Chapter 191 - Buying Grains
Name：Shrewd wife of Lin brothers Author：fairytail72
Seeing that Lin Yunxi had run away , the crowd of onlookers also left , now that the girl was gone they knew that their was no more drama to watch . Lin Jing and Lin Rui who had seen Su Wan 's incredible performance blinked their eyes but didn't say anything , though Su Wan acted a little shamelessly , the two still found her really cute !
" Wan Wan , don't we need to buy something too ?" Asked Lin Rui ,tugging on Su Wan 's sleeves as the other was still busy staring at Lin Yunxi 's vanishing back .
Su Wan nodded as she looked away from Lin Yunxi who was leaving the town " of course we need to buy a lot of things . I think we should focus on buying some bricks and wood , if the southern village is suffering from flood , I am sure -our village we receive its first snow very soon . We need to build some Kangs and fix the roof of our house wherever its broken as for food grains , though the price of grains are increased , I think Yan and Yu will buy some for our family . So let's leave them in charge of buying the grains while we buy other things that's necessary . "
Lin Rui agreed with Su Wan after all his second brother and fifth brother arrived in the town before them , so it was only natural for the two of them to rush ahead and buy food grains for their family . Since , the two were busy with buying grains , they should buy something else since it was highly likely that the price of these things will increase again by tomorrow .
" Let's go " said Lin Jing who had already finished packing up " if we delay , the price will increase again "
It was already winter , their family actually had the idea of buying bricks for Kang after Lin Yu opened his shop and Su Wan 's soap and cream perfume were ready to be sold but this sudden turn of events made them commence their plans earlier than they intended to .
-
There were long queues in the grain and oil shops . Generally , people could buy at least eight to ten meters of rice in one tael but now they could only buy four meters of rice for one tael and that too when they haggled from morning till noon.
The rice seller shopkeeper turned impatient at their haggling and shouted impatiently " If you don't want to buy then no one's bothering you to buy ! If you still want to complain then keep complaining , let's see if you can buy four meters of rice for one tael tomorrow ! If you can then I will write my name backwards "
The crowd complained but they also knew that their was nothing they could do , it was alright for the rich master and misses since they could buy the rice at any time . But they were different , the had limited savings and couldn't wait till tomorrow - so even if they felt unjust and unhappy they still purchased the rice grains . After all , a lot of refugees have already arrived in their town , if they keep on waiting then the prices of these grains will multiply so much that their entire savings would end up depleting . Since , all of them already knew what was going to happen , They didn't bother with complaining anymore .
With a clear picture in their minds , the people wanted to save grains in their house . Thus , they all were rushing to buy grains whilst praying that the flood will end early this year because they didn't have much money this year . If the flood keep on continuing , then - they would definitely starve to death in this winter !
This queue was the one in which Lin Yu and Lin Yan were queuing up , the two of them had already purchased enough coarse grains for their house and restaurant before sending all the grains to the restaurant with Little Cao , and now they were queuing up for the polished grains as their mother and Su Wan liked to eat these polished rice and white flour more than sweet potato floor and coarse rice .
Thus , when it was their turn - the rice seller asked " how much ?" But he already weighed a total of two metres of rice because he could see that though Lin Yan 's and Lin Yu 's clothes were clean and new , they were still cheap quality clothes . Thus , he thought they wouldn't buy more than two meters of rice .
Lin Yu who saw the contempt in the rice seller's eyes stiffened , he wanted to say something but he was pulled back by his second brother who shook his head . Seeing that his elder brother was stopping him Lin Yu snorted unhappily but did what his second brother asked him to do .
Lin Yan could see the contemptuous glimmer in the shopkeeper 's eyes but didn't say anything at this moment they were the rags while The grain sellers were the riches , they couldn't afford the seller - so it was better to keep a low profile . Thus , he ignored the contemptuous glance of the shopkeeper and smiled " boss , I would like to buy twelve meters of rice , if possible please give me a discount too "
The rice seller who was measuring the rice was so stunned that he looked up at Lin Yan and Lin Yu . Though the two of them looked good with their cold expressions and distinct aura , The older one looked cold and hard to approach while the younger one looked like he had was a bad tempered young brat but they still looked like they belonged to a typical farmer's family . Their clothes were new and clean but they didn't look like they belonged to a rich family .
" do you have any idea how much twelve metres of rice will cost you ?" The rice seller couldn't help but ask .
Lin Yan nodded and said " Yes , you are selling four meters of rice for one tael right ? Then I will pay you three taels for twelve .However , I'm buying a lot from you sir , you should give me some extra meters "

The rice seller was shocked , though he has been selling rice for a two days now most of the people only brought coarse rice from him which wasn't much as for polished rice , he was only able to sell ten meters of rice and that too after many different customers brought it from him . Now this guy was asking for twelve meters of rice from him , this was simply amazing !
Because of the flood , The rice seller wanted to empty his warehouse because in such situations there was always a chance for the refugees to rebel and loot from their warehouse , at that time they wouldn't be able to make any profit . Thus, the rice seller was in such a hurry to sell his rice at the same time making a big profit out of it .
As for an extra meter , with twelve taels in hand he didn't mind giving a meter extra " sure , sure. If you buy twelve meters of rice , I will give you one meter extra , will that do ?"
Lin Yan nodded then pulled out the money from his pocket " here boss , these three taels are for rice as for the other two taels please give me some white flour and noddles . Please pack everything up for me" then he placed the two long buckets that he and Lin Yu were carrying and let the rice seller fill them up .
The rice seller was really happy , he immediately asked his workers to fill up their baskets snd happily sent them away .
Once they were out of the queue , Lin Yu couldn't help but frown . His brows almost squeezing together so tightly that he could've killed a fly to death by his brows " Do we rea....really need to buy this much ? Do..Don't we al...already have the c....coarse g..grains ?"
Since , his second brother already knew about his personality , Lin Yu didn't bother about hiding it . Lin Yan heard his brother's unhappy voice and his lips twitched , this brat was sure acting unrestrained with him now that he knew about his true personality .
" its not that I want to buy this much altogether but the weather is getting colder day by day , with this flood I'm sure the first snow will be hitting our village in a few days . When that happens , I want our family to be well prepared . I think with this flood won't be ending anytime soon with the amount of refugees that rushed in the town "
Lin Yu understood what his second brother was saying but when he turned around and saw that ear splitting grin of the grain and oil shopkeeper , he was dissatisfied" that shopkeeper made a huge profit from us but what about us ? We are still selling the dishes at the same price that we were selling isn't it disadvantageous for us ?"
