Chapter 11: 11 New Round of Brainwashing
Mother Li hadn’t spoken when Goudan ca over.
He scooped up a bowl of water and gulped it down.
Imitating the adults, he wiped his face and said carelessly, “I found it at the foot of the mountain.”
Hearing Goudan’s words, the three Lin brothers’ eyes widened in disbelief.
The little sister’s luck is incredible!
The mountain is practically bare, where on Earth did she find this wild chicken?!
Upon hearing the noise, Lin Tang ca out of the room again.
Seeing her father and brothers looking so pleased, she felt happy too, and her face involuntarily broke into a smile.
“Dad, eldest brother, second brother, third brother, you’re all back, go wash your hands first!”
With that, she brought over a basin of water.
As soon as Lin Qingmu saw her carrying the basin, his brow furrowed slightly with so dissatisfaction, saying, “You don’t need to do this; a quick rinse is fine for us.”
Even so, he almost couldn’t keep the corners of his mouth from reaching the back of his head.
Mother Li didn’t find anything wrong with his words.
She looked at her third son with approval, satisfied with his inclination to dote on his little sister.
In those days, girls inherently led tough lives, and they only had a few years of carefree living.
Her daughter, in her own ho, would be indulged as she wished.
Seeing her third brother treating her like a porcelain doll, Lin Tang, with a face like a thundercloud, said, “Third brother, have you forgotten that I’m the one who can catch a wild chicken?”
She’s quite the capable one.
A basin of water? She could handle a whole bucket!
In his heart, Lin Qingmu didn’t really believe her small fra could catch the cunning wild chicken.
He simply thought that this ti his sister was lucky.
A blind cat ran into a dead mouse and caught it.
But he has always been an irrational sister spoiler, so he earnestly said, “That’s right, that’s right, little sister is the most amazing.”
Lin Tang proudly lifted her little chin.
Even clad in clothes dusty and patched, she didn’t look like a typical farm child.
Lin Qingmu felt a tender feeling in his heart and reached out to ruffle her head like he did when she was younger.
But looking down and seeing the black mud on his fingers, he awkwardly retracted his hand with a smile.
When Lin Tang had first co to that era, she often thought of her third brother, who carried her on his back and ran around the brigade when she was little.
She always imagined that if her brothers had been there, she wouldn’t have been bullied by the kids at the orphanage.
Ultimately, her face was ruined by a girl described as ‘innocent yet sensible and adorable’, turning her into a woman without a face.
Lin Tang gazed absentmindedly at her third brother washing his hands, but in Lin Qingmu’s eyes, it was as if his little sister couldn’t get enough of her third brother’s company.
He couldn’t help but feel pleased.
Lin Qingmu proudly raised his eyebrows at his father and brothers, his face radiating with triumph.
He was indeed Tangtang’s favorite brother!
After the incident where Lin Tang found wild chicken eggs, and then wild chickens and rabbits too, Goudan had grown significantly fonder and more affectionate towards his little aunt.
Leading his younger brother Choudan, he followed closely behind Lin Tang, looking quite comical.
Having washed his hands, Lin Qingmu playfully flicked water at the two little boys, laughing, “What are you two silly boys following Tangtang for?”
Choudan looked at his brother in confusion, his little face puzzled.
Goudan’s face lifted, his dark eyes flashing with astuteness.
However, he put on an honest face and scratched his head imitating their father, saying, “Nothing.”
Following his little aunt ant getting to eat at.
Plus, his little aunt was now gentle and generous, and the prettiest girl in the village—he liked following her around.
Choudan, still young, also smiled blankly and said softly, “Nothing.”
The Lin family couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Looking at her harmonious family, Lin Tang smiled with a twinkle in her eyes.
This was the family she had dread of day and night!
It was wonderful to be back.
Being with her family, even eating coarse rice and vegetables was joyful!
Ning Xinrou and Zhou i finished tidying up the vegetable garden and heard laughter coming from the kitchen, so they went in too.
“What’s making everyone so happy? Mom, what’s the good news? Let big sister-in-law and I share the joy.”
Zhou i’s voice entered the room before she did.
Seeing his wife co in, Lin Qingshui said with a smile, “i Zi, Tangtang found a wild chicken; we’ve got at to eat today.”
Say what?
at?!
Zhou i looked dazed, her thoughts racing. Could the always hungry Lin family actually have at to eat?
How could she not believe it?
But she had to believe it.
As Zhou i looked up, she caught sight of the pale, tender chicken on the chopping board.
“Oh my old mother, it’s really at!” she exclaid, reaching out to touch it.
Li Xiuli, seeing her sooty hands, rapped them with the rolling pin and shot her second daughter-in-law a stern glance.
“What are you touching? Look at how dirty your hands are!
It’s utterly shaful; go out quickly, don’t stress your mother out here.”
That last part was sothing Tangtang had said.
Zhou i felt wronged inside, but she was used to her mother-in-law’s nagging and had developed a thick skin.
She wasn’t going anywhere.
at, oh, it was at.
Even if she couldn’t eat it, just looking was good enough!
Ning Xinrou was used to her sister-in-law’s ways and with a hint of helplessness in her eyes, she smiled and asked Li Xiuli,
“Mom, did Tangtang truly find this at in the mountains?”
Are there still wild creatures in the mountains?
Li Xiuli, frail in stature, straightened up slightly, her gaze towards Lin Tang full of affection.
“It’s Tangtang, she saw how hard we were working and went to the mountains specially to catch it.”
With a serious look on her face, she continued,
“You all know how dangerous the mountains are!
Last year, didn’t your Uncle Jiangang, Shuanzi’s dad, get eaten alive by a bear, forever left on the mountainside?
The mountains are fraught with peril; do you know the risk your sister took to get this at for you?
I don’t expect you to rember Tangtang’s kindness, just don’t be ungrateful like that white-eyed wolf. It’s just that my Tangtang is kind-hearted and sensible…”
Lin Tang’s face had already turned red with embarrassnt.
Well, she wasn’t that noble…
Lin Lu also warned his three sons with a stern look.
“Your mother is right; Tangtang cares for this family, wanting to make up for our shortcomings by getting at and eggs.
But you must not expect this of her; she owes you nothing!”
Lin Qingshui quickly joined in, “That’s for sure, it’s our duty to care for our younger sister.
She has consideration for us, and we care for her just the sa.”
“Tangtang, don’t worry, when your third brother has so free ti, he’ll go find so wild fruits for you.”
And there was Wang Zhaodi; her account had yet to be settled!
The eldest, Lin Qingshan, nodded seriously, saying solemnly,
“Dad, Mom, don’t worry, our family doesn’t have any ungrateful people. We rember the kindness our sister has shown us.”
Taking care of one’s younger siblings is one’s duty.
Lin Qingshui glanced at his wife Zhou i and heaved a silent sigh.
He hurriedly echoed, “What Big Brother and Third Brother said is right; I feel the sa.”
His parents were clearly targeting his difficult daughter-in-law with their words. Tsk!
Marrying a greedy and tactless wife, what could he do?
He could only teach her slowly!
Goudan was clueless about why all the adults were so serious.
Seeing that everyone had said their piece, he timidly chid in,
“Dad, can you make
a small cage?” he tugged at his father’s sleeve and asked.
