Chapter 91 - My Heart Is So Clean And Soft
The rest of the ride was filled with awkwardness , after the Su Wan's interruption Lin Ze no longer boasted about Lin Che 's academic qualifications instead he kept a long expression through out the journey and didn't speak at all , Uncle Wu who heard Su Wan putting Lin Ze down shook his head - Aye , this wife of The Lin brothers really had a poisonous tongue , doesn't even know how to suffer even a little .
Uncle Wu was a narrow minded old man in his eyes, - a woman should be kind , patient and virtuous . He didn't like women like Su Wan who couldn't even bear the slightest bit of grievances and retaliated at once . In his opinion , Lin Ze was indeed the Uncle and the elder of the Lin brothers and as the shared wife of the Lin brothers , Su Wan should act a bit restrained and shouldn't act so arrogantly - actually daring to refute her husbands family's elder but since Lin Yan and Lin Yu didn't say anything , Uncle Wu didn't sodality either , Su Wan wasn't his family's woman and it didn't matter to him whether or not she acted accordingly to the family's values or not - she was the Lin brothers problem not his .
Uncle Wu might have thought that Su Wan was a problem but Lin Yan and Lin Yu didn't take her as one , instead they thought that their wife was really nice , standing up for them like that - and as for others ? Why does it matter if they think of them as unfilial ? The rumours that Zhang Xiaohui had spread around the village calling them ungrateful , white eyed wolves telling the villagers fake tales - crying and sobbing with their grandmother - all of those rumours have reached them , at first the Lin brothers were a bit restrained because they didn't want to be called unfilial and ungrateful but in the end they were still called unfilial despite giving in so much - then why would they care about The Lin family anymore ? They were already unfilial in the eyes of the villagers weren't they ?
Especially Lin Yan , who had to go through the judgmental every time he returned home after work - he no longer cared about his uncle and his family anymore , do they think that after ruining his family's reputation and making his family the subject of everyone's ire , he will still act politely to them ? Big dream hah ! A man who lost everything had no fear - now that the worst has already arrived they might as well face it !
Zhang Xiaohui and Grandma Lin had no idea that their scheme of suppressing the Lin brothers and forcing them to return back to their family had backfired , now instead of returning back to the Old Lin House , The Lin brothers were thinking of living their lives as an unfilial bunch ! if they knew maybe they would have kicked themselves .
The journey to the town ended and Su Wan thought that Uncle Wu was quite relieved to see them go . Lin Ze hopped to his feet first and Lin Che followed his father's action , only the difference between the two was that Su Wan felt the ground shake when Lin Che jumped off the cart .
The father and son duo looked at them one last time with disdain and left with a contemptuous snort , Su Wan rolled her eyes - really if they had the guts they should have tried doing that when they were riding on the cart together - at least then she would have some sort of respect for them - even if the respect would have been marred with them being stupid but she would have at least respected them ! ( they are stupid that's not what matters - they are stupidly brave that's what's important , right ?)
Because they wanted to check the cloth pieces and threads first , Su Wan and the others separated from Fang Xiaolin and Feng Dai , who were heading for the docks where they sold their eggs to a restaurant that they have been selling for years .
Once Fang Xiaolin was gone , Lin Yan walked over to Su Wan together with Lin Yu and said " I'm grateful that you stood up for us like that but you don't have to let your husbands protect you from now on , if this goes on than your reputation won't last long "
Lin Yan understood Uncle Wu's expression he knew that the old man was disliking Su Wan for refuting her elders like that , to him it didn't matter if his and his brothers reputation got tainted or hit rock bottom but Su Wan was a woman a reputation needed to be pristine clean .
Su Wan rolled her eyes and chuckled mockingly " why do I need my reputation for ? I'm already treated like a shameless woman by the villagers , it matters not that my reputation does not remain perfectly clean or is it that you don't like having a wife who is not highly admired by the villagers for being kind and generous , is that it ?"
After dealing with Su Wan quite a few number if times and eating dust , Lin Yan had learned his lesson , he knew if he said the wrong thing , his wife might just knock him out cold by her poisonous tongue . He gently smiled and said " That's not what I meant , you know . Its just that if your reputation gets even more worse you might no longer be able to make friends in the village "
Su Wan snorted remembering the excited faces of the women at the time when she fought with Luo Chenxi and her mother " who wants to make friends with those good for nothings , only knows how to gossip and find trouble ! I would rather befriend a pig than befriend those ugly black hearted women ! And what's the matter with you ? Pushing your clean and soft hearted wife to those women , do you wish to see me tainted is that it ?"
Lin Yan nearly coughed out blood , clean and soft hearted ? You ? Are you sure you are talking about yourself ?
When Lin Yan didn't respond , Su Wan narrowed her cat like eyes and glared at him .
" Of course not - I just -"
" Humph , Yu just leave your brother ! Let's not taint his pristine clean heart with our tainted ones " then without waiting for Lin Yan to finish his words , she wrapped her hands around Lin Yu 's arm and walked away , her head held high - you think I'm not soft hearted ? Dare to question how clean my heart is ? Then so be it you miserly faint hearted good as an angel little Yan , stay alone !
