Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers Chapter 5
Advertisement
When Grandma Lin and Aunt Lin heard what physician Gu said , they both were scared stiff . In all honesty they didn't called for physician Gu instead they called a hullabaloo of a doctor so they didn't have to pay much and as for meat and protein dishes, even their precious Lin Che couldn't eat his fill how can they let another mouth snatch it off from his mouth ?
" With this - I'm afraid you need to pay at least hundred taels to deal with her cold currently " announced Physician Gu as everyone gasped , heavens hundred taels ? With ten taels they could survive for months ! How much was hundred taels ? Wasn't this just ripping off Lin brothers to death ?
All of a sudden everyone pitied Lin brothers and Su Wan who was entangled in their mess as soon as she married . On the other hand they secretly decided that they will call Physician Gu to treat their children and husbands at once , who dare to leave the cold and let it become so serious ?
" Hundred - Hundred taels to treat a common cold ?" gasped Grandma Lin
" You sure dream beautifully, Aunt Lin " sneered Physician Gu " I said to put off , that is to say if the Lin brothers didn't arrange for this much money , Madam Lin will die in six months . As for treating this cold completely it will take months or maybe years , if you weren't stingy and let lose a few taels this situation wouldn't be so severe !"
When the Lin brothers and Su Wan heard that Madam Lin was in such a grave situation they were startled . Even Su Wan was surprised, she only shot an arrow in the dark who would have thought that the arrow will strike right dead on the centre .

" We will seperate " said Lin Jing with a heavy sigh , his hands were trembling as he controlled himself from throwing a punch at Grandma Lin, to think they worked to bones yet they couldn't even treat their mother's common cold , letting it to turn so serious .
" You - you want to be unfilial " screamed Grandma Lin clutching on her chest
" Or else? Let our mother die in your hands ?" snarled Lin Chen
This time no one said anything , mother Lin tried to persuade Lin Jing but the latter shook his head and refused to listen . To him , his mother was the most important after all and then he turned to look at Su Wan gratefully , who shivered and shuggered . What was with that heated gaze , don't think This lady forgot that glare you just threw at her way !
" Master Luo " greeted Lin Rui as he walked ahead and invited the old man who just got here with a wedding gift in his arms
" Lin Rui what's going on ? " asked Master Luo who was stunned at being looked at by the entire villagers , what ? what happened when he was at home ?
" Its like this " with that Lin Rui explained the matter to Master Luo while Lin Yu came to her side and gave her a small smile as if trying to make up for the earlier offence . Su Wan rolled her eyes and ignored him, men they can't be forgiven so easily .
" I see " said Master Luo and then shook his head in disappointment " if this is what you want , I will finalize the documents "
" No , I don't agree !" shrieked Grandma Lin
" My dear old woman , do you know what you just did? You nearly killed an innocent woman , if my husbands want they can bring you to the Yamen , for adequate punishment , if you still want to fight - lets go we will talk in front of yamen "

When Grandma Lin heard the word Yamen , she turned silent and Su Wan snorted , the fact that grandma Lin turned silent was enough proof that she was guilty .
Soon , Master Luo prepared the documents with the clause that Lin brothers have to pay a total of hundred copper coins to the old lady Lin as filial peity . As for farming lands and house nothing was given to the Lin brothers , and Su Wan who thought she has seen enough shameless people had a chance to refresh her experince when Old lady Lin , refused to pay a single coin to them as she cried with snot flowing down her clothes .
The Lin brothers didn't wanted to create anymore ruckus thus , they packed up and brought their mother and her to a small old hut in the outskirts of the village .
Su Wan wasn't surprised that they brought her here , with their honest disposition it would be surprising if they saved any money . Thus , She took out the three hundred silver taels that she got from her mother's dowry , the shameless Su family had already spent more than half of it and this was the only bit left . To think , she will have to use it so soon .
Su Wan sighed and went to Lin Jing who was chatting with Lin Yan , in low voices . When they saw her approach both of them were surprised after all Su Wan has been ignoring them the entire journey , this was something they didn't blame her for after all , they shouldn't have shown their anger without hearing what she wanted to say .
" Here , take this buy a house and some farming lands, if possible get a pair of pigs and chicken as well " said Su Wan handing the pouch of money to Lin Jing " Remember to buy mother's medicines as well "
" wife -"
" wait , don't say thank you to me yet " snorted Su Wan " I'm not doing this for you, I don't want to stay in this old hut that might fall anytime . You have to return this money back to me by earning it all back and this too " she handed him the golden hairpin " buy more farm lands one to plant vegetables and the others to plant some fruits If you are left with a bit of money you should buy a rice paddy too , and bring some household things as well like spices and meat , don't save yet .We can earn it back but right now this is necessary "
" I understand , wife " said Lin Jing though his face was blank his voice was hoarse " We will give all our earnings to you in future "
" Earn atleast before making big talk like this " said Su Wan curling her lips then she walked back inside the hut , to take a nap .
" She is kind " said Lin Yan after a pause , though he was relaxed after seperating from the Old Lin house , he was a bit worried about their upcoming days . With thid start up money they can settle down for now
" Yes , she is " nodded Lin Jing agreeing with his younger brother .
