Chapter 22 - Treated You Well
By the time Su Wan finished with her diatribe that she hurled at the Old Lin family until they were drowning in her spit. Lin Ze and everyone of the Lin family were stupified staring at Su Wan as if she just popped another head on her neck .
" 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 .
