Chapter 271 - Look Where Her Love Brought Her
Name：Shrewd wife of Lin brothers Author：fairytail72
" are you alright?" the lady sitting opposite to the man in the carriage asked. The lady's dark, lively eyes coated with worry as she looked at her husband. They have been on road for more than two weeks and it would take another three weeks for them to reach their hometown from the capital if her husband caught a chill then it will be twice as troublesome for her. In the middle of the road, where will she bring a physician to check up on her husband?
"I am alright " waving his hand the tall and muscular man smiled at his wife with an indulging expression, which didn't suit his dark and fierce face at all, and when he smiled at his wife, the scar on his eyes made him look even more fierce than before if anyone other than madam Zhu was sitting in front of him, the person might have ended up crying - only God knows how many times their sons cried when they were little kids all because their father smiled at them.
This man was none other than Su Wan's eldest maternal uncle Shen Junxi, who owned quite a several numbers of butcheries in the town.
Shen Junxi, who had gone to the capital with his brother to check whether or not the capital had a suitable market for him to open another branch of his Xian Rou butchery, was finally done checking the capital storefronts and was on his way to return to his hometown.
His younger siblings still had some matter to deal with this, they stayed back. Actually, Eldest Uncle Shen also wanted to stay behind with his two brothers because it wasn't easy for him to get a break from managing his butcheries, but for some reaso, his heart has been unsettled for the past two months. He couldn't help but feel like he was losing something important - and worse of all, he was dreaming of his sister and his niece.
In his dreams, the two of them were waiting for him on the other side of the river. Shen Shui, her he could understand but Su Wan? that little girl ...how can she be there! Eldest Uncle Shen was totally freaked out by his own dreams and despite his brothers trying to bring him to other storefronts he resolutely refused and boarded his carriage to return to Dong Tong town.
He had left some of his men behind if something happened to Su Wan then the benefactor from the ' Zhou' village would definitely tell his men about such a big thing - he believed in his men and the benefactor whom he left behind to take care of Su Wan, he knew in his mind that everything must be fine but - his heart, it wouldn't just settle down! Thus, to make sure that everything was alright and his niece was fine, Eldest Uncle Shen decided to go and check it out by himself.
" Are you really alright? " asked Madam Zhu again, her brows were scrunched up as she examined her husband's complexion " if you are not feeling alright then you should speak up who knows what will happen if you keep it to yourself. The weather is already so cold if you have caught a chill then it's better to get it treated rather than leaving it just like that. Don't think that just because you are sturdy and strong you won't get sick, such carelessness is the foundation of lingering long term sickness. And you are no longer that young old man if you are not feeling well then you need to get your cold treated"
" Who's an old man?" demanded Eldest Uncle Shen" believe it not, this old man is still hale and hearty enough to make you scream my name right here, right now"
"You old pervert! " Madam Zhu blushed and hurriedly darted a glance at the carriage door when she saw that no one listened to her husband's boastful claims she slapped Eldest Uncle Shen on his shoulder " I'm worried that you will catch a cold and you... You are really.. our sons are riding in the carriage right behind ours, speak properly"
"Humph, they are already at their marriageable age what do they not know? " snorted Eldest Uncle Shen unhappily, after being scolded by his wife " and I was speaking properly alright? You were the one who called me an old man. Don't you know that calling a man old is a taboo? You should never ever call a man old "
"An Oldman is an old man what's there to -...- alright, alright you are not old " Though Madam Zhu liked teasing her husband every then and now, she knew her limit. Seeing that her husband's expression was worsening, she hurriedly changed her words worried that her coochie will be messed up by this old man in his old age "anyway, are you really going to check up on Wan Wan? If you are then remember to check up on her properly this time. Don't just stalk her like a lecherous pervert this time or else I won't clear it up for you "
The last time when Oldest Uncle Shen went to check up on Su Wan was when she was ten, because of some ' unfortunate misunderstandings' Oldest Uncle Shen didn't look for Su Wan outright instead he stalked her like a pervy leech from behind the trees. And if stalking his niece wasn't bad enough, he was caught by the villagers and chased down by them. Luckily, Madam Zhu came to the Dong Tong town with him and explained to the villagers that Oldest Uncle Shen meant no harm.
" It's not my fault! That damn stupid girl was the one who refused to accept me as her uncle, she is just like her stupid mother not understanding who is wrong and who is right for her. At that time when that idiotic woman stubbornly insisted on marrying that bastard didn't I refuse? Did she listen to me? No! ' Big brother he loves me ', ' big brother we are in love, he is good to me, ' blah, blah, blah. Look where her love brought her " said Oldest Uncle Shen bitterly, his expression full of grieve and sorrow "if only she listened to me and married that heir of the Xu family instead, she would have lived like a Queen instead of becoming worm food beneath six feet down "
" I understand how you feel but you are in the wrong too, if you remained by her side instead of breaking off your relations with her. That Su - bastard wouldn't have dared to treat your sister so badly like that " Madam Zhu wanted to call Su Bai by his name but under her husband's glare she changed it back to bastard.. Of course, the name Su Bai was taboo to in the Shen family even her mother in law cursed the Su family from morning to night by calling them bastards.

"break off relations? When did I break off my relationship with her? I was just angry if only that stubborn girl sent me a letter and told me how bad her days were in the Su family then I would -" the anger in Shen Junxi's eyes vanished and his eyes slowly turned dim. Honestly, other than him no one else felt more guiltier than him. He knew that Su Bai wasn't a good man but against his sister, he couldn't stand up for long and let her do what she wanted.
He had doted on his youngest sister the most and couldn't be hard-hearted towards her. The only one time he decided to be hard-hearted towards his sister, to teach her a lesson actually brought the news of her death to him.
He was waiting for his sister to send word, to let go of stubbornness and admit her wrong. If she sent a word, only just one letter - Shen Junxi would have made Su Bai divorce her then and there and married her off to some wealthy heir or merchant to teach Su Bai a lesson worthy enough to be remembered by his seven generations.
He thought his plan was perfect but he made a mistake.
He forgot how stubborn his sister was, she would rather succumb to death than admit that she was in the wrong by choosing a dead rat like Su Bai.
Madam Zhu sighed, the mirth in her smile vanished and she mildly spoke " I know you blame yourself and you have been blaming yourself for years but blaming yourself won't change anything. Instead of hiding behind the scene and sending clothes and snacks to Wan Wan through your benefactor. You should go and talk it out with her again, I believe this time it will go well "
" How do you know that? " asked Oldest Uncle Shen as he sneered and spoke drily "that ungrateful girl called me a bad man and even hit me and her other two uncles on the shin before running away, didn't I go to her house to bring her away from those blood-sucking leeches? Instead of being grateful she actually called me ' ugly bad man ' and ran away, ugly bad man... Me, her biological uncle! From which angle do so look like a bad man? I agree that I might not be a good looking as that ratass bastard but my heart is of gold! Pure hundred per cent gold! And she called me Bad mad, humph, all those good things that I sent for her to eat went in the stomach of a white-eyed wolf! I'm telling you "
Madam Zhu stared at her husband dumbfoundedly and remembered the time when her husband and her brothers-in-law went to Zhou village to bring Su Wan after Shen Shui's death. If didn't remember it wrongly, her husband and her brothers in law, tried to cajole Su Wan to come with them by bribing her with sweets and snacks, and if her memory served her right, her husband and his brothers's expressions did correspond to the expression of human traffickers disguised as good men.
