Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 199 - Idiot

Chapter 199 - Idiot

On Su Wan's side she had no inkling that on this trip she surprisingly gained a father in law . Instead after packing up , their group? left the main market and wandered around as they searched for a foreman to repair their house . They passed by a pastry shop and Su Wan brought a few snacks , in the given situation it was better to stock up , who knows when the prices of these snacks flare up like everything else ?

Just as she walked out of the pastry shop munching on water chestnut while Lin Jing paid the shopkeeper behind her , there she saw that the opposite to the pastry shop - a new building was being built . Unlike their house that was completely made of wood and straw thatches , this house was built with brick tiles . It looked much stronger and steadier than the house in the Dong Tong village . Su Wan pursed her lips , in her past life she didn't even flinch when she spent more than five million to buy that luxurious apartment? but now even the thought of living in a brick house was like a dream to her . She really wanted to live a better life but the road to success wasn't easy , she too wanted to build a good seven storey house but given their family's condition it was currently impossible .

Su Wan sighed but then suppressed the negative voice in her head . So what if she couldn't live in a brick house now ? As long as she worked hard she will able to build it sooner or later , or maybe by then she will build an even more amazing house than this one !

But for now , her eyes flickered with a clever glint as she rushed forward and tugged on Lin Rui 's sleeves " Ah Rui , I think if we ask the big brother working there , he might tell us from where we can buy the wood to repair our house , we can -"

Lin Rui looked over in the direction where Su Wan was pointing and thought about it , his wife was right . Neither he or his eldest brother had any idea where to buy the materials for building home , since neither of them have ever needed to repair their house before . So , it was quite sensible to ask someone who was related to the job instead of loitering around the market without any idea where to start looking .

Thus , he walked forward towards the young man who was aligning the bricks on the wall - then called to the foreman without listening to what Su Wan was saying " this big brother , can I ask you something ?"

The young foreman was deeply focussed in his work thus when someone shouted behind him , he was startled and suddenly let go of the brick that was in his hand .

The brick slipped from his hand was headed directly in Lin Rui 's direction . Lin Rui who didn't thought of this outcome was startled and shocked - he was so scared that he completely forgot about dodging the brick that was heading in his direction .

If the brick really hit his head - its going to smash his head open ! Ah !

Seeing that brick was almost on top of his head and there was nothing he could do - Lin Rui closed his eyes ready to bear the consequences of his stupid actions . Honestly , why did he had to act in such a hasty manner ? Couldn't he just wait for the foreman brother to be done ?

He was already prepared for the brick to fall on his head and knock him unconscious but then he felt sudden pain at his waist as if someone had thrown themselves at him , and the next thing he knew was he was spun around before his back hit the ground .

On his left , he heard the loud thump of the brick hitting the ground and inwardly shuddered .

' God , I was almost smashed to death just now '

" Are you stupid !" a furious yet worried voice rang in his ear and Lin Rui opened his eyes , only to see that his entire vision was obscured by Su Wan 's tiny face that was flushed red as she panted with either rage or tiredness " are you out of your mind ? What were you thinking ! Who told you to rush inside like that ? I did say that we can ask the foreman brother for help but I didn't ask you to rush in while it was still dangerous why didn't you listened to what I was saying before you rushed , you stupid idiot !"

Su Wan was really angry and flustered this time , she was still talking to Lin Rui - asking him to go inside with her in the tea shop next to pastry shop and have some snacks and tea until it was the foreman and his brothers lunch time but before she could finish the half unconscious idiot was already walking towards the foreman - only she knows how scared she was when she saw that the brick falling on Lin Rui . But instead of dodging , this idiot stood still ,Su Wan almost lost her life when she saw this scary scene . If something really happened to Lin Rui she wouldn't have been able to forgive herself ever because he went to this dangerous place because of her suggestion !

" Young man are you okay ?" The foreman who was working immediately stopped what he was doing and came down - worried about Lin Rui 's safety " I'm sorry but you startled me and , I apologise - I should have kept a firm grip -"

" why are you apologising ? " snorted Su Wan as she helped Lin Rui on his feet , the first thing she did was to hurriedly check whether Lin Rui was really alright and when she saw that he was indeed unharmed , she heaved a sigh of relief before glaring at the latter " its his fault that he rushed inside this place without caring about his safety . Even a five year old would be smarter than him , humph !"

Lin Rui rubbed his nose uncomfortably , actually he couldn't say anything because he was in the wrong this time . Ever since he was a child , he was a bit introverted and liked being alone to make matter worse he was an over-thinker thus his mind would usually wander off in between .. Today he had a lot to think about after meeting with Headmaster Yuan and everything that happened , in the end his overthinking went so far that he ended up wandering off in some other plane and didn't listen to what Su Wan was saying .
