Chapter 190 - [Bonus ]not Easy To Deal With
Lin Yunxi 's expression changed , actually the reason she acted in such? a presumptuous manner was because she had seen Su Wan the last time her cousin went to ' check ' the bride they were marrying . Madam Zhang was worried that the Lin brothers would buy a girl who will be hard to rein thus , she sent Lin Yunxi together with her cousin to ' see ' what kind of girl, Su Wan was .
Lin Yunxi originally wanted her cousins to stay unmarried all their lives because she was smarter than her mother . Her mother might believe that her brother would be able to pass the official exams and bring glory to their family but Lin Yunxi who was a frequent visitor in the market knew exactly what her brother was upto . She had caught him visiting brothel many times and had seen him spending the money that he extorted from their grandmother in the name of studying in famous restaurants because he wanted to please his seniors .
Thus , she knew that even a dog could become a scholar but not her brother . So , she placed? no hope in Lin Che , instead all her expectations were placed on her cousins - she thought that as long as her cousins remained unmarried and her grandmother could control them under the name of being ' filial ' towards their elders - she would be able to get married to a well off family with a heavy dowry . As for what would have happened to her cousins and their house linage she wasn't worried about it - if they could get married by then , then it was their luck but even they couldn't get married and had to remain single all their life - Lin Yunxi wasn't concerned about that even if their family ended with them , she was only concerned about herself .
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThus , when her cousins told the family that they wanted to get married . Lin Yunxi egged her grandmother , saying that if her cousins got married - they won't be able to control them anymore . Her technique of filling her grandmother's ears worked really well and her grandmother kept squashing the marriage plans of her cousins before they could even speak about them .
Which was why Lin Jing and Lin Yan got married so late in their twenties .
Lin Yunxi 's plans were going well but who would have thought that Lin Chen , that brag would blow up after her grandmother refused the preposition of getting married . That third cousin of her clearly announced that if he couldn't get married then what was the point of all of them earning money ? They would be able to eat even with their eldest brother 's earning so he refused to go to work , he even pulled her second and fourth cousin in his strike and refused to leave the house for work , no matter how much their grandmother hollered curses at them .
Because Lin Chen , Lin Yan and Lin Rui stopped bringing money to the house- their family's meals and living expenditure suffered the most . Their dining table that always had a meat dish on it was reduced to just plain porridge . In the end even if Lin Yunxi didn't want her cousins to get married before her , she had to take her foot down .
Thus , when her mother told her to keep a check on their future wife - Lin Yunxi agreed . She was certain that as long as her cousins wife was tamed and shy? , they will be able to control her and nothing would change . Therefore , when her cousins who agreed on buying Su Wan , who looked shrivelled up , malnourished and hard working Lin Yunxi didn't stop them .
But who would have thought that this honest looking girl would not only have their family separate on the day she got married but she also went ahead and embarrassed her in public . Lin Yunxi was so mad that she wanted to slap this Wife of her cousin to death ! But she was smarter compared to her mother and grandmother thus , she reined on her temper and pulled a hesitant smile , before saying " What is sister? in law talking about? What leeching of ? What snatching ? I merely wanted some money because we are in such severe conditions ?" Then looking around Lin Yunxi sighed " sister in law the village in the south is affected by flood . People of that village are fleeing towards our town, Many refugees choose to come to Dong tong? Town. With all these people, do you think the town government can manage them? We already? know that they won't take care of all these people?With this many people in the town, the price of every smallest thing have increased , right ? I just wanted big brother Jing to help me out a little - I .. I don't have much money to buy rations for our family . Its just a one time thing until the problem of flood resolved , why do you have to over exaggerate it so much ?"
Su Wan came to a sudden realisation, she finally understood why her vegetables were sold out early . Compared to other shopkeepers prices , her vegetables were reasonably priced ! Ah !
However , she was not like other shopkeepers who would take advantage of such perilous situation , thus when she saw that Lin Yunxi was trying to pull the crowd back to her side . She immediately smiled and pulled on a grievance filled expression " little sister , do you not know ? We already know about the flood but we still didn't raise the price of our vegetables and sold them for cheap amount compared to unreasonable shopkeepers who are selling their goods for one or two taels , we are already suffering a loss and we still need to buy some ration for our family , if we give our money to you - what will happen to our family ?"

Su Wan had seen this man buying vegetables from them earlier , thus with a witness , she was even more relaxed . Turning to look at Lin Yunxi she helplessly spread her hands " see we already sold our goods for a reasonable price because we didn't want to take advantage of the people when the situation is already so bad . We are honestly earning money for our family even though we suffered a loss , so how can you make such unreasonable demand from us ?"
Lin Yunxi who wanted to fight on , was dragged away by her friend before she could say anything .
" what are you doing ?" demanded Lin Yunxi wrenching her wrist away from Yu Chuyayo , who rolled her eyes and snorted at her as if she was looking at an idiot .
" what do you mean by what am I doing ? I'm saving you ! Your sister in law is not simple , I have heard from Tian Xie that Luo Chenxi suffered a heavy loss because of that sister in law of yours . Even now Luo Chenxi doesn't dare to go out of her house and if you see her , you would have realised how dangerous your sister in law is , That Su Wan actually reduced Luo Chenxi into a haggard girl. I don't know what exactly happened but it happened after Luo Chenxi and her mother went to her house most probably wanting to find trouble with her and what happened then ? Aunt Liu was sent to her maternal house and Luo Chenxi was locked up in her own . Do you think you can take on such a woman ? With her brain alone she would have beaten you so badly that your entire body would have been drowned in the spit of the crowd ! You were not paying attention to your surroundings but I was ! And everyone were looking at us like we were a pair of drowned rats ! I won't say anymore but if you want to keep on fighting with your sister in law go ahead but don't pull me along with you ! I'm still unmarried , I don't want my reputation to suffer " with that Yu Chuyayo , turned around with a swing of her hips and walked away leaving an enraged Lin Yunxi behind .
Earlier Lin Yunxi came to town because she wanted to check out some latest fashion clothes but once she entered the town she found out that the price of? everything was actually touching the limits of the sky . In the end Lin Yunxi thought about buying rice instead of clothes but her mother only gave her a small amount of two hundred copper coins while the rice was actually being sold for a total of two taels !
Lin Yunxi was really worried about her family where no one earned but everyone ate . That was why she was so adamant about taking the money from Su Wan but who would have thought that bitch won't give her even a little face !
Angry and infuriated , Lin Yunxi stomped her foot and rushed back home - whatever she needs to find her grandmother first .. So what of she couldn't take the money from them ? She was sure her grandmother would be able to snatch that money . Not only will her grandmother would be able to take that money, she will even teach them a lesson ! Humph , who told them to act so brazenly , if they gave her the money she would have been generous and left some for their family as well but this time she wouldn't leave a single coin !
