Chapter 795: Daughter became son
Widow Li was furious when the door was shut in her face, she wanted to scold Old Madam Hu but she did not dare to after all, she was not as tall and strong as Old Madam Hu, the last time when they fought, it was her who suffered!
" Why are you acting so arrogant, just because they brought a handful of seaweed, pei! If the magistrate knew that a beautiful woman like me lives down the slope, he would have never brought anything from you," Widow Li muttered as she climbed down the stairs one by one and then went towards her house but as she hopped down the last stair, she could not help but look in the direction of the big house.
Even though she saw the man from afar, she could tell that he was really good looking at least he was much better looking than her husband who was average looking and only knew how to go to the sea all day long before getting lost in the sea and never coming back.
" If only I can become that man"s concubine," Widow Li muttered, she was really confident because of her good looks and she also knew that after a woman gave birth, she no longer looked as pretty as she did when she was newly married.
Maybe she can take advantage of this opportunity and cosy up with that man? Once she becomes his concubine just how difficult will it be to take care of that woman and her child?
Lin Yu did not know that he already attracted trouble after stepping out of the house. He brought back the seaweed which he was sent to buy earlier and then went looking for his brother who was blanching the pork bones which were boiling in a large pot that they brought with them from the town where they lived.
" I brought the seaweed, second brother," Lin Yu limped over to where Lin Yan was and then placed the wooden bowl down. Lin Yan looked at the seaweed which looked fresh and nodded after he was done taking out the clear soup and then said, " Go and wash it clean, I will add it once it"s clean."
As he finished speaking he placed the pot of clear soup on the stove and then ignited it again before adding the lotus root and waited until Lin Yu was done washing the seaweed before he added it to the soup along with some ginger and goji berries in the soup along with some shredded pork which was taken from the neck bone and ribs.
" I will leave it to you guys, once it is done cooking bring it to Wan Wan," as he spoke he turned to leave with some quickly made egg drop soup, though he knew that what Su Wan was craving was some seaweed soup, the soup needed to be steamed for more than four hours before it could be drunk which was why he could only make do with the egg drop soup for now.
" I will take care of the soup, second brother," Lin Yu nodded, these days he was being given more and more tasks where he had to walk around and he did not find them annoying at all. Thus, when he heard Lin Yan say that the soup needed to be boiled for four hours, he happily agreed. ????????.???
Behind him, Lin Rui was also about to agree but Lin Yan turned to him and said, " Go and study a little with Headmaster Yuan, it"s still early and the kids are sleeping, once you have finished studying you can come and see the kids."
Lin Rui had been travelling for months and his studies had been affected which was why Lin Yan was rather strict with him, in march, the tongshen examinations will be held and if he continued like this how will he pa.s.s those exams?
When Lin Rui heard that he needed to finish his lessons before seeing the children he was really annoyed but under the glare of his second brother, he could only turn on his heels and leave.
What a mess! He became a father but he still had to study! For the first time in his life, Lin Rui felt that the books which he carried became his enemies!
Lin Yan on the other hand did not care about what Lin Rui was thinking, he was walking towards Su Wan"s room with a light step which had a little spring to it. Even though he could not wait to carry his daughters!
Because Lin Yan and the rest were given one job after another, he did not know that his imaginary daughter now had a little birdie attached. He was still lost in his daydream that he was going to become a father of two daughters.
" Wan Wan, I am here!" He announced with a bright smile as he rushed inside the room where his children were and then looked at his wife who looked tired but was still smiling when she stared at the two kids who were peacefully sleeping next to her.
" Why are you yelling? If you are here then just come inside," Su Wan rolled her eyes when she saw how happy Lin Yan looked, a part of her was surprised that he was not sobbing at the loss of his imaginary daughter but she did not question it.
Lin Yan touched his nose when he heard his wife"s scolding but he still cleared his throat and then walked over to the two kids who were sleeping after crying for so long, he looked at their beautiful faces and could not help but tear up a little.
Finally, his face was of some use —— look at this his daughters were so good-looking! He sighed and then set the bowl down next to Su Wan and said, " I did not think that we will become parents of two kids, though we came up with a name … it is one less, why don"t we call the youngest one, Lin Qing He?"
Su Wan blinked her eyes and then frowned before saying, "It"s a good name but don"t you think that our son will be teased with such a girly name?"
