Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers Chapter 423 - Cantaloupe

Chapter 423 - Cantaloupe

Lord Fei ate and drank his fill, he had never been so happy before while having a meal but tonight while having the meal prepared by his granddaughter.

Lord Fei felt really content. He drank the wine together with Shen Junxi and chatted with the Lin Brothers. Though Lin Chen and the others were shocked by this sudden Grandfather who popped out of nowhere.

They still treated Lord Fei like they would have treated their biological grandfather.

Lin Jing wasn't much of a talker but he still introduced a lot of his hunting tools to Lord Fei and told him his stories of the time when he went hunting.

Lin Chen kept piling food in Lord Fei's bowl and encouraged him to eat more while Lin Yu played his role as the cute mascot of the Lin family.

Even though he was disgruntled being treated like a child. He didn't complain as long as Lord Fei liked it.

Lord Fei looked around the bustling table and then thought about the long silent table at his home. A sense of satisfaction rose in his heart. See he wasn't wrong in making this decision! Everything was well and good with the granddaughter by his side.

Su Wan's might has grown with a first rank official as her grandfather but she didn't think much about it and simply acted as she would have usually acted without any reservation or bounds.

She would not like to suppress others with a powerful backing so she treated Lord Fei like she treated everyone else.

Sometimes in between, she would place food in his bowl and chat with him a little about herself but that was it. She didn't act politely or treat the other with overly cautious behavior.

But that only pleased Lord Fei even more! A family would never treat each other with courtesy. If his granddaughter was so friendly with him it meant that she has accepted him as her G.o.d grandfather!

"Eldest Uncle were you able to find the thing that I asked you to look for?" Su Wan who has finished eating her meal put down her chopsticks.

Her appet.i.te was good but compared to her Husbands and Eldest Uncle who ate like they have been starving for many years. Her appet.i.te was like that of a bird. By the time she has finished her dinner the others were still eating. Even the young Qi siblings!

Shen Junxi swallowed a mouthful of rice and drank a gulp of his tea before thumping his chest to clear the pa.s.sageway. He had eaten a lot in just one go and now he was choking on his food.

Fortunately he had Madam Zhu who thumped on his back and his breathing regulated by a significant degree.

Only then Shen Junxi was able to answer Su Wan's question. "I have asked my friend who works in the capital. However he has never heard anything like that before. He even asked me from where I heard about such thing. Wan Wan are you sure that there is indeed something like that?"

A few days ago Su Wan had asked Shen Junxi to bring her the seeds of a rather weird thing that he couldn't make head or tails about.

He had thought that Su Wan was mistaken about the name of that thing but she insisted that she had heard about the thing and that it was rather delicious to eat.???e???????l. ?o?

Shen Junxi couldn't understand from where did Su Wan hear about that thing about which even his friend in the capital didn't know about.

Sometimes he couldn't help but wonder how his niece knew so much about such weird things that no one knows about.

"Eldest Uncle you have to believe me! There is indeed such a thing and only if we can find about it then we will be able to make a good living!"

Su Wan had asked Shen Junxi to bring her the seeds of cantaloupe which was later on called melon' in the modern world.

Melons were sold at a high price in her times, as long as it was sweet and carefully grown. The customers of those fruit shops were willing to pay a lot of money to buy them. (it's expensive in my city, we hardly ever eat it. My dad brings watermelon instead of melon, although I don't see the hype).

She was sure that cantaloupes were discovered around the fifteenth century. So how come she still couldn't find its seed? Was she really wrong?

Melon was a great fruit to eat in the summer she had thought about it a lot before coming up with this plan but looks like it's going to fail!

She was really unhappy and because she was unhappy, her pouty lips became even more full as she sullenly pursed them. In the entire history, no one has ever been able to ignore the woes of a beauty. Immediately all at once the Lin Brothers turned their focus to Su Wan and started to cajole her.

"Wan Wan there is no need for you to be upset about such a thing." said Lin Chen as he rushed to sit beside Su Wan pus.h.i.+ng little Qi Shuyan away.

Thankfully Shuyan was a good-tempered kid and simply picked his bowl and moved to brother Chen's seat.

It was better to compromise than fight with his older brothers. As long as sister-in-law was concerned. His five brothers can become lawless -was there great gratification that came from pus.h.i.+ng and bullying them?

"Ah Chen don't be so mean!" chided Su Wan when she saw that Lin Chen nearly pushed Qi Shuyan from his chair. "You cannot bully Little Shuyan! He is still a child how can you bully him like that?"

"But he doesn't mind it Wife." then turning to look at Qi Shuyan, Lin Chen added with a glare. "Do you mind? You don't right?"

Qi Shuyan: "….." like I would say anything while you are glaring at me like that!

Qi Shuyan inwardly cursed Lin Chen for being a little too much but he still smiled and good-naturedly said. "It's fine sister-in-law. If Third Brother wants it, he can have it. I won't complain and create unnecessary trouble because of such a small thing."

Lin Chen "….." Though I feel like I have won. What's with this sense of defeat?
