Chapter 231 - What Are You Here For
Name：Shrewd wife of Lin brothers Author：fairytail72
But no matter how much regret she felt, the grains were sold and they had nothing - not even a single grain left in their house. Her nose was still twitching as she deeply inhaled the faint scent of chicken that was left behind after Qi Zhi left the courtyard with his bowl. Madam Zhang didn't want to bow her head in front of these nephews of hers, she refused to believe that these good for nothings whom she once bullied that they didn't even dare to say east if she said west - would one day be more successful than her own Ah Che.
However, but the reality was that their family were indeed in a better condition than her own so she could only plaster a fake smile " Let the past be in the past, what's the point of discussing it now, right? Anyway, what did you cook? It smells so good "
Su Wan rolled her eyes at Madam Zhang's shamelessness. If this was before she would have definitely kicked these two women out but after seeing their ' good ' condition she couldn't help but feel a little devious. She was someone who worked in the food industry, therefore she knew very well about balanced diet - with Madam Zhang and Old Madam Lin's complexion it was clear that the two of them were not having an easy time, even if they were eating three meals a day they might not be able to buy meat. This thought alone was enough to cheer her up, humph - these two women ruined her ' appetite ' earlier if not for these two she might have tasted the ' meat ' that she has been dying to eat for so long but because of them she lost her chance.
So, she might as well avenge herself by making these two women so angry that even their intestines might turn green!
Su Wan placed a hand on her waist then smiled like an enchanting vixen, that curved her beautiful almond eyes " it's nothing, we just cooked some simple chicken porridge for dinner nothing else. The chicken was fresh and plump that's why it tasted delicious, compared to wild vegetables and rice, it tasted a hundred times better "
' Humph, because of you I missed my chance to taste my handsome husbands, see if I don't anger you to death !' Thought Su Wan inwardly.
Madam Zhang clenched her hands that were hidden in her sleeves, this winter she had only eaten normal porridge with nothing but boiled cabbage and radish, her mother in law was such a petty miser that she wouldn't even let her use a small amount of oil while cooking the vegetables - in their family other than Lin Che and Her husband, no one was allowed to eat vegetables cooked with oils. In such a condition where eating vegetables cooked in oil was already a miraculous feat, Madam Zhang could only dream of eating meat much less now when the price of grains was so high!
But this spendthrifts actually bought a plump chicken and cooked it? And they even gave that porridge to those bastards? Where was the justice in it? She was their aunt yet she didn't even receive a single feather yet those little bastards actually ate a bowl of chicken porridge?
Madam Zhang couldn't help but curse the Qi siblings in the process of cursing them, she even cursed mother Lin for being stupid - it was fine if she wanted to keep her husband even after he turned unfaithful to her but what was the need of keeping his bastards, the ones that he gave birth with another woman? Were Zhao Lan's brains eaten by dogs?
Thus, just the mention of chicken porridge was enough to make Madam Zhang's eyes go green with greed.
However, even though her insides were burning with anxiety and anger - Madam Zhang had to keep up with her pretence and keep smiling " that's for sure, porridge made with chicken is delicious and nutritious . Wild vegetables can't even compare with it " but it was a pity that her family could only eat wild vegetables now.
Mother Lin who originally wanted to spend some quality time alone with her husband who returned after ten years wasn't appreciative of Madam Zhang and Old grandma Lin trespassing in their house, that too at such a late hour. If these two women didn't interrupt them then she would have enjoyed a wonderful walk with her husband under the pearly swirls of moonlight and maybe her daughter in law and son would have been working on the process of making a grandson for her - ( humph, just because she was naive didn't mean she was an innocent woman. She had already seen her third sons frustrated expression with five sons and two daughters will she not be able to deduce his expression correctly ?). All in all Mother Lin knew that at this hour her family could have done anything but it would still be more important than this! So she didn't even bother with keeping pretences when she saw that neither Madam Zhang nor old grandma Lin mentioned their motive to come here.
" Why are you here? What do you want? I don't think that you both came here just because you wanted to see Ah Heng? My husband returned in the evening and it's almost past midnight, what are you doing here ?" asked Mother Lin directly, since she no longer wanted to talk nonsense with the two of them.
Madam Zhang opened her mouth but then closed it, she was after all the wife of the younger brother. Even if Madam Zhang was able to order Zhao Lan around before she could no longer do it anymore because Zhao Lan was no longer the same Zhao Lan. Now not only does she has her son as her backing, but even her husband also returned.
And Madam Zhang knew how much Lin Heng adored Zhao Lan, so didn't say anything and just turned to look at the old lady. She came to the Lin brothers house together with the old lady, then she should let the old lady do the talking.. After all, no one took her seriously here but the old Lady was still Zhao Lan and Lin Heng 's elder , as long as the two of them gave enough to the Old lady then her nephews and their hussy would have to show respect to them as well .

Chapter 232 - [Bonus ] How Thick Her Skin Is
Name：Shrewd wife of Lin brothers Author：fairytail72
Can you all see chapter 227 and 228 ? I made a mistake and pasted the same chapter twice before modifying it to the correct one , some readers can't see it so wanted to know if its the same for everyone or just a few ?
Madam Zhang's plan would have worked in the past but now this plan was just like a gun with no bullet. Lin Heng had already faced enough cruelty in the hands of Old Grandmother Lin but he still showed her adequate respect because she was still his father's wife in name, however after seeing Lin Ze's cruelty - he no longer had any hopes for this stepmother of his.
Lin Heng might be a jolly guy but he wasn't stupid or else his sons wouldn't have such an amazing intelligence either. He was really good at observing people, thus he knew that even if Lin Ze tried to kill him - this half brother of his only has limited guts. It was impossible for him not to tell Old grandma Lin about what he did to him, his elder brother.
Old grandmother Lin must have known what happened with him but instead, she helped her son falsify the evidence and even bullied his family thinking that he was ' dead '. As long as he remains ' dead ' no one would know what happened.
He understood old grandmother Lin's intentions to protect her son and if she only protected him then he would have forgiven her. But the fact that she knew all about Lin Ze's actions yet still shamelessly bullied his sons and wife made him so disgusted that he wanted to hurl whatever he have eaten right on her face.
So, no matter how Madam Zhang tried to guilt-trip him. He simply stood by his wife like a pitiful, weak victim who haven't even recovered half of his energy after suffering so much. He wouldn't say a thing to help these two greedy women - whatever he owed to Grandma Lin, he repaid it the day he saved her son's life with his own.
Now, he owed her nothing!
