My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 95: Swing a punch and flatten him with power

Li Xiuli spat.

"Once Niuniu is all grown up, that red hair tie will need to be replaced anyway.

You think old lady doesn’t know you want to wear it yourself? I’m not kidding, with your short hair, can you even wear it?

Average looking, and yet dreaming of beauty.

Also, you should ask Niuniu if she wants you to keep it for her."

Zhou Mei looked confidently at Niuniu.

Her own dear daughter would certainly let her keep it.

Moreover, it’s just a bit of short hair, won’t it grow out in a few months?

It’s not a big deal.

But who would have known—

Niuniu immediately ran towards Li Xiuli without looking back,

showing through her actions that she didn’t agree.

This move slapped Zhou Mei’s face as a mother with a resounding smack.

Li Xiuli snorted coldly, mocking, "Look at you, seeing how Niuniu despises you.

If you did fewer ridiculous things, Niuniu wouldn’t be like this. Reflect on yourself."

This daughter-in-law hadn’t made any huge mistakes.

But sometimes her words and actions just didn’t sit right with others.

Zhou Mei felt wronged.

Whose child’s possessions aren’t managed by their mother? Why is it different with her?

And besides, why should a child use such nice things?

If it were stolen, what then? Even if no one dared to steal it, what if it got damaged?

She’d seen it; that red hair tie didn’t look cheap at all.

It must cost at least several dimes.

Niuniu, seeing that Zhou Mei didn’t fight for her hair accessory, began to cheer up again,

"Granny, Big Aunt, do I look pretty?" the little girl asked, brimming with vanity.

It’s worth mentioning that there were still tears on her chubby cheeks.

Li Xiuli couldn’t help but laugh and cry as she wiped away her granddaughter’s tears.

"Pretty, very pretty, our Niuniu is the prettiest. Quickly wipe your face, or it will start to hurt."

Niuniu immediately beamed.

She then eagerly looked towards Ning Xinrou.

Her little face was full of hope for more compliments.

Ning Xinrou smiled gently, "You look beautiful!"

Little girls, they already know how to be vain.

Niuniu blushed at the sight of Big Aunt’s kind eyes,

twisted her little body around, and went off to show off to her father.

Li Xiuli watched her granddaughter’s retreating figure and laughed heartily.

"Of all the kids in our family, it’s Niuniu who knows how to beautify herself."

Nowadays, people can barely get enough to eat, who cares about their own appearance.

Her granddaughter, so young, is already concerned with beauty.

Zhou Mei glanced at her mother-in-law and muttered cautiously.

"That’s for sure, the little girl is vain. Mother, you should take care of this; you can’t spoil her like this. What if she picks up bad habits?"

She was still worried about her daughter’s hair accessory.

With just a sticking out of her bottom, Li Xiuli knew what kind of nonsense her second daughter-in-law was about to spout.

Li Xiuli rolled her eyes, "Niuniu is being good, just take care of yourself."

Having said that, she ignored her further.

She then said to Ning Xinrou, "Eldest daughter-in-law, get ready. I’ll go see how your father is doing."

When they arrived home, Li Xiuli, not feeling assured, insisted that Lin Lu rest in his room.

Ning Xinrou replied, "Okay."

Lin Lu changed his clothes and was now taking a short nap on the bed.

Li Xiuli had just stepped into the room when she said, "It’s time to eat, how are you feeling? Do you need me to bring in your meal?"

Lin Lu sat up and said, "No need, I really am fine. I could even go to the fields now..."

"Don’t even think about it. Rest well today, talk about any ideas you have tomorrow. We’re not short of those few work points," Li Xiuli nagged.

Lin Lu: How can we not be short? Don’t you always say that every little bit counts? Has that changed now?

However,

seeing the worry etched into his wife’s forehead with blue veins standing out, Lin Lu compromised,

"Alright, I’ll listen to you."

Li Xiuli’s taut nerves slightly relaxed.

She noticed a small box on the countertop.

She hadn’t seen this box before.

Upon opening it, she found it was more than half full of honey.

"Is this why you were rammed by a wild boar today?"

Lin Lu gave a simple smile, his weathered eyes full of tenderness.

"Doesn’t Tangtang like that lemon water? Didn’t she say it would taste even better with some honey? I thought since our girl has a rare liking for something sweet, I’d get some for her to take to the county. She can make it when she has nothing else to do..."

He made no mention of Qi Dafa, who had offered to collect the honey.

It was a well-intentioned offer, and he wasn’t about to share it with anyone else.

If Xiuli blamed Dafa, it wouldn’t be good.

Li Xiuli glared at him, her voice rising slightly.

"You almost lost your life over this bit of honey, how can Tangtang drink it now?"

If the girl knew this honey was the cause of her dad being rammed by a wild boar, she might never want to eat honey again for the rest of her life.

This silly old man~

Lin Lu hurriedly got off the kang and covered Li Xiuli’s mouth.

He glanced nervously outside and said in a low voice, "Keep your voice down, don’t let Tangtang hear."

"If you don’t say anything, it’ll be fine..."

Li Xiuli snorted, "Even if I don’t say anything, what about other people?"

Naïve!

Could anything in the village really be kept secret?

Lin Lu waved his hand.

"If you don’t say anything, then nobody will know. Nobody knows about me getting the honey. It was after work hours, and there were hardly any people at the foot of the mountain.

Even if people in the brigade heard that I was rammed by a pig, at most they’ll think I’m just unlucky; they won’t know about the honey incident."

Even if they guessed that they found something good, the villagers wouldn’t really do anything about it; they’d just be relieved they hadn’t gone.

"Look at you, being clever," Li Xiuli said, then her tone shifted, "Do you think Tangtang wouldn’t know just because you don’t tell her?"

Her tone clearly carried a hint of amusement.

The girl was not as easy to fool as the boys.

Lin Lu paused, then said, "Just put the honey aside for now.

Let Tangtang go to the county first, and another day I’ll have someone send it there.

Spacing it out will work, right?"

Li Xiuli fell silent.

"...As long as you know what you’re doing, let’s go out to eat."

The family finished dinner.

After resting for over half an hour, the whistle for work blew.

Lin Lu, ordered to rest at home, considered that Lin Tang was moving to the county tomorrow, so Li Xiuli asked her to stay home and pack her things.

In fact, there wasn’t much to pack—just bedding, clothing, and food.

Lin Tang had planned to earn work points in the fields herself while her mother packed for her, but Li Xiuli absolutely refused.

In her eyes, her daughter was about to become an official at the factory. How could she do field work on the last day?

No, absolutely not.

With no choice, Lin Tang could only watch her family and the rest of the brigade leave for work.

Back at home,

Lin Lu was busy packing things up.

"Tangtang, your mom already aired out your bedding days ago and even prepared new sauces for you...

You don’t know how to cook, so just eat at the factory. Don’t think about saving money; taking good care of yourself is the most important.

And don’t worry about home; we have so many people here, nothing will go wrong.

As for you living alone in the county, if anything happens, go to your auntie. And don’t forget to have someone let us know.

Even though your dad doesn’t have many skills, I can still work hard and pull some strings if needed..."
