Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 5 - Separation

" With this - I\'m afraid you need to pay at least hundred taels to deal with her cold currently " announced Physician Gu as everyone gasped , heavens hundred taels ? With ten taels they could survive for months ! How much was hundred taels ? Wasn\'t this just ripping off Lin brothers to death ? ??

All of a sudden everyone pitied Lin brothers and Su Wan who was entangled in their mess as soon as she married . On the other hand they secretly decided that they will call Physician Gu to treat their children and husbands at once , who dare to leave the cold and let it become so serious ?

" Hundred - Hundred taels to treat a common cold ?" gasped Grandma Lin

" You sure dream beautifully, Aunt Lin " sneered Physician Gu " I said to put off , that is to say if the Lin brothers didn\'t arrange for this much money , Madam Lin will die in six months . As for treating this cold completely it will take months or maybe years , if you weren\'t stingy and let lose a few taels this situation wouldn\'t be so severe !"

When the Lin brothers and Su Wan heard that Madam Lin was in such a grave situation they were startled . Even Su Wan was surprised, she only shot an arrow in the dark who would have thought that the arrow will strike right dead on the centre .

" We will seperate " said Lin Jing with a heavy sigh , his hands were trembling as he controlled himself from throwing a punch at Grandma Lin, to think they worked to bones yet they couldn\'t even treat their mother\'s common cold , letting it to turn so serious .

" You - you want to be unfilial " screamed Grandma Lin clutching on her chest

" Or else? Let our mother die in your hands ?" snarled Lin Chen

This time no one said anything , mother Lin tried to persuade Lin Jing but the latter shook his head and refused to listen . To him , his mother was the most important after all and then he turned to look at Su Wan gratefully , who shivered and shuggered . What was with that heated gaze , don\'t think This lady forgot that glare you just threw at her way !

" Master Luo " greeted Lin Rui as he walked ahead and invited the old man who just got here with a wedding gift in his arms

" Lin Rui what\'s going on ? " asked Master Luo who was stunned at being looked at by the entire villagers , what ? what happened when he was at home ?

" Its like this " with that Lin Rui explained the matter to Master Luo while Lin Yu came to her side and gave her a small smile as if trying to make up for the earlier offence . Su Wan rolled her eyes and ignored him, men they can\'t be forgiven so easily .

" I see " said Master Luo and then shook his head in disappointment " if this is what you want , I will finalize the documents "

" No , I don\'t agree !" shrieked Grandma Lin

" My dear old woman , do you know what you just did? You nearly killed an innocent woman , if my husbands want they can bring you to the Yamen , for adequate punishment , if you still want to fight - lets go we will talk in front of yamen "

When Grandma Lin heard the word Yamen , she turned silent and Su Wan snorted , the fact that grandma Lin turned silent was enough proof that she was guilty .

Soon , Master Luo prepared the documents with the clause that Lin brothers have to pay a total of hundred copper coins to the old lady Lin as filial peity . As for farming lands and house nothing was given to the Lin brothers , and Su Wan who thought she has seen enough shameless people had a chance to refresh her experince when Old lady Lin , refused to pay a single coin to them as she cried with snot flowing down her clothes .

The Lin brothers didn\'t wanted to create anymore ruckus thus , they packed up and brought their mother and her to a small old hut in the outskirts of the village .

Su Wan wasn\'t surprised that they brought her here , with their honest disposition it would be surprising if they saved any money . Thus , She took out the three hundred silver taels that she got from her mother\'s dowry , the shameless Su family had already spent more than half of it and this was the only bit left . To think , she will have to use it so soon .

Su Wan sighed and went to Lin Jing who was chatting with Lin Yan , in low voices . When they saw her approach both of them were surprised after all Su Wan has been ignoring them the entire journey , this was something they didn\'t blame her for after all , they shouldn\'t have shown their anger without hearing what she wanted to say .

" Here , take this buy a house and some farming lands, if possible get a pair of pigs and chicken as well " said Su Wan handing the pouch of money to Lin Jing " Remember to buy mother\'s medicines as well "

" wife -"

" wait , don\'t say thank you to me yet " snorted Su Wan " I\'m not doing this for you, I don\'t want to stay in this old hut that might fall anytime . You have to return this money back to me by earning it all back and this too " she handed him the golden hairpin " buy more farm lands one to plant vegetables and the others to plant some fruits If you are left with a bit of money you should buy a rice paddy too , and bring some household things as well like spices and meat , don\'t save yet .We can earn it back but right now this is necessary "

" I understand , wife " said Lin Jing though his face was blank his voice was hoarse " We will give all our earnings to you in future "

" Earn atleast before making big talk like this " said Su Wan curling her lips then she walked back inside the hut , to take a nap .

" She is kind " said Lin Yan after a pause , though he was relaxed after seperating from the Old Lin house , he was a bit worried about their upcoming days . With thid start up money they can settle down for now

" Yes , she is " nodded Lin Jing agreeing with his younger brother .
