Chapter 298 - [Bonus ] Smell Of Conspiracy
" brother Jing you are fine! Oh, thank G.o.d you are alright !" Lu Lin who saw the Lin brother coming up from the valley rushed forward and embraced Lin Jing like he finally found his long lost brother " brother Jing boohoo, I was so scared when you fell down the cliff, you have no idea how long I searched for you, and sister in law.? I would have searched for you for the entire night if not for the weather taking a turn for the worse "
Su Wan who saw Lu Lin crying felt her lips twitch in amus.e.m.e.nt, to think this young man likes her husband so much that he started crying the second he saw him.
Lin Jing who was being embraced felt a little awkward and when he caught sight of Su Wan laughing at him silently, he felt even more embarra.s.sed, he tried to push Lu Lin away but the latter was like an annoying grain of sticky rice, no matter how hard he pushed Lu Lin didn"t budge " alright Brother Lu stop crying, Aren"t I fine? Stop fussing"
" exactly, Lu Lin will you stop sobbing like this? I"m afraid that if you continue with your heartbreaking sobs, sister in law might misunderstand you and Brother Lin" teased Chen Cai as he m.u.f.fled a chuckle at Lu Lin acting like a baby brother, he knew that among the six of them Lu Lin adored Lin Jing the most.
" your mother! What nonsense are you saying ?" Lu Lin whose s.e.xuality was questioned exploded like a firecracker " you are the one who is going to be misunderstood! d.a.m.n it, if you don"t have anything nice to say don"t say anything at all! Because of you -" then he glared at Chen Cai as if he found it stupid to waste his breath on an idiotic guy like Chen Cai and turned to Su Wan" sister in law, nothing is going on between me and brother Jing, I just respect him a lot and nothing more, when I was young elder brother Jing gave me some of the game he hunted and I"m just grateful to him for that"
Though Lu Lin sincerely spoke, his words sounded weird no matter how Su Wan and the others listened to them.? This... Wasn"t this the patent dialogue of many green tea b.i.t.c.hes?
Lin Jing too realised that there was something wrong with Lu Lin"s speech and his face darkened, pushing Lu Lin away he unhappily said: "alright speaking and tell me what happened after I fell?"
" that"s right brother Jing do you know after you fell from the cliff that old b.a.s.t.a.r.d Du told the entire village that you were attacked by the wolf because you were careless and didn"t say a word about pushing you !" Lu Lin who was already upset because of Uncle Du"s actions of pushing Lin Jing to save his own dirty smelly skin was beyond infuriated when he realised that the old liar and traitor actually made himself look weak and pitiful, sounding as if ge was genuinely upset about Lin Jing"s incident " I wanted to punch him in the face but looking for you was more important thus, as soon as your brothers returned from the town, I brought them with me to search for them"
"What! That old man pushed Jing ge?" Su Wan who was surprised at this news couldn"t help but shriek, she whipped her head towards Lin Jing and asked sternly? " why didn"t you tell me? "
" well it kind of skipped my mind, " Lin Jing said with an embarra.s.sed voice, at first he was angry at Su Wan when he saw her treating her life so casually, then he fainted and after he fainted - ahem, all in all, he was too busy to remember about such a small character like Uncle Du " but why are you asking about him?"
" Because he was the one who told me that you fell from the cliff," said Su Wan with a frown at first she thought that she was thinking too much but the more she thought about it now, she realised that everything smelled of a conspiracy.
" WHAT?" shouted Lin Jing, Lin Rui and Lin Yu
" THAT OLD MAN I WILL KILL HIM" on the other hand Lin Chen growled menacingly
" So that"s what happened, " said Lin Yan as he pulled Lin Chen back by his collar stopping the latter from rushing to Uncle Du and doing something stupid in his anger, but then he looked at Su Wan and reproachfully scolded her " but you too Wan Wan, no matter what happened you shouldn"t have run out like that. You were lucky that our eldest brother found you before anything happened to you but have you thought about what if he didn"t find you? What will have happened to us? Do you know mother is still crying at home because she couldn"t stop you, she fainted twice because she was worried about you... If not for the village head, she too would have run after you to look for you "
Su Wan didn"t say anything, she knew she was in the wrong because she was too worried about Lin Jing she completely forgot about the people whom she was leaving behind but she didn"t regret what she did.
" don"t scold her, she did it because she was worried about me," said Lin Jing though he agreed with Lin Yan he didn"t want his second brother to scold Su Wan in front of everyone, he gently patted Su Wan"s head and then added " but Ah Yan is right, if something happens like this in the future stay at home your husbands are more than capable to look after themselves "
" exactly!" chimed Lin Chen "my eldest brother once fought with a tiger with his bare hands yet he was able to come out alive, it was the tiger who was unfortunate to meet my eldest brother who is the most skilled hunter in the village!"
Though Lin Chen was jealous of his eldest brother but he still adored Lin Jing, thus, he was the first to sing praises of his brother in front of Su Wan telling her the greatness of his brother.
" I won"t do it anymore," said Su Wan, though everyone could hear her light tone, as she spoke airily. They knew she would definitely do it again if the situation called for it " but why didn"t you all return from the town on time? Didn"t you say you will be back in just a few hours ?"
Su Wan who don"t want to continue talking about this hurriedly change the topic.
" well....last night was really weird," said Lin Rui looking thoroughly confused " when we reached the town someone pickpocketed second brothers pouch but luckily we distributed the money among each other so not much was lost, but we still had to report about the lost money. After that..... Someone hit an old woman in front of us and we had to take the lady to the doctor...such things continued to happen last night"
"To make matters worse somehow Brother Sheng"s ox got sick in the middle of the road," said Lin Yan frowning unhappily " we had to get down from the cart and help Brother Sheng take the ox to a vet that was why I sent someone to borrow the ox-cart who would have thought they would rush to our house and call for Lin Chen "
" Doctor Gu told me that Zhi are something bad and needed to v...vomit it all out " answered Lin Yu looking at Su Wan, his eyes were flickering and it was clear that he was thinking in the same line as Su Wan, " I asked Qi Zhi what he ate, but Qi Zhi said he only ate what we did, so it"s really weird that only he got sick "
" That"s what I think too, because when I came here....I didn"t fall from the cliff on my own, someone pushed me" said Su Wan with furrowed brows " I think someone deliberately did everything last night according to a plan"
