Chapter 71 - Couldn"t Utter A Peep
Su Wan c.o.c.ked an eyebrow then looked at the village head who was apologising profusely and then at Luo Chenxi who was so mad that her cheeks turned red , and finally her gaze turned to Madam Liu who was still clutching her cheek and staring at her husband dumbfoundedly , seeing her so dumbstruck Su Wan clicked her tongue in annoyance , such a stupid woman , can"t she understand that her actions would do nothing but bring trouble to her husband ?
But to her it didn"t matter if Madam Liu could understand this or not , the only thing that mattered to her was , Luo Chenxi eyeing her husband !
" Its not that I want to create trouble out of nothing village head " said Su Wan solemnly " its your wife and daughter who came asking for trouble , have you even heard their shouts ? They were screaming so loudly that their screams could be heard from miles afar , that was just so embarra.s.sing ! I wasn"t trying to rob them of money or beauty but they acted so fiercely towards me , your daughter stood in my family field day dreaming and those leeches got stuck upon her wrist when she was busy with her momentarily loss of attention , I kindly woke her up but instead of thanking me she started blaming me , isn"t this the matter of thief calling the other person thief.? If that wasn"t bad enough your wife rushed at me like I have murdered her entire family , I helped your daughter by timely rescuing her if not who knows how long your daughter might have stood in my family"s field letting the leeches suck her blood - she is already sixteen , give or take , how is she not aware that a person need to pay proper attention while working in a rice paddy ?"
Don"t like me ? Haha I will paint you as an lady that was not likeable at all !
" What nonsense ! " spluttering Madam Liu stood up finally done shaking off her daze like a wet dog " my daughter is hard working and beautiful ! She kindly suggested to work in your family"s field and help you because she saw how far behind you and your family is and this is how you repay her ? If she got leeches stuck in her wrist you could have helped her in some other way , why did you have to scare her into jumping !"
" Kindly help us ? Madam you are quite wrong there , your daughter did suggest to help in our family "s field but my husband already refused her " want to play the sympathy card , see your face before you try to play that in front of her , Su Wan ! She had seen this card a lot of times when her step mother asked for money for Su Lan for her studies, but the truth was that her step sister wanted the money to shop clothes and watch movies , her hard earned money was s.n.a.t.c.hed from her hands just so that mother and daughter pair could waste it ! But even if her money was s.n.a.t.c.hed , Su Wan made a point that everyone in her neighbourhood , their locality and even the shops and malls staff knew what kind of women her step mother and step sister was , so these kinds of tricks , Su Wan was well aware how to deflect them " we never asked your daughter for help because we already know how busy everyone is with the autumn farming but your daughter insisted herself and when my husband refused she sat down on her own accord , how is it that we refused to acknowledge her goodwill , when we never asked for it ? And Your daughter didn"t help much either , just look at the patch that she cleaned and then look at my the clean patches that my husbands cleaned , they completed more than half a field by themselves and there is only a small patch left and that"s exactly where your daughter was sitting if it was left to my husband it would have been cleaned by now , I will say that instead of helping us out your daughter only proved much of an hindrance than help !"
" You ! Watch your mouth !" Luo Chenxi had enough being insulted by a shared wife , the humiliation was simply too much for her to handle , she angrily jumped and pointed at Su Wan " At least I helped out in the fields what about you ? You were just lazying around , sitting there while watching your husbands work , aren"t you ashamed , being a shared wife and yet acting like a mistress ? You are a shared wife so act like one !"
" Yes I"m a shared wife so what ?" Now that Luo Chenxi was not bothering with her fake niceness , Su Wan couldn"t be bothered to keep a smile either , she arrogantly harrumphed and said " my husbands are nice and cannot bear to see me work so hard in the fields that"s why they didn"t allow me to enter the field , its my good Karma from my past life that I got such a nice husbands if you have the luck go and find one for yourself but seeing you act like such , I"m afraid only a brash idiot would like to marry you "
Lin Chen felt a warm breeze flutter in his heart as he heard Su Wan call him good looking , even Lin Jing and Lin Rui were having a hard time suppressing the proud expression that was etching upon their faces.
Luo Chenxi had no retort for this after all what Su Wan said was right , every single Lin brother was nice and even if they were not nice , they looked so good that Any girl would have willingly married them for their good looks alone if not for they poor background .
Since Luo Chenxi couldn"t retort she could only glare resentfully at Su Wan .
Madam Liu however was really unhappy, she was used to terrorising the villagers and no one had ever refuted her much less try to embarra.s.s her daughter like this , she opened her mouth to chid Su Wan but her husband who has really sharp eyes , glared at her and mouthed " shut up " .
Even though Madam Liu didn"t want to , she was truly afraid of her husband she knew that if she said something right now , her husband might deal with her at home , thus she shut her mouth and didn"t utter a peep .
