My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 166 Uh, I can’t breathe anymore.

After the rabbit’s funeral, Goudan stood up and dusted off his hands.

He smacked his lips as if savoring the memory.

Then he went out to play.

He had to show off to his little friends how delicious rabbit meat was.

After dinner, Ning Xinrou sat in the courtyard, sewing new clothes for the young ones in the family.

Li Xiuli and Zhou Mei were her assistants.

Two of them cut the fabric while one sewed, their pace not too slow.

Seeking help, Zhou Mei’s words were particularly sweet, "Big sister, you are really skilled with your hands; the clothes you make are so pretty."

That was something she could never do.

It was like asking her to read books, her head would just spin.

Ning Xinrou was busy with her hands and didn’t even bother to look up.

"It’s normal for people to be good at different things.

Take you and me for example, you’re not good at making clothes, but your pickles are really good.

I’m pretty good at sewing, but if you asked me to make pickles, I’d make a mess of it," she said gently.

Her words made Zhou Mei feel incredibly comfortable inside.

"Hehe, I also think my pickles are good," Zhou Mei proudly agreed, seizing the opportunity to boast further, "Big sister, let me tell you, it’s not just pickles, I’m good at other things too."

It’s just that she lacked materials.

That’s when Lin Tang spoke up, "Second sister-in-law, do you have a particularly sensitive taste?"

She suspected her second sister-in-law had a very sensitive tongue.

She had observed this carefully.

Whenever the family’s food was too salty or too bland, nobody else noticed, but the second sister-in-law could always taste the difference.

Lin Tang believed it was a gift from the heavens granted to her second sister-in-law.

Zhou Mei was taken aback, moved her lips, and said, "I don’t know if it’s considered sensitive, but I can always tell when the family’s food is too salty or too bland."

The reason her pickles were good was partly due to this as well.

Because she got the seasoning just right, not a bit too much or too little, preserving the food’s natural fragrance and letting the seasoning fully enhance the flavor.

Lin Tang’s gaze flickered, a glint of insight passing through her eyes.

"That’s a gift, something others wish they had."

After a moment of thought, her lips curved slightly, "Since the second sister-in-law has this enviable gift, when the Sauce Factory is up and running, let’s reserve a spot for her to join, what do you all think?"

If the second sister-in-law has this gift, becoming a technician at the Sauce Factory should be no problem.

This is putting the right person in the right place.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mei’s pupils suddenly dilated.

Her body stiffened as if frozen in place.

A position... at the factory?

What does this mean?! Is it what she thinks it is?

Lin Qingshui’s mind went blank for a moment, and after a long while, he heard his own hoarse voice speak up.

"...What do you mean, sister? Does our family have a spot?"

The factory wasn’t even set up yet, how could there be spots available...

Lin Tang’s eyes twinkled with mirth as she playfully blinked and gestured a two.

"Yes, we do, our family has two spots."

Having said that, she gave a brief explanation.

"The second sister-in-law has a sensitive tongue, suited for the Sauce Factory. In the future, when the factory needs to improve recipes, we will need talents like her."

Second sister-in-law’s taste is second to none and she has a natural talent for kitchen affairs.

Used properly, it’s a significant ’weapon.’

Lin Lu had already heard from Lin Fu that their family had two spots, so he was not surprised.

As for whom to give them to, since it was all in the family, he thought it made no difference and had no objections.

Li Xiuli’s brows gently furrowed.

Seemingly in thought, she glanced at Zhou Mei but said nothing.

Arranging the second daughter-in-law wasn’t bad.

If only Mei Zi could improve her temperament, that would be even better.

Seeing his wife dumbfounded, a trace of pity flashed in the eyes of Lin Qingshui, quickly suppressed.

He nudged Zhou Mei’s arm, saying with a smile, "Didn’t you hear? The family wants to reserve a spot for you at the Sauce Factory. Show some reaction, are you happy or not?"

He hoped that with a stable income, Mei Zi would not push herself so hard.

Zhou Mei was suddenly nudged, her body swaying gently.

It wasn’t easy to snap out of her daze.

The woman’s body jolted as if electrified.

She sprang to her feet.

The next second.

She merely grasped Lin Tang’s hand.

Her eyes even brimmed with a hint of redness.

"Tangtang, do you really want to give me a spot?" Zhou Mei’s voice was hoarse, and there was disbelief in her tone.

Her gaze fixed on Lin Tang without blinking, her expression more solemn than ever before.

A job opportunity...

What this meant, her sister-in-law would not be unaware.

Zhou Mei wasn’t worried about her family’s opposition, knowing that as long as her sister-in-law spoke up, the Lin Family would have no objections.

But she couldn’t figure it out.

She was well aware that her temperament was not likable, so why would her sister-in-law be willing to give it to her?

Lin Tang didn’t think much about it; the words came naturally.

"Why wouldn’t I be willing? You are family too, Second Sister-in-law."

"It’s still a bit early to talk about this. After all, the Sauce Factory hasn’t even started construction yet, and it’s not certain when it will.

Also, even if you do get into the factory, you have to work hard; it’s not that easy."

So, there’s really no need to be so tearfully grateful.

Zhou Mei shook her head, convinced that being a factory worker was different anyway.

"Regardless, thank you."

Little sister.

Zhou Mei’s heart pounded furiously, as if a particularly complex emotion pressed against her chest. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Ready to burst at any moment.

After speaking,

she excused herself to the others in the courtyard, saying she was tired and returned to her room.

By this time, dusk had fallen, and the sky was painted with the hues of sunset.

Li Xiuli saw that it was getting late.

She stood up and urged the younger ones to go to bed quickly.

"...It’s getting late, you all should go to sleep. Xinrou and I will finish up with the clothes and then go to sleep too."

When the head of the household spoke, no one dared to object.

In a short while, the courtyard quieted down.

In the second room, inside.

Zhou Mei floated back to her room and sat on the kang in a daze.

When Lin Qingshui pushed the door and entered, she didn’t even raise her head.

A stark contrast to her usual noisy, clamorous self.

Eerily quiet.

Lin Qingshui’s dark eyebrows arched slightly, surprised and unaccustomed to this change.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked curiously as he sat down beside her.

He had thought his wife would be in the room secretly smiling, so why did she look so serious?

Zhou Mei’s eyelashes fluttered as she gave him a half-hearted glance, "Nothing much."

Her listless expression clearly hinted at insincerity.

Lin Qingshui felt a pang in his chest, disliking to see his wife’s spiritless face.

The man was silent for a moment, then smiled and pinched Zhou Mei’s nose.

"You’re so listless, and yet you say there’s nothing wrong? You really think I’m blind? What’s bothering you? Tell me."

It wasn’t the gentle pinch of a drama; he really grabbed hold of her nose.

It left Zhou Mei unable to breathe.

With such a rough treatment, all of Zhou Mei’s complex feelings evaporated.

She even found it somewhat comical.

"Let go! Let go! Ugh—I can’t breathe," Zhou Mei said nasally, reaching out to pull at Lin Qingshui’s hand.

Seeing her perking up, Lin Qingshui let go of her nose.

"What’s really the matter with you? You don’t want to work at the Sauce Factory?"

The latter question was clearly made in jest.

"Who said I don’t want to work at the Sauce Factory? Don’t talk nonsense," Zhou Mei said, elbowing Lin Qingmu in the waist and glaring at him.
