Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers Chapter 241 - Im Not The Right Person

Chapter 241 - I'm Not The Right Person

Mother Lin took one look at Su Wan's expression and understandingly smiled, after what happened last night, it was inevitable for Su Wan to not be suspicious of Lin Yu given that it didn't take much for her fifth son to lose control. But this matter was something about which she too wasn't very clear about, so it would be imprudent of her to interfere in it.

" Mother, did something happen to Ah Yu ?" Su Wan couldn't forget that chilling expression on Lin Yu's face, she knew that there was much more to her husband than they let the others see and she wanted to find out how exactly ' much more ' was hidden in their personality but if Lin Yu kept on ignoring her than how was she supposed to find about him? Much less about the others.

" what do you mean isn't he fine ?" Mother Lin c.o.c.ked her head and asked, she knew that Su Wan was trying to wrench an answer from her but she was not the right person for this.

" I mean did something happened to him in the past, last night - last night he was different than his usual self, like a completely different person, he looked -" evil and psychopathic, of course, this was something Su Wan kept to herself, she couldn't just tell her mother in law that she thought of her son as a psychopath? Can she?

" A completely different person ?" Mother Lin sighed and then motioned Su Wan to follow her, she took her to her room before patting the chair next to her as she sat down on the exquisite tea table that Lin Jing carved for her a few days ago " we need to talk, I think. Though I can't explain the matter clearly to you because firstly, I too don't have much idea about what happened back then and secondly, it is not my place to tell you "

Su Wan didn't say anything, she simply sat beside Mother Lin. Though she kept looking at Mother Lin with rapt attention that was enough of a show to tell her that she was listening carefully.

Mother Lin smiled gently but Su Wan could see pain and unwillingness flash in her eyes before mother Lin began to speak " ah? Yu was born with a frail body, he was so tiny at the time of his birth that we believed he wouldn't be able to survive. Of course, as a mother, I wasn't willing to watch my son die just like that - so, I fought with Grandma Lin and even instigated your father in law to deliberately hide some of his salary so that we could buy some meat and nouris.h.i.+ng medicine for Ah Yu ."

Su Wan was surprised at this confession she thought that mother Lin was an easily bullied woman but looks like she was wrong. Mother Lin wasn't easily bullied but she allowed Grandma Lin to bully her after she lost father in law - losing her better half must have extinguished her will to live.

Mother Lin however didn't know that her image had somewhat recovered in front of Su Wan's eyes, she was still continuing her story " Ah Yu grew up like a pampered prince, his big brothers doted on him and his sisters loved him to the core. Your father in law was the worst, he spoiled Ah Yu rotten and never allowed anyone to say anything against Ah Yu, nor did he scold him. Things were going good for a few years but then your father was lost in the sea and " mother Lin paused and released a shuddering breath, Su Wan noticed her abnormal emotions and patted the back of Mother Lin's hand in a silent effort to calm the latter.

Mother Lin covered Su Wan's hands with her own and smiling looked up " I'm okay " she rea.s.sured before continuing " That was when everything changed, we had to fight for even the smallest thing so where will we get the money to pamper Ah? Yu ? ah Yu, however, didn't say anything, not did he complained - he was the youngest one but he was forced to become mature quickly. I was trying to earn a stable income for my family and couldn't stay at home for long, Ah Jing and Ah Yan too tried their best to earn a little something here and there. While Ah? Chen and Ah Rui helped in the fields, with Ah? Yu's physique I couldn't send him to fields or ask him to earn money, after all, he was so young and weak "

" But that Grandma Lin, she was born to make things difficult for our family " suddenly Mother Lin 's gentle expression was replaced by a furious one as she gritted her teeth so hard that Su Wan heard them grind " she is like our family's mortal enemy! Even though I and my sons were earning as much as we could, years old lady considered Ah Yu as a good for nothing, she even said that Ah Yu was a jinx and an ill star just because he had a sickly body - but the truth was that she just didn't want to feed an extra mouth who wasn't bringing her money in return !"

" So that Grandma Lin decided to sell Ah Yu as playmate to a high ranking official after my Ah Yu is so pretty and good looking, it's impossible for anyone not to be charmed by his delicate and exquisite looks. When she tried to send Ah Yu away, no one from our family was at home and if my Yu 'er didn't use his wits and ran away from home then maybe I would have lost him forever "

Mother Lin stopped closing her eyes as she inhaled deeply before opening them once again " it was because of this incident that Ah Yu injured himself, he was trying to run away from the servant boy of the official who was responsible for catching him and fell down a cliff on the mountains. When Ah Yu fell not only did he injure his leg, even his face was badly scarred. Once something like this happened that official's servant refused to take Ah Yu with him and took the money that he gave to Grandma Lin with him "

" that old lady became furious, and she started beating the already injured Ah Yu. By the time we got to know about it and rushed back home, Lin Yu was already half-dead, luckily Lin Chen intervened and stopped Old Lady Lin from killing Ah Yu ." Mother Lin sniffed then wiped the tears that were trickling down Su Wan's cheeks " don't cry if you cry those unfilial son would think I bullied you " added Mother Lin jokingly.

" Then - then what happened ?" asked Su Wan as she looked away and swiftly wiped her tears,? but even after wiping her heart was still aching as if someone was stabbing it with thousands of needles. She couldn't understand how can someone be this ruthless and cruel, but then she thought about her father and stepmother and realised that people could really change as long as their benefits were at stake. But somewhere within her grief, she felt uncontrollable anger and rage, never did she think that one day she will see a woman more cruel and shameless than her stepmother and sister but now Old lady Lin had changed her worldview!

Humph! Then don't blame her for changing their entire destiny!