Thus, she immediately and without wasting a second answered her husband's query " my dear, I'm sorry to tell you this but when you were trying to coax Wan Wan, you - uh, you did look like a bad man. But this happened so many years ago, right why are you harping on it even now? I know your pride got hurt back then after getting rejected by your cute niece. But Wan Wan was only six years old back then compared to then, she will definitely be willing to listen to you, after all, she must be all grow by now. " said Madam Zhu hurriedly, she knew that her husband had a knot in his heart because of what his sister did to him, he was a prideful man actually everyone in the Shen family was prideful, it was like their own fatal flaw which was why their family became like this. Getting rejected and still going to that place where they were disrespected wasn't something the Shen brothers know, even if they were rejected by a six-year-old - that was what she told herself.
But in her heart, she knew that her husband and her brothers in law were quite a daughter maniacs but unfortunately for them, their wives let them down and only gave birth to sons, so the Shen family had several sons but no daughter.
This was why her husband and his brothers wanted to dote on Su Wan but they were rejected by her and got heartbroken. After that they were afraid that they will scare Su Wan, their little niece so they started sending snacks and clothes to the Su family by a third person who was good looking unlike them instead of going there by themselves.
"And, maybe it was her childish willfulness to be loved by her father. " added Madam Zhu lightly, her expression softening by thirty degrees as she thought about her cute niece " as a child everyone wants to be loved by their parents no matter what kind of parent they have, Wan Wan, must have craved for that love too that's why she refused to come with you. You should try again dear, I'm sure that the Su bastard must have disappointed her by now. After all, you wouldn't want history to repeat itself right? How long are you going to trust that third person you hired, he might have been your benefactor then but peoples emotions changes through time, I'm afraid if that benefactor turned around to bite your hand then it might already be too late for you to recover what you once lost "
At that time if Madam Zhu knew that her carelessly said words would become true she would have slapped her face - but her sixth sense was correct, not only that benefactor turned against them he turned to bad that they already lost their niece now the only thing that was left behind was a mere shell with another soul residing in it.
It was already too late - unfortunately, this secret they will never come to know and even if they did, there would be nothing they could do.
---
" Wan Wan, good morning "
Su Wan always dreamed of getting a bouquet of roses when she woke up. It was a romantic dream that every girl once dreamed off, but when that one bouquet became bouquets and the roses became a multitude of flowers, with their sweet scent mixed in together so wonderfully that it almost choked someone to death by how strong they smelled - the dream became a nightmare.
And she woke up to this nightmare, unfortunately - looking at the sea of flowers behind her husbands, she was speechless, it wasn't that she had no questions about what they were doing and how did they get these flowers on such a cold snowy day, it was just that - she has so many questions she didn't know where to begin.
" what are you doing!?" In the end, Su Wan could only blurt out this one question, did they rip off the entire flower valley or something or did they - her eyes widened and she hurried to her flower garden.
Thankfully, all her flowers were alright except a few.
" Don't worry we will never touch your garden, Wan Wan" said Lin Chen " as for what we are doing, ?" lowering his head to gently look at Su Wan, he held her hands " we are here to beg for your forgiveness, of course, we don't deserve it but we would like to earn it. "
' earn it? How by choking her on such a strong scent? ' Su Wan couldn't help by wonder about her husbands' talent in pursuing and coaxing a woman inwardly.
These fucking virgins! Her life was ruined by marrying them! Is this how you ask for forgiveness? Huh? She nearly died because of the scent wafting off from their sea of flowers!! They didn't know how to drive and she taught them - now did she need to give them lessons on how to coax their wife too? why was her life so hard! To think these inexperienced virgins would have such proud expressions by pulling such an idiotic stunt.
Seriously! Gah! At least they had good looking faces to fill the holes in their heads, or else she would have died of anger.

Chapter 273 - Surprise ?
Name：Shrewd wife of Lin brothers Author：fairytail72
" Wan Wan was the surprise good? " Lin Chen whose experience with women was only enough to fill a tablespoon, didn't realise the grave danger he and his brothers were in and instead poured an entire vat of kerosene oil in the already burning fire.
Su Wan stared at him, and slowly scanned her husbands, a little confused and curious... Were they really trying to make up with her or were they trying to take revenge on her for every time she teased them? If she didn't know them better she would have thought they were trying to shatter the already broken jar - completely.
However, seeing their earnest expressions her eyes twitched. They were serious and not pulling her leg at all, which made things difficult if they were trying to tease her she could have taught them a good lesson by whopping their asses but if they innocently brought these flowers to cheer her up, she couldn't do anything to them! Just look at those puppy faces begging for praise, how could she chase them with a broom? If she does wouldn't it become a sin?
Su Wan took a deep breath to calm herself then clasped Lin Chen's wrist and him with her. Lin Chen didn't realize that something was wrong, instead, he simply thought that the idea Feng Zhai told him actually worked.
He shot his brothers a victorious look as he followed after Su Wan.
Lin Yu who was left behind along with his brothers was a little surprised because when Lin Chen told him this idea he was a bit sceptical about it, he never once believed that the idea might work. Because it sounded completely stupid, so why did he follow along with Lin Chen's antics? It was just in case if Su Wan really forgive them, then he didn't want to be the only one left alone without forgiveness. And he was certain that if he was the only one without an apology his third brother wouldn't help him either, and honestly, he knew how to flirt but he wasn't romantic enough to know how to coax a woman.
What a wonderful thing -.-, he was married and has a wife too but he didn't know how to coax her when she got upset with him. Truthfully, he was at fault but not as much as his eldest brother who remained silent while Lin Yi found trouble with Wan Wan if only his eldest brother didn't do that - then the matter wouldn't have taken such a serious turn. How upsetting.
This time he was dragged down by his own sister and brothers. He couldn't even do anything to his brothers.
"Wan Wan, you really l..liked it ?" even though Lin Yu believed that the idea was surely to fail, seeing Su Wan clasp on to his third brother's wrist so 'lovingly', he couldn't help but ask.
Su Wan ignored him and kept dragging Lin Chen to her room and his doom, once they reached her room. Su Wan pushed Lin Chen inside her room that was filled with flowers to the brim and closed the doors once Lin Chen got inside.
Lin Chen:????
Lin Chen:?!!!
Lin Chen:!!!!!!!!
Within five minutes, Lin Chen started pounding on the door, screaming at Su Wan to open the door and let him out. Though the window of Su Wan's room was open, it was too small for him, with his mountainous built he wouldn't be able to get out of there, only someone like Lin Yu, Lin Rui and Lin Yan with their slender built will be able to slide in and out of the room....just like they slid inside the room this morning to bring these bouquets inside.
Su Wan kept standing outside the door without moving, even though she could hear Lin Chen's dramatic screaming as if he was choking on poisonous gas rather than the strong scent coming from the flowers.
" Wan Wan! Wan Wan ! open the door wife, I promise I won't do it again. Open the door, I feel...I feel I'm going to faint if I stayed inside this room anymore...argh I can't even breathe, the scent oh my God the scent is too strong whose stupid idea was this? "
Lin Yu and the others : "..." Yours you fool!
