Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers Chapter 173 - Go With Them

Chapter 173 - Go With Them

Though Su Wan and the others engaged in random chat their hands never once stopped , they continued to work busily around . After a while they have filled several bamboo baskets with green vegetables .

Lin Rui looked at the bamboo basket and then jokingly said " I thought that since the room with the hot spring is not that big , we won't? be able to grow much vegetables who would have thought that the result would be this good . I have seen my brothers work in the fields before but never did those crops grew this fast - the hot spring is really magical , to think it accelerated the growth of these crops so much "

" what are you talking about , don't say such nonsensical words Ah Rui . "chastised Mother Lin , the people in this era were really superst.i.tious so they didn't say words like magic , ghosts or any word that was related to supernatural beings " Ah Jing remember to take this bamboo baskets carefully , you two are alone and I dare not think how troublesome it will be for the two of you to carry this much to the spot? where you can rent an ox cart "

Su Wan too was thinking about this particular inconvenience , the bamboo baskets were a lot and even though she had Lin Jing with her. Su Wan knew she have to carry at least seven to eight bamboo baskets on her back, though it didn't look that heavy but together these bamboo baskets might weigh ton on her back .

However , she had no other choice but to carry these baskets so she could only grit her teeth and let Lin Rui help her load the baskets in a long Kitararu . After they were done loading the Kitararu , Su Wan hoisted it up and almost fell back on her b.u.t.t if not for Lin Rui reaching to help her on time .

" are you alright ?" asked Lin Rui removing the kitararu off Su Wan 's back and putting it down . Su Wan who nearly fell on her b.u.t.t because of some heavy basket , was delivered a heavy blow .. There was a time where she could drag her barbecue cart around the entire town but now she couldn't even pick up a small bamboo? basket with a few vegetables baskets ? What an embarra.s.sment !

Su Wan was ashamed but Mother Lin didn't think that it was too much of an issue after all Su Wan was still young only sixteen ( i wrote fifteen by mistake in earlier chapters) there was nothing to be ashamed off if she couldn't pick up such? a heavy basket , with her small frame and thin arms it was already really good that she was taking responsibility of the entire family.

" Ah Rui , you better go to town with? Wan Wan and Ah Jing . The ox cart has already left this morning who knows Wu Cong is back from the town yet or not - if he isn't wouldn't it be troublesome for your brother and Wan Wan to carry such heavy baskets all the way to the town ?" said Mother Lin as she hurriedly took the Kitararu and helped Lin Rui hoist it up .

Originally Su Wan didn't want to disturb Lin Rui with her selling vegetables plan but she clearly understood that there was no way with her physique she would be able to carry such a heavy basket all the way to the entrance of the village without fainting . If that happened wouldn't it be twice as much trouble for Lin Jing and Lin Rui , so she pursed her lips snd unhappily glared at her small hands . Sigh ~ when will she grow up ( Lin Jing , Lin Yan , Lin Chen , Lin Rui and Lin Yu: we are waiting? for? that too , ya know )

When the three of them reached the place where Uncle Wu usually parked his ox cart , They saw that it wasn't Uncle Wu who was waiting there but instead it was Le Sheng , his son in law? . Le Sheng was leaning against his ox cart and smoking pipe ,when he saw the three of them , he nodded then extinguished his pipe " Ah Brother Jing going to the town with sister in law ? " asked Le Sheng genially

" En " nodded Lin Jing , compared to Su Wan and his family? , Lin Jing hardly ever conversed with outsiders . Su Wan thought that Le Sheng would? be upset but to her surprise he didn't look angry at all , instead he nodded at her with a smile before opening his mouth to continue talking with Lin Jing and Lin Rui .

" this time you are going with your brother and wife , is there something special? ?" asked Le Sheng looking at Lin Rui with a smile .

Lin Rui was a bit embarra.s.sed , he didn't know how to deal with over enthusiastic individuals like Le Sheng but he still nodded and answered with an " En "

" Ah sister in law , I heard from Brother Feng that you are really a good cook . I have been looking forward to coming to your house and leeching off a meal but -" he heaved a heavy sigh then patted his ox cart " but the work load is really heavy , I have to drive this ox cart to the town and back to village three times a day and people don't usually come on time either "f??e?e??૦?e?. c૦?

Su Wan was shocked at Le Sheng 's jolly and good natured behaviour . She thought that since Le Sheng was related to Uncle Wu by marriage he would be just as nasty and poor temper like his father in law but he was completely opposite to his arrogant , foul temper father in law .

" What leeching off brother Le , we are from one village - and you are my husbands friend , you can always come to our house for a meal , where is the leeching off you are talking about ?" Since Le Sheng was nice towards her Su Wan wasn't going to be stingy either , she generously invited Le Sheng to her house for a meal . After all it was just adding another bowl of rice , not much to act petty over .

Le Sheng smiled then slapped Lin Jing on his shoulder " see , you should learn something from your wife . She is so talkative and good natured , why do you need to be so foul tempered and stone face ?"
