Chapter 11 - What about the wedding night ?

By the time Lin Jing and Lin Yan returned , the camp fire has turned into slow burning ambers , however, Su Wan had placed the pot over the dying fire and the porridge was still luke warm . Though not as good as a hot meal ,but for Lin Jing and Lin Yan who were carrying a lot things in their hands while dragging a cart behind them using their bodies in place of an oxen , the bowl of lukewarm porridge was like a god send meal .

They hurriedly wiped their sweat and took the bowls from Lin Yu , who limped over to them . Tasting the delicious porridge made Lin Jing and Lin Yan to forget all their exhaustion and sighed in content .

" Elder brother , do you like this porridge ?" Lin Chen who already ate quite a lot of porridge could no longer suppress himself and hurriedly went forward to boast about his new wife's skills " Wan Wan cooked it , isn't it delicious? I know it is , infact it was so delocious that I ate atleast six bowls!"

Hearing Lin Chen 's boasting , Lin Jing's face softened as he glanced at Su Wan and spoke " En , its delicious " after praising Su Wan , he once again started to eat without thinking about anything else .

But it was Lin Yan who looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze and Su Wan internally shuddered , what kind of look was that ? You eat my meal and you look at me like I owe you fifty thousand dollar ? Who do you think you are !

Internally, Su Wan fumed but she didn't say anything , she knew that the Lin brothers actually wanted to marry the gentle and sweet Su Wan but instead they got a fire cacker like her , this change of temparament was enough to make them doubt her . While Lin Rui was smart , he didn't had much communication with Previous Su Wan and Lin Chen was an energetic idiot as long as his wife was pretty he didn't cared about other things as for Lin Yu he didn't even came to see Su Wan when they were holding the meeting from afar , how will he know any thing about the previous owner ?

It was just Lin Jing and Lin Yan who were a bit troublesome , since they saw and naturally inquired about the previous Su Wan .

This was certainly true , looking at Su Wan .. Lin Yan was a bit confused and was slowly raising his guards up . Even though Su Wan gave them money and helped them in seperating from the Lin family .He still couldn't forget the sight of this sixteen year old girl holding her grandmother hostage by placing a knife on her neck .

He even caught sight of the carefully slashed skin from Grandma Su 's face and knew that the girl had great skills in skinning meat .. if known by man it was alright but when known by woman it was terrifying .

Lin Yan was even more angry and doubtful when he thought that they were most likely fooled by Su Wan . The girl with whom they had a first meeting was too shy to even look at them but this woman was brave enough to skin her own grandma and wave that fruit knife without a single hesitation .

How can a woman change so much in just a month ? Lin Yan was certain that Su Wan most likely played them and she even played her family by nose !

Though he was grateful , he wasn't going to trust this woman so easily!

Su Wan could feel the glare pointed at her back and shivered , ah my dear husband , can't we talk nicely what's with this glare?

" first brother , did you buy this cart as well ?" asked Lin Chen patting the wooden cart that contained their purchased goods .

" Don't be stupid " said Lin Yan finally taking his eyes of Su Wan who sighed " We borrowed it from Qin Heng , don't you know how expensive a wooden cart is?"

" No , I just -"

" Just what?" snapped Lin Yan " even if we have house and lands now , it will take a long time to recover the expenses that we just spent , don't even think about a cart !"

" Jeez , second brother I was just asking " Lin Chen finally got a chance to speak when Lin Yan stopped to breathe .

Su Wan was standing by the edge of the cart playing with the little chicks and ducklings that Lin Jing and Lin Yan brought , the little things went quack quack and cluck , cluck making her heart swoon with happiness . She originally lived with her grandmother who lived in a small village and Su Wan 's life was easy going as she took care of little things like these but then Wang Tao persuaded her to go and live in the city and she agreed . Aye ; what a foolish decision .

As she was playing around with the little chicks , she heard Lin Yan scolding Lin Chen and pursed her lips in a straight line . She heard him speak with that sharp tongue of his and only one word came to her mind as she heard him speak - miser .

A petty miser!

However , then she looked at Lin Yan 's facs that was a bit saddened and realized that in this big family , Lin Jing was the eldest and most probably doted on his younger brothers , thus the role of playing the bad cop naturally fell on Lin Yan.

But that didn't mean she liked him any better ! With that sharp tongue , she was certain that she and he will naturally have a lot of fights in the future .

" But Ah Jing why did you buy so many chicks and ducklings ? weren't you going to buy a pair of each ?" asked Mother Lin who came to see what Su Wan was doing , when she saw seven chicks and seven ducklings in a basket she was stunned , didn't Lin Yan just said that they needed to save ?

" The lot was cheaper compared to a grown hen and duck " answered Lin Yan though he won't admit , he actually brought the little chicks and ducklings because the shopkeeper saw his wedding robe and said that young lady likes cute things like this . ...even though they had diffrences , Su Wan was already his wife and he naturally wanted her to be happy ...but in the future he will never indulge her like that lest she became too arrogant ( A/N : Lol )

Mother Lin frowned but when she saw Su Wan happily playing with the little chicks and ducklings, she didn't harp on the matter anymore.

" Let's go " finishing his porridge , Lin Jing stood up " got to settle "

Which probably meant that it was getting late and they need to settle in the new house.

" but Ah Jing, its the Ling mansion " persuing her lips unhappily Mother Lin complained , as expected both Lin Jing and Lin Yan frowned and turned to Lin Rui , who hurried to explain the in and out of the matter .

" Since there arw no options , we can only make do with it " sighed Lin Yan though he sounded a bit unhappy

" Yeah, let's go " said Lin Jing already pulling the cart

" Hey first brother let me help you " Lin Chen started pushing the cart from behind and made it a bit easier for Lin Jing to drive the cart ahead .

Su Wan supported Mother Lin and walked behind with Lin Rui and Lin Yu , she too wanted to see what kind of 'ghost ' the Ling family mansion had.

After one and half hour of walking , the party reached the Ling mansion..Unlike the other villagers , the Ling family was a bit rich . Thus , they choose the most remote spot near the river to build their house ..It was a bit far away from the hustle and bustle of the village and Su Wan liked it at first sight.

Behind the house was flowing river meaning endless fish supply and with the huge courtyard space she could build a home garden for her personal use ! And there was a closed bathing area too ! Ah , she didn't to worry about her bath !

Su Wan was happy while the others were apprehensive especially Mother Lin who was sitting on the new stool that Lin Jing brought and looking at the house as if it was going to eat her .

Su Wan sighed , ancient people were really superstitious !

" C'mon , the house is not going to clean itself !" clapping her hands Su Wan spoke out , since no one was moving , she will make them move " Ah Jing , Ah Chen you are responsible for handling the weeds around the house for now , leave the rest of the courtyard we all will do it bit by bit ...as for the others except you mother " seeing Mother Lin hyping herself up , Su Wan spoke hurriedly stopping her mother in law in case the sick woman pushed herself then she ignored the pout of mother Lin and continued " The rest will come and help me mop and sweep the house , so go and change your wedding robes , and get to work !"

Lin Jing and the others :- wife what about the wedding night ?
