My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 263 Knowing the Truth
Chapter 263: 263 Knowing the Truth
Lin Tang patted her shoulder, "Mmm, let’s stop here, we’ll see each other tomorrow then."
"Okay, be careful on the way." Qin Suqing said.
After they parted ways, Lin Tang returned home.
After a satisfying dinner, thinking about tomorrow’s affairs, she went to bed early.
As night deepened, the Shuangshan Brigade was enveloped in darkness.
The Lin Family stayed up all night because of a newspaper article.
They were nearly driven mad.
Lin Lu looked at the latest newspaper brought by his older brother Lin Fu from the county town; the smile on his face had vanished completely.
His chest felt like it was blocked by a stone, making it hard to breathe.
Even though he was completely sober, he wished desperately that he was dreaming.
His eyes were as red as an animal trapped deep in the mountains.
"Big brother, what does this mean?"
His voice trembled slightly.
"Tangtang... she actually... was admitted to university, wasn’t she?" Lin Lu’s voice was hoarse, his words coming out with difficulty.
Lin Fu’s eyes filled with tears as he nodded affirmatively.
"Yes, Tangtang should have become a university student."
As soon as he said this, Lin Lu’s body shook, and a dark, spiritless look spread across his face.
In a sort of self-torture, he read the newspaper in his hand over and over again.
From the rural man who always believed in bleeding but never shedding tears, tears now fell.
"... My girl is a university student!!"
"Since my girl is a university student, where is the admission notice? Huh?"
"Tangtang waited for so long, each day standing at the entrance of the village, waited for nearly a month until she thought she had failed, and still she smiled and comforted me and her mother..."
"And now you’re telling me Tangtang was admitted? What is this supposed to mean?"
"I can’t accept this. Someone has to explain this to my girl, what exactly happened?"
"I don’t even know if Tangtang knows about this, if she knew she had gotten in but couldn’t go to school, I can’t imagine what she must be thinking..."
Just the thought of Lin Tang, who knew the truth but said nothing, made Lin Lu feel as though someone was hammering at his heart, causing both suffocation and pain. freeweɓnøvel.com
It was his incompetence!
Li Xiuli understood the course of events from the conversation between her husband and her elder brother-in-law.
She stared vacantly at her disheveled man and tugged at Lin Lu’s sleeve.
"Head of the family, what are you talking about? What does it mean that our girl is a university student? What are you saying?"
Wasn’t our girl... rejected?
Lin Lu, with his eyes red, explained with difficulty, "There’s an article written by Tangtang in this newspaper."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuli felt a sigh of relief in her heart.
Her daughter’s article had been published in the newspaper again.
That was a good thing.
But what Lin Lu said next pierced into her chest like sharp arrows.
"Tangtang wrote in her article that her score had been taken by someone else." He paused for a moment before adding, "And she also said she has evidence in her hands."
This fact struck Li Xiuli like thunder, shattering her senses.
It took Li Xiuli quite some time to come to grips with it. "How... how could this be?"
Who could possibly be so powerful as to take away another’s admission notice...
"Why couldn’t it be?" Lin Fu’s tone darkened.
"It’s just like the saying goes: it’s not about fearing theft, it’s fearing the thief’s attention. Who knows when we got targeted and someone made a move in advance? It’s not impossible."
It was a pity for Tangtang. She worked hard for over a decade, only to make the wedding dress for someone else.
It was all fate.
Li Xiuli stood up in a rush, trembling with anger, "Head of the family, no! Our girl can’t just take this lying down, you must think of something."
As she spoke, she looked towards Lin Fu and asked, "Big brother, you’re more experienced, what do you think we should do?"
"Can we still retrieve the admission notice?"
In her heart, she already knew that after such a long time, they would probably have to accept this bitter pill to swallow.
But she wasn’t willing to give up!
Lin Fu shook his head, "It’s difficult."
"School has already started for so long, to get justice for Tangtang would already be good."
Lin Lu had already made up his mind, even if it cost him his old bones, he had to find a resolution for his daughter.
Seeing his determination, Lin Fu’s expression changed, "Lil’ brother, don’t act recklessly."
"If something happened to you, what would Tangtang do?"
Li Xiuli also looked at Lin Lu with red eyes, full of anxiety.
"Head of the family, whatever you plan to do, don’t forget to call me."
She knew the guilt, frustration, and pain of her man. She didn’t even bother to persuade him, only reminding Lin Lu not to forget her.
It wasn’t just Lin Lu who had a raging fire in his chest, she felt the same.
Without venting that fire, the only ones hurt would be themselves.
Lin Lu looked at Li Xiuli and said, "Alright, we’ll head to the county together tomorrow."
As for the couple’s younger sons, he had no intention of calling them.
The daughter was his and his wife’s, so it was only right that they lead the charge as husband and wife.
Seeing that he could not dissuade his younger brother and sister-in-law, Lin Fu said, "Tangtang being wronged concerns the whole Lin Family. I’ll call for others, and we’ll go together."
A greater number is always an advantage; even if the second brother gets beaten up, at least there will be hands to help.
With that said, not waiting for another word from them, Lin Fu left.
The door was shut, and Lin Lu’s second household fell into silence.
Lin Lu and Li Xiuli lay in bed, neither speaking.
They wished it could be dawn in an instant.
Tired in body but with no inclination to sleep, they lay with eyes wide open until the morning light.
Early the next morning, the couple washed up hurriedly and set off for the county town.
Lin Fu had already guessed that the couple wouldn’t stay put and also rose early.
Upon asking at the second brother’s house, he found out that Lin Lu and Li Xiuli had already left.
After quickly explaining the situation, the rest of the family hurried to the county town after them.
Early morning at the Textile Factory.
The broadcast that rarely sounded during work hours suddenly emitted the broadcaster’s stern and slightly cold voice.
"Comrades of the Textile Factory please take note, we are now broadcasting a meeting notice. All personnel are to gather in the Square at nine o’clock."
"Again, the notice is..."
As soon as Zhou Peiyu’s voice came through, the factory was abuzz.
"A meeting? Why a meeting?"
"We still have to work. If this delays us, what about the loss in production efficiency?" This came from those single-minded about earning money.
Some quick-thinking female workers speculated, "Could this have something to do with the recent rumors?"
"It can’t be. Does Lin, the cadre, have that much influence to actually halt production for her? Impossible, even if it concerns Factory Director Qin himself, it’s impossible."
Although Lin Tang was a cadre, she only worked at the Broadcasting Station, and it was deemed unlikely her influence was that widespread.
"Then what do you think is the reason?" one of them asked.
"Who knows? We’ll find out soon enough."
This conversation took place in every workshop in the factory, with everyone curious about the content of the meeting.
At nine o’clock, the workers of the Textile Factory arrived at the Square on time.
The expansive and empty Square was teeming with people.
Men and women in workers’ uniforms stood on either side.
Qin Minsheng climbed onto the platform with a megaphone, and the noisy crowd instantly quieted down.
He looked around at everyone and spoke with a cold and stern tone.
"Today, I’ve called all comrades here together, which must be a surprise, but there are things I must discuss during our factory meeting, face-to-face with everyone."
"You are all familiar with the baseless rumors that have been circulating in the factory recently, aren’t you?"
