My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 137: Almost popping out his eyeballs

Lin Tang realized it was getting late, and the family’s nap time had already been delayed by almost half an hour.

She hurriedly said, "Dad, Mom, you should hurry back to your room to rest, I’m going to take Niuniu back to ours too."

Li Xiuli waved her hand to let Lin Lu go back to his room first.

Then she followed Lin Tang to her room.

"Tangtang, the bedding was just aired out a few days ago, and I clean the room every day, it’s nice and clean..." Li Xiuli, knowing her daughter’s penchant for cleanliness, said lovingly as she spread the bed.

Seeing this, Lin Tang walked over to take over and said, "Mom, I can do it myself. You should go and get some rest before it’s time to start work."

Li Xiuli hadn’t realized her hands were empty.

Looking at her daughter’s nimble actions, she was taken aback and felt a sourness in her heart.

It seemed that in the blink of an eye, the little girl had grown up.

"...Okay, then I’ll head back to my room now."

After saying this, Li Xiuli left.

Once she had gone, Niuniu closed the door.

Climbing onto the bed, she peeled off her clothes.

As Lin Tang got into bed, the soft body nestled into her embrace.

The little girl chuckled with delight.

Her eyes squinted, mouth spread into a wide grin.

She looked like a little milk dog eagerly waiting for a treat, soft and cute.

Lin Tang gently patted her niece’s head, her voice tender, "Go to sleep now."

Niuniu was sleepy too.

She yawned and mumbled affectionately, "...Auntie smells nice."

Soon after, she fell asleep.

At the Lin Family’s second household.

Zhou Mei tucked Hutou in and shot Lin Qingshui a sidelong glance, her demeanor still haughty.

She slipped off her shoes and hoisted herself onto the kang bed.

Laying down, she propped up one leg, looking as smug as a boss.

She waited expectantly for Lin Qingshui to say something nice.

Having been married to her for a few years, Lin Qingshui was certainly aware of Zhou Mei’s expectations.

Yet, he genuinely had underestimated Mei Zi that day, which he admitted.

"Ahem..." Lin Qingshui cleared his throat and said, "I underestimated you today, that was my mistake."

The truth was, in his eyes, this clumsy wife had always been a fussy and argumentative drama queen.

Her unexpected move just now, so at odds with her usual behavior, nearly made his eyes pop out.

However, he felt particularly gratified that day because his wife had finally realized that she couldn’t just take things for granted.

Although those pickles weren’t worth much, Mei Zi had invested a lot of effort into making them. She rarely indulged in them herself, so it was commendable that she offered them at all.

Lin Qingshui didn’t expect his wife to be exceptionally virtuous or skilled, just to get along well with the family was enough.

Zhou Mei, seeing her husband yield, couldn’t help but let her lips curve upwards.

She kept her face as controlled as possible, not wanting to show her triumph.

Thinking of something, she unfolded her leg and sat up.

She pounced towards the edge of the kang bed, sat on the man’s waist, and started to thump him.

"...Looking down on who?"

She thumped again and continued, "Hmph! I’ve said I would change, and there you are still peeking through the cracks, isn’t that petty?"

She thumped him again, venting her frustration.

"Am I that kind of petty person?" She sounded almost like she was grinding her teeth when the word ’petty’ came up.

Lin Qingshui looked at her, a smile in his voice, "...Yes!"

The pettiest, with no one else coming close for the time being.

Not only was she petty, but she also held grudges, or else she wouldn’t be thumping him like this now.

Zhou Mei was taken aback, grinding her teeth, she lowered her voice and said, "Well done, Lin Qingshui!"

"How come I didn’t realize before that you’re the kind of man who undermines his wife? What good does it do you to talk about your child’s mother like that?"

She glared at Lin Qingshui, fuming with anger.

Lin Qingshui laughed, he complimented her discreetly.

"It’s of no benefit to me, I’m just honest.

Plus, my wife is magnanimous and wouldn’t get mad over such trifles."

Zhou Mei, charmed and delighted, struggled to keep her smile flat, but it rose proudly nonetheless.

I couldn’t have been more proud in my heart.

"Now you know to praise me, how come I don’t see you talking like this when you’re usually picking on me?"

Lin Qingshui could certainly tell his wife was putting on airs, a faint twitch at the corner of his mouth.

"Yes, yes, yes, it was my mistake for underestimating you, not recognizing Mt. Tai.

Don’t be unrelenting now that you have the upper hand. Go get some rest."

Zhou Mei smiled triumphantly and, unable to carry on, pulled the blanket over herself and fell asleep.

Lin Lu lay on the bed with his eyes closed.

Hearing the familiar footsteps, he opened his eyes.

Seeing Li Xiuli’s somewhat despondent expression, he sat up.

"Wife, what’s wrong? Why do I sense you’re not happy? Aren’t all our daughters back?"

Li Xiuli sighed, feeling indescribably conflicted.

"...It’s nothing, it’s just that Tangtang..."

Thinking something had happened to his daughter, Lin Lu hastily tried to get off the bed.

Seeing this, Li Xiuli pressed him back down.

"Tangtang is fine," she said, slightly annoyed.

Lin Lu was confused.

What was going on then?

Li Xiuli began, "I just feel like Tangtang suddenly grew up, and it’s put me in a strange mood."

Seeing Tangtang’s independent demeanor, she felt a mix of emotions.

There was pride, but even more so, a sense of loss.

Lin Lu thought his wife was fretting over something else, but when he heard her words, he also felt uncomfortable.

"Kids will always grow up."

"With Tangtang working outside now, if she were still a child, you’d be worried, wouldn’t you?"

"I’ve come to understand that Tangtang is more capable than the three boys; she can’t be confined to this place.

Tangtang is like the eagle my father used to talk about, with broad wings and eyes that see far.

All we can do is take good care of ourselves, so she won’t have to worry about us."

He was usually a man of few words, but speaking such reason all of a sudden made Li Xiuli take notice.

The complicated feelings in her heart dissipated in an instant.

"I never realized before, you have such a way with words! If Tangtang heard this, she’d definitely praise you," she said with a laugh.

Lin Lu paused, silent for a moment, then as if casually asked, "...Praise me? For what?"

He was genuinely curious.

Li Xiuli couldn’t help but suppress a smile, knowing what he was thinking.

"Praise you for being articulate."

Lin Lu grinned broadly.

Seeing that it was getting late, he said, "Let’s get some sleep now; we’ve got to go to work soon."

-

After less than an hour of sleep, the Lin Family began to rise one after another.

As Lin Tang stepped out of her room, Niuniu was still sleeping.

Goudan was teaching his two younger brothers to write in the courtyard.

Seeing their little aunt step out of the room, both Goudan and Hutou smiled, showing their white teeth.

"Little Aunt..."

"Little Aunt..."

Three soft, sticky voices rang in her ears, melting Lin Tang’s heart.

She pulled out three sets of colored pencils from behind her.

"So well-behaved, I have gifts to reward you," she said as she handed them the colored pencils with a smile.

Kids always love colorful things, they should like these colored pencils, right?

"Thank you, Little Aunt!" The three little ones took them, their laughter tinkling like bells.

Goudan glanced at them several times, his face brimming with joy, "Little Aunt, are these pens?"

Lin Tang nodded, "Yes, these are colored pencils, you can use them for writing or drawing."

Hutou, excited, raised his hand and came closer, "Little Aunt, are they colored pens?"

Seeing that he had snatched the opportunity to speak, the little guy’s face turned red.
