Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 722: Gone too far

The old Lin family thought that they were wasting the family money by treating their mother who was like a hollow pit. It was as if his brothers and him were taking advantage of the old Lin family when the truth was that even the old Lin family was relying on them, if they wanted they could have used every cent on their mother if they wanted but they could not.          

The more the old Lin family acted like this the more Lin Jing wanted to take his family away from the old Lin family but they would always pressurise him with filial piety and he would stop, his mother too was too much of a pacifist and did not want to fight for herself, back then if Su Wan did not force them to separate by threatening to divorce them, he was sure that he would have stayed in the old Lin family and let them suck his family.      

Now that they were getting richer day by day, the old Lin family’s attitude was changing as well. He knew what kind of people the members of the Lin family had, they were simply people without any morals, even though the person who only came here was Lin Ze, Lin Jing knew that he came after telling Old madam Lin.      

That old woman did not come because she was afraid that they will refuse her but she did not stop her son either because she was hoping that he will succeed.      

Lin Ze’s expression changed as he looked at his nephew, ” Do you really have to be this ruthless? I accept that I might have gone a bit too far while you all were staying with us but that does not change the fact that we are uncles and nephews. You are living such an easy life but now you do not care about your grandmother? And cousins? Your cousin is getting married and yet you haven’t even come to see her much less help her with her dowry.”      

He then paused and turned to look at Lin Rui with a sharp glint in his eyes. ” And do not forget that there is a scholar in your family, he needs to have a clean reputation to take the elementary scholar exams.”      

Lin Rui understood what Lin Ze was trying to do, his expression morphed into that of cold fury and he said, ” Is uncle threatening my family by using my reputation?”      

Lin Ze saw that his nephews were looking troubled and immediately felt thrilled, looks like the plan that his friend came up with was working, he shrugged and then carelessly said, ” I am not threatening you, what a way to put it?  I am just telling you that this is how it is, if you want to live peacefully then you need to take care of your family as well.”      

As soon as Lin Rui heard this, his eyes went cold. He knew that his family was giving a lot for him to become the elementary scholar which was why he knew that there was no way he could let them down but if someone was to use his reputation as a gamble to force his family into doing something that they did not want, then he was not going to let them do it.      

” Is that so? Do you think that with the sum of money that my family has in their pockets, I need to care about whether I become a scholar or not? Becoming a scholar is my passion, not a need. If you want to accuse me of being unfilial then you can go now and complain to the magistrate. It’s not like if I don’t give the elementary scholar exams I will die but you on the other hand … I don’t think that you will be able to survive.”      

When he lived with the old Lin family, he was clearly the one who was the most talented in studying but the old madam Lin and Lin Ze who were greedy to have the Lin family exempted from paying the taxes and gain the glory by having a scholar as their son, they pushed him to the side and then gave the opportunity to their son, Lin Che. Despite knowing that the man was nowhere as talented as he was.

But the old madam Lin and Lin Ze did not listen to what he was telling them and went on to do what they wanted either way.      

They have already taken his chance once, who cares if they take it away once more?      

Now that Lin Ze was threatening his future and family with his elementary scholar exams, he could not help but glare at Lin Ze with hostile eyes.      

However, just as he was going to do something rude, someone placed their hand on his shoulder and stopped him.     

Stunned, Lin Rui turned to look at Su Wan who was looking at him with a worried look on her face, she shook her head and then stopped him from acting up.      

The malice in his heart that was threatening to come out immediately melted and he felt his heart that was suffocating ease up as well.      

Su Wan did not want to get involved in this matter but when she heard Lin Ze threaten her husband, she couldn’t help but stand up. There was no way she was going to let this man threaten her husband but then she saw her fourth husband’s face turn black, she knew just how dangerous her husbands could be if someone was to push their bottom limit, she knew that if she did not stop him then Lin Rui might do something to Lin Ze.      

Which was why she hurriedly stopped him, she could not her husband become a criminal because of this uncle of his.      

Even though Lin Ze has gone too far, her husband did not have to dirty his hands.      

After all, this man has already forced her husband to give up on his studies once and yet he was here again, threatening him with his studies once again. Lin Rui getting angry was only obvious.
