Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers Chapter 10 - Settling Down

Chapter 10 - Settling Down

When Su Wan saw that Lin Rui returned , she hurriedly placed the pot back on the camp fire and let it simmer for a bit before ladling some porridge in a bowl that Lin Yu handed her , she could see that that Lin Rui looked a bit worried but she didn't rush to question him . The poor guy had walked back and forth all around the village searching for a house for them , she wasn't so cold hearted as to rush up for answers immediately .

" Here " she handed him , a wet towel that was already wrung off " wipe your sweat and eat something you look dead on your feet " ??

Lin Rui took the wet towel and looked at Su Wan gratefully , he was really feeling too hot after all he walked around the village with the head in his wedding robes . While they weren't that exiquisite , his brother Lin Yu and his mother did embroidered the entire robes with golden leaves and roses that matched with Su Wan 's golden peonies ( A/n : I was going to write dragon and phenoixe but then I read that the commoners weren't allowed to wear clothes and jewellery with dragon and phenoixe so I changed it ) , hence they were a bit heavy , walking around in them was definitely a lot tiring.

" Thank you " wiping his face , Lin Rui took the bowl of porridge from Su Wan and was naturally surprised when a delicious smell wafted over to him . He swallowed and looked at his third brother who was wolfing down his G.o.d knows what number of bowl and tsked . No matter how tasty, it was at least maintain your manners in front of wife ! Are you not afraid that she will find you disgusting ?

However , all his complains were lost when he bit on the red meat of the shrimp and swallowed the perfectly cooked rice . It was indeed tasty , in the end all of them were men , they could cook but their cooking was crude . Every time they cooked the dishes either became too salty or too bland and except for the second brother no one knew how to control the fire thus if anyone other than Second brother tried to cook , it was certain that the meal would end up getting burned .

Su Wan saw Lin Rui eat and nodded , this was really a gentleman just look at that slow , small bites .. he was eating in such a graceful manner completely different from Lin Chen .

" Wife give me one more !" said Lin Chen holding his bowl as he waited for her to ladle some porridge , Su Wan naturally didn't refused and gave him some but she still warned him as she was afraid that he will over eat " don't eat too much , you still need to have lunch ..it will be more delicious than this "

And she sincerely hoped that it will be more delicious , since she lacked the seasoning the porridge was a bit bland . But when the two elder Lin brothers were leaving , she told them to bring a few seasoning for her , she just wished that those brothers won't forget to buy those seasoning.

" Don't worry wife , I will definitely eat whatever you cook " said Lin Chen with a grin but he still slowed down and started savoring the taste of her shrimp porridge .

Su Wan saw this and didn't knew whether to laugh or cry , if you like it so much she will cook it again there was no need to savour it like that .

" Ah Rui , what's wrong you seem a bit worried " Mother Lin already noticed that her fourth son was worried ever since he returned but just Su Wan she didn't want to rush her tired son , so she waited for him to pad his stomach with some porridge .

" Mother that-"

" Brother , don't tell me yoh failed to buy a house ?" said Lin Chen looking anxious , he naturally was looking forward to his wedding night with his number he have to wait for at least three days and two nights before he could sleep with his wife , if the night was to be pushed ahead wouldn't that be troublesome?

" No , I did buy the house but "

" But what Ah Rui ?"

" But the house is rumoured to be haunted " by the time Lin Rui confessed , his voice had turned so small that his sentence sounded like a mosquito buzz .

" Haunted ? Are you talking about the Ling family house ?" said Mother Lin going white in face before she turned red in anger " Ah Rui ! how can you be so stupid ! You just got married and this is such an auspicious day how can you buy that house and do something so inauspicious ?"

Mother Lin severely reprimanded Lin Rui who bowed his head silently listening to his mother's scolding , no one stopped mother Lin after all she was the adult , it would not be good if they interrupted her while she was teaching her own son .

" Mother I know ..I know that I'm wrong " said Lin Rui with a smile that looked worse than crying " But I too had no choice , you know how villagers don't want to leave their roots , so there aren't many houses and the one that head Luo took me to were to small to accommodate our family of seven in the end only the Ling house was big enough to -"

" But still !" Mother Lin wasn't reconciled and still couldn't help but scold Lin Rui " On such an auspicious day buying that house , aren't you afraid to bring bad luck to your own wife ?"

This was what mother Lin was worried after all , Su Wan was still young and her sons finally brought back a woman that was filial and skilled at household ch.o.r.es , if something happened to her what will become of her sons ? from where will they get a good girl like Su Wan ?

" Mother calm down " said Su Wan as she patted on Mother Lin 's back and handed her a cup of warm water when mother Lin started to cough " I know you are worried about our family but Ah Rui had no choice either , if two women stay together in a broken hut like this , I'm afraid it will be too troublsome "

" Child you are too - ah , what if you get scared ?"

" If I get scared I will come and sleep with mother " Su Wan coyly licked up to Mother Lin

Mother Lin laughed and patted Su Wan 's hand when she was young she always wanted a daughter like Su Wan who will be closed to her but the daughters that were born by her - sigh .

While Mother Lin was easily coaxed by Su Wan her husbands faces were all black.

'Wife is you sleep with mother what about me ?' - Lin Chen , Lin Rui and Lin Yu .???e????૦ѵel. c??
