Chapter 710: 710 Daydreaming and confronting reality are two different things

After speaking, she shifted the topic and looked towards Zhou Mei.

"Did you ever imagine when you were a child that you might be someone else’s kid?"

She had whimsically thought about it herself when she was young, more than just once.

Maybe because of this, it wasn’t a surprise?

Zhou Mei, who was cracking sunflower seeds, paused for a moment.

"Sure, who hasn’t thought that way? The rare times I went to the county as a child, I’d see other kids in nice dresses, eating sweets, and I’d daydream that maybe I was the child of a rich family, just accidentally lost in the countryside, and that one day my wealthy parents would come to get me..."

When Zhou Mei suddenly remembered her younger self, she couldn’t help but laugh.

After laughing, she suddenly turned her gaze to Lin Tang.

"Tangtang, you’re not completely unmoved by what dad said, are you?!" Zhou Mei said incredulously.

Daydreams from childhood and reality were totally different things.

Your sister-in-law must have a big heart.

Lin Tang stroked her chin, pretending to be serious, "Maybe."

Zhou Mei: "!!!"

What a character.

Then she better not keep bringing this up to Niuniu from now on.

If that cheeky girl takes it seriously and gets tricked away by someone, what will they do?

With this thought, her brows knitted together, and she even forgot to eat her sunflower seeds.

Seeing that Tangtang was still in the mood to tease Zhou Mei, Lin Lu and Li Xiuli completely let go of their worries.

The fear in their hearts ebbed away like a tide.

As long as Tangtang still acknowledged them, nothing else was a big deal.

Lin Lu wanted to smoke, but realizing they were inside, he retracted his hand reaching for cigarettes.

He just grabbed some snacks and ate them.

Jing Ran’s words echoed in his ears, "Tangtang, what do you think about what that Jing comrade said...?"

Honestly, he didn’t want his daughter to go to Jin City.

It was because that Comrade Jing was too capable.

He was a high-ranking official, which made him feel like he was in the gutter.

He was afraid that once Tangtang went there, she wouldn’t want to come back.

This trip wouldn’t be the same as the last time!

Without much hesitation, Lin Tang said: "I will go."

It was a matter of life and death, she had no choice but to go.

Even if he wasn’t her biological father, she would still make this trip.

Lin Lu could understand his daughter, but still felt uneasy.

Against his true feelings, he said: "... You should go, you really should."

He began to consider, if once Tangtang refused to come back, whether he and his wife could see her as often as they do now.

Not only Lin Lu thought this, but so did others.

Seeing her family’s mood down, Lin Tang got off the kang bed, sat by the stove, and looked at them with a smile.

"Don’t overthink, no matter how nice other places are, they can’t compare to home."

"Mom always says, a golden nest and a silver nest are no match for one’s own dog’s nest, and I feel the same way."

"No matter where I go, as long as home is here, my heart will always be here."

She hugged Lin Lu’s arm and leaned her head against his no-longer broad shoulder, continuing: "Unless dad doesn’t want me anymore, otherwise I will stick to you for life, and you will always be my dad."

Seeing that his daughter wasn’t estranged from him despite the truth they had revealed, Lin Lu smiled.

"I won’t disown you, your mother and I will take care of you for your whole life."

Lin Tang’s words eased the Lin Family’s worries that had lasted all day.

Only then did the atmosphere in the house begin to warm up.

Lin Lu reminded her, "Daughter, when are you going to Jin City? That Jing comrade seemed quite anxious."

After reflecting for a moment, Lin Tang looked towards Gu Yingzhou, "I plan to go tonight, as long as there are tickets available."

Gu Yingzhou: "There are, I’ll go with you."

He had connections at the train station, and even if the tickets were sold out, he could still take Tangtang there.

Lin Tang’s eyes curved, and she turned her gaze to Lin Lu, "If we can make it, we’ll go tonight."

After all, it was a matter of life and death, better sooner than later.

Lin Lu nodded, "It’s better to go earlier."

When Lin Tang heard her family still calling Jing Ran as Jing comrade, she knew they were considering her feelings, and her heart felt warm.

She said with a smile: "Dad, mom, there’s no need to deliberately avoid mentioning Ranran. After all, she is a Lin Family member, let’s just go with the flow from now on."

It would be unreasonable to change from calling her Ranran to Jing comrade just because they found out she was a Lin family member.

That would unnecessarily hurt people’s feelings!

Lin Qingmu’s gaze was focused on Lin Tang, "Tangtang, don’t you care about this at all?"

Lin Tang shook her head, "Not at all, Ranran is a good girl, I quite like her."

Thinking about how the Jing siblings were initially overly familiar, Lin Tang suddenly understood why.

Regarding Ranran, a girl with a pure heart, she didn’t have any objections.

After all, the baby switch had nothing to do with her or Ranran!

Gu Yingzhou’s eyes softened with a gentle smile.

His little girl, always so wonderful.

Broad-minded, kindhearted, shining brightly...

The Lin Family members exchanged glances, finding solace in each other’s eyes.

Li Xiuli affectionately stroked Lin Tang’s hair and said, "Mom will listen to you."

Zhou Mei gently clapped, then suddenly spoke up, "Oh my, does that mean my big sister-in-law and I have got another little sister-in-law now?"

Lin Tang chuckled softly.

Her second sister-in-law’s focus was as uniquely curious as ever.

Lin Tang laughed: "Yes, isn’t that a surprise?"

Zhou Mei responded, "I’m not thrilled, but sure am surprised. You have no idea, ever since we heard the news from Jing comrade’s mouth, I couldn’t focus on any work, I was so stiff with nerves, just afraid you wouldn’t take it well..."

As she spoke, her back was still somewhat stiff.

Lin Tang found it both sad and amusing, "I’ve made everyone uneasy, but, I’m married now, and my psychological resilience isn’t that fragile. Don’t see me as so delicate. As long as our family is together, nothing else really matters."

That was her genuine feeling.

The trials of the human world can’t compare to life and death.

After staying a little longer, Lin Tang and Gu Yingzhou headed back to the county.

Since they had decided to leave for Jin City that night, they had to prepare their luggage.

The village was getting further and further away.

There were few people on the road.

Stretching as far as the eye could see, there was just one cart and two people slowly making their way.

Trees and grass on both sides of the road were covered with a heavy layer of snow, while the sun hung in the sky, adding a hint of tenderness to the winter day.

Lin Tang wrapped her arms around Gu Yingzhou’s waist and rested her face against his back, looking relaxed.

It was then that Gu Yingzhou spoke, "Why aren’t you talking?"

"I’m contemplating life, unsure what to say," Lin Tang didn’t move at all.

"Contemplating life, huh," Gu Yingzhou chuckled lightly, "Well, take your time, and when we get home, share the results of your contemplation with me."

Lin Tang could tell that he was teasing and gently hit him.

"... You’re bullying me again."

Gu Yingzhou grasped her hand, his deep voice filled with pleasant laughter, "How dare I? You’re holding onto the purse strings, my dear."

It was the first time he had called her "my dear" in the manner of the village men, causing the girl sitting behind him to blush.

Lin Tang, feeling very uneasy, straightened up intending to let go of Gu Yingzhou’s waist.

Gu Yingzhou sensed her intent and was quicker to hold her hand, stopping her from moving.

"Don’t move! The ground is slippery, be careful not to fall."

No sooner had he said this than the cart skidded.

It went out of control and tipped to one side.
