Chapter 12 - Break It For Me
Hearing Su Wan ask them to get change the Lin brothers were shocked, if they changed what will happen to their wedding night ? Though the Lin brothers were all good seedlings who never touched any woman outside their house , that didn't mean they were good enough to let the meat that was almost hanging in front of them run away .
The moment they brought Su Wan back , almost every Lin brother had the thought of consummating their marriage , even Lin Yu wanted to have a bit of alone time with Su Wan. At first he was worried that Su Wan will find him displeasing to her eyes and was prepared for facing her disdain but she treated him nicely just like all his brothers infact , it could be said that Su Wan treated him the best among the four brothers . ??
Thus , Lin Yu was also looking forward to spending a night with his wife but now looking at his determined wife,he knew that the thought about consummating their marriage already flew from her mind .
" What are you looking at me like that?" seeing that none of the brothers moved , Su Wan grew impatient " Hurry up , can't you see how abandoned this place looks ? If you don't clean up, don't think of even entering the house!"
With that she turned around picked a bucket , placed a broom and rag in it and walked away . All the Lin brothers were stunned and looked at Their eldest brother , if Su Wan didn't consummate the marriage then the first one to suffer was Lin Jing , as he was the eldest and the oldest .
Lin Jing could feel his brothers expectant gazes but he too was helpless . What can he do ? force Su Wan to consummate ? Naturally he couldn't do it , after all she was his wife and he should love and pamper her , if she said west then he wouldn't dare to go east .
Hence, he could only let out a disappointed sigh " C'mon clean up "
Meaning hurry up and clean .
Seeing that their eldest brother was also picking up a sickle and heading towards the weeds surrounding the house , the other Lin brothers could only exchange disappointed looks with each others and follow what their wife asked them to do .
Mother Lin saw her sons acting like bullied little kids and chuckled , honestly these young men ! She shook her head and walked inside the house trying to see if she could help with any thing .
However , before she could even enter the threshold she was stopped by Su Wan who already changed her clothes .
Su Wan had found her wedding dress a lot of hassle , she was even surprised that she actually made it so far to this house without tripping on her own dress !
Thus , the first thing she did after entering the house was rush to the bathing house and change her clothes , even though the bath house was dusty and mouldy , it was a small space to clean thus Su Wan quick and agile as she was thoroughly cleaned the bath house .
After that she wiped her body and changed into a less bothersome dress . Now she was wearing a pale blue skirt and pink blouse , she even tied her hair in a bun , the significant hairstyle for a woman who was already married .
" Mother , you can not come in right now there is too much dust flying around " Su Wan naturally saw that Mother Lin was coming inside the dusty house and hurried to stop her .
" I can help , Wan Wan" Mother Lin was an honest woman , she wasn't used to getting pampered that's why she couldn't sit still for long .
" No , mother with your condition we can not take any risk what if the dust irked your coughing fit ? Please sit outside under the shade " Su Wan was worried that the old woman's body might not feel well if she inhaled to much dust and with the cold that was already settled in Mother Lin 's body , she was even more careful about not taking any risk , even if it meant making Mother Lin unhappy .
As expected when she stopped Mother Lin from working , the old woman pouted then looked at her second son , in an aggrieved manner .
Seeing Mother Lin act like this Su Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry .
Lin Yan saw his mother pleading look but he too remembered how his mother will start coughing whenever , she sweeped the floor . Now , that Su Wan stopped his mother from working , Lin Yan thought it through , the trouble wasn't mother Lin 's body , maybe his mother was having allergic reaction to the the dust that was flying around at that time .
" Mother , listen to Wan Wan and sit down " Lin Yan spoke because he truly was worried about his mother but mother Lin who wasn't use to hearing no from her sons was shocked .
But later on she decided to use this matter to tease Lin Yan
" Lin Yan. ! You unfilial child , your wife just crossed the threshold and you longer hold your mother in importance?" not only did Mother Lin shouted such words she even ran out with an anguished expression , Su Wan knew that the old woman most likely went to annoy her eldest son when the second son refused to pamper her and chuckled .
She already knew that Mother Lin wad teasing Lin Yan but as she carefully looked at the dark expression on Lin Yan 's face , she carefully looked away .
Whatever, her motto has always been :- see no evil , do no evil , say no evil .
Just now ,according to her mantra she didn't saw Lin Yan 's evil expression either .
Su Wan left Lin Yan to himself and hurriedly started to clean the pillars and floor of the old house and as she was cleaning the house , her sight fell on the broken piece of the pillar that she was cleaning.
She frowned and crouched down picking it up , she looked at the broken piece then at the damaged pillar .
Though the house was old , it wasn't on the verge of collapsing , and the wood used was good as well so there was no question of mites eating this pillar away .
And , it didn't looked like the work of mites either , nor did the work of a ghost .
This was most probably the work of a man.
Once Su Wan came to this conculsion , her gaze fell on more and more evidences of men purposely destroying such a good house .
The beams were broken from between , the roof was broken without any rhyme and reason and almost no pillar was left intact .
At first Su Wan was only doubtful that the Ling family didn't want anyone to buy the house but now she was almost certain seeing the deliberate state of dilapidated building , that the Ling family didn't wanted to sell this house , even though they put the house on sale . They wanted no one to buy it , but why ?.
From her husbands and mother in law conversation, she knew that the Ling family was well settled in the capital and had no thought of returning to the village , then why go to such lengths ?
Su Wan thought and thought as she trailed the marks left by the previous owners , the more she walked inside the house , the more severe the damage became .
Finally , she reached one door that looked completely new as if it was just built but despite it new look , the every inch of the door was covered with yellow papers for exorcism that were fading .
Su Wan carefully looked behind and when she saw that no one was behind her she hurriedly rushed to examine the door . Frantically , she tore down the exorcism papers , finally she was able to tear a part of it touched the door .
Just as her finger touched the door , Su Wan was startled , her heart thumped loudly .
The door was warm , like baked toasty warm . As if it had a barbeque coal burning inside it , trembling Su Wan tried to peer inside the room but just as she crouched down .
" Wife? what are you doing here, get away from that room ?"
Su Wan jumped at the sudden voice and turned around , behind her was Lin Chen who arrived god knows when but Su Wan had no time to think , her excitement was flooding her brain as she grasped Lin Chen 's heart firmly then pointed at the door and said " break it for me "
