Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers Chapter 645 Who threw the rock?

Chapter 645 Who threw the rock?

A/n: Had an exam sorry for short chapter

The brothers exchanged a glance with each other before they turned to look at Su Wan. There was a moment of silence for two minutes before Feng Dai who was the closest to them broke the silence and said, " We just wanted to apologise, this everything that's happened is because of us, I —- you just wanted to help us but," he cut off before shaking his head as if he couldn't believe what was happening in the village. " I just never expected that you will get in so much trouble because of us, this was something neither of us wanted and believe us when we found out that the villagers started to believe in Feng Zihang's that's b.a.s.t.a.r.d's words, we came rus.h.i.+ng to tell them off."

" That's right," spoke up Feng Zhai who was silently standing next to Feng Dai, with his long, coa.r.s.e hair tied in a braid and his craggy features turning two degrees softer as he looked at Su Wan. " We never expected that the matter will escalate to this point, we were —- If I knew that something like this was going to happen to you all because you helped us, I would have never let you take care of our fields. A year's worth of hard work is nowhere as important as a woman's honour and respect."

Both brothers were raised by their mother after their father died and thus, they were differently raised when compared to other men. They knew what it meant to respect women and care for children even if they were not theirs, part of their upbringing was the reason they were here to support Su Wan and tell everyone else that there was nothing wrong with Su Wan and her family, if there was anything that was wrong then it was them who was thinking too much about some nonsensical words that were spouted out by a man who was excited because of the arrest of his wife and shaken up by the loss of his family integrity.

" I wanted them to stop talking nonsense about you, sister-in-law," said Feng Dai, unlike his brother who looked a bit sharper with his rugged muscles, tall build and figure that made Su Wan worry a little for her friend, Feng Dai was much more comfortable to talk to, with his normal built, smiley face. Whenever he spoke his bushy brows would jump up and down and a sweet dimple would always be there on his face when his lips stretched just a little wider. " But they seem to be bent on believing that bulls.h.i.+t. Feng Zihang told them. It's like as if the information is giving them a sort of comfort that they have been looking for… one of them even went as far as calling us bootlickers of your family."

Earlier when Feng Zhai and Feng Dai were taking care of the burnt crops the Lin family went past them and said that instead of staying in the fields of a witch they might as well take care of their own. Saying things like ——- if you hurt the fields of the witch, then she will harm your fields as well.

One of the men went as far as to say that his family was probably doing badly because his wife talked bad about the witch and she cursed them.

Of course to this Feng Dai immediately responded with —— 'It's not the witch who cursed your fields, it's your laziness that cursing your fields. Have you seen your tummy? That's as big as a water jar. You do nothing but eat and sleep, without taking care of the crops, are they supposed to grow up without water and fertilisers?'

The man didn't expect that he will be called out in such a startling way by Feng Dai who was always pretty respectful of everyone in the village like that, so he immediately grew fl.u.s.tered and called the Feng brothers the dogs of the Lin family.

Neither Feng Dai nor Feng Zhai was upset with it, instead, they responded to the man very calmly and called him 'Feng Zihang's b.i.t.c.h,' which sent him packing all right?

"I am sorry about that," Su Wan didn't know what to say, in the entire village only the Feng brothers were willing to be supportive of their family. She couldn't even imagine the pressure they might be growing through at the moment, " You don't have to do this, Xiaolin——"

" Xiaolin, will kick us out of the house if she finds out that we turned our back on you," said Feng Dai as he crouched back on the ground and wore his thick gloves to save his hands from being poked by the sharp burnt edges of the crops in the fields. " You should have seen her last night, when we told her, she was like don't you dare turn your back on the Lin family, if you do then don't even think about entering the house for the next three weeks and look for another residence for a while."f???wｅ????e?. c??

" He is speaking the truth," affirmed Feng Zhai as he slipped on his long boots and picked up the long scissors on the ground. " Not that we would have, we know that we should be thankful to people who gave us help when we needed it."

He spoke the last of his words fairly loud making the whispers around them seize at once. The villagers all shut up in a hurry and then looked at each awkwardly before turning their heads away, though the Lin brothers never hired the villagers in their shops they did give a decent earning to either the men of the house or their wives in exchange of either meat or embroidery piece.

It would be wrong to say that the Lin family did nothing to contribute to the current development of the Dong Tong Village and that what the villagers were doing was simply disrespectful.

" Anyway," after he was done speaking he headed inside the fields and said, " We need to take care of these crops you see, if we don't then they might really hurt the fertility of your crops soon."

It wasn't that no one in the Lin family wanted to take care of this charred mess but Lin Zi and Madam Zhang were severely burned when they tried to save the second fields of the crops that almost caught fire by wrenching them out of the fields and throwing it away. As for the others, they were trying to do damage control in their own way, madam Zhu along with the rest of her sisters-in-law headed to the town to discuss with the owners of the house, that Lin Jing wanted to buy. After yesterday night's incident, Madam Zhu decided that it was better for Su Wan and her family to move from this rotten village as quickly as they can.

Something to which Su Wan strongly objected saying that in these conditions she cannot let her fields be left alone, who knows what the villagers might do to them if she were to leave. These fields were not just crops, they were just like her baby whom she carefully nourished and took care of, G.o.d knows how awful she felt when she had to watch her little melon vines whom she raised so diligently, even being so careful not to mess up even a milligram in the fertiliser that she made by herself.

It was like being stabbed over and over and over again in the heart, and if not for her body shutting down on its own, she might have not even slept a wink yesterday night.

After much tugging and pulling, it was her third uncle who said that he will have someone import a bunch of gla.s.s panes from Egypt and build what Su Wan called a greenhouse to safeguard her fields and even hire a burly bodyguard to keep them secured.

Only then did Su Wan agree to live in the town and that was exactly where her third uncle and grandmother has gone so early in the morning to put pressure on the merchant who imported gla.s.s into the country.

" Thank you," said Su Wan as she watched the Feng brothers rip off the burnt crops and pile them in a corner. Both of them raised their hands as if saying there was no need for her to thank them.

Lin Chen too wanted to go and help the Feng brothers but then he heard a loud swoosh of something that was heading their way and he hurriedly turned around with a twirl of his feet and caught the thing in his hand. One look at a thing in his hand and all the warmth in his body left as he shouted, " Who threw this at my wife?"

He coldly swept his gaze at the crowd and looked around carefully for the culprit, causing the entire crowd of villagers including the Feng brothers to pause and look up. When the gazes of everyone fell on the sharp edge of stone that Lin Chen was clutching in his hands, their blood ran dry —— if that stone had hit Su Wan just now then the Lin brothers would have raised the village on their heads, who was the daring one who decided to do something like this?

" I am asking who did it! Aren't you gutsy huh? Come out if you are a sp.a.w.n of one father!" yelled Lin Chen as he glared at the villagers who ducked their heads at once.

This mess they didn't want to get entangled in.

Just as Lin Chen was thinking whether he should go ahead and shake everyone up by the collars of the s.h.i.+rts and ask who it was, a voice answered loudly, " I did it! I was the one who threw the rock because that witch needs to die!"
