My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 224 Received nothing but cold stares

But then again, one yuan was really quite a bit in the countryside, so it’s no wonder her mother found it difficult.

The female head of the family was torn, and in the end, it was the head of the family, Lin Lu, who made the decision.

"Give it to Shuanzi."

It would repay a kindness, and spare their daughter any misfortune.

One’s fortune should never be squandered.

Li Xiuli agreed.

"Then it’s Shuanzi! I’ll go tell Shuanzi in a bit, and while I’m at it, I’ll also let her third aunt know."

"Mom, when you go see my third aunt, don’t forget the potion," Lin Tang reminded.

She said it was the miraculous liquid for improving the soil.

Li Xiuli promptly stood up, brushing the wrinkles from her clothes.

"Don’t worry, Mom knows."

"If it weren’t for this potion, the vegetables in the field wouldn’t be growing so well."

Thinking of how well the vegetables in the field had been growing, and how the family had wondered if it was the blessing of their ancestors or an improvement in the home’s feng shui, she couldn’t help but laugh.

Turns out, they were benefiting from their daughter’s good fortune!

Having said that, Li Xiuli left the house.

-

Early the next morning.

It was just beginning to dawn, and Lin Tang was already up.

The air was so fresh it was almost unreal.

A breath of the pure oxygen felt as though it cleansed her entire body, incredibly refreshing.

Today was Monday, the most tiring day of the week, the day everyone wanted to slack off the most.

Ning Xinrou and Lin Xiaojing had gone back to the county early.

Lin Tang had taken half a day off in advance because the Lin Family had to deliver the public grain.

After a simple breakfast, the family set off for the grain-drying ground.

Lin Fu saw his niece arriving and came over quickly, asking in a low voice, "Tangtang, did the transportation brigade comrade say what time they would arrive?"

Worried about being stood up by the brigade, he hadn’t dared to inform the brigade members in advance, fearing their disappointment.

But without mentioning it, the comrades were pushing to get the grain loaded onto the ox carts.

The members were eager to work, and he, as the Captain, found it hard to say whether they should carry on or stop.

He was truly worried!

"They said they would arrive by seven-thirty, so they should be here soon," Lin Tang said.

The Grain Station opened at eight-thirty. By the time they finished loading the grain and rushed to the county, it should be just about right.

As they spoke, a rumbling noise approached.

Everyone turned toward the sound, their eyes widening at the sight.

The towering vehicles ’clang clang clang’ rumbled by, stirring up clouds of dust on the road.

"Captain, why is there a vehicle coming to our village?" a villager asked excitedly.

Everyone else’s eyes also turned to Lin Fu, eagerly awaiting his response.

Seeing the vehicle arrive, Lin Fu’s underlying worry instantly turned into joy, a triumphant smile barely visible on his face.

He laughed heartily, "What do you think this vehicle is doing here, just as we’re about to deliver our grain?"

Old Guo’s mouth formed an ’o’, coming back to his senses, he looked bewildered.

"Is it here to help us transport the grain?" he stuttered.

’Swoosh’—

All eyes were firmly on the Captain.

"Captain?"

"Is what Old Guo said true?"

Does this mean they wouldn’t have to drag the grain carts themselves this year?

If a vehicle was transporting the grain, would it arrive earlier, and could they draw their lot numbers sooner?

Lin Fu nodded affirmatively, "Yes! This vehicle is here to help us transport the grain. It’s from the same transportation brigade comrade who brought us the piglets last time."

Hearing this, the brigade members smiled broadly.

"That’s great, hopefully, the grain delivery will go smoothly this year!"

"Just don’t let it get rejected again, that’s too much trouble."

"Psh, those unfair folks at the Grain Station, each one’s heart is as black as coal. Today we have a vehicle, and we’re the first to head out. I refuse to believe they can still find fault," another chirped in.

"We’re clearly delivering the public grain, yet we’re treated like grandchildren, utterly devoid of reason."

In those days, the staff at the Grain Station were so audacious, as though their eyes were planted on the top of their heads.

Their brigade didn’t have connections, and they put up with a lot of disdain.

Getting nitpicked every time they delivered grain was one thing.

Sometimes they waited from morning until the sun went down just to get the grain into the storehouse.

The Grain Station was far away, and without anyone highly capable in their brigade, they could only rely on the men in the team to haul it to the county, load by load.

Even if they set out at dawn, by the time they finished transporting everything, the sun was already high in the sky.

That’s when the waiting for a number began...

So, you could understand why the brigade’s members were so overjoyed when they saw a truck arriving.

While the members at the brigade were babbling away, Li Jiancai suddenly asked, "Captain, did Tangtang from your family arrange for the transportation team to come?"

This news was even kept secret from the brigade’s officials—the secrecy was extraordinary.

Lin Fu raised his head proudly, his body rigid as a rod.

"Yes."

The whole team was both pleased and green with envy.

They were happy that such a capable person belonged to their brigade, but envious that Lin Tang wasn’t their own child.

The village folk were only a few words in, when Fang Zhitong reversed the truck into position, then hopped down.

"Captain Lin, I’m here to pick up the grain."

Lin Fu greeted with a warm smile, "The grain is all here, I’ll call people to load it right away. Sorry to trouble you, Comrade Fang!"

Fang Zhitong replied, "No need for formalities, serving the people."

As he said this, he looked at Lin Tang, "Comrade Lin, we meet again."

Remembering the articles he’d read with Lin Tang’s byline in the newspapers, the young man looked at him with admiration.

Lin Tang nodded with a smile in his eyes, "I appreciate your help, Comrade Fang."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Fang Zhitong let down the back gate of the truck.

The villagers laid a few long planks onto the truck and began carrying the grain onto it.

One bag per person, with one following another, it didn’t take long to finish loading.

Bag after bag of grain was stacked on the big truck.

There was still a small space left near the truck’s door.

The robust men who usually delivered the grain climbed onto the truck.

Children who wanted to go to the county clung desperately to their fathers’ legs.

"Dad, I want to go too, take me with you?"

As soon as one child spoke up, like a trigger had been released, the rest surged forward.

"Dad, dad, take me too, I promise to behave," said a dark little boy.

That little boy, agile like a monkey, clambered up to his father’s waist, wrapping his arms tightly around the man’s middle, with a stern expression on his face as if to defy all challenges.

Lin Tang was amused by the expression on the child’s face.

"Uncle, take them with you. I’ll look after the kids when we get to the county," Lin Tang said with a smile.

It was a rare occasion to borrow a truck, a perfect chance for the brigade’s kids to get a glimpse of the outside world.

The rough man whose palm was already raised in frustration instantly lowered his hand, his face breaking into a simple, honest smile.

"...Then I’ll have to trouble Tangtang."

Another person said, "Tangtang, if they don’t behave, feel free to spank them, don’t hold back, we won’t mind."

After speaking, he glared at the cheeky monkey with bull’s eyes, baring a set of shiny white teeth, threatening fiercely.

That’s how roughly people in the village disciplined their children.

One by one, everyone climbed onto the truck.

The big truck rattled into motion.

In the back of the truck, the village’s men and children stood tense and excited.

As the truck started, the wind whooshed.

"Who would’ve thought we’d see this day, ha ha ha, back in the village, I can strut around for a whole year."

"This truck’s really tall, and it’s fast too!"

"It’s all thanks to the Lin family’s Tangtang. Otherwise, how could we possibly be riding this truck?"

The truck bed was open to the air; the wind was strong, and the noise from the truck’s movement was loud.

The men had to shout over the din, but it didn’t dampen their spirits as they chattered the whole way.
