Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 542 Get out!

" Zhang Xiaohui, get out of your hiding hole right now!"

Su Wan was happily snuggling with Lin Yan when she was woken up by a loud and unpleasant voice that sounded like hundreds of crows were cawing at once, she blinked her eyes and slowly sat up straight, as she looked around the room with an unhappy face. What was that? Who was screaming like a dying dog, so early in the morning?

" Zhang Xiaohui! Why are you hiding like a dead rat in the house? Get out here!"

Lin Yan who was sleeping beside Su Wan could no longer ignore the loud and annoying sound that was coming from the front door and woke up with a frown. He had many plans regarding what he was going to do after consummating his wedding night with Su Wan but whatever he had in mind this wasn't it, he slowly blinked away the sleepiness of his eyes and then sat up straight as he glanced at Su Wan before he picked up his clothes and sternly spoke to her, " Don't come out yet, I will go and take a look first. You stay here."

Just last night, Lin Yunxi and Lin Che came here to bring Zhang Xiaohui back to their house—— Even though they had no idea what An Xia did to the Lin family, after seeing their desperate attempts to bring Zhang Xiaohui back to their family, Lin Yan could more or less understand the situation of the old Lin family. Most probably they were robbed by An Xia before she ran away from the village, with no baking and no money a woman, Especially a widow would never try to run away. An Xia must have taken whatever she could from the Lin family and perhaps that was why the old Lin family was bent on bringing Zhang Xiaohui back since she still had fifteen taels in her hands.

Lin Yan knew his grandmother and knew what a petty miser and a greedy woman she was—— that old woman would definitely not sit still until she got her hands on the money that she had to fork out to pay Zhang Xiaohui for her dowry.

Though what Old grandma Lin had in her mind was completely wrong, in the end, she was now as broke as the village beggar. She wouldn't let go of the matter that easily.

Su Wan rolled her eyes and picked her clothes up as well before she started dressing up. She wasn't made of glass and she could definitely take on that old woman no matter what condition she was in——

When Grandma Lin saw Zhang Xiaohui who opened the door, she arrogantly huffed, " Zhang Xiaohui you really have grown a pair of wings, haven't you? How can you be so slow? Do you have any idea how long I —— your mother in law has been waiting for you?"

In Old Grandma Lin's eyes, Zhang Xiaohui was an abandoned woman and her son was the only man who would be willing to take her in as his wife again. There was no way, Zhang Xiaohui would be able to get another man at such an old age and she also had given birth to two kids. Zhang Xiaohui was what people would call a second-hand good, she was used and thrown—— if she was smart enough, she wouldn't try to fight her anymore.

Back then when Zhang Xiaohui was unmarried, even then no one was willing to marry her. She was too fat and her features were average, if not for her father taking out twenty taels as her dowry, even Old madam Lin wouldn't have agreed to Zhang Xiaohui marrying her son with her fatty looks.

After all her son might have a lot of flaws but he was good looking at least, if not for marrying Zhang Xiaohui because of the dowry given by her father, her son would have married a beautiful girl from their village back then they had a lot more option than Zhang Xiaohui can ever get in her life.

Therefore it was simply Zhang Xioahui's blessing that her son married her and was even willing to take her back even after she threw a tantrum like that…. The reason Old madam Lin was so confident now was very simple —— she was still linking the present Zhang Xiaohui with the past where her father would fork everything out that she and her son wanted… when Zhang Xiaohui was engaged to Lin Ze, Old madam Lin had gone around running her mouth as she asked for this and that, she even said that if the Zhang family didn't get her what she wanted then she wouldn't let her son get married to Zhang Xiaohui who was as fat as a rolling barrel.

At that time the Zhang family was incensed when old madam Lin asked for them to increase the dowry, but Zhang Xiaohui and Lin Ze were already engaged and they couldn't break the engagement because they were worried about Zhang Xiaohui's reputation.

So, even if they couldn't manage to get everything that old madam Lin asked for, the Zhang family tried their best because they didn't want Zhang Xiaohui to suffer because of a few silver taels but Old madam Lin took it as a sign of surrender. She started to believe that no matter what happens Zhang Xiaohui will never get a man better than her son. Therefore she was used to acting superior to Zhang Xiaohui and the same was the case now, though Old madam Lin knew that her son and she were in the wrong, she carefully thought about it.

As long as she was thick-skinned enough to suppress Zhang Xiaohui like she once used to then she would be able to get her hands on the money that was in Zhang Xiaohui's hands.

In the past, Zhang Xiaohui had never bothered to fight with her mother in law because she too thought that she was fortunate enough to marry someone like Lin Ze who was slim and looked good but after suffering so much under their hands and the incident from the last night, Zhang Xiaohui has washed away all the guilt and worry with her tears. No mother would like it if one day she woke up and realised that she was only worth a few silver taels to her children, last night Zhang Xiaohui has cried and cried a lot and Lin Zhi had been patient with her as she told her to let go….and Zhang Xiaohui had let go of everything else.

Now that she was free of the guilt she was feeling, she didn't want to be polite to Old grandma Lin!
