Chapter 22 Little Peach Blossom Became Famous
What can Lin Guangsheng do?
In that instant, the couple realized the culprit behind the incident. They felt helpless; how could they have forgotten about it during the New Year? It was a bolt from the blue! They had also inadvertently solved a major case involving child trafficking, which they heard had even made the newspapers.
Although the newspaper didn't mention Little Peach Blossom, people in this area have definitely heard of her even if they haven't seen her.
Unable to resist rubbing his temples, Lin Guangsheng looked somewhat troubled.
The villagers were quiet, probably because news of the New Year hadn't reached them yet, and the couple had already gone back to work on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year...
"Guangsheng, I feel there's going to be unsettled at home."
They refuse whatever they can here, but they're not home.
Lin Guangsheng coughed and said, "Don't worry, Mom and Dad and my second brother are at home."
It's not that Lin Guangsheng trusts his parents or his second brother; it's simply because they would want to maximize their own interests if something good happened, provided, of course, they don't offend the eldest brother.
Whose daughter is Xiao Taohua?
The eldest son's family.
Therefore, whichever choice you make, you're a smart person who understands perfectly well.
Sure enough, just as the couple had expected, once the first person came to them, a second, a third, and so on...
The first one was completely unexpected, and the offer was really good, so the couple couldn't find a way to get it. After that, with experience, the couple became quite adept at refusing.
Even though they were rejected, the other party didn't dare to really do anything to the couple. Firstly, they were leaders, after all, and secondly, since they all thought Xiao Taohua was a lucky charm, they certainly couldn't offend the lucky charm's parents.
So the first day of work at the factory was very lively.
They were having a blast gossiping.
Besides the sudden retribution for evil and the punishment of the beggars who brought this upon themselves, another topic that interests everyone is the new factory manager.
"Hey, I heard they're from Kyoto. That's the capital, the heart of our country. They're really impressive."
"Then how did you end up in our area?"
"I don't know, but they have powerful connections, so we small fry can't afford to offend them."
"Those deputy factory directors must be incredibly frustrated. Several of them were vying for the factory director position, and things got really ugly back then. Now that someone's been parachuted in, they're probably kicking themselves for it!"
"I definitely hate him, but I don't dare to offend the new factory director."
"Haha, that's right. I'm quite happy, as long as it's not those deputy factory directors who take the position, I'll be happy."
"That's right. Those deputy factory directors always act like they're the boss of the world. I've had enough of them for a long time."
I think you're just jealous!
"Hmph, you won't even let me be jealous? Aren't you jealous?"
"Haha..." The group exchanged smiles, clearly all jealous.
But they don't have the same abilities or connections as others, so they can only take it one step at a time.
It's good enough if you can keep your job; you've seen people trying to bribe their way in but still not getting in.
These days, being a worker is a secure job!
"I really envy Director Lin's family. They can adopt any daughter they want, and they're all lucky ones."
"That's right, God is protecting us."
"Those flower sellers were really unlucky. Of all people to mess with, they had to mess with the lucky baby protected by God."
"I heard that several families who are planning to get married have gone to this couple, wanting their daughter to be their wedding doll."
"That's right, marriage is all about joy and good fortune."
The factory was bustling with activity, and things weren't peaceful at home either.
Little Peach Blossom has been listless ever since her parents went to work. She doesn't go anywhere and just sits on her little stool at home.
The little rascals didn't go out and cause trouble today either. They all obediently surrounded Little Peach Blossom. Little Peach Blossom was listless, and so were they.
A group of children looked like a moldy mushroom covered in dark clouds, which made Wang Qiu's lips twitch, especially since three of her own children were among them, who were usually so unruly that they wouldn't listen even if she hit them.
She just couldn't understand why everyone looked at Little Peach Blossom like she was their own eyeball, not wanting her to suffer any injustice. As the mother of all three of them, she had never received such meticulous care.
Jealousy was definitely present.
"Boss, come here."
Lin Yuqing glanced at his mother but didn't move.
Wang Qiu: ...
Forget it, I can't bear to look at it anymore, and I don't want to look at it anymore.
With a lot of things to do at home, Wang Qiu couldn't stay idle.
After tidying up the house and fetching several buckets of water from the village center to fill the water tank, Wang Qiu was about to rest for a while when he heard a commotion outside the door.
Are Old Man Lin and Old Lady Lin home?
"Who is it?" Old Mrs. Lin, who was sewing shoe soles inside the house, came out.
Wang Qiu also craned his neck to look outside.
The people who usually come to their house are Lin Guangsheng and Lin Guangyi, so this is a rare occasion for her to hear someone calling for her in-laws.
"What's going on?" Old Man Lin looked up at the noisy group of people.
He recognized the people around him; they were all from the village, though he hadn't seen a few of them before.
"Where's Old Man Lin?" the villagers asked.
"What's up?" Old Man Lin came over from the side carrying a shovel; he had just been shoveling snow behind the yard.
"Well, this is how it is. This group of people were originally looking for Guang Sheng, but they heard that Guang Sheng had started working, so they came looking for you two old folks instead," the person leading the way said to Old Man Lin and Old Woman Lin.
Old Man Lin turned his gaze to several strangers.
Several strangers immediately smiled, and one of them stepped forward enthusiastically: "Hello, hello, Comrade Lin, I am xxx from Xiaozhuang Production Brigade. We have a favor to ask, which is that we would like to ask your granddaughter, Comrade Lin Guangsheng's daughter, to make a wedding doll for my daughter..."
"Yes, Comrade Lin, we are too..."
"We are too..."
Lin family members: ...
The people of Xiaolin Village: ...
No, is that all?
No, what's going on?
Regardless of what happened, Old Man Lin and Old Woman Lin reacted quickly, and said with stern faces, "This will not work. It's cold, and the children are prone to catching a cold if they go out. Besides, the eldest son's family is not at home, so we cannot make the decision. Please go back."
Xiaozhuang Production Team?
They're all far away from Xiaolin Village Production Brigade, and we don't have much contact with them anyway; they're all strangers, so it doesn't matter.
"No, Comrade Lin, we are sincerely begging. We promise you won't skimp on the red envelopes and other gifts."
"Are we the kind of people who lack that little bit of money?"
"No, no, I'm sorry, it's our fault."
"This really won't do. You should all leave." Old Man Lin wouldn't do anything to offend his eldest son, and no matter how much they pleaded with him, he simply wouldn't agree. In the meantime, several more groups of people arrived, with the exact same purpose as the first group, but Old Man Lin rejected them all, not even allowing them to see Little Peach Blossom.
One after another, I spent the whole morning busy with these things.
After finally having lunch and seeing off several groups of the Lin family, things finally quieted down.
As for the rest of the villagers, sorry, once the gates are closed, who cares about them?
The villagers really didn't dare to knock on the door. They were full of doubts. Great, now the village had something to talk about again.