' What a drama queen? ' Su Wan rolled her eyes at his antics but nonetheless opened the door. As soon as Su Wan opened the door, Lin Chen rushed outside and took a big gulp of the fresh air, after working with Su Wan at Zhimei for a few weeks, he became more or less of an expert in fragrances and now he could no longer withstand strongly scented things anymore - he was a lot pickier now that he knew about perfumes a little, this was why he reacted so strongly.
Su Wan watched him gulp mouthfuls of air and started walking towards him, once she was standing next to him, she asked with a smile " ne, Ah Chen did you like my little surprise? "
Lin Chen paused in his heavy breathing then turned to look at Su Wan solemnly " I'm really sorry, it was my fault. I will never repeat this mistake ever again "
How stupid of him when he set his idea in motion, he only thought about how good the scene would look to Su Wan when she woke up. He thought that she would look like a petite pixie in a flower valley but completely forgot about their scents getting mixed up.
Su Wan snorted then with a swift turn of her hips she walked away while she was walking past Lin Jing, she could sense his burning glare locked on her body. She raised an eyebrow and looked at him in the eye, she shuddered slightly under his hot gaze but then gave him a cool, polite and distant smile before turning around and walking away.
Yes, she was this petty. Though Lin Jing apologised and taught Lin Yi a good lesson, she wasn't going to forgive him just like that. Why? Because the lesson he taught to Lin Yi had more to do with her creating trouble for Lin Yan and Lin Chen than Lin Yi insulting her. Yeah, they stood up for her but it was too late...if she didn't give them good teaching now then they might start taking her for granted, and then what will she do? Who knows this time they let someone insult her - next time they might let it slide if someone brought another woman to be introduced to them if she didn't put a stop to this who knows next time she might have to call another woman sister - bah!
**********************
Chapter 274 - Shut Up For Me
Name：Shrewd wife of Lin brothers Author：fairytail72
Lin Jing pursed his lips at her aloofness, so she was so angry that she was starting to push him away. Lin Jing knew that he was at fault but he didn't like the fact that Su Wan was at least talking with his brothers but when it came to him, she didn't so much as utter a word. Lin Jing wished it didn't hurt as much as did but..it did, his heart was aching at her indifference. Su Wan's abrupt indifference was like a blow to him, and neither his heart nor he could withstand it.
Su Wan once used to sweetly call him Jing Ge, with her lips curved in a teasing smile, even her smallest smile shot straight to his groin but now it was twisting his gut - why? Because it was a smile that warned him to keep his distance from her.
Lin Jing had never felt this way before nor was he used to be treated like this by Su Wan.
What do you expect her to still smile and sweetly call you Jing Ge when you let your little sister insult her by bringing another woman to intentionally introduce her as your second wife?
Well yeah, he has gotten so used to seeing Su Wan being filial to his parents and treating his brothers with affection that he completely forgot her smashing feat on the day she got married to them or more like he started taking her as granted believing that she would take their family in consideration and treat everyone cordially. He took too much, didn't he? She gave him a warm home and he started asking for heaven.
" Third brother your idea was such a fail, " said Lin Rui as he watched Su Wan walk away from them without once looking back.
" I already said that it was ridiculous, filling Wan Wan's room with flowers, it sounded absurd no matter how we l..listen to it " chimed Lin Yu shooting a disdainful look at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen who on the receiving end of his contemptuous glares ended up exploding " at least I thought of something while you all acted like headless flies! If you disdain me so much Mr . Romantic then you think of some pretty idea that will make Wan Wan go ' oh my husbands' !! If you can I will kowtow to you and call you daddy! "
" I don't need you to call me daddy! " snapped Lin Yu, having his third brother call him daddy how weird will be that? If Wan Wan calls him then it might be smexy but Lin Chen -ugh, he will pass.
" Then you shut up for me !"
" Who are you to tell me to shut up?"
Lin Jing was conscious of the fight that was brewing next to him and he would occasionally glance in the direction of his third and fourth brothers who were exchanging verbal blows and glaring down at each other with fighting stance. If he wasn't so focused on Su Wan he might have stopped the fight for breaking but instead, all his attention was on solely focused on Su Wan who was acting aloof and indifferent towards him.
Su Wan didn't have time for worrying about Lin Jing's predicament, she wasn't a woman whose life revolved around her husband, even if she was in a cold war with her better halves she wouldn't treat herself unfairly. Thus, she left her fighting husband behind and took a bath to freshen up before heading to the kitchen to open fire.
Since she was treated unfairly yesterday she decided to cook something delicious to bring up her mood. Her father in law bought some mutton the day before yesterday but it was all cooked up by her because she wanted to give Qi Shuyan and his siblings some extra nourishment, the three little kids were really too thin.
If she knew that her mood would be ruined by Lin Yi then she would have left some mutton for herself because compared to fish and chicken she liked pork and mutton more. Alas, the mutton and pork at their house were finished and the weather was too cold for her to take the cart to the town and buy meat. In fact with this heavy snow, she doubted that Le Sheng would be driving his cart in this snowy weather.
Maybe she could cook something with fish again -umm, but what? She has more or less cooked every dish she knew that used fish in it, was it time for her to become innovative?
" Sister in law! " when Su Wan was thinking about what to cook, Qi Zhi came rushing in her direction, the little boy was running so fast that he toppled right into the snow once before jumping back up and continuing his pace. Because little Qi Zhi fell face first in the snow his entire front was dusted with white snow, making him look like a little old grandpa.
" what is it? Why are you running like that?" Su Wan, whose mood was a bit down cheered up instantly as she crouched down and wiped the snow that was sticking on Qi Zhi's face and cotton-padded jacket " don't fall in snow or you will get sick, alright? Your brother is still recovering don't cause trouble for him"
Just as Su Wan finished speaking Qi Shuyan and Qi Mei came running, the two must have been left behind by the eager Qi Zhi.
As soon as Qi Shuyan came he rushed forward and put on Qi Zhi's knitted hat on his head which the little guy forgot to wear" don't want to cover up, see how I will straighten you up if you fall sick or caught a cold "
" Elder brother, I will not catch a cold. Don't jinx me " pouted Qi Zhi aggrievedly then turning to look at Su Wan before his brother could say anything, little Qi Zhi spoke " sister in law, an older brother is standing outside he said that Auntie Fang sent him here and asked us to get you, I only came running to you because I didn't want to leave the older brother standing outside in the cold. Was I wrong ?"
"no, you were not wrong "though Su Wan was surprised upon knowing that Fang Xiaolin sent someone here, then she suddenly remembered that a few days ago Fang Xiaolin told her that her( Fang Xiaolin's) third brother would be coming to their town and he will be bringing pork to sell.
If she wasn't wrong then this elder brother who was standing outside must be Fang Xiaolin's third brother! How lucky she was just thinking about pork and pork coming flying to her.

Chapter 275 - Whats So Good About A Pretty Boy?
Name：Shrewd wife of Lin brothers Author：fairytail72
After bundling herself and the little kids, Su Wan walked to the entrance of their house. It was still early in the morning, if not for Lin Chen pulling the stunt of filling her room with those flowers she wouldn't have woken up so early. The golden glow of the sun still had its reddish glow, the cold winds from the sea breeze harshly pummeled against their skin making it turn blue from pale. At this time, the hard-working villagers of the Dong Tong village were up and about to their daily jobs braving against the snow piled up in their paths.
