Chapter 332 - Die
Madam Zhu saw her husband drag one of their niece's husbands and shook her head, however she wasn't worried, she knew that her husband might be a bit aggressive, he wasn't violent for no reason. Except teaching a small lesson, he will not hurt their niece's husbands at all.
Then she turned to look at Su Wan who looked a bit worried at the sight of Lin Chen being dragged like a pig about to be butchered by her Eldest Uncle, and soothingly patted her hand " don't worry, he might look scary but he is a good man. He won't hurt your husband " at least not so much that they couldn't get out of their beds.
Su Wan didn't know whether what she did was the thing to do or not, she knew that no matter how much her uncle didn't like her husbands if she asked he would have definitely let them go but instead she listened to her aunt and let them get entangled in this mess. Did.. Did she do the right thing? Or maybe she should have stopped all of that. Now, Su Wan was regretting, she didn't want to upset her eldest aunt and uncle by interrupting them earlier but now she was worried about her husbands and what might happen to the five of them, only God knows what kind of condition they might be in after her eldest uncle was finished dealing with them.
Madam Zhu of course noticed that Su Wan was worried, she gently smiled as she covered Su Wan with a blanket and helped her lay back down " don't worry, your uncle knows what he is doing, it's just that - it's good to give them a good lesson so that they don't take you lightly in the future."
Su Wan's marriage to the Lin brothers could not be considered normal in any case. She was sold by her father and was married off to five men like she was a woman without a family and a choice, only madam Zhu knows how upset she was when she found out that Su Bai sold off Su Wan just like a prostitute being sold to the highest bidder.
Only girls from families that were too poor to take care of their daughters, would be willing to make their daughters a shared wife. And sometimes even the poor wouldn't be willing to sell off their daughters like pigs and chickens, yet Su Bai who was comparatively well off and could even be called rich among his villagers actually did something like this! When Madam Zhu found out, she wanted to chop Su Bai's head and hang it on the village entrance.
However, what happened has already happened, she couldn't do anything about it. In the end what she can do, was so to let her husband teach a good lesson to these five nephews in law, so that they never dare to slight Su Wan in the slightest!
Su Wan thought about it, she was sceptical that either of her husbands would dare to offend her after the good lesson she taught them. However, once she thought it through, she realised that, what Madam Zhu said was right, it was necessary to give her husband a good lesson once in a while, that was what she thought but the reason she didn't say anything to stop her aunt and Uncle was that, this feeling of being protected felt really good.
In her past life when she was cheated on by Wang Tao instead of scolding Su Lan for sleeping with her brother in law, her father scolded her in turn, calling her useless because she couldn't keep her husband by her side.
That day Su Wan's heart broke for the millionth time and never beat again. Now that she was suddenly getting the love that she only dreamt of, Su Wan couldn't help but bask a little in it.
Su Wan didn't interject in Uncle Shen's plan to teach his nephews in law a good lesson and that made Madam Zhu really satisfied, as she spoke her voice became even gentler " you wait here, I brought a lot of nourishing herbs and tonics for you, I will go boil some for you now, with just one sip you will feel completely relaxed and your cramps will ease down a lot"
" I will show you the way," said Mother Lin as she too stood up from her chair and guided Madam Zhu to the kitchen, she didn't speak when Madam Zhu was speaking to Su Wan. Though she was a mother, she was also a daughter in law and knew how important it was for a girl to have a protective and powerful family. If her father wasn't a poor farmer that could be dealt with by just anybody, would Grandma Lu slight her like that?
So, Mother Lin didn't interrupt Madam Zhu, she trusted her sons and knew that she raised them right. Of course, neither of them would dare to betray Su Wan but just in case it was good to give a warning.
-
A warning?
As Lin Yan scooped a fistful of snow and put it on his throbbing eye, he felt that he was betrayed. When Shen Junxi asked them to have a friendly match, he promised that no one would be hurt and he just wanted to see their physical strength but now - Lin Yan looked at his hands that were badly scratched and silently suffered the throbbing and aches in his body. Not an inch of his skin looked as if it was so much even touched yet his entire body was aching so badly that Lin Yan couldn't even stand on his legs without all the creaking and croaking.
" ouch, Ah Yu be gentle it hurts" gasped Lin Rui on his left, as Ah Yu rubbed ointment on Lin Rui's shoulder. While Shen Junxi duelled with Lin Rui in his ' friendly duel', it seemed that Shen Junxi didn't even put any strength in his hit when he struck Lin Rui's shoulder it was only when Lin Rui shrieked and fell on his four did they realised how bad it was.
" Sor-sorry" muttered Lin Yu as his actions became even gentler " I really don't get it, we weren't at fault, so why did he best us too? Shouldn't it be only Brother Chen? "
"Maybe if Ah Chen could withstand his three blows then he wouldn't have dragged us but alas-" sighed Lin Yan as he looked at his right, where Lin Chen was still knocked out. Though they should have brought Lin Chen back to his room but a part, a very close part to their throbbing eyes, shoulder and ears wanted to leave him where he was, even if it meant that Lin Chen might catch a cold by tomorrow morning.
Dare to call trouble yet don't have the strength to face it? Go and die!
