Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 208 - What Will Happen To Her Ze’er

Old grandma Lin took a glance at Madam Zhang her expression turned even more fierce , Lin Zhi wasn\'t wrong - This daughter in law really looked more round and chubby than before .

Madam Zhang caught Old grandmother Lin \'s glare and swallowed hard , \' its over\'? she thought inwardly . However , she still wasn\'t willing to go down without a fight " what do mean I have gained weight ? I haven\'t gained any weight in fact I am so hungry that I\'m bloated !"

Lin Zhi sneered and said " facts speaks louder than words sister jn law , just because you scream louder than me doesn\'t mean you are right !"

" why are you harping about the rice that\'s already gone !" yelled madam Zhang even louder " we are talking about you ! You - why didn\'t you dig the vegetables from the foot of the mountain ! You are a woman? you should have done these things without us asking ? Don\'t try to change the subject ! "

" I\'m changing the subject ? Very good very well " snarled Lin Zhi rolling her sleeves than she hollered even loudly than Madam Zhang " why should I be the digging for wild vegetables alone ? I\'m a woman , so are you not a woman ? Is your daughter not a girl ? So why is it that your daughter can go around shopping when there is no money at home while I have to dig for vegetables ? Is she some sort of princess of young mistress that needs to be waited upon ? Every girl in the village knows how to dig vegetables and cook them for their family ? Does your daughter knows ? Hah ! I am ready to bet my entire life that she doesn\'t even knows how to stir fry vegetables "

" my daughter doesn\'t needs to all that ! You just wait once her brother becomes an official , she will have countless suitors coming from the town!" retorted Madam Zhang so loudly that the rolls of fat on her face jiggled " my daughter will have servants waiting on her why does she needs to learn something like that ?"

Madam Zhang deliberately said this ,it looked like she was trying to scold Lin Zhi but she was indirectly reminding Old grandma Lin that her son was the one upon whom the entire responsibility of bringing glory to their family rested upon . As expected , once Madam Zhang brought Lin Che \'s name , Old grandma Lin \'s face eased a little .

Lin Zhi also caught the change in her mother\'s expression and snorted , this old woman ! She was so stupid that even if her son and daughter in law sold her in the name of Lin Che, she would actually sit back down and help them count the money ! Idiotic woman ! However , no matter how much Lin Zhi cursed Old grandmother Lin , she knew when to stop and what to say so she didn\'t say anything regarding the rice anymore because she understood that even if she wanted to drag this matter , her mother won\'t let her ! How thick can someone get? Lin Zhi was certain that her stupid nephew was a complete dunce forget about becoming a scholar, she would light an incense if he didn\'t drag their family down !

" Fine , Yunxi is going to be a rich mistress right ? Then what about you ? You are a woman to right ? Then why don\'t you help me dig vegetables ?" Though she couldn\'t touch Lin Che and Lin Yunxi , she could still touch Madam Zhang ! " you are the wife of a farmer why don\'t you help in the household chores ?"

Madam Zhang who was as proud as a rooster , immediately shrunk her neck and said timidly " I\'m a woman so what ? Aren\'t I the mother of? a future official ? So what if I don\'t want to work ?"

" Then by your logic I\'m the aunt of the so called future official , an aunt who sold her innocence so that my nephew could study in a prestigious academy , then why should I work either ? The reason he can be admitted is because I lost my innocence and paid for his academy fees ! So I should be the one who should sit back and relax right ? " Lin Zhi wasn\'t an easy target either , after living with the main wife of the official , she knew how to retort twenty sentences in return of one " sister in law I\'m telling you , I\'m not Zhao Lan or my nephews . I won\'t let you sit back and eat like before , if you want your family to eat then you need to work with me ! If you don\'t work neither of us will eat ! Don\'t think that you and your daughter could just sit back and relax like before ! "

Lin Yunxi had just returned to her home , and this was the first sentence she heard . Almost at once her face dropped and she glared at her aunt , ever since this woman returned - she just kept finding trouble with her family , what does she mean \' she won\'t let anyone sit back and relax ?\' . Was her aunt stupid , she was so beautiful even without her stupid brother , Lin Yunxi was confident in enamouring a man from the town ! Let\'s see how her aunt would dare to speak about her like then !

