Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 761: Selling their lands

"Yes, Yes, I am the bad one," Lin Jing was more than happy to coax his wife after eating her clean, he did not even mind saying some extra words to please her as he continued to wipe her clean and helped her dress up.          

    

Seeing that her husband was no longer acting sullen and was accommodating towards her, Su Wan was very happy as well. She stopped complaining and then sat up on the bed while rubbing her stomach, after tossing and turning around for such a long time, she was now getting hungry.      

After she was done dressing up she walked out of the room where Lin Jing slept along with her husband and as soon as she walked out she saw Qi Shuyan and the other two kids feeding the chickens and ducks that they were raising.      

In fact, with their current situation, they no longer needed to raise chickens and ducks but Su Wan wanted the kids to grow up learning their roots instead of just recklessly playing around while thinking that they can laze around with the money their big brothers were earning, she wanted to send them to a scholar to start studying but with the change in their plans she could only wait until they left for the Great Ocean city and settle down there before sending these kids to school and since Qi Zhi liked to raise these small things, it was only a plus one to everything.      

When Qi Zhi saw his sister in law he immediately rushed to her side and showed her the earthworms that he had dug out of the sand near the pond and said, " Look sister in law, I dug these earthworms to feed the chickens with sister and elder brother! I will give sister-in-law the first egg they lay!"      

Qi Zhi knew that they had enough meat and fish to eat but he still wanted to give his share in the food by raising these chickens and ducks such that they will lay lots and lots of eggs.      

Su Wan smiled at him as she patted the little boy on the head, quite happy with his growth. When Qi Zhi came to their house, he was still as thin as a stick and his cheeks were sunken but now he looked like one of those blessed babies who brought good fortune. " I see, then I will be waiting for little Zhi to bring me the first egg then."      

Su Wan did not refute him by telling Qi Zhi that it will take a lot of time for these hens to lay eggs instead she nodded and agreed with him while encouraging him to do a good job.      

Seeing that his sister-in-law was praising him, Qi Zhi nodded and excitedly said, " I will do it well, sister-in-law!"      

Su Wan smiled and added, " Then you can continue to raise these chickens and ducks, if you all do a good job then I will allow you all to raise a big farm of chickens, ducks and piglets which will be used to bring more money for our family."     

Since they were young, she might as well start teaching them how to plan their future such that they will know what to do and how to earn more money.      

When Qi Zhi heard that he could own an entire farm, his eyes shone with glee as he nodded and said, " I will do it … I will do it, sister-in-law."      

Seeing his excitement, Su Wan was amused, she leaned down and pinched his chubby cheeks while saying,  "It's all right but if you want to do well then you need to go and learn some important things from your fourth brother… if I am not wrong you three were supposed to be learning with your fourth brother right?"      

Qi Shuyan chuckled when he saw his younger brother stiffen as he turned to look at his sister-in-law and answered, " Fourth brother went to the village, it seems that fifth brother has found the vein of the hot springs that were in our village house and because he wanted to name the mountain after our family as soon as possible, fifth brother took fourth brother Rui with him to the village to sign the documents."      

" Something like that happened?" Su Wan was really surprised, she did not expect Lin Yu would succeed in finding the vein so soon with Lin Chen after all the springs must be deep in the mountains but it seems like her husbands were smarter than she gave them credit for, they were able to find the veins this quickly because they knew what they needed to do.      

" Yu left one of his workers in the mountains," Lin Yan who came out of the kitchen while carrying three bowls of rice noodles in his hands. He guided Qi Mei to help him set the table while he turned to look at Su Wan who was being helped to the dinner table by his elder brother. "He knew that it will be difficult for him to find the vein if he continued to work this slowly which was why he threw a bait at his workers."      

" What bait?" Su Wan was bemused when she heard that Lin Yu lured his workers into working so hard.     

" That the one who was to first to dig out the vein will be able to get a gold tael," Lin Yan was very against such a reward but with limited time in their hands, they could only go with this shortcut. " The workers were more than efficient when they found out that they can earn a gold tael just by digging, which was why Ah Yu succeeded so quickly."      

Lin Yan paused and then added while giving Su Wan a look, " Ah Yu said that it meant what someone once said —— work efficiently instead of working harder."      

Su Wan coughed when she heard Lin Yan's words after all she knew that she was the one who told something like this to Lin Yu. In the end, she avoided looking at Lin Yan altogether and said, "Let's eat, I am starving!"
