Chapter 23 - Alright We Are One Family, So Give Me The Money .

The Lin brothers were awkward and angry at Zhang Xiaohui 's shamelessness but they really couldn't do anything to her . Shameless or not Zhang Xiaohui was their aunt and they couldn't just refuse her blatantly . Su Wan saw her husbands turning silent one by one with constipated expressions upon their faces and snorted , no wonder these five fools were treated so badly by the Old Lin family . They were just too honest ! 

Fine since they didn't want to carry the tag of being unfilial then she will bear it . Did the old Lin family thought that she died and transmigrated as Su Wan just to get bullied by them ? Fat chance ! 

And as for her honest husbands she will teach them the ways of the crooked world slowly and make them understand how they should 'repay' someone when they mean harm to them .

Seeing that the fat pig like Zhang Xiaohui was trying to coerce her husbands into giving her family their savings , Su Wan stomped her feet from behind Lin Jing 's and came to stand in front of Her . She folded her hands in front of her chest , she looked at Zhang Xiaohui and Co , smiling she spoke up " Alright , since Aunt Zhang insist so much - I won't make trouble with you . Your family needs money right ? We will give you some for your daughter's marriage and your son's studies " 

When Zhang Xiaohui heard that Su Wan was willing taking a step back she proudly puffed out her chest and looked at her husband who furtively gave her a thumbs up which only served to make Zhang Xiaohui even proud as she straightened up her spine and cleared her throat in an important manner . See , she knew it , no matter where these stupid good of nothing run off to , they can never get out of her grasp .

See didn't they honestly brought out their money when she stepped in ? Her husband and mother in law were totally useless if they wanted to wretch out money from These bastards then they need to sell sympathy points and pressurize them instead of creating such a loud din .

" Wife -" Lin Chen worriedly pulled Su Wan's sleeves , he thought that their wife was disappointed in them now that they didn't threw their aunt and the old Lin family out of their courtyard that was why she agreed to Zhang Xiaohui 's absurd demand because their wife was tired of putting up a fight with their Aunt and the Lin family .

Lin Chen wasn't the only one who thought as such , even Lin Jing and the others believed that they have disappointed their wife . Just when Lin Jing was thinking about dragging Zhang Xiaohui out of their courtyard - Su Wan tugged on his sleeves and winked at him furtively. 

Lin Jing brows went up and down but then he nodded , pursed his lips and stepped aside . He knew that his wife might look like a frail little rabbit but she was a rabbit with piranha teeth ! Seeing that their eldest brother stepped aside silently , the others too retreated and let Su Wan deal with Zhang Xiaohui in her own manner .

Su Wan looked at Zhang Xiaohui 's victorious sneer and mockingly smiled " But I have one condition " 

Zhang Xiaohui and Lin Ze who were already in their la la land imagining what they will do after getting money from the Lin brothers were startled as they turned to stare at Su Wan .

" condition ? what condition" frowning Lin Ze asked 

" Its like this " spreading her arms wide , Su Wan spoke in an embarrassed manner " Your mother , the old madam Lin already took my husbands income for this month and she didn't let them take a single coin from her house . So , I as their wife have to step in and take out my dowry that I got from mother but the thing is that before my marriage , my dowry was under my step mother 's hand and she would sometimes take out a few taels here and there from my mother's dowry because of which my mother's dowry degraded to only a few taels and some old jewellery . Now that our family needed the money for starting from the very beginning, of course I have to take out the money as well as my jewellery . So Uncle Lin , after buying this house , farming plots and the daily necessities we our left with just ten taels ." 

" te- Ten just ten ?" after listening to Su Wan's explanation Lin Ze was stunned , at first he thought that he would pay off his debts in one go but now it looks like he has to work hard to smuggle more money from his nephews . At the same time he couldn't help but scold the greedy Su family for mooching off so much from a dead woman's dowry . 

Lin Ze who was righteously scolding Su Wan's family didn't once think that what he was doing was exactly the same thing that the Su family has been doing for years .

" How - how do we trust that you are speaking the truth , you nasty girl ?" interrupted Grandma Lin as she once again stepped forward and took charge of the matters 

Su Wan shrugged innocently and blinked her limpid eyes " its upto you , my maternal family is not a first generation rich heir at most they can take out a total of five hundred taels . And after being used up in the Su family for so many years , its not like there will be much left of it . The house costed a total of fifty taels and the farming land and rice paddies costed upto forty taels , and there is also my mother in law's medicine it took a total of one hundred and twenty taels , we still have the medicinal hall slip you can check it " with that she took the slip from Lin Rui and handed it over to the fatty Lin Che who waddled over to her at once when she said that they can check .