Even if the weather was cold enough to freeze someone to death, there was no such thing as staying home and bundling up on the Kang for the hard-working farmers, their fields were still waiting for them to come and rescue them from the freezing snow, the selfless fields has nurtured generations after generation of their family's farmers. And now it was time for the farmers to repay their gratitude by managing their fields properly.
" Hello, are you third brother Fang?" asked Su Wan once she reached the outer courtyard where a tall and thin figure was standing, the young man was still dressed in his spring clothes with only a flimsy cotton-padded jacket that did almost nothing against the cold winter winds. The young man's face was slightly flushed and because his complexion was paler than others, he looked like his entire face was on fire.
" Y-yes, I - I'm Fang Xiaolin's third brother, my - my name is Fang Kai" answered the young man, he wasn't stuttering because he was born with it but because he was just too cold. He had woken up at four to travel all the way to the Dong Tong village. Actually, he set off in just his clothes and nothing else, this thin cotton-padded jacket was given to him by his sister who couldn't see him trembling like a wet dog. However, Fang Xiaolin's family wasn't well off either and she could only give Fang Kai, her husband's old jackets to wear.
Thus, Fang Kai was still feeling cold despite having a jacket on his body, after all, it has snowed last night and a single layer of clothing couldn't protect him against the winter properly.
Su Wan watched him shiver and her heart couldn't help but sympathize with him. Fang Kai was two years younger than Fang Xiaolin who was eighteen that is to say he was only sixteen yet at the tender age of sixteen he has to wake up at four and travel for three hours in the snow to sell meat. It was really too hard for some people, alright .
" why don't you come inside?" asked Su Wan, seeing this young man who was so thin and malnourished that his cheeks were sunken with his jaw sharp enough to chop someone, Su Wan's old mommy heart couldn't help but melt. The boy was so cute looking and small, even though he was taller than her, Su Wan was certain that she could make him fall on his butt with just a single push.
" I-is it alright?" Fang Kai would have refused if possible but right now his pitiful condition didn't allow him to be picky. He was already seen shivering like a wet dog by her, so there was no need for him to shrink away from the kindness that she was providing him. Fang Kai, was a realistic individual, even though Su Wan looked stunning in her lotus cyan coloured fox fur robe, with three little kids sticking to her, he didn't dare to have any other thoughts regarding her.
After all, compared to her who lived in such a big house, had such good clothes to wear -he was like a dirty rat who crawled in front of her. Thus, Fang Kai only took some appreciating glances at Su Wan's delicately flushed face and nothing more. Was she someone he could randomly have ideas about? Of course not.
" what's wrong with it? You are my friend's brother so you are like my brother as well " said Su Wan as she ushered Fang Kai to follow her inside, then she thought about something for a while before blinking her big eyes and languidly laughed " however, I'm afraid that if I let you stay here, you might really become a frozen popsicle "
" Then thank you sister " Fang Kai good-naturedly thanked Su Wan before picking up his basket in which he brought the meat he wanted to sell and followed Su Wan inside. Now that the latter has consented he too wouldn't stand on ceremony.
Though Su Wan was from the modern world, she still knew how to act tactfully in the era she was currently living in, so instead of bringing Fang Kai to the kitchen or anywhere else with a closed off area, she brought him to the front hall which was closest to her parents-in-law's room. The front hall was still cold since mother Lin and father Lin didn't wake up yet, last night incident weighed on the minds of both elderly quite heavily thus the two of them didn't sleep all night and only fell asleep at dawn, everyone understood their predicament and tactfully didn't wake them.
Su Wan first lit the brazier in the front hall where they normally entertained their guests before sending Qi Mei to bring some hot water from the kitchen, drinking warm water in such cold weather was good for their health. Once she was done settling the matter of entertaining the guests she picked up Qi Zhi and hugged him before sitting down. Don't think that just because she was bundled up she wasn't feeling cold at all, she disliked winter the most and since the body she was residing in had a broken foundation, she needed to take even better care of herself. This is why she hugged Qi Zhi to warm herself, even more, she couldn't risk catching a chill before she got her first period no matter what.
"Sister Su, thank you for your hospitality" after drinking the hot ginger and sugar water that Qi Mei brought, Fang Kai felt his entire body warm-up. He gave Qi Mei a friendly smile that displayed his dimples before looking at Su Wan because he didn't pay attention to Qi Mei after that, he missed his chance to see the little girl's blushing because of him. Don't look down on Qi Mei just because she was ten years old in this era girls could get married at fifteen thus, Qi Mei was mature enough to get embarrassed and shy when a good looking man, smiled at her. Of course, she blushed only because she found Fang Kai cute and nothing more.
Qi Shuyan looked at his sister who has gone red in the face and pursed his lips before looking at Fang Kai, what was good about this guy? Wasn't he just a pretty boy? The thirteen-year-old lad couldn't understand the importance of having ' an idol like good looking face' and could only ponder about it helplessly.
**********************
Chapter 276 - [Bonus ]

However, Qi Shuyan wasn't the only one who was pondering over this matter. The Lin brothers who came rushing after hearing that a big brother came to look for their Wife from Qi Mei when the latter went to fetch warm water from the kitchen was also pondering about the same thing.
Lin Jing who was watching his wife chat with the guy whom he had no idea about with a beaming smile, the same smile that never failed to affect him, the one that made his entire body go taut, and couldn't help but feel agitated. Why was he feeling agitated? Because that smile wasn't directed at him, that smile belonged to him and him alone why was she giving it to someone else other than him?
His eyes burned with an unknown fire as he gazed at Su Wan point-blank, as he willed her to look at him. Willed her to look away from the pretty boy and look at him, just for a second only for a second. And she did, she turned around to look at him, Lin Jing was sure that she was surprised upon seeing the five of them together but then she looked at them with a polite smile before turning her attention back to the pretty boy.
Lin Jing clenched his fingers, his emotions were all over the place. They were pushing him to go to her, but Lin Jing was stubborn as well, he stayed put where he was - go there and do what? He was certain that he couldn't make Su Wan smile like how the pretty boy was making her smile ( the two of them are just chatting casually about Fang Xiaolin, and Fang Kai is telling Su Wan how his sister has gotten pickier after eating her cooking nothing else). Lin Jing pursed his lips and scanned Fang Kai again, and he couldn't help but think - what was so special about this guy, that Su Wan was paying attention to him? ( he is her guest, ?)
After examining Fang Kai properly Lin Jing came to the same conclusion that he was nothing but a pretty boy who was as frail as a chicken. But what if Su Wan likes this kind of pretty boy? Who was easy to get along with? Lin Jing knew that he and his brothers were not easy to go along with, all of them were more difficult than the other one- even if they had separate wives they would have possibly driven them crazy, what more Su Wan had to take care of of all five of them.
Why will she take care of them? She wasn't responsible for cleaning after them right? She was a woman with unique talents, and confidence - what's more she was still a pure woman if last night's incident was still weighing on her mind and she was now regretting her decision to stay with them and wanted to start afresh then - no, no, he shouldn't be doubtful of Wan Wan, he knew her and he understood her well. She wasn't someone who would just casually divorce them and move on just because of a small fight but - why was she smiling at the pretty boy!
Swallowing back a curse that nearly burst through his lips, Lin Jing caught hold of Lin Chen just in time before the latter gatecrashed in Su Wan and the pretty boy's chat. He looked away from Su Wan before dragging Lin Chen away from the front hall while beckoning the rest. He might be upset and annoyed but he hadn't gone stupid, he knew that if he let Lin Chen rush inside the front hall to break in between Su Wan and the pretty boy's chat, his wife will surely get even more angrier.
