Chapter 54 - Crow Feet

At this time Su Wan who was happily bustling around the kitchen didn't know that Lin Chen was actually bragging about last night in front of his brothers , which made Lin Chen really lucky because if Su Wan knew that he actually shared their bedroom details in front of others even if they were his brothers , she would have been mad enough to bar him out of her bedroom for three weeks straight . But Su Wan who was too happy about finally having a filling breakfast had no desire to walk in and eavesdrop on the brothers conversation.

This morning she was fairly lucky because Lin Chen was the one who was responsible for bringing wood from the forest but since he was cough busy cough *ahem* lapping up his desert before the breakfast , the responsibility to bring fell on Lin Yan . 

Except him everyone was busy , Lin Rui was studying because he wanted to impress the headmaster of the academy when he go for his admission and Lin Yu had trouble walking with his limp leg , even without a burden he couldn't walk properly thus with a pile of wood it was impossible for him to return back home without hurting his leg even more . As for Lin Jing he was busy weaving the straw thatches , thus , Lin Yan had to go and bring in the fire wood instead of Lin Chen. 

Which in turn thankfully gave her enough time to wash up and take charge of the kitchen , right now she was waiting for Lin Yan to chop up the wood and bring it into the kitchen . 

Cooking a delicious breakfast was important but teaching Lin Yan was important as well ! They couldn't just continue selling one single dish at the restaurant can they ? 

Today she decided to cook Egg Foo Yung with gravy , it was one of the beloved dishes in her restaurant of course she wasn't the one who invented it but because she learned it from an authentic Chinese Indonesian restaurant , the taste of her Egg Foo Yung was better than others . 

And she was certain that this dish will be even popular when she introduce it in her restaurant comparable to this era 's pancake-omelet, Egg Foo Yung had a savory taste with the richness of different proteins and vegetables. 

Just as she was salivating over the thought of eating Egg foo Yung , Lin Yan came with a big pile of fire wood , when Su Wan looked at him , she realized that compared to his usual appearance he looked a little more angry and cold today .

Looking at this walking talking personal air conditioner of a husband , she really didn't know what to say , should she ask who peed in his bed ? But then she looked at that angry scowl and rejected the idea , whatever , as long as this guy doesn't bark at her like a mad dog , she doesn't need to kick him to the curb. 

" you are here , let's get started " rubbing her hands , Su Wan pointed at the ingredients on the counter . 

Lin Yan whose head was bowed stiffened and looked at her with a peculiar expression , for a second Su Wan thought that he looked rather smug about something but when she looked at his face again , it was gone . ... Was she hallucinating ? Or this husband of her's had gone mad ? Why did he look like as if somebody kicked his puppy one second and smug as hell as if he had won a lottery in the next ? What was going on his head .

Su Wan was confused but Lin Yan was pleased as satiated tiger , so what if Lin Chen cuddled and kissed and did what nots with Their wife , with his cooking skills , won't he be the one who will be more time with their wife including the nights when it will be his turn to sleep with Su Wan ? Humph , how childish . His third brother was really so naive it was too pitiful , its good thing that he didn't lower himself to his third brother 's level .

Lin Chen who was still day dreaming about his next turn sneezed loudly , rubbing his nose he looked around , who in the world was talking bad about him ? Who was daring enough to scheme against him ???

With so many changes in Lin Yan's expression it was safe to say that Su Wan was completely bemused but then her stomach rumbled and she quickly threw the matter in the back of her head . Whatever just take it as him being weird .

" Go wash your hands and I will teach you a new dish " said Su Wan " You better learn it well because the sooner you learn the sooner we will be able to introduce it to our customers " 

" don't worry , I will go to the restaurant today once I learn " said Lin Yan as he went outside and took some water from the wooden container placed outside the kitchen and cleaned his hands .

" today ? " seeing his eagerness even Su Wan was stunned , didn't they just went to the town yesterday and taught Little shi how to cook Sainsbury's fish steak and mushroom? Was there a need for Lin Yan to go there so soon ? With Manager Wang shouldn't everything be fine .

Lin Yan must have understood what was going in her head from her expression because he rolled his eyes and spoke in a clear and concise manner " Our restaurant is finally on the track and we really did earn a lot yesterday but just because its on track doesn't mean that everything will be fine . Manager Wang can control the bad elements and he can also take care of how the restaurant is functioning but can he control the Su family ? They might have already taken the last month's earning but it wouldn't take long for them to learn about how well the restaurant is doing now ; its better for me or someone from our family to look after Eat delicious until we are more firmly established " 

" I forgot about them " said Su Wan simply once Lin Yan finished explaining .Of course she forgot all about the Su family , and why won't she ? Why will she let that family live in her head rent free ? As long as they don't bother her , she won't bother with them but then again with their thick skin , it would be a surprise that the Su family doesn't bother her " you are right , its better to be safe then sorry " 

Even though Su Wan tried really hard to integrate herself in the ancient era she still slipped every now and then , just like right now , she completely forgot that unlike the modern time the Su family could really loot her restaurant if they wanted to in the name of 'filial peity ', Manager Wang couldn't stop them only she or husbands can put a stop to the Su family greedy antics .

" That's right " seeing that Su Wan a bit listless , Lin Yan thought that she was feeling upset remembering yesterday 's event thus he hurriedly patted her head a bit clumsily and said in an awkward manner " don't be sad , you still have me and my brothers , we will be your family also If you frown like that you will get crow feet when you get older " 

Su Wan : I'm telling you I'm not upset ! Where did you see me getting upset , and crow feet? You are the one with crow feet , your mother ! I'm still young and pretty !
