Chapter 39 - Buying Seeds

While Lin Yu was wiping Su Wan 's face , Lin Rui elbowed Lin Yan? in the ribs motioning? him with his eyes to apologise? . Lin Yan? glared? at his third? brother? who glared? sternly back , their staring? match? would have continued? if not? for Lin Jing? who pulled Lin Yan by his collar and pushed? him forward? . Lin Yan staggered and looked at his? eldest brother who narrowed? his eyes? and folded his arms? as he tilted his head at Su Wan? .
Lin Yan? who? understood his brother? the best knew at once what? his eldest brother was saying to him ,? if he wasn't? wrong? then Lin Jing was asking him to hurry up and apologise? before he makes him apologise? .
Lin Yan? trembled? and his face? flushed before? he stepped closer to Su Wan? who didn't? even once? looked at him..seeing her acting like this Lin Yan? was a bit scared? . Yesterday? when they were fighting Su Wan? was fighting? with him on an equal plane but today she was simply ignoring him , Lin Yan? was a bit? terrified? at her expression less face? . He turned to look at his brothers? who? simply jutted their chin asking? him to hurry up? .
Lin Yan? sighed then? twisted his hands in unease , this was the first time? he was apologising? to a woman and thus he had no idea how to cajole his wife .
He opened his mouth? and closed it again which? made him resemble a gold fish .
Su Wan knew that the one who was standing beside her was Lin Yan without? even raising? her head. However , she didn't? raise her and waited , she? wanted to? see what Lin Yan actually wanted to do thus she simply kept looking at Lin Yu who was staring at Lin Yan? .
Lin Yan finally crouched down to Su Wan's? height? and looked at her tear stricken face but she turned her face away? from him , Lin Yan? sighed , trying to hold her hand but everytime? he tried to reach for Su Wan's? hand , Su Wan? would snatch? her hand back . In the end Lin Yan stopped trying to hold her hand " I know? I was wrong , please? forgive? me . I - I was just worried about Ah Yu and said? something offensive . I promise? I will never misunderstand? your intentions? ever , you can rest assured "
" you sure are making a lot of promises " sneered Su Wan? folding her hands in front of chest? " can? you even withhold? them ? And what were you worried about exactly ? Ah Yu is my husband as well will I? bully him or will I look down? at him ? If I look? down? at my husband? won't? I be looking down at myself? as well ?"
" I'm? sorry I? was wrong . I won't? do it again? " promised Lin Yan
" it doesn't? matter if you promise? or not . " said Su Wan? as she turned to look at Lin Yan? expressionlessly " if you ever misunderstand again in the future or scolded me without any rhyme or reason , I will? not cry nor will I make a scene like today . Instead? I will pack my bags and leave? . Don't? think that just because my name is under? your household name I? won't? dare? to leave? , if you upset me or mistreat? me again I will make your head so green that even a green prairie . I'm? still? young , I can still find? someone who will treat me well and love me as I'm? , so if you want a stay silent and homey type you can look somewhere? else ."
Sorry, she wasn't? someone who will compromise? nor was she a damsel in distress. It was just that she was too lazy to start? from? the very beginning? , if she left the Lin household, she? would have? to live like a refugee? . And a lone woman in this era was never? safe but that doesn't? mean? she would just suffer? silently? ! She was? the one who made people? suffer not the other way round , humph .
Listening to? Su Wan's? serious words , The Lin brothers? were stupified? especially? Lin Yan? who was scared? silly? . He knew that Su Wan wasn't? joking , she was serious ! If he or his brothers dared? to treat her unfairly? or offended her in some unforgivable? manner ; she will truly leave them or worse repudiate them !

Thankfully? , the ox cart arrived? when? the atmosphere? between? Su Wan and Lin brothers was? turning awkward? .? Su Wan? and? the Lin brothers? sat down on the ox cart , Lin Yu kept engaging? Su Wan? in small chats apparently? trying to show that he was taking their promise sincerely? . Su Wan? responded? to Lin Yu animatedly but when it was Lin Yan 's turn who said something? , she would just pretend? that air was whistling? in her ears and she couldn't? hear him at all.
Soon? , they arrived? at the major? market of? the five markets . Su Wan? who had never? seen a market ever? since she transmigrated to this place , soon forgot about? her anger and jumped off the ox cart and hooked Lin? Yu 's wrist? in her hand as she looked around .
Small businesses? , street? vendors ,peddlers all of them were gathered? in this market? .
" Jing ge , where are we going? eh ? eh ?" eyes sparkling? like night sky? Su Wan? turned to Lin Jing? as she kept holding on to Lin Yu 's hand who didn't? tug his hand out from her grasp? this time .
Even Lin? Yan didn't? say anything when he saw that Su Wan? was so excited? . Lin Jing? who was on the receiving end of Su Wan's? excited smile , softened his expression? and spoke up " Seeds . Its? closer? " meaning he was going to buy seeds first? because the shop was closer .
Su Wan? nodded hurriedly and followed? after Lin Jing? .
Lin Jing walked past the crowd with ease , he was so big that Su Wan? and the others only need to follow behind him and the crowd will part on its own . Soon , after five minutes of walk Lin Jing brought? them to a shop where big bags that were filled? with seeds in front of their entrance? was? kept.
" oh its Lin Jing " the smiling buddha face shopkeeper? smiled at Lin Jing when he caught sight of him " are you here to buy seeds , boy ?"
" En " said Lin Jing? he was going to point at the seeds of wheat when Su? Wan? with Lin Yu? in tow came to? stop in front of the shopkeeper? and looked around as she spoke " Master shopkeeper? do you have? seeds for bok choy , spinach , romaine lettuce, leaf lettuce , garlic? and chives ? "
" Ah Jing? this is ?"
" Wife " said Lin Jing? simply but if? someone? looked closely? they would see a gentle fondness? on Lin Jing's face .
" oh its your wife? " said The shopkeeper? nodding at Su Wan? with smile , a few days? ago he did hear? that the Lin brothers? married a shared? wife . However? ,the shopkeeper? didn't? judge either the Lin brothers? or their wife? after all who doesn't? have problems in their life ? " Little girl , if you plant? these right? now they will wither soon . Winter is? coming? why don't? you take seeds of radishes? and carrots ?"
" We will take them too but I? want these as well " with a smile Su Wan? replied? the shopkeeper? sweetly? what a joke if she didn't? plant these now what was the use of the hot spring ? How will she sell these rarity and get rich ? The shopkeeper? turned to look at Lin Jing? who understood Su Wan's? intention at once and nodded .
" Alright that will be five? hundred copper coins? " after weighing? the seeds that Su Wan? wanted including the one Lin Jing? ordered , the shopkeeper? handed the packets? to Lin Jing? who took the money from Lin Rui and? handed it? to the Shopkeeper .
After a brief goodbye , they walked off to Su Wan's? embroidery? shop.