Thus, battling the urge to drag Su Wan away from the guy and show her who was better for her between him and the pretty boy, he brought Lin Chen away. He was feeling a coldness in his heart that had nothing to do with the weather...but Lin Jing still resolutely dragged Lin Chen away and didn't let him disrupt Su Wan.
A beat later he heard Su Wan's husky laugh the guy told her something funny, something that made her smile - something that he could never do and Lin Jing's annoyance morphed into irritation, he didn't know who that pretty guy was but in regards to his crime of making his wife laugh like that Lin Jing wrote the guy's name in the little book in his heart. He even underlined it with red!
" brother why did you stop me?" demanded Lin Chen while Lin Yu was still straining to look at Su Wan "that guy is flirting with our wife!"
"If you want to make Wan Wan angry even more then go, "said Lin Jing though he was grounding his teeth so hard that it was almost audible " they are just talking"
Lin Yu didn't even have the decency to hide his displeasure as he glared at him " what's there to talk with our wife? Isn't he just eyeing her in d...disguise?"
"Alright don't think too much," said Lin Rui stopping the two from going any further down the dark lane " can't you see that the guy brought a basket full of meat? I'm sure he is Sister Xiaolin's brother who sells meat in the village in winter because he can not travel to the town with all this snow. Don't think too much, sister Xiaolin is our neighbour and her brother would surely not dig at our corner "
That was true but that didn't mean that they weren't jealous of him! Their wife wasn't so much as talking with them and here he was joyously conversing with her - all laughs and giggles, don't think they can't hear it just because they were away from the hall!
" Elder brother and Ah Rui is right" Lin Yan nodded but before he could speak, Su Wan's husky laugh interrupted him again. It took every single bit of the patience the brothers had not to turn around and warn the little pretty boy from coming to their house ever again " instead of worrying about the pre-young man we all should reflect on our actions and think about how to change the situation around, alright?"
"Alright" even though the brothers weren't happy, they were sensible they knew they made a mistake and they needed to reflect on it. Thus, all of them went back to their rooms to think about what they needed to do to earn Su Wan's forgiveness but neither of them closed the door to their room to keep a check on the young man.
Carrying the basket of pork to the kitchen, Su Wan acted like she couldn't feel Lin Jing's eyes on her. She bid Fang Kai goodbye and thanked him for bringing the pork to her house, thanks to the heavy snow the villagers were locked down in their village until spring. With such a thick layer of snow covering the road, they hardly travelled to the town unless it was an emergency, if not for Fang Kai and Fang Xiaolin helping her on time she would have to spend the rest of the winter on fish and vegetables, it was a rarity for others but she ate it all the time, thus, Su Wan was getting bored of it.
This pork came right on time and Fang Kai became her good benefactor and friend after chatting with him for a while she realised that he was an outgoing young man who has seen a lot. His tales were simply fascinating to listen to and he was even a better businessman which might explain why Su Wan bought so much meat from him.
She has bought a pork stomach, lean meat and pig head as well as some big bones to stew soup. Warm stew with braised pig head meat was simply a delicacy in the winter, Su Wan couldn't help but smack her lips in anticipation. Everything was perfect -except Lin Jing's gaze that was drilling in her back. It was not a gaze that made a girl's blood boil with passion no, it was a piercing irritation filled scowl that was sending shivers down her body.
Now, what was wrong with him?
**********************
Chapter 277 - What To Do?
Name：Shrewd wife of Lin brothers Author：fairytail72
Lin Jing crossed his arms behind his back and kept staring at Su Wan, it was making him mad. Seriously, making him mad - his eyes couldn't help but dart towards her every now and then, yet she was hardly looking at him. He never believed that he was a complete dunce but now he did, his mind was blank and he couldn't think of one single idea that might earn him Su Wan's forgiveness. He had to restrain himself from walking close to her and twirling the loose strand of her hai, Su Wan's hair was shiny like that and it enticed him. Many times he had done that without knowing that he was doing it, it was like a subconscious act on his part, but right now he couldn't do that and that was making him annoyed.
Why can that pretty boy laugh and smile like that with her but he can't even talk to her without her snapping at him?
Because the pretty boy didn't make her mad, retorted his mind and just like that all of his steam blew out of his body.
" Wan Wan -" he began but stopped because he didn't know what to say, he was never a good talker. And he never mollycoddled anyone in his family, the job of coddling fell on to Lin Yan while he was responsible for earning money. Lin Jing pursed his lips in frustration, there was so much he wanted to say and to do but he couldn't because he didn't know how to, he thought that he was smart and with his nature it was impossible to make Su Wan mad, that the two of them will leave a peaceful and happy life without any problems but - looks like he was just too naive.
He wistfully looked at Su Wan's back, and as if she sensed it she looked back. Lin Jing guessed that maybe he was wearing a really intense expression because her eyes briefly widened but this time she didn't avert her gaze from him instead she gave him an expectant look, the one that was daring him to speak his mind and tell her what she wanted to listen to most. Lin Jing's anxious heart calmed down a little at least she didn't despise him even though she was angry at him.
" Wan Wan, you-you would you like to come with me for a walk?" after he finished speaking, Lin Jing wanted to smack his mouth. Come with him for a walk? Where? The entire village was shrouded in snow and nobody dared to go outside for fear of catching a chill, even if he dared to brave the winds to hunt animals, he couldn't accept Su Wan to the same with him right?
Just as expected Su Wan's eyes dimmed before she turned around after giving him a patronising look " Can't, I have to cook breakfast and take care of this meat, even if it's cold then it doesn't mean that it won't go bad. I think I will deal with it accordingly"
Then she walked away from him, seeing her go Lin Jing cursed furiously, his curse must have been quite loud because he saw her pause before continuing to walk. Leaving him behind to wonder how to get her to forgive him, he was a complete jerk he admits it but what should he do? He made a mistake but he has no way out to salvage the situation because he didn't know how to, was he supposed to talk with her? Then how was he supposed to talk with her and what was he supposed to say? He didn't know a single thing about making a woman happy.
Su Wan didn't stop walking when she heard Lin Jing curse, though her lips curled up because it was really good to see these brats getting frustrated after all she too wanted to curse at Lin Yi last night but couldn't because of this stupid soft-hearted husband of hers, a good thing to teach him how it feels to be stuffy in the heart.
She didn't bother with him and bought the meat to the kitchen where Lin Yan was already waiting for her. Looking at him standing there with a nervous expression, she snorted unhappily. She wanted to see what he was going to do, she turned her back to him and picked the cleaver to chop the bones. She wanted to stew some big bone would for herself and the children, of course, everyone else too will have a share to it but Su Wan wasn't willing to think about them right now.
Stew pork bones for more than two hours-simply delish when cooked with radish.
However, before she could begin chopping the bones. Lin Yan poked something soft and fluffy on her cheek, startled, she turned around to look at him. Here she wasn't even talking with them and he was poking her cheek? Simply wishing to die!
But when she opened her mouth to speak, something soft and sweet was pushed in her mouth, surprised she closed her mouth as sweetness spread. The taste was certainly similar to cotton candy but there was a filling of nuts inside it which made it taste even more authentic and delicious.