Grandma Lin stared at her Grandson who nodded with a long face , agreeing with what Su Wan has just said and gritted her teeth so hard that they creaked .

'These spend thrifts !' scolded Grandma Lin she wished she knew about this matter before , so that she could at least snatch a total of fifty taels in her pocket . Hundred and twenty taels ! They spent over hundred taels for this stupid woman whose feet was almost hanging in the coffin ! 

Instead of wasting their money on her they should have handed it to her and helped their old grandmother and cousin who were yet to get married and settled but no they had to pay for that sickly jinx ! 

" Fine then give us that remaining ten taels at least " though Grandma Lin 's face darkened she still needed to subsidise whatever she could , anyway these grandsons of her's were already separated who knows what will happen in the future ? What if her Lin Che really became an official won't these dead beats slow down his progress ? Its better to take whatever advantage they can gain from these bastards and kick them away at fastest way possible .

" Well cough that -" showing a hesitation filled expression Su Wan swallowed her saliva with an embarrassed 'hehe '

" what are you going back on your words ?" snapped Grandma Lin at once , in her eyes Su Wan was nothing more than a blood sucking Gu who crawled in their family and snucked inside her hard working Grandsons and made them rebel against her .

Hearing the old woman speak up in such a righteous manner , Su Wan wanted to laugh out loud in fury 'old hag , who is the one asking for money and who is the one lending you money ? Isn't your behaviour quiet inappropriate given your situation , why are you still acting in such a haughty manner ?'

But despite what Su Wan thought in her head she didn't speak it out loud , she thought that she could throw these blood sucking leeches with her shrew like behaviour but this family was clearly even more thick skinned than she thought thus it was time to change strategies !

" No , I'm not but old madam Lin , you already heard what Physician Gu said . We need to buy mother in law 's medicine every month ." said Su Wan with an eye roll " We only have ten taels in our family right now but if you want it so much then we will let you have them but you gotta sign an agreement that next month you will give us fifty taels at most "

" fifty taels ?"

" Fifty taels !"

Almost at once everyone inhaled a sharp breath and turned to look at Su Wan in a new light . Some of them even silently swore that whatever happens in the future they will never borrow money from this shrew wife of the Lin brothers .

Giving ten taels and asking for fifty , what kind of logic was this ?

" you are mad ! where will my poor family get those fifty taels ?" cried Grandma Lin her beady eyes wandering here and there .

Su Wan smirked and went hehe with a shrug as she casually explained it out to old madam Lin " old madam Lin how can you say that ? Your family is asking our entire family savings and we are ready to give it to you because you said that even without separation we are one family . Now how can you take back your words so soon ? If our family can take out our entire savings for your family when we still haven't sowed our farms and haven't planted the rice , why can't you give us fifty taels next month ? Atleast your family is better than ours . By heaven grace you are still healthy and none in your family are sick and handicapped but mine is different both my mother in law and Ah Yu needs medical care but we are still helping you out ."

As on cue Lin Yu dropped his face and sniffed looking pitiful even his eyes turned red when he heard his wife mentioning his disability that was what the villagers thought but nobody saw Lin Chen pinching Lin Yu 's waist while Lin Rui covered his third brother's actions .

Grandma Lin's face worked furiously , at first she thought about taking the money and slipping away but Su Wan already mentioned about an agreement, with this girl's intelligence it was impossible to fool her .

So what can she an old woman do ? Take out fifty taels for ten taels in exchange ?

Impossible !

" Let's go " with a darkened face Grandma Lin walked away but how will Lin Ze agree with her , he at once refused but Grandma Lin instantly exploded " you stupid son can't you see that your nephews are having a hard time here ? Do want them to die ? Come with me , we will think something else about Yunxi's marriage "

Lin Ze face turned sullen but he knew without his mother he couldn't get those ten taels thus with a sombre expression he followed after his mother .

With her mother in law and husband gone , Zhang Xiaohui wasn't willing to stay either she dragged Lin Che away with her following after her husband .

Su Wan who saw the old Lin family act , snorted and smacked the non existing dust off her hands . Look didn't she say that There was no one who can beat her in shamelessness ?
