My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 134 Sneaked Back
Chapter 134: 134 Sneaked Back
She couldn’t tell whether Goudan and the others had left too quickly or if she was walking too slowly.
By the time she reached the front door of her home, she couldn’t catch sight of Goudan and his friends.
"Tangtang, Goudan and the others are back already. Mom told me to come out and let you know," Lin Qingmu, dispatched by Li Xiuli to call for Lin Tang, said.
Lin Tang casually asked, "Did they run all the way here? How did they get back so quickly?"
Logically speaking, her pace had been fast enough.
Thinking about the state in which Goudan and the others had returned, the corners of Lin Qingmu’s mouth twitched involuntarily.
"You’re not wrong to guess that. They really did run back here."
How could you tell?
Of course, it was because the appearance of the nephews and nieces was too pitiful to behold.
Goudan seemed to have gotten caught on something; his pants were torn in the front, and he had been slipping out of them all the way home.
Hutou and Niuniu seemed to have fallen, their bodies smeared with something akin to manure.
Choudan was easygoing by nature, so his appearance was still okay, if you ignored the fact that he was carrying his clothes by the sleeve.
Seeing the expression on her third brother’s face, Lin Tang braced herself and entered the house.
However.
Looking at the four little ones in the courtyard, she was still taken aback.
All she saw were four little bald heads lined up in the courtyard.
Some were dirty, some were in tatters, resembling little beggars.
If you had to point out a difference,
It was that the kids’ skin seemed to have become tender and whiter, making them look somewhat like dolls.
Especially Niuniu and Choudan.
At such a young age, their faces were fair, their eyes clear and bright, incredibly cute.
"...Eh? How come they’ve all become little baldies?" Lin Tang asked with a curious face.
As soon as her words fell, Li Xiuli thought to herself, ’This is not good.’
Sure enough.
Niuniu, who had been fine just moments ago, pouted, and the next second, her face was covered with a look of aggrievement.
Then, she began to wail loudly.
Her crying was heart-wrenching, truly pitiful.
Lin Tang was puzzled, "Uh, Mom, what’s wrong? Did I make Niuniu cry?"
Or was it that her question was too direct?
Li Xiuli, having lost hope for her granddaughter’s vanity, shook her head and was yet to reply.
On the other side, as soon as Goudan saw Lin Tang, his eyes lit up and he ran over to her.
With the gravity of a little adult, he gestured with his hands.
"Sigh, ever since we got shaved, Niuniu cries many times every day, Little Auntie, you don’t need to bother with her.
When she’s tired of crying, she’ll stop; it’s fine."
His face showed that he was already used to it.
Lin Tang was still befuddled, "If Niuniu didn’t want to be shaved bald, why shave her head at all?"
A little girl loves beauty, and of course, wouldn’t want her head shaved bare.
But to tell the truth, Niuniu actually looked quite adorable with a bald head.
Her little head was round, her eyes were big and round, her mouth was small, irresistibly cute.
Li Xiuli said with a speechless face, "Do you think I wanted to shave their heads?
It’s because the little ones somehow got lice on their heads.
Without shaving, what else could I do? The whole family ended up with lice, how could we deal with that?"
In the countryside, having lice in your hair and fleas on your body was nothing out of the ordinary.
Hearing this term she hadn’t come across in a long time, Lin Tang felt goosebumps all over.
Lice?! Ahhh...
Her eyelids twitched violently.
After a moment of silence, Lin Tang spoke, "I have medicine that can kill lice and also fleas."
Assured to leave not even a pinhole-sized egg behind.
Hearing this, Li Xiuli was intrigued, "Did you make it yourself?"
Lin Lu added, "Definitely from reading a book."
Zhou Mei, having finished washing the dishes, looked eagerly at Lin Tang, "Tangtang, when you’ve made it, can you give me some?"
She could take it to her mother’s house.
And maybe trade it for something to eat.
Unaware of her sister-in-law’s thoughts, Lin Tang nodded and said, "Sure!"
It’s just a favor, no big deal.
Zhou Mei’s smile almost reached the back of her head, "Tangtang is so generous."
Lin Tang: "..." So I’m stingy if I don’t give?
Li Xiuli glared at Zhou Mei with a look of disgust.
"Niuniu was crying like that, and you as her mother don’t even know how to comfort her."
Zhou Mei argued nonchalantly, "Isn’t her dad already..." comforting her?
Before she could finish, she was startled by the fierce look in her mother-in-law’s eyes.
"...Oh, I’ll go comfort her."
She obediently went to comfort the child.
Zhou Mei: I was actually looking forward to catching up with my sister-in-law!
Li Xiuli: It’s to stop you from bothering my girl!
Seeing that Niuniu was still crying her heart out, Lin Tang gained a new appreciation for her little niece’s love of beauty.
As soon as Choudan, who had gone with Ning Xinrou to change his open-sleeved shirt, came out, he saw his little aunt.
The little one’s usually leisurely demeanor became somewhat urgent.
He trotted over to Lin Tang with his short little legs.
Looking up at her with his little face.
His wet doe eyes and his tender little cheeks made Lin Tang unable to resist pinching his face.
"What’s wrong?" Lin Tang asked.
Choudan pursed his lips, his voice soft, "...comic books."
The comic books he mentioned were the gifts that Lin Tang had previously told him she would bring them.
As soon as Choudan mentioned this, Lin Tang immediately remembered.
She took out several comic books from her backpack.
"Here, for you."
Choudan’s tiny hands accepted them, his eyes squinting into crescents with happiness.
His expression showed immense delight.
Goudan, who saw this, also became happy, holding the books for his brother and thanking Lin Tang: "Thank you, little aunt."
Choudan followed suit: "Thank you, little aunt."
Lin Lu, watching from the side, couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
"It seems like Choudan, just like his aunt, is a reader."
Li Xiuli also affectionately patted her little grandson’s bald head, saying with a laugh, "He seems so laid-back, but who knew he loved books? Very nice."
To think he even asked for books on his own!
Niuniu, who had been carefully comforted by Lin Qingshui from loud wailing to soft sobs, suddenly paused upon hearing the voices here.
Big tears still clung to her eyelashes, looking pitiful.
Lin Tang saw this and gestured for the little girl to come over.
Niuniu in Lin Qingshui’s arms wriggled, signaling she wanted to get down.
Lin Qingshui almost burst into laughter at her daughter’s "use-and-discard" attitude.
Forgot who was comforting her just a moment ago, huh?!
Internally commenting, but sincerely letting her daughter down from his arms.
Niuniu ran up to Lin Tang.
The tear that had been hanging on her eyelash suddenly fell.
The little girl looked unspeakably pitiable.
"It’s just hair, why cry like this?" Lin Tang said tenderly as she wiped her little niece’s face.
Niuniu hugged her leg, her voice even more aggrieved.
"Niuniu isn’t pretty anymore, Niuniu can’t be as beautiful as little aunt, wuwuwu..."
As she spoke, tears fell again, and she even started hiccupping.
Lin Tang couldn’t help but feel both amused and sad, "Who says Niuniu isn’t pretty? You’re beautiful."
Niuniu sobbed, pulling a hair clip out of her little pocket.
Her voice had gone hoarse from crying, "But, but I can’t wear flower clips without hair."
The uncles and aunties in the village even laughed at her.
The young girl couldn’t understand the difference between kind smiles and mockery; she thought she was being laughed at and felt more and more aggrieved.
Lin Tang let Niuniu cling to her leg and, like a magician, pulled out a red hat from her bag.
She placed it on her little niece’s shiny bald head.
