Shrewd wife of Lin brothers

Chapter 548 Pack my bags

The villagers of the Dong Tong village stayed behind while Old madam Lin took her leave with Lin Yunxi.

” Alright, what are you all waiting for now? It’s time for you to disperse, go back! Don’t you have work to do at home?” Lin Zhi saw that the crowd of onlookers were still watching Zhang Xiaohui and Lin Jing who was visibly shaken and hurt by Old madam Lin, thus she immediately broke the crowd up.

The villagers were curious about what exactly happened with An Xia, how in the world that woman who was willing to marry Lin Ze ran away and who was this criminal with whom Lin Ze was in contact with that he was taken to the Yamen, they all wanted to know what was happening but when Lin Zhi directly called them out and asked them to leave, all of them were too embarrassed to linger behind and ask what about the incident. They were being openly chased away will they still have the face to stay behind and ask about the incident?

The crowds immediately broke up and villagers all started to leave one by one. However, there were still some thick-skinned villagers like the old neighbour of the Lin family with whom Zhang Xiaohui didn’t get along with, the woman walked towards Zhang Xiaohui who was wiping the blood off her face with the cloth that Lin Yan has handed and asked with a smile, ” Zhang Xiaohui, are you okay? Were the hits too hard on you? Why didn’t you tell us that An Xia was making things difficult for you like this? You should have told us and we would have definitely come to help you and what happened with that An Xia wasn’t she marrying your ex-husband, how come she actually ran away? And why did the Yamen officers come—- did you really not complain about your husband? It’s alright, you can tell me I won’t tell anyone.”

” Madam Dong, what are you talking about? Can’t you see? My sister Zhang is bleeding so how can she be okay? And she did nothing wrong, it was Brother Lin who made friends with the wrong people and was entangled in a mess, why are you linking the two things together?” Lin Zhi hurried forward and interrupted Madam Dong who wolves nosing in the business of others. ” No matter what happened, it’s not your business so go back to your home!” She didn’t even glance at the ugly expression on Madam Dong’s face and chased away.

As thick-skinned as Madam Dong was she couldn’t stay behind and poke around, so she sniffed and left. 

After everyone left, Madam Zhu’s expression changed as she dragged both Su Wan and Lin Jing inside while she motioned Lin Zhi to bring Zhang Xiaohui inside and close the door. She looked at Su Wan and Lin Jing sternly as she smacked both of them with the fan she always had in her hand. ” Damn you two! Are you stupid who asked you to get out?”  And then she turned to Zhang Xiaohui and smacked her lightly on the shoulder as well, ” and you too, why didn’t you fight back? Just because that woman is your elder, you let her beat you like this? Are you stupid? What if you ended up getting gravely hurt?”

That old madam Lin was worse than a shrew, she was simply an inhuman old devil. First, she called her niece names and then she hit her nephew in law and Zhang Xiaohui. Madam Zhu was so angry that she wanted to smack that woman’s face right and left, if not for the crowd outside she would have given double the beating that she gave to the people of her house!

Shen Junxi worriedly called out to his wife and stopped her, afraid that she might hit someone really badly in her anger. “Wife, don’t be mad.”

He really didn’t expect that the in-laws of his niece were such unreasonable people, his nephews in law must have suffered a great deal under that woman and her son. He couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw that old woman fighting and slandering people with that old face of her, his mother was older than that Old madam Lin yet she was like an aristocratic lady of the capital, her bearings were simply incredible! This was his first time seeing a woman like Old madam Lin. ” don’t worry and don’t waste your energy on that woman anymore. I will definitely settle scores with that old hag sooner or later, don’t worry! I will make her pay for everything that she has done today.”

Lin Chen shook his head and gritted out. ” No, she insulted our wife and hit our eldest brother, if anything we will be the ones who will deal with her!”

The others didn’t say any words of support but they didn’t exactly stop Lin Chen either. It was clear from their stance that the brothers were all very upset with what happened today.

Zhang Xiaohui was helped by Lin Zhi who was wiping her face with a soft cotton cloth. ” Damn that old woman, she has always been like that whenever money and brother were concerned, she would lose every bit of her rationality, it’s so infuriating! Back when my brother wanted to send Che to the academy, she sold me after beating me day and night, now brother wanted to take another wife and was willing to entangle with this or that, instead of stopping him, she encouraged him and when things went wrong —— she still didn’t blame him and came looking for trouble with us!”

Zhang Xiaohui’s old face was badly bruised and with the shame and embarrassment creeping on her, her face turned even more uglier. After suffering so much her personality was now carved by the hard lessons she learned in such a small period of time. With these experiences, her wisdom has increased as well. 

She sniffed as she looked at Su Wan and the others before choking out. ” I will go and get my bags.”
