Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 240 – [Bonus ]

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 .
