Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 254 - [Bonus ]

Father Lin was upset because of Qi Zhi's interference and his face went dark. Ah, Rui was his son! He should be the first on boasting about his achievements, not someone else! Even if that someone was his godson! How infuriating!

" Is that so?" Su Wan was really surprised at this information, because of their promise to Headmaster Yuan their family has been delivering fresh vegetables to his house every day but even though they had such a close relationship, neither Su Wan nor anyone else from the Lin family dared to bring up the matter of Lin Rui's acceptance letter. In the beginning, Lin Rui was full of optimism but as the day went by and no letter arrived , he got a little dejected . He was so upset that except for studying he did nothing the entire day , even on the night where he and Su Wan shared a room , Lin Rui would study until he passed out. His obsession with studying got so worse that Su Wan nearly - set fire to his books .

It was through the path of peace of Buddhism did she stopped herself from becoming an arsonist .

Luckily , the letter came or Su Wan would have really taken some major steps . After all, she hated studying the most every time she saw those wriggly texts her heart start feeling stuffy and her butt would start throbbing . She still couldn't forget the terror under which she suffered while she was in school, she was a talented kid when it came to farming , cooking and earning money but she was a little too lacking in terms of scholarly talents but her grandmother was even more stubborn she wanted to see a graduate in her family - thus, the hell mode days of Su Wan's life began. In the end Su Wan nearly developed a phobia of books - she hated scriptures, she hated science and poetry and she despised maths - the enemy of all students !

And yet her husband was sleeping with her enemy right under her nose - she nearly went mad ! In fact, most of the night she took refugee in Lin Jing bedroom even if her body and lips suffered a little , she was willing as long as she could protect her brain from those ugly books!

Gah ! Who wants to be a scholar 's wife ? What she loves most was money ! And power ! If not for that she wouldn't have stopped herself from setting fire to Lin Rui 's books .

" That's right , sister in law . The fourth brother was worried that someone was playing a prank on him and nearly rushed to the town to look for Headmaster Yuan , fortunately, father stopped him and assured him that the seal on the letter was the real deal , or else fourth brother would have rushed to the town barefoot in such a cold weather " Little Zhi's childish voice filled the entire room and everyone looked at him dotingly . This was what someone would call happiness in its pure sense ah...

" Really , well it's good that the letter arrived, " said Lin Chen sipping on the hot fish stew to warm his stomach " if it didn't arrive anytime soon and fourth brother continued to obsess with his books , I am afraid Wan Wan would have committed arson already . I still can't forget her mournful scream when she woke up next to fourth brother and saw him muttering scriptures in his sleep "

" What do you know !" snapped Su Wan unhappily throwing a fishbone at Lin Chen who easily dodged it " who would fancy seeing a half-asleep person muttering in his sleep upon waking up it was so scary my heart stopped beating for a second , he looked like he was cursing me or something !"

" You heard that fourth brother , stop obsessing over your books now or Wan Wan might faint because of you some day " teased Lin Chen popping a pickled fish in his mouth and chomping on it " I don't wish to even think about what she might do to you if that happens "

" It was just a one time thing " muttered Lin Rui , his face flushed all the way to his neck . Previously , he was too anxious on losing this opportunity though he knew he shouldn't take it to heart , he couldn't control himself and started obsessing over his failure in his anxiety . The more anxious he got , the more he overthought about everything - he knew that his thoughts were completely nonsensical but he couldn't stop . He kept thinking whether his family was upset because of his failure or did they take him as a useless person . Were they embarrassed ? Or were they unhappy about wasting so much money on him -he couldn't stop his negative thoughts in the end he started studying because only when he studied did his useless thoughts come to cease . In the end he caused everyone to worry about him " I - I won't do it again "

" Alright , Alright don't tease your little brother " chided Mother Lin as she slapped the back of? Lin Chen 's hand with her chopsticks " what's with your childish actions still teasing your younger brother how shameful "

" Eh ? I'm at fault ? What about him scaring Wan Wan ?"

" That was a month ago , why are you still harping about it - " before Mother Lin could finish her scolding , she was interrupted by a loud knock on their front door . Frowning she stood up " who will come here in such a terrible weather ?"

" Maybe one of our? dear relatives " muttered Lin Chen before stomping to the front door and pulling it open . Su Wan too thought the same and expected to see the familiar faces of Old Grandma Lin but instead her eyes happened to fall on unfamiliar faces of two women .

One of them looked older than the other , she looked as if she was in her late thirties . She was wearing new clothes that looked a lot expensive compared to the clothing of the villagers , her hair was meticulously combed and her slightly slanted eyes resembled Lin Chen's? a lot . But unlike Lin Chen's warm and clear eyes , she looked forceful and calculating .

The other woman was in her early twenties , she was really tall with a wide figure . Her skin was tanned and that made her look dark , though she looked as if she was a capable and efficient woman .

" Oh isn't it second sister " said Lin Yan snidely though he looked like he was greeting his sister but he didn't even bother to stand up from his chair instead he languidly leaned back on his chair " what a lovely surprise .. hmm ? Such an honour to see our second sister gracing our house with her presence "

" Ah Yan ! Don't be impolite to your sister " chided Mother Lin softly , she seemed as if she wanted to say more but Lin Yan had already pushed his chair back so hard that it fell with a loud bang .

" She is no sister of mine , when we were in trouble she didn't bother to even send an olive branch to our family but now that we are doing alright , she came knocking on our door . Mother might be willing to whatever story she wants to tell but I don't " with that Lin Yan walked out of the shed without even looking at the ugly expression of his second sister .

Lin Chen followed suit while Lin Yu and Lin Rui too walked out of the shed leaving Lin Jing alone .
