Shrewd wife of Lin brothers

Chapter 414 – Why Do You Need To Hurt Me Like This?

Su Wan didn't know what was happening in the town, and she didn't have any idea that her Second Uncle was on his way there to see her but Shen Junxi who was the one who sent the letter knew what kind of storm he had invited in.

He didn't want to meet his second brother but there was nothing else he could do- should he leave?

No, if he left then that weird crazy bastard will have Wan Wan all to himself. Should he call his third brother- no, that one was even worse than the one who will be coming here in a few days.

At least Shen Zizhen was a straightforward businessman who only knew how to be scheming in the business field. 

His attacks were similar to his ways of dealing with people – straightforward and ruthless but his third brother, that was one sly fox. 

If he found out that he hid Wan Wan and didn't tell him about her accepting them. Then he will straight up rush to their mother who will beat the heck out of him. 

Compared to the three brothers, his mother loved Su Wan more- just like she loved Shen Shui her only precious daughter. 

"What's wrong with you?" The first thing that Madam Zhu who was working in the kitchen with Su Wan saw upon entering her room was her husband who was pacing around the room with his fingers in the mouth, chewing on his nails.

"Did something happen at the butchery?" Madam Zhu disregarded that possibility, her husband wasn't someone who ran after riches so it made no sense that he would worry about any kind of materialistic losses. 

"What did you do?" If it wasn't the matter of money then it could only mean one thing this husband of hers just made some kind of mistake or maybe caused some trouble for himself that he can't handle other than that she couldn't think of anything else.

Shen Junxi wanted to tell her that it was nothing but he knew that his wife knew him better than anyone else so there was no point in hiding it from her.

He hesitated for a moment. "ldidn'ttellsecondbrotheraboutWanWan." Feeling relieved after blurting it all in one go, without taking even a pause. 

Madam Zhu of course couldn't understand the gibberish that her husband said just now. She constrained him with a threatening glare before speaking. "What did you just say? Repeat it but this time slowly, I want to hear what kind of trouble you have caused."

Shen Junxi felt his lips twitch. He was such a big man, with his thick and burly built even those husbands of Wan Wan would think twice before speaking.

Yet his little wife was like a tyrant, she didn't even think twice before commanding him like he was a soldier and she was his general. 

However, the damage was done so he could only inhale a deep breath before repeating what he just said. "I didn't tell my second brother about Wan Wan." Then he explained all about why he had to do it. "That's what happened."

Madam Zhu looked at him like she staring at a fool and she irritatedly rubbed her temples. "Junxi do you not know how much your brothers want a daughter? Especially second brother? He has been dressing his sons as a girl for so long. How can you keep this matter from him?" 

Shen Junxi lowered his head like a guilty child and aggrievedly said. "That's why I didn't want him to know! He will take all of Wan Wan's attention! You know how treacherous that guy is -"

"But you still shouldn't have hid this matter from him!" Madam Zhu sometimes felt like her husband was like a child no wonder he get along with Lin Chen so well. 

The two of them are just the same! Made from a very similar mold. If not for the age difference, she would have doubted whether Lin Chen and her husband were long lost brothers.

"I can't even say anything to you. You are just plain stupid .. why do you have to mention the fact that you were staying at Wan Wan's place for a very long time? Couldn't you have just made an excuse and randomly pulled a far fetched story? When you return home from a drinking banquet, you tell me rather fantastic stories despite knowing how much I hate it when you drink in those dodgy places so what happened to your imaginative brain now?"

"I -I couldn't help but boast a little." Even Shen Junxi was regretting it. 

Among the three Shen brothers he was the one with the least amount of talent so he was often scolded by his mother and his younger brothers teased him a lot. 

So now that he had done something that was faster and smarter than the two of them, he thought he was on up the two. 

He was the one whom Wan Wan called 'Uncle' first, she even hugged him first in the family. How can he let go of this opportunity to boast?

He was so excited that he didn't think of the consequences and simply did what he wanted to do absentmindedly. Only after sending the letter did he realise that he just hopped on an axe instead of dropping it on his foot!

Madam Zhu stared at her husband for three whole seconds before she shook her head. "Idiot that's what you are."

"I know, I know. I was wrong but while what should I do?" He bit his lower lip casting a 'wife please help' look pitifully at Madam Zhu.

Madam Zhu thought about it for a while then very seriously spoke. "Dear why don't you go and ask Doctor Gu to give you medicine for healing a butt bite? At least right now you can make an excuse. But once Second brother-in-law arrives I am afraid that it will be quite embarrassing for you to limp all the way to his house and ask for medication."

Shen Junxi: "…." why do you have to hurt me like this?
