"Ouch, ouch, ouch" bright and early as Lin Chen woke up feeling every bit of his muscles being sore and aching like he had been trampled by a horde of horses at first he was kind of confused as to why he was hurting like this but then the memories of last night flashed in his eyes and he sat up straight only to utter a loud moan before falling back on his bed again. Seriously, the way he was treated last night, one would think he wasn't his brothers' brother but an enemy who snaked inside their house, it was that bad. Now that he was reminded of how he was treated Lin Chen was furious and wanted to retaliate, but he didn't dare to the two uncles were his elders and they were terrifying when they got angry.
As for his brothers they were like a pair of wolves in sheep's clothing. If he tried to go against them then they will make him suffer, even more, he wasn't scared of being retaliated again but his poor little body that was the size of a mountain by some miracle wouldn't be able to suffer so much. So does this means that he will have to suffer this injustice in silence? Lin Chen was unwilling but in the end, he have to give up even if he didn't want to, thus he laid on his bed with a sullen expression feeling like doing nothing and just wishing that the world would leave him alone but even if the world was to leave him alone there was no way his brothers would leave him alone.
Just as the sun broke over the horizon and slowly rose up the sky, his second brother's voice could be heard from the other side of his door, as the latter knocked and called his name " Ah Chen are you asleep?"
Lin Chen didn't answer, he knew why Lin Yan was calling for him. Currently, the cream perfume shop's business was booming and because it was getting more and more stable .. Lord Fei has sent a good manager to the shop to look after it. Now Lin Chen was like a boss, if he wanted he could go to the shop but if he wanted to take a leave that wasn't difficult either, of course once in a while he would go and greet his permanent customers who mostly purchased from his shop because he was the one maintaining it aka the face lovers.
Right now because his eldest brother was busy with farming and Lin Yu and Lin Yan couldn't take a break from their work so Lin Chen was asked to stay at home to look after Su Wan, and he was also responsible for chopping the firewood and feed the chickens and the pigs but today he won't do it, humph! He knew that his brother wanted firewood but he was too busy and Lin Yu couldn't bear so much weight as for his eldest brother he must be the fields to water them, they needed him now so they were calling for him?
Not going!
He rolled over in his bed and covered his head with a blanket ignoring all the noise that his second brother was making, he couldn't hear a thing so what can he do?
Lin Yan who was trying to wake Lin Chen up was a little bit nice knowing that he was really a bit too much last night but when Lin Chen didn't respond to him at once, Lin Yan's temper rose and he banged on his door furiously " Listen to me Lin Chen I will admit that I went a little overboard last night but you can't just ignore me like this! I am your elder brother, you hear me?"
The silence in Lin Chen's room showed that he could indeed ignore Lin Yan. Lin Yan was furious, really he was just like a big baby! Lin Yan was slowly losing his temper but he was the one at fault yesterday night- while he was in bed he could hear Lin Chen's painful grans from the restroom after eating so much Sichuan peppercorns last night yet Lin Chen didn't do anything against him, which made Lin Yan feel guilty.
Su Wan was their shared wife, Lin Chen had just as much right on her as they did, he couldn't just get angry and jealous at his brother just because he was jealous of him. That was not nice of him as his elder brother- so, Lin Yan pursed his lips and knocked on the door again with a gentle voice " Ah Chen, just come out. I know you are awake, go and wash up alright? I will make everything that you want me to alright? So now let go of your anger or … I will get Wan Wan, I will tell her you are being a bad boy"
He had done it.. he managed to drag the two things that Lin Chen loved the most food and Su Wan. Just as he expected Lin Chen opened the door though his expression wasn't nice at least he was willing to talk to him right? Lin Yan pasted a flattering smile as he looked at his brother " Ah Chen, Just tell me what you want to eat and I will make it for you right away, consider this as an apology? okay?"
Lin Chen snorted rudely " After that pepper feast do you think I can eat anything second brother? My entire bottom is on fire every time I go to the restroom I feel like I am a dragon, the only difference is that I am breathing fire from somewhere else instead of my mouth"
That made Lin Yan feel even more guilty, he awkwardly rubbed his hands together trying his best to maintain his faltering smile "I…I see, then I will make some simple chicken porridge and egg soup for you-?"
" For me? Alone you mean?" questioned Lin Chen
" No, No..No that's not what I meant" Lin Yan waved his hands in a ' that's not it' manner as he licked his teeth. Really, since when did Lin Chen become so ahem hard to please? In the past, he liked to eat chicken porridge! What Lin Yan forget that Lin Chen was no longer the same Lin Chen from a year ago where he will be pleased with just a savoury porridge. Now he was a big boss, what was shredded chicken porridge, when he could eat so many delicacies?
Lin Yan didn't understand but he still pasted a fake smile and promised " The entire family will eat it, alright?"
Only then did Lin Chen nod in satisfaction, humph see without him they could do nothing.
