Chapter 180: I’m tired of using the word ’envy’ (Extra Chapter)
The men and women in the village looked on as the Lin Family’s days got better and better, now almost on par with city folks, and the word ’envious’ couldn’t begin to cover their feelings.
"Tsk! I want to say it again, I’m jealous of Lin Qingshan, the kind that makes your teeth hurt."
"...Who isn’t jealous? Isn’t this what the old saying goes ’When one man attains enlightenment, his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven’? Lin Tang is even better than those top scholars from ancient times!!"
"Providing for that girl to study for so many years, and now she’s just started working, hasn’t supported the family for a few years and probably will get married soon, what’s there to envy..." someone said sourly.
Qi Dafa rolled his eyes at this and harrumphed.
"Why does this sound so sour? Is it so hard to admit that someone is doing well? Just because she gets married, Tangtang won’t be Lin Qingshan’s daughter anymore?"
He thought that Lin Family’s Tangtang was both talented and filial, which was excellent.
Old Guo also spoke a fair word.
"Less of the sour talk, the Lin Family’s girl is also someone we watched grow up, how good of a girl she is, if others don’t know, don’t we?"
After saying this, he shouldered his hoe and went to work.
The person who was retorted turned green in the face and walked away without a word, head bowed.
Damn it!
A bunch of opportunists.
The others, upon seeing this scene, pursed their lips, shook their heads, and went off to the fields.
Every village has these types of people who can’t stand to see others do well, but their village was actually not too bad.
As long as no ill will causes harm, let them be.

Lin Tang was unaware that because she took her family to see the world in the county, she’d earned a round of envy and spite from the villagers.
The medical mogul with memories from a future life thought: This is envy? There will be plenty more opportunities for jealousy later on.
It was just past ten in the morning when Bai Fei arrived as promised.
"The conditions for Comrade Lin have been agreed upon by the factory."
"You want two job opportunities, right? We can give them to you, one at the Chemical Factory and one at the Garment Factory, okay?" Bai Fei looked earnestly at Lin Tang as he spoke.
The Chemical Factory here is a branch factory; its scale isn’t big, so getting even one job opportunity is quite an accomplishment.
The job opportunity at the Garment Factory was something their Factory Director managed to secure through connections.
Lin Tang nodded, responding, "That’s fine."
With that, she handed over the well-written skincare formula.
Bai Fei took it but did not look at it right away, instead, he handed her two introduction letters.
"These are the letters of introduction, you have a look first." His expression was unusually serious.
"Okay," Lin Tang replied, opening the introduction letters to check them.
They had signatures and private seals, all correct.
"No problem. Since you’re a Technician, you should be able to verify the authenticity of the formula. Please, check it too," she said.
Upon hearing this, Bai Fei finally opened the paper with the formula written on it.
For some reason, he felt that this piece of paper might bring huge benefits to the Chemical Factory.
His instincts were rarely wrong.
And right now, Bai Fei’s demeanor was so serious it was almost comical.
Before he unfolded the formula paper, he even unconsciously wiped his hands on his trousers.
Lin Tang found the uncle’s expression quite odd.
As solemn and reverent as someone handling a bomb, full of ceremony.
She glanced at Qin Suqing next to her and noticed that Qingqing was just as baffled.
Under the puzzled gaze of the two young girls, Bai Fei opened the formula.
At first glance, his expression turned solemn.
As he continued to read, realization dawned on him.
With further reading, he was amazed.
In the end, he was filled with joy, feeling even three job opportunities would be a fair trade.
"Comrade Lin must know that this formula is worth more than just two job opportunities, so why... are you still willing to trade it with me?" Bai Fei struggled to say.
He was an old scholar who liked to get to the bottom of things and wouldn’t feel comfortable until he knew the whole story.
Lin Tang, of course, knew that this recipe was worth a lot more.
Her willingness to sell it at a bargain price had two reasons. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Firstly, she had taken a liking to Bai Fei.
Secondly, as of the current situation, selling to Bai Fe was the only choice she had.
That’s what she thought, but Lin Tang couldn’t just say it outright.
So she repackaged her words with a smile, "If I’m not mistaken, you want this formula to produce goods for foreign exchange, right? So why wouldn’t I agree?"
Making money from abroad to strengthen our own country, what’s wrong with that?
And besides, such a basic formula was really nothing to her.
Bai Fei didn’t expect that such a young girl as Lin Tang would have such high awareness, his face showing admiration and respect.
"Comrade Lin’s sense of justice! I thank you on behalf of the factory."
"This is my office number, if you ever need my help, just say the word. If I can help, I definitely will not refuse."
With that, he wrote down a string of numbers for Lin Tang.
As a Technician at a major factory, a promise from him was worth much more than a job opportunity.
Lin Tang didn’t expect this pleasant surprise and smiled as she took the piece of paper with the phone number.
"No need to thank me, contributing to the nation’s development is sweet to me."
Having said that, her tone changed, and she smiled, "I’ll also remember your promise, Comrade Bai. There will surely come a day when I have to trouble you."
When Bai Fei heard this, he actually felt relieved.
After all, he recognized that he had snagged a great deal.
"No problem!"
Once the conversation ended, Bai Fei took his leave.
Seeing Bai Fei depart, Qin Suqing also planned to head home.
"Tangtang, I’m going to visit my grandparents this afternoon, so I’ll head back now. You can keep the bike here. I’ll ride it back after the holiday ends. Feel free to use it, don’t be shy."
Tangtang had just received two job opportunities, surely eager to share the news with her family; there was no reason for Suqing to intrude any longer.
Lin Tang, well aware of Qingqing’s consideration, felt warmth in her heart.
She handed over a tube-shaped object as thick as a finger.
"...This Lip Balm is for you."
Qin Suqing took a closer inspection; it was a particularly delicate item.
The surface was slightly raised, and it seemed to be carved with beautiful patterns.
"...Is this lipstick?" she asked in surprise.
Her mother had one, apparently a gift from a friend abroad.
Lin Tang shook her head with a light laugh.
"It’s not lipstick, it’s Lip Balm.
This Lip Balm isn’t quite the same as ordinary ones.
It gives a bit of color when applied, not much different from your natural lip color, and the tinting effect is quite nice."
The weather was gradually warming up.
Lips are especially prone to dryness.
So she spent some points to exchange for a few lip balms.
Qin Suqing’s eyes brightened with delight, obviously very fond of it.
"Thank you, Tangtang. I really like it."
Lin Tang saw her to the door. "Thank me for what? I can’t just use your family’s bike for nothing. Besides, what’s wrong with giving a small gift to a friend? Not just you, Xiaoyun has one too."
Relationships deepen the more you engage with them.
In her ’next life’ after traveling to the future, she never made friends; now that she was back, she didn’t want to miss out on kinship, friendship, or love.
Qin Suqing had long known that Tangtang was a person with a strong sense of propriety.
Not wanting to spend more words, she smiled and waved at Lin Tang, then left with a spring in her step.
Lin Tang returned inside to clean up the house and put the two introduction letters into her small bag, eagerly awaiting the arrival of her eldest brother and sister-in-law, and her second brother and his wife.
It was past two in the afternoon when the four of them finally arrived.
Hearing the knock at the door, Lin Tang anticipated her brothers and sisters-in-law and hastened to open it.
"Eldest brother, sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, you’re finally here."
Lin Qingshan and the others were relieved to find they hadn’t gone to the wrong place.
"Were you waiting anxiously? Shall we go now?" Lin Qingshan asked.
