Chapter 770: Till the end

Name:Shrewd wife of Lin brothers Author:
Chapter 770: Till the end" Mother, when did you return?" Su Wan did not hear about the return of her in-laws at all, did her husbands think that she will be upset if they were to tell her about the return of their mother though she was slightly upset with Lin Yan's matter, she never wanted to hold a grudge against her mother in law!         

" We just returned, your father and I were still thinking about whether we should go to the City of a maze but then we got Ah Rui's letter in which he said that you all will be moving to the great ocean city, it is very far from our small town and I was worried that by the time we finished our trip, you will give birth to our grandson already, which is why I and your father returned without sending any letter," When Mother Lin was explaining her face was a bit awkward she was afraid that Su Wan would think too much and end up misunderstanding her which was why she explained in great detail.      

As she finished speaking she even peeked at Su Wan carefully, even though she had spent quite a lot of months going around trying to repent for her actions, Mother Lin was still a bit careful around Su Wan because she was afraid that the latter would still be holding on to the past.     

When Su Wan heard Mother Lin's explanation she realised that she was reading too much into the situation and ended up misunderstanding her husbands and when she saw how careful Mother Lin was being around her, she was even more awkward. Though what happened in the past was indeed Mother Lin's fault she had no intention of holding onto the past which was why she went forward and took the initiative to hold Mother Lin's hand and said,      

"It's great that you are back, mother. I was afraid that I will end up suffering while living with these boorish men who do not know how to treat a pregnant woman."      

Lin Chen and the other boorish men: "….." though they agreed with what Su Wan said, they still can't help but feel slightly upset.      

Mother Lin knew that this was Su Wan's way of telling her that she had forgiven her and her eyes turned red, she patted Su Wan on the back of her hand and then said, " Good girl, you are a good girl."      

Behind the two women, Father Lin heaved a sigh of relief. Actually, the two of them wanted to return long ago but his wife kept feeling guilty and continued to refuse to return home it was after a long time that she was able to summon her courage to come back home.      

Seeing that Su Wan was not willing to harp on the past incidents anymore, Father Lin also smiled and walked towards Lin Chen and patted him on the shoulder, " You have worked hard son."      

When Lin Rui and the rest wrote them letters and told them that they have brought a new house he and his wife thought that it was just a small house with a single courtyard and several rooms but he never expected that his sons were able to buy a house with several courtyards! And on the street that he and his wife used to avoid back in their days since they were always shooed away with the rags that they wore on their bodies.      

" I did not do it all alone," said Lin Chen as he shyly accepted his father's praise behind him Lin Rui brought some fresh tea and cakes that were sitting on the kitchen cabinet and placed them all on the tea table before asking, " Father, how was your trip to the countryside?"      

….     

" It was really peaceful." Mother Lin took a sip of her tea as she looked around the beautiful courtyard and sighed, she never thought that she will one day enjoy such a leisurely sight. In the past, she was always worried about what to feed her sons the next day and had to rush up her embroidery work to earn more money, when did she ever think that she will one day sit in such a beautiful courtyard and sip on tea?      

It was her sons' good fortune that they were able to marry someone like Su Wan or else they would have suffered with her.      

She took out a small pendant that she brought with her from the old Buddhist temple and handed it to Su Wan who took it carefully. " I brought this with your father, the old monk there told me that his blessings will keep the mother and child safe, wear it if you like."      

Mother Lin didnt want to force Su Wan for anything, if she liked her intention then she can of course wear the pendant but if she did not then Mother Lin was not going to ask her to do so.      

Fortunately, Su Wan did not make things difficult for Mother Lin when she saw that Mother Lin was genuinely concerned about her, she wore the pendant and then smiled at Mother Lin obediently, " You should have sent me a letter Mother, I would have asked Ah Jing or Ah Yan to bring you back home."      

" There is no need, those two must be busy with taking care of things,'" Mother Lin had thought things through, she no longer wanted to care about such things. " I know that you all must be having a difficult time with everything that is going on around you, I heard from Ah Rui that someone is targeting you for a long time."      

Su Wan pursed her lips and wanted to tell Mother Lin the truth, in fact now that her husbands knew about her identity it was only right that Mother Lin knew about it too lest that woman in the capital made things difficult for her and took her by surprise but to her surprise, before she could say anything, she heard Mother Lin say,      

" I don't know many things Wan Wan, but what I do know is my sons' lives got better ever since you came to stay next to them …" Mother Lin gave Su Wan a look and then smiled. " I will be glad if you stay next to them till the end."