" Lan'er, I don't feel well. My head is hurting and I feel dizzy " said Father Lin with a pitiful expression as he leaned against his wife " Lan'er help me back to the room, I think - I think I am going to faint, Lan 'er - "
" Don't! just keep quiet" said Mother Lin as she worriedly looked at her husband, her eyes were brimming with concern and she hurriedly wrapped her arm around her husband figure that was leaning against her " Ah Chen, go and call Doctor Gu. I think your father is also coming down with the flu"
Father Lin had given his cotton-padded jacket to Qi Zhi thus no one thought otherwise. Lin Chen who saw his father's weak and frail complexion that looked even pale under the moonlight, immediately felt anger raging inside his body as he furiously turned to glare at the two troublemakers.
" you better pray that my father remains alright and healthy, or else !" Lin Chen didn't feel any qualms in threatening his own grandmother and aunt, in his eyes, these two women were not worth his time. Or else he would have long taught them a lesson that even their seven generations won't forget!
Lin Chen didn't finish his warning instead he rushed out of the courtyard, it was already midnight he was afraid that if he went late to Doctor Gu's house then doctor Gu might have already fallen asleep.
Lin Chen ran out of the house while Mother Lin and Lin Jing helped, the 'weak 'father Lin.
Su Wan saw the act that her father in law was putting and felt her lips twitch. Why didn't nobody tell her that her father in law had full potential of becoming a verified white lotus? Mother Lin and the Lin brothers were honest farmers and have never met such persons who liked to act as ' white lotus ' but Su Wan who had once fought with her step-sister at every turn of her life could detect a white lotus ' bullshit ' from five miles away. Will she not be able to see through her father in law's act? Hah!
Madam Zhang and grandmother Lin's face turned grim when they saw that Father Lin returned to his room on the premise of not feeling well, instead of helping them. The two of them were infuriated at the thought of losing his ' support '.
If Lin Heng didn't helo them how will they get the grains?
Madam Zhang poked the old lady who glared at her, just this one glare was enough to make Madam Zhang shrink her neck like a frightened quail. However, her hunger still overcome her fright and she mouthed the words ' green vegetables and rice ' to Old Grandma Lin, who felt her heart ache.
In the end, she silently swallowed all the curses she wished to throw at Su Wan who was staring at her haughtily ( she wasn't, it was her usual expression ) and coughed as if she was embarrassed "it is like this, our family grains have been emptied and now it's very late for us to go to the town and buy the grains . So, why don't you lend us some grains ? We only need to borrow a bit " though Old grandma Lin said it with a smile, her smile looked even more ugly than crying.
Borrow? Su Wan sneered as she looked at the two women who were standing without a shred of their previous arrogance in front of her. She knew that the two of them only chose to become ' humble ' because her father in law didn't support them and they lost their most ' important trump card '.
Her lips mockingly curled as she looked at the two women " a little bit? I wonder what exactly do you mean by just a little bit ?"
Tonight She really wanted to see how ' thick ' this old woman's face was.
Old grandmother thought about what Lin Yunxi told her, according to her granddaughter the Lin brothers brought back a cart full of grains, and with those shiny silvers in their hands, they might have no trouble in purchasing another meter of rice even if it became more expensive than before. Thinking that these bastards actually had seven to eight meters of rice, old grandmother Lin shamelessly stretched one finger and said " only one meter and no more - " then she paused before continuing " and Yunxi told me that you have grown some green vegetables as well, a bit of them would be good too"
Su Wan nearly lost her composure and almost laughed out loud, a meter of rice wasn't much in this old woman's eyes? Did she even know what the exact price of one meter of rice was at the town currently? And she even has the face to ask for their green vegetables?
Before Su Wan could say Lin Yan whose face was already cold turned completely chilly as he coldly spoke " one meter of rice? Are you out of your tree or do you think we are stupid? Do you know that a meter of rice is being sold for at least four taels of silver! There is no way we are going to lend you one meter of rice, you better go back home "
" what do you mean you can't ?" said Madam Zhang immediately, because she was both anxious and enraged her voice turned sharper, " Yunxi told that you guys brought a cart full of grains, even if you take out a meter of grain for our family - you wouldn't suffer a loss !"
They won't suffer a loss? Did she really say that? In the village, four taels was a family's entire years saving even if their family's conditions were good it would still take six months or so to save so much money yet sue dared to say that they won't suffer a loss? How will they not suffer a loss - if they lend four taels worth of rice to the old Lin family, they could simply think of throwing that rice in a gutter because there was no way with which the old Lin Family will repay them, with no breadwinner in their family how will they return the borrowed grain!

Chapter 233 - Raised Us ?
Name：Shrewd wife of Lin brothers Author：fairytail72
Lin Yan's expression sank, he didn't want to admit that these two women were related to their family, he didn't even think twice before ruthlessly refusing Madam Zhang " I have already said that we won't lend you our family's rice. So why are you talking so much nonsense? Can't you understand simple words? No, means no ! "
He knew the character of the old Lin family, they loved to take advantage of the weak. If he lend them rice tonight then they would definitely come to borrow rice from the family tomorrow and even after the day after tomorrow. They were the kind of people who wouldn't think twice before leeching of, of any person who showed them even the minimal amount of kindness.
And what was borrowed was supposed to be returned but was The Old Lin family someone who would repay what they owe? Of course not!
If he agreed to lend them even a single rice grain then they would definitely try to make the most out of their family. Forget about returning the borrowed rice, they might try to take advantage of them! He used to endure it because he was worried about them bullying his sick mother and injured younger brother but now he wasn't willing to let them take any more advantage of his family.
He hadn't forgotten how this family has treated Lin Yu when the latter was injured, even when it was their family's responsibility! He would never forget that because of their greediness and ruthlessness, he agreed to become the servant of that old perverted woman. That night when Lin Yu was pushed off the cliff, he has begged these two women.
He and his elder brother had gone on their knees and even banged their foreheads on the ground to beg their old grandmother to return their daily wages.
But what did the old woman say back then?
This old woman has looked down at him and his brother contemptuously back then all while ruthlessly sneering ' that little brat is such a jinx. It's good if he dies, what's the point of saving that ill star? He is obstructing my Che 'er's path to success, if not for him -with my Che 'er smarts how will he not succeed in the examination ?'
Back then no matter how much Lin Yan begged, these two women didn't even budge. Instead, they kept cursing his little brother, if they didn't push him and his brothers in a corner then he would've never accepted the job of becoming a male servant for that woman.
His anger from the past was yet to dissipate yet here they were intensifying it. But this time he will not endure, there was no need to endure!
