Shrewd wife of Lin brothers

Chapter 533 Ask the kids.

　　The entire Lin family turned silent as they all looked at Lin Yunxi who nervously swallowed and continued, ” I mean— mother was angry at us because of that An Xia woman right? Then why not bring her back now when that woman has left? I mean, now the source of all the trouble is gone, so mother shouldn’t have any objections about returning right?” Actually, Lin Yunxi had a very selfish motive behind giving this suggestion to bring her mother back—— Her mother had twenty taels in her hands and she was also very hardworking now. Her aunt and her mother can take care of the fields and the house without much trouble, however when she went to the fields today she realised just how much work was needed to take care of the fields. 

Her grandmother was old and her feet weren’t as quick as they were before and her brother was a lazy bum who only knew how to eat and sleep, he wasn’t much help at the fields, throughout the entire afternoon, her brother simply jostled here and there without even pulling a quarter of weeds that was covering the fields, if this goes on then they won’t be able to sow seeds even after two years! They owned a large piece of farming land, if it was before, Lin Yunxi would have paved her way by acting like a spoiled child and asking her grandmother to hire some help to sow the seeds and take care of the fields but now they didn’t even have money to eat millet, where will they get the money to hire help? 

And those twenty taels and the gold jewellery were also taken away by her mother, if that sum alone was brought back to the house, they might be able to live comfortably for a few months until the seeds sown by her mother and aunt were ready to be harvested…wasn’t this a win-win situation for both the parties? Her mother would get her family back and they will get the money that they handed to her mother.

When Lin Ze and Grandma Lin heard Lin Yunxi’s suggestion their eyes turned as they carefully thought about what she said—— that’s right now that there was no An Xia and no job, where will they get the money from? Everything that they had was stolen by that bitch, and no one knew where she ran away. And even if they ran after that woman, wouldn’t they become a joke in front of the villagers? Just a day ago they divorced Zhang Xiaohui and brought An Xia to their house and now just a day later, the woman they made so much fuss for ran away and even stole the money in their house.

If this wasn’t a sheer humiliation then what was? 

” Yunxi is right,” said Grandma Lin after a very long pause, her face was twisted like an old witch and she looked really upset at the prospect of bringing Zhang Xiaohui back but then again she had no choice, that woman had left them no face and no money, if they don’t bring Zhang Xiaohui back then they can only wait silently and starve to death.

The old woman wasn’t blind and could naturally see the flaws of her family members. She knew that her son, grandson and granddaughter all were exceptionally lazy. Even if they were dying they might not be willing to work hard and even if they somehow picked a hoe and shovel to take care of the fields they might not be able to do anything —— when compared to Zhang Xiaohui and Lin Zhi.

She turned to look at Lin Ze and cleared her throat. ” Ze’er go and tell your wife that I have forgiven her, she can come back home.” Grandma Lin was really embarrassed, just yesterday she threw the two out of the house like they were a heavy burden on her family and now she wanted the two of them to return home.  Even if her skin was thick, it wasn’t so thick that she would shamelessly go ahead and pester the two women she threw out of her house and act like nothing happened. 

And even if she somehow managed to thicken her face and call the two back, the villagers would definitely make one of her.

” Mother, I?” Lin Ze didnt want to go, just two days ago he was boasting about bringing back a new and young wife and now he has to go back on his knees and ask his wife to come back? That would be such an embarrassment for him! Even if he had no shame, he was still the head of the house, how can he lose his face like this? ” Mother, this wouldn’t be good right? I was the one who hit Zhang Xiaohui the worst, she would definitely not forgive me.”

Seeing that her son was still making excuses after causing such an embarrassment, her temper flared up. ” Then what are you suggesting? Should I go to those brats’ house and beg her to come back?is that what you want me to do at such an old age?”

Lin Ze pursed his lips and didn’t say anything but he was a bit upset, his mother was clearly the one who made him sign the document while he was asleep, if he was awake he definitely wouldn’t have sighed that divorce agreement but no matter what Lin Ze thought inwardly he didn’t say it out loud. He might have a lot of flaws but he was smart, he knew that right now he needed his mother the most, so he wouldn’t dare to offend her, he smiled gently and said, ” No, mother that’s not what I meant—— what  I was trying to say was, why not send Yunxi and Che to bring that woman back she will surely return if her children were to ask her to come back, wouldn’t she?”

Grandma Lin’s eyes lit up as she looked at the two siblings. That’s right! These two kids were still with them, even if Zhang Xiaohui could ignore her and Lin Ze, she will not ignore her kids!!
