Chapter 793: New ce, new dramaThe house which was given to Su Wan and the Lin brothers by the previous magistrate of the Great Ocean City was indeed rather small whenpared to the one they had in Dong Tong Town, it also stood at a great distance from the main city where the docks and the residents of this city lived. It was a house with an open space lying in between the four walls and each wing had three rooms, though it looked big, the members of their group needed to share a room.


    In such a small courtyard it was impossible for the Lin brothers not to hear the sound of two babies crying, as soon as their family''s firstborn cried they wanted to rush inside and then carry him or her in their arms but they were stopped by Shen Junxi who despite being just as excited was following his mother''s words.


    His eyes were red as he continued to wipe the tears in his eyes with the help of his sleeves but not once did he budge from the front of the room which made it impossible for Lin Yan and the rest to barge inside.


    Lin Jing and Lin Chen continued to peep through the open window over the top of the door because with their height it was easier for them to peek inside but the thing was that Shen Junxi was just as tall as Yhem and that made it a little difficult for them to look inside.


    " Can''t I go in?" Lin Yan asked Shen Junxi feeling a bit agitated, the person inside was his wife and the children who were crying were his own! Why could he not see them?


    Shen Junxi shook his head as he replied in a hoarse voice, " You have to wait until they are done cleaning the inside of the room, it''s bad luck for a husband to see the blood which was lost during childbirth."


    " How can it be considered bad luck when she suffered so much because of me?" Lin Yan questioned back sounding a bit annoyed, his wife gave birth to his child after staying inbour for more than three hours and yet it was considered bad luck for him to see her.


    " You—-"


    Just as Shen Junxi was about to say something, Old Madam Shen opened the door and then red at the five Lin brothers.


    " What are you babbling here for? Are you still looking for me to go out and cook something for your wife?" Old Madam Shen red at them. " Go to the kitchen and brew some hot soup make sure to go easy with the seasoning lest you want your babies to drink spicy milk. And the kang inside is running low on wood, did we not have it stored? Bring some wooden blocks for me now! The lot of you are like grown-up children despite turning fathers not, I feel sorry for your kids to have such childish fathers, lest you wish me to tell them how dumb you all were, you better move for me!"


    The five brothers rubbed their noses and immediately made a move as they rushed to deal with the things which were handed to them.


    Lin Jing and Lin Rui went to the shed which had wooden blocks stored for the winters while Lin Chen was sent to the pigsty where he picked the healthiest pig and dealt with it cleanly making sure that it would not make much sound.


    On the other Lin Yan who was in the kitchen tied an apron around his waist and then handed a thick lotus root to Lin Rui while leaving Lin Yu to go and bring some seaweed from their neighbours.


    " Wan Wan said that she wanted to drink seaweed soup, I don''t know how it taste which is why I think it is better to add it to the pork soup while it''s stewing even if it tastes bad, its taste will be subdued by the taste of pork."


    " I got it," Lin Yu nodded as he walked out of the kitchen seeing him leave, Lin Rui could not help but turn to his second brother and asked, " Is it okay to let him go alone, Brother Yan?"


    Lin Yan nced at Lin Yu''s vanishing back and nodded before he replied, " The imperial doctor will be arriving anytime soon since Wan Wan has shown her worth by growing that peculiar rose, I am sure that Master Fan will definitely hold on his side of the agreement."


    Earlier Su Wan had told him that Fei Qin Fan introduced himself as an ''important'' figure in the court to her, which she used for her benefit and asked him to call an imperial physician to their house in exchange for the rose that she sold him along with the mary benefits and even if Fei Qinfan was not as ''influential'', Su Wan also had other ns to deal with the third prince along with the crown prince.


    When Lin Rui heard that Su Wan and Lin Yan had already discussed it beforehand, he did not say anything anymore and started to peel the lotus root before he started cutting it into thick slices.


    On the other hand, Lin Yu limped down the stairs and headed towards a small house which was situated next to them, he found climbing the stairs tiring but when he thought about Su Wan who just gave birth to their family''s children, his cheeks were flushed red with excitement as he climbed the stairs of the house next to them and then raised his hand to knock on the door of the house.


    As soon as he knocked on the door, it was swung open as an elderly woman with sharp eyes looked at him and said, " Yes?"


    " I just shifted to the house next to yours," he pointed to the old magistrate''s house which made the elderly woman''s eyes flicker but she did not show any expression on her face as she waited for Lin Yu to finish speaking before he cleared his throat and then said, " My wife just gave birth and she wants to drink seaweed soup, we are new here and did not have the time to purchase seaweed, is it all right for me to buy some from you?"
