Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 211 - You Are Still His Mother

Old Grandma Lin heaved a breath, after listening to Lin Ze she could finally relax. Her son was right, so what if Lin Heng somehow dragged himself away from the gates of hell? He had no evidence to prove that her son was the one who was responsible for what happened to him!

But then she remembered the matter of their house having no rice to eat and all of her relief drained out of her again "it's true that they can't prove that it was you who did it but - but they can cut off their relation with our family right? Now our family has no rice to eat and the price of the grains have multiplied as well, what will we do? If those brats don't give us extra grains that how will we be able to survive this disaster ?"

Lin Ze did not go to the town but he had heard about the matter of refugees coming to the Dong Tong town to seek help from their relatives. He wasn't surprised that the price was double but he was still a little shocked at the incredible speed, at which the price of grains doubled. The news of refugees arriving in the town was leaked just a couple of days ago and the price of grains multiplied so soon? The shopkeepers were insidious! They were pushing poor villagers like them to death!

" Then - then why don't we try to borrow some rice grains from some other family ? " said Lin Ze frowning so tightly that his brows were furrowed tight enough to squeeze a fly to death " they will surely help us right? We are fellow villagers after all "

Grandma Lin immediately shook her head " there is no point, by now everyone in the village should already know that the price of the rice has doubled. Who do you think will willingly give up their life-saving grains to us? It would be good enough if they don't come to our threshold and ask us to return the money we owe them "

The more old grandma Lin thought the more distressed she became, because they still haven't returned the sum of money that they borrowed from the villagers, there was no chance to borrow anything from anyone anymore. If she knew this would happen then she would have tussled with that b!tch Zhao Lan until her last breath! So what if Lin Chen came, it was good that he arrived at that time - if that brat dared to beat her, she would have at least had a proper reason to find trouble with him! But now with Lin Heng's return, she couldn't bring herself to trouble those brats! After all her precious Lin Che was still studying in the academy, even if Lin Heng didn't have a shred of evidence he could still ruin Lin Ze's reputation! If Lin Ze's reputation suffered then Lin Che's reputation will surely suffer as well! She can not afford to make trouble with Lin Heng right now if that dratted bastard let the matter of Lin Ze pushing him in the sea slip, then she wouldn't be able to save either her son or grandson.

Seeing his mother's darkened face, Lin Ze busily inquired? "then what do you want to do mother? If you are not asking for grains from the fellow villagers do you want to ask the grains from those bastards? "

Grandma Lin thought about the empty cylinders in her kitchen then remembered what Lin Yunxi had told her and she gritted her teeth " you don't know, Yunxi went to town today and she told me that she saw those brats selling green vegetables! Green vegetables in such cold weather, such a method is like taking a shortcut to the road of getting prosperous! Yunxi said to me that they actually earned twenty to twenty tales of silver! Twenty taels! With this sum alone we will be able to live comfortably for a long time! And there is also the matter of them selling green vegetables, do you not want to find out about their trick? If we find out that trick we will be rich! "

Lin Ze licked his lips and thought about his mother's suggestion, his mother was right. Selling green vegetables in winter was something really rare and unique, and the more rare a thing was the more expensive it became in the current situations it wouldn't be surprising if his nephews earned a lot of money.

A shrewd glint flickered in Lin Ze's eyes as he parted his lips and finally spoke up after much contemplation "? mother so what if I hurt elder brother? It's not like you know about it right? You are still his mother and you still have the right to enjoy filial respect from him. Whatever happened ten years ago was nothing more than grudges between two brothers, as our mother you are completely innocent. "

Grandma Lin didn't understand what her son was saying at first but later on, she cottoned on. That's right, as long as she acts completely ignorant about what happened ten years ago - Lin Heng still have to listen to her! What murder? What killing? This old woman had no idea about it!

The mother and son pair came to an understanding just like that.

On the other hand, Su Wan and the others reached their house without having the slightest bit of idea about what treacherous schemes were being brewed behind their backs. Because they had a lot of luggage and a sick kid, Lin Jing asked Le Heng to drive it to their home, since no one other than their family was occupying Le Heng's carriage it was much more convenient and wasn't much trouble for Le Heng. Thus, the latter didn't complain in the slightest and drove to their house.

The majority of the villagers had come to see Lin Heng, though they all were dressed in plain cotton clothing they all were still better looking compared to Father Lin who was dressed in tattered rags. When Father Lin refused Lin Yan to buy those expensive readymade clothes he didn't think about it much but now as he saw his old acquaintances waving hands and greeting him with a smile dressed in clean clothing, he was a bit embarrassed.

Not because he was suffering from ' vain pride ' but because he thought he was bringing embarrassment to his sons and daughter in law.

Father Lin was embarrassed but Qi Mei and Qi Zhi were completely engrossed in looking around the neat and clean village. Watching the honest villagers waving their hands and rushing to greet them with a smile relaxed their wandering minds, their tensed nerves relaxed - the scene in front of them comforted them. This was the first time in the two months that they could finally enjoy a cart ride without worrying about being robbed or snubbed.. As they greeted back the villagers they didn't have to worry about being berated, driven out or scolded- from the past few months they were acting like little beggars. For months they had to rein in their temper and think twice before even smiling, finally, their sufferings came to end !
