Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers Chapter 40
Advertisement
The beautiful spring had passed and coming to bid it goodbye was the cold winds of early autumn. Su Wan shivered as the wind rustled past her with cold dew settling down her hair and clothes , it was still early in the morning yet they were walking in the middle of the street in nothing but summer clothes .
The previous Su Wan was really poor despite being the only daughter of a mistress of a big household , thus , the clothes that she packed was also thin and washed out . Every time wind blew past her , Su Wan would involuntarily shivered and clutched on Lin Yu 's arm even tighter for warmth .
Lin Yu who saw Su Wan tremble because of the cold let her lean on to him , even though his heart trembled with a sudden itch . He knew that Su Wan was feeling cold thus , he let her get closer to his body so that she could share his warmth but even this proximity was enough to make his face blush bright red !
Su Wan who was busy looking around in fascination didn't notice the oddity in Lin Yu infact everytime she felt cold , she would rub her hand on Lin Yu 's arm who in turn would blush even more furiously . To Su Wan this action wasn't that bad after kissing Lin Chen in broad light her courage that was restrained because of getting transmigrated in an ancient era suddenly grew even bold and she stopped restraining herself completely .
Not to mention it was really cold ! What was more important paying attention to moral conduct or saving yourself from getting a cold ? Ofcourse it was the latter ! Su Wan didn't want to get a runny nose thus she continued hugging Lin Yu .
Just like Lin Yu the others too have seen that Su Wan was feeling cold , so Lin Rui hurriedly flanked Su Wan while Lin Jing started walking in front of her so that his tall body might be able to block the cold winds . Even Lin Yan who was always on odd with her started walking closely behind her like her personal heater .

Su Wan who was now packed like a precious egg felt warmth bubble in her heart and she finally let go of her remaining anger. Aye , who told her to be so soft hearted? ( lol yes you are really soft hearted , you are so soft hearted that you skinned Grandma Lin )
Together with the Lin brothers who were flanking around her like bodyguards , Su Wan arrived at the embroidery shop that belonged to the original owner's mother.
The shop wasn't small at all .It comprised of two floors , the bottom floor sold the rough and coarse cloth as well as the finished products that the commoners could easily purchased while the second floor most probably sold the high end luxurious products that only those with money could afford .
Despite such an impressive display the shop was deserted with zero customers around . Su Wan frowned and then she looked left then right , the shop was located at the busiest street , the peddlers were shouting , the shops near her shop was filled with hustle and bustle only her shop was desolate and empty .
Su Wan shifted her foot and just as she was going to enter the shop and impatient voice most probably belonging to the manager stopped her " I have already told you that our shop has no extra clothes for winter ! What do you mean by - oh , hello , how can I help you ?"
The woman whom Su Wan assumed as the manager quickly changed her impatient expression and politely greeted her . The woman looked over forty but she had somehow managed herself well , she was really beautiful in a mature kinda way and she was dressed appropriately not lavishly like the rich ladies but well enough to let people know that she was important .
Su Wan arched an eyebrow than she took out the title deed from her cloth bag and showed it to the woman " I'm Su Wan my late mother was the owner of this shop , she was the eldest lady of the old Shen family"

The middle age woman took the title deed with trembling hands and warmly gushed once she examined the title deed and realized it wasn't fake " My lady - oh , my lady you are finally here ! " the middle aged woman dabbed her eyes with her handkerchief as she invited Su Wan and the others inside the shop .
Su Wan and the others entered the shop while the woman guided them inside . She took them to a room which wasn't small but it wasn't big either , except some stools , table and some clothes with unfinished embroidery on them was inside the room .
" Please sit down, miss " said the woman then she turned to look at her assistant and asked her to bring some tea and cakes . Since , Su Wan was indeed thirsty after walking so much she didn't stand on ceremony either.
" Yes madam Cheng " complied the assistant and walked out of the room .
" Its so great , so great that you are here " with voice that trembled under her excitement Madam Cheng shook Su Wan's hand " Miss , if you were two months late , I don't know whether you would have been able to see this shop here "
Su Wan naturally understood what Madam Cheng was getting at , to make someone feel so despaired . Only Su family was capable of doing this !
" madam Cheng , did the Su family cause you trouble ?" asked Su Wan she was so disgusted with the Su family for making a poor woman this despaired that she wished she could change her name !
" Trouble ? If the Su family only brought trouble then it wouldn't be much of a problem . I'm an old widow , what troubles have I not seen ? " said Madam Cheng with a mocking sneer " however , the Su family is not just a trouble making family ! That family is the harbinger of bad luck !"

Gaijin
Gaijin means outsider or foreigner. That goes doubly so for David Wyatt after he found himself in a world being chased by something that looked eerily like a stereotypical Japanese Oni. Now, he has to figure out how he can find his place in a world where most people dislike him on principle. At least everything is also out to eat him in some way… wait, that’s a not a positive. This is a Eastern Fantasy GameLit story. It is primarily told from the main character's perspective with the very common trope of an isekai. There will be my own spin on things, so facts I pull from eastern mythology and legends will be drastically different in some aspects. In the end, this story is just for your and my enjoyment. There will be guaranteed chapters every Friday at 15:00 CST, and I will randomly post chapters at other times when I get in the mood for writing or when I like a particular scene.
