Chapter 70: 70 Shocking! Has Lin Tang become a worker?
Li Xiuli shook her head and sighed again.
“Alas, even within the same brigade, there are still some with such black hearts,”
the kind who wouldn’t hesitate to take someone’s life.
Wang Xuemei knew she was talking about Wang Zhaodi.
The woman continued pulling weeds without pause, trying to console her, “Different people come from the same rice, what can you do about that kind? You can’t just kill her, so try to let it go, life has to go on.
Your Tangtang has become a worker now, she goes to the city every day for work, and even if Wang Zhaodi wants to target her, there won’t be any opportunity!”
“…That’s exactly what I think, facing someone like Wang Zhaodi who is shameless and thick-skinned, I really have no way to deal with her,
you see, because of her always bullying my daughter, Tangtang’s brothers have beaten her so many times since they were young, but it didn’t make much difference,
she’ll cry and admit her mistakes every time she’s hit, and after a few days, she’ll start causing trouble again, I’ve really never seen such a person…”
Li Xiuli became angry just mentioning Wang Zhaodi.
She had no idea that the three Lin brothers had secretly taught Wang Zhaodi a lesson several times already.
They only kept it from her for fear of being scolded by their mother.
Had they known their mother was so concerned, they would have told her long ago.
Wang Xuemei was also shaking her head, “I have never seen a girl with a disposition like Wang Zhaodi either, our brigade has only produced such a unique case within tens of miles, truly remarkable indeed.”
While they talked, Lin Qingmu ran to the western field.

Upon seeing him, Lin Lu hurried over with a brisk walk.
“Third brother, where’s your sister? What’s the result? Did Tangtang pass the test?”
Lin Qingshan and his wife, Lin Qingshui and his wife, all watched him with eager eyes.
Lin Qingmu nodded, his voice slightly raised, “She passed, my sister has become a worker…”
His face beamed with joy, and his words not only reached the ears of the Lin family but were also overheard by the other brigade members nearby.
Lin Lu laughed heartily.
“Good, my girl is truly impressive!”
“Tangtang passed, that’s wonderful.” Joy was also hard to mask on Lin Qingshan’s face.
Ning Xinrou also said, “I can’t wait to get home and hear Tangtang talk about the experience, it’s really impressive.”
“Tangtang has always been impressive, when it comes to exams, no one can outdo her.” Lin Qingshan lifted his chin slightly, his face full of pride.
While she was at school, who didn’t know that the extremely talented girl was their little sister?
Zhou Mei came up to Lin Qingmu and stared at the wooden box in his hand.
“Indeed a cause for celebration! Qingmu, do you have any food in your hand? Share some with your sister-in-law, please.
I’m starving after being in the field all day.”
She could smell it already; there was definitely meat inside.
Before Lin Qingmu could speak, the brigade members who heard the conversation gathered around.
“Lin Er, I just heard you talking, your girl became a worker, is it true?”
“Which factory did your girl enter? That’s truly a great thing, tell us about it.”
“From your discussion, it seems Lin Tang got into the job on her own? Where did you get this recruitment information from?”
“…Are they still hiring? Lin Er, you old boy are going to enjoy a good life now.”
…
Within a short while, the Lin family found themselves encircled by a crowd, three layers inside and three layers outside.
Lin Lu contentedly lit a cigarette, and even the smoke couldn’t hide the smugness on his face.
Just like the old man at the village entrance.
“It’s all because my girl is outstanding; she earned the recommendation letter herself, and she got the job on her own.
You ask which factory? Oh, it’s the cotton textile factory, the big factory you all know about…”
Lin Lu responded to some of the questions with vigorous pride.
Even his face, creased with deep lines like old tree bark, looked more agreeable than usual.
It was the same with the Lin brothers.
Such pride, such honor, it was as if they themselves had become the workers.
Having witnessed the entire process, Lin Qingmu also received some admiration from others.
He was so flattered that he started bragging.
Unexpectedly, he spilled the beans about the good meal he had at the state-run restaurant, something he had planned to keep a secret.
Once he mentioned that, my goodness, not only did the Lin Family members’ eyes gleam with envy, but so did those of the other onlookers.
Each of them salivated as if they were about to pounce on Lin Qingmu and take a bite the next second.
What was that?
That was the state-run restaurant!
Eating there once would cost at least what their farmer’s family would spend on several days’ worth of food—a lavish expense.
People in their fifties had never been there.
Even sniffing around the entrance seemed daunting for fear of being looked down upon; they didn’t dare to go.
The Lin Family’s young man actually got to eat there?!
Not even being able to compare with a young man under twenty, they all felt like they had lived their lives in vain.
Lin Qingshan, curious about the state-run restaurant, asked, “Third brother, what did you eat?”
“It must have been meat, right? How could you go to a state-run restaurant and not eat meat? I’ve heard their meat is incredibly fragrant, and when you take a bite, your mouth is filled with grease.”
Lin Qingshui licked his lips on the side, glaring at his younger brother who had eaten meat, and shook his fist.
This third brother was being sly, hogging the food all to himself.
Didn’t he think about his elder brothers toiling away at home?
Lin Qingmu felt that since he was going to be doomed anyway, he might as well be reckless.
“Of course I ate meat. I had a dish of mutton, Tangtang ordered a ‘Today’s Special’ for me. Do you know what it was?”
Not waiting for them to guess, he slapped his thigh, relishing the memory, “…Dumplings stuffed with fresh meat.”
“They were so fragrant. The meat filling was especially delicious, and the key was it was made with white flour dough. As soon as I bit into them, I felt my whole being… right, it was transcended,
and with each bite of the mutton—so fresh, so tender—stir-fried with spring onions, without the slightest gamey taste,
the fragrance, oh the fragrance… As soon as they were served, I almost passed out from the aroma…”
Everyone listening to Lin Qingmu’s boastful tales turned green with envy.
Dang it.
White flour dumplings with fresh meat, and mutton, too—how much money did that cost?
There must have been quite a sum, right?
When would they ever get to dine at a state-run restaurant?
The more Lin Qingshan and Lin Qingshui listened to their younger brother’s prattle, the more frustrated they got.
The two brothers exchanged a look.
Lin Qingshan sneered darkly, “Second brother, beat him up!”
Lin Qingshui rolled up his sleeves, ready to thrash someone without any hesitation.
Lin Qingmu quickly handed over the lunch box to his second brother with cries of protest.
“Dad, eldest brother, second brother, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, am I someone who eats by himself?
Didn’t I bring it back for you guys? There are meat buns inside, and I haven’t touched them at all.”
The three men of the Lin Family were taken aback.
Buns?
As realization dawned on Lin Lu, he flicked his son’s forehead with his finger.
“Still not satisfied with dumplings and now you’re thinking about buns? It must be Tangtang who brought these for us, right? Like you would think of us?”
A daughter really is better than a son!
The rascal only thought of himself.
The moment Lin Qingshui thought of the buns in the lunch box, he switched from grabbing to hugging the lunch box tightly to his chest.
Those gathered around stared intently at the lunch box in his arms.
With a noticeable ‘gulp,’ they all swallowed in unison.
The sound was very loud.
Buns!!
Those were buns made of white flour from the state-run restaurant. Who wouldn’t crave them?
