?Chapter 24: 24 just wants to stuff her mouth with a pile of cow dung Chapter 24: 24 just wants to stuff her mouth with a pile of cow dung Wang Zhaodi glared at the villagers, her voice filled with fury as she shouted,


    “You’re all in cahoots with the Lin Family, none of you are good people.


    What benefits did the Lin Family give you for you to side with them like this?


    Intimidating people like this, aren’t you afraid that the heavens will strike you down with lightning…”


    After her indiscriminate attack, she continued,


    “My mother wasn’t wrong, the one who first set her eyes on Lin Tang’s father was my mother.


    It was Lin Tang’s mother who stole Uncle Lin from her, if not a fox spirit then what is that?


    Lin Tang’s mother is a big fox spirit, and Lin Tang is a little fox spirit…”


    From a young age her mother had told her, the life of being pampered and adored that Lin Tang had should have been hers.


    It’s all Li Xiuli’s fault that she was born into the bitter life of the Wang family.


    If Lin Tang stole her life, then what was wrong with her trying to beat up Lin Tang?


    Wu Chunhua, standing nearby and listening to Wang Zhaodi’s suicidal remarks, felt as if her breathing was about to stop.


    She just wanted to find a clump of cow dung to plug up her mouth.


    Upon meeting Zhao Shuzhen’s icy gaze again, Wu Chunhua felt the sweat on her face falling like crazy.


    The only thought in her head was the line from the opera: My life is over!!


    Upon hearing his daughter was being bullied again, Lin Lu hurried over.


    When he arrived, he just heard the last part of Wang Zhaodi’s speech, and boy, was he furious.


    His blood pressure soared.


    He immediately defended his honor with a just and stern voice.


    “Wang family girl, everything you said is nonsense, Wu Chunhua, an ugly person plays tricks.


    When I saw her, I wished I could stay ten feet away.


    It was my wife that caught my eye at first sight.


    Xiuli is beautiful and hardworking.


    Marrying such a wonderful wife is my fortune, if I don’t cherish her, then I deserve to go down to the eighteenth level of hell.


    And I am treasuring my fortune!


    So, please, Comrade Wu, don’t spread those misleading rumors anymore. You might have no shame, but I do!”


    Wu Chunhua: “…”


    Bullying her, a lone woman, is this what being human is?


    Also, who is the shameless one here.


    Who still cares about those long-gone minor issues?!


    It’s all Wang Zhaodi’s fault, bringing trouble upon her.


    Are those thoughtless angry words meant to be said out loud?


    She really is a jinx!


    Zhao Shuzhen swept her gaze across the villagers with an expressionless face, her tone frosty.


    “We’re all from the same brigade, so we should all be clear about who is who, I don’t want to hear anyone gossiping about Lin family’s affairs, otherwise…”


    As she spoke, she kicked a rather large stone at her feet fiercely away.


    A blatant threat!!


    The villagers unanimously swallowed hard and nodded repeatedly.


    “Of course not, of course not…”


    “Aunty, rest assured, we are not the kind of people who speak ill of others!”


    …


    Zhao Shuzhen’s expression eased slightly as she looked towards Wu Chunhua.


    “I don’t want to know how you discipline your daughter, I just want to ask, what will you do if Wang Zhaodi troubles my granddaughter again?”


    Wu Chunhua could hardly stand Wang Zhaodi by now, wishing she had never been born, and glared fiercely at Wang Zhaodi before saying,


    “If Wang Zhaodi bullies Lin Tang again, I’ll have her father break her legs so she’ll never be able to leave the house again.”


    She really meant it.


    Wang Zhaodi had caused her to lose face, and she had been slapped several times by that old rival, Li Xiuli.


    Wait until she went back and skinned that wretched girl.


    Zhao Shuzhen was satisfied, and she nodded, “Hmm, I’ll remember what you said. If there’s a next time, I will settle accounts with you.”


    Her voice might have been light, but Wu Chunhua knew she was serious.


    After Zhao Shuzhen gave her warning to Wu Chunhua, she turned her attention to Lin Tang.