When Old Grandma Lin heard Lin Yan refuse her without giving her any face, she jumped in anger as she pointed at him, before she started yelling furiously "how dare you! You little brat! Have you forgotten that this old lady was the one who raised you and your good for nothing brothers! When your father passed away I was the one who gave you a roof to stay and even let you eat off my table! You stayed at my home and ate my family's grains for ten years! Ten whole years yet you dare refuse this old lady? I am your grandmother who raised you, fed you, gave you clothes to wear but now that this old grandmother has come to beg for food from your family you are refusing me !"
Lin Yan's eyes turned cold, it would have been better if Old Grandmother Lin didn't bring up the past. His cold gaze swept right over to Old Grandma Lin's face, his cold gaze was sharp just like a sharpened knife that really wanted to skin Old Grandma Lin's thick face.
His lips curled as an enraged snarl rumbled in his throat " you raised us, brothers? Are you really that shameless to say that you raised me and my brothers? When my father was alive he was the one responsible for bringing money to the family, your son didn't even leave the house except on days when he left for town to gamble. When everyone thought that our father was dead - we arranged our father's funeral, his mourning day didn't even pass yet you sent my older brother to hunt in the forest! Lin Chen was working in the fields while I was forced to go to the docks to earn some extra money. That too wasn't enough for you, even with the three of us working you thought that the money was too little, so you forced Ah Rui to quit his studies and start working as well! Do you dare to say that Lin Che is better than Ah Rui? Ah Rui was even praised by the teacher of the academy! But what about Lin Che? We brothers were working outside while Ah Yu and mother were being pushed by you lot to do the housework. Even after working so much did my brothers and I ever have a complete meal or a warm blanket in winters ?"
Whether it was spring, autumn or winter - the old Lin family didn't even give them a thick blanket. Their mother used all their old clothes and tried to make blankets for them but their old clothes were so tattered and thin that forget about making a thick blanket they barely covered their bodies. Their grandmother was petty and always looked at them with suspicion, she was worried that the brothers might try to sneak in the kitchen and eat something that was left behind by their family, so she wouldn't even let them enter the main house. Their family had no choice but to spend the cold winters in the small woodshed next to the pigpen.
Every single night that they spent in the old shed was sheer torture for their family. The brothers would huddle together trying to warm each other but the winters were so cold that even after squeezing together they would still tremble at night. As for Mother Lin, it was better not to even think about it - if he and his brothers weren't so useless then their mother's illness wouldn't get so bad.
Luckily they had a tough physique and didn't freeze to death! If they were able to stay alive till now it was all because of their good karma, Old Grandma Lin played no role in it - no, wait, she did play a role.
If she didn't torture them so much then their bodies wouldn't have gotten used to their sufferings!

Chapter 234 - [Bonus ] Leave
Name：Shrewd wife of Lin brothers Author：fairytail72
Old grandmother Lin was stunned, she was someone who loved to take advantage of others. After Father Lin was lost in the sea, she used her position as an elder and suppressed the Lin brothers, she used to take these brothers for granted but now that she was facing obstructions again and again she realised that these brothers were no longer the same anymore.
Madam Zhang's expression turned sullen when she heard Lin Yan compare her precious son with that bastard Lin Rui. She was both upset and angry, mainly for two reasons firstly she didn't like it when someone compared or tried to put down her son and secondly she knew that Lin Rui was indeed much intelligent than Lin Che.
Back then when they went to the academy and tried to make Lin Rui quit the school, the headmaster of that academy tried to stop them. He insisted that with Lin Rui's intelligence it wouldn't be difficult for him to become an official in the future.
Though it was a matter of great pride and respect to have an official in their family - Madam Zhang was greedy to have that official position given to her son instead of nephew. After all her son becoming an official was different from her nephew becoming an official and then there was also the matter of the great fortune master telling them that someone from their family will become a great official in the future.
Madam Zhang knew that the chances of Lin Rui becoming an official was higher than that of her son but then she thought about the fortune master's words and deduced that as long as she stopped Lin Rui from studying her son will have the chance to become an official. After all, the fortune of becoming an official belonged to their family, if Lin Rui stopped studying and no one was there to compete with her son then that fortune will definitely belong to her son.
All in all her deductions were just as stupid as her face but she didn't know it.
So, when Madam Zhang heard Lin Yan humiliating Lin Che, she reacted just like a cat whose tail has been stepped on. She jumped and pointed at Lin Yan " So what? Mother in law is your grandmother it's your duty to be filial to her! How can you be so ungrateful ?"
She spoke as if was speaking in defence of Old grandma Lin but in reality, she was trying to condemn Lin Yan and his brothers for being unfilial.
" Grandmother ?" sneered Lin Yu " has she ever tr..treated us as her grandsons? You know it better than us w..whether or not she thought of us grand..grandsons or she thought of us her fam..family's slave. And why do you keep calling us unfilial? Haven't we already sent enough grains for her? There was so m..much grains that she would..wouldn't be able to finish it even if she ate for two months, where did it go ?"
" Exactly, " said Lin Yan chiming in as his face turned even colder as he thought about what they did to the grains they sent them " we have fulfilled our responsibilities by sending the grains to your family before this month started. And even if you think that those grains were not enough then you should go and ask Uncle to bring you some, its not our responsibility alone to support you - Lin Che and Uncle too have the same obligations towards you "
" How can that be the same !" shrieked Madam Zhang immediately, her son was still studying and her husband loved to act like a big buddha. If the responsibilities of taking care of the old woman also fell on their head then what will they eat? How will she save money for Yunxi 's dowry? How will she smuggle some grains to her own family?
" How is it not the same aunt ?" Said Lin Yan as his lips curled up " Grandmother is our grandmother but is not Lin Che's grandmother? Is she not uncle's mother? Why is it that it's only our responsibility to support her? Even if Lin Che cannot support grandmother right now, Uncle can - right? He is so old already if I'm not wrong he is in his forties, as grandmother's son it's his responsibility to take care of his mother in her old age. After all, compared to us, grandmother treated Uncle and Lin Che really well. I'm sure they will never try to shrink away from their responsibilities "
The more Lin Yan spoke the more grandmother Lin's face sank, she too wanted to enjoy filial piety from her son and grandson but both of them didn't have the resources! Forget about buying grains for her to eat, her son still needed her to support him! Old Grandma Lin inhaled sharply before she looked at Lin Yan with a blackened face "alright, alright! Who are you to teach me? Your uncle and cousin are indeed responsible for supporting me but your uncle is hurt severely and ah Che is in the academy neither of them can do anything right now. Ah Yan, do you really have to be so ruthless? Think about it isn't it because of grandma that you and your family is living well? If I didn't agree when you raised the matter of separating from our family, will your family still be enjoying these blessings alone? Even if you don't want to believe it, all of this happened because of my kindness so why can't you show me a little amount of kindness and share some of your blessings with us ?"
