Shrewd wife of Lin brothers

Chapter 212 - [Bonus ]deer Caught In Headlights



This experience could be considered their family's nightmare, they lost their house, their land and even lost their parents - if their elder brothers and sister in law didn't arrive on time, they might have lost their big brother too! Qi Mei and Qi Zhi looked down at their elder brother who was fast asleep in Elder brother Yan's embrace and sighed in relief. As long as their elder brother was alive, they will not be afraid, no matter how many hardships they have to go through. With their elder brother here, their hearts wouldn't be unsettled. At least now their life wouldn't be as hard as living as refugees, even if these elder brothers and sister in law don't treat them as a family in the future - at least with Father and brother here they would have a place to stay and food to eat without begging others for charity! 

" Father, Qi Mei, Qi Zhi, let's get off we are here, " said Lin Yan as They arrived in front of their house. Lin Yan hopped off the cart carefully, as he was carrying a Qi Shuyan he didn't dare to move around casually. Lin Jing and Lin Rui hopped down as well, while Lin Yu helped Su Wan down. 

Qi Mei wanted to tactfully refuse Father Lin's outstretched hands. After all, these big brothers had so much luggage to carry, as their elder Father should help them but before she could refuse, Su Wan had already placed her hands around her small tummy and skilfully helped her down the ox cart. Qi Zhi was giggling and waving his small legs as Su Wan tickled him while pulling him in a hug. 

Qi Mei watched the happy expression of her little brother and sighed in relief, looks like these elder brothers and sisters were just as good as Father. 

" What are you all waiting for ?" asked Su Wan as she hugged little Qi Zhi in her embrace, the little boy was too cold even though her husbands had given their cotton-padded jackets to the kids their hands were still cold and their small face was flushed because of the chilly winds. Because Qi Zhi looked like he was only six years old, Su Wan was worried about him getting fever so she was trying her best to warm the little boy - thus she brought him inside her cotton-padded jacket and wrapped it around the two of them. 

Qi Zhi was hugger by her and because he was sharing a jacket with Su Wan he was literally plastered to her body - sharing her warmth. The action was simple and pure but in the eyes of the four over-possessive and over jealous brothers , it was an eyesore . 

So what if Qi Zhi was six years old ? The bottom line was he was a boy ! A boy who will grow up to be a man ! And that soon to be a man was actually hugging their wife and burying his face in her bosom! How unsightly! 

Su Wan didn't know that she unknowingly tripped a vinegar jar over her husbands and simply frowned, as if she was dissatisfied with her husbands " what are you all doing? Do you want Father in law to pick up all the luggage and carry it inside the house ? Hurry up ! You are delaying Brother Le 's  business !"

"it's alright sister in law, " said Le Sheng though he didn't tease the Lin brothers out loud , he didn't hide the twitch of his lips either . Hah , looks like this little girl was the boss of the house ! Haha !

His twitching lips were of course caught by Lin Jing and the others , they all rolled their eyes and snorted .

' Humph , did this brat think that they don't know about how his wife chased him at the docks when he was caught sneaking glances at a pretty rich miss ? What was he looking down at them for ? He was just as henpecked as them !' 

However , Lin Jing didn't say anything thus neither of them said anything either . Following Su Wan 's order, they started to hurriedly take down their luggage . 

" Father let's go inside . You have travelled for so long , come inside and warm yourself up " Su Wan invited Father Lin inside their new house .

But when she knocked on the door , and looked back she realised that behind her was no one - instead of following after her , Her father in law was hiding behind Lin Jing who was like a mountain of muscles . 

" Father in law ?" seeing him act like that Su Wan was a little surprised , why was her father in law hiding behind Lin Jing like a child who was caught doing something wrong and was afraid to be punished ? 

" Father " even Lin Jing was feeling a little helpless behind him he could feel his father twiddling his fingers , he really didn't want to admit that this was his father who once hunted a tiger ! What was with this scaredy-cat move ? What will mother think if she sees him like this ? Looking at Su Wan 's speechless expression it was quite certain that even his wife was feeling a bit awkward . 

" Father ? What are you doing ?" Asked Lin Yan as he walked beside his elder brother , though he spoke softly and gently - the confusion he was feeling right now was palpable in his voice " why are you hiding behind elder brother ? Come out - lets go and meet mother "

" But .. but I look so ugly " said Father Lin still crouching behind Lin Jing who was feeling more and more awkward with each passing second . Was this really his strong , brave and sturdy father ? Why was he acting like a young girl in love ? How sissy !

" Father , don't act like this now " said Lin Yan with an air of an impatient parent teaching his spoiled brat that he can't have a candy for dinner " I asked you if you wanted to freshen up but you insisted that you want to wear the clothes that mother sew herself ! And now you are refusing to come inside because you are afraid mother would despise you ? Are you kidding me ? Then why didn't you change into a readymade clothes ?"

" But the clothes your mother sew are more comfortable and the price of those clothes were so expensive ! Why waste money !" countered Father Lin at once 

" Then you should come inside !"

" But I'm looking so ugly !"

" Then why didn't you change your clothes !"

"Didn't you hear what I said ? I said that they were so expensive !"

" Then why are you being stubborn now ? Come inside "

" But - But I look so bad "

" Father - my dear honourable father " gritted Lin Yan impatiently after a short stunned pause " so tell me what you want to do ? Do you want to stand outside until mother sew clothes for you ?"

" I -"

" Brother what are you doing outside ?" a new voice joined in , they didn't even see when Su Wan went back inside and brought both Lin Chen and Mother Lin out .

" you - what are you doing here ?" asked Lin Yan , though he knew their father will meet Lin Chen sooner or later - but seeing the hot-tempered Lin Chen all of a sudden still threw him off  . 

" This is our home right ?" said Lin Chen with a frown  , not quite understanding what his second brother was trying to say .

" I mean why did you come outside , you even brought mother - aren't you afraid she will get sick ?"

' hah ?' At his second brother's aggressive behaviour , Lin Chen was thrown a little off his loop . He couldn't understand what was his brother actually trying to do " Wan Wan asked us to come here , she said she has a  surprise for us "

Everyone turned to look at Su Wan who shrugged innocently " oh , just get over with it . If this went on we all will freeze to death . Jing ge - step aside "

Lin Chen and Mother Lin didn't understand what Su Wan was saying but seeing the hesitant Lin Jing , they knew something serious was happening - so they didn't say anything and waited for Lin Jing to ' step aside ' . 

Lin Jing looked at his mother who was looking at him with those innocent , beautiful eyes and gritted  his teeth  finally stepping aside . 

Revealing the crouching man , who was stunned and shocked - staring at Mother Lin like a deer caught in headlights .
