Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 7 - Fishing ( Part 1)

Su Wan woke up after a quick power nap , though she felt a bit tired as she stretched her stiff limbs , she knew that if she didn't wake up now there won't be anything good to eat. The Lin brothers were frugal men , who only knew how to roast meat with a pinch of salt and nothing else , if she didn't took command of the kitchen right now , she might end up eating something unappetizing to her taste .

She walked out of the small hut and found Lin Yu who was helping Lin Chen , pile the fire wood in diffrent baskets . ??

" Oh wife , you are awake?" said Lin Chen with a wide grin that stretched across his face " Are you feeling alright , you can sleep some more . Mother isn't awake either "

Su Wan shook her head and walked out , she looked around and found herself a long stick that she might be able to use as a fishing rod .

" Do you have some string preferably The one kids use to fly kites ?" asked Su Wan surprising Lin Yu and Lin Chen but the brothers only exchanged a quick glance and Lin Chen nodded his head .

" I do have some string " said Lin Chen fishing out a roll of long white thread from his cloth bag " but wife , why do you need it ? do you want to fly kite ?"

Su Wan rolled her eyes and took the string from Lin Chen , she tied a knot at the end of the stick to use it as a handle, she didn't tied the string to the extreme end of the stick as the fish might be able to break it off. Then she winded the line up to the tip of the stick and tied another knot on the end of the stick.

" Here curve this pin in this shape " said Su Wan as she handed Lin Chen one of her old hair pin and drew the shape of a hook on the dirt , to have him understand what kind of shape she wanted him to make .

Lin Chen was a bit surprised , he didn't knew what Su Wan was trying to do but he was someone who listened to his wife thus , he picked up a rock that was as big as his fist and stsrted to curve the hair pin in the desired hook shape .

" Make the edge a bit sharper " ordered Su Wan as she watched Lin Chen work in curving the hair pin into a fish hook .

As she sat by the side on a rock and watched Lin Chen busy himself with the hair pin , she watched a few of the villager women come and go , all of them pointed at her with their eyes and started whispering among themselves . Su Wan arched a brow and threw a proactive at them , all of the women scampered . And Su Wan inwardly laughed , dare to point yet afraid to face , what a bunch of cowards .

" Wife , its done " Lin Chen spoke up suddenly , startling her out of her thoughts , she looked at the sharpen hook in his hands and smiled .

" Mhmm you have worked hard " praised Su Wan as she patted Lin Chen 's head who blushed furiously , looking a bit embarrassed.

" W-wife , where are - are you g-going ?" a shy timid voice called her and Su Wan naturally looked t the source , she was a bit surprised because standing there was Lin Yu .. ahem , is he going through puberty ? His voice is a bit on feminine side

" I'm going to the river " said Su Wan hitching her hand made fishing rod and picked up a small bucket from the luggage that the brothers brought

" River ?"

" River ?"

" Yes river , bring me there " said Su Wan looking a bit annoyed at the dilly dally of the two brothers .

" But why do you want to go there ? Wife if you want fish , I can go and catch it " said Lin Chen hurriedly taking away the weird pole and bucket from Su Wan .

" Of course, you are the one catching them " said Su Wan with a huge eyeroll " I'm just going to teach you how to catch more fishes , in less time"

Lin Chen looked a bit stunned but he nodded and left Lin Yu to take care of Mother Lin as he and Su Wan set off to the river side .