' God ! she sure is shameless .!' These five words were the only thing that appeared in Lin Yan and the others mind.
Old Grandmother Lin was so shameless that she wasn't feeling embarrassed but they sure were feeling embarrassed in her place.
Lin Yan's expression turned colder and colder, the more he listened to Grandmother Lin the more his anger flared. In the end, he couldn't even listen anymore, he raised his finger and pointed at their house door and said " I don't want to talk about this anymore you two can leave now "
Old grandmother Lin wanted to say some more but Su Wan didn't give her a chance. She walked forward with an arrogant sway of her waist and crossed her hands in front before cocking her brow haughtily " did you not hear what my husband said? He wants you to get the f*ck out of our house "
The next second Lin Chen returned with a sleepy Doctor Gu in tow. He looked at the two women in front of him before his expression sank as he said coldly " you two still haven't left? Do you want me to send you two out like this morning ?"
The mother and daughter in law pair shuddered and they felt their legs tremble.. Now that Lin Chen has returned it seemed impossible to borrow rice from them, there was no way they would be able to rob their rice. But they were reluctant to leave empty-handed ah !

Chapter 235 - What Can Your Ghost Do?
Name：Shrewd wife of Lin brothers Author：fairytail72
Realising that it was impossible to borrow grains from the Lin brothers, Old Grandma Lin finally pried her mouth open and said unwilling " okay why don't we do this - we will not borrow the money from you but instead we will buy it, will this do ?"
Buy? They were actually willing to buy? Heh!
Su Wan sneered inwardly but she didn't show it instead she nodded understandably and said "alright, you want one meter of rice right? Then that will be one silver "
Old grandmother Lin's expression changed drastically when she heard Su Wan's words " one silver coin? Are you trying to joke with us? Why don't you go ahead and rob this old woman! From where will I get one silver? And that too for just rice !"
" even if I rob you, I won't find that much money in your house," said Su Wan as she rolled her eyes with a casual shrug " if you think I'm asking for too much money then you can send Uncle to town tomorrow and see for yourself who will agree to sell one meter of rice for a silver coin to you if you can find it any cheaper than this I will take my hat off for you "
Old grandmother Lin opened her mouth to curse at Su Wan but Madam Zhang pulled at her sleeves wanting her to stay quiet, she winked at her mother in law meaningfully. Old grandmother Lin was surprised but she wanted to see what Madam Zhang wanted to do and nodded her head.
Madam Zhang smiled politely then rubbing her hands she looked at Su Wan with an expression of an old man trying to fool a young girl " Wan Wan, we didn't bring any money with us when we were coming here. We thought that as we are one family we will be able to borrow the grains from you but no worries if you don't want to lend us, we won't force you either. However, your grandmother and my family haven't eaten anything today - why don't you give me the rice grains first? I will cook some porridge for my family and then send the money with Yunxi? "
Humph, these brats all lived in her family's home ate off their table and yet they wanted to smuggle money from her family? Not a chance!
" Why does it matter to me if you haven't eaten anything ?" asked Su Wan, her face full of scorn. She wasn't the slightest bit surprised that this Madam Zhang was trying to take advantage of their family even when she was starving, she simply shook her head and said " My family is not a family of merchants and I am not a shopkeeper either, there is no way I will let you buy grains on credit. If you don't give me money I won't give you any grains, its simple as that "
Old grandmother Lin couldn't help but stomp her feet as she pointed her finger at Su Wan and yelled furiously " you little slut! You are just trying to talk in circles, aren't you? You are trying to play with me, isn't it! How dare you, I'm your elder and yet you dared to act disrespectful towards me, if I don't teach you a lesson today then My surname won't be Lin anymore !"
" Your surname isn't Lin anyway " deadpanned Lin Yan as he dragged Su Wan behind him and stood in front of her with his arms crossed, he didn't even flinch when Old grandma Lin blew up in anger and started stomping her feet " and you better forget about teaching Wan Wan a lesson with your qualifications you are not even worthy of touching a strand of her hair and if you dare to do so - then heh, you better not regret it later on "
When Lin Yan intercepted her Old grandmother Lin almost fainted from anger. Not only was the little bitch bent on finding trouble with her even her grandsons were rebelling one after another, if she knew this was going to happen then she would have rather broken their legs than let them separate from their family, look only two months have passed and yet these grandsons of hers were already standing against her " you - you bastard you dare to threaten me? What are you going to do huh? Beat me? Hit me? Hah? Then hit! Hit this old lady to see if I don't teach you a lesson !"
" I don't need to hit you for teaching you a lesson " sneered Lin Yan as he stared down at his grandmother contemptuously " but if you dare find trouble with Wan Wan then I will find trouble with your precious little grandson - if you slap my wife once I will slap your grandson twice !"
" Don't you dare to touch my Che 'er! If you find trouble with him I will hang myself right in front of your house " Lin Che was Old grandma Lin's lifeline, she valued her grandson so much that no one was even allowed to talk badly about him much less touch him. The second Lin Yan mentioned that he would find trouble with Lin Che, Both - Old grandma Lin and Madam Zhang flared up like cats on hot tin.
" You do that " sneered Su Wan without even bothering to keep a polite front anymore " at least if you off yourself then we wouldn't have to worry about seeing your unpleasant face every now and then and don't threaten us with how your ghost will come to haunt our family. We are already living in a house that's rumoured to be haunted do you think that we will be scared of your ghost? And even if your ghost comes to haunt us what will it do - count money for us ?"
Old Grandmother Lin face turned livid and she felt even more furious in her heart, she thought that if she were to threaten them with suicide these people would take a step back but with how daring Su Wan was it was like hitting a cotton wall! Ugh so infuriating!

Chapter 236 - [Bonus ] Bloodthirst ?
Name：Shrewd wife of Lin brothers Author：fairytail72
Seeing that neither soft nor hard approaches were useful, Old Grandma Lin could only grit her teeth and leave with some words " You are really good for nothing hussy ! You dared to curse this old lady, Pei ! Let's see how the Karma strikes back at you ! And you " pointing at Lin Yan and the others Grandmother Lin sneered " you bunch of white eyes wolves, you better remember what you did to this old lady today! Once Ah Che becomes an official - let's see what you will do then! Let's go !"
Madam Zhang didn't want to leave either without taking advantage of them, she dawdled in the front courtyard before she sneered coldly " Don't act so high and mighty, so what if you have money today? You only have those filthy silvers and nothing else once my son becomes an official, he will have both power and money! Let's see how long you will be able to live like this for long, sooner or later you will suffer and when that day comes our family would simply stand aside and laugh at your humiliation !"
