Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 26 – We Promise

" Ah Jing you stupid boy " seeing that instead of rushing in with his brothers her son was still helping her to walk inside the house , mother Lin couldn't help but chid him . Her eldest son was really too honest and filial , it wasn't as if she couldn't walk inside the house on her own . That's why she thought that instead of helping her in , Lin Jing should have gone along with his brothers and coaxed his wife .

" Its fine " lips pursed Lin Jing assured mother Lin , actually he had no idea about how to coax a woman . Ever since he was a kid , Grandma Lin would force him to do odd jobs in the village to earn some copper coins and when he grew older she sent him to the mountains for hunting after his father passed away thus , Lin Jing had spent more time with trees and animals instead of humans . With the passage of time , his communication skills deteriorated so much that his social circle only included his brothers and his mother .Now With the new addition of Su Wan he had no idea how to talk with her , Su Wan wasn't like any other village girl. She had a mind of her own and she wasn't afraid to speak what was in her heart , within just a day Lin Jing understood that Su Wan was a bold and courageous woman , while he didn't like girls who were too shy and timid , he thought that as long as his wife did her duties and had his kids , he only needed to dote on her and care for her even better but now that he realized that the shy and timid rabbit that he brought back was hiding her sharp claws in her paws , Lin Jing had an inkling that there was no way Su Wan was going consummate her marriage with them without nurturing proper feelings . And speaking about nurturing feelings – Lin Jing 's lips tightened even more , he was some one who couldn't even string a proper sentence without offending the other person , so how was it possible for Su Wan to like him ?

Su Wan who ran back inside the house had no idea what was going on Lin Jing 's mind even if she knew , she would have simply rolled her eyes and scolded him until he started speaking hundreds of words in a single sentence . But since she didn't knew anything , she rushed back into her room and plopped on her so called bedding and stared at the ceiling without blinking .

When Lin Chen and the others saw this scene , Lin Chen wanted to rush in directly but Lin Rui held him back and shook his head . Lin Chen opened his mouth to argue but Lin Rui cut him off " brother my teacher said that before entering someone's especially a woman's room we should take their permission , do you want wife to get even more mad by barging in her room without asking her ?"

Lin Chen blinked at his fourth brother's words , not understanding what he meant by this he wasn't a scholar and didn't receive any education on things like manner and what not and to him Su Wan was his wife , why can't he enter her room ? But when he heard that Su Wan might get mad if he did such a thing , he nodded his head and stepped back at once .

When his third brother stepped back , Lin Rui nodded and cleared his throat before knocking on the door " Wan Wan can we come in ?" he asked politely.

Su Wan turned her head to her door and saw the four brothers standing there and rolled her eyes but since they behaved in such a polite manner especially Lin Yu who looked close to tears if she refused , nodded her head .

Only then did Lin Rui allowed his brothers to enter their wife's room , Lin Chen mouth turned into an 'O 'shape and he firmly burned this 'knock before you enter ' in his mind . At that time Lin Chen didn't know that this small change of habit helped him to win his wife's heart in the future .

" Wan Wan -"

" What are you here for?" interrupting Lin Rui , Su Wan pushed herself off the hard mattress and stared at her husbands who were crouching in front of her " are you here to tell me how much money we are going to send to the old Lin family – no wait , it should be how much money we should be keeping after sending all our earnings to the old Lin family , isn't it ?"

At their wife's sarcastic scolding , the Lin brothers couldn't get mad because they knew that what their wife wasn't in the wrong this time , so Lin Yan who would always explode when scolded , swallowed all his harsh harsh tsundere type words and admitted his wrong " We won't , I'm sorry . I shouldn't have said such a thing , you are right , the old Lin family and our family is now separated so apart from the filial peity that is mention in the separation documents we need not to give them even a single penny more . "

Lin Yu also hurriedly nodded his head " y..yes Wan Wan we won't e..ever gi..give them any..any..anything more . We…we pro..promis..promise you "

" that's right wife " said Lin Chen as he snorted in contempt when Lin Yan mentioned the old Lin family " their family treated us so bad , how can we allow them to bully us in the future ? won't we be called stupid if we let them stomp upon our heads ? I don't know about my brothers but I will listen to you wifey "

" We all will listen to Wan Wan , third brother " mildly glaring at his third brother , Lin Rui spoke. He knew that his brother was trying to cajole Wan Wan and have her forgive him but was it worth it throwing his blood brothers down the raging volcano ? Lin Chen poked his tongue playfully but he did look a bit guilty for taking advantage of his brothers .Seeing this Lin Rui rolled his eyes then turned to look at Su Wan " I promise to record all our monthly earnings and hand it to you , Wan Wan .That way the old Lin family will never snatch money from us "

Su Wan listened to Lin Rui and suddenly felt a bit bad for these five brothers . Instead of saying ' we won't give them our earnings ' , Lin Rui used the word ' won't snatch ' doesn't it mean that the old Lin family snatched their earnings every time they brought some back ? Her nose turned a bit sour after listening to them , of course she had an inkling about the sufferings they face but when she heard them speak of it so casually , she felt her her heart ache for them .

" Alright , I accept your apology but remember to do what you promised or else " she didn't finish her words but glared at them .

Lin Yan and the others saw her red rimmed eyes and suddenly felt warm all over . Looks like their wife wasn't as hard hearted as she presented herself .

" We promise " nodded Lin Rui warning his brothers especially Lin Chen not to say anything about Su Wan 's red eyes lest their wife exploded again.

" Yeah we promise " standing up Lin Yan shyly held his hand out " now that we are done with this apology session , shall we go and eat ?"

Su Wan glanced at Lin Yan 's outstretched hand and then at his red ears and grinned before taking his hand and intertwining their fingers together " Yeah let's go "

Lin Yan blushed even more furiously while all the rest glared at his back enviously .

We too want to hold our wife's hand ! Damn you second brother .
