Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 232 - [Bonus ] How Thick Her Skin Is

Can you all see chapter 227 and 228 ? I made a mistake and pasted the same chapter twice before modifying it to the correct one , some readers can\'t see it so wanted to know if its the same for everyone or just a few ?

Madam Zhang\'s plan would have worked in the past but now this plan was just like a gun with no bullet. Lin Heng had already faced enough cruelty in the hands of Old Grandmother Lin but he still showed her adequate respect because she was still his father\'s wife in name, however after seeing Lin Ze\'s cruelty - he no longer had any hopes for this stepmother of his.

Lin Heng might be a jolly guy but he wasn\'t stupid or else his sons wouldn\'t have such an amazing intelligence either. He was really good at observing people, thus he knew that even if Lin Ze tried to kill him - this half brother of his only has limited guts. It was impossible for him not to tell Old grandma Lin about what he did to him, his elder brother.

Old grandmother Lin must have known what happened with him but instead, she helped her son falsify the evidence and even bullied his family thinking that he was \' dead \'. As long as he remains \' dead \' no one would know what happened.

He understood old grandmother Lin\'s intentions to protect her son and if she only protected him then he would have forgiven her. But the fact that she knew all about Lin Ze\'s actions yet still shamelessly bullied his sons and wife made him so disgusted that he wanted to hurl whatever he have eaten right on her face.

So, no matter how Madam Zhang tried to guilt-trip him. He simply stood by his wife like a pitiful, weak victim who haven\'t even recovered half of his energy after suffering so much. He wouldn\'t say a thing to help these two greedy women - whatever he owed to Grandma Lin, he repaid it the day he saved her son\'s life with his own.

Now, he owed her nothing!

" Lan\'er, I don\'t feel well. My head is hurting and I feel dizzy " said Father Lin with a pitiful expression as he leaned against his wife " Lan\'er help me back to the room, I think - I think I am going to faint, Lan \'er - "

" Don\'t! just keep quiet" said Mother Lin as she worriedly looked at her husband, her eyes were brimming with concern and she hurriedly wrapped her arm around her husband figure that was leaning against her " Ah Chen, go and call Doctor Gu. I think your father is also coming down with the flu"

Father Lin had given his cotton-padded jacket to Qi Zhi thus no one thought otherwise. Lin Chen who saw his father\'s weak and frail complexion that looked even pale under the moonlight, immediately felt anger raging inside his body as he furiously turned to glare at the two troublemakers.

" you better pray that my father remains alright and healthy, or else !"? Lin Chen didn\'t feel any qualms in threatening his own grandmother and aunt, in his eyes, these two women were not worth his time. Or else he would have long taught them a lesson that even their seven generations won\'t forget!

Lin Chen didn\'t finish his warning instead he rushed out of the courtyard, it was already midnight he was afraid that if he went late to Doctor Gu\'s house then doctor Gu might have already fallen asleep.

Lin Chen ran out of the house while Mother Lin and Lin Jing helped, the \'weak \'father Lin.

Su Wan saw the act that her father in law was putting and felt her lips twitch. Why didn\'t nobody tell her that her father in law had full potential of becoming a verified white lotus? Mother Lin and the Lin brothers were honest farmers and have never met such persons who liked to act as? \' white lotus \' but Su Wan who had once fought with her step-sister at every turn of her life could detect a white lotus \' bullshit \' from five miles away. Will she not be able to see through her father in law\'s act? Hah!

Madam Zhang and grandmother Lin\'s face turned grim when they saw that Father Lin returned to his room on the premise of not feeling well, instead of helping them. The two of them were infuriated at the thought of losing his \' support \'.

If Lin Heng didn\'t helo them how will they get the grains?

Madam Zhang poked the old lady who glared at her, just this one glare was enough to make Madam Zhang shrink her neck like a frightened quail. However, her hunger still overcome her fright and she mouthed the words \' green vegetables and rice \' to Old Grandma Lin, who felt her heart ache.

In the end, she silently swallowed all the curses she wished to throw at Su Wan who was staring at her haughtily ( she wasn\'t, it was her usual expression ) and coughed as if she was embarrassed "it is like this, our family grains have been emptied and now it\'s very late for us to go to the town and buy the grains . So, why don\'t you lend us some grains ? We only need to borrow a bit " though Old grandma Lin said it with a smile, her smile looked even more ugly than crying.

Borrow? Su Wan sneered as she looked at the two women who were standing without a shred of their previous arrogance in front of her. She knew that the two of them only chose to become \' humble \' because her father in law didn\'t support them and they lost their most \' important trump card \'.

Her lips mockingly curled as she looked at the two women " a little bit? I wonder what exactly do you mean by just a little bit ?"

Tonight She really wanted to see how \' thick \' this old woman\'s face was.

Old grandmother thought about what Lin Yunxi told her, according to her granddaughter the Lin brothers brought back a cart full of grains, and with those shiny silvers in their hands, they might have no trouble in purchasing another meter of rice even if it became more expensive than before. Thinking that these bastards actually had seven to eight meters of rice, old grandmother Lin shamelessly stretched one finger and said " only one meter and no more - " then she paused before continuing " and Yunxi told me that you have grown some green vegetables as well, a bit of them would be good? too"

Su Wan nearly lost her composure and almost laughed out loud, a meter of rice wasn\'t much in this old woman\'s eyes? Did she even know what the exact price of one meter of rice was at the town currently? And she even has the face to ask for their green vegetables?

Before Su Wan could say Lin Yan whose face was already cold turned completely chilly as he coldly spoke " one meter of rice? Are you out of your tree or do you think we are stupid? Do you know that a meter of rice is being sold for at least four taels of silver! There is no way we are going to lend you one meter of rice, you better go back home "

" what do you mean you can\'t ?" said Madam Zhang immediately, because she was both anxious and enraged her voice turned sharper, " Yunxi told that you guys brought a cart full of grains, even if you take out a meter of grain for our family - you wouldn\'t suffer a loss !"

They won\'t suffer a loss? Did she really say that? In the village, four taels was a family\'s entire years saving even if their family\'s conditions were good it would still take six months or so to save so much money yet sue dared to say that they won\'t suffer a loss? How will they not suffer a loss - if they lend four taels worth of rice to the old Lin family, they could simply think of throwing that rice in a gutter because there was no way with which the old Lin Family will repay them, with no breadwinner in their family how will they return the borrowed grain!
