Chapter 763: The Lin family is here —-again!
Madam Zhang knew her daughter pretty well, even though she agreed to the marriage she was really resentful towards the Lin Family all because she did not get the type of husband she wanted, Lin Yunxi was a girl who once dreamed of getting married to an official as long as Lin Che worked harder and became a scholar but her son was low lazying around as a freeloader.All he did was eat and sleep these days except for moving to eat his daily meals, he did not even leave his room. With his skills, it was already enough that he was not starving to death how can he even look for a worthy match for his sister?
Lin Yunxi was fortunate enough that with the dowry that Aunt Zhang came up with, she was able to settle down in a decent family as long as she did not act up crazily.
Madam Zhang knew that her ex-husband was going to move to the capital which was why she already asked him to not discuss this matter with Lin Yunxi lest the latter gave up on such a good marriage match but who would have thought that her useless son would act up instead and end up blurting everything in front of Lin Yunxi only for show off.
Only Madam Zhang knew how difficult it was off her to send her daughter off, that stupid girl nearly called the entire thing off and was willing to jump in the fire pit with her stupid father and brother, if not for her telling the truth Lin Yunxi would have thrown herself in the burning pit of fire.
” Oh, Lin Yunxi’s marriage is done?” Su Wan no longer kept track of what was happening in the village, though Madam Zhang mentioned that her daughter was getting married, neither of her husbands showed any interest in going back to the village lest attending the marriage of the woman who once bullied them severely. They were already doing enough by adding to the dowry of Lin Yunxi by giving her some silver as savings.
Madam Zhang knew that she had troubled her nephews already which was why she did not ask them to follow her either and attended the marriage alone. She was too embarrassed to even take the silver that they gave as a gift to Lin Yunxi knowing how the two of them have treated the five brothers and their mother.
” Yes,” Madam Zhang replied with a slightly embarrassed voice, even though she worked hard as an ox for the Lin family now, she still felt ashamed of all the things that she did in the past, every time she looked at the full meal that she was served, she sometimes wished she could go back in time and wash the lard that was covering her eyes when she treated her nephews like that. ” Her in-laws came to take her this morning and as soon as they took her, my ex-husband sent the word out that he was going to sell his lands and house.”
She paused and then added, ” But I don’t think that anyone will be willing to buy that land.”
The last time someone worked on that field was when she and Lin Zi was still working in the house but now that land was covered in nothing but cracks and more cracks making it look like it was a barren land, it could be seen that no one in the Lin family had bothered to look after the land once she and Lin Zi left.
” You don’t have to worry about that, with their panicky state at the moment even if they have to sell their lands at a price where they will make a loss they will do it rather willingly,” said Su Wan, after all, she had painted such a beautiful future in front of them it would be stupid if they did not jump the gun while trying to make the picture come true.
Right now the Lin and Su family were too excited and wanted to enjoy their lives in the capital as quickly as possible.
Upon hearing this Lin Zi who was cleaning the shed that was currently being built in the backyard of the house smiled with a deep glint in her eyes and said, “It’s good that they are in such a hurry at least we will not have to worry about them coming here and disturbing us. I stayed at the Old Lin house for three hours and not once did I hear my brother mention the wooden toy shop, it seems that they have given up on the idea of even getting their hands on it.”
” Of course they have,” Lin Chen who was enjoying the cold breeze by the side of the pond pushed himself off and sat up straight on the cot while looking at everyone else. ” They always wanted to be better than us, now that my brothers are well settled in the town they would want to be well settled in the capital.”
Then he turned to look at Su Wan and asked, ” Shall we leave for the great ocean city as well? The troublemakers will be leaving now, I think we should also start cleaning up.”
Su Wan nodded,” Yes, let’s start cleaning up from tomorrow, I will ask Lin Yan and the rest to start handing their jobs to their right-hand men,” she paused and then added, ” You all do not have to come with me, I will be fine with just one——”
” There is no way we are sending you to a faraway district and that too where neither of us has gone before, the Shen family and Lord Fang cannot come with us since they have their own jobs in this place, leaving you alone will be nothing less than a danger,” Lin Chen spoke with a gloomy look on his face but as Su Wan was going to say something he harumphed and then turned to sleep again this time his back facing her.
Su Wan: “…” Oh, I forgot about him.
