Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 253 - Sorry

After finishing up with their meal the three of them met with Lin Yu who was waiting for them near the ox cart. Su Wan and Lin Chen have eaten delicious Mapo tofu and pork balls with vermicelli shrimp, therefore they were happily talking about the good business of their shop, gone was the listless expressions. Even Lin Yan have eaten a little together with Su Wan and Lin Chen, thus he wasn't hungry either.

Lin Yu who was waiting for the three of them felt a cold wind blow past him, he had been working in the shop from dawn to dusk every day and couldn't get even an ounce of sleep for a week much less have a hot piping meal. Even today he missed eating his lunch and was looking forward to having a warm meal once he returns to his home, but when he came to the ox cart he realised that neither his second brother nor third brother was there. Even if the two sent Su Wan back home, they would still wait for him since the three decided to return home together. He has been waiting here alone in this cold weather on an empty stomach while they actually ate their dinner before coming here? What happened to their promise of eating a good meal at home together as a family? Liars!

Lin Yu looked at their bulging bellies then looked at their happy faces and felt his stomach aching even more pitifully because of hunger aches. Next time, he won't be believing them even if he was dying!

Su Wan didn't know that she had left a ' scar ' on the sensitive Lin Yu. She was still discussing with Lin Chen about their plans regarding the new products that she was going to launch in their shop next month when she caught sight of Lin Yu waiting for them.

" Ah Yu !" seeing him standing alone next to the ox cart with snow piled on his shoulders, Su Wan felt a bit guilty. They have been eating at the restaurant with a warm brazier next to their table and having a merry time, and she completely forgot about Lin Yu and their promise of going back home together. Even if the two of them were avoiding each other, Lin Yu standing alone in this cold weather with snow falling on top of his head and shoulders cut a lonely figure. Rubbing her nose awkwardly she rushed forward to meet Lin Yu " Did you wait for long? Did you eat something? ?"

" I didn't wait for l…long, " said Lin Yu wiping the small mound of snow that was collected on top of his shoulders " and I didn't eat, I was a little busy today as I was fi….finalising the designs for the last time "

Translation: I have been waiting for a long time can't you see the snow piling up on my shoulders? And because I was waiting for you, from where will I get the time to eat? In short ' I'm in a bad mood because I'm very hungry and cold, coax me '

" Ah you didn't eat ?" when she heard that Lin Yu didn't eat Su Wan felt even more uncomfortable, knowing Lin Yu's character he was someone who will torture others but will never let anyone touch him. Even he himself won't use the method of ' inflicted self-torture ' to gain sympathy for himself. This meant that he was genuinely waiting for them since they all promised to go back together and she promised to cook something delicious for their family, ah looks like she made a mistake. Smiling awkwardly, Su Wan clutched on Lin Yu's arm " I'm sorry, I was just too hungry and couldn't wait anymore. I won't do it again, but don't worry I will definitely cook something good for you once we go back home "

" En, " said Lin Yu simply, though he wanted to tease Su Wan a little more but seeing her small face getting flushed because of cold, he couldn't tease her anymore. He was afraid that if they keep on standing here Su Wan might get sick, so he covered her properly and draped the overly large hood of her cloak on top of her head " let..let's go, it's getting cold ."

" Yes, let's go or else I might become an ice statue if I keep standing here " complained Lin Chen as he rubbed his warm hands on his face, it was really too cold. If he wasn't wrong this winter must be the coldest winter of their village, they were quite fortunate to have separated their household from the Old Lin family or else someone from their family might have really frozen to death. Pei! Pei! What was he thinking what death? Such a jinx!

" Let's go " Lin Yan helped Su Wan up and then sat in front of her, their wife's body was still so small and frail, she could easily fell sick but they were used to facing the winter in thin vests and old blankets so their bodies were a lot sturdier. So protecting her from these harsh cold winds without getting sick wasn't difficult for them.

" Yes,"

" Yes "

Lin Chen and Lin Yu too hurriedly sat next to Su Wan completely covering her up, with the three of them sitting next to her, Su Wan didn't feel the slightest bit cold. Instead, her heart felt as if someone had trickled warm honey down her throat, it was just that comfortable and warm.

-

" Ah, Yu! Ah, Chen! Ah, Yan! Wan Wan! You lot finally came back, we have been waiting for you !" Father Lin who has taken over the charge of cooking, immediately chided the four of them the second they walked inside the dining room. Because of the heavy snowfall, the dining table was moved in the newly repaired shed next to the kitchen, currently, their family was sitting around the dining table happily sipping on their warm meal cooked by the one and only Father Lin!

Because Father Lin have hurt his back when he drowned in the sea, he couldn't work in the fields but he was an able-bodied man and couldn't sit still. In the end, he followed behind Su Wan and Lin Yan and took over the charge of cooking meals and brewing medicine when Su Wan and the others left for work. Since Su Wan and Lin Yan were late today, Father Lin decided to showcase his talents in their absence.

" Father in law you seem to be in a good mood, " said Su Wan as she looked at the feast her father in law has prepared. Fragrant milky white fish soup, pickled fish, wontons and stir-fried pork with green vegetables " did something good happen ?"

" Sister in law, its fourth brother! Do you know, Do you know - he finally received his letter of acceptance! Now the fourth brother can study at the academy, Father said that fourth brother will now become an official and bring glory to our family !" Little Qi Zhi drank a mouthful of fish soup and felt extremely pleased he wasn't even bothered about the unhappy expression of his adoptive father.. In the past, he could only eat coarse grain pancakes and was never able to satisfy his hunger . When had he lived such a good life where he could eat fish and meat in his every meal ?
