Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

" He can really cry' said Lin Chen carrying a sleeping Fang Zimo on his back, his heart welling up with resentment, this guy kept clutching and hugging his second brother crying a river and when he was done crying, he fell unconscious. Like what the hell? He had to dress up like a bad guy, save this guy's rotten ass and now he has to carry him on his back? Really? What was he? His personal servant? " But second brother are you sure you want to save this guy? I mean he isn't trustable, he already betrayed you once .. trusting him again, I don't think its the right choice"

" I know," Lin Yan said lightly. He knew it better than anyone how hard this decision was for him, he knew what Fang Zimo was capable of but he was still willing to save him. It wasn't that he pitied him but he knew of Fang Zimo's sufferings, he knew how ruthless and cruel she can be but Fang Zimo still let him go. It could have been a momentarily lapse of control or guilt, it could have been anything but in the end, Fang Zimo did save him and took the consequences. That was just a part of his reason, the truth was that he couldn't get rid of his angry profile from his mind, he looked so hurt and wounded like a trapped animal, when he ran away he didn't stop to think what would happen to Fang Zimo, his only concern was o save himself. Now that he looked back, he should have taken Fang Zimo with him. He was only twelve much younger than his teenage self, Lin Yan didn't even want to think about what happened to him with him going " I just think that everyone should get a second chance, it's true that he betrayed me first but he was only a child back then, a child who was sold by his family it is not surprising that he was in denial and afraid. Who doesn't like to save themselves? Didn't I run away too without looking back, without caring what might happen to him, knowing that he might suffer in my stead? And I am not saving him because I feel guilty but because it's the right thing to do, he has suffered enough. I think his sufferings till now are enough to repay what he did to me"

Lin Chen said nothing he simply carried Fang Zimo on his back, though he didn't trust Fang Zimo, it wasn't his right to decide what to do with him.? Fang Zimo didn't wrong him after all, he wasn't his sinner but his second brother's, only his second brother had the right to decide what he wanted to do with him.

The two didn't know that the sleeping Fang Zimo was no longer asleep, he was lying silently on Lin Chen's back blinking away the tears in his eyes, Yes..he wasn't trustable but he will slowly change himself. Not for him but his Brother Yan who came into his life like a shining sun.

When the three of them returned home, Su Wan was already awake and was collecting the pigweed with Lin Yu to feed the pigs in the pigsty. The pigs were growing up well and soon they can sell them to butchery in the spring. The pigs were weighed at least several jins now, they will be able to earn quite a lot of money after selling them.

Su Wan who was returning from the fields after collecting the pigweeds saw Lin Yan and Lin Chen returning with Lin Jing, when she woke up the three of them were not at home though she knew they must have gone out to deal with somethings she was still surprised to see the three of them returning with a strange man she has never seen before, but from his pale complexion and weak profile, the man looked quite sick. Su Wan hurried forward " what's wrong? what happened who is this man? he doesn't look alright, is he okay?"

Lin Yan can of course not tell Su Wan what they did last night, and he knew what kind of woman Su Wan was she couldn't even withstand a single in her eyes, once she realises that Fang Zimo was the man who tried to kidnap him and was also responsible for traumatising him then she would never let him inside their house. He has to wait for Fang Zimo to get better and gain Su Wan's trust before telling her about him. So, he swallowed the words that were almost on the tip of his tongue and changed his words " We saved him in the town he was being forcefully sold to a brothel, he looks sturdy and I think you can use him as a helper in the house. I don't like seeing you work in the fields, the weather is getting hot, and yet you go outside to collect pigweeds and whatnot, so it is better to have a helper at home"

In just a few words , Fang Zimo was reduced to a mere helper without his consent .

Fang Zimo "..." ????

Lin Chen and Lin Jing who realised how good Lin Yan can flirt when he wanted to "….." very good there was a dark horse hiding among them and they didnt even know!

Su Wan on the other hand was quite pleased with Lin Yan's special care. Though she knew that Lin Yan wasnt being truthful, she didnt push him to tell her the truth she knew that Lin Yan might hide things from her but he will never deliberately lie to her , so she simply nodded " I see, but his injuries are quite severe lets send for Doctor Gu and treat his injuries , if we dontv treat him prperly he might become an extra baggage instead of a helper"

The extra baggage Fang Zimo "….." Dont get angry , Dont get angry this was Brother Yan's wife , he cannot get angry at all or Brother Yan might kick him out .. Just look how doting his brother Yan was he reduced his childhood brother to a helper in mere seconds for his wife.
