Chapter 435 I'll burn you with a fire poker

Gu Jin showered the children with praise, as if it were free, and hugged each of them in turn.

Soon, Gu Yinfeng, Gu Xiaohua, and Wu Guifang all came to the main room, and a group of women surrounded the three children.

You hug her, she hugs you back, and you both cherish each other and won't let go.

The triplets, none of them had ever seen them before.

When it was lunchtime, there were even more people surrounding the three children. Because there were so many people, one child would hold another, and then the youngest, Kang Kang, would start crying.

Meixian immediately took the child from someone else's arms, saying, "Oh dear, I can't let you hold the child anymore, the baby is crying."

"Come home and eat, everyone! Let's eat!"

Zhong Meixian quickly took the child back, leaving Gu Jin to have lunch at home.

While you're at it, check the children to see if anyone holding them is secretly pinching or twisting them.

Fortunately, there wasn't.

Perhaps it's because everyone now relies on their families for a living and knows what's good and bad.

Gu Jin stayed at the Gu family's house for lunch and told Wen Tang and the others about a major event that had happened in the brigade: "That educated youth Luo married Jing Hui?"

"Luo Tian?" Wen Tang asked.

Chi Yue had mentioned to Wen Tang before that Luo Tian seemed to be dating Lin Jinghui, and Wen Tang even said, "Are you crazy?"

Chi Yue shook her head and said, "I don't know!"

When I got back, she came to find me, bringing peach shortbread to apologize, but I ignored her.

Wen Tang said, "Ignoring her is the right thing to do."

"Who knows what she's up to!"

Unexpectedly, Luo Tian actually married Lin Jinghui.

"What's she after?" Wen Tang couldn't help but ask.

Gu Jin also shook her head, "I don't know. I don't know how the two of them fell in love. Jinghui had been making a fuss about separating the family for a while. Just half a month ago, Qiu Yuefang finally agreed to separate the family. That educated youth Luo didn't ask for anything. She just took her own things and went to the Lin family to live with Jinghui."

"She's quite capable. She and Jinghui have only been married for half a month, and I can see that Jinghui has already gained weight."

Wen Tang and the others only heard about this incident briefly, and none of them took Luo Tian's matter seriously.

When Chi Yue and the others got home that evening, everyone's attention was drawn to Lin Jiaojiao's hair.

Gu Jin circled her grandniece several times, "...She's...pretty too."

Lin Jiaojiao asked, "Really?"

Gu Jin nodded.

Lin Jiaojiao started to gloat, "It cost me quite a bit of money!"

Gu Jinfeng, who was standing nearby, said, "Don't spend money next time. Give me the money, and I'll burn you with a fire poker."

Lin Jiaojiao pinched her hair and asked, "Does anyone use a fire poker to burn their hair?"

"Come, come, let me try it on you."

Lin Jiaojiao immediately dodged away.

Gu Jin chatted and laughed with them for a few more minutes before heading back.

After dark, a light drizzle began to fall outside, making the outside feel even more damp and cold.

Wen Tang sat by the brazier, reluctant to leave.

Chi Yue also kept her company by the fire. Chi Yue was more free than her now because Jiajia and Nanxi were both grown up and no longer needed to rely on Chi Yue for eating or sleeping. Chi Yue had plenty of time for herself.

Sitting by the brazier, Wen Tang couldn't help but tell Chi Yue about Luo Tian and Lin Jinghui, "She really did marry Lin Jinghui."

"Moreover, Lin Jinghui even made a scene to force Qiu Yuefang to separate from the family because of her."

Chi Yue flipped her hands above the brazier and said only, "Who cares? Lock it up. As long as it doesn't harm others, that's fine."

Wen Tang also thought so.

But then Wen Tang suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Do you think she wants to come work for us?"

"Ok?"

“Look, it wouldn’t have mattered if she had only married Lin Jinghui. It wouldn’t have mattered if she had only come to apologize to you. But both of these things happened.”

"So, could it be that she only considered marrying Lin Jinghui because she found out that all the women in the brigade could come and work here?"

"But because I'm afraid we'll hold a grudge, I apologize to you first."

"But I haven't forgiven her either!"

Wen Tang waved her hand and said, "In her opinion, whether you forgive her or not is probably not very important; what's important is that she apologized."

"What a wishful thinking!"

"I guess they're just clinging to this job as a lifeline."

Chi Yue asked, "So if we don't want her anymore, will she go crazy again?"

"After all, she has made quite a sacrifice."

Wen Tang shrugged. "I just hope she can think more positively. Anyway, I don't have that much tolerance. I can't control what she thinks."

After chatting for a while, they felt their hands and feet were warm from the heat, so they went back to their room to sleep.

The workshop began tidying up the day after Wen Tang and the others returned, and they went on holiday on the third day.

As in previous years, everyone received some New Year's gifts, and this year there were also quite a few receipts.

Luo Tian saw Wu Guifang carrying things past the Lin family's house.

Luo Tian greeted Wu Guifang, "Auntie, you're on holiday?" She glanced at the things in Wu Guifang's hands.

Wu Guifang wanted to hide the things behind her back, but then felt it was petty, so she simply nodded generously, "Yes, it's a holiday. I can only go back to work after the New Year."

Luo Tian wanted to say something more, but Wu Guifang looked up at the sky and said, "It looks like it's going to rain again, I'm going back now!"

He said this and ran off quickly.

Luo Tian picked up the basin and turned back into the house. Inside, Lin Jinghui was sitting under the stove adding fuel to the fire. Qiu Yuefang had given Wang Xiaohui and Qiuqiu the small house they used to live in.

Since there was already a stove inside, they didn't build another one.

That saved a lot of trouble.

Luo Tian went back into the house and said to Lin Jinghui, "I saw that Aunt Guifang brought a lot of things home, it seems to be from the factory."

"You know what, this job at the Gu family is really good. It pays just as well as it does in the city, and it's very close to home."

Lin Jinghui nodded. "Mm!"

He thought of Wang Xiaohui, who not only supported herself and her child by taking care of the family, but had also moved to the city.

The main problem is that all the families in the brigade are busy with work and taking care of their own families, but his family members are the ones that he doesn't want.

Lin Jinghui felt that his family hadn't done anything wrong, and that the Gu family was being too harsh on them.

If it's because of Wang Xiaohui, then logically speaking, their family is the one that's related to the Gu family, since they're direct relatives of Lin Jingshen's family, within five degrees of kinship. But just because of an outsider, the Gu family is targeting them...

Lin Jinghui was about to say something when Luo Tian spoke up, "I was thinking of going to the Gu family after the New Year to ask around. I'd like to work for them then. What do you think?"

Lin Jinghui's expression immediately changed. It wasn't that he wanted to object to Luo Tian doing the work, but rather that the Gu family and the Lin family had a falling out, and the Gu family probably wouldn't want Luo Tian.

When Luo Tian saw Lin Jinghui's expression change, she assumed that Lin Jinghui had seen through her intentions and knew that she didn't have real feelings for him and that she just wanted to use him to find a legitimate job.

Luo Tian immediately lowered her eyes and explained somewhat guiltily, "I just thought that if we could work for the Gu family, our lives would definitely be better in the future."

She placed her hand on her belly and said, "We're married now, so having a child is only a matter of time. With a proper job, we can afford to raise the child more comfortably."
