Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers Chapter 694: Calm down and eat

Chapter 694: Calm down and eat

Lin Yan immediately turned silent, he didn't dare to say anything anymore seeing that Su Wan was getting angry. But as his gaze dropped to her stomach which was swelling bit by bit with their child, he couldn't help but press on, " Wan Wan, I know that you are unhappy but you should listen to what I have to say as well, shouldn't you? I just don't want you to overwork yourself, you are pregnant with our child, if you were to get tired then it will cause unnecessary trouble for our child."
" I am not overworking myself," said Su Wan as she placed the last dish on the table and then sit down, her voice was gentle but it was just as firm. " I am trying to do what is keeping me sane, you are being too overprotective. You are driving me nuts, I am worried that if I stay in the house any longer with you dancing on top of my head, I will explode."
She wasn't lying either, she was unlike the women of this era … she couldn't just stay at home and knit sweaters, heck she didn't even know how to knit at all! She was the Su Wan of the modern world, the one who had multiple options to make herself happy, from the television set to smartphone and cinemas but there was nothing like that in this world and with a suspicious and hidden danger hovering on top of her head, she wasn't allowed to leave the house at all.
If that wasn't bad enough her maternal family and husbands would hover over her like she was some delicate porcelain doll that needed to be guarded every second. When has she gone through something like this? Su Wan found it adorable for a few weeks before she realised that it was super annoying!
Now she was so done with them, that she wanted to have a break, this trip came to her at the right time, with this not only will she escape the restraints of her house but she will also be able to get out and get a refreshing breath of air that she has been dying to have.
Su Wan picked up the pearly white squid noodles with the clean public chopsticks and placed them in her bowl before saying, " I have a life beyond you five and my child, you all are making me limited to just yourself and our child, I know my body better than you all, I know what I can do and cannot do if you are right in stopping me have I said that I am going to do it anyway?"
She slurped her noodles, she has boiled them instead of keeping them raw to make them safer for her consumption and looked at her husbands with a sigh when she saw that they weren't saying anything. " I am not saying that I am going to leave right now, we can talk it out nicely, for now, why don't you all sit down and have dinner?"
Lin Yan wanted to say something more but was stopped by Lin Jing who caught hold of his arms and said, " We will talk later."
For once Lin Yan could go against Su Wan but once his eldest brother has spoken there was nothing else he could say, in the end, he closed his mouth and then sat down on the dining table with a sigh, there was still time, he could do something about this right?
Once Lin Yan calmly sat down on the table the others followed suit and Lin Chen hurriedly scooped up the braised squid that smelled the best and then took a bite of it. He moaned in contentment as he showed a thumbs up at Su Wan and said, " I don't know whether or not anyone will be able to do it but I know that you will definitely succeed in taking care of that territory, just look at how good this taste."
Lin Yan wished he could snap Lin Chen's neck, he glared at him and said, " Taking care of a territory is not all about food, Ah Chen."
Under Lin Yan's stern voice Lin Chen turned silent but he looked at Su Wan and mouthed, ' I am with you,' causing Su Wan's lips to curl up.
She turned to look at Lin Yan who still looked sullen and then nudged Lin Rui who looked up from his salt and pepper fry squid and then turned his head at her, seeing that she was looking at him with a 'help me' gaze, he cleared his throat and then said softly, " Second brother, I know that you are scared but I will be going with Wan Wan, even if she does not have a good idea of how to run that territory, I will be able to help her."
" And who decided that you will be going with her?" asked Lin Yu sharply causing Lin Jing to glare at him and he swiftly added, " fourth brother."
Only then did Lin Jing look away and turned to Lin Rui who cleared his throat upon being under scrutiny by his four brothers and said, " Because I am the only one who knows how to run a territory? I am studying for becoming the prime minister aren't I?"
" That does not mean anything?"
" Why? Does anyone of you know how to collect tax and pay it in the office?"
The brothers all glared at Lin Rui, so he was finally taking advantage of all the knowledge that he has learned wasn't he?
Su Wan on the other hand raised a finger and then stopped them from breaking into another fight as she said, " Come on, it's not that bad. If we do a good job then we will be able to get hold of the imperial concubine who has been eyeing me and if I help the imperial family by raising the value of a territory that has nothing then even the Emperor have to accept that I am a valuable asset."
What was more she will be able to get a noble title?