" aunt what do you mean ?" Pulling an innocent expression , Lin Yunxi immediately rushed to her mother .

Lin Zhi rolled her eyes at her niece pretentious expression and snorted - she was too lazy to bicker with this niece of hers " whatever ,? after all this song and dance I want to know whether or not you are going to give me money to buy rice or not !"

Only then Lin Yunxi swept her gaze at the empty cylinder and frowned " I think its too late to restock the rice grandmother "

When Old grandma Lin heard what Lin Yunxi said her expression tightened and she frowned " what do you mean by \' its too late to restock ?\' What are you trying to say ?"

Lin Yunxi promptly replied " Grandmother , its like this when I went to town today- I found out that because of a flood in the south many refugees had escaped to our Dong Tong town , and because of that the price of everything especially grains have increased . I originally wanted to bring some rice with me but the shopkeeper said that at two hundred copper coins , I can no longer buy two meters of rice - if I want to buy rice then I need at least a silver tael "

" a silver tael ? For one meter of rice ! Why don\'t they just come and rob us !" shrieked Grandma Lin anxiously

Lin Yunxi took a look of her grandmother expression and immediately decided to strike while the iron was hot " Grandmother I saw my cousins and their shared wife in the town , somehow they have found a trick to grow green vegetables in winter . I saw that their green vegetables were selling really well and if I\'m not wrong they must have earned at least fifteen to twenty silver taels "

" fifteen to twenty ?" Grandmother Lin immediately stood up , her mind click clacking as she thought about all the silver that was currently in the hand of those dratted brats .

" That\'s right , grandmother why don\'t we ask for some money from my cousins ? Even if our family is separated , we are still blood relatives - it won\'t be too much if we ask for a few taels in the time of need , right ? Anyway we are only borrowing from them " Lin Yunxi spoke earnestly as if she really will return those silver taels .

" Yunxi is right mother !" exclaimed Madam Zhang " we are still relatives aren\'t we ? Even if bones are broken they can still be mended - while we ask for money , we should also ask for their trick for growing vegetables. I mean as relatives we shouldn\'t be calculating and help each other right ?"

Lin Zhi looked at the greedy expression on Madam Zhang \'s face and sneered coldly - should not be calculating ? Then what were they doing right now ? This Madam Zhang really had a thick skin , Lin Chen had just scolded her so badly this morning and she was willing to be scolded even more - humph , whatever she wouldn\'t entangle in this . If they wanted to shove their faces in front of that girl named Su Wan , wanting to get slapped who was she to stop them ?

She didn\'t bother with these stupid women and went back inside her room -she would just bring a pot and pan with her to the mountain foot and cook something for herself . Doing this was more useful than going to the new Lin family house !

Madam Zhang saw that Lin Zhi returned to her room but she said nothing , once she gets her hand on the rice and the secret trick - she will she how arrogant this woman will act !

Together the three of them walked out of the Old Lin house and started to walk? towards the Lin brothers house . Some people saw them striding towards the Lin brothers house and smiled knowingly .

" Old grandma Lin are you going to see Lin Heng too ?" Shouted a fellow villager as he walked towards them with a hoe on his back

Grandma Lin heard his words and was stunned silly , her momentum that was full of energy faltered and she turned to look at the old villager " what did you say ? Lin Heng ? Isn\'t -Isn\'t he dead ?"

The old villager was a little stunned at Grandma Lin question , they were not going to meet Lin Heng ? Then what were they going to the Lin brothers house ? Though confused he didn\'t spell his doubts and answered honestly " Lin Heng is not dead , old grandmother Lin . He was indeed swallowed by the sea but by the grace of God he met a benefactor who saved his life and he is now back - I\'m going to meet him , would you like to come ?"

" No " said Grandmother Lin a little too hastily then without giving any explanation to the old villager she turned around and walked back to her old Lin house .. That bastard was back ! He actually returned back from the gates of hell ! Grandmother Lin who was always gutsy and full of steam was so scared that her heart was itching because of the chill . How she wished that this was all a dream and that bastard remained dead ! If he really came to life , then what will happen to her precious Ze \'er ?
