Shrewd wife of Lin brothers

Chapter 570 Need to have a nice chat.

　　” Ah Yu, you are returning from work right?” A young woman in her teens walked up to Lin Yu who was limping back home, though the family has saved enough money for a carriage, they were still waiting for Su Wan’s pregnancy to stabilise before buying a carriage.  Though according to Doctor Gu, the pregnancy was growing very smoothly, they still wanted to keep a large amount saved just in case—— once the pregnancy was stabilised and they were sure that there was nothing that was going to hurt Su Wan anymore, only then the brothers would leave her alone at home.

However, at this moment Lin Yu wished he had a carriage, he was really getting annoyed by this constant pestering of the women of the village. Ever since Doctor Gu came to their house to check up on Su Wan, the villagers have been nosing around and it wasn’t long before they found out that Su Wan was pregnant. 

It would have been good if they had just congratulated them and been done with it but nope, these women were trying so hard to come in between them. Instead of using their brains and leaving their family alone, the women of the village took this as an opportunity to get close to the brothers, thinking that now that Su Wan was pregnant, they have a chance.

Of course, they didn’t, Lin Yu would willingly leave like an absolute monk instead of sticking his meat in anything that walked on two feet yet had the wits of a dog in heat. 

Thus, when he was stopped by another one of those frantic women who wanted to make it big, he only felt annoyance in his heart despite her shy and coy face that was flushed like a sweet cheery. He would have loved to smack the girl across her head to wake her up from her delusions but he simply smiled and answered politely, ” Yes, I am. Is there something that you want to discuss with me?”

The girl blushed even further, even though she didn’t like Lin Yu in the beginning, she sure had a crush on him now. He was no longer the gloomy kid who hid himself in the house all day and even his stutter was gone. Now he was more of a Prince Charming than a gloomy boy whom everyone hated, and what was more was that —— she heard from her mother that Lin Yu was the one who came up with the new designer clothes that were trending in the town currently.

She has also seen those clothes and has always wanted one, if she could get close to Lin Yu then maybe —— she naively blinked her eyes and stepped closer to him. ” Lin Yu, I … I was thinking that——”

” Ah Yu, what are you doing there?” Lin Chen who has seen what was going on, hurriedly wiped his dirty hands and rushed to stand next to Lin Yu lest the latter flew in rage and said something that might upset the girl till she was reduced to tears. This was the fifth time in just a week and most probably, Lin Yu was at his limit already. 

He turned to look at the girl who was naively confessing her feelings to this devil and smiled. ” Ah, aren’t you Aunt Jing’s daughter? Tell her that we need some more embroidery pieces, so she should finish them soon.” 

Though his words were direct and polite, the girl flushed. Even if she was a village girl, she could see that Lin Chen was well —— drawing a line in between them by telling her this… she was the daughter of their worker and they were the boss.

The girl bit her lip and nodded before walking away. 

Only then did Lin Yu’s smile drop and he turned around with a scowl. ” If I got one more proposal this week, I swear I will rip their parents apart. It must be them who are filling the heads of these young girls.”

” You never know, the girls aren’t exactly naive either,” said Lin Chen with his hands crossed behind his head. ” By the way why are you so late today?”

The brothers were now responsible for taking shifts to tackle the weeds in the rice paddies before it was ready to be sold. Once this batch was sold, they were thinking of hiring helpers who would help them sow seeds and take care of their crops but for now, they could only shift through their schedules and take care of the fields. Today it was supposed to be Lin Chen and Lin Yu’s turn but he had to leave because for some reason.

Lin Yu frowned. ” There was an urgent appointment set up by a rich woman, apparently she is adopting a granddaughter and she wants to find the best dress for her adoptive granddaughter…  I told her that I couldn’t sell anything to her or her granddaughter when they came when my bookings were filled already.” Then he pursed his lips as his lips dipped further down and the temperature around him dropped to another degree lower. ” But the old woman was adamant and kept saying that her granddaughter loves the clothes from my shop, and would love to wear a customise dress when I refused to help her, she went ahead and threatened me with her name. Do you know how she introduced herself to me?”

” How am I supposed to know that?” said Lin Chen as he frowned back at Lin Yu. ” She was your customer, not mine. Shouldn’t you be telling me this, so why are you asking me to guess that woman’s identity?”

Lin Yu rolled his eyes and shot his brother a look. ” In this entire time, which family did you meet who has been absolutely obsessed with the idea of having a granddaughter?”

Lin Chen paused as he slowly turned to look at Lin Yu, who smiled dangerously. ” That woman introduced herself to me as Old madam Shen, looks like we need to have a discussion with our dear uncles soon.”