Lin Yan also turned back and saw the smile of the rice seller , however he wasn't as upset as Lin Yu . So he spoke calmly " no , we are not in a disadvantage here. Believe it or not , sooner or later this unscrupulous businessman would learn a good lesson in the future "
His fifth brother looked at him like he couldn't understand what he was saying , so Lin Yan smiled a little more widely and explained patiently " tell me this Yu , will you ever buy rice grains from this shopkeeper in the future ?"
Lin Yu was stunned at his brother's question and immediately responded " of course not ! This kind of pe...person who makes a fortune out of so..some..someone else crisis , de ...deserves to be beaten to death ! The on..only way I'm bu..buying grains from him wi..will be whe..when I have gone ma..mad and blind !"
" You stupid boy , what are you saying ?" hearing Lin Yu say such words , Lin Yan immediately knocked on his forehead crooking his finger " but anyway like you said , you will never buy rice anymore from this shopkeeper again . Do you think , you are the only person who is thinking like this ? I can assure you that every single person who brought the rice from this shopkeeper must be thinking along the same line . They only brought rice from him because they had no other choice , the grains in other shops have already finished and he is the only one who had white flour and polished rice , thus people had no choice but to buy from him . But that's only because the situation is a bit perilous , do you think this shopkeeper will be able to sell this much rice once the situation turns better ?"
" No " answered Lin Yu truthfully , the fact that they had to pay four taels for just twelve meters of rice has been locked in his heart . Even if there came another flood , he would rather go to the capital and buy rice then buy twelve meters for four taels ! With four taels they could buy thirty to forty meters of rice but instead they only got twelve !
" See , it might be bringing instant profit for him right now but in the future his greed will drag him down " said Lin Yan as he walked out of the grain market " even if we might be at a little disadvantage now , I'm sure it will change in a while . By keeping the same price at our restaurant , I'm reeling in the customers for long time profit. As for others who raised their prices , do you think the dock workers who ate and drank their feel religiously at their restaurant would go back again ? They definitely won't , the workers who earn by daily wages will suffer the most in these situations and I can assure you that the more they suffer the more they will hate the unscrupulous people who tried to take advantage of them . Only today I got more than half the dock workers in our restaurant just wait , later on every single one of them will start coming to our restaurant and this chain won't break ever because " turning to look at Lin Yu with a shrewd smile , Lin Yan added " because I didn't take advantage of them while everyone else was "
Lin Yu who saw his brother 's smile shivered , he shouldn't have worried about this brother of his . He was such a black bellied businessman , there was no way he was going to lose money because of his ' goodness ' of his heart . He quickly lit a candle for all those dock workers who were being fooled by his second brother in his heart and prayed for their soul - from now on , those workers will be his second brother's cash cows and the most frustrating yet funny thing was that those dock workers didn't even know that they were being taken advantage of !
How cunning!
When the two brothers turned around a corner to reach the town gates , they realised that the number of refugees have increased again . Now the streets were packed with their population , and it was certain that their town will suffer from food shortage soon enough . Either the rich will buy everything and store the grains or the refugees will rebel and steal everything .
Lin Yan was in good mood , he was relaxed knowing that his family won't be starved to death but then , his gaze was caught by an emaciated figure and he stopped . His heart beating wildly , he stared at the figure fixedly at the back of the figure . There was no way , this was possible but the more Lin Yan looked at the figure , the more his memories of childhood flashed in mind and the figure of the person coincided with the figure in his memories .
Lin Yu who was walking behind Lin Yan didn't get any warning as his second brother stopped , thus he ran headlong in his second brother's back .. Infuriated , Lin Yu looked up but when he caught sight of his brother's pale complexion and shocked expression , he immediately realised something was wrong and followed his brother's line of sight . The emaciated back and familiar yet haggard face of the person met his eyes , leaving him just as shocked and stunned as his brother as only one word left his mouth " Father ...?"

Chapter 193 - Hopping Around The Street
Name：Shrewd wife of Lin brothers Author：fairytail72
Perhaps Lin Yan was too far away but the person didn't hear him , neither did he show any signs of recognising him . Instead he kept moving forward , balancing the bowl of porridge in his hands as he was jostled around by the people surrounding him . The person kept on walking until he reached a small shed which was nothing but a small canopy made out of branches and old tattered cloth .
In fact even if the person met with Lin Yan and Lin Yu face to face , he wouldn't have recognised them . When father Lin drowned in the river , Lin Yan was just fourteen years old and Lin Yu was only eight years old . Apart from that there family was strongly suppressed by Grandma Lin thus in Father Lin 's memory Lin Yan and Lin Yu were skinny and weak like baby monkeys . However , the Lin Yan and Lin Yu of present were eating and sleeping well without any worries , thus the two of them have become strong and healthier than before .
Not to mention today the two of them were dressed cleanly, and carrying loads of white rice , white flour and noodles - something that only the rich stewards were seen carrying . So , even though Father Lin thought that their face looked a little familiar he didn't dare to acknowledge them ! What if he accidentally offended some stewards from rich families because of his poor mistake ?
" Yu , catch up ! Don't dare to lag behind !" Then without waiting for Lin Yu to say anything , Lin Yan rushed forward while leaving a stunned little fifty brother behind who turned several shades of green before he started limping as fast as he could . As Lin Yu ran behind his second brother he cursed him for being so heartless as to leave him behind ! Did he not know that he was feigning his stutter but his limp was hundred percent real ! Like that of gold ! In the end when Lin Yu saw that he couldn't catch up with his brother of he kept limping , he started hopping on one leg - whatever , he would throw this old face away and catch his second brother . In case they separated forget about missing to get a hold of their father , they will robbed of grains !
Thus a peculiar sight happened on the street of the Dong Tong town , a cold beauty was seen running seemingly trying to catch up with someone while behind him was a hopping devil - whose face was so black that ink was dripping down his face .
Some people found it amusing , while some were genuinely worried about the little boy who was hopping on one foot like a rabbit . But once they caught a glimpse of how ugly that little master's face looked they hurriedly coughed and looked away . Okay , they didn't see anything !
Didn't see anything your mother ! Lin Yu who could feel the peculiar gazes of people pointed at him and nearly cursed out loud . However , his rationality held him down - it was alright , he was doing it for his father ! Not for anyone else but his father !
" Second brother ! At least give me a chanc..chance to catch up !" shouted Lin Yu as he clutched on his heavy basket with his hands while he hopped on his good leg , was he seriously taking him like some sort of black bellied demon ? That he would be able to miraculously treat his years old injury just like that ? Don't lag behind ? DON't LAG BEHIND ? This hustle of his better be fruitful or else he would definitely drug his brother on the night when he shares the room with Wan Wan ! Dammit ! His calf was hurting ! Good thing he had a lot of practise or else he would have been left behind ! Gah ! Just wait he would definitely avenge himself ! Making him run like this.