    “You have seven brothers, if someone bullies you, just go ahead and fight.”


    “If things go south, the family’s got your back. Don’t act like a sufferer, it breaks my heart to see you like that.”


    If it weren’t for noticing that this granddaughter seemed to have changed a lot, she wouldn’t have bothered to say these things.


    If one can’t stand up for oneself, what’s the use of anyone else’s encouragement?


    Lin Tang’s eyes suddenly brightened.


    She just needed an opportunity to change her personality, and wasn’t this the perfect chance?


    She went over and hugged Zhao Shuzhen’s arm.


    The little girl’s face turned fierce as she clenched her small yet surprisingly powerful fists.


    “I’ll listen to grandma’s words, from now on, anyone who bullies me will get a sound thrashing from me!”


    The little girl had a beauty that could render paintings useless, with brows like artwork.


    Her eyes were clear as stars, her skin fair, and her lips red without the need for lipstick.


    Now, this fierceness didn’t seem threatening at all, but rather adorably insistable.


    The uncles and aunties of Shuangshan Brigade looked at Lin Tang with stars in their eyes.


    If they had a daughter as beautiful as her, they would spoil her silly too. Sёarch* The N?vel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Lin Lu and Li Xiuli really struck lucky.


    They were completely unaware that the adorable little girl they cherished had, before their arrival, kicked Wang Zhaodi into the manure pit.


    Moreover, there would be plenty more opportunities for Lin Tang to dazzle them in the future.


    Zhao Shuzhen turned to look at her granddaughter, who usually dared not get close to her; a faint smile flashed across her eyes that seemed to carry a murderous intent.


    She’s finally making something of herself!


    In this world, not everything can be endured silently.


    After Zhao Shuzhen left with Lin Tang, Deputy Brigade Leader Li Jiancai sternly admonished:


    “Quickly get back to work. Do you want your work points docked?


    All of you, barely able to feed yourselves, and still causing such a ruckus. If you have the time, search for food to fill your stomachs!”


    Upon hearing the deputy brigade leader fly off the handle, the onlookers scattered in a flurry, hurrying back to their work.


    –


    The next day.


    Lin Tang notified her family before taking the reference letter provided by the brigade to the county.


    She attended high school in the county and knew it better than her own village. The Lin Family was not worried that she would get lost.


    But Lin Tang was still a young girl after all, and naturally her family was concerned.


    After repeatedly reminding her to be safe, Li Xiuli took a group of people to the grain-drying field.


    Just yesterday, the brigade’s loudspeaker made an announcement.


    Today, the villagers were going to hold a large meeting at the grain-drying field to discuss an important matter.


    Shuangshan Brigade, located in a remote area, was known within ten miles as a poor place.


    But—


    Backed by two large mountains and a river, no one starved to death even during famines.


    The roads at that time were all dirt roads, full of stones and very difficult to navigate.


    Especially since it was over an hour’s walk, the journey was incredibly harsh on the feet.


    Fortunately, Lin Tang was accustomed to this, and her body had been restored; she walked briskly.


    A trip that normally took at least an hour and a half now only took her forty minutes.


    Feeling the surging power within her body, Lin Tang clenched her fists, filled with a sense of security.


    The county looked dull with its buildings’ walls adorned with slogans like “Unity is strength” and “All counter-revolutionaries are paper tigers,” giving it a true sense of the era.


    The road was relatively smooth, littered with rocks, and the street lacked any eye-catching colors.


    Many people looked pale from hunger, clutching their stomachs as they walked slowly, looking as if they were on the brink of fainting.


    There were children crying impatiently with hunger, their mothers in tears trying to comfort them with dimmed expressions, looking miserably desperate.


    Watching this scene, Lin Tang felt a bit distressed.


    In face of great disasters, the lives of ordinary people were like sand in the wind, inconsequential and negligible.


    But she couldn’t even solve her own food and clothing problems, let alone others’.


    Lin Tang took a cursory glance and headed to the supply and marketing co-op.


    She remembered having a friend who worked at the co-op, and it was a good opportunity to ask about any job openings.