" You don't have to worry even if there is such a thing as karma then it will bite your family first before mine " Su Wan answered back ruthlessly " and the future is long no one knows what will happen, so what if your son is studying to become an official? My husband is studying to become one as well! You don't have to worry about anything even if your son becomes an official it would be after my husband becomes one !"
Old grandmother Lin and Madam Zhang walked out of their house one after another. They didn't stop spitting and cursing even after walking quite a distance away from their house, in-fact they kept swearing until their curses reached up to Su Wan and Zhao Lan's eighteenth generation of ancestors. The only thing that stopped them from cursing Lin brothers was that they shared the genealogy.
Su Wan didn't even bother listening to their curses anymore instead she returned back to her room. She was tired and sleepy, of course after doing such strenuous activities in the room it was not surprising that she was feeling a little tired and with such a big ' orgasm block ' she was in no mood to carry on. And even if she was her husbands might not be in the mood to continue, she turned to look at Lin Chen and Lin Yu who were fiercely staring off in the distance.
Their eyes flickering together as if they were planning something. Of course, they were!
" Don't hurt those two a lot " whispered Su Wan as she passed by them, she knew that with their tempers it was impossible for them to stay quiet after getting interrupted in such an unpleasant manner. It would be surprising if they let Old madam Lin and madam Zhang go just like that, and she wasn't going to stop them.
What? Her mood was totally ruined alright? Someone's gotta pay for it.
Lin Chen and Lin Yu heard their wife's words, at first they were shocked but then a stunning thrill shot their bodies. Oh looks like their wife was willing to accept them - just as they were!
" Don't worry ." Lin Chen assured Su Wan with a grin " we won't let them trouble us again "
Though he would have loved to continue from where they left off, but currently he was too furious to control himself. He was afraid that he might hurt Su Wan in his anger so it was better for him to ' cool off '. After all, he couldn't control his strength when he was angry or upset.
Lin Yu was thinking about the same thing, he too was feeling so bitter that he wanted to hurt someone. He was afraid that if he touched Su Wan in his current state, then he might make her bleed in his frenzied state. When he was angry he wanted to hurt someone until all his anger dissipated, he couldn't hit Su Wan but if he f*cked her now then he might f*ck her until she dropped unconscious - something that he didn't want to do to her especially when it was her first time.
" L..let's go " Lin Yu didn't trust himself with Su Wan at the moment, so he was in a haste to get away from her. He was too dangerous for her right now, it was better if he stayed away from her right now. His eyes flashed with killing intent as he suppressed the murderous aura that nearly rolled off his body - he needed to control himself.
' Kill them, end them, finish them. Then you will be happy! They are your enemies, kill - kill, kill, blood - that's what we want! We want blood! '
He closed his bloodshot eyes and controlled his breathing, trying to suppress his other bloodthirst from coming out. Having once worked under an old ' boss ' Lin Yu had seen and learned a lot of things - it was just too bad that instead of learning the perverted style of the ' boss ', he learned the boss's ruthlessness. A woman's moans didn't calm him down but someone's blood did.
"Let's go " agreed Lin Chen, Lin Chen knew all about the small fiasco that happened in Lin Yu's life when he was fourteen and therefore he understood it more clearly than anyone else that his fourth brother was like a ticking time bomb that might explode any second. If he dawdled then Lin Yu might seriously hurt someone either himself or one of their family members even if he didn't want to.
The two of them walked out of the door, Su Wan stared at their disappearing back and pondered over what happened just now with narrowed eyes. She knew that the two of them were angry and she understood it well enough, she wasn't going to judge them for being angry at things that were supposed to make one angry but what she couldn't understand was the way Lin Yu looked. Sure he wasn't the innocent white rabbit she thought he was but the way he stared at Old Grandma Lin and Madam Zhang was not how a normal ' angry ' person would look at someone who pissed them off, his expression was much more sinister and cruel. Like he just didn't want to ' hurt ' them but instead, he looked like he wanted to ' kill '.
So there was only one conclusion to all of this , Lin Yu wasn't just hiding a little something from her , he was hiding a lot from her .. Something that might challenge their relationship and this was seriously disabling her .

Chapter 237 - Two Taels For A Honey Pot ?
Name：Shrewd wife of Lin brothers Author：fairytail72
Madam Zhang and Old madam Lin didn't know that they have unleashed the beasts that they shouldn't have, instead they all returned back home. That night no one in the Lin family slept, all of them rolled around in their bed because of hunger aches, they were used to eating three meals a day and now that they were actually forced to miss two meals consecutively neither of them could bear it.
The Old Lin family rolled in their beds because of hunger yet no one dared to even think about spending the silver taels that they have set aside for Lin Che's academy fees, in their eyes this much suffering was worth it. As long as they sacrificed their comforts their son/ grandson would be able to bring glory to them.
The Old Lin family had a hard time, they kept lying on their beds with clenched teeth all the while suffering from hunger pangs, all because of Lin Che - upon whom they all were placing all their hopes.
But they didn't know that their precious, their family's beacon of hope Lin Che was currently groping the number one escort of the town.
Chuchu who was lying on the bed looked at the fat face of the man who was laughing with glee as he groped her breasts. Her eyes flashed with disgust every time, Lin Che touched her. If this was before, she wouldn't have even bothered glancing at this fatty but because of the floods and the rising prices of the grains, she has lost a considerable amount of her customers.
The young masters and lords whom she entertained every night stopped coming to the brothel. Even if she was a prostitute, she was still human - she needed to earn money or else the boss lady of the brothel won't let her eat even a single meal!
In the current situation, even the young masters were barred from philandering around by their family and the lords whom she served were scheming foxes, in such a situation they wouldn't waste money on her - a measly prostitute.
So, Chuchu who once used to look at these poor brats who loved to show off as rich lads had to bow her head and accept this ugly freak's request to entertain him .
She glanced down at Lin Che's face and immediately felt a wave of nausea washing over her. Not only was Lin Che ugly with loads of acne splashed on his face, with numerous pimples - he didn't even have the slightest bit of ' delicacy ' and ' class ' in his actions - unlike the young masters that she served he was actually salivating over her body like a dog salivating over meat! Chuchu suppressed the bile that was rising in her throat as she felt something wet and slippery drip on her stomach - endure, she needed to endure!
This brat was going to give her two silver taels once the deed was done, in such a situation two taels was a lot of money! And with no customers coming to the brothel she needed to endure it until the situation establishes itself a little.
However, when her gaze drifted to Lin Che's face and fell on his many rolls of fat that were jingling as his eyes roamed all over her body like he wanted to eat her - Chuchu couldn't withstand it.
