?Chapter 50: Why is it still related to the police with 50? Chapter 50: Why is it still related to the police with 50? Lin Tang heard the voice and stood still for a moment, then briskly walked back.
On her way back, she didn’t forget to say a word to Li’s mother and her two sisters-in-law.
“Mom, elder sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, someone is looking for me, so I’ll be leaving first,” she said.
With that, she carefully avoided the crops on the ground.
It wasn’t long before she arrived at Lin Lu’s side.
“Tangtang, your Uncle Jiancai said the Textile Factory Director is looking for you. Do you know what it’s about?” Lin Lu asked.
How could his daughter know the Textile Factory Director?
Lin Tang had a slight thought and knew what it was about.
First, she took the wet towel hanging around her neck and wiped her sweat.
Not wanting to worry her father, she explained, “Dad, didn’t I tell you that I went to help a classmate in town?
That classmate’s dad is the Textile Factory Director, and it must be someone from their family coming to thank me.
It’s not something bad, so don’t worry.”
Lin Lu was even more puzzled.
What?! Tangtang saved the Textile Factory Director’s daughter?
When he came to his senses, his heart thumped so hard it nearly leapt out.
That’s the director who manages thousands of people!
Thinking this, Lin Lu couldn’t calm down at all.
“Tangtang, Dad will go with you.”
Li Xiuli, not feeling at ease, also came over.
She arrived just in time to hear the head of the household say ‘let’s go together’.
“Go? Go where?” she asked curiously.
Seeing his wife had come, Lin Lu quickly explained the situation to her.
Li Xiuli’s eyes lit up, and she brushed off the dirt on her body and sorted her disheveled hair.
“Tangtang, Mom will also go with you,” she said.
But having just spoken, she felt somewhat shabby, fearing they might embarrass their daughter, and hesitated, “Or maybe not, your father and I won’t go. You head back yourself and be sure to entertain our guest properly! You know where the brown sugar at home is…”
The thought had been to ask the Factory Director if he could possibly arrange a job for their daughter.
They didn’t intend to take advantage of anyone, just thought of mentioning it. Even borrowing money to get Tangtang a job was fine.
They had scrimped and saved to send their daughter to high school until graduation, and it wasn’t so she could end up like them, toiling in the fields.
With Tangtang being so sensible and sweet, how could they bear to watch her continue working the land?
Wasn’t that like digging at their own hearts?
But seeing their worn-out clothes, the Lin couple retreated from their plan.
A young girl needs to preserve her dignity.
Not wanting their daughter to lose face, they thought… let’s just forget it.
Of course, Lin Tang knew what her mother was thinking. With a tight feeling in her heart, she hugged her arm.
She feigned petulance and said, “I don’t want to go alone; I want both my Dad and Mom to come with me.”
People live their life once; if you shun the very parents who raised you, then how are you different from animals?
In life, filial piety comes first!
Li Xiuli’s heart softened, and with a hint of tears in her eyes, she said, “Alright, then Mom and Dad will go with you.”
If their daughter didn’t mind about them embarrassing her, then they would go and ask.
If it was meant to be, great; if not, so be it!
Li Jiancai watched from the side, feeling moved.
This Tangtang of the Lin Family really deserved their affection.
She was filial and understanding.
Lin Lu, along with his wife and daughter, followed Li Jiancai towards the brigade’s office.
They had only walked a few steps when the brigade members learned that a VIP had come looking for Lin Tang.
“Who do you think this VIP visiting Lin Tang is?
Even the deputy brigade leader came in person to call for her; it must be someone important, right?”
“I don’t know, and I have no clue what it’s about. If I wasn’t so reluctant to lose these work points, I’d really want to follow them and see!”
“Do you guys think it’s a good thing or a bad thing? Looking at Lin Lu and his wife’s faces, you can’t really tell what’s going on…”
“Who knows, I’m not saying anything, but why are you all in such a hurry?
In a little while when the shift ends, we’ll find out then.”
…
The villagers were enthusiastically gossiping as Lin Tang and others arrived at the production team office.
“Tangtang, you’re here!” Qin Suqing said with a delighted face as she saw Lin Tang.
She saw Lin Tang dressed in patched clothes, wearing a straw hat, a towel around his neck, and carrying a water bottle—a true image of the hardworking peasantry.
Qin Suqing blinked her big eyes, full of curiosity.
“Why are you dressed like this? Did you go to the fields? Is it fun in the fields? What did you do there?”
She was born in a big city, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say she was spoiled and pampered, never having worked in the fields before.
Thus, she really had no idea what rural life was like.
Moreover, in her mind, Lin Tang was a scholar, not the type to labor in the fields.
“…Qingqing!” Qin Minsheng frowned slightly and rebuked his daughter with displeasure.
This naive girl!
Though earning a living includes all sorts of jobs, without distinguishing between high and low or rich and poor,
which villager doesn’t envy workers who receive a salary?
By speaking as Qingqing did, treating the reluctant earning of work points as if it were play, wasn’t she pricking people’s hearts?
“I’m sorry! My daughter has been spoiled by our family.
She’s never done farm work and doesn’t know how hard it is to work the fields, making all of you laugh.”
Qin Minsheng was thoroughly polite, his tone apologetic. Sёar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
He was dressed in a nearly new Zhongshan suit and shiny leather shoes.
His hair was combed perfectly, and he wore the glasses of an intellectual.
He looked every bit the high-ranking official, very imposing.
Lin Lu stood extremely straight, his expression serious, betraying none of the nervousness he felt inside.
“No harm done if one doesn’t know, the light work in the fields is simple enough for a young lady to handle, and it can indeed seem like play; what the young lady said wasn’t entirely wrong,” he said.
His words were clearly meant to provide a graceful exit for the Qin father and daughter.
Everyone present knew that even the lighter work in the fields could be taxing.
Qin Suqing also realized she had misspoken and showed a hint of embarrassment on her face.
Looking at Lin Tang, she apologized with a blush, “I’m sorry, Tangtang, I didn’t mean it.”
Then she bowed to Lin Lu and Li Xiuli, her face full of regret.
“My name is Qin Suqing, I’m Tangtang’s classmate, it was wrong of me to speak that way, please uncle and auntie, don’t take offense…”
Her apology was sincere.
Li Xiuli, seeing that the girl was as pretty and about the same age as her Tangtang, bursting with youthful beauty, couldn’t stay mad.
She smiled amiably and said, “Look at you, being all formal—it’s just a saying, no big deal, don’t take it to heart.
It’s quite normal for you to be curious about farm work since you’ve never experienced it.
Don’t take it so seriously with that talk about taking offense!”
This Miss Qin didn’t seem spoiled at all and was quite likable.
The Qin family had an exceptionally good impression of the Lin family.
A genuinely honest and sincere household.
Seeing that the Lin family wasn’t upset, Qin Suqing breathed a sigh of relief.
The smile on her face became even brighter, like a rose blooming under the bright sun, exuding warmth.
“Thank you, uncle and auntie!”
At that moment.
Liu Guoan looked at Lin Tang and said, “Hello, Lin student, you remember me, don’t you?”
He had an undeniable impression of the young lady before him.
Lin Tang nodded, “Of course I remember you, Liu Public Security.”
Liu Guoan smiled and said, “No need to be so formal, you and Qingqing are peers, just call me Uncle Liu.”
Liu Guoan felt Lin Tang was brave and resourceful and had a very good impression of her.
