Chapter 31 - Are We The Husbands Or She Is Our Lady
" Well , I can accept this suggestion " putting on a reluctant expression Su Wan spoke , and as she expected the five Lin brothers expression immediately ligted up like Christmas tree " but I have some conditions ", now that she has decided to make these five men work hard to win her heart , she hurriedly held her hand and interrupted their beautiful day dream . Humph , want to get in this Aunt's pants so easily ,not a chance ! This auntie will only sleep with the one who will move her heart .
" Conditions ? What sort of conditions ?" asked Lin Yan feeling a bit stifled haven't they already given her a lot of concessions already . How dare this woman set conditions in front of them ! He hurriedly glared at his eldest brother with a look that said 'who exactly wears the pants in this house ? are we the husbands or she is our lady ???? huh huh ?' .
However, no matter how hard Lin Yan glared at Lin Jing the latter simply ignored this bad temper brother of his after glancing at him briefly . Who wears the pants in the house ? of course it was their wife ! Su Wan was their wife not any other woman whom he could simmer down with a glare , if he tried to do that won't he be locked out of their bedroom for God knows how many months ? Lin Jing finally had a chance to slowly warm up to his wife would he let go of it just because his younger brother waa dissatisfied ? Of course he won't ! If you are dissatisfied speak for yourself on your own !
Lin Yan who was ignored by his elder brother was so furious that his teeth started hurting because of the force he was using to grind them .
If Lin Jing could understand Lin Yan 's Dissatisfaction so could Su Wan but will she care about Lin Yan 's bitter temper ? Ofcourse no ! That man could get angry as much as he liked to but she wasn't going to pay him any heed .
" Yes conditions " said Su Wan who bravely fought her temptations and raised a finger " first and foremost I will be the one deciding with whom I want to share bed with , if any one of you make me angry you can rest assure that I won't let you inside the room "
Almost at once the Lin brothers swerved their head at Lin Yan whose face distorted even more . Won't let him inside if he made her mad ? As if ! A locked door ain't stopping him , how naive ! Lin Yan who was being gazed at , narrowed his eyes and glared at his brothers who hurriedly looked away .
The corner of Su Wan 's mouth curved up at their chidish antics but she quickly pressed it down " secondly , if I say no that means no . If I tell you that I don't want to sleep with you guys then you won't force yourself upon me . This is the basic etiquette of being a gentle husband. "
" Lastly , if I'm too tired please let me sleep peacefully . Don't try to do anything sneaky because I don't like when someone disturbs my rest , do you all agree ?"
The Lin brothers exchanged a glance and sighed what else can they do ? So in the end all of them nodded and agreed with teary eyes .
" Okay so I will decide the order now because I don't want to be unfair - wait a second " then Su Wan turned around and picked a few fallen sticks , she broke them evenly in ascending order then picked the bundle shuffling it up " Here we go , you have already seen what I just did , there are five sticks from the longest to the shortest - the one who draws the longest stick will sleep with me in my room tonight and the order will follow , so hurry up and draw your stick "
Even though Su Wan told them to hurry up The five Lin brothers took their time , Lin Chen even did a quick prayer and then everyone turned to look at each other as if they were staring at their enemy whom they met at the battlefield.
Atleast that what Su Wan thought.
Though she believed that the five brothers were taking it a little too seriously what she didn't understand was this was the brothers first time sharing a bed with their wife , even though they agreed to share their wife within their heart they still wanted to be the first !
Thus , when given a chance of breaking the older to youngest order the Lin brothers hurriedly took it .
Swipe !
Quick as lighting the five brothers pickex their stick and then -
" I'm second ! I'm second !" Lin Chen who drew the second longest stick was so happy that he hopped and jumped like crazy .
While Lin Jing who drew the longest stick heaved a sigh of relief , truly relieved that he was able to save his position as first .
Lin Rui was third and Lin Yu was fourth both of them were not as happy as Lin Chen and Lin Jing but they were also not as sad as Lin Yan who suddenly fell to last place from second . Lin Yan was so mad that his face turned black as ink , while he alternatively glared at Su Wan and the short stick in his hand .He was last ! From second to last ! Lin Yan couldn't believe it ( author's note : Lol who said that he wasn't interested in Su Wan stick like body ? Now suffer mwuhahaha )
Su Wan who was on the receiving end of Lin Yan 's dark glare felt her scalp tingle , she awkwardly shifted on her feet and shrugged innocently holding up her hands " Its not my fault , its just your bad luck .Look I really did a fair job here , you can't blame me for your luck being so bad "
'Bad luck my a*s
Can't blame you ? This Old man will definitely blame you !
Being fair ? Ptooey ! What was wrong with the original order ? Just say that you don't like me and you are just bothering with me because I'm your husband ! this is the truth right ? right ?' Lin Yan who received blow after blows from getting abandoned by his brothers to getting down on his luck , was so disappointed that he went to his room and took a long 'nap ' .

Time ticked by and soon every household began ligting their lamps as the sky darkened . Since , there was a shortage of income most family went to bed early compared to others because they wanted to save lamp oil. These family were the 'early to bed and early to rise ' ones .
Su Wan on the other after a tiring day was feeling sweaty and tired . She really wished for a bathtub with soothing aroma candles burning by her side , in the modern world she was used to taking a relaxing bath after a hard day but the Lin family only had a large wooden basin.
Looks like I need to earn money as soon as possible ! muttered Su Wan inwardly as she sniffed her sweaty body and went blegh , she was someone who loved cleanliness especially when it concerned her personal hygiene .
If it was before she would have just wiped her body and dived right in the hot spring in the back room of their house but - but they needed to keep that spring water clean for their money earning crops ! So Su Wan couldn't take a dip down the hot spring with her sweaty body.
" Wan Wan what are you thinking ?" carrying two bucket of hot water hanging balanced on a wooden pole , Lin Rui asked
" nothing " Su Wan shook her head and simply followed behinf Lin Rui who placed the hot water bucket in the bath house . There was no point in telling Lin Rui about her desire for a bath tub it wasn't as if he could make it - That's right make it ! Wasn't Lin Jing going to the mountains to get lumber for a dining table why don't she ask him to make a bath tub for her as well ?