She was the number one escort of this town! Why did she have to entertain such a lousy fat ass? It wasn't as if she hasn't entertained any young master or lords that were fat but they were not this disgusting. The way Lin Che was acting was as if she was a piece of meat and he was a starving beggar, so disgusting!
Lin Che didn't know that he was actually being disdained by the prostitute he hired for two taels that his family saved so painstakingly. Instead, all his attention was focused on Chuchu 's white and tender skin. He had been eyeing Chuchu ever since he came to the town but even though Chuchu was an escort she was prideful and arrogant she only chose to serve those young masters who were either good looking or rich and Lin Che wasn't either.
Thus, he could only salivate over Chuchu 's beautiful face and voluptuous figure from afar but couldn't touch her, or more like she wouldn't let him touch her. He too had no intention of coming to the brothel tonight after all he also knew about the troublesome situation outside but for some unknown reasons he started feeling hot and bothered after he finished dining with his classmates. Lin Che was drunk beyond his bearings and didn't know what was happening, all he understood was that after eating his lower body was burning with passion and his little brother refused to calm down. He tried to help himself but nothing worked, instead, the fire in his body burned even more - in the end, Lin Che had no choice but to come to the brothel to ease his itch.
Originally he thought that he would just select some lousy escort who was cheap, as long as his itch was calmed down he wouldn't care about her figure or face - after all, he only needed his release and nothing more, as long as he could stick his thing inside who cares about whether the woman was beautiful or ugly? Not to mention he was pissed drunk, he was long past his senses where he would have cared about looks.
But who would have known that the second he walked inside the brothel, he heard the boss lady announcing that Chuchu, the woman he has been admiring for so long was actually accepting customers for two taels only! And the offer was only valid till midnight!
Lin Che, who was thinking about saving his money felt all his reasoning being thrown in the back of his head, Chuchu - the most beautiful escort of the town, the one he had been eyeing for so long was actually accepting customers for two taels only? How could he let go of such an opportunity!
Thus, even though he only had two taels and some four hundred copper coins in his pocket he still gave it all away so that he could have Chuchu under him!
And now that the number one escort was pressed under him, Lin Che couldn't hide his glee even if he wanted to - 'see this, a bitch was always a bitch! ' He couldn't help but sneer inwardly as he kneaded Chuchu 's voluminous breasts, ' didn't this slut actually looked down at me now wasn't she serving him with open arms? Heh! Just wait until he clears the official exams then he would make this bitch his pet !'

Chapter 238 - [Bonus ]hit , Hit , Hit .. Hit The Fatal Point !
Name：Shrewd wife of Lin brothers Author：fairytail72
Lin Che was feeling rather smug and not once did he think about how his family would cope with the loss of those two silver taels that he gave away for just a night of pleasure. Instead, he completely focused his attention on feasting upon Chuchu 's body, completely forgetting about the sufferings of his family who were currently rolling in their bed with hunger.
He gulped his saliva before leaning down, he sucked on Chuchu's voluminous breasts until his cheeks hollowed and his wet saliva trickled down Chuchu 's white skin. Chuchu felt Lin Che's tongue licking and flicking her hardened bean and cursed inwardly, Lin Che's actions were just like a novice. Except biting and licking he couldn't do anything else, nor did he know how much force he should be applying when biting on a woman's breasts, Chuchu didn't know whether to scream in pain or slap Lin Che unconscious.
Her entire right breast felt like it was being gnawed by a flesh-eating monster. And what was with this suction force? Was he trying to extract milk from her?
Chuchu felt like she was dying, she tightly clenched her fists and just kept still all the while uttering a fake moan. Even if she wasn't enjoying this, she needed to fake it for the sake of those two taels.
Lin Che didn't know that Chuchu was faking it, he thought his actions were indeed pleasurable with Lin Ze as his father, it goes without saying that he too had a lot of pride and arrogance in his bones. Though he was poor and ugly, Lin Che didn't believe himself to be one instead he believed that he was quite good looking and he was overconfident in whatever he did, thus he didn't even doubt Chuchu for a second.
Instead, he felt as if his male ego was being satisfied, he immediately let go of Chuchu's breasts and went down to her honey pot. Luckily, Chuchu 's body was used to ejaculating her sweet nectar every time it came in touch with warm and rough touches. Thus, even with Lin Che's novice like actions - Chuchu 's feminine core was still drenched enough to stroke his male ego.
Lin Che caught the glimpse of Chuchu 's wet petals and immediately felt satisfied, he thought that whatever he was doing was good and continued on with his licking and biting. Soon, Chuchu 's delicate pink petals turned swollen and red, as drops of blood dripped down her thighs before splattering on the bedsheet.
Chuchu who felt her core throb with pain instead of pleasure cursed Lin Che and his eighteenth generations. If she wasn't in a lurch she wouldn't have let this stupid, ugly freak touch her at all! Look at his ruthless actions, was he even human? He was more like a dog! Not just any dog but a mad dog.
Chuchu gritted her teeth and didn't even bother looking at Lin Che she kept staring at the ceiling, she was afraid that if she took another glance at the ugly freak she might slap him until he died!
Lin Che naturally didn't take any issue with Chuchu's feminine part bleeding. In his eyes, an escort was a toy that a man hired for a night, so what if the toy broke? Didn't he pay for it already?
Having been raised in the old Lin family, Lin Che was just as selfish and ruthless, as his parents and grandmother. So, he didn't even care about Chuchu 's injuries that were caused by his bites and immediately moved on to the final stage. Chuchu who was lying on the bed felt something the size of a finger sticking inside her and continued with her fake moans. She had already seen Lin Che's tiny thing, with that tiny sausage forget about bringing her to an orgasm, she couldn't even feel a thing.
Lin Che wasn't a mind reader and didn't know that his tiny little brother was being disdained at, instead, he continued with his ' forceful' thrusts. However, Lin Che was too fat and he never did any strenuous exercises, thus it didn't even take two minutes for him to come inside Chuchu.
Chuchu who was lying on the bed, have already begun questioning her life and when she felt something warm and gooey trickling down her thighs, she was speechless- only a minute and a half passed right? And this guy, already? And Didn't he hire her for two hours?
Chuchu was dumbstruck for the first time in her career as an escort, so did she have to fake moan for the next two hours? Really?
Just kill her now.
-
" why isn't he ou..out?" Lin Yu who standing in the alley next to the brothel felt irritation bubbling in his heart. His hands were already itching to beat someone to death yet this guy was taking his own sweet time? Did he really want to die or something?
" He has booked that prostitute for two hours " answered Lin Chen, he had his arms crossed behind his head as he looked up at the room where Lin Che was supposed to be having fun " with his pettiness do you think he will let go of that escort before two hours are up ?"