The refugees in the ' refugee camp ' saw a handsome looking man stride inside their camp with an agitated expression while a pretty boy chased after him . The refugees eyes were locked on their baskets that were full of rice grains , oil and many more things and they subconsciously licked their lips , however just as they were thinking how to take them on .
The cold beauty who was striding over towards their direction , took out a butcher knife . Those elegant yet exquisite fingers looked like they were made to hold something more beautiful and classy than a butcher knife but one look at that cold , bone chilling expression on the beautiful man's face as he snapped " Back off !" Like some asura raised from the pits of hell - all the refugees all of sudden had a feeling that the butcher knife somehow added to the aesthetic of this devil like beauty .
So , they parted letting Lin Yan walk past them focusing on Lin Yu but before they could even take a look at the latter , a few flying needles flew past them . Embedding their tip in the ground next to them as they quivered ominously .
Startled they looked up , seeing a grinning vampire like handsome man " you better not mess with me , or e..else I might wrench your eyeba..balls out and play with them "
This time the crowd parted even more faster not even caring upon whom they were pressing on as they retreated . No one blamed them after all the young man despite his cute and feminine face , looked like a little demon .
Lin Yan harrumphed and then hopped after Lin Yan leaving a crowd of confused and stunned refugees , they really got scared of this hopping rabbit ?
" Second brother wait for me !" Lin Yan called again once they reached a little quieter junction .
Lin Yu who heard his youngest brother's voice halted in his steps with difficulty , even though he wanted to rush up that place where his father was supposedly crouching . He still waited for Lin Yu to catch up and grasped his little brother's wrist as he slowed down in his pace . Right now he was too agitated and completely threw the matter of Lin Yu 's limp leg .
Lin Yu felt a strong hand clasp his wrist and his anger immediately simmered down . Humph , fine he won't drug this stupid brother anymore - since he clearly still cared about him .
" Second brother , did you really see father ? Maybe its just a man who resembles father 's figure a little . I mean if he was alive , he would definitely return back right ?" Lin Yu had really admired his father ever since he was a kid , he honestly loved his father and was the most doted son of his beloved father .. Thus , on one hand Lin Yu wished that the person really turns out to be their father but on the other hand , his excitement faltered a little when he thought of his father's absence for so long .
***********************
Chapter 194 - Cheated ?

Lin Yan tightly clasped his brother's hand , he too was anxious and angry . He felt that kt was too good to be true , of course if the person turned out to be their father - Lin Yan of course would be really happy but what scared him was how and what conditions will he find his father in , has his father moved on and had his own family ? Did his father forgot about him and his other sons ? Let go of the love he had for their mother ?
As they got closer to the shed , Lin Yan 's hands started to tremble and even Lin Yu was startled .
" Here , Xiao Shuyan drink some porridge . The porridge here in Dong Tong town is really tasty and thick ! Its not watery at all , there is also a lot of rice and I even fought for a piece of tofu for you , come on eat it " Father Lin raised the small boy who was lying inside the shed on a straw mattress with a gentle smile , as he blew on the porridge and brought the spoon to the boy's mouth .
The boy coughed violently as he was moved , his little body was so thin that he hardly resembled a human anymore. His face was completely shrivelled up like a mummy and his ribs were poking out of the torn shirts , he barely had any fat and looked really haggard . His breathing was laboured and it was clear that he was having a hard time . The refugees were all afraid that the child was affected by something unmentionable seeing his scary appearance and didn't dare to come any closer.
Even though they were salivating over the piece of tofu it was better not to risk it .
After coughing for a while , the boy shook his head and then in a low and hoarse manner he pushed away the spoon " leave it for my siblings and you should eat too , you have been worrying about us siblings and hardly ate anything "
Father Lin 's heart ache as he saw Xiao Shuyan acting like a little adult and softly coaxed the child " Father doesn't need to eat , father is a grown up man . I can go on without eating for days but Shuyan you are a kid , you need to eat your fill ,only after eating this porridge will you have enough energy to go on with this journey . We are almost there , an hour of another walking trip and we will reach Dong Tong village "
The boy licked his lips that were cracked so badly that they were bleeding . He too wanted to eat the porridge but he felt his body weaken with each passing minute , if he ate this porridge and tofu it would just be a waste " father , you don't need to trouble with me anymore. I - I can feel that I can no longer on , just leave me here and bring my siblings to the village , I - as the eldest son its my responsibility to take care of my siblings instead of being a burden to them -"
" what nonsense ! You are just a child who caught a cold , why do you have to overthink it like that ? Its so severe because you couldn't recover because of the road conditions . As long as we return to the Dong Tong village , I will borrow some money from my fellow villagers and will bring you to the medicine hall of the town - I'm sure the doctors here will be able to treat you "though tears were brimming in his eyes father Lin fiercely scolded Xiao Shuyan. " even if you don't want to think about yourself think about your siblings , haven't they already lost the people closest to them ? If the lose you to what will happen to the two of them ? Won't the be broken-hearted if they lose their big brother Shuyan ?"
When father Lin mentioned his little siblings , Xiao Shuyan felt as if his heart was being pierced. Immediately , the images of his cute siblings and their smiles flashed in front of his eyes . Father was right , his siblings have already lost the people they were close to because of this disaster if he went on as well - Xiao Shuyan didn't dare to think anymore and decisively said " alright I will eat , I have already preserved this long . I'm sure I can preserve a little more *cough * "
" Don't talk anymore and eat " said Father Lin as he wiped the yellow cough that was trickling down the child's mouth and fed him another spoon of rice .
Lin Yan and Lin Yu who were watching the scene had a really difficult mood . Though they sympathised with the child , but when they heard the child call their father , his father - their eyes flashed with scorn and their faces turned dark . What was this ? You were alive but instead of coming back home you went frolicking with your new lover , had kids and now that you are faced with adversities you bring your kids back to your first wife? Was their father out of his mind ? You cheated on your wife and kids ? Now you bring your kids from other woman in front of your wife ? Are you okay in the head ?
Just as Lin Yan and Lin Yu were contemplating over this , two kids came running . Just like father Lin they were also holding a bowl of porridge each . When the girl who was around eight saw that her brother was eating his porridge , she smiled " brother , the people here are nice though the porridge is not as thick as we used to eat , its not watery, with no rice ! They are even giving a single tofu piece to each person! "
" Yeah , yeah ! " chimed the youngest boy " even though we are kids they filled my bowl to brim , elder brother lets share !"
