Chapter 711: 711, it’s too humiliating to do so (extra update)

Gu Yingzhou quickly released the bike’s handle, pulling Lin Tang into his arms, flawlessly avoiding intimate contact with the snowy ground.

"Are you okay?"

Lin Tang looked at the bicycle lying lonely on the snow, corners of her mouth twitching.

"...I’m fine, the thing that’s not is that lump of iron." She pointed at the pitiable bicycle on the ground.

Gu Yingzhou’s expression remained unchanged, "The lump of iron isn’t important, as long as you’re fine."

After saying that, he picked up the bicycle and brushed off the snow from the rear seat cushion.

"It’s not dirty, get on."

Lin Tang seriously admonished, "Ride properly, don’t fall again."

"..." Gu Yingzhou carefully picked up the collapsed trust, saying helplessly, "Even if I fall, I won’t let you fall."

"Nobody should fall!"

Lin Tang said as she lightly jumped onto the bike.

Gu Yingzhou felt his heart warm, his tone gentle and doting, "Alright, no falling."

-

It didn’t take long before the news that Lin Tang was not born to the Lin Family spread through the brigade.

Gao Ping and Zhang Hongyan received the news and immediately went to the second branch.

They got the full story from Li Xiuli.

Gao Ping was stunned for a good while before finding her voice again.

"How could such a thing happen?!"

"What’s Tangtang thinking, the child isn’t harmed, right?"

"It’s no good, my head is buzzing..."

She had never even considered such a scenario.

When she first got the news, she was dumbfounded.

Li Xiuli sighed.

Who wasn’t their head buzzing? If Tangtang hadn’t reassured them little by little, how could she still be standing?

Thinking this, Li Xiuli told them everything.

After hearing Lin Tang’s reaction, Gao Ping and Zhang Hongyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Hongyan: "This is probably the best outcome."

"Indeed." Gao Ping agreed.

The couple in the second branch valued Tangtang above all else. If Tangtang insisted on leaving the Lin Family, God knows what they would do.

This was pretty good.

Knowing Lin Tang’s intentions, Gao Ping and Zhang Hongyan put their minds at ease, said a few more words, and then went home.

The people from the main and third branches were also going to come over, but Gao Ping and Zhang Hongyan, fearing that the second branch would be overwhelmed, told them to stay at home, claiming they would check out the situation.

In villages, nothing could be kept secret, and it wasn’t long before the entire brigade knew about the Lin Family’s affairs.

Everyone was surprised.

"Tangtang really isn’t from the Lin Family?!"

"Seems like it."

"I said before that Tangtang didn’t resemble the Lin Family’s child, look, I wasn’t wrong, right?"

"Don’t you feel ashamed saying that! Everyone knows you were just looking for a laugh..."

The person retorted, "It wasn’t for laughs. I was just joking, didn’t everyone tease the village kids like that?!"

We were all just playing around, no ill intentions.

"I’m joking, you’re joking, what are you getting angry for?"

The onlookers watched as the two almost came to blows, wearing expressions of helplessness.

"Alright, alright, let’s not talk about this. Weren’t we discussing the matter of the second brother Lin’s family? Why start getting angry all of a sudden? It’s unnecessary, truly unnecessary!"

Someone smoothed things over, and the topic abruptly changed.

"So you’re saying, actually, Tangtang is a rich girl? Wow, that’s impressive, she’s probably going to be exceptional in the future."

"Of course, she’s already incredible on her own, with a powerful dad like that, how could she not be incredibly impressive?"

"Tsk, no wonder Lin Tang is smart, she’s originally a city kid, how could she not be outstanding."

...

The brigade’s discussion was in full swing, and the news also reached the educated youth spot.

Chen Wanwan looked back and forth at the siblings from the Jing Family, conflict written all over her face.

"Why are you staring at me and my brother like that?" Jing Ran didn’t understand.

"Were you really switched with Comrade Lin Tang?"

Jing Ran had learned about Lin Tang’s plan in advance from the Lin Family, so her heart wasn’t so clenched.

Hearing Chen Wanwan’s question, she didn’t hide it, "Yeah."

The Jing and Lin families were very tacit, and to avoid making Lin Tang an object of sympathy in front of others, they never mentioned that the person who switched the children was her biological mother.

They referred to her only as ’that heartless woman.’

At first, Jing Ze and Jing Ran felt embarrassed for Zhuo Jing, but after hearing it repeatedly, they became indifferent.

Meanwhile, Zhuo Jing, who was having a miserable time, happened to sneeze several days in a row and was scorned by her family again.

But these are matters for later.

Chen Wanwan, being intensely curious, continued to ask, "Jing educated youth, will you switch back with Comrade Lin?"

Jing Ran shook her head, "I don’t think I will for now, and I can’t say for sure about the future."

It made sense.

While the Lin Family’s circumstances weren’t bad, they were still country folks. How could they compare to the Jing Family?

It was said the Jing Family was wealthy and influential—who would want to leave that?

Chen Wanwan’s eyes showed understanding.

But there was something strange in the way she looked at Jing Ran.

Jing Ran understood this reasoning—so wouldn’t Lin Tang know as well?

...She didn’t believe Lin Tang would be unmoved.

Jing Ze, who usually kept silent, took the unusual step of speaking up to clarify, "Although Ranran and Tangtang won’t be switching back, both the Lin and Jing families will be their homes. They can stay at whichever they want, we won’t interfere. As long as the two of them are happy, that’s what matters."

To the Jing Family, they were content if Tangtang was willing to acknowledge them.

They couldn’t force her to do anything.

Kinship should be about understanding and love, not a shackle.

Chen Wanwan was momentarily taken aback, then suddenly smiled, "That’s pretty good."

She then looked at Jing Ran with a gleam in her eye, "So in the future, you’ll have two homes. If you’re not happy in one, you can go to the other, and if you’re unhappy there, you can come back. That’s really enviable."

She was pampered at home and hadn’t suffered much since coming to Shuangshan Brigade; her disposition remained very naïve.

When she said this, neither of the Jing siblings was surprised.

However, ever since Jing Ran learned the truth, she had trouble sleeping for several days. Only now that things had finally settled down did she feel at ease.

Chen Wanwan’s nonchalant envy was truly difficult to agree with.

Jing Ran shook her head, "Envy what? Tangtang is kind-hearted and easy to talk to—if it were someone else, who knows what the situation would be."

She hoped she could also become like Tangtang in the future.

Chen Wanwan also admired Lin Tang, nodding in agreement, "That’s true. You should get along well with Comrade Lin; having one more sister is nice, right?"

"..." Jing Ran crossed her arms, discontent in her voice, "Why can’t I be the older sister?"

The older sister was supposed to take care of others—she wanted to take care of Tangtang, so shouldn’t she be the older sister?

Chen Wanwan looked at Jing Ran with an indescribable expression, "Don’t you have any self-awareness? You’re nowhere near as reliable as Comrade Lin."

While talking, she even patted her shoulder consolingly, "Really, there’s no comparison, don’t bother..."

Jing Ran: "!!!"

Watching Chen Wanwan’s retreating figure, she spoke with ire in her voice, "That’s no way to insult someone!"

Chen Wanwan didn’t respond, but her voice still carried over.

"Don’t believe me? Ask Jing Ze educated youth then."

Jing Ze: "..."

Not wanting to answer such an obviously loaded question, Jing Ze stood up, "I’ll go pack my stuff. You should hurry up and pack too."
