Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 188 - Anxiety

Su Wan who was sitting silently by the side , immediately hopped off the stool and patted Lin Rui \'s head after getting on her tippy toes " you have done great Rui , I bet you will definitely pass the exam this time and you will be able to attend the academy ! Ah ! Now I only have to sit back and wait for the time you will bring glory to our family "? she spoke half jokingly .

But compared to Su Wan \'s happy expression , Lin Rui was a bit worried. Even though Headmaster Yuan said that he would waive off the fees a bit because he thought he had a good temperament and character . Lin Rui could see that Headmaster Yuan had great expectations from him but what he couldn\'t live to his expectations ? He knew he was brilliant and he usually acted confidently but Lin Rui alone knew about the demons , insecurities and struggles he fought with everyday .

Originally he wanted to tell all of this to Su Wan but when he saw her eyes that were looking at him with admiration and expectations , he couldn\'t bring himself to tell her that her usually confident husband was actually an anxious wreck , he was afraid of her disappointment , and his brother\'s judgement . If he told them that he was actually afraid of going in the academy alone , when they all have worked so hard - Lin Rui couldn\'t bear to break their heart .

In the end he smiled and nodded at Su Wan with a soft \' en \' .. Ignoring his stuffiness and the sharp pain in his chest , then taking the money from Su Wan \'s hands he sat back in his corner trying to ease his laboured breathing and the trembling of his hands , he couldn\'t break down right now . Not in front of his brother and wife, he had to suppress it all until he returned home until then , He looked up and when he saw that his brother and Su Wan were busy packing up , he furtively rubbed his chest . Though it did nothing , Lin Rui was certain that this pain would pass , it always did .

" Yunxi , look aren\'t? they your cousin brothers ?" a girl whose face had a splash of acne all over her nose and cheeks, pointed at Su Wan \'s stall and tugged on Lin Yunxi \'s sleeves .

At first Lin Yunxi wanted to snap at the stupid girl for daydreaming in broad day light . After all how can her poor and completely broken cousins would be here at the town especially when she was already in foul mood but then she followed the girl \'s line of sight and her expression turned even more livid .

Yu Chunyao , the girl who came with her was right . Her cousin Lin Jing and Lin Rui were indeed in the town and by the looks of it they might have just finished selling something good because the money pouch in Lin Rui \'s hand was actually bulging like a small sack !

Lin Yunxi \'s usual gentle expression vanished in an instant and she really started to rush forward to snatch that bulging bag .

" is today some special day ? The time is still early but we actually sold everything out ? " seeing the empty baskets Su Wan couldn\'t help but wonder out loud as she took the money pouch from Lin Rui . Just as she was about to open it a tall figure rushed at her , startled she threw the pouch at Lin Jing before pushing? the \' thief\' away from her stall? .

Lin Jing thought that someone was trying to steal the money from them , so he immediately pocketed it in his shirt \'s inner pocket and strode forward.

But before he could man handle the \' thief \' , the? \' thief \' already started screaming .

" what are you doing ? Are you going to hit me ! Don\'t forget that I\'m your sister !" Lin Yunxi \'s arrogant face immediately came in front of him like a nightmare .Because she was angry , her small face that still had a lot of chubbiness on it was flushed and her eyes were glaring daggers at Lin Jing \'s pocket . If she wasn\'t worried about being talked about , Lin Yunxi would have already torn Lin Jing \'s shirt and took the money all to herself !

When Su Wan heard Lin Yunxi claim that she was Lin Jing \'s sister , she was stunned but then she took a closer look at the girl and snorted - that round face , tiny bead like eyes couple with her arrogant attitude - who else could it be but Lin Yunxi , her husbands \'s wonderful cousin . Su Wan knew that though Lin Jing was hard hearted he worried a lot about reputation and because his opponent was a girl he wouldn\'t be half as hard hearted as he usually was , so she quickly got over her shock and pushed past Lin Jing " what do you mean by that my husband was going to hit you ? The way that you rushed in our stall was just like a ferocious bandit rushing to loot ? You tell me how should we respond to such actions ? Should we stay back and let you snatch our hard earned money ?"

Lin Yunxi? arched her eyebrows and her beady eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at Su Wan stiffly " what do you mean by rushing in like a bandit ? They are my brothers if I want their money who are you to stop me ? Do you think that just a month in our house snd you are incharge ? Is it not enough for? you to? curse my mother and grandmother day in and day out until they went down with fever ? Humph , I should have expected such a thing to come out of an uncouth girl like you - pei , what else are you worth except sprouting vulgarities out of your mouth - you damned shared wife !"

The stall where Lin Jing and Su Wan were selling their vegetables was right on the busy street . And because Lin Yunxi wasn\'t silent in her speech either , most of the pedestrians heard it . Though no one really minded that Su Wan was a shared wife , because there were a lot of cases like this in the town but the fact that she was actually being venomous despite being a shared wife was disgusting . Many people started to look at Su Wan with contemptuous gaze, seeing this Lin Yunxi wore a proud and proactive look as she looked at Su Wan .

Su Wan \'s expression didn\'t even flicker as she calmly retorted " and I should have expected nothing less from you either , its not enough for your family to leech on my husbands and mother in law - until my mother in law ended up with a dire sickness and my husbands hard earned money was snatched from them by your mother and grandmother . Humph , who are you to lecture me ? When you were having a fun time at your house eating meat everyday the one that was leftover from our wedding of course , my husbands and I were kicked out of your house with nothing ! We didn\'t even had a place to live , yet you have the face to say that you have the right to take my husbands earnings? Was leeching my husbands for the years while you were living together as one family wasn\'t enough to satisfy you that you also want to snatch from them even after they separated from your family ? "