" With his physique ?" scoffed Lin Yu disdainfully "forget about using the entire two hours, it wouldn't be so..surprising if he fainted because of overexerting himself "
" Alright, calm down. We have al..already wasted enough time, a few minutes won't matter " said Lin Chen as he rubbed the goosebumps in his arms, honestly he didn't want to even imagine the image of Lin Che overexerting himself, alright. It was too disgusting!
" If not for you, we w..would have already gone back! What's with you going all the way around ?" Snapped Lin Yu, his beautiful face decorated with a frown " why did you have to waste so much money by br...bribing the waiter in that restaurant and that boss lady in the brothel ?"
" use your brain, Ah Yu, " said Lin Chen looking at his fifth brother with an aura of someone explaining a child that two plus two was equal to four " that old hag and that fatso aunt of ours came to find trouble with us if something happened to Lin Che right after that happened- they would simply pin the blame on us. But if something happened to Lin Che in such a roundabout way, even if they came to find trouble with us we will have evidence to prove that we weren't linked with his incident at all. It's not like we were the ones who forced him to spend his family's hard-snatched money on a measly escort? Nor did we ask him to spend so lavishly at the diner? So how can they pin it on us? "
Lin Yu looked at his third brother in surprise, he was a little glad that he was his third brother's little brother because it seems like his third brother wasn't as stupid as he thought instead it looks like he had great talents to become a strategist. They both knew that their grandmother would rather get beaten to death than let the money in her hands be spent wastefully, his third brother actually attacked the old Lin family's fatal point!
But before Lin Yu could say anything, the two of them caught sight of Lin Che who was coming out of the brothel, humming a jolly tune.
" Wait here, " said Lin Chen before taking the sack from Lin Yu's hands, before coming here the two of them have changed into their old clothes and dirtied their face with mud and grime, with their current appearance forget about Lin Che even their mother wouldn't recognise them.
Lin Che who was walking on the street merrily didn't know what happening behind him nor did he know that he was actually schemed against and that too rather badly but all of a sudden his face was covered and the second darkness covered his eyes, he felt punches raining down on him. Lin Che might act like a tyrant at home but he was a scaredy-cat outside, thus instead of protecting his money, he started protecting his head.
Lin Chen saw this and immediately kicked Lin Che a few times before snatching the remaining four hundred copper coins from Lin Che's pocket and vanished inside the crowd of refugees.
Lin Che who was cowering on the road finally realised what happened, he immediately patted his pocket where he kept his money and howled " my money! My money the refugees stole my money! Help! Help someone Help! Officers !" Because he was beaten Lin Che didn't dare to run after the refugee who stole his money instead he rushed to get the officers, because Lin Chen had not held himself back, Lin Che's entire body was aching and by the time he reached the checkpoint where the soldiers were, Lin Yu and Lin Che had already changed their clothes and left the town.

Chapter 239 - Sly Fox

" what are you going to do with this pouch ?" said Lin Chen, he didn't know why but the second he snatched the money pouch from Lin Che, and returned to his fifth brother, the latter took away the pouch from his hands just a second later he finished counting the money.
" What do you t..think ?" arching an eyebrow Lin Yu answered, seeing him act like this Lin Chen felt a chill spread down his spine whatever, his fifth brother was planning it wasn't anything good.
" Hey? Hey! Hey! Hey !!!!" just as this thought crossed Lin Chen's mind, he caught sight of Lin Yu raising his arm high and throwing away the pouch in hand like he was playing catch. The pouch was sent flying towards a group of refugees, who caught it at once - and the next scene that followed, Lin Chen didn't even want to think about it anymore. It was as if someone had thrown a chunky piece of meat in a pond full of piranhas- all the refugees pounced on that pitiful cloth pouch and torn it up within seconds, the measly sum of four hundred copper coins vanished so fast that Lin Chen couldn't even blink before it happened.
That was their four hundred copper coins, the coins for which he and his brothers worked so hard for, and they were looted just like that?
" Why did you that ?" Lin Chen couldn't help but snap, even though their earnings were stable, his heart still ached for those four hundred copper coins - in the past, it was such a big amount for them! How could Lin Yu throw the money away just like that?
Lin Yu looked at his third brother's enraged expression and casually shrugged " what? Didn't you say that we need not leave any evidence behind? With this Lin Che won't have any evidence to implicate us "
" But that was four hundred copper coins !" insisted Lin Chen
" Says the one who spent four taels on bribing the boss lady and the waiter " retorted Lin Yu
That made Lin Chen shut up, alright whatever - you were the boss who was he? Just a measly underling? He couldn't help but sulk inwardly. Yeah, it was him who bribed those two but when he told this plan to Lin Yu, he didn't hear the latter rejecting him? But now that the matter was done and over with, he was the one who was forced to carry this black pot alone?
" Let's go and get changed, what are you waiting for? Are you waiting for Lin Che to bring those officers and apprehend us ?" Lin Yu didn't bother about his brother's sulkiness, he now had a complete understanding of his third brother. If he was a scheming fox then his brother was of the same category as a sly fox, he would be a fool to believe that even half of the emotions that he was displaying were his true emotions.
Lin Chen rolled his eyes but didn't say anything, he followed behind Lin Yu and the two of them changed their clothes and cleaned up their messed up appearance. With their resplendent and attractive appearance, no one would be able to link them to the two refugees who ' stole ' from Lin Che.
The two brothers swiftly and sneakily mingled in the crowd that was leaving the town gate. No sooner have they walked out of the town, Lin Che came running followed by two officers.
" I'm telling the truth officers, some refugees stole my money from me . " said Lin Che as he wiped his sweat that was trickling down his face with his sleeves " officers, you really need to help me. That money pouch held two taels and four hundred copper coins, it was my monthly allowance. I'm afraid that if I couldn't get the money back then my family would have to kill themselves to make up for this loss, wu, officers My family is already so poor and my father have hurt his legs, I'm really scared, wuwuwu "
Lin Che was truly the spawn of the old Lin family, even though he was beaten so badly that his hazy mind have sobered up. He was still insistent about scheming, he was afraid that if he asked for money from his family after being robbed then he would have to naturally tell his father and grandmother that he was robbed off - but if he told them that he only had four hundred copper coins in the pouch then he might have to cough up the truth regarding what happened to the ' three taels ' that his grandmother sent him at the beginning of the month.