Xiao Shuyan looked at his little siblings who were not even ten yet and felt his heart shudder with pain . He really wanted to talk to them and say that it was fine but then his throat suddenly clogged and he started choking on the food - he gagged and vomited everything that he ate before his complexion worsened and he fainted .
" Xiao Shuyan !" Hollered Father Lin and the two little children but before they could think of what to do , a tall figure rushed in and carried Xiao Shuyan away .
Father Lin was stunned but when he looked up , his eyes fell on a chilly face that resembled his wife so much " Y..Yu ?"
Lin Yu scoffed , he wanted to say something like ' you still remembered me ? I thought you completely forgot about your previous family' but seeing the scared and stiff expressions of the children next to his father . He controlled his temper , whatever - this was his father's fault not these children there was no need for him to act fiercely in front of these kids " second brother brought the boy to the Tongshen medicine hall . You can come with me if you want "
After that Lin Yu turned around and limped after his second brother who ran away with the sick boy . In reality they didn't want to help but they couldn't sit back and see a child dying in front of them , so even if he was born after their father cheated on their mother . Lin Yan and Lin Yu still decided to save the boy .
The refugees saw the family of four being taken away by the rich looking stewards and enviously gritted their teeth . How they wished that someone from their family brought them away too !
Lin Yan brought the child to the Tongshen medicine hall and let doctor Gu , take his pulse . Doctor Gu pondered for a moment after taking the pulse then said " the child developed a lung infection and the mucus have thickened , its normal after not getting a proper treatment much similar to your mother's case but his symptoms are not so severe as long as he eats well and rests , he will be fine . Of course his medicine-"
" I'm willing to pay the money " said Lin Yan though he didn't want to jump to conclusions in his heart he have already considered this brat as his brother , half brother or not . Thus, he couldn't let him die , so he took out five taels and let Doctor Gu send a nurse to brew medicine for the child .
Doctor Gu originally wanted to say there was no need as they all were from one village but before he could , a man with dirty face and matted hair rushed inside . At first he was surprised and frowned but when he took a closer look , Doctor Gu was stunned and when he saw Father Lin rushing in and checking the frail boy lying on the bed , he was even more shocked .
Naturally , he caught Lin Yan 's and Lin Yu 's ugly expressions before coughing and leaving the room with an excuse .
This case he better not get involved ah !
***********************
Chapter 195 - Why Now ?
Name：Shrewd wife of Lin brothers Author：fairytail72
Father Lin first checked Xiao Shuyan , once Doctor Gu confirmed that Xiao Shuyan was really alright , only then Father Lin heaved a sigh of relief . After confirming Xiao Shuyan 's condition , he turned to look at his two son who were staring at him with vigilance and resentment . Though there was some relief and comfort flickering in their eyes , but the majority of their emotions were negative .
Father Lin stiffened and then he turned around to look at Xiao Shuyan , seeing that the boy was still asleep , father Lin asked a nurse to take care of the kids before he brought his sons outside the medicine hall .
Lin Yan and Lin Yu wanted to listen what their father had to say for himself so they quietly followed him outside , though their faces were still taut with anger and resentment . Lin Yan still gave the nurse who was taking care of Xiao Shuyan a hundred copper coins to brew medicine for the child .
Their anger was a different matter and taking care of this sick child was different .
" they are not mine " said Father Lin at once , after the three of them came out of the medicine hall " those kids are the kids of my benefactor , the one who saved me after I drowned in the river because of the flood -my good brother and his wife .." father Lin broke away but there was no need for him to continue on with his sentence , because even without him completing the sentence , Lin Yan and Lin Yu understood that most likely the couple lost their lives because of the flood.
" they left their kids under my care . I'm those kids Godfather you see " continued Father Lin blocking away his tears " that's why those kids call me father originally they called me Godfather but later on it became a painful reminder for those kids , every time they called me godfather , they would remember that they no longer have anyone in the world . So , I asked them to call me father .. their parents were really good to me . Its only natural that I am good towards their kids , after all I don't want these kids to think that they are orphans with me here "
Lin Yan cold face warmed up slightly on the other hand Lin Yu 's face that was stiff and stoic also lost some of its anger . However , the two of them still had many questions to ask therefore Lin Yan only muttered an ' En ' while Lin Yu simply stared at his father coldly though the fists that were clenched on his sides told how agitated and nervous he was!
" If you were al...alright why didn't you return ?" asked Lin Yu tilting his head slightly as he looked at his father in front of him " It has been more than ten years since you were gone , d...do you have any id...idea how much mo...mother suffered because you were gone !"
For the first time Lin Yu hated his stuttering more than anything in the world . He was clearly angry and enraged but because of his stutter he couldn't really let go of his anger completely . He didn't hate his father for leaving them for ten years but the reason he couldn't forgive his father 's absence was because of his mother's sufferings ! If his father returned would his mother's health deteriorate so much ? Would his mother go around asking for work at the embroidery shop , so that she could earn a little money for her sons ? Would the old Yu family suppress and trodden on his mother until his mother's illness flared so badly that she started to fall sick every now and then ? And even if ignored his mother's suffering could he ignore his brother's sufferings ? Can he forget how his elder brother almost lost his life ? Can he forget how his second brother was almost r*ped by that old mistress ?Will he ever forget how his third brother was beaten until he almost died ? Or will he ever be able to forgive the helpless expression of his fourth brother when Grandma Lin told him that he could no longer study ? Even now fourth brother's tears were still fresh in his mind , even though it has been years - his fourth brother who always smiled like the gentle wind of spring cried for the first time that day ! Even if he forgot his pain and sufferings when he was thrown off the cliff - he will never forget his family's sufferings !
" Why co..come now ! Why are y..you only here now ! Why didn't you return b..before - if you di..did , if you di..did " Lin Yu broke away , his eyes turned red as all the resentment that he had buried in his heart broke free . Though the brothers acted like they all were fine after they lost their father but in fact , their father was the pillar of their family . Once he was gone , Lin Yu and his brothers felt as if they were being squashed by the sky itself!
They have seen their mother fretting over the smallest expense - had seen her work till four in the morning before going out on the fields and plowing the land without any rest . If they didn't see their mother suffering so much , then their eldest brother wouldn't have ever went to hunt at such a tender age of sixteen .
They have slept on hungry stomach , they have suffered through ailments and illness without medicine . They had gone past storms and now when everything was alright their father returned , now that they no longer needed their he came back - why did he have to return now ? Why not earlier when they all wanted him ?When they needed him ?
However , no matter how much Lin Yu resented his father for his absence ,he was still really glad to see his father alive and well .
Lin Yan saw his little brother crying and immediately embraced Lin Yu .. He knew that no matter how much this brat liked to act as a big boss , his heart was soft and warm - Lin Yu could pull small tricks but he was still a sixteen year old boy - still a child who haven't seen the world .

