Shrewd wife of Lin brothers,Chapter 347 - A Child? - Read free novels online

Lu Sheng beamed when he saw Su Wan and the two Lin brothers, he has long heard about Lin Rui becoming the top scholar. He grinned then jumped off his cart before patting Lin Rui on the shoulder" will you look at that, I can't believe that the top scorer blessed my cart by coming to me!"

Lin Rui's entire face flushed red but anyone with eyes could see that his expression was brimming with happiness, but he still took the polite route and shook his head " what's with this formal speech, brother Sheng? We are still brothers, aren't we? So there is no need for you to tease me like this, it's making me embarrassed"

"Haha! You are still the same, just as shy as ever," said Lu Sheng poking his elbow in Lin Rui's ribs in a sly manner as he whispered, " you better change for the better or how will I be able to carry my nephew or niece in the future?"

Though Lu Sheng whispered, he was one of those loud guys who no matter how much they try to tone their voice down they just couldn't do it. So, everyone heard what he said, Lin Rui blushed furiously, while Su Wan went pale she had no intention of giving birth for the next five years so as to enjoy her youth. Lin Jing frowned, silently swearing to be the first one who will make Su Wan pregnant in the future.

On the other hand, Shen Junxi's face went entirely black. If not for Lu Sheng being a complete stranger, he would have knocked him out cold! What child? His Wan Wan was still a baby girl! What child!

He couldn't say anything to Lu Sheng so he could only glare at Lin Rui as if trying to transmit his message through telepathy.

Lin Rui of course didn't understand the ' if you try to impregnate my niece, I will rip your think off and chop it into tiny pieces before feeding it to my pigs ' glare, but his back indeed felt chillier than usual. He understood that his life was in imminent danger and hurriedly spoke " brother Sheng, is Uncle Wu still alright? I haven't seen him for a while"

Uncle Wu fought with Lin Ze a few months ago and broke his leg, though the matter ended then and there but ever since then Uncle Wu stopped driving the cart and left it completely in hands of his son in law, Lu Sheng.

And he was hardly seen in the village, Lin Rui had only seen him a couple of times though he was walking with the help of a walking stick.

" he is alright, just an injury at such an old age, it's not easy to recover from that" sighed Lu Sheng as his mind was successfully diverted. Though his father in law managed to get away with his life, he was severely hurt by Lin Ze and Grandma Lin. The two nearly broke his leg into pieces, if not for Lu Sheng and Wu Muan interfering in the fight, Uncle Wu would have lost his leg forever " he says that he had worked for quite a lot of year's and now wants to take a peaceful retirement - oh and before I forget. He wished you the very best Rui and " he turned to Su Wan and added " he said he was wrong and shouldn't have acted like that towards you"

Uncle Wu wanted to apologise in person but his broken leg made it impossible for him to walk, he could hardly walk for half an hour before he has so to sit down much less walk all the way to Lin brothers house, and because of his discomfort he couldn't even sit on the cart with ease - of course, these were just petty excuses, Uncle Wu was too embarrassed to face Lin brothers whom he never showed a good face and supported that greedy, sneaky bastard Lin Ze.

Su Wan didn't see that coming nor did she remember about such a small thing. In fact, when Lu Sheng told her that Uncle Wu actually said those words to apologise to her, she had to actually comb her mind to remember about the incident for which Uncle Wu apologised, only then did she realise that Lu Sheng was talking about the first time, she took Uncle Wu's oxcart.

Shen Junxi didn't know what happened so he looked at Su Wan so that she can elaborate but Su Wan simply shook her head and indicated that it was a small matter though she didn't accept the apology completely " it's alright, things like that usually happen I don't blame him"

Lu Sheng was a smart man, he had once worked on the docks and knew that Su Wan was only displaying the basic courtesy because he told her that his father in law apologised but haven't accepted it.

Lu Sheng grinned and then returned two of the for copper coins that Lin Jing gave him " take it back, today my business was good and I was just going back home, but now that you are here I will take you all to town as a friend but not as a profiter"

Su Wan and the others understood that it was his own way of making up for what Uncle Wu did months ago, though they didn't lack such a small amount of money, it was Lu Sheng's goodwill so Su Wan thanked him, she could feel Lu Sheng's kindness and good intention. The family of three sat on the ox cart, as the cart was empty, Su Wan and Lin Rui could sit down comfortably with blankets covering them. Even Lin Jing snuggled inside while Shen Junxi who wanted to know what exactly, Uncle Wu did, sit down in front with Lu Sheng and chatted continuously about this and that as he tried to dig out all the information that skipped from his reach.

Lu Sheng had nothing to hide either, what his father in law did was no secret. At first he was surprised when he heard that Shen Junxi was Su Wan's uncle but then he more or less understood the situation.

Because the cart had no other passengers apart from them, they reached the town in less than an hour.
