Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 8 - Fishing ( Part 2)

Though the seventy copper coins sounded a lot it wasn\'t enough to buy both rice and meat . The original Su Wan wanted to eat a full bowl of meat and polished rice, just like her family did thus she started saving hoping that one day she too will have a full bowl of white polished rice and tasty meat . ? ?

But Alas , the young Su Wan died at the age of sixteen without even tasting a single piece of meat much less a full bowl .

This was the reason why she took everything that belonged to Su Wan \'s mother from the Su family , she was neither greedy nor did she coveted Su Wan \'s dowry . She was a woman with both skills and intelligence , even if she was left with nothing , she could still stand up on her two feet .

But because she pitied the original owner\'s fate , she wanted Su Wan family to suffer just like her . Didn\'t the Su family leeched on Su Wan \'s mother shops and still didn\'t gave her a bowl of rice? Then she wanted them to suffer in the same way !

The original Su Wan worked till her bones ached , she was even responsible for cooking Su family\'s dinner , while the original Su Wan cooked delicious meals for Su family , Chu Yanyu sat at the kitchen door keeping an eye that Su Wan didn\'t eat anything \' sneakily \' and once the food was cooked , Chu Yanyu would sweep everything away not leaving even a single grain for Su Wan to eat .

Just imagining it made her heary ache for the little girl , to have her cook meat and glossy rice while starving her , This Su family was really inhumane!

She knew that the reason Su family agreed to let her have Su Wan \'s mother\'s dowry was because they had huge hope from their only son but that precious son of theirs , hehe -

" Wife , what are you thinking?" said Lin Chen suddenly bringing a stop to her thought .

" Nothing , I - I just want to burn some joss money for my mother , you know she died before she could see me get married " said Su Wan , in actuality she wanted to burn some joss money for the original owner and leave a bowl of white rice and meat for her departed soul . This was the least she could do for the original Su Wan .

Lin Chen nodded he too missed his father today , as he dressed in the vermilion robes to bring his wife back , he remembered his father\'s teasing .

\' Ah Chen , Daddy will marry you to princess \'

Every time his father said this , Lin Chen blushed furiously but at the same time he looked forward to the little princess he will marry but - but what ? He frowned and looked at his wife .

Big watery eyes , pouty cherry tomato red lips , willow like waist and ahem , that butt size was good as well , she will definitely give birth to a lot of children .

When his mind drifted to children , Lin Chen felt his face burn and he hurriedly coughed , can\'t let wife think of me as a hooligan , it was still broad day light !

" Sure , I will bring you some in a few days " said Lin Chen nodding his head " I will have my brothers burn some for our father as well "

" En "

Soon , Su Wan and Lin Chen reached the clean river , compared to the modern world , the river here was clean and the water was clear.. Su Wan was even able to see the abundant amount of fish that was swimming in it .

She glanced at the bustling river and swallowed , with this many fishes , they will easily catch a total of ten , today she will prepare fish Salisbury Steak !

" Here , I will show you how to catch fishes then you are on your own " said Su Wan as she picked three wriggling earth worms that she had Lin Yu dig out while she pierced the woven basket and hooked them up as bait. With a beautiful arc , she dropped the hook in the middle of the river.

" Now what ?" asked Lin Chen seeing that nothing was happening

" Now we wait " catching fishes was a matter of huge patience stamina , but maybe the river was really filled with fishes to brim because within two minutes , Su Wan felt a tug in the string and quickly reeled ( pulled ) her rod back .

In place of the three earth worms , a fish as big as the size of a half a person\'s arm was struggling furiously .

Lin Chen who saw the whole process was dumbfounded , damn this method was so sleek just like magic . Usually the villagers uses baits or their hands to catch the fishes and since both the methods were unreliable many times the fishes slipped past their hands . But if the fish was hooked like this how will it slip ?

" Do you understand? Can you catch fishes now?" asked Su Wan as she handed the fishing rod to Lin Chen who nodded his head like a chicken .

" Don\'t worry wife , I will definitely catch a dozen!" exclaimed Lin Chen excitedly

Seeing his enthusiasm Su Wan didn\'t had the heart to tell him that seven or eight fishes was alright and as then she took a look at his thin frame she controlled her tongue even more . Whatever , it was just preparing some more fish patties , she wasn\'t going to lose her meat .

" Alright , I will be right there " said Su Wan " Don\'t worry , I will only go there " pointing at the boulder in the middle of the river she spoke when she saw that Lin Chen wanted to stop her again .

" But why ?"

" These fishes are our lunch " explained Su Wan dropping some crumble chicken feed in the woven basket , since the holes in it was only a needle thick she wasn\'t afraid about the feed flowing out " and what I\'m catching will be our breakfast , we need to pad our stomach with something before settling down in the new house "

Lin Chen wanted to stop her but Su Wan already started to walk away with a swing of her waist , she placed the woven basket in the opposite direction to the stream and sat down waiting .

And when the bucket moved she hurriedly removed it from the water and let out a gasp in surprise .

\' Aiya , who would have thought that the ancient lands and rivers was so flourishing ?\'

Inside her bucket was a bunch of shrimps !

with these little babies she can have shrimp porridge ! just imagining it made her drool , it wasn\'t that she never ate a delicacy but now that she was a pauper , even shrimp porridge was something that she would willing swallow down without any complain !
