Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers Chapter 573 Why not?

Chapter 573 Why not?

" Why not?" asked Old madam Shen as she stubbornly looked at her son, her brother was graceful enough to let her adopt his granddaughter when she told him that she really wished to have a granddaughter before she died since she wasn't feeling very good these days. She just wanted to spend some good days with her granddaughter before she pa.s.sed away, it wasn't that she couldn't see that her sons were upset with her decision but ever since she caught a cough last time, her chest has been hurting a lot these days.

She didn't dare to tell her sons that she was feeling sick, worried that they will get anxious because of her bad health, if she could she would have waited for Su Wan to come and see her but currently she wasn't feeling well and didn't know how long she would be able to hold on, all her life she has been living in guilt. Thinking that instead of chasing a comfortable life for her kids, she should have given all her love and attention to her children, at least then her daughter wouldn't have been attracted to a man who only gave her the bare minimum.

Now, her health was slowly deteriorating, she couldn't travel for long and Su Wan's village was at a distance that her doctor has asked her to carefully avoid. Did she not want her granddaughter? Of course, she did! But it was too late for her to start looking for her, even if she tried to travel that far, she might breathe her last in the carriage itself without anyone by her side.

And her sons were simply useless, they couldn't even bring her granddaughter back home. So, how was this his fault? It wasn't!

Shen Tian looked at his mother and sighed an uncountable number of times. " Mother, it's not that I want to refuse but this master is not someone just anyone can meet. Even if you turn up at the place where the master is staying, there is a chance that you won't be able to see him after all, he is someone who is a very conservative person. And it's not like that, you will be the only one who will be going there, the news of the master coming to the Dong Tong town has already spread, I am afraid that the temple where the master is staying will be filled with nothing but people. Do you think that with your age, you will be able to suffer through the jostles and hustle of the crowd? Why don't you stay at home? I don't think that there is any need for you too, well take so much trouble for a girl who might not be adopted in our family."

Old madam Shen's brows furrowed as she looked at her youngest son and asked, " And what do you mean by this?"

Taking out a letter from the pile of doc.u.ments that were scattered on his table, he handed it to his mother who took it and skimmed through the content. After she was finished reading the letter, her face darkened, and why won't her face turn dark? Her eldest son actually wrote a letter like this to her ——

' h.e.l.lo, mother,

I don't know why you are getting yourself in trouble like this, but I think that you should just stay at home and take care of yourself and don't worry about such things. But in case you really want to adopt that girl, then please understand my stand, I am not going to turn up, no matter what happens. So, if you are adopting that girl please adopt her as your daughter instead of granddaughter because you are the only one who cares about her in the family. And have you forgotten how many troubles that Ji family has given us? How can you actually accept someone from their family? I don't want to deal with any troublesome matter and won't be accepting that girl and maybe you shouldn't too if you don't want to regret it in the future.'

"And there is this too." Shen Tian handed the letter that Shen Zizhen sent him, his eldest brothers hardly replied to his letters and even if they do, they would fill them with nothing but nonsense. It was like they still took him as a young boy thinking that if they addressed the letter as 'snotty brat' would offend him. It did offend but he would be d.a.m.ned if he showed it on his face.

However, this time —— his brother not only replied courteously, they even addressed him as Shen Tian rather than ' snotty brat'.

Old madam Shen took the letter from him and skimmed through its content too and by the time she finished reading, she smacked the letter on the floor and stomped on it. Shen Zizhen's letter was not any better than Shen Junxi's but as the eldest son, Shen Junxi has refrained himself from going too out of limits. Shen Zizhen hasn't cared about his mother's face at all instead he has simply called his mother for acting stupidly and even went as far as asking if he should book a room in the temple in the south for her peace of mind.

" Heartless beasts! I have given birth to a bunch of them!" As she stomped on the letters, Old madam Shen snarled. When she was young it was Shen Shui who broke her heart by marrying a crooked man and now it was her sons who were beating her already broken heart. A few days with a granddaughter, was all she wanted nothing more, so why was everyone acting like she was committing a crime?

Did they want her to become a ghost with regrets piled up?

Her chest started to hurt as she got angry, so old madam Shen stopped her childish tantrum and then pointed at Shen Tian before roaring loudly, " I am taking Shan Shan with me, do whatever you and your brothers want, I won't care!" Then she stormed out of the study leaving a highly uncomfortable Shen Tian behind.???e???ｎoѵℯƖ. c?m
