Treated you well
Treated you well
" you -" Lin Ze who had never fought against a shrew was stunned speechless at Su Wan's scolding , he really never thought that this little girl who wasn't even eighteen yet would not only dare to raise her voice at him but also scold him , her elder ! Lin Ze stuttered apparently lost for words , seeing him act like this the crowd snickered which further ignited his anger , Lin Ze who felt that he has actually lost face , raised his hand and shouted pointing at Su Wan " You wretched woman , see if I don't dare to teach you a lesson as the head of this family !"
* Slap*
The sound of the harsh slap echoed around the courtyard ,stunned Su Wan stared at Lin Yan who has pushed her behind him while Lin Rui was holding a struggling Lin Chen back . She didn't know what exactly happened but when Lin Ze raised his hand the entire Lin family seemed to have set in motion . Lin Jing stood in front of her while Lin Yan pushed her behind him , seeing that Lin Ze actually dared to bully his wife , Lin Chen had rushed forward to punch his uncle if not for Lin Rui who held him back , Lin Ze would have already fallen flat on his back .
As for Lin Yu , he was holding a highly incensed Mother Lin in his arms.
" Lin Jing get out of my way !" growled Lin Ze as he tried to push Lin Jing out of his way but who was Lin Jing ? He was the only one in the family who dared to rush up on the mountain and hunt for wild boars and wild game . Lin Jing was used to hard work and his strength wasn't miniscule either , he was like mount Tai when he stood straight , compared to him , Lin Ze was like a squeaky mouse .
" Enough !" seeing his wife almost getting slapped Lin Yan was already furious enough but now that the slap has landed on his eldest brother , Lin Yan wished to snatch the cleaver from Su Wan's hand and chop his uncle into mince meat " Just because we call you Uncle don't take an inch for a mile , Su Wan is our wife , who are you to teach her a lesson ? Our family is already seperated what's the point of causing such a ruckus here , even if you are not ashamed - we are !"
For a few seconds Lin Ze froze before he finally got out of his trance and stared at his second nephew in disbelief " Lin Yan , I'm your uncle ! Your biological uncle ! You actually dared to go against me for a woman ?"
" She is not just any woman " retorted Lin Rui pulling an enraged Lin Chen back " She is our wife , if we don't protect her who will ? And Uncle even if you are our uncle , you don't have the right to hit our wife !"
" I'm the head of this family ! What seperation , what rights ?" shouted Lin Ze so fiercely that spit flew from his mouth " What seperation ? Without my presence how can the family be seperated ? Why are you holding on to this matter ? Our family purchased this house , its big enough for us to settle down as one family why are you haggling for every inch ? As for hitting your wife " Lin Ze pursed his lips and glared at Su Wan " its her fault that she dared to talk back to me , she is a woman so she should act like one instead of creating trouble for her family . But if you dislike me teaching your wife so badly then Aye , I will leave this matter as it is , Lin Jing go and clean five room for your grandmother , your aunt and your cousin "
Seeing their uncle's shameless behaviour Lin Jing and the other frowned while Su Wan she sneered , haha and here she thought that the old Lin family was here just for money . Looks like these bastards not only had their eyes on their money but also on their house ! Five rooms ? Hah , if they gave five room to them where will she and her husbands live ? In the courtyard ? Or in the kitchen or out house?
" Head of the family ? If you are the head of the family behave like one " Su Wan stepped forward daringly , she wasn't scared of getting slapped infact the one who should be scared was Lin Ze .After all she was used to fighting in the black market , sure she might get some injuries but if she could scratch that greasy face of this uncle of her husband , she was willing to get slapped " let me tell you this house was purchased from my dowry , don't even think about stepping inside or else I will beat you and your family until even your ancestral ghosts might not recognise you !"
" You what nonsense ! What dowry will you have ?"
" Why won't I have a dowry ?" snapped Su Wan sneering at Lin Ze " My mother was the daughter of a merchant 's family , my eldest uncle work in the capital , my second uncle has the largest butchery and my third uncle is a merchant . If I don't have a dowry with them behind me who else will have such a dowry ? You ? "
Lin Ze 's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Su Wan before turning to look at his mother who grimly nodded her head . No matter how ridiculous it sounded Su Wan really did have a formidable background compared to them , if not for her being The Su family she wouldn't have been sold at all . Su Wan's uncles lived quite far away and the matter of wedding was decided in a hurry . The Lin brothers didn't knew about it but Su Wan did , the Su family was afraid that Su Wan will run away and complain to her uncles that's why they locked her in that room without a single window until the day of her marriage . If the original owner wasn't running out of time , she would have never chosen to commit suicide but the thing she lacked the most was time .
" That -"
" Enough " Lin Jing suddenly bellowed making everyone jump , he strode forward and dragged her back hiding her behind his enormous back . Then he turned to glare at his uncle and pointed at their door " leave "
Su Wan's lips twitched when she saw the packed entrance door of their courtyard . There was little to no entertainment in the village , thus it wasn't surprising that their door was packed so tightly that even a mosquito won't be able to get out .
" Ah Jing what's the matter with you " seeing that they were going to lose the chance to live in such a big house , Zhang Xiaohui twisted her waist and came to a stop beside her husband " Fine , if you detest our family so much then we won't stay here but atleast give your poor aunt and uncle a few taels , won't you ?We need to take care of your grandmother who is old and there is your cousin sister as well , she is already sixteen yet she doesn't have an engagement . If we give the groom side a few taels not only will they take care of your sister , they will even treat her better . Ah Jing please don't refuse , your sister treated you so well after all "
Lin Chen snorted while Lin Rui laughed awkwardly - treated so well ? Zhang Xiaohui really did have a thick skin to say such a ridiculous thing without batting an eye . Lin Yunxi was spoiled rotten by their grandmother , not only was she rude and unbearably arrogant - she had a habit of frequently troubling their mother . Everytime Lin Yunxi went to the town she would keep an eye on the latest fashion and clothes , since she can't purchase them.. she would attentively remember about their design and once she returned back to the village , she would elaborately describe the clothes she wanted to their mother and have her stitch them from the scratch . Though their mother and Lin Yu 's embroidery was top notch , there was a difference in seeing and recreating - and hearing and recreating . Sometimes their mother and Lin Yu recreated Lin Yunxi 's desired clothes perfectly sometimes they messed up which gave Lin Yunxi an excuse to swindle money from them for a new dress and accessories .
Lin Yunxi was such a selfish brat that she sometimes took their food expenses as well claiming that the fabric she brought was of high quality and its only ' right 'that they paid her back .
Treated them well ? If snatching their food expenses was treating them well then how would have Lin Yunxi behaved towards them if she wanted to treat them badly .
