Shrewd wife of Lin brothers

Chapter 214 - [Bonus ] I’m Back , Lan’er



" Mother!"

" Mother - Don't "

" Mother, stop !"

" Mother !"

The four brothers were startled by their mother's actions, they knew that their mother's reaction would be something overly extreme but they never thought that their mother would beat up their father! Just look at that - the sight of their father crouching with his hands covering his head and their mother hitting him like a loose cannonball was really -too miserable! 

Though they loved their mother, they couldn't help but condemn their father for showing ' no guts ' in front of their mother. 

Sigh ~ though their father showed no manliness, they can't just stand back and watch their father getting beaten right? His crouching figure was really a pitiful sight! 

" hey! What are you doing? get back here !" But before they could stop their parent's tussle, a bold and firm voice stopped them. 

The four of them stopped at once, though their mother beating their father was an embarrassing sight. However, they had an inkling that if they refused to obey their wife's order, there was a chance for another embarrassing incident happening. 

" Wan Wan, our mother she -"

" Father is innocent "

" He suffered too right ?"

" We need to stop them -"

" Stop ? Why ?" Su Wan listened to her husband but she didn't change her stance, she simply cuddled Qi Zhi closer to her body and snorted " you are right father in law is innocent, but is mother in law not innocent? She waited ten years for him - she was the one who went through all the struggles to raise you all, when she lost father in law, she was still a woman in her prime years she should have enjoyed the love and care of her husband but instead she was burdened by the responsibilities to take care of her children all alone. Don't you think she should be given some sort of leeway to release her pent up frustration and anger? It's not like Mother in law doesn't know what she is doing .. and with her strength, I don't think it will hurt much " then she tilted her head and nodded at the stone figure who was standing next to her " if you want to be worried about someone then you should be worried about this one right here before he loses his mind as well "

Only then did the four brothers turn to look at the little fuse bomb that seemed close to exploding and hurriedly ran to tell him about what exactly happened to their father. Wan wan was right, with mother's frail figure her punches and slaps won't even tickle father but if Lin Chen took a  shot at their father then their father might be knocked out cold till tomorrow morning. 

Su Wan looked at the brothers circling Lin Chen and snorted, her husbands really acted as a scatterbrain sometimes. 

After listening to his brothers story , Lin Chen's expression finally eased and his tightened muscles finally relaxed - the fury in his eyes went down but he didn't speak. He simply looked at his father who was getting beaten by their mother and said nothing - he knew that his father suffered just as much as they did but for some reason, his chest felt stuffy. He was really glad that his father was alive and well but just like his mother, he had no idea about how he should react towards his father. 

Should he run and hug him? Or should he beat him too for leaving them alone? But then he looked at his mother who looked like an angry cat who was scratching his owner because he didn't give her food on time and threw the option at the back of his head- whatever his father was already getting beaten, this much should be enough to quench his anger as well. 

Mother Lin on the other hand didn't know what was going on behind her back instead - she had just given Father Lin, one last slap before stopping. 

She was standing in front of him with her chest heaving up and down as she glared at her husband who was crouching like a coward in front of her. No one dared to say anything forget about the Qi siblings even Su Wan and the others didn't dare to utter a peep - the entire surrounding turned silent while everyone waited with bated breath. 

Their eyes were locked on Mother Lin who was glaring at Father Lin. 

Father Lin sensed the sudden silence and immediately looked up - it wasn't that he couldn't subdue his wife but he didn't do it. His wife suffered because of him and it was only right for her to take her anger on him, so there was nothing wrong with her beating him. He was in the wrong, so he naturally should take whatever his wife threw at him without complaining. 

However, when he looked up he was surprised to see his wife's tear stricken face, she was still glaring at him but the impact of her glare was greatly diminished because of her tears that were trickling  down her cheeks . 

" Lan 'er " called Father Lin softly, the sight of his wife's tears was squeezing his heart. He never wanted His Lan'er to cry for him but here he was making her shed tears of longing and anger for him - he was really such a good for nothing husband " I'm sorry "

" Is that all you know ? Is that what you should be saying ?" asked Mother Lin, though she couldn't stop her tears from falling, her voice was still firm and her expression was still strict as she glared down at her husband. 

Father Lin was a little surprised but then he remembered something and a helpless smile etched on his face, before he opened his arms wide  and looked at Mother Lin with the same loving and doting way with which he used to when they were first married, then smiling softly he whispered " I'm back, Lan'er "

Only then did Mother Lin smile before jumping in his arms like a canary who finally found her haven. Before letting loose her tears that washed away all the anger, broken promises and pain. 

It was finally a new beginning.