" This.. Is this dragon beard candy?" Su Wan had eaten this fluffy confection when her grandmother was still alive, later on she tried to recreate this taste but she couldn't - it has been many years since she tasted this sweet.
" En" said Lin Yan softly, for making this sweet he had woken up at four in the morning however he was dragged away by Lin Chen to bring those flowers from the mountain, he knew that Lin Chen's idea was completely nonsensical but he still went along with it because it was his first time coaxing a woman. Thus, he was willing to listen to every suggestion but when he saw that Lin Chen's idea failed he rushed back in the kitchen to make dragon candies, it was the only dessert that he knew how to make without Su Wan's help.
When they were kids, Lin Yan used to make this candy to cheer his siblings up when they were upset or saddene.. The candy didn't take many ingredients just a mixture of sugar and nothing more and was incredibly simple to make, he knew that Su Wan likes eating sugary snacks thus he decided to make this candy for her now that she was in a bad mood.
**********************
Chapter 278 - [Bonus ]You Flirt
Name：Shrewd wife of Lin brothers Author：fairytail72
Su Wan blinked her eyes and smiled awkwardly, all the words that she wanted to use to scold Lin Yan went inside her throat just like that. How was she supposed to chide him when he was trying to coax her this sweetly. She chewed on the fluffy sweetness and felt a warmth that has nothing to do with the fire burning in the kitchen spread in her heart. What did a woman want more than this? A small and sincere gesture of apology and a heartfelt ' sorry', nothing else.
Women were just this simple, their temper was easy to flare up but it was just as easy to coax them
Just speak some sweet words, bring their favourite chocolates and say that you are sorry, nothing more. Unless their man did something over the top, women will never keep it in their hearts for long and forgive their husbands.
More than gifts and accessories they liked receiving heartfelt apologies in which their husbands put their sincere efforts into.
" do you know what you did wrong ?" asked Su Wan once she finished eating the candy, she licked her lips to clean the wispy sugary strands that were sticking to her lips before she spoke up again " will you do it again?"
" I won't, and I know that I was in the wrong when I left you alone with Lin Yi, I should have known that no matter how strong you are, it's my responsibility to take care of you," said Lin Yan solemnly, he wasn't just saying it because he wanted to earn her forgiveness. In fact last night he kept thinking about this all night, he didn't even sleep a wink, while thinking about how he handled the situation. He was in the wrong no matter how he looked at it, Lin Yi was like a knot in his heart, he couldn't untie it no matter what and that was why he never once tried to clear it up with Lin Yi either because he knew that his second sister was far too rotten for him salvage her.
She was selfish and vain, and she was the reason why Lin Chen had to stay in bed for more than a year with all his fractures and wounds healing. Lin Yan was furious at Lin Yi and his anger never receded, because of this when Lin Yi came to their house yesterday night - his mind lost its rationality. He was afraid that he might do something he didn't want to and thus left the room. He didn't want to make matter worse by hitting or saying something ugly but in the end, his considerate actions were useless because Lin Yi that girl, didn't deserve their consideration and kindness.
Look what kind of trouble she brought, after thinking for a night, Lin Yan had thought it through - from now on whether it was their close family members or their relatives if they tried to create trouble for him or his wife then he will take necessary actions to stop them - from now on he will put Su Wan as his first priority than himself, for her he will control his emotions even better, he will take proper care of Su Wan instead of worrying about what people will say or call them - if he was called unfilial or cold-blooded than so be it.
" It's good that you understand" seeing that he had thought it through Su Wan didn't harp on the matter with him anymore " you should know where the limit lies, you can not allow your family to take liberties with you or me, no matter how close they are. Some people are just not worth it"
She wasn't that unhappy because Lin Yi wasn't satisfied with her what she was unhappy with for the most part was that the girl was not a good seed. She was virtueless and selfish if her husbands didn't put a stop now who knows what kind of trouble Lin Yi might drag their family into, don't say that she was thinking too much but to her, both Lin Yi and He Rong looked the same, not in their facial features but character-wise.
He Rong wasn't a good woman, Su Wan who was knowledgeable in that part could see it in one glance when He Rong came here yesterday her eyes furtively darted to all the five brothers from time to time, and her gaze wasn't filled with appreciation but instead lust - she was lusting after five married men if they were unmarried sure look as much as you like but when they were married with their wife sitting right next to them, how can you be so shameless as to ogle her men?
Similarly, Lin Yi wasn't a good egg either. From what Lin Yu said last night, Lin Yi's husband was nothing great but just an honest dock worker, but if he was just an honest dock worker -how come Lin Yi was able to afford that brocade she was wearing yesterday night? Others couldn't see but Lin Yu and She could easily figure out the price of the brocade that Lin Yi was wearing it must have cost at least a silver tael. In these conditions when it was too hard for the common people to even manage their rations, Lin Yi could wear such expensive clothing? How was it possible -unless she was doing something dishonest behind her husband's back. A woman who has no talent and no virtues what else could she do except open a business when no one was at home? It was shameful to say that is why Su Wan didn't say it last night because if she did then she might have ended up questioning Mother Lin's teachings and what's more she had no evidence.
Anyway, she was certain that one of these days, Lin Yi will definitely invite trouble. And she didn't want her husbands to be dragged down by that selfish brat!
Lin Yan didn't think of the matter so deeply, he wasn't even paying attention to Lin Yi's face much less her clothes so how could he know that? However, he too didn't want to bother with Lin Yi so he agreed amicably " Don't worry I won't bother with her now, I will only bother with you, okay Wan Wan"
" Dare to say nonsense so early in the morning " snorted Su Wan though she said that her mouth never stopped smiling.
" that's it? Nothing else ?" asked Lin Yan as he leaned forward and held her gaze.
Su Wan understood his meaning but simply rolled her eyes before pretending that she couldn't understand him "what else? You gave me a candy and I gave you my forgiveness what else do you want?"
" I think I should at least get a kiss or something for my efforts"
" nice try Ah Yan, but now... This much is only enough to get you my forgiveness and nothing more. If you want kisses then work harder than this"
" Oh come on, it's just a kiss"
" My kisses are expensive"
" don't say that you didn't forgive me then I swear I will...I will"
" you will what?" asked Su Wan before arching an eyebrow at him.
Lin Yan's sense of justice and fairness left then and there, he couldn't threaten Su Wan so he only pouted unhappily and said " if you don't give me a kiss then I'm going to sulk!"
Su Wan rolled her eyes in amusement before she stalked towards him and cupped his chin so that she could hold his gaze, she could feel Lin Yan shudder when she touched him as expectation began to fill his eyes. She smiled crookedly before leaning close to his lips and " don't be such a big baby"
Finished teasing she dropped her hand and turner around chuckling.
It took several seconds for Lin Yan to recover his wits before his face flushed red all the way to his neck and he couldn't help but yell " you flirt ".
----
" you don't want to give me your power stones? But I'm getting them baby"- Lin Chen The real flirt.
**********************
Chapter 279 - Blame Su Wan
Name：Shrewd wife of Lin brothers Author：fairytail72
18+ ahead
At the Lin house, the sweetness was overflowing while at the Luo's side, something else was overflowing.
" where are you going? I'm not done yet" said Mao Wu, the scrawny hooligan as she pulled a completely naked Luo Chenxi towards him by clasping her wrist and tugging it backwards. Luo Chenxi who was already staggering because of overusing her legs last night stumbled and nearly fell on the floor.
