Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 233 - Raised Us ?

Chapter 233 - Raised Us ?

Lin Yan's expression sank, he didn't want to admit that these two women were related to their family, he didn't even think twice before ruthlessly refusing Madam Zhang " I have already said that we won't lend you our family's rice. So why are you talking so much nonsense? Can't you understand simple words? No, means no ! "

He knew the character of the old Lin family, they loved to take advantage of the weak. If he lend them rice tonight then they would definitely come to borrow rice from the family tomorrow and even after the day after tomorrow. They were the kind of people who wouldn't think twice before leeching of, of any person who showed them even the minimal amount of kindness.

And what was borrowed was supposed to be returned but was The Old Lin family someone who would repay what they owe? Of course not!

If he agreed to lend them even a single rice grain then they would definitely try to make the most out of their family. Forget about returning the borrowed rice, they might try to take advantage of them! He used to endure it because he was worried about them bullying his sick mother and injured younger brother but now he wasn't willing to let them take any more advantage of his family.

He hadn't forgotten how this family has treated Lin Yu when the latter was injured, even when it was their family's responsibility! He would never forget that because of their greediness and ruthlessness, he agreed to become the servant of that old perverted woman. That night when Lin Yu was pushed off the cliff, he has begged these two women.

He and his elder brother had gone on their knees and even banged their foreheads on the ground to beg their old grandmother to return their daily wages.

But what did the old woman say back then?

This old woman has looked down at him and his brother contemptuously back then all while ruthlessly sneering? ' that little brat is such a jinx. It's good if he dies, what's the point of saving that ill star? He is obstructing my Che 'er's path to success, if not for him -with my Che 'er smarts how will he not succeed in the examination ?'

Back then no matter how much Lin Yan begged, these two women didn't even budge. Instead, they kept cursing his little brother, if they didn't push him and his brothers in a corner then he would've never accepted the job of becoming a male servant for that woman.

His anger from the past was yet to dissipate yet here they were intensifying it. But this time he will not endure, there was no need to endure!

When Old Grandma Lin heard Lin Yan refuse her without giving her any face, she jumped in anger as she pointed at him, before she started yelling furiously "how dare you! You little brat! Have you forgotten that this old lady was the one who raised you and your good for nothing brothers! When your father passed away I was the one who gave you a roof to stay and even let you eat off my table! You stayed at my home and ate my family's grains for ten years! Ten whole years yet you dare refuse this old lady? I am your grandmother who raised you, fed you, gave you clothes to wear but now that this old grandmother has come to beg for food from your family you are refusing me !"

Lin Yan's eyes turned cold, it would have been better if Old Grandmother Lin didn't bring up the past. His cold gaze swept right over to Old Grandma Lin's face, his cold gaze was sharp just like a sharpened knife that really wanted to skin Old Grandma Lin's thick face.

His lips curled as an enraged snarl rumbled in his throat " you raised us, brothers? Are you really that shameless to say that you raised me and my brothers? When my father was alive he was the one responsible for bringing money to the family, your son didn't even leave the house except on days when he left for town to gamble. When everyone thought that our father was dead - we arranged our father's funeral, his mourning day didn't even pass yet you sent my older brother to hunt in the forest! Lin Chen was working in the fields while I was forced to go to the docks to earn some extra money. That too wasn't enough for you, even with the three of us working you thought that the money was too little, so you forced Ah Rui to quit his studies and start working as well! Do you dare to say that Lin Che is better than Ah Rui? Ah Rui was even praised by the teacher of the academy! But what about Lin Che? We brothers were working outside while Ah Yu and mother were being pushed by you lot to do the housework. Even after working so much did my brothers and I ever have a complete meal or a warm blanket in winters ?"

Whether it was spring, autumn or winter - the old Lin family didn't even give them a thick blanket. Their mother used all their old clothes and tried to make blankets for them but their old clothes were so tattered and thin that forget about making a thick blanket they barely covered their bodies. Their grandmother was petty and always looked at them with suspicion, she was worried that the brothers might try to sneak in the kitchen and eat something that was left behind by their family, so she wouldn't even let them enter the main house.? Their family had no choice but to spend the cold winters in the small woodshed next to the pigpen.

Every single night that they spent in the old shed was sheer torture for their family. The brothers would huddle together trying to warm each other but the winters were so cold that even after squeezing together they would still tremble at night. As for Mother Lin, it was better not to even think about it - if he and his brothers weren't so useless then their mother's illness wouldn't get so bad.

Luckily they had a tough physique and didn't freeze to death! If they were able to stay alive till now it was all because of their good karma, Old Grandma Lin played no role in it - no, wait, she did play a role.

If she didn't torture them so much then their bodies wouldn't have gotten used to their sufferings!
