Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 244 - [Bonus ] Lin Che Is A Jinx

"Brother Lin sure doesn't give up on a single opportunity to shy away from his responsibilities " sneered Lu Ran as he wiped his face and threw Lin Che at Lin Ze " I'm not the one who did this to your son, he was robbed of money by the refugees and was beaten in a fight with them - say, brother Lin, with such a healthy body your son couldn't beat a few scrawny refugees ?"

Lin Ze's face flushed at Lu Ran's mockery however, he was currently holding on to his son's fat body and was feeling subtle jabs in his legs. He wanted to push Lin Che away but was afraid of hurting his son, so he could only grit his teeth and man up - after all in the face of such blatant mockery he couldn't just cry in pain right?

Madam Zhang and Old grandma Lin heard Lu Ran and their sobs stopped like someone had put a stopper on it. The two of them looked at Lin Che's injuries and gulped, with this many injuries they will have to fork out a lot of money? If Lin Che was robbed off then how will they pay for his treatment?

Old grandmother Lin's eyes turned and her mind started calculating, she immediately jumped on her feet and pointed at Lu Ran " What evidence do you have that my grandson was beaten up by the refugees? Maybe you couldn't wait for Ah Ze to return the money and snatched it from my grandson! You are the one who did this to him, didn't you ?"

"yes! Yes! It must be you " Madam Zhang immediately supported her mother in law, forget about treating Lin Che they didn't even have the money to eat a decent meal. If they failed to get money from the Lu brothers what will happen to her Lin Che? Just the thought alone was enough to fill her with fighting spirit " you must have harmed my son since you harmed him then you will be responsible for treating him, don't even think about shrieking away from your responsibilities !"

Lu Ran calmly watched the two shameless women as they continued to put on a show, then spoke up " if you think that we were the one who hit then let's go to the Yamen, I have already reported the matter to the officers there, I knew that your family will make trouble for us thus I already took precautions "

Then he took out the copy of the report that he got from the Yamen office and threw it at Lin Ze" read carefully, I was the one who saved your son and even brought him to a medicinal hall to save his life. If not for me and my brothers, your son would have died - the total treatment was around three taels so pay up "

" Three taels? Are you trying to rob us? Even if you skin me alive you wouldn't be able to get three taels from our family !" Money was Grandma Lin's bottom line, just the mention of it was enough to send her in a frenzy. So when Lu Ran said that their family owed him three taels, Grandmother Lin immediately started throwing a tantrum.

" It doesn't matter if you don't pay me but if you don't pay me then I will bring the Yamen runners to your house, don't forget that I have a written document from the Yamen itself !" Lu Ran was long aware of the old Lin family's talents and knew that he could wrench his money out of a tightly shut clam but from them -impossible!

Thus, Lu Ran didn't just stupidly save Lin Che, first, he brought the Yamen runners to the place where Lin Che was lying then reported the matter including the fact that he used his family's savings to save him and made the Yamen runners write it all in the report. Thankfully, he used his brain first instead of using his heart or else - hehe.

When Old grandma Lin heard that Lu Ran actually had a document verified by the Yamen runners she hurriedly rushed to Lin Ze and tore the document up before chewing the torn up pieces and swallowing it all up? " what document? Where is it? I don't see it. Don't lie to this old woman, do you think that you will be able to bully me just because I'm a poor old woman !"

" Old Lady Lin you can act as shamelessly as you want, " said Lu Xin the second Lu brother " but we still have the real document with us, that one that you just tore was just a copy "

" You are lying !" Old grandmother Lin believed that she was the smartest and no one was smarter than her thus when she heard that she was played by the Lu brothers her first response was ' impossible '!

" Alright, enough nonsense. You will find out whether or not it's a lie when we bring the Yamen runners .. let's go, let's bring officer Chu " Lu Ran didn't want to waste his breathe fighting with the Lin family, he still needed to buy bricks to repair his house roof.

" Wait !"Lin Ze was already shell shocked at the name of ' Yamen runners' and when Lu Ran said that he was going to bring ' officer Chu ' he was even more terrified. Lin Ze was a frequent visitor at the town, and he knew officer Chu, the latter was infamous for his tyranny and justice. He was afraid that if the Lu brothers brought Officer Chu then the family might really suffer greatly " mother, just give them the money. They have saved Ah Che's life we should be grateful for that "

" But -"

" Mother, this officer Chu is not someone you can offend. He is really fair and believes in justice, if they really brought him here we will be finished " seeing that his mother wasn't willing, Lin Ze hurriedly whispered in her ear and persuaded her.

Old grandmother Lin had full faith in her son since her son said that they couldn't offend Officer Chu then they will not offend him.

She plastered a fake smile after thinking everything through and said cordially " Ah Lu why didn't you say so before? Wait here I will bring the money "

Even though Grandma Lin felt as if her heart was being pierced she still brought the three taels and returned them to the Lu brothers who left the Old Lin family with victorious expressions.

Once they were gone, The old Lin family brought Lin Che back inside but unknown to them everything that happened just now was spread around the village, Su Wan who was watering the flowers in her courtyard heard it too. When she heard what went down at the Old Lin family, a scheming glint flashed in her eyes before her lips curled in a smirk.

Then unknown to anyone, a rumour spread around the village.. According to the rumour, Lin Che was a jinx, he has offended the God which? was why the Old Lin family was going through so many trials and sufferings .