But he wasn't willing to tell ' the truth ' to his family. After all, he was still an innocent baby in the eyes of his grandmother and mother - if they came to know, all his efforts that he spent in creating that innocent, yet a hard-working young child of his would go down the drain, not to mention even his image at the academy will be affected. So, even though Lin Che knew he was taking a really big risk by lying to the officers, he still gritted his teeth and acted according to the situation. He lied to the officers by telling them that he lost two taels, if his family got to know about this matter he could just tell them that he was robbed and if the officers couldn't find the money, then hehe - after the situation was stabilised, the officials will still have to pay for his damage, right?
After all, it's all because of their incapability and lack of management that caused his suffering right?
The officers who were dragged to the refugees camp felt their temple throb, the incidents of refugees stealing from common people were increasing day by day. They knew that as the person in charge they need to give a proper explanation to the victims but all the victims that they faced were more and more unreasonable than the others. They watched as Lin Che put on his ' white lotus bullied really badly ' performance and sighed in their hearts why were they the ones who have to take off these unreasonable people?
"Young man, calm down, " said an officer, as he patted Lin Che on his shoulder " We have heard your complaint and we will definitely work on it, just leave it to us "
Lin Che's plan was flawless but it was only flawless in his mind, in reality, it was completely full of loopholes. These officers that he brought with him, were just servants of the high ranking officials and even if the Emperor passed on the order that every single victim of the disaster would be repaid, but after going through all the corruption what will be left of the financial help? will those corrupt officials leave anything for the common people?
Thus, even if Lin Che thought that he would get his two taels back - the only thing he will receive in the future would be ' a dozen dusty copper coins ' nothing else. Of course, this was something that will happen in the future .

Chapter 240 - [Bonus ]
Name：Shrewd wife of Lin brothers Author：fairytail72
The two officers glanced at each other furtively and came to an understanding, they would just coax this stupid boy for now and then, hehe - they were soldiers from the capital. With his foolishness will this child even have the opportunity to ever enter the capital? If this boy couldn't even meet with them then from where will he get the money? Humph , once they leave this place - there was no need for them to act politely with anyone .
The soldiers were more insightful than anyone else, not to mention they were from the capital they could easily see that Lin Che was just trying to fool them - though they knew that the part where he told them that he was robbed of his money was true, they could also grasp that Lin Che lied to them regarding the amount. So even though they wrote down Lin Che's name and address and went through every single formality, they didn't write the amount that Lin Che was ' robbed ' off, no one understood the corruption of officials better than them, they knew that even if they wrote two taels most probably one ten cents would reach the scammers who were trying to scam the officials.
Hah! The commoners actually dared to scam the officials but in terms of scamming, the officials were their ' daddy '.
The soldiers sent away Lin Che with a polite smile all the while mocking him in their hearts.
Lin Che didn't know that he was being mocked instead he was even feeling smug about the current situation. He believed that he succeeded in fooling the soldiers with his wonderful ' acting ', so he continued to hum as he limped towards his academy. He still needed to ' borrow ' some money from his dormitory mates to treat his injuries.
However, just as he was walking away from the refugees camp - a shiny red cloth caught his attention. Lin Che hurriedly limped towards the shiny red cloth and felt his heart shudder, it was his pouch! Or more like it was a piece torn from his pouch.
Lin Che could recognise this cloth material even with closed eyes, this pouch was sewed by his grandmother on his eighteenth birthday. It was believed that as long as an elder ' gifted ' something made of red cloth to their child on his coming of age ceremony, the child would be safe and successful all his life.
His grandmother believed that sewing a money pouch with red cloth would not only bring safety and prosperity to him but also immeasurable wealth. That was why she thought of gifting him this red pouch at his coming of age ceremony.
Lin Che stared at the torn piece of his money pouch then looked up at the group of refugees who were happily munching on meat dumplings. And where did they get the money to eat M.E.A.T D.U.M.P.L.I.N.G ? It goes without saying that it came from his pouch! That was his money! They were eating his money!
Lin Che was furious as he watched the group of refugees gobbling down the piping hot meat dumplings. He felt his heart itch as he heard the ' Gulu Gulu ' sound of swallowing, meat - they were actually eating meat? Even he didn't dare to eat meat!
The more Lin Che looked at them, the more of an eyesore they become and when they took out another batch of meat dumplings, Lin Che lost all his rationality and completely forgot about the ' money ' that he might receive later on. Instead, he lunged on the group of refugees like a hero avenging himself - only to be beaten like a weakling.
"Pei! Where did this ugly freak come from ?" spat a refugee as he rubbed his wrist, he was really unhappy that he was interrupted while eating such delicious dumplings. It was such a lucky day they actually received a pie from the sky, yet their good mood was ruined by this fatty!
" Who knows " snorted another refugee as he picked up the bag of dumplings " let's get out of here, I don't know whether this freak is still alive or not, Elder Wu - I already told you to go easy on him but you actually broke his leg and even crippled his hand - if someone sees us here, they might ask us to pay for this brat's medical fee "
" who dare to ask money from me? Do they want to be chopped to pieces ?" sneered Elder Wu but then he looked at Lin Che 's ' crooked ' body and his eyes spun - maybe he should get out of here " fine, let's go. I don't want to be troubled "
Then the group of refugees left the unconscious Lin Che right in the middle of the road, on a winter night :)

" Mother, is Ah Yu gone ?" Su Wan had actually waited for an entire night for Lin Chen and Lin Yu's return. But somewhere around four in the morning, she dozed off, when she woke up Lin Chen and Lin Yu were gone, and she couldn't find them. She tried to look for them in their rooms but for some reason, those two brats learned to lock their room in their absence - thus Su Wan couldn't get inside their rooms.
" Yea he has already left for the town " answered Mother Lin as she straightened up after feeding the chicks, " he said that the day of opening the shop is coming closer and he wanted to add some finishing touches to his designs "
" Oh " Su Wan heard Mother Lin's response and felt even more confused. She didn't know why she couldn't figure out Lin Yu no matter how hard she tried to think about a plausible explanation for his behaviour. But the more she thought the more of a puzzle Lin Yu became, did he suffer something similar to Lin Yan? Was he schemed against like pitiful cannon fodder? Unlike the four brothers, her intuition couldn't grasp a proper reason for Lin Yu's condition. It was her first where her intuition wasn't helping her last night's incident fried her brains or maybe the need to have her husband was too great for her to pick on something else.
She was frustrated with Lin Yu and had a lot of questions but even more irksome was that Lin Yu who was begging her last night was actually ignoring her existence. Of course, she knew that Lin Yu had an inkling that she was suspicious of him yet he wasn't appearing nervous or anxious at all. He had gone through his daily routine with ease and he was showing no signs to let her inside his world or to give her a proper explanation either.
Lin Yu, Lin Jing, Lin Yan, Lin Rui, Lin Chen - which husband should be given the first night? Leave your response in the comments because It's time .