Chapter 196 - Don't Cry
Name：Shrewd wife of Lin brothers Author：fairytail72
Father Lin saw his beloved little son crying , and immediately felt his heart hurt . His eyes reddened , he wished to hug his son and tell him how sorry he was but then he looked down at his rags and his son's clean clothes , he was immediately embarrassed . His clothes were so dirty and smelly , if he really hugged his two sons then their clean and new clothes will definitely get dirty ! Though Father Lin was really surprised that the stingy madam Zhou was willing to let his sons wear such good clothing , but he didn't inquire about it .
Father Lin raised his hands awkwardly then brought them back to his sides" Don't , Yuyu , Don't cry - father is sorry , Father wanted to come back before but .. aye " Father Lin sighed heavily as he rubbed his face , he wasn't lying - he really wanted to return as soon as he woke up but those people schemed against him so badly that he couldn't return even when he wanted to !
Lin Yan however carefully examined his father . His father and those kids were wearing rags that were barely covering their bodies . Therefore , he more or less understood that wherever his father was his life wasn't good either . Lin Yan frowned and asked " Father , its almost winter , why are you and the kids wearing such clothing aren't you afraid to catch a cold , how come neither you and your benefactor could afford padded jackets ? And why couldn't you return home when you wanted to ? What exactly happened ?"
Father Lin heard his second son 's words and his face stiffened immediately as anger flashed on his face before he sighed " Ay , its a long story "
From Father Lin 's words , Lin Yan and Lin Yu learned that their father turned out a little lucky when he was a swallowed by the sea . Even though the sea was turbulent when their father fell in it , the storm soon passed and the sea turned calm after a few hours - and because their father was an excellent fisherman , he was able to keep his head over the water until the storm passed and was able to get away with his life . But the struggle to keep his head over the water had drained all his energy therefore after swimming for a while , Father Lin let go of his struggles and became unconscious.
But because of some crazy luck , Father Lin was able to get away with his life as another fisherman caught him in his fish net and brought him to his boat . That fisherman was Father Lin 's benefactor named Qi Bai , At first when Qi Bai saw Father Lin in his fishing net he was really scared but when he used his finger to test whether father Lin was alive or not , he was able to detect Father Lin 's faint breath and brought him back .
Qi Bai who saved Father Lin 's life was a good man , he would never take advantage of someone's else perilous situation . Thus , once Qi Bai brought Father Lin back , he brought a doctor to treat Father Lin , who at that time developed a high fever because of all the time he spent in the sea .
But every family had its own drama , just because Qi Bai and his wife were honest people . It doesn't necessarily means that everyone in their family were nice and honest , Qi Bai had a big brother , Qi Zhen who was lazy , unscrupulous and greedy - he didn't work but still thought that whatever Qi Bai earned belonged to him .
He had long taken Qi Bai 's salary , farm fields as his own . Thus , when Qi Zhen saw that Qi Bai was actually wasting ' his ' money on an unknown stranger , Qi Zhen was infuriated , he immediately brought his parents who were baised towards him and fought with Qi Bai .
Qi Zhen insisted that Qi Bai was wasting their family's resources while Qi Bai retorted that it was his own money and it doesn't matter how he wanted to spend it .
Of course , the fight went on and on before Qi Zhen left with his parents . But who would have thought that Qi Zhen didn't give up on the matter , the next day Qi Zhen went to a scholar and had him write a slavery document with the lifetime slavery clause . He wanted to ' earn his money 'back that was spent on Father Lin .
After Qi Zhen checked that document with many scholars , he returned to their village and made Father Lin 's press his thumb on the slavery document while the latter was unconscious .
Just like that Father Lin became the slave of the ' Qi ' family . When he woke up , he wanted to return to Dong Tong village but who knew Qi Zhen would bring the document out and threaten Father Lin with the Yamen . Father Lin was a simple fisherman , when has he ever seen a Yamen runner ?
Though he claimed that he was unconscious , he had no evidence while Qi Zhen had a document with his thumb print . Father Lin at once knew who the town magistrate would believe if the matter escalated .
In the end Father Lin had to start serving the Qi family even when he didn't want to , Qi Zhen who got a free servant was really happy . He started to act as a real young master and sought many troubles all of them were cleaned by either Father Lin or Qi Bai .
Many times Father Lin wanted to steal the document but the trouble was that Qi Zhen wasn't the only one who had a document , the Village leader had one too . And because Qi Zhen would send Father Lin to work in the Village head 's fields for free , the latter was also reluctant to let go of Father Lin . In the end the two hid the document so tightly , that Father Lin couldn't find it .
Luckily , after ten years of wonderful harvest , the southeast was troubled with drought . The Qi family had surplus grain all because of Qi Bai 's hard work , if they all lived with frugality they would have survived that calamity but who would have thought that Qi Zhen this stupid bastard would actually find trouble with another villager at this time and offended him - that villager already had enough resentment towards Qi Zhen therefore he told the famine victims about the Qi family's excess grains . The famine victims rushed to their house. They destroyed their belongings, stole their grain and if Father Lin wasn't smart enough to bring Qi Bai 's family into a hiding they would have lost their lives too as Qi Zhen family and parents have already ran away by then .
Once the famine victims were done plundering their village , Father Lin brought Qi Bai 's family out of hiding - and taking advantage of the abandoned village , he rushed inside Qi Zhen 's house and searched for the document , finally finding it .
After that he did the same in the village head 's house then burned both documents including the houses of the people who made life difficult for him . Father Lin wasn't a hard hearted person but his sufferings were really great , he the great fisherman and hunter of the Dong Tong village was actually degraded to the point where he had to wash Qi Zhen 's feet ! It would be surprising if he didn't have any resentment in his heart .
Their food was robbed, and the valuable belongings at home were also taken by those famine victims.. With no other choice, Father Lin had the Qi family pack their bags, took their children, and finally joined the refugees.

Chapter 197 - Cajoled For Long
Name：Shrewd wife of Lin brothers Author：fairytail72
On the way to Dong Tong Town , the crowd of refugees were attacked by the cold and merciless winter winds and Qi Bai and his wife fell sick together with the other refugees . Thinking that he had a strong body Qi Bai , the father of Xiao Shuyan , didn't pay any attention to it and even gave his clothes to his wife and three children despite Father Lin 's repeated warnings .
At first Qi Bai wasn't willing to take his illness seriously , therefore , he didn't listen to Father Lin's suggestion of checking up with a doctor before moving on to the northeast . Qi Bai didn't want to delay the trip because of his illness , so even though he was suffering through high fever he kept on pushing his body . Qi Bai continued to endure it and went on with the journey because of this he fell seriously sick once they left the small town where they all have taken shelter from the cold snow .
