Dedicating this chapter to Simone_Luu_3524, hope it makes you smile, Gorgeous.
" I feel better," said Su Wan after she finished drinking the brown sugar water and plopped back on the bed, her body seemed to be cold and her womb has also gone cold, what she needed right now was warmth and more warmth. Too bad, she had no alternative for a hot water bag, to press on her stomach. But even then this much was good enough.
" that's good" Lin Yan could see that she wasn't feeling well enough to run around like usual but her complexion seemed to have improved. Because Lin Yan wanted Su Wan to be completely fine, he worked really hard for the past few months.
Maybe it was his instinct to treat his wife as well as he could when she was in pain that made Lin Yan start rubbing Su Wan's tummy. Though Lin Yan never took care of a woman like this, his instinct to make his wife comfortable seemed to be driving his body more than his brain.
With Lin Yan's big warm hand rubbing her stomach, Su Wan didn't feel any more uncomfortable. She sighed blissfully and couldn't help but rejoice in her luck when she married with Wang Tao, no matter how sick she was, she still had to drag her cart around the town to sell her bbq. And even after dragging her body around like that, What she received at home was nothing but Wang Tao's cold indifference. He would often complain to her for not preparing dinner and making him go hungry at night, he blamed her for disrupting his studies.
At that time Su Wan was madly in love with the Gentle Wang Tao, as a villager girl she didn't realise that what Wang Tao showed her was nothing but a fake persona. Instead, she believed that it was her who wasn't doing enough, so she strived to work harder. Even though her period didn't hurt as much back then, it still caused her to feel nauseous and dizzy, but even then Su Wan remembered to cook a warm meal for Wang Tao.
Now that she remembered it, she couldn't help but think that she was really foolish. There was no such thing as you striving harder alone, a marriage was like a railway track, for it to work properly both sides of the rail track should be willing to take on the burden. If even one side tried to shirk its responsibility, an accident was inevitable.
The same happened to her and Wang Tao's marriage right?
Su Wan shook her head, not wanting to think of her bad memories anymore. Instead, she looked at Lin Yan and said " about breakfast -"
"Don't worry about it" said Lin Yan without letting her finish " I will take care of it, you just tell me what I need to do after braising the rabbit, I will prepare it accordingly. You are still sick, just keep resting. And leave everything to us, nothing will go wrong"
That was what Lin Yan said but when he delivered breakfast to Su Wan and his parents after cooking it according to Su Wan's instructions, he called his brothers to eat their breakfast. Everyone came - there was no problem in this step but -
" Ah, Rui why are you so red? And why are you shivering like this? Did you catch a cold? " Lin Yan who was putting the dishes on the dining table couldn't help but ask when he saw Lin Rui rubbing his hands together and trembling like a leaf, his brother was fine in the morning- how did he catch a fever in such a small span of time?
Qi Zhi who took his rice bowl from his sister, giggled and then spoke in a sly voice " second brother Yan, fourth brother Rui didn't catch a cold. Third brother Chen, buried him in snow. I saw him doing that, poor fourth brother was covered in snow from head to toe, third brother only left his head uncovered! Other than fourth brother Rui was totally submerged in the snow !"
Lin Yan who was serving the breakfast, paused. Then he put a hand on his waist and looked at Lin Chen with an ' are you serious ' expression. He didn't speak a word but he somehow succeeded in pressuring Lin Chen who started sweating buckets of cold sweat but still refused to deter from his stance, he resolutely looked up with a stubborn expression and said " it's not my fault! "
" you buried your younger brother in Snow! in such a cold weather until he is all shivering and trembling and you say you are not in the wrong? " exclaimed Lin Yan exasperatingly " what exactly were you trying to even do?"
" Justice!" was the only thing Lin Chen said before he took his bowl of rice and busies himself with his meal. Wasn't his fourth brother, too hot yesterday? Then he will help him quench that fire!
Lin Rui sniffed and wiped his nose with a handkerchief, he felt very wronged. How was he supposed to know that Su Wan would get her period today? Was he some kind of prophet of something? His third brother was just using him to blow off his steam!
Lin Yan was completely dumbfounded, he couldn't say anything and simply stared at Lin Chen in total disbelief. How can this brother of theirs be so vengeful? Sometimes even he couldn't help but be scared of him!
" elder brother aren't you going to say anything? " because he couldn't tie a leash on Lin Chen, Lin Yan could only hope that Lin Jing as their elder brother would be able to do so. Because without Su Wan, he was worried that Lin Chen might puncture the sky with his fist.
Lin Jing who was silently eating his meal looked up and glanced at Lin Chen, who glared back at him like a wild cat. Lin Jing was sure he heard the battle cry of a cat when his eyes met with Lin Chen, then he glanced at the shivering Lin Rui and knew that Lin Chen would never attack Lin Rui from the front and even if he did Lin Rui was more than capable to deal with him, most likely Lin Chen schemed and played his dirty tricks to make Lin Rui suffer.
Lin Jing wasn't scared of his third brother, compared to others this third brother was more straightforward and didn't do anything severe, his tricks and pranks were mostly childish as well but -
" I'm afraid of getting scratched," said Lin Jing before continuing to eat.
' you are afraid of getting scratched? Are you talking about your younger brother or a cat? ' scolded Lin Yan inwardly but then his gaze met with Lin Chen and just like that he seemed to have heard the battle cry of a cat, taunting him to try him so that he could teach him a lesson.
Lin Yan blinked his eyes, and looked away - these brothers of him was getting more and more unruly! No, he can't get scared like this - as the older one he should rein in his brothers' tempers - CRACK -A-BOOM.
That's right crack a boom. No, wait, Boom? Crack? Boom Boom?
Lin Yan who was lost in his thoughts immediately stiffened when he heard the boom boom booms coming from their front door.
Surprised he put down the porridge in his hands, he rushed out, his brothers following behind- just in time to see the front door of his house falling and crumbling down in splinters, and like an Emperor, the culprit behind it all stepped inside their house before speaking in a loud booming voice " where is my niece?!"
And Lin Yan knew his end was near.
