Chapter 38 - Who Is Shameless
" Wan ..Wan I..I was..wasn't tr..trying to make you..you angry " Lin Yu was startled at Su Wan's sudden temper but he didn't want Su Wan to misunderstand him . So he tried his best to do as Su Wan asked " I..I don..don't want peo..people to cri..crit..criticise you tha..that's why I ..I ask..asked you to let go..go "
Lin Yu was trying to please Su Wan on the other hand Lin Yan was getting more and more angry . In his eyes there was nothing wrong with Lin Yu , his brother was special and if he didn't want to talk then neither of them should force him to talk .
In the past their peers would encourage Lin Yu to talk and Lin Yu really believed that they were trying to talk with him sincerely but after a few days Lin Yu heard his friends immitating his way of speaking and making fun of him.
Lin Yan ofcourse taught those naughty boys a good lesson but ever since that day he hated it when people forced Lin Yu to talk .
" Ah Yu , you don't have to talk if you don't want to " said Lin Yan no longer bothering to keep check on his temper " And you - if Lin Yu do not want to talk then why are you forcing him ? Lin Yu is your husband instead of throwing your tantrum you should just listen to him silently "
Lin Yan doted on Lin Yu the most not only because Lin Yu was special but also because Lin Yu was the youngest of the five brothers . Thus, when he saw that Su Wan dared to scold his beloved brother his temper flared and he couldn't stop himself from chiding Su Wan .
Listening to Lin Yan 's scolding Su Wan sneered " What do you know ? If Yu can't talk with me normally , how will he talk with me when we are alone ? Don't tell me that when its Yu turn to sleep with me you will follow him inside in my room and help him converse with me ? "
" You - how shameless !" hearing Su Wan talking about sharing a bed with Lin Yu in public , Lin Yan flushed red .
" What shameless ? What do you mean by shameless !" Su Wan at once became angry when Lin Yan called her shameless " Do you even have any idea why I'm asking Lin Yu to talk more ? I have seen similar cases in town . My uncle told me that if a person wants to get rid of his stuttering he should try to communicate more , the more they talk the sooner they start speaking fluently . If you don't have any idea than don't go around barking like a mad dog !"
Once Su Wan was done shouting at Lin Yan she turn on her heels and left with a loud huff . She didn't even stop when the brothers called out for her instead she increased her speed and walked even faster .
How dare he ! Highly incensed Su Wan chewed on lips angrily , she was just trying to help nothing else why did Lin Yan had to scold her like that ? She hated it when people took her kind intentions in the wrong way . In her past life , she had again and again tried to warn her ex husband that Su Lan wasn't a good woman and he should stay away from her but Did he listen to her ? No. Not only did he not listened to her he even went ahead and cheated on her with Su Lan . If only he listened to her and didn't derailed their marriage , maybe they would have grown old together but he didn't - in the end she was heartbroken and her ex husband was left with nothing .
But she wasn't upset because of the events in her past life after all what happened had already happened. She was upset because no matter how well she treated the Lin brothers , Lin Yan would still pick faults in her . He was upset just because she scolded Lin Yu a little but didn't she scold him for his own benefit ?
His heart ached when Lin Yu was scolded then what about her ? Ever since she married him , he had been scolding her for every little thing and he hadn't once apologised . Why ? Just because she was their shared wife ?
Infact if it was upto her she would have long packed her bags and left the Lin household but her name was under their family household registration . Without an identity card she cannot go anywhere , the yamen runners might bring her back in a jiffy if she ran away .
Stay silent and listen to her husband ? Dream on ! Why should she stay silent and listen to her husbands ? If they wanted someone who will remain silent and listen to them then they should have married a puppet instead of a living woman !
Soon she reached the stop where the villagers took the ox cart and stopped walking waiting for the brothers to catch up to her . The money pouch was with Lin Rui and she didn't know the path to town either so she could only sit down on the boulder next to the ox cart . She sniffed and wiped her eyes , a bit embarrassed that she was crying like a child but this body belonged to a young girl maybe it was the body's natural reaction at getting scolded .
On the other side Lin Yan and the others were stupified but soon they returned to their senses and ran after Su Wan . Lin Rui who was the most reasonable one out of the five brothers couldn't help but scold his second brother " brother why do you always jump to conclusions ? I know that you don't want Lin Yu to get bullied but Su Wan is our wife will she deliberately hurt Ah Yu . ? You should think twice before speaking , you have been fighting with Su Wan ever since she married us . If you keep doing this - we brothers won't sit back silently anymore "
Lin Yan pursed his lips and said nothing after listening to Su Wan's explanation he realized that he once again mistook Su Wan's intentions again .
" apology " said Lin Jing from the front , compared to others Lin Jing understood Lin Yan better thus he knew that Lin Yan must be feeling guilty thus he didn't give him a hard time and simply asked him to apologise to Su Wan .
" I understand , brother Jing " Lin Yan did have a fierce temper but he wasn't an unreasonable person .Now that he realized that Su Wan 's intention he knew that he need to apologise .
The Lin brothers soon arrived to the ox cart stand and caught sight of Su Wan wiping her eyes and simultaneously all of them looked at Lin Yan with a blaming glance . Even Lin Yu for whom Lin Yan stood up .
Lin Yu knew that Su Wan genuinely wanted to talk to him but before he could say anything his second brother was already scolding Wan Wan . He was no longer ten , he could differentiate between good and bad people .How long will his second brother baby him ? He was already a man with wife !
Lin Yu limped forward to Su Wan and hurriedly took out an embroidered handkerchief and started wiping Su Wan's eyes .
When Su Wan felt a rough cloth touching her face she was startled and she hurriedly opened her eyes only to see that it was Lin Yu who was wiping her tear stricken face . However , she was still feeling angry thus she hurriedly turned her face with a huff not looking at Lin Yu either .
So what if Lin Yu didn't scold her ? He was Lin Yan 's brother as well .
Lin Yan saw Su Wan turning her face from his touch and he hurriedly looked at his brothers with a helpless gaze but then he remembered what Su Wan said to him and he turned her head to look at her " Wan Wan I..I pro..promise that I ..I wi..will talk mo..more with..with yo..you "
" really ?" asked Su Wan as she turned to look at him with a scrutinising gaze
" Ye..yes we w..we are husb ..husband and wife , I ..I sh..should talk mo..more with. ..without anyone..anyone's help to my wi...wife " Lin Yu took quite sometime to finish his sentence but Su Wan didn't interrupt him instead she patiently waited for him to finish what he wanted to say and once he was done , she patted his head in a praising manner .
" That's right " said Su Wan with an encouraging smile " you should speak more , the more you speak the more your confidence will grow . Don't worry as long as you keep trying ,you will speak fluently too "
" I. ..I underst..understand " said Lin Yu then he raised his handkerchief to wipe Su Wan's face and this time Su Wan didn't turn her face away from him.
