Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 194 - Cheated ?

As they got closer to the shed , Lin Yan \'s hands started to tremble and even Lin Yu was startled .

" Here , Xiao Shuyan drink some porridge? . The porridge here in Dong Tong town is really tasty and thick ! Its not watery at all , there is also a lot of rice and I even fought for a piece of tofu for you , come on eat it "? Father Lin raised the small boy who was lying inside the shed on a straw mattress? with a gentle smile , as he blew on the porridge and brought the spoon to the boy\'s mouth .

The boy coughed violently as he was moved , his little body was so thin that he hardly resembled? a human anymore. His face was completely shrivelled up like a mummy and his ribs were poking out of the torn shirts , he barely had any fat and looked really haggard . His breathing was laboured and it was clear that he was having a hard time . The refugees were all afraid that the child was affected by something unmentionable seeing his scary appearance and didn\'t dare to come any closer.

Even though they were salivating over the piece of tofu it was better not to risk it .

After coughing for a while , the boy shook his head and then in a low and hoarse? manner he pushed away the spoon " leave it for my siblings and you should eat too , you have been worrying about us siblings and hardly ate anything "

Father Lin \'s heart ache as he saw Xiao Shuyan acting like a little adult and softly coaxed the child " Father doesn\'t need to eat , father is a grown up man . I can go on without eating for days but Shuyan you are a kid , you need to eat your fill ,only after eating this porridge will you have enough energy to go on with this journey . We are almost there , an hour of another walking trip and we will reach Dong Tong village "

The boy licked his lips that were cracked so badly that they were bleeding . He too wanted to eat the porridge but he felt his body weaken with each passing minute , if he ate this porridge and tofu it would just be a waste " father , you don\'t need to trouble with me anymore. I - I can feel that I can no longer on , just leave me here and bring my siblings to the village , I - as the eldest son its my responsibility to take care of my siblings instead of being a burden to them -"

" what nonsense ! You are just a child who caught a cold , why do you have to overthink it like that ? Its so severe because you couldn\'t recover because of the road conditions . As long as we return to the Dong Tong village , I will borrow some money from my fellow villagers and will bring you to the medicine hall of the town - I\'m sure the doctors here will be able to treat you "though tears were brimming in his eyes father Lin fiercely scolded Xiao Shuyan. " even if you don\'t want to think about yourself think about your siblings , haven\'t they already lost the people closest to them ? If the lose you to what will happen to the two of them ? Won\'t the be broken-hearted if they lose their big brother Shuyan ?"

When father Lin mentioned his little siblings , Xiao Shuyan felt as if his heart was being pierced. Immediately , the images of his cute siblings and their smiles flashed in front of his eyes . Father was right , his siblings have already lost the people they were close to because of this disaster if he went on as well - Xiao Shuyan didn\'t dare to think anymore and decisively said " alright I will eat , I have already preserved this long . I\'m sure I can preserve a little more *cough * "

" Don\'t talk anymore and eat " said Father Lin as he wiped the yellow cough that was trickling down the child\'s mouth and fed him another spoon of rice .

Lin Yan and Lin Yu who were watching the scene had a really difficult mood . Though they sympathised with the child , but when they heard the child call their father , his father - their eyes flashed with scorn and their faces turned dark . What was this ? You were alive but instead of coming back home you went frolicking with your new lover , had kids and now that you are faced with adversities you bring your kids back to your first wife? Was their father out of his mind ? You cheated on your wife and kids ? Now you bring your kids from other woman in front of your wife ? Are you okay in the head ?

Just as Lin Yan and Lin Yu were contemplating over this , two kids came running . Just like father Lin they were also holding a bowl of porridge each . When the girl who was around eight saw that her brother was eating his porridge , she smiled " brother , the people here are nice though the porridge is not as thick as we used to eat , its not watery, with no rice ! They are even giving a single tofu piece to each person! "

" Yeah , yeah ! " chimed the youngest boy " even though we are kids they filled my bowl to brim , elder brother lets share !"

Xiao Shuyan looked at his little siblings who were not even ten yet and felt his heart shudder with pain . He really wanted to talk to them and say that it was fine but then his throat suddenly clogged and he started choking on the food - he gagged and vomited everything that he ate before his complexion worsened and he fainted .

" Xiao Shuyan !" Hollered Father Lin and the two little children but before they could think of what to do , a tall figure rushed in and carried Xiao Shuyan away .

Father Lin was stunned but when he looked up , his eyes fell on a chilly face that resembled his wife so much " Y..Yu ?"

Lin Yu scoffed , he wanted to? say something like \' you still remembered me ? I thought you completely forgot about your previous family\' but seeing the scared and stiff expressions of the children next to his father . He controlled his temper , whatever - this was his father\'s fault not these children there was no need for him to act fiercely in front of these kids " second brother brought the boy to the Tongshen medicine hall . You can come with me if you want "

After that Lin Yu turned around and limped after his second brother who ran away with the sick boy . In reality they didn\'t want to help but they couldn\'t sit back and see a child dying in front of them , so even if he was born after their father cheated on their mother . Lin Yan and Lin Yu still decided to save the boy .

The refugees saw the family of four being taken away by the rich looking stewards and enviously gritted their teeth . How they wished that someone from their family brought them away too !

Lin Yan brought the child to the Tongshen medicine hall and let doctor Gu , take his pulse . Doctor Gu pondered for a moment after taking the pulse then said " the child developed a lung infection and the mucus have thickened , its normal after not getting a proper treatment much similar to your mother\'s case but his symptoms are not so severe as long as he eats well and rests , he will be fine . Of course his medicine-"

" I\'m willing to pay the money " said Lin Yan though he didn\'t want to jump to conclusions in his heart he have already considered this brat as his brother , half brother or not . Thus, he couldn\'t let him die , so he took out five taels and let Doctor Gu send a nurse to brew medicine for the child .

Doctor Gu originally wanted to say there was no need as they all were from one village but before he could , a man with dirty face and matted hair rushed inside . At first he was surprised and frowned but when he took a closer look , Doctor Gu was stunned and when he saw Father Lin rushing in and checking the frail boy lying on the bed , he was even more shocked .

Naturally , he caught Lin Yan \'s and Lin Yu \'s ugly expressions before coughing and leaving the room with an excuse .

This case he better not get involved ah !
