" you - you want to go town , Yu ?" Lin Yan was really shocked and no one could blame him for that , Lin Yu was such a shut in that even thousands of shut in couldn't possibly compete with him . And Now , that shut in , introverted Lin Yu was saying that he wanted to go to town on his accord, on - his - own - ACCORD ! Why in the world will Lin Yan not be surprised , he still remembers the last time he asked Lin Yu to come with him to the city because he wanted a doctor to check on Lin Yu 's limp leg but Lin Yu who had a very low self esteem, refused point blankly , and when he tried to force him - his little brother locked himself in his room , after that Mother Lin scolded Lin Yan fiercely , saying that he shouldn't bully his brother like that - Lin Yan tried to fight his case by saying that he just wanted the best for his brother but Mother Lin simply told him that he had no tact and he should let Lin Yu calm down after his accident before mentioning a doctor to him again , Lin Yan of course knew that after being given the bad news of his leg never recovering one after the other by the doctors of village and town , Lin Yu was disappointed - any way that wasn't what was important right now , what important was Lin Yu actually asked to go to the town on his own !
" Y..yes" stuttered Lin Yu in embarrassment when he saw that every one was looking at him , Su Wan didn't want to but when she saw that the other family member reacted in such a hoo and haah manner , she too looked up to see what was happening .
Mother Lin silently remembered what happened a few years ago too but she didn't say it , instead she smiled and said " Ah Yu , I am really proud of you for trying . I never thought that I will be able to see a day where you will try to change yourself, is it something to do with those dresses you are designing ?"
Lin Yu looked a bit shy with everyone's attention on him but he still nodded with an embarrassed smile " yea , I.. I want to do some…something for the fa…family too . I can't just st…stay at ho..home and Wan Wan sa…said also has a lot ex..expectations fro..from me . I ca..can't let her down , a hu..husband shou..should do wh..what a wife exp..expects from him . And now I'm a m..married man , I can't re..rely on my br..brothers "
Mother Lin was so overwhelmed with Lin Yu 's speech that she started sobbing , that made everyone stunned even more , just as Lin Jing raised from his seat ,mother Lin waved her hand to make him sit down again " its nothing ' sniff ' its nothing " wiping her eyes on the embroidered handkerchief ,Mother Lin smiled gently , she looked at Su Wan and said kindly " Wan Wan you are really this family's lucky charm ever since you came , nothing have been going wrong for us . Now we have a good number of fields and our income is stabilised too , even Ah Yu has started to come out of his shell , I don't know how should I thank you ?"
Su Wan who was chewing her mantou with relish , was stunned when she heard her mother in law , she immediately swallowed her mantou and said " mother there is no need for thanks with in the family , is there ? Ah Yu is my husband as well , I - I will of course encourage him but its not my own efforts alone that Ah Yu is trying to change , no one can change without their own efforts , Ah Yu had worked hard as well "
Though she said that Su Wan was really confused in her mind , when did she say that she had a lot of expectations from Lin Yu , did he mistook her suggestions as her expectations ?
But she was quite clear in what she was saying wasn't she ? So how come he came to this conclusion ?
She glanced at Lin Yu who was looking at her with eyes that were shining like little stars because of her praise , and shook her head inwardly whatever , as long as the misunderstandings doesn't cause any harm , its alright .
Lin Yan glanced at Lin Yu who looked a little afraid but excited then looked down at his cold mantou , of course he was happy that his brother was trying hard but as an elder brother he was still worried but Lin Yan didn't want to ruin Lin Yu 's happy mood thus , he hesitated only for a second before nodding " alright , You can come to the town with me but remember if you get too tired you have to tell me , don't push yourself into working too hard, okay.? "
Lin Yu was worried that his brother who worried about his health too much would refuse, he knew how much his second brother worried about him , because even the slightest exertion caused him to fall sick but now that his second brother had agreed and there was a chance to go to town , Lin Yu nodded and immediately agreed to whatever , His second brother was saying " of course , I won't over exert myself Second brother . Wan Wan why don't you come with us too ? You have nothing to do at home right?"
Su Wan did have some work , now that the seeds were sown , Lin Jing was preparing to go to the mountains and she wanted to go with him and check out what she could scavenge from the mountains but seeing Lin Yu 's eager expression , Su Wan couldn't bear to reject him and agreed "Alright , I will come with you I had nothing to do either and there are some things that I wanted to buy as well "
As she spoke she hurriedly took a warm mantou from the steamer and placed it in Lin Jing 's bowl and furtively winked when Lin Yu was busy chewing his own food . Lin Jing blinked when Su Wan winked at him suddenly but he understood what she meant by doing this , he was really happy that their wife was so tactful !
Just because she didn't want Lin Yu to feel bad, she immediately changed her plans and decided to follow him to the town , Lin Jing was sure that his wife had nothing to buy in the town but she said so to make Lin Yu happy in case the latter thought that he was causing trouble for her .
Such a wonderful wife how could he not , fulfil this little wish of her , he took the mantou from his bowl and nodded at her , ensuring her that he will take her to the mountains with him tomorrow.
Su wan saw that Lin Jing agreed and happily went back to eating her breakfast . Having such doting husbands could be such a blessing sometimes !
