Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers Chapter 6
Advertisement
The Lin brothers soon divided the work between the five of them, Lin Rui was given the responsibility to buy the house and farming lands , as among the five brothers only he was the educated one . Lin Jing and Lin Yan decided to make a trip to the town to get Mother Lin 's medicines and a set of piglets and chicken and if some money was left , they might get a pair of ducklings as well .
Lin Chen as the sturdy one was sent to the forest to chop fire woods while Lin Yu was left to guard Su Wan and their mother .
Lin Yu wanted to help his brothers but then he looked at his limp leg and sighed , with him like this he might as well bring more trouble to his brothers than help .Thus , Lin Yu set down at the front door with a thick stick in his hands .
While the Lin brothers worked themselves to death running around, Su Wan closed her eyes and napped , she was up and about at four in the morning and with all the hullabaloo at the Lin family , she was dead tried .
This life , She wasn't going to tire herself to death ever again , after all she has five husbands now , with them here if she has to work until her bones ached and her body cried , then she might as well live alone !
While Su Wan slept , Lin Rui met with master Luo the head of the Dong Tong village . Head Luo wasn't surprised with Lin Rui's visit after all the five brothers were kicked out of their house and they had a newly married wife and a sick mother to worry about .
" Ah Rui , I know that you came here for renting a house but you know how things are now , you brothers have a shared wife now , some villagers don't look at this kinda situation preferably " sighed Head Luo heavily , rubbing his face with his hand " and there is much space in their houses to adjust you five brothers including your mother and wife , if you want I can -"

However , Lin Rui didn't listened to Head Luo's compromise , he knew that their situation wasn't good . Though they were honest and hard working , the entire village knew that they were penniless , no one will dare to give them shelter in such a situation after all feeding a family of seven was no joke .
" Head Luo , I'm not here to rent but buy a house " said Lin Rui with a gentle smile , among the five brothers , Lin Rui was the most approachable with his scholarly aura . Lin Yu was a bit reticent because of his injury , while Lin Jing was a man of few words , Lin Yan was cold and indifferent and Lin Chen was quick to get angry . Thus , whenever the brothers had any matter which required negotiating , they will send Lin Rui as their spokesperson .
Just as the brothers expected when Head Luo saw Lin Rui smile in a gentle and calm way , he too calmed down and released a heavy sigh . As the head of the village , it was his responsibility to manage the peace of the village , Head Luo was infact rather fond of the Lin brothers and wanted to help them but he too had a daughter who was entranced by Lin Rui , Head Luo was worried that his daughter might end up doing something regretful if he let the Lin brothers in his house .
He couldn't shelter the Lin brothers and if he couldn't set an example , there was no way he could force the others to give the Lin family of seven a shelter .
Thus , when he heard that Lin Rui was here to buy a house, he was visibly relaxed .
" Buy ? You want to buy a house?" though Head Luo was relaxed he was surprised that the honest Lin brothers had private savings .
" Please don't misunderstand , head Luo " said Lin Rui understanding the expression on Head Luo 's face " The money came from my wife's dowry , she is the one who gave the money and I would like to have the house deed named after her "

Lin Rui had a sense of propriety, even though Su Wan was their wife , she was still an independent individual who deserved their respect . He knew that he couldn't step on her good will by naming the deed after them or their mother .
" I understand " Head Luo was a smart man , he knew why Lin Rui mentioned Su Wan after the farce in the morning , Su Wan 's good name was sure to blacken infact he already heard his daughter complain about Su being a shrew to his wife and how it was a shame that a gentleman like Lin Rui had to cope with a shameless wife like her .
Though he scolded his daughter and warned her not to talk carelessly, he knew that his daughter was spoiled rotten by his wife and wouldn't listen to him .
" There are a few old houses for sale , their owners left to settle in the capital , if you want I can help you check -"
" Ah Rui , you are here !" a shy voice called from head Luo 's behind and Lin Rui frowned as he saw , a girl in vibrant pink skirt and yellow blouse rushing towards him " Ah Rui , when did you arrive? You should have told me that you were coming here , come on in , I will serve drinks "
" No , its alright " Lin Rui politely refused , he didn't know why Luo Chenxi , still stubbornly called him Ah Rui , after all they were kids when he met her and now that he was married, Luo Chenxi should have learned to call him either Lin Rui or fourth Lin but instead she still called him Ah Rui, ignoring Luo Chenxi , He turned to look at Head Luo " shall we go , village head ?"
Head Luo saw how Lin Rui called him village head distantly and his face expression worsened. Not because of Lin Rui but because of his daughter , Lin Rui had made it clear in every possible sense by distancing himself from Luo Chenxi , that he wasn't interested in her but his daughter , Aye , maybe he should have spent more time with this stupid daughter of his .
" But Ah Rui-"
" Ah Rui and I have important matters to discuss , Chenxi go inside " taking a deep breath village head Luo ordered Luo Chenxi who looked at him stubbornly , not wanting to obey " Go inside now !"
Only when village head Luo shouted did Luo Chenxi ran back inside but even then she didn't forget to look at Lin Rui in an aggreived manner .
" I'm really sorry about her , I - my wife spoiled her a bit too much" said Village head Luo sounding quiet embarrassed
" Its alright " Lin Rui didn't want to comment on other people's daughter thus he smartly ignored whatever village head Luo was saying " so can I see the house ? My family has no place to stay for the night , I will be really thankful , if head Luo can help me to settle this matter as soon as possible "
" Oh yes , yes - the house . Come with me, I will show you around " when Lin Rui tactfully changed the topic , Village head Luo changed his tune as well , he hurriedly beckoned Lin Rui and walked out of his house .

The boy who fell in love with a tree
This is a story about a boy who fell in love with a tree… A story about powerful people changing the rulebook to stack the odds and line their pockets… I aim to create a story that will transport us so we get a glimpse of what that boy felt. The first 4 Chapters might be classified as a prologue depending on how you look at it. The boy quickly grows and the story really starts when the System arrives on Earth. I’m trying to achieve a relatively slow power progression and guide what we learn at a pace following the people in the story. There will be fighting but It’s more focused on base building. The MC is not all-powerful and all-knowing but he has some significant advantages. I’m trying to create a universe that makes sense in its own context. Much of what you will find, are my own world views, in a magnified way, as to make it for interesting fiction. The story took a life of its own when I started to write and I’m really happy with it. Not all of the tags I have marked will immediately be applied. There is stuff planned for far in the future such as the Sci-fi tag. There might be some cursing and gore but it is not very often. -------------- English is not my primary language, so I ask everyone to be forgiving. If you see a glaring error I would appreciate a msg but it is not feasible to fix everything. And if the story offends you, I wish you happiness, reading what you enjoy. ------------- Img link: https://unsplash.com/photos/EwKXn5CapA4
