Chapter 621 Dying horse.
” Of course not, Aunt Zi,” Though Su Wan knew that Lin Zi was just joking around with her, she still replied with a sweet smile. ” I am here to take a walk, I finally got a chance to stretch my feet and take a relaxing walk without my protective husbands dancing on top of my head.”Lin Zi knew that Su Wan fully trusted her and Zhang Xiaohui with the fields and was just trying to pull her leg, thus she chuckled and placed the buckets that were full of water on the ground and said, ” You are right, even I get nervous with those three brats fussing over you all the time, I can’t even begin to understand how you manage to handle them.”
Su Wan laughed as she turned to look at Lin Yu and said with a smile. ” Do you hear that, I am not the only one who thinks that you all are being too overprotective.”
Lin Yu, of course, heard her complaint but he simply shrugged it wasn’t that he didn’t want to do anything about it but the thing was that this was their first time becoming fathers, so of course, they will have a hard time getting used to the little existence in Su Wan’s belly.
And given how weak a new life can be, they had no choice but to be a little more caring than others.
Su Wan noticed that he was simply unrepentant and then turned to look at Lin Zi who was arching her back after putting down the buckets of water and frowned. This morning, she has seen Fang Zimo follow after Lin Zi, so how come he was letting Lin Zi carry such heavy buckets of water by herself? She looked left and then right, and her frown deepened even further, though Lin Zi was strong, she wasn’t as young and capable as she might have been when she was in her twenties, after all, going through most of her childhood hungry and malnourished her foundation was a lot weaker than those who got all the nutritious stuff while growing up.
” Aunt Zi, where is Zimo?” Su Wan couldn’t help but get curious because of Fang Zimo’s sudden absence and asked, don’t tell her that he pretended to chase after aunt Zi and then rushed to woo some other woman. From the looks of it, Fang Zimo didn’t look like such scum of a man like that but from her experience, she learned that a man can never be trusted blindly, not unless they show that they are worthy of a woman’s trust.
” Ah, you are asking about little Zimo?” Lin Zi’s eyes widened a little and a surprised expression came on her face as she titled her head and looked over her shoulder. ” Where did he go, he was just behind me… ah! There he is!” She suddenly exclaimed causing Su Wan and Lin Yu to look in the direction where she was looking and what they saw almost made them wish they could look anywhere but at the poor scene in front of them.
Neither was Fang Zimo slacking off nor was he trying to woo another female but as Su Wan stared at his pathetic condition, she wished he was doing something like that instead because then she wouldn’t have felt so sorry for the guy.
With a pole on his back and two buckets hanging on each end, Fang Zimo dragged his feet as he walked towards the melon fields with his tongue lolling out and panting like a dying dog. From the looks of it, his buckets were a lot smaller than the ones Lin Zi was carrying and yet he was in such a terrible situation that even Su Wan felt like she was looking at a sorry sight of a little kid getting bullied.
Lin Yu stared at Fang Zimo’s dying horse-like state and then turned to look at his aunt before he asked, ” Fang Zimo was the one who said that he can carry those four buckets right?”
He more or less understood that flamboyant, overly aggressive and arrogant Fang Zimo better than anyone and knew that the guy must have boasted quite a lot to get his aunt’s attention, or else there was no way his aunt would have allowed that weak chicken like Fang Zimo to carry such a load.
” How do you know that?” said Lin Zi with a questioning glint in her eyes as she turned to look back at her nephew. ” Well, never mind that, little Zimo said that he has been training for quite a while and that was how he has gotten stronger than before that is why I gave him the responsibility to bring the buckets with him, I have to say he is doing much better than before.”
Su Wan: “…..”
Lin Yu: “…..”
This was much better than how was his performance before this?
Su Wan looked at Lin Zi and then at Fang Zimo before asking carefully, ” Did,… Did Zimo use to faint while carrying the water buckets?”
Lin Zi turned to look at her and then shook her head with a smile causing both Lin Yu and Su Wan to heave a sigh of relief but before they could let their hearts settle, she added, ” He used to faint after walking to the river, with him unconscious how can he carry the buckets?”
’Damn they relaxed way too soon!’
The two of them knew that though living a life full of tragedy, Fang Zimo was really pampered by his old mistress but they didn’t think that he was this pampered.
As the two stared at Fang Zimo who was being cheered on by Zhang Xiaohui who was carrying two buckets in each of her hands that were twice the size of the four small buckets combined, they felt that it was too embarrassing. Lin Yu couldn’t even watch anymore as he said, ” I will go and help him out a little.”
That was what he said but in the end, Lin Yu not only took two buckets off the pole, he also emptied the water in the buckets that Fang Zimo was carrying in his before bringing them over to where Su Wan and Lin Zi were standing.
Su Wan turned her head to look away from Fang Zimo and shook her head in regret, if this was how he was going to pursue Lin Zi then he will surely catch her ——- in his next life, that is.
Please show me some support!! My exams are here and I need motivation to continue or I am going to slack off again.
