26 We promise


    " Ah Jingyou stupidboy " seeing that instead of rushing in with his brothers her son was stillhelping her to walk inside the house , mother Lin couldn''thelp but chid him . Her eldest son was really too honest and filial , it wasn''tas if she couldn''twalk inside the house on her own . That''swhy she thoughtthat instead of helping her in , Lin Jing should have gone along with his brothersand coaxed his wife .


    " Its fine " lips pursed Lin Jingassuredmother Lin , actually he had no idea about how tocoax a woman . Ever since he was a kid , Grandma Linwould force him to do odd jobs in the vigeto earn some copper coins and when he grew older she senthim to the mountainsfor hunting after his father passed away thus , Lin Jinghad spent more timewith trees and animals insteadof humans . Withthe passage of time, hismunication skills deterioratedso much that his social circle only included his brothers and his mother.NowWith the newaddition of Su Wanhe had no idea how to talkwith her , Su Wanwasn''tlike any other vige girl.She had a mind of her own and shewasn''tafraid to speak what was in her heart , within just a day Lin Jingunderstoodthat Su Wanwas a bold and courageouswoman , while he didn''tlike girls who were too shy and timid, he thoughtthat as long as his wife did her duties and had his kids , he only needed to dote on her and care for her even better but now thathe realizedthat the shy and timid rabbit that he brought back was hiding her sharp ws in her paws, Lin Jinghad an inklingthat there was no way Su Wanwas going consummateher marriagewith them withoutnurturing proper feelings .And speaking about nurturingfeelings - Lin Jing ''s lipstightened even more , he was some one who couldn''teven string a proper sentence without offending theother person, so how was it possible for Su Wanto like him ?


    Su Wanwho ran backinside the house had no idea what was going on Lin Jing ''s mind even if she knew , she would have simply rolled her eyes and scolded him until he startedspeakinghundreds of wordsin a singlesentence . But sinceshe didn''tknew anything , she rushed backinto her room and plopped on her so called bedding andstared at the ceiling without blinking .


    When Lin Chenand the others saw this scene , Lin Chen wanted to rush in directly but Lin Rui held him back and shookhis head . Lin Chen opened his mouth to argue but Lin Ruicut himoff " brothermy teachersaid that beforeenteringsomeone''sespecially a woman''sroom we should take their permission, do you want wife to get even more mad by bargingin her room without asking her ?"


    Lin Chenblinked at his fourthbrother''swords , not understandingwhat he meant by this he wasn''ta schr and didn''t receive any education on things like manner and what notand to him Su Wanwas his wife , why can''the enter her room ? But when he heard that Su Wanmight get mad if he did such a thing , he nodded his head and stepped back at once .


    When his third brotherstepped back , Lin Rui nodded and clearedhis throatbeforeknocking on the door " Wan Wancan wee in ?" he asked politely.


    Su Wanturned her head to her door and saw thefour brothers standing there and rolled her eyes butsince they behaved in such a politemanner especiallyLin Yu who looked close to tears if she refused, nodded her head .


    Only thendid Lin Rui allowed his brothersto enter their wife''sroom , Lin Chenmouth turnedinto an ''O ''shape and he firmly burned this ''knock before you enter '' in his mind . At that time Lin Chendidn''tknow that this small change of habit helped him to win his wife''sheartin thefuture.


    " Wan Wan-"


    " What are you here for?" interruptingLin Rui , Su Wanpushed herself off thehard mattressand stared at her husbandswho werecrouching in front of her " are you here to tell me how much money we are going to send to the old Lin family- no wait , it should behow much money we should be keeping after sending all our earningsto the old Lin family, isn''tit ?"


    At their wife''ssarcastic scolding , the Lin brotherscouldn''tget mad because they knew that what their wife wasn''tin the wrong this time , so Lin Yanwho would always explode when scolded , swallowed all his harsh harsh tsundere typewords andadmitted his wrong "We won''t, I''msorry. I shouldn''thave said such a thing, youare right , theold Lin familyand our family is nowseparatedso apartfrom the filialpeitythat is mention in the separationdocumentswe need not to give them even a single penny more . "


    Lin Yu also hurriedly nodded his head " y..yes Wan Wanwe won''te..ever gi..givethem any..any..anything more . We...we pro..promis..promise you "


    " that''srightwife " said Lin Chen as he snorted in contempt when Lin Yan mentionedthe old Lin family" their familytreated us so bad , how can we allow them to bully us in the future ? won''twe be called stupidif we let themstompupon our heads ? I don''tknow about my brothers but I will listen to you wifey "


    " We all will listen to Wan Wan, third brother " mildly ring at his third brother, Lin Rui spoke. He knew that his brother was trying to cajole Wan Wanand have her forgive him but was it worthit throwinghis blood brothers down the raging volcano ? Lin Chenpokedhis tongue yfullybuthe did look a bit guilty for taking advantageof his brothers .Seeing this Lin Rui rolledhis eyes then turned to look at Su Wan"I promise to record all our monthly earnings and hand it to you , Wan Wan .Thatway the old Lin familywill never snatchmoney from us "


    Su Wanlistened to Lin Rui and suddenly felta bit badfor these five brothers . Instead of saying '' we won''tgivethemour earnings '' , Lin Rui used the word '' won''tsnatch '' doesn''tit mean that the old Lin familysnatched their earnings every time they brought some back ? Her nose turneda bit sour after listening to them , of courseshe had an inklingaboutthesufferings they face but when she heard them speakof it so casually, she felt her her heartache for them .


    " Alright, I eptyour apology but remember to do what you promised or else " she didn''tfinish her words butredat them .


    Lin Yan and theothers saw her red rimmed eyesandsuddenlyfelt warm all over . Lookslike their wifewasn''tas hard heartedas she presented herself .


    " We promise" noddedLin Rui warning his brothersespeciallyLin Chen not to say anything about Su Wan ''s red eyes lest their wife explodedagain.


    " Yeah we promise " standing up Lin Yan shyly held his hand out " now that we are done with this apology session , shall we go and eat ?"


    Su Wanncedat Lin Yan ''s outstretchedhand and then at his red ears and grinned before taking his hand and intertwiningtheir fingers together " Yeah let''sgo "


    Lin Yan blushed even more furiouslywhile all the rest red at his back enviously .


    We too want to hold our wife''shand ! Damn you second brother .
