My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 123 as if seeing the world’s unevenness

Before he had finished speaking, Lin Lu cut him off.

"... Both Big Brother and Third Brother’s families have it; this Medicinal Wine is quite effective. Mom, let Dad give it a try, Tangtang said it’s for nourishment."

Upon hearing it was from Tangtang, Zhao Shuzhen’s expression changed slightly.

Impatience disappeared from her face in an instant.

She took the Medicinal Wine, opened it immediately, and then sniffed it.

The medicinal scent was faint, and she couldn’t detect much from it.

Considering that Tangtang had previously saved her second son with a tube of green liquid medicine, Zhao Shuzhen had an ineffable confidence in her granddaughter.

She had a feeling that this Medicinal Wine would be of great use to Xiuyuan.

"Xiuli and I took a sip, and we both felt the effects were particularly noticeable..." Lin Lu explained earnestly.

It was as if he were a child who had gotten something good and was showing it off to the adults at home.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shuzhen’s eyes brightened, and she looked at the bottle of Medicinal Wine completely differently.

Since both the second son and his wife said so, it seemed to be truly effective.

Thinking so, she looked toward Lin Xiuyuan beside her, her expression ecstatic.

Lin Xiuyuan meeting his wife’s gleaming eyes, felt a twinge in his heart.

He patted Zhao Shuzhen’s hand soothingly, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"Don’t worry, I’ll be alright."

After the family fell into hardship and he lost contact with his relatives due to the chaos of war, he had suffered a lot.

His already frail health had deteriorated even further.

If he hadn’t met Shuzhen, he feared he would have long passed away.

In the eyes of outsiders, his wife was fierce, spoke directly, and was stronger than seemed possible for a woman, a shrew who would easily pull out a knife.

But those people didn’t know.

When the surrounding environment became chaotic, if one didn’t become tough, it was a dead end.

Besides.

Shuzhen had endured so much hardship and suffered so many injustices for him and the children.

If he were to treat his wife poorly now, that would be utterly heartless.

Thinking of all Shuzhen had done for his health, Lin Xiuyuan’s heart felt both sour and warm.

If only this Medicinal Wine could truly be effective.

He wanted to accompany his wife for a few more years and make up for some of the things he owed her.

After comforting Zhao Shuzhen, Lin Xiuyuan turned to his son.

"We trouble Tangtang, and thank you for bringing it over."

Li Xiuli quickly replied, "No trouble at all, it’s Tangtang who keeps you in mind, my husband and I didn’t do much."

When she first married into the Lin Family, facing such a unique father-in-law, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Over time, she got used to it.

Her father-in-law was just a bit cold and overly polite, but other than that, all was good.

Lin Lu chuckled and said, "As the younger generation, it’s only right to be filial to our elders."

Next to the exceedingly talented and handsome Lin Xiuyuan, his naive laughter made him look even more like a long-term laborer from a big family.

Li Xiuli watching from the side couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of her mouth, finding it hard to witness.

After more than two decades, looking at this contrast still wasn’t easy.

From her father-in-law and husband, it was as if she could see the disparities of the world.

After delivering the Medicinal Wine, Lin Lu and Li Xiuli went back.

After the Jiang Family moved out.

The same day after work, Lin Tang began tidying up the house right away.

In another room, she added a few things according to her own ideas.

She applied clean, inconspicuous wallpaper.

A tall, standing cabinet was placed in the room.

On the other side, against the wall, a large wardrobe was placed.

The kang bed was covered with thick mattresses, and the quilts were neatly folded against the wall.

The kang table was set aside.

The top of the large cabinet held various other items.

She also tidied up the courtyard.

The small Vegetable Garden was fenced off, making it look much neater.

Lin Tang was strong and worked quickly; it didn’t take long for her to tidy up the courtyard.

Looking at her home that was almost as she had imagined it, she smiled slightly.

When her family came back to the county, they would have a place to stay.

Just then.

Lin Tang heard a commotion at the door.

Mixed in was a familiar male voice.

Her face changed ever so slightly.

She cracked the door open and looked outside.

She saw her cousin, Lin Aiguo, gasping for air, filthy and in a sorry state like a stray dog.

By his side was a thin young man who looked like a monkey.

The two of them leaned side by side against the wall by her family’s door.

Seemingly... taking a breather?

Lin Tang had no time to speak.

A mess of footsteps and curses came from afar.

"Son of a bitch, he sure can run. If I catch him, I’ll break his damn legs."

"Gouge, don’t get mad. That punk can’t get far. Once we catch him, us brothers will vent your anger."

"Right, right, right, there’s no need to get so worked up over some small fry.

But honestly, the kid can really bolt—one moment he was here, the next, he vanished."

"Tch, even if he had eight legs, he wouldn’t be able to escape our brothers’ watchful eyes."

...

Lin Tang barely heard the voices when she quickly opened the door and pulled Lin Aiguo and the other man inside, all in one smooth motion.

Lin Aiguo and his friend also heard the noises and were about to keep running when they suddenly found themselves in a different place.

They were startled.

They meant to fling off whoever grabbed them, but the hand didn’t even budge.

Just as they were about to speak.

They were cut off by a charming voice, "... don’t talk yet."

Lin Tang spoke only one sentence, then went to the door and quickly locked the courtyard gate.

It seemed like just an instant, and voices passed outside the door.

"Damn it, I just saw a figure, and in the blink of an eye, he’s gone."

"They can’t have gotten far. Keep chasing!"

"We must not let those two get away..."

...

Inside the courtyard, Lin Tang listened to the cold voices passing by the entrance, frowning slightly.

When the voices faded.

She looked at Lin Aiguo with suspicion.

"Brother Aiguo, who are those people? Why are they chasing you?"

They didn’t seem like good people.

Lin Aiguo touched his nose, looking guilty.

"... they are from the black market."

After saying this, he quickly added in a panic, "Tangtang, you mustn’t tell our parents, or I’ll be stuck indoors forever."

The young man beside him was totally confused.

The fearless Brother Lin actually had something he was afraid of!

Lin Tang snorted, "I don’t have time for that nonsense."

Lin Aiguo heaved a sigh of relief.

The solemn look on his face disappeared instantly.

The tension eased.

He returned to his careless manner, laughing, "Heh heh, I knew it. You’ve got loyalty, a true sister of mine!"

As soon as he finished.

A rumble came from his stomach.

And as his stomach growled, the young man beside Lin Aiguo’s also echoed with thunderous sounds.

The scene turned momentarily awkward and silent.

The faces of the two men in their early twenties turned beet red.

Lin Tang’s expression didn’t change as she said, "Brother Aiguo, take this comrade inside first; I’ll cook."

She pointed to the newly tidied room, dropped the words, and headed to the kitchen.

Lin Aiguo exclaimed and quickly followed after her.

"How can I let you cook for me? That’d be asking for trouble.

Just tell me where the stuff is. I’ll do it myself. Nothing fancy, just slap together something to eat."

Hearing the voice, Lin Tang paused, turned back to look at him, and said.

"You don’t need to help; go and wash up. Make your friend comfortable. I’ll make a couple of bowls of noodles, it’ll be ready in no time."

Saying this, she handed him the washbasin from the courtyard.

Lin Aiguo reluctantly accepted it and said, "Are you sure you don’t need my help? Can you manage it? Don’t hurt yourself."

His sister had never worked in the kitchen before!
