

Li Xiuli pinched the flesh of Lin Lu’s arm and gave a slight twist.

"Hiss!" Lin Lu inhaled sharply.

The pain contorted his expression for a moment.

Lin Tang’s eyes were sharp, and she caught the gesture right away, expressing her displeasure immediately, "Mom, you’re pinching Dad again. If there’s something to say, say it nicely. Why resort to violence? Look how much pain Dad is in."

Li Xiuli let go and laughed sheepishly.

She then massaged the spot on Lin Lu’s arm where she had pinched him.

"Tangtang, your dad has something to tell you."

As soon as the brothers heard their mother speak, their bodies tensed up.

Zhou Mei, fearing that her sister-in-law couldn’t handle the truth and might run away from home, flashed a glance and shut the door.

She took a stool, sat in front of the door, and blocked it firmly.

The sight of this arrangement made Lin Tang sit up straight, "What is it?"

Lin Lu, feeling the intense gazes of his wife, son, and daughter-in-law, felt like he was being roasted on a fire.

Looking into Tangtang’s bright eyes, he moved his lips but couldn’t bring himself to speak.

He knew that once the truth came out, things might never be able to go back to the way they were.

Lin Lu’s heart was beating fast.

Thump thump, thump thump!

Each beat heavier than the last.

After a while.

Lin Lu’s voice finally broke the silence.

His thoughts were a mess.

I didn’t even know what I was saying.

I could only see Tangtang looking slightly confused, then furrowing her brows deeply, not knowing what she was thinking.

"...That’s how it is," Lin Lu’s voice was hoarse.

He licked his lips that were about to crack from nervousness, his eyes fixated on Lin Tang, and he even forgot to breathe.

The other people in the room were the same.

No one spoke.

The atmosphere was terribly stagnant.

Gu Yingzhou was also stunned.

He had never expected such a melodramatic turn in his wife’s background.

Knowing how deep Tangtang’s feelings were for the Lin Family, worried that she might be upset, Gu Yingzhou stood up and sat beside her on the kang, taking Lin Tang’s hand.

"Tangtang, no matter what decision you make, I will always be by your side."

Lin Tang snapped back from her daze.

When she saw her family’s tense expressions, she smiled in understanding, "Dad."

Lin Lu, seeing his daughter still recognized him, nearly let tears fall, "Ah!"

He responded crisply, loudly.

"Mom." Lin Tang continued to call out.

Xiuli, a bit more emotional, wiped the corner of her eye and replied as well, "Ah, mom’s here."

"Big brother."

"Ah!"

"Second brother."

"Ah!"

...

Lin Tang called out to each person, and each one gave her an affirmative answer.

Gu Yingzhou watched this scene, relieved to know his wife was unaffected.

Whose daughter Tangtang was mattered not to him.

He only cared whether his wife was happy.

Lin Tang shrugged, seemingly indifferent.

"You see, does it really matter whether I’m a blood relative or not? As long as Dad, Mom, my brothers, and sisters-in-law acknowledge me, that’s enough."

"Could it be that if I’m not blood-related, you wouldn’t acknowledge me anymore?"

Lin Lu and the others shook their heads frantically.

Lin Qingmu stepped up to ruffle his sister’s braids, saying, "We are family, how could we not acknowledge you? Don’t you know Dad and Mom? Even if they didn’t acknowledge me, they wouldn’t fail to acknowledge you."

"Don’t mess up my hair, this was tied by Comrade Gu, it’s precious," Lin Tang pushed away her third brother’s big hand, her pretty face full of complaints.

Lin Qingmu was shocked.

He took a closer look at his sister’s hair.

It looked beautiful, not at all like it was tied by a novice.

"Not bad, the tying," he said.

Lin Tang boasted, "Of course~!!"

Lin Qingmu squeezed past his brother-in-law, sat next to his sister, and looking at her face which showed no trace of gloom, asked, "Tangtang, did you know about this all along?"

Otherwise, why would she be so unfazed?!

"How could I possibly have known in advance." Lin Tang shook her head in bemusement, "I don’t have the power to predict three generations with a pinch of my fingers, how could I have known? Third brother, you overestimate me."

Zhou Mei saw her sister-in-law completely unaffected, withdrew from the doorway, grabbed some sunflower seeds, and sat down as well.

"Third Bro asked what I wanted to ask too, so why are you so... calm? I was worried you’d leave home and run away, so I sat at the door specifically to stop you."

Lin Tang: "..."

"It’s truly a bother for Second Sister-in-law."

Zhou Mei waved her hand, "No need for thanks, just answer our question, everyone’s curious."

Lin Lu and Xiuli gave their second daughter-in-law looks of appreciation.

The second daughter-in-law indeed brought up what they were all curious about today...

Lin Tang herself didn’t know why she was so composed.

In any case, she just didn’t feel anything.

It was probably because, in her heart, she had long determined that this place was her home, these people were her relatives, and nothing would change that.

Or maybe it was because she was married now and had a new family.

It could also be that, having heard so much talk in the village about how she didn’t resemble the Lin Family people as a child.

...

Who knows?

Lin Tang shook her head, "I don’t know either."