But somehow she managed to keep her balance and answered " my father will be here anytime soon, I - we can't go on doing this anymore"
" really? But what about this?" asked Mao Wu as he fisted his member and gave it a good pump "it's not down yet if I'm not satisfied then I won't give you the medicine to prevent pregnancy, do you want to get pregnant, with a child. Let me tell you if you really ended up getting pregnant I won't take responsibility. Both I and Chun had our fair share of fun with you, who knows whose kid you are carrying in your womb currently"
Luo Chenxi flushed and her face heated up in embarrassment and anger. She couldn't believe that two hooligans who were living off her money actually dared to threaten her but they were right, she couldn't get pregnant, and needed that medicine to stop pregnancy no matter what!
She looked down at her swollen womanhood that was dripping with the hooligans essence and gritted her teeth so hard that they nearly turned to dust. It was Su Wan! She ended up like this because of Su Wan!
To think she was defiled by two ugly hooligans! For this reason, she will never forgive Su Wan! It was because of her that she was in this predicament, night after night she was forced to satisfy these hooligans. She won't rest at ease without settling this score with Su Wan!
This time Su Wan was really innocent, in fact, the Lin brothers were also innocent. They never asked Mao Wu and Li Chun to take Luo Chenxi's virginity. Neither did they help the two hooligans, it was Mao Wu and Li Chun who couldn't keep their little brothers in their pants after tasting Luo Chenxi's fresh meat. Just like Lin Yu expected after a month of screwing Luo Chenxi in her peach hole, the two hooligans started to get greedy and somehow managed to get an aphrodisiac pill and fed Luo Chenxi.
After eating that pill whatever sensibility Luo Chenxi had was lost and she ended up losing her virginity. Once the seal was broken, the last bit of restraint broke as well and the three of them started to mess around without caring about anything.
Luo Chenxi who was spending her night opening her window for these two hooligans couldn't accept the fact that she was doing it willingly and it was her own desires that she couldn't control. She still blamed Su Wan for her predicament believing that Su Wan sent some suspicious pill in the hands of the hooligans to make her like this.
It was true that she did eat a suspicious pill but it was only for one night after that everything was flushed out, the reason she was still opening her legs for these two hooligans was that she wanted to. Luo Chenxi was already crooked and this incident made her even more rotten, it was her own bodily desires that couldn't be controlled but yet she still blamed Su Wan.
" what? Not going to do so?" asked Li Chun as his eyes vulgarly trailed down Luo Chenxi 's body. Then without waiting for an answer he thrust his fingers in her womanhood, making a squelching sound as his fingers circled her opening " heh, you are still trying to act shy when you are like this - didn't we give you a chance to stop? It was you who didn't want to stop and opened your window to let us in again, isn't that right?"
The two hooligans were corrupted but they were not that gutsy, the reason they were able to get this far was that Luo Chenxi wasn't a good woman with a good character. She liked to pretend but in truth she was just like them- one time she closed the window to her room and the hooligans thought that everything was done after all a month was up and they fulfilled their deal with Lin Yu and Lin Chen . But to their surprise the next night, Luo Chenxi left her window wide open for them and was even waiting for them without wearing anything! If she didn't allow them will they be able to do so? She had so many chances to stop them, she could have told her father and stopped them, after all, she had both power and money to do so but she didn't and let them satisfy her like personal boy toys.
At Li Chun's reminder, Luo Chenxi shuddered that night she really did intend to end everything once and for all but then her body wouldn't settle down and kept getting hotter and hotter. In the end, Luo Chenxi had to make do with her mother's rolling pin that night, after that she no longer stopped the hooligans from violating her. It was her who couldn't stop but she kept blaming it on Su Wan every night after she was done drowning in pleasure - just because she couldn't accept the possibility that she was a loose woman!
" what are you not coming?" asked Mao Wu sounding impatient.
Luo Chenxi looked at his impatient expression and then at his rock hard member that was pulsating wildly, she licked her lips when she felt something wet and got trickling down her opening. Her insides were throbbing madly and she could no longer care about her father returning back. So, she climbed on the bed again and spread her legs open revealing her swollen petals to the hooligans " hurry up before my father comes back finish it up"
All of them knew that it was impossible to finish before the village head returned. Mao Wu and Li Chun snorted.
' present keep pretending to be a virtuous woman' they both sneered inwardly but didn't stop doing what they were doing. Mao Wu thrust his shaft in Luo Chenxi's eager mouth while Li Chun eased himself inside her.
The hooligans didn't held back because Luo Chenxi didn't let them, she kept urging them to go hard and fast while she explained that she wanted to finish it soon they both knew it was because she was a bottom-line masochist- who liked the edge in the pain they gave her.
" Chenxi are you in there?" while they were halfway through, Village head Luo returned and knocked on the door hearing some ' weird ' noises inside his daughter's room " are you okay?"
" answer him" whispered Mao Wu as he pulled back from Luo Chenxi's mouth, who made an unsatisfied whimpering sound when the two of them stopped "answer him however you want, if you want you can tell him that you are getting violated if you want this to stop"
Mao Wu was a hooligan but he wasn't without a bottom line, he didn't want to continue doing this without Luo Chenxi accepting that she wanted it too.
Luo Chenxi blinked at him in surprise, she didn't know what he was planning but it was an excellent opportunity to put a stop to all of this. However, she didn't like the emptiness in her opening when Li Chun pulled out as well - she could stop this, just like she should but " I'm alright, father. I'm just dusting my room nothing else. Don't worry "
Village head Luo heard her answer and didn't pursue the matter anymore before walking away, he trusted his daughter as long as she stayed at home and didn't do anything overboard he will entertain her thus when Luo Chenxi said that he didn't doubt her words at all.
" go on" licking her lips, said Luo Chenxi as she moved her hips closer to Li Chun.
" you made your choice," said Mao Wu before continuing what they were doing. In fact, he was trying to tell Luo Chenxi not to blame anyone but herself. After spending more than a month with her he knew what kind of woman she was, he wasn't doing it because he genuinely liked Luo Chenxi but because he was afraid that if she continued this way she might drag all of them down.
However, his kind reminder was deemed to be ignored just like Luo Chenxi ignored her flaws.
-
"Here you go" throwing a pouch of dried herbs Mao Wu dressed himself " remember to drink it because I'm not taking responsibility "
" neither am I" chimed Li Chun pulling his pants up .
Luo Chenxi who was sitting on the bed with essence dripping down her thighs on her bedsheet, sneered and clutched the medicine " who wants you to take responsibility?" rotten pigs wanting to eat delicious cabbage? Humph, she was the daughter of the village head surely she amounted more than two hooligans!
Mao Wu and Li Chun didn't say anything and climbed out of the window silently. Only once they were quite far away from village head Luo's house did they speak up.
" Should we stop coming here boss?" asked Li Chun " I am afraid that she might be planning something. She is great in bed but I don't want to make her my wife"
" Are you stupid ?" sneered Mao Wu " do you think if we stop coming here she will stop? At least with us here, she is not creating that much trouble but if we stop coming here then a loose woman like her will find some other man that satisfy her. When that happens she will surely be caught and rat us out, she has no morals can't you see? She herself can't keep her legs close and stop her hips from pounding a man's meat and yet she blames the Su girl for it. If she got caught with some other man she will directly blame us two for making her like this -like she was any better before Pei!"
