Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 171 - Harvest Vegetables

Su Wan didn't know that she was going to have a hard time tonight instead after freshening up and giving Lin Jing a smack on his head for making her late . She carefully supported herself as her legs were much too shaky to walk properly , thus she supported herself against the wall then put on her shoes and slowly walked out of her room.

Gosh , these men were so energetic . She cried inwardly as she dragged herself to the kitchen where Lin Yan had kept her breakfast . Su Wan was having a hard time walking without her legs trembling like they were put on vibration and on the other hand Lin Jing was already up and about chopping firewood in the courtyard .

She suppressed the urge to go ahead and slap him again on the back of his head , then as quickly as she could finished her breakfast and headed to the hot spring room . It has been more than a month and Su Wan was sure that a month was long enough for the vegetables with shorter period of growth? to grow up .

Thus , when she entered her private? thermal room and picked up the straw thatches that Lin Jing and the others kept over their vegetables to keep them warm , revealing tender , green vegetables seedlings . About seventy to eighty percent of the room was used to plant vegetables and with the help of their natural thermal resource - the growth period of the crops was? incredibly shortened . Therefore , Su Wan wasn't surprised when she saw that within half a month vegetables like green leafy spinach , lettuce were already ready to be harvested .

The glistening water droplets and the rays of sun made them appear more lush and verdant ..

Su Wan grinned and hurriedly walked out of the room, Lin Yan and Lin Yu had already left for the town and Lin Chen was at their fields - only Lin Rui and Lin Jing were at home , where as Mother Lin was sitting in the courtyard knitting a sweater for Lin Jing .

According to Mother Lin she always knitted sweaters for her sons and husband , when father Lin was still alive . After that , they didn't have much money to buy wool and Mother Lin had to give up on this hobby of hers but Lin Yan who had made a little fortune at the docks , brought back some colourful yarn for Mother Lin to pick up her hobby again.

" Wan Wan , did something good happen ? You look really happy " Lin Rui was the first one to notice her movements at the entrance of the courtyard . He hastily placed his book down then turned to look at Su Wan , seeing her dirty hands - he immediately understood where she was just now , he picked up the cloth that they use to wipe the dining table and then hurried forward to give it to Su Wan so that she could clean her mud covered hands .

Su Wan took the cloth from Lin Rui 's hand and smiled a bit apologetically . Her husbands really did pamper her a lot , and here she was complaining about them being a little on the passionate side .

Su Wan hastily wiped her hands then said " Its nothing the vegetables in the room are ready to be harvested . I was thinking that I will go with Jing ge to sell these vegetables today but you shouldn't disrupt your studies . Go back and start reading , I don't want to trouble you after all .

" Wan Wan , I have already finished reading and I can help you a little , its fine if I study a little less today . Why don't I help you ? Its won't? be much trouble for me "

" Of course not ! " Su Wan immediately refused Lin Rui 's help and said with a pointed glare " studying is more important than harvesting vegetables, won't you be missing on your valuable time if you help around in the fields instead of studying . Ah Rui , let me tell you , you are already late by a month in getting admission in the academy if you start helping around then you will be wasting your time when you can catch up on your studies . Don't think I'm saying too much but the vegetables are already ready to be sold and we only need to harvest it . And we also have the income from our restaurant at the docks - so you can take it easy from now on . If you work yourself too hard , you might end up exhausting yourself ! And when that happens who is going to let out family get an official title ? Our family's expectations are lying on you Ah Rui , so you only need to work hard in your studies and don't worry about anything else "

Lin Rui thought about the vibrant vegetables that were already flourishing in the spring room and the distress of not being able to help out vanished from his heart a little . Su Wan was right , working in the fields and studying together to become the top scholar wasn't easy and it wasn't that Lin Rui didn't try he did - it was just that after only a few days of hard work he got exhausted and fell sick which gave Grandma Lin an excuse to stop Lin Rui from continuing on her studies . She made a scene and said that since Lin Rui can't help around the fields there was no need for him to study - as Lin Che was already studying hard to become a scholar - there was no need to act stubborn and waste both money and manual labour .

Lin Rui was a young man with a faint scholarly aura thus he wasn't as strong as his brothers who were used to working in fields and doing harsh labour . Their father had pampered Lin Rui into giving becoming a weak scholar thus Lin Rui wasn't good at anything but studying ,and? Su Wan knew this - the last time Lin Rui had worked in the fields , pustules popped in his hands and he had a hard time picking up hid calligraphy brush for days !