After a few days , Qi Bai 's small cold developed into pneumonia and he ended up falling unconscious because of his burning temperature . Father Lin was scared out of his wits , when he saw his good brother falling unconscious - he immediately brought Qi Bai to the town that was closest to them but unfortunately the small town only had a barefoot doctor who only knew treatment of small maladies and couldn't treat Qi Bai properly . However , Father Lin still spent some money from his savings and brought medicine for Qi Bai - but Qi Bai 's condition improved only for a few days before it started deteriorating again .
In this way , Father Lin and Qi Bai 's family had to lodge in another small town for more than a month . To treat Qi Bai 's illness they ended up spending all their savings , even the money that Qi Bai secretly stored for his kids marriage was slowly used up . After continuous treatment , Qi Bai seemed to have realised that his illness couldn't be treated and insisted to continue on with their journey . Father Lin tried to talk Qi Bai out of it and even asked Qi Bai 's wife to implore to Qi Bai but neither of them were able to cajole Qi Bai . In the end , they pawned away their precious belongings and rented an ox cart before continuing on with their journey to the Dong Tong town .
On the road , Qi Bai 's condition once again fluctuated and their travelling expense was also used up . They didn't even have any money to buy food much less treat Qi Bai 's illness . In the end Father Lin 's good brother , Qi Bai passed away before either of them could even make it to the north .
Thus , They had to stop their journey and pawn away whatever was left including their extra clothes to prepare for Qi Bai 's funeral .
Qi Bai 's wife couldn't take the shock and soon she too fell sick and before Father Lin even suppress his grief of losing his good brother , Qi Bai 's wife passed away as well .In the end the funeral for one person became the funeral of two persons , Father Lin buried Qi Bai and his wife together in a closed up flower valley and marked their graves .
And began their journey to the Dong Tong town again , the children didn't want to leave their parents especially the youngest Qi Zhi . He thought that his parents were just asleep and didn't want to leave them alone , it took a lot of cajoling and coaxing from father Lin - only then Qi Zhi stopped keeping vigil next to his parents graves and let Father Lin carry him away .
Qi Shuyan and his sister Qi Mei were more mature and intelligent , thus , they both understood at once that their parents have gone somewhere far away from them and would never return . In the end there were many times , Father Lin caught the two children crying for their parents in the middle of the night .
Father Lin couldn't bear to see his good brother's children cry , in the end he asked them to start calling him father . He told them that even if their parents were no longer here with them , he was still here and he will treat them just like their father did . The children were not willing to call him father at first and Father Lin didn't force them either , instead he started telling stories of his sons and wife to the children .
He wanted the children to know more about their soon going to be big brothers and thus chatted animatedly with them until the three slowly started looking forward to their life together with the Lin family .
Just like that they supported each other and begged for food as they continued on their journey on foot . Had it not been the belief of meeting his family , even father Lin would have perished in the middle of the journey and became worm food - but he couldn't give up because not only he was responsible for the three kids but also because he wanted to see his wife and sons . And if he ended up collapsing on the way back , he would have never been able to die in peace !
Thus , Father Lin gritted his teeth and kept on enduring . He was an adult and could keep up with the winds of cold spring but Little Shuyan couldn't , the poor boy fell sick and soon his condition degraded just like his father .
Father Lin was scared silly thus , without caring about frostbites and his bleeding ulcers -he rushed to the Dong Tong town . If not for Little Shuyan fainting in between he would have ran all the way back to the old Lin house ! He already lost his good brother because of incompetence , he couldn't lose his good brother 's eldest son as well - if he did , how would he have faced his good brother in the netherworld ? Luckily , he met his filial and kind hearted son or else he would have lost his head completely !

Chapter 198 - Missed On So Much
Name：Shrewd wife of Lin brothers Author：fairytail72
" Yuyu , Yanyan , Thank you so much for helping Shuyan " said Father Lin wiping his eyes as he looked at his kids with gratitude , he knew that his sons misunderstood him at first but even then these boys helped Shuyan . It clearly showed their good heart and character - looks like his Lan 'er did a good job in raising their sons . When he was being enslaved by The Qi family , there were many times when Father Lin worried about his Wife. Before marrying him , Zhao Lan was really wilful and she remained so even after marrying him . He even missed his sons and used to worry about how he was missing the crucial period of the growth - there were many times he was anxious and nervous about how his family was living without him . But now , as his sons stood in front of him - healthy and alive with rosy complexion , Father Lin couldn't help but thank God for his mercy and letting his family pass through all the hurdles " father - father missed you so much , I - not a day went by when I didn't think about you guys. I really wanted to return home , I missed you all so much , its good , its good you are healthy and happy -"
Before Father Lin could continue on with his emotional ramblings , Lin Yan and Lin Yu hugged him . Enjoying the familiar warmth of their father that they have missed for so long , for a second Father Lin was stunned but then his old face crumpled and he started brawling like a child . He hugged his sons close and kept patting them on the back , feeling their muscular and strong back - the feeling of loss in his heart doubled . He had lost so much , so much - his sons were already as tall as him . And yet he haven't seen either of them grow , Father Lin cried so wretchedly that everyone who saw him felt his pain , they all felt heartbroken for him even without knowing who the man was , their eyes filled with tears as they looked at Father Lin 's sobbing face .
Lin Yan and Lin Yu also clutched their father's back and sobbed like they did when they were children . When they were young , even though they weren't rich , their father loved them wholeheartedly - if someone dared to hit them once , their father used to hit that person twice . He even saved them from Grandma Lin 's wrath and took everything on himself but never let anyone harm them .
And when they used to fall down and injure themselves , their father was the first person who used to rush towards them and applied medicine . He had never let them suffer , and yet he suffered so much .
The nurse who came out saw this scene and was stunned , this ... a few minutes ago this family was looking at each like they were enemies and now they were hugging and crying together ? What happened in just a few minutes ? However , the nurse was Doctor Gu 's apprentice and was a professional despite his young age thus he knew what to ask and what not to ask - he immediately pulled a serious face and then spoke in his childlike voice " the patient is awake and is asking for you , Sir , please do come inside once you are ready "
After saying so , he turned around and went back inside . But the apprentice 's words were like a wakeup call and everyone stopped crying - Lin Yan pulled away from Father Lin and wiped his tears , pulling Lin Yu aside with him " Father , let's go and see Shuyan . He is still a kid and would be scared if you are not there "
Father Lin nodded and went inside , once he walked inside the medicine hall - he saw Qi Shuyan awake and looking around curiously - though his eyes held some timidity , the kid was still trying to hold his fear inside . Seeing father Lin return , Qi Shuyan heaved a sigh of relief .
