Shrewd wife of Lin brothers

" Quick, you two bring your eldest brother and Wan Wan to their rooms" once everyone left, Mother Lin ordered Lin Yan and Lin Chen to take Su Wan and Lin Jing to their rooms. Though Su Wan wasn't hurt, in Mother Lin's opinion it was better for her to take a rest as for Lin Jing who was covered in injuries and scratches, they needed to take proper care of him.  Though Su Wan gave him first aid in the cave it was better for Doctor Gu to check on him, thus she looked at Lin Rui and asked him to bring Doctor Gu.

Lin Rui naturally didn't refute, he too was worried about his eldest brother and wife, so he acknowledged his mother's words and immediately started walking  out of the house to bring Doctor Gu but before he could leave Lin Jing stopped him from going out.

Lin Jing couldn't help but feel suddenly distressed at the thought of letting his fourth brother go out of the house in such a cold weather and hurriedly spoke up " mother, there is no need to trouble fourth brother. Look the weather is so cold, he might catch a cold if you let him run around like this and as for my injuries they are nothing but superficial wounds, you don't need to worry about them they will heal on their own"

But how could Mother Lin listen to him? She rolled her eyes and harshly chided him for treating his severe wounds so lightly " what do you know? Even if Wan Wan treated your injuries, there is no need for you to act so toughly! You should at least let doctor Gu check on your injuries nonetheless to avoid any problem in the future ."

" mother is right, Jing ge," said Su Wan agreeing with Mother Lin at once " even if I know how to simple first aid, I don't know how to clean wounds if we don't let Doctor Gu check your wounds then it will troublesome. Who knows if your wounds need some cleaning so as to avoid festering of the wounds  in the future?"

"  brother you don't need to worry, I am not that frail that I can't even walk around the village and bring Doctor Gu, " said Lin Rui sounding a little helpless, he was no longer the weak and sickly Lin Rui from the past anymore and even if his aura was more of a weak scholarly, he still had a strong yet lean build dammit! This was the reason why Su Wan always considered him as weak, it was all thanks to his brothers who pampered him like a little princess. It was just rounding around the village and bringing doctor Gu, was there any need for his big brother to act like this?

" don't worry eldest brother, Doctor Gu just went to the Old Lin family because our dear c...cousin made a fuss about his legs h..hurting a lot " said Lin Yu with an eye roll, sounding annoyed " Doctor Gu was waiting for you two but then our dear Uncle came in a rush and made a fuss saying that Lin Che was dying and he needed Doctor Gu to check up on him ."

Months ago Lin Che encountered a mob of refugees and was beaten up, though his injuries were indeed severe, his condition was nowhere as serious as his eldest brother who fell from a cliff during his fight with the wolf. Not to forget, the incident took place months ago, how in the world did his injuries start to ache so conveniently on the same day and time as his eldest brother's accident? It was clear that the old Lin family was trying to create trouble for no reason for their family, Lin Yu was assured that Lin Che was alright and the Old Lin family was just trying to create fuss because they wanted to make things difficult for them.

Mother Lin frowned and shook her head and lightly reprimanded Lin Yu " Don't speak about such things anymore. ... If someone hears you speak ill of the Lin Family they might start calling you a bad child who wishes ill upon his own cousin, no matter what - it's bad to have any more rumours about our family"

Lin Yu sneered and grumbled unhappily " it's not like I've said so...something wrong. The old Lin family knows what they are trying to do, so on what basis they will call me a bad child? They are nothing but a bunch of trouble makers " 

'and if I really wished ill of my cousin, I wouldn't have just ' wished ' for it, I would have made it his reality 'snorted Lin Yu inwardly.

Mother Lin looked like she wanted to say something but then they heard an unfamiliar voice calling out to them from the front door " Is this where brother Lin Rui lives? Did I come to the right place? "

Su Wan twisted her head and looked at the new visitor, the young man who was calling for Lin Rui looked a little familiar and she couldn't help but wonder where she saw him the last time. He was dressed in an impeccable and clean uniform and seemed to be carrying a letter in his hand, just one look and one would know that this person came from an important family. 

" Hello? Yes, you have come to the right place. I'm Su Wan, Lin Rui's wife and this is my husband Lin Rui, how can we help you? " Su Wan couldn't recall where she saw the man but she still had to properly greet the person in front of her as the mistress of the house.  So she smiled sweetly and asked.

The man in front of them smiled and then handed the letter in his hands to Lin Rui before speaking" Brother Rui, sister in law it seems you have forgotten me.  I am Qian Wu, I was with Headmaster Yuan the last time When you were selling vegetables in the town, my master sent me here because he wanted me to pass this delightful news as soon as possible" then turning to Lin Rui, Qian Wu bowed and congratulated him " brother Rui, you have succeeded. Not only did you pass the academy's entrance examination you are also the top scorer! Headmaster Yuan says that he looks forward to seeing you in the academy!"

" Ah Rui passed the exam? And he is the top scorer ?" Father Lin who heard the news was so excited that he couldn't help but embrace Mother Lin who was stunned by the news. It was only when her husband hugged her in front of their children did she got over her shock and slapped his hands blushing furiously as she chided him for being too shameless.

Father Lin wasn't the only one who was excited, everyone else in the Lin family was overjoyed as well. Lin Rui who was holding the entrance letter with a stupefied expression, completely lost count of how many times his back was slapped and how many times his brothers hugged him.

However, one hug was different from the rest, Su Wan who approached him hugged him but she didn't congratulate him with words like ' you did it Rui!' or ' I can't believe you made it !' instead she hugged him and softly murmured in his ears as she patted his back " I knew you will succeed"

And that was when Lin Rui hugged her back, no one else but her because she had confidence in him when he couldn't even trust himself - the letter came too late and he was beginning to think that he failed, but Su Wan always said things like 'why are you studying when you are going to pass with flying colours ?' or ' are you trying to prove that we all are idiots? I can't even understand a thing you are revising about! How can God be so unfair and make you so smart ?'

She always had faith in him, and today he finally succeeded, he made it!
