Madam Zhu was indeed excited to see Su Wan, when she was young, she only had two little brothers and no sisters to take care of and when she grew up and married Shen Junxi, she consecutively gave birth to three sons instead of a daughter. For three times she tried to give birth to a daughter that she wanted but no! What came out of her womb were three big idiotic pieces of meatloaves!
The three big idiotic pieces of meatloaves: ' we are yellow cabbages, in an abandoned field no one loves us because we are yellow cabbages abandoned in a field '
If Shen Junxi could be called a niece fanatic, then Madam Zhu could also be counted as one but she just knew how to hide it well. The reason she worked so hard to push her stubborn husband to come and check on Su Wan was all because she wanted a girl! A girl by her side! So what if she can't give birth to a daughter? She still has a niece!
" you are cuter than I thought you were!" gushed Madam Zhu as she cupped Su Wan's face and let go of her " come on call me eldest aunt, I have worked really hard to persuade that bull of an Uncle of yours, if not for me he would still be sulking in the house, pouting and then crying every next weekend after getting drunk that his niece doesn't like him. Men they can be so thick-headed sometimes, I tell you"
Su Wan ".."
Shen Junxi whose secrets were being spilled out immediately jumped in trying to stop, Madam Zhu from giving away all his secrets " Hey, Hey woman ...stay put, what are you saying -"
but who was Madam Zhu, once she started speaking, no one could stop her from speaking? She was like a rapid-fire gun, she continued on without listening to Shen Junxi " this man is even more hard-headed compared to your other uncles, he doesn't look like it but once something hurts him, he will keep brooding on it for years - I'm not exaggerating, it's the truth, you have no idea how much, I and your cousin brothers tried to persuade him but he just kept bitching about how you called him ugly, like - I don't blame you, he is pretty scary and he doesn't even know how to smile"
Shen Junxi who was standing beside Madam Zhu felt numerous metaphorical arrows striking him one after another, doesn't even know how to smile? Why didn't he know that he had so many flaws?
How could Shen Junxi know that Madam Zhu was saying all this to make Su Wan believe she had no fault in whatever happened before, this woman who wanted a daughter has no qualms in striking her husband's confidence to make her niece feel good.
" Eldest Aunt, I understand" so please stop! Eldest Uncle looks like he was going to cry if you keep going! Su Wan who could see the moping expression of her eldest uncle behind Madam Zhu hurriedly stopped her aunt, to emphasise her words, she even held Madam Zhu's hands.
Madam Zhu whose hands were held suddenly felt flying on the seventh heaven! So soft! So small! Completely different from my bulky sons! At home Madam Zhu was the smallest, even her youngest son was taller than her!
" yes, yes - it's good that you understand but Wan Wan, why are you lying on the bed? Did someone bully you and made you feel uncomfortable?" though Madam Zhu's words were light and it sounded as she was just asking casually, Lin Yan who was standing by the side silently after being pushed aside, suddenly felt a chill rise in the between his legs. He suddenly felt as if a threat was coming in his direction and if he didn't dodge it well, he would be greatly harmed!
So he immediately cleared his throat and spoke up "no, no one bullied Wan Wan - she, she is just having her time of the month-"
" who asked you ?" Shen Junxi who didn't and couldn't like the Lin brothers as they were the ones who stole his precious niece from him, impatiently brushed aside Lin Yan's explanation," we are asking Wan Wan, there is no need for you to interrupt "
Lin Yan "..." if so why didn't you stop me when I was telling you? Why stop me after I told you what's wrong with her? Wasn't this the classic example of throwing one aside after taking advantage of them? Was he just taken advantage of by his in-laws?
Madam Zhu on the other hand continued on as if she didn't hear the small scuffle that just happened behind her " oh you are feeling uncomfortable, that's so bad. Don't worry aunt knows how to cook some nourishing soup at such times. I will cook some for you, after drinking it you will be fine"
Though Lin Yan's care was really gentle and full proof, he was in the end a man. He didn't know much about women health issues, on the other hand, Madam Zhu understood Su Wan's situation after she heard what was wrong with her Niece. She could tell that Su Wan was likely suffering because her womb was cold, women with cold wombs had a hard time during their periods, thus, in such situations, there were certain nourishing soups that they should drink to take care of their cold wombs.
" you can cook some for Wan Wan when we return back home," said Shen Junxi with a doting look in his eyes "Wan Wan, just tell uncle what you need to pack, Uncle will pack that for you "
Su Wan "..." this was the millionth time, I am shocked speechless, pack my bags? Are you going to forcefully kidnap people in broad daylight? You can do such a thing?
Lin Yan "..." what's with this forcefully snatching of Our wife? do you think I'm dead? Can't you see me? Her husband?
Lin Chen and the others have just arrived on time to hear, Shen Junxi plans to snatch Su Wan away. Immediately, Lin Jing and Lin Rui stopped to think of the most reasonable plan, Lin Yu paused to calculate the chances of his counterattacks on another hand Lin Chen already charged forward on the battlefield without discussing the battle tactics.
" what do you mean pack Wan Wan's bags? She is our wife! You can't take her away just like that! I married her! With customs and ceremony and everything else! " Lin Chen was so angry that he wanted to beat someone up, first his wife was snagged by his eldest brother, then his fourth brother took his wife away then this happened - why was the universe trying to snatch his wife from him? Does he not deserve to be happy ?
Shen Junxi was not at all fazed by Lin Chen, he clasped his hands behind his back and said lightly " when you married her, did you get my permission or her other uncles permission? Su Bai is nothing but a good for nothing whose only good point is that he cooperated in giving birth to Su Wan, he doesn't count "
" and since you didn't take my permission or anyone from the maternal side of Wan Wan's family, I have full rights not to accept this marriage, what marriage? Where is the proof? "
" I - Wan Wan is registered under our family's register" Lin Chen could only come back with this record under Shen Junxi's immense pressure.
"That? I have some contacts in the yamen, I can change that in seconds. My Wan Wan is so good and beautiful, which attributes of yours can match with hers? With me here, she doesn't need to get a husband till she is thirty -only after I'm done spoiling her will you brats have a chance. Bunch of immature brats wanting to eat such a beautiful swan's meat, such beasts! Pei!"