" Good child ... are you feeling alright ?" Asked Father Lin as he placed his hand on Qi Shuyan 's forehead . Though Qi Shuyan 's body was still warm , it was a bit better than before and the child was no longer coughing .
Doctor Gu , saw them return and immediately walked inside the hall with a smile " the child is alright but very weak . Lin Yan , Lin Yu , you have to pay attention to the child's diet and let him recover properly . As for medicine , Brother Lin - I have already prescribed the medicine , here take it "
Father Lin took the small paper that Doctor Gu shoved in his hands and immediately bowed " Thank you , Thank you so much brother Gu . Its all thanks to you that this child is alright "
" There is no need for such formality " said Doctor Gu waving Father Lin 's gratitude aside " we both are just like brothers , why are you acting like this ? Don't bow anymore if you do I will get angry "
Father Lin didn't know what to do but he didn't want to upset his old friend in the end he simply smiled awkwardly.
Lin Yan took the paper on which Doctor Gu have written the medicine and said " I will go and buy these as well as something to eat , Ah Yu take care of the kids and father . I will be back . " Then he placed his basket down on the floor and walked out of the medicine hall .
Father Lin "..." who was treated in the same line as little kids .
He looked at his son's vanishing back and smiled ruefully - hah , that brat used to cry in front of him when the girls used to tease him for being more beautiful than them and now he was asking his younger brother to take care of him ? Their father ? Really ?
Father Lin however didn't say anything - looking down at his hollowed and weakened body then furtively looking at Lin Yu who stood tall and straight despite carrying a heavy bucket on his back - yeah , looks like he was really in need to be looked after .

Chapter 199 - Idiot
Name：Shrewd wife of Lin brothers Author：fairytail72
On Su Wan's side she had no inkling that on this trip she surprisingly gained a father in law . Instead after packing up , their group left the main market and wandered around as they searched for a foreman to repair their house . They passed by a pastry shop and Su Wan brought a few snacks , in the given situation it was better to stock up , who knows when the prices of these snacks flare up like everything else ?
Just as she walked out of the pastry shop munching on water chestnut while Lin Jing paid the shopkeeper behind her , there she saw that the opposite to the pastry shop - a new building was being built . Unlike their house that was completely made of wood and straw thatches , this house was built with brick tiles . It looked much stronger and steadier than the house in the Dong Tong village . Su Wan pursed her lips , in her past life she didn't even flinch when she spent more than five million to buy that luxurious apartment but now even the thought of living in a brick house was like a dream to her . She really wanted to live a better life but the road to success wasn't easy , she too wanted to build a good seven storey house but given their family's condition it was currently impossible .
Su Wan sighed but then suppressed the negative voice in her head . So what if she couldn't live in a brick house now ? As long as she worked hard she will able to build it sooner or later , or maybe by then she will build an even more amazing house than this one !
But for now , her eyes flickered with a clever glint as she rushed forward and tugged on Lin Rui 's sleeves " Ah Rui , I think if we ask the big brother working there , he might tell us from where we can buy the wood to repair our house , we can -"
Lin Rui looked over in the direction where Su Wan was pointing and thought about it , his wife was right . Neither he or his eldest brother had any idea where to buy the materials for building home , since neither of them have ever needed to repair their house before . So , it was quite sensible to ask someone who was related to the job instead of loitering around the market without any idea where to start looking .
Thus , he walked forward towards the young man who was aligning the bricks on the wall - then called to the foreman without listening to what Su Wan was saying " this big brother , can I ask you something ?"
The young foreman was deeply focussed in his work thus when someone shouted behind him , he was startled and suddenly let go of the brick that was in his hand .
The brick slipped from his hand was headed directly in Lin Rui 's direction . Lin Rui who didn't thought of this outcome was startled and shocked - he was so scared that he completely forgot about dodging the brick that was heading in his direction .
If the brick really hit his head - its going to smash his head open ! Ah !
Seeing that brick was almost on top of his head and there was nothing he could do - Lin Rui closed his eyes ready to bear the consequences of his stupid actions . Honestly , why did he had to act in such a hasty manner ? Couldn't he just wait for the foreman brother to be done ?
He was already prepared for the brick to fall on his head and knock him unconscious but then he felt sudden pain at his waist as if someone had thrown themselves at him , and the next thing he knew was he was spun around before his back hit the ground .
On his left , he heard the loud thump of the brick hitting the ground and inwardly shuddered .
' God , I was almost smashed to death just now '
" Are you stupid !" a furious yet worried voice rang in his ear and Lin Rui opened his eyes , only to see that his entire vision was obscured by Su Wan 's tiny face that was flushed red as she panted with either rage or tiredness " are you out of your mind ? What were you thinking ! Who told you to rush inside like that ? I did say that we can ask the foreman brother for help but I didn't ask you to rush in while it was still dangerous why didn't you listened to what I was saying before you rushed , you stupid idiot !"
Su Wan was really angry and flustered this time , she was still talking to Lin Rui - asking him to go inside with her in the tea shop next to pastry shop and have some snacks and tea until it was the foreman and his brothers lunch time but before she could finish the half unconscious idiot was already walking towards the foreman - only she knows how scared she was when she saw that the brick falling on Lin Rui . But instead of dodging , this idiot stood still ,Su Wan almost lost her life when she saw this scary scene . If something really happened to Lin Rui she wouldn't have been able to forgive herself ever because he went to this dangerous place because of her suggestion !
" Young man are you okay ?" The foreman who was working immediately stopped what he was doing and came down - worried about Lin Rui 's safety " I'm sorry but you startled me and , I apologise - I should have kept a firm grip -"
" why are you apologising ? " snorted Su Wan as she helped Lin Rui on his feet , the first thing she did was to hurriedly check whether Lin Rui was really alright and when she saw that he was indeed unharmed , she heaved a sigh of relief before glaring at the latter " its his fault that he rushed inside this place without caring about his safety . Even a five year old would be smarter than him , humph !"
Lin Rui rubbed his nose uncomfortably , actually he couldn't say anything because he was in the wrong this time . Ever since he was a child , he was a bit introverted and liked being alone to make matter worse he was an over-thinker thus his mind would usually wander off in between .. Today he had a lot to think about after meeting with Headmaster Yuan and everything that happened , in the end his overthinking went so far that he ended up wandering off in some other plane and didn't listen to what Su Wan was saying .

Chapter 200 - [Bonus ] Need To Be Punished Because You Pissed Me Off
Name：Shrewd wife of Lin brothers Author：fairytail72
Warning : public show of affection , avoid if its not your cup of tea .