" so there is no other option? I don't want to marry her though " said Li Chun unhappily.
"Why are you upset about it? I think it's great if one of us can marry her " sneered Mao Wu " she is the village head's daughter surely the keep her reputation that village head will feed us good money"
"What marry? She is not a good woman, what if she makes us wear a green hat"
"Then we wear it, " said Mao Wu calmly " it's not like we are good men either, and if she dares make us wear green hats then we might as well sell her to a brothel and make her wear us green hats every night as long as we get money who cares what our wife does?"
Mao Wu has thought it through he was no longer as against as marrying Luo Chenxi which was why he was willing to play along with her.
Li Chun only this stupid boy couldn't sort out the advantage of marrying that girl.
-
Luo Chenxi didn't know that the hooligans were dreaming of marrying her. She was currently brewing medicine after cleaning up as she stared at the fire burning fixedly she sneered and her mind flashed with numerous ideas. A few days ago her father told her that wolves were coming down the mountain -if only she could somehow send Su Wan there.
She will teach her a good lesson!
-
"Achoo!" at the Lin house Su Wan who was sitting inside her room on the Kang after teasing Lin Yan sneezed " who? Who is scheming against me now?"
Ps:- I respect women choices and by no means I'm calling anyone loose if anyone has more than one bang-bang partner, as long as you know it's your choice instead of blaming others.. You can do whatever you want I respect that.

Chapter 280 - [Bonus ]wolves
Name：Shrewd wife of Lin brothers Author：fairytail72
Su Wan has completely forgotten about Luo Chenxi, this side character who only appeared for a short while. She was one of those people who firmly adhered to the principle of letting go and forgetting, no need to keep it in mind to make one suffer totally unlike Luo Chenxi who was still blaming Su Wan despite falling in the pit by themselves.
Thus, even if she has many enemies Su Wan couldn't zero down on Luo Chenxi and she was no psychic so it was even more impossible.
" Wan Wan are you okay?" mother Lin who just woke up and finished her breakfast of dumplings filled with oil residue and minced pork ( courtesy Su Wan), and came to see her daughter in law after not finding her anywhere, couldn't help but ask when she heard Su Wan sneeze. The weather was already so cold that even seven jin of the cotton blanket wasn't enough to warm them up, so mother Lin was worried that Su Wan might have caught a chill.
"mother in law? Why are you here? " asked Su Wan, the snow last night wasn't light at all. Compared to them, mother Lin who's health wasn't good at all, shouldn't come out in the cold winds " mother? You shouldn't be here. It's so cold better to stay inside your room on the Kang"
" How can I stay inside after upsetting my good daughter in law," said mother Lin a little guiltily "I couldn't stop thinking about last night, you did so much for our family and yet we let Lin Yi disrespect you like that, my heart wasn't at ease just thinking about it. That's why I came to see you, I was afraid that this incident might create a knot in your heart"
" mother, it's not your fault" Su Wan didn't blame Mother Lin, she was Lin Yi's mother and as a mother, she will always think the best of her children. It wasn't her negligence but her husbands, mother Lin tried to keep a balance between her sons and daughter, this is something that she could have never stopped doing as a mother" you are their mother, you will of course try to keep an equilibrium between them"
" no, I'm in the wrong," said Mother Lin " it's true that I'm their mother, but am I not your mother as well? I should have not allowed Lin Yi to upset you like that.. Mother, was wrong can you forgive me?"
" Mother in law-?" however before she could say anything, mother Lin rose from her chair and wrapped a snowy white muffler around her neck. The muffler was soft and full of warmth, making Su Wan eyes feel hot " mother in law what's, why?"
" I finished it last night, I was knitting it for you ever since you bought the yarn for me. I wanted to make something nice for you since this is the least I could do " sighed mother Lin as she straightened the muffler " ah Yu helped me with the design, I thought I will give you a nice gift... Who knew that I would use this gift to apologise to you"
Su Wan blinked her eyes and willed away her tears, she was lying when she said that she wasn't upset by Mother Lin's behaviour yesterday night but she tried to forget it by repeatedly telling herself that Mother Lin was after all her mother in law and Lin Yi was her own biological daughter, of course, she would favour her more than her, who was just an outsider.
Su Wan was just like that, she had a tough life even in her previous lifetime. Because she was an orphan no one liked to play with her but instead of begging them to play with her, Su Wan would play alone in the playground not bothering with them at all. Her mother was the same, always blaming her for not being a good daughter saying that if she was as cute as Su Lan maybe her father would come and meet her, why will she act cutesy with her father who didn't want her? Why will she beg him for loving her when she knew he didn't?
Just like that she was not willing to ask or question mother Lin, if the latter didn't like her then she wouldn't ask her to like her either. She won't beg or throw tantrums, Su Wan was prepared to keep mother Lin at bay and treat her with basic courtesy as her daughter in law and nothing more.
But who would have thought, that mother Lin would come to her by herself and even apologise in such a compassionate manner? The wall that Su Wan started building around her heart was knocked down before she could even finish it.
Never before she was loved by a mother and didn't know what it feels to be loved like a mother or what exactly was maternal love. This was the first time that someone was willing to love her like a mother would love her daughter, how can she not be emotional because of This?
"'Mother in law, why didn't you stop her ?" said Su Wan as she could no longer control her grievances " she is your daughter but I'm your daughter too, she wronged me so much. *sniff*"
" Mother is sorry, Wan Wan" seeing Su Wan crying, mother Lin started to cry as well. Hugging the small figure of her daughter in law in her arms, she couldn't help but mentally slap herself for wronging such a sweet daughter in law like that " but don't worry mother slapped that bad girl for you yesterday, I slapped her twice don't worry, ..don't be angry, mother taught her a good lesson"
Mother Lin indeed slapped Lin Yi when she went over the top in insulting Su Wan which was why the latter lost her control and brashly fought with father Lin like that before Su Wan and the others arrived.
" mother law"
"Wan Wan"
"'Mother in law "
"WAN WAN!"
The two women cried in each other embrace until their eyes puffed up and became swollen only then did the two stop crying.
" I think it's better if Lin Yi stays away" wiping her eyes with a cloth that was dipped in cold water, mother Lin finally spoke in a stuffy voice " that girl, she is much more troublesome now than she was as a child. I am afraid that if she comes here frequently she might drag her brothers down" when mother Lin found out what Lin Yi did to her third and second brother, mother Lin's already guilty heart dropped all the way to her stomach, her daughter -the one she gave birth to was so vicious! How can she be so vicious? Almost killing her brothers like that is what a sin!
Su Wan didn't say anything, she could feel that mother Lin was depressed and wanted to hurriedly change the topic but before she could she was interrupted by the howls of wolves, she immediately looked out of her window at the foot of the mountain and then asked worriedly before she could stop herself " mother, listen -is that a pack of wolves? Are they coming down the mountain ?"
Mother Lin remarked in worry " From the sound of the howls, there are indeed quite a lot of wolves in this pack! If they descend the mountain, the families here, including us, will bear the brunt of their attack. It's too cold, I'm afraid many animals went in hibernation and the wolves can no longer find food as readily as they could, maybe they are coming down in search of food ."
Just as mother Lin finished speaking a wretched scream was heard from outside .
"WOLVES! WOLVES! AT THE FOOT OF THE MOUNTAIN THERE ARE WOLVES! RUN FOR YOUR FOR LIVES !"
