Back to 1984: Let's Work Hard Together to Raise The Kids! Chapter 190: Meeting Lin Qin

Su Shengning saw her flustered and helpless look and laughed, "Comrade Liu Ling, you see, they are gossiping everywhere, we shouldn’t suffer a loss, right?"

"Right!"

"How about we try to date? What if we are suitable for each other?"

"Exactly! Uh, what did you say?"

Su Shengning faced Liu Ling’s surprised eyes, his smile deepening, and then said earnestly, "I am serious, Comrade Liu Ling, we’ve learned a bit about each other over ti, what do you think of ?"

Liu Ling thought carefully, her face turning red, "Pretty good."

Su Shengning’s father is a retired teacher. He works at the police station, stable inco, handso—a condition with nothing to complain about.

Su Shengning’s smile broadened slightly, "I also think you’re quite good."

So, they tacitly agreed.

Liu Ling sent Su Shengning away, and upon returning to her yard, she saw Granny Liu’s furious face.

"Li San’s mother and her mouth! I would love to sew it shut! She talks about things without a shadow of reality as if they’re true!"

Liu Ling’s face slowly lost its red hue, "Grandma, what happened?"

"What else could happen? Li San’s mother just ca over to find , saying you’re dating a young man, asking about Little Su’s background. I already told her you’re not dating anyone, and she still doesn’t believe , insisting you are, and even argued with !"

The more Granny Liu spoke, the angrier she got. She knows her granddaughter’s situation well, and doesn’t need that foul-mouthed woman spreading nonsense.

Liu Ling rubbed her hands, embarrassed and unsure how to speak.

Granny Liu looked at her with curiosity, "What’s wrong? Got a bug in your pants?"

Liu Ling stomped her foot angrily, "Grandma! What nonsense are you talking about! It’s... it’s, Mr. Su just confessed to , and I agreed to date him."

"Oh! This is wonderful news! Wait here! Grandma will cook and add a dish for you, a proper reward." Granny Liu enthusiastically headed to the kitchen.

Liu Ling was puzzled, "Grandma, what is there to reward?"

"Rewarding you for not being an old maid anymore!"

Liu Ling: "...."

While Granny Liu was joyful, the Liu Yongming household opposite had the sky falling.

After Liu Yongming was sentenced to death, An ihua ran away, and Ma Cuihua lay on the ground for half a day until Liu Yongguo ca back to help her inside the house. Then at night, the long-gone Liu Li returned.

Almost scared Liu Yongguo and Ma Cuihua to death.

Granny Liu, being old, wakes easily, heard the commotion across the street and went on tiptoes to check the neighbor’s yard.

Just then she saw Liu Li’s ghostly face under the light, and her heart raced wildly.

Inside the Liu family’s hall.

Liu Yongguo and Ma Cuihua were complaining to Liu Li, "Li! Your second brother was forced into those actions; you’ve married well, haven’t you? Can you find soone to help save your second brother?"

Liu Li looked Ma Cuihua up and down expressionlessly, "Mom, you’ve aged a lot, how have you been these years? Has Second Brother given you money?"

Ma Cuihua was puzzled, but nodded honestly, "He did give so, but as an old woman, I don’t spend much money, we are talking about your second brother, why talk about money?"

Liu Li suddenly let out a sinister laugh, "Don’t you know the money Liu Yongming gave you was earned by selling ? He handed to that perverted old man, do you know what days I lived through?

If it weren’t for the pervert losing power, I wouldn’t have been able to escape! And now you ask to save Liu Yongming? Why! Such heartless scoundrel deserves death without a burial!"

Ma Cuihua and Liu Yongguo were frightened by Liu Li’s deanor.

The mother and son exchanged a look, too scared to make a sound.

Granny Liu shook her head, climbed off the chair, and returned to her room.

The next day.

Liu Ling went to work early, and went straight to Nanyu after work to inform Lin Qin about Liu Yongming’s matter.

Lin Qin never expected Fang ixiang’s fate to end like this, sighing deeply about it.

Liu Ling said, "My grandma also said Liu Li was sold by Liu Yongming, escaped back last night, seed off, I didn’t see her when I left this morning, no idea what’s going on! Sigh! One Liu Yongming goes, and here cos a Liu Li, having neighbors like this is terrifying.

Fortunately, my years of work qualify for the allocated apartnt, I want to take dad, mom and grandma to move in, keep distance from this family."

She had this thought long ago but couldn’t decide. After finding out about Liu Yongming’s deeds last night, she felt fear passing through the alley each ti she went ho; sooner or later the mind would crumble, better move out for peace.

Lin Qin wholeheartedly agreed, "Rember to let know after moving, and we’ll make sure to liven up the occasion together."

"Okay!"

A few days passed, and Lin Qin hadn’t received news of Liu Ling’s relocation, but heard about her and Su Shengning, planning on a big red envelope this year.

As expected, a month later, Su Shengning and Liu Ling ca to deliver wedding invitations.

After attending several wedding banquets, the approach of Spring Festival was not far.

Just when everyone in Nanyu was preparing for lively New Year festivities, Shen Wenfeng visited unexpectedly.

"Sister-in-law, Liu Yongming is to be executed within days, his last wish is to see you one final ti, I’m here per procedure to inform you, whether to see him is up to you."

At this, everyone’s smiles faded.

Lin Yi angrily slamd the table, "They’ve been divorced for years! My daughter hasn’t had any ties to him, what’s there to see! Not seeing!"

Lin Qin patted Lin Yi reassuringly, "Yes! I’ve long cut ties with him, why see him? Best not see him, pass him a ssage for , actions have consequences, his fate today is self-inflicted! My greatest regret in this life is marrying him."

Shen Wenfeng nodded, "Alright! I’ll pass on the ssage!"

Lin Yi’s expression finally softened, "Let’s not ntion disengaging person again, where were we?"

Shen Wenfeng joined in, drank a couple of teas, and then left with Chen Wenjun.

On the iron boat, Chen Wenjun apologized to Shen Wenfeng, "My father-in-law had a hard ti with Liu Yongming in the past, resentnt remains, so got emotional, hope you don’t mind."

Shen Wenfeng scoffed, pulled out cigarettes offering Chen Wenjun one, lit one himself, amidst the smoke said quietly, "I’ve faced bigger storms than this! I understand Uncle’s sentint, to be honest, Liu Yongming doesn’t need to be seen, leave it at that!"

When Shen Wenfeng conveyed Lin Qin’s ssage to Liu Yongming, unexpectedly Liu Yongming erupted in madness, yelling and banging the bars loudly, "Isn’t she afraid of facing ? Hahaha, she’s a ghost! Here to haunt for debts! Lin Qin! You’ve ruined ! I won’t let you have your way! Even as a ghost, I won’t let you off! Hahaha..."

The prison guards regarded Liu Yongming as deranged, ignoring him.
