Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers Chapter 500 Not a burden

Chapter 500 Not a burden

Of course, the duck bone soup wasn't enough for everyone to fill their stomach, so Lin Yan went to the kitchen and together with Lin Rui he hurriedly prepared poached fish slices and stir-fried vegetables while the cabbage pickle that Su Wan made just a few days ago was also taken out. The dishes couldn't be considered lavish and compared to what Lord Fei ate every day, they were even a bit haphazardly prepared but Lord Fei didn't complain and unhurriedly ate his meal. Of course that couldn't be said for the two Shen uncles and the Lin Brothers, they have been starving throughout the day, running here and running there, compared to Lord Fei who only missed the evening tea, these poor men were completely famished.
Only after finishing a bowl of rice did they turn to look at the Feng brothers who were silently eating their meals next to them. Lin Yan who was the most graceful one after Lin Rui while eating his dinner looked at Feng Zhai and Feng Dai and asked, "Thank you, brother Dai, Brother Zhai, you took care of the kids and our house when we weren't here."
" Oh it's fine, it's fine" Fang Dai shook his hands with a wide grin on his face, " actually it wasn't much work. We just had a hard time calming down the women who were crying oh so pitifully, once we took care of them the kids instantly stopped crying, like this I learned a new thing that we should never cry in front of kids or else that will trigger them to cry along with us."
When everyone heard his words they all turned to look at Madam Zhu and Madam Huo who blushed embarrassingly. However, Madam Zhu didn't like the stares that they were shooting her and somewhat unhappily snapped, " what are you looking at? I am a woman too! My niece was taken to Yamen and no one explained a thing to me. When I didn't see you all return home by noon, of course, I got worried and" then her voice got lowered as she added, " I wasn't the first to cry anyway it was Sister Huo who started crying, and then I got even more anxious and then it kind of became troublesome."
Shen Junxi swallowed the fish slice that was in his mouth and teasingly wriggled his brows at his wife, as he grinned. " uh-huh, you are really cute, do you know that madam? Even if you were the first to cry, you can admit it. I won't judge you, after all, I know my wife the best you might put on a hard front but you have the softest heart here, ah that reminds me of the first time our son took his first steps you cried for an hOUR OUCH!"
Shen Junxi shrieked suddenly, startling everyone who were carefully listening to him.
Madam Zhu who stomped on her husband's feet to make him shut up turned to look at the small gathering who were looking at her and said with a smile, " I wasn't the one who cried first, it was madam Huo." Then as if to cancel out whatever nonsense that her husband has spouted, she added a gleaming smile that reminded them of the thug who threatens the commoners to pay him weekly rent and repeated, " It was Madam Huo who cried first."
"Yes, Yes" everyone nodded their heads at once like they would say anything else when they were being glared at by such a hooligan like expression.ReadNovelFull.com
Su Wan saw the blush decorating her aunt's cheeks and knew that it was certainly her eldest aunt that cried first because she turned her head at Aunt Huo who was still smiling despite being used as a shield and knew that nothing in the world can make this woman cry that easily. Most probably her second aunt was the only one who tried to calm everyone down together with the Feng Brothers. Though Su Wan wasn't present at that moment, she indeed hit the point.
Madam Huo was indeed distressed about what happened to Su Wan but she was not someone who was as jumpy as Madam Zhu whose predictions about Su Wan started with a simple arrest and then took an exaggerated leap of them planning a prison break to save Su Wan from the imaginary execution that she was facing. Though Madam Huo's expression did falter and became bad to worst and by the time the Feng brothers were called by Fang Xiaolin, her expression was one of smiling yet turning blue because of anxiety.
Su Wan knew that her aunt was shy so didn't say anything just picked up an extra piece of poached fish and added it to her eldest aunt's bowl and that was enough to make the woman go all teary eyes once again.
Shen Junxi who didn't learn his lesson after being stomped on once looked at his wife and asked somewhat curiously, " Wife, are you crying-Ah God Damnit!"
Madam Zhu ate slices that were added to her bowl by her niece and sniffed haughtily. " Who is crying? It's just that the fish is a bit spicy so my eyes burned a little, don't tell me your eyes are getting bad old man."
Though Shen Junxi wanted to retort that he wasn't an old man but his wife's strength when she was stomping on someone wasn't something to make fun of, he couldn't even feel his toes! So, he did the right thing and shut his mouth up.
The heavy mood that was weighing upon them ever since the morning swiftly lightened and they all smiled despite the trouble they were facing. Even Lin Chen who was gloomy since the morning showed a small smile, yes that was right. As long as he has his family with him, he will be able to deal with any trouble that came his way. After all, he wasn't alone and - he looked down at the cup of fruit wine that his eldest brother poured for him and smiled gently- he wasn't a burden either.
