Chapter 839: Drawing Plans
With everyone working together, it did not take long for the on-site appraisal to finish quickly. Once it was dealt with, Su Wan returned to the home that was allocated to her while Yan Zhao went back to the office to tell his colleagues about the shares. He did not want his colleagues to miss out on such an opportunity, as whether or not they agreed—— it was completely depended on them.
" You should have seen how wife dealt with that guard," the first thing Lin Chen did after returning home was to tell everyone about Lai Baihu and Qi Zhen. He was really disgusted by Qi Zhen and his fake attitude, even though it was clear that the man wanted to watch Su Wan die, he was still smiling on the surface as if he was not affected by the entire thing. " And that Qi Zhen!
He is truly despicable. Do you know how he tried to threaten Wan Wan? I almost punched him in the face but stopped as I knew that I could not deal with him for the time being."
While Lin Jing had nothing to say, Lin Yu agreed with what Su Wan did.
" It's good that wife dealt with that guard. If he had given a warning then he would have continued with his actions, after all, men like him don't learn their lesson unless they suffer," Lin Yu knew such thugs while working in the drinking inns of the town.
They teased and forced women, in case they were caught with him complaining to Yamen, they would beg and plead before patting their bottoms and leaving.
For two to three months those thugs indeed acted as good citizens but when they saw that no one was stopping them anymore, they started to act as a hooligan again.
On the other hand, Lin Yan took another way to look at the situation in front of him. He pursed his lips while patting Little Feng and said, " I am afraid that the Lai family will not stay quiet after this, what will we do then?"
Su Wan hummed as she asked Lin Rui to bring the four study treasures and then sat down on the chair before replying softly, " It does not matter whether they stay quiet or not, we are clear from the start that our family and the Lai family are unreconciled. There is no point in maintaining a fake relationship on the surface, what's more, it was just a matter of time before the two families fell apart.
The Lai family is used to skimping taxes but that is something that I will never allow, wouldn't they be upset then?"
Lin Rui brought back the four study treasures and Su Wan placed them on the table before she started to draw the plan. She continued, "It is better to win the hearts of commoners rather than maintain a superficial relationship with the Lai family."
From the start Su Wan was clear on what she wanted to do, since the Lai family cannot be touched for the time being, she needed to provide the commoners with a backing such that she would be able to attack one of the pillars of the Lai family.
" Will it be okay?" Lin Yan asked, it was not that he was doubting his wife's abilities but he truly feared that his sons and family would be affected. They were no longer alone but instead, now they had their weakness, if the Lai family tried to target their sons, it would be troublesome.
" It will be fine," Su Wan was confident in her plans. She raised her head and nodded at Lin Yan, " Are family is not a weak chicken anymore whom anyone can stomp on. We have our own ways to deal with those who try to harm us."
Seeing that she had already thought it through, Lin Yan didnt say anything. He simply patted the sleepy Little Feng and looked at Su Wan who was working, " You should also sleep, you have been working since morning."
".. I will go to bed after I am done with this plan," replied Su Wan. She did not want to delay the matter for more than four days lest she was questioned just because she was a woman.
" I will help you," Lin Yu was good at designing clothes and thus, his skills were not any worse than Su Wan's. Hearing his words, Su Wan nodded and agreed.
When Lin Yan and the rest saw that the two of them had set their mind, neither of them said anything. Lin Yan sighed and asked Lin Jing to bring the kids back to their room before heading to the kitchen to make some midnight snacks for his wife and brother.
Lin Chen was the only one who had nothing to do so he went to look for Lin Rui and asked him to teach him a few words. He was the only one who did not have the calibre of studying and did not know any word but now that he was the husband of the county magistrate, he needed to improve himself!
While Lin Yan on the other hand rolled the flour and started to make noodles while looking at Lin Jing who came to see him after he handed the children to Mother Lin.
" What happened? Do you know what kind of plan Wan Wan has in mind ?" Lin Yan questioned Lin Jing who shook his head.
Lin Jing took a look at the shrimp that was resting in the bowl along with squids scallops, clams and mussels before replying, " I have no idea, she only asked me to make a map and nothing more as for what she plans to do, she did not say a word to me about it."
Hearing his elder brother's words, Lin Yan did not doubt him anymore. He simply took out the residual fish stock from the afternoon meal and then started to prepare two bowls of noodles.
" I just hope that no one would trouble her."