" I'm alright " said Lin Rui , he was indeed fine except for a little pain in his waist where Su Wan knocked him everything was alright . Then he embarrassingly cleared his throat and said in a low voice " thank you , you didn't have to do that though , What if you ended up hurting yourself Wan Wan ?" Lin Rui was indeed embarrassed because he didn't avoid it when he clearly could have but still his main concern was Su Wan who was his wife , he was her man and he should be protecting her not the other way round !
Su Wan was a smart woman , how could she not know what was going in Lin Rui 's head and she immediately smacked the back of his head " you were almost smashed by that brick yet you still want to act masculine with me ? If you want to act macho then first grow some muscles like your eldest brother before acting all manly in front of me ! What do you mean by that I didn't have to do that ? Are you wishing for me to become a widow so early at my age ? Do you think that I won't beat you up just like your aunt and uncle because you are my husband ? If you don't want me to protect you then you better protect yourself ! You didn't even dodged it , what was I supposed to do ? Watch your head smash open and bloom like the red flowers of wedding ? With your weak scholarly body , do you think you would be able to withstand the impact huhh ?"
' is she disdainful of me because I don't have muscles ? Is that it ?' Thought Lin Rui inwardly , it wasn't that he didn't have muscles , he did but unlike his eldest brother and third brother , his figure was more on a leaner side like that of an Korean Oppa ! Lin Rui looked down at his abdominal muscles and poked his eight pack abs ' dang it , I already have so much muscles ! But since she dared to look down at me ! I will show her what a weak scholar is worth it , damn it ! Does she think he won't be able to teach her a lesson just because He was a scholar ?'
Su Wan didn't know that her angry remarks have triggered the darkening of a certain clean and neat scholar husband of hers . It wasn't that she was looking down on Lin Rui , she was just too angry ! And somewhere beneath her anger was her childhood terror that was clawing at her heart , she has seen her mother jump from the balcony of their house which was on tenth floor after her mother caught her father cheating on her with that Su Lan 's bitch of a mother . She have seen the splattered blood and chunks of human flesh being cleaned up after the police took away her mother's body - though Su Wan had always acted in a frivolous , bold and unrestrained manner - she would be lying if she said that she wasn't affected by that incident .
Her mother in her memory was a weak and timid woman , Su Wan who had a strong and bold personality looked down on her mother a little in her heart . Clearly , her mother could have avoided death , she could have chosen to stay alive for her daughter but instead she chose a man who wasn't even faithful to her . That's why Su Wan was so resistant to man and marriage , the only reason she married Wang Tao was because she thought of him as weak and gullible , she believed that as long as she was nice to him. The latter won't cheat but even if he did - a ruthless expression flashed in her eyes , as she remembered why exactly she married Wang Tao , actually she wasn't that in love with him , the only reason she married him was because the latter was easy to control and even if he went out of her control - she could've easily destroyed him , and that's exactly what she did before she came here .
Su Wan had always locked her heart away after seeing what the so called ' love' did to her mother but unfortunately for her - these five men had somehow broken through her barriers and made way in her heart . And that scared her She was willing to share her body and mind but not her heart - but contrary to her expectations , these five brothers have unknowingly became important to her . Just now when she saw the brick falling on Lin Rui , who wasn't moving - Su Wan 's heart was filled with anxiety .
When Wang Tao cheated on her and she caught him in the act , she didn't even flinched in fact she even enjoyed watching their videos . But this time it was completely different , seeing Lin Rui in danger her heart almost stopped beating , leaving her flustered .
Su Wan didn't want to hide anymore that's what she promised herself but when she realised the importance of these five men in her life because of this small incident - she felt vulnerable . Yes , vulnerable , they could hurt her , curse her , beat her but they had to become important existence for her ! What if these men cheated on her just like Wang Tao , what if they decided to leave her alone ?
Heh cheat on her ? As if ! They dared to invite this stupid love devil in her heart then they might be responsible for it , if they dared to cheat - see if whether or not she will castrate their member and feed it to them ! Su Wan 's lips curled and she stared at Lin Rui who has just opened his mouth to speak - all of a sudden a chill ran down his spine .' What ? What now ?'
He didn't know that this chill wasn't something he alone felt , Lin Jing who just came out of the pastry shop also felt it .. and so did the other three despite being so far away from Su Wan .
" what's wrong ?" Asked Lin Jing as he came to stand beside Su Wan who was glaring at Lin Rui like the master of the house while Lin Rui was meekly standing in front of her like a wronged wife " Wan Wan ?"
" Ask the foreman brother where we could buy the housing material , Jing ge " said Su Wan coldly before grasping Lin Rui 's wrist " I have something important to talk to Ah Rui " then without waiting for Lin Jing 's reply , Su Wan dragged Lin Rui away all the way until they reached an abandoned dark alley on the corner of the street .
" Wan Wan what are you -" Lin Rui began to say but before he could , Su Wan flicked her wrist and pushed him inside the alley " hey , what -" his words faltered as Su Wan sauntered inside the alley and pushed him against her wall before caging him between the wall and her own body .
Lin Rui swallowed his saliva then darted a glance at the opening of the alley , though the two of them were quite far away from the street anyone could walk on in and see them like this " Wan Wan - don't do this , We need to act with dignity when we are outside -"
" dignity eh ?" twirling a lock of Lin Rui 's bangs , Su Wan smirked like a hooligan before pressing her body even tightly against Lin Rui " where was your dignity when you kissed me outside in our home's courtyard ?"
Lin Rui 's face flushed and he swallowed once again before looking away " that - that was different we were at home but right now -"
" Right now ? You have pissed me off " finished Su Wan before tugging on Lin Rui 's shirt and letting it loosely fall on his broad shoulders . She licked his pectoral muscles before circling his right nipple and murmured " so now you are going to be punished for that and if you think I'm too less of a dignified woman then come bite me ". With that she fiercely bit on Lin Rui's chest as the latter shrieked but then he remembered where he was and hurriedly muffled his shriek by pressing the palm of his hand against his mouth .
' She - she really did it ! ' gasped Lin Rui inwardly as he tried to suppress his moans when Su Wan 's sensual tongue licked his chest. He could hear the sound of Su Wan sucking and licking on his chest and he was heaving with frustration , he was actually being suppressed by a woman and that too in public ? The more Lin Rui thought about it the more embarrassing he found himself ' just wait , one day I will take advantage of you just like this and that too in public !! but for now he would just enjoy what his wife was doing to him '
What ? Can he do something else other than letting her violating him ? Can he push her away ? No . Can he stop her ? Also no .. Then why not enjoy at least the feeling of her soft and warm tongue on his chest was out of this world .
