Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Su Wan's face was pale. Her face which was already palm-size became even smaller. By the time Doctor Gu reached the Lin brothers house, her breathing has once again turned laboured. Her temperature rose even more, which startled everyone so much that they became headless chickens.

Lin Yan started rubbing Su Wan's left hand while Madam Zhu started rubbing her right hand. Lin Jing and Lin Yu took off Su Wan's socks and started rubbing her feet, this made her usually tiny body looked even more tinier.

Doctor Gu hurried inside the room without any reservations when he saw that the situation was so bad. Seeing doctor Gu arrive, Lin Yan promptly gave away his place and let Doctor Gu take a look at Su Wan.

Because Su Wan was suffering because of her high fever she was still unconscious. Thus when Doctor Gu held her wrist up it was unusually heavy in his hand. Doctor Gu did his usual check-up, he even checked Su Wan's eyes and then shook his head " she has overworked her body, I won't ask how this situation arose but I did tell you all that her physique is really weak, why did you let her push her body until she exhausted herself? And she also caught a chill which made her fever even more troublesome. Here I will prescribe some medicines for her, now all she needs is a lot of rest, fluids and good food. Remember don't let her push herself too much, or else things might get bothersome, her foundation is weak, to begin with, no matter how much you and I try now, it's not going to help much at most we might make up for her lost nutrition but you need to understand that she suffered when she was young. Her previous illness has left of an impact on her health, so she cannot make slight of her health."

The Lin brothers all bowed their heads, though Su Wan chose to do what she did, it was their fault that they didn't realise that she was missing for so long. If they took proper care and paid proper attention maybe then something like this wouldn't have happened. And the one who was the guiltiest of all was Lin Yan as he clenched the golden string in his left hand.

Because of him, Su Wan went suffered so much. It was all because of him.

Doctor Gu gave the extra herbs that he brought with him, thankfully, he always kept an extra stock of every medicine. If not who knows what would have happened today, the Lin brothers had to make a run for the town to get these herbs and whether or not they would have been able to get their hands these herbs or not.

Once Doctor Gu left, madam Zhu turned to the door where her husband was standing and cupped her mouth before shouting " Husband Remember to teach another good lesson to that Su bastard. Just see because of his greed our dear Wan Wan is lying on the bed so pitifully !"

The Su Bastard, still lying in his bed: "..."???! What's this chill? Why did he feel a chill climb over his spine?

" you got that " answered Eldest Uncle Shen, he remembers that he only broke a hand and one of the legs of Su Bai, there was still an extra hand and leg that was left unharmed because he took mercy on that bastard. He wanted to leave that bastard with some dignity but now - hehe, what was dignity? That bastard deserved to roll in his poop covered smelly bedsheet!

" uh, Aunt in-law why is the eldest uncle in law standing outside ?" asked Lin Chen, not understanding why Shen Junxi was standing outside the room like a guard.

" oh, that?" Madam Zhu laughed as she hid her curled lips behind her fan " He is afraid that if he comes inside he might strangle a certain someone, so he is standing there. You know the old saying, out of sight, out of mind. That works for him really well, so he is doing the exact same thing"

Almost at once, the Lin brothers swivelled their around to look at Lin Yan.

Lin Yan: gulp.

" This girl, she really scared me to death. Vanishing to God knows where and then returning to the house with such a high fever. She didn't even say anything, in the middle of the night too - she really made us act like headless flies" continued Madam Zhang without sounding at all troubled like she just didn't drop a rather dangerous bomb on their heads " but I say, sister, why are you so uncomfortable? I just noticed but you seem a lot uncomfortable, are you alright?"

When Madam Zhu glanced at Mother Lin, her eyes were a bit narrowed with suspicion and seemed sharper than usual. This made Mother Lin's heart to instinctively jump to her throat, she shuffled her feet and rubbed her hands together, she knew that the time of truth was here but she was really scared!

" I - I'm fine, just a bit worried -"

" You know sister, I'm a bit curious. This thing about string, I think only your family knew about it right? And since your sons were just as clueless as us I don't think that they told Su Wan about the temple, then who did ?" tilting her head on her hand, Madam Zhu spoke in a sing-song voice " I am not doubting you nor am I questioning you but, if you did really tell Wan Wan about the temple, then I think we, as her biological aunt and uncle have the right to know what exactly did she put on the line. What did the high priest tell you when you visited him the last time, don't try to say that you don't know because I have been there once and I do know how things happen there so, chop chop"

Father Lin frowned, a bit upset upon seeing his wife questioned like this " Dear in law, I do agree why you are doubting Lan'er but she is - I think if she knew where Wan Wan was she would have told us"

" she would have, in-law" conceded Madam Zhu with a sharp look in her eyes " but that depends on what exactly that old priest told her, for example, if it was her son's life on the line and there was some catch that could be fulfilled by Su Wan. I don't see her speaking the truth outright, am I right, sister ?"

Mother Lin clenched her hands and then looked up to face Madam Zhu's accusation.. She knew what she did was wrong, she knew what she did was selfish,? cruel even. But she was a mother, so if everyone called her a sinner so be it, for the sake of her son - she was willing to become a sinner " you are right, I knew where Su Wan went"
