Shrewd wife of Lin brothers

Chapter 283 - Have To Go Even If They Don’t Want To


This time no one dared to refute Luo Chenxi because the latter indeed suggested the most idealistic way to handle the situation. They couldn't leave the problem of wolves descending down the forest unattended because if they didn't deal with the wolves then the pack will descend from the mountain and create a bloodthirsty ruckus in the village.

When that happens no matter humans or chickens both will be hunted down by the wolves, so it was impossible for the villagers to just leave this problem just as it is. 

Though Su Wan and the Lin brothers didn't want to agree, they couldn't do so. Lin Jing was indeed the only hunter in the Dong Tong Village if he doesn't help the villagers at such a time then the villagers might make things difficult for them in the future. They still didn't have money to move to the town or capital, with their current income they can easily afford a comfortable life but they couldn't buy a house in the town where prices were sky high at the moment. 

Not to forget there was also their field, though they harvested the rice before the snowfall, the brothers couldn't find a decent buyer in such a hurry, meaning they will suffer through a loss.

However, after suffering this injustice, the entire Lin family's determination to move out of the Dong Tong village became even more strong. Why should they stay in this village where these villagers only knew how to take advantage of their kindness? Move! They will move!

Su Wan pursed her lips and inwardly decided to save even more money in the future the sooner her savings crosses three hundred taels the sooner she will be able to move out of this place, though she wanted to enjoy a decent and peaceful life, she was really picky about her neighbours with such ' if I fall down, I will drag you down too' kind of villagers, she has no patience. So, she might as well move away and look for a new place to settle down, it's not like this village is the only one with a peaceful atmosphere!

"Fine," said Lin Jing, he knew that this was the best possible outcome. Not only the villagers everyone was like this, no one wanted to endanger their lives. At least this time he would at least have a few villagers as a company, in the past, he laid the traps all alone " mother, Wan Wan, go in. I will go with the Village head and choose some villagers as my partners, after that I will go straight to the mountains and lay down pit traps. I might not be back tonight because I also need to organise night duty in case the wolves really descended"

After hearing Lin Jing's explanation Su Wan was both nervous and afraid. The two of them were still in a cold war, Lin Jing was yet to make up with her but now he has to live for such a dangerous task. She was anxious and couldn't help but blurt out " stay safe" after saying this her entire face flushed red, she didn't know what to do with her hands either as she raised them halfway up to hug Lin Jing. She was still angry but she wasn't an unreasonable woman, her husband was going to hunt a pack of wolves with forty to twenty wolves, she couldn't just send him away while staying mute can she? 

These were the first words that Su Wan spoke to Lin Jing after their fight, Lin Jing was stunned but at the same time, he was really happy. His wife still cares about him! This time even if a wolf lunges at his throat, he will fight to his death to return safe and sound to Su Wan. He happily raised his hand and patted Su Wan's head " I will, how can I not be safe when I haven't made up with you ?"

After saying these words, Lin Jing bid his brothers and parents goodbye then turned to leave with Village head Luo. 

The Lin family stared after his vanishing back and every single one of them was feeling uncomfortable. The last time Lin Jing faced a pack of wolves he nearly lost an eye, it was through sheer luck that Lin Jing was able to get away with his life. If not for his mentor and good friend of Father Lin, Lin Jing would have lost his life then and there. So, it wasn't surprising that the Lin family was feeling uncomfortable. 

Not only them but Su Wan too felt as if she shouldn't let  Lin Jing go to the south mountain today, she didn't know why but her heart was really unsettled after realising that Lin Jing was leaving for the mountains to hunt the wolves. However, she couldn't selfishly stop him, if she did the entire village will become their family's enemy and look for trouble with them every now and then. 

She looked in the direction where Lin Jing went and didn't move for a long while, she was reluctant to let him but couldn't stop him at all. If possible she would have gone with him but she knew no one in her family would agree to let her go with Lin Jing even Lin Jing himself wouldn't have brought her with him. 

"Let's go, eldest brother is going to work hard but we also need to be prepared," said Lin Yan, though his voice was firm no one missed the slight tremor in his voice and his trembling fists " we need to prepare some hunting forks and hunting arrows and bows as well, Ah Chen you stay at home with mother and Wan Wan. Ah Yu you too stay behind, Ah Rui, father come with me to the town we need need to buy these things before evening and return before the sun sets"

" En, Ah Yan is right. Lan'er, Wan Wan go inside " said Father Lin agreeing with Lin Yan as he turned to look at his wife and patted her shoulder, he knew his wife was worried about their son but they couldn't do anything. Right now,  it was a situation of their family against the village. If they refuse to let Lin Jing help the villagers in time of need, they might become the villagers enemy number one, so even with a heavy heart they have to let Lin Jing go" don't worry, Lin Jing knows his stuff. He - our son is strong and fierce he will be fine, okay. You two don't need to worry about him"

" don't worry about the brother, he is a really strong mother, Wan Wan...he even hunted a tiger once remember? He will surely be fine and this time he isn't alone " Lin Rui too tried to calm his mother and Su Wan down as he ushered them inside and helped them on the Kang in the closes room to the front door. 

Though mother Lin and Su Wan were not at all convinced they still didn't make things difficult for their sons / husbands in such difficult times. They let Lin Rui settle them in Lin Yan's room and said nothing. 

Lin Yan and Lin Rui wanted to say more and stay by their wife and mother's side but they have to return before dawn, so they could leave after giving some more instructions to Lin Chen and Lin Yu.

The two of them left the house completely ignorant of the fact that a pair of eyes were locked on their backs like a vicious serpent.
