Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 174 - [Bonus ]Uncle Wu Broke Lin Ze ‘s Legs

Lin Jing casted him a sideway glance and rolled his eyes discretely , then slapping Le Sheng 's arm off his shoulder he asked " where is Uncle Wu ? Why isn't he here ?"

Le Sheng rolled his eyes back at Lin Jing before nursing the sting in his arm" you don't know ? He had a fight with your uncle and is now resting at home because your uncle broke his leg "

When Le Sheng said this everyone in the Lin family was shocked especially Su Wan , didn't Uncle Wu curry favoured with Lin Ze the last time they went to the town , so what happened this time ? How come Lin Ze and Uncle Wu ended up in a fight ?

Because the cart was fairly empty , Le Sheng had a bit of a free time , so he told them about the ruckus that Lin Ze caused a few days ago . Turns out that Lin Ze had actually borrowed money from loan sharks , the people working in usury were ruthless they either took their money with interest or either they took the life of the person they had lend money to .

At first Lin Ze wanted his nephews to work hard and pay back his debt but then Su Wan married over and separated their family before Lin Ze could ask for money . Later on Lin Ze , didn't want to bow his head in front of Su Wan who was in charge of the money in the Lin family - the fact that he knew that Su Wan was actually in charge of the money could only mean that Lin Ze actually went to Lin Yan to ask for money but Lin Yan refused him with the excuse that it was Su Wan 's restaurant that she brought with her? in her dowry and he was only responsible to look after the restaurant and nothing else , since Su Wan couldn't leave the house every day .

It wasn't that Lin Ze didn't try to rob Lin Yan off but Manager Wang together with Little Shi and Little Cao , clearly told Lin Ze that if he dared to snatch even a single tael from their restaurant not only will they turn him to the Yamen runner , they will also tell their mistress Su Wan that he actually dared to steal from their shop .

Lin Ze didn't fear Lin Yan or his brothers but he was indeed afraid of Su Wan , who was like a shrew whenever they met . And they also threatened him with Yamen runners , so Lin Ze could only return back home after severely scolding Lin Yan for being a hen pecked husband .

Lin Ze couldn't get the money from Lin Yan and he didn't dare cause trouble in front of? Su Wan who would start flailing her cleaver at every possible turn and at everyone .. So , Lin Ze could only turn to those villagers who believed that Lin Che would become an official in the future , these villagers were backing on the hope that one day they will be able to ride on the coattail's of Lin Che that's why everyone gritted their teeth and let Lin Ze borrow a few silver from them .

One of these villagers was Uncle Wu , Lin Ze was his friend and Uncle Wu was a person who liked to curry favour the strong while bullying the weak , so he hurriedly took out a sum of six taels and let Lin Ze borrow it . He didn't even stop to think that how Lin Ze with his lazy mother and wife , an arrogant daughter and a good for nothing son would be able to pay back his money .

His mind was completely set on becoming close pals with Lin Che in the future and living a comfortable life . But when it pours it rains -Uncle Wu 's wife who was at her maternal house returned a month? after he gave away his entire family's annual savings and she got so upset with her husband that she ended up having a fever . And Le Sheng who was married to Wu Muan lost his job in the town after the dock leader appointed his brother in law as the team leader instead of him . Le Sheng wasn't an educated youth and didn't know anything else except loading and unloading the luggage - however , the dock leader's brother in law who was newly appointed in his position was afraid that Le Sheng would find trouble with him because he robbed off his position so before Le Sheng could trouble him , The dock leader 's brother in law came to find trouble with Le Sheng , he threatened and scared the other dock workers with their jobs so that they all ended ostracised Le Sheng .

At first they only did it because they were threatened but later on they started enjoying teasing and bullying Le Sheng who had no other option but to be their punching bag .? Le Sheng became their stress reliever pole .

Le Sheng was a man with pride even though he couldn't do anything else , he wouldn't let people walk all over him . He was the strength and the most hard working dock worker at the dock , because he had a wife and a daughter , he simply put it up with their bullying first and didn't utter an ' uff ' , and he also completed all his work . Everyone including the dock leader thought that Le Sheng was easily bullied so they didn't care about it .

Le Sheng suffered and suffered but then one day the dock leader's brother in law actually came to him and asked to serve a rich master because he wanted to make that rich master their permanent customer .

The rich master preference was men over women and Le Sheng with his fair complexion and slightly thinner figure looked really fine , thus when the rich master's eyes fell on him , he casually asked the dock leader's brother in law to bring Le Sheng to him .

The dock leader's brother in law didn't think that there was anything wrong after all it wasn't as if Le Sheng would lose his virtue mark or something so he ordered Le Sheng to serve the young master .

Apoplectic with rage at being taken as a low class hooker , Le Sheng went to the dock leader and resigned from his work then onwards . The dock leader who too believed that they weren't asking much from Le Sheng threatened him that he won't get work in town anywhere . And because Le Sheng was adamant to leave he really didn't get a job in the town .

In the end Wu Muan suggested that they should take their daughter to the village where her family lived and buy some lands to farm as they were originally farmers . Thus , Le Sheng and Wu Muan returned to the village with their daughter on the same day , when Mother Wu fell sick .

Uncle Wu felt that sky was falling on his head , his wife got sick and his son in law lost his job . In the end Wu Muan suggested that he should go and ask for money from Lin Ze since it has already? been a month and Lin Ze would have already paid back his usury and saved a little money .

Uncle Wu had no other choice he went to ask money from Lin Ze but when he reached the Lin house , forget about the money he didn't even see Lin Ze 's shadow . In fact he met with Grandma Lin who cursed and scolded him for lying , and she also accused? that he was actually a fraud asking for money .

Grandma Lin was used to bullying others and if this was any other day Uncle Wu had suffered silently , but his wife was sick and needed money for her treatment . Uncle Wu might have a lot of flaws but he loved his wife very much , thus faced with the predicament of losing his wife , Uncle Wu clearly told Grandma Lin that she either pay his money back or he will do what the usury threatened to do to Lin Ze .

Grandma Lin thought that Uncle Wu was only joking and spat on his face but the second she did Uncle Wu rushed inside her house and broke every single bit of furniture and crockery . He even barged inside the shed where Lin Ze was hiding eating noodles , and broke both his legs before dumping the piping hot noodles right on Lin Ze face .

Seeing that her son was beaten so badly Grandma Lin who was shocked at Uncle Wu 's unusual change rushed inside with a broom and fought with Uncle Wu but Uncle Wu wasn't a pushover either and he didn't have any qualms regarding hitting unreasonable women either so he gave Grandma Lin a tight slap .

The matter of course reached to the village head later on but since the Lin family in the wrong , Village head Luo only deducted two taels off their debts because of their family's injuries and damages , other than that he clearly told the Lin family to pay Uncle Wu the money they owned .

Grandma Lin tried to make a ruckus but nothing happened in the end the two family fought with each other again and received more injuries - which was why Uncle Wu was lying in his house not able to cart his ox cart around .

Thankfully , Wu Muan and Le Sheng had some savings and were able to save Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu 's? lives though they too hit their limit and couldn't buy their own land . Now Wu Muan was working in her parents fields while Le Sheng was driving his father in law's ox cart to make an extra income .
