Chapter 124 - You Better Not Touch Me ,
" mother don't get angry on Jing ge , he did take me to the foot of the mountains but the things that I wanted wasn't there , so I stubbornly insisted Jing ge to take me to the mountain trails , I know there could have been dangers involved but Jing ge would never let me get hurt . Jing ge only took me there because I told him that I needed something- if you want to scold someone please scold me mother " Su Wan hopped down Lin Jing 's back and couldn't bear to see that Lin Jing being scolded like that , so she quickly pulled the responsibility on herself .
Mother Lin 's tight expression softened a little , she knew that Lin Jing would have never taken Su Wan to the mountain trails without telling her about his experience . The fact that he told Su Wan about that horrible experience of his meant that he truly cared about his wife and was willing to talk more , ever since that accident Lin Jing had closed off more and more from everyone , and mother Lin felt really guilty about that , Lin Jing was her eldest born and she had been relying upon him too much because this son of hers was just too mature for his age , it was only after her husband died, did she realised that her son had become so stoic and reserved that he wouldn't talk to anyone and by the time she realised this it was already too late - it took years before she could get Lin Jing out of his shell and talk with her, and now that he was actually behaving like how a young man should be acting , Mother Lin couldn't help but relish a little , this was after all a new experience for her " Wan Wan don't blame mother for being so nosy but after what happened to Ah Jing when he was young … mother is really afraid of the idea of sending anyone to the mountain "
Su Wan helped Lin Jing put the baskets down that were full of flowers and rabbit meat , then replied to mother Lin in an understanding tone "I know mother , don't worry I won't let Jing ge take me there ever so often , I only needed some things for my new products . I promise I won't go again with Jing ge , to the mountains without your permission, mother "
Su Wan looked at the bucket of flowers and sighed , looks like the people here were really afraid of the mountains ,if she really told her family that she wanted to buy that valley then they might oppose her , its better to buy a piece of safe land and cultivate it as her personal garden .
" New products ? What kind of novel products are you trying to make now Wan Wan ?" Mother Lin truly trusted this daughter in law of hers , now that Su Wan had told her that she actually went to the mountains because she had a new product in mind , mother Lin no longer wanted to fake scold her stupid block of son ( that stupid block just seduced the freak out of your daughter in law , do you know that ?) " what kind of products do you want to prepare Wan Wan ?"
" oh nothing just some makeup product that young missies of the town will like to buy " Su Wan didn't dare to say it out loud in case she failed in extracting the essentials oils and though she had got a fair amount of flowers and beeswax now , she wasn't a perfectionist - she knew that she will fail quite a lot of time before , she can actually extract the essential oil properly .
" is that so ? " mother Lin looked at the bunch of flowers that Su Wan had brought with her , even though mother Lin had never used it before , she did have an inkling of the so called scented oils and their popularity in the market . Mother Lin knew that Su Wan wanted prepare something like that but given how Su Wan liked to differ from the normal trends , this daughter in law of hers most probably had some really unique idea to sell her so called new products .
" that's right but mother look at this " said Su Wan as she hurried towards Lin Jing and held out her hands , Lin Jing understood what she was trying to say so he took out the ginseng from his pouch and handed it to Su Wan who rushed back and showed it to mother Lin " I and Jing ge found it in the mountains , If we sell it , we might earn quite a lot with this - we no longer have to worry about our savings anymore "
Mother Lin , looked at the ginseng in Su Wan's hands and let out an excited shriek that made Lin Rui , Lin Chen and Lin Yu to drop their work and rush over. All of them thought that something happened to their mother but they never thought that they will actually see a hundred year old ginseng .
" it must be hundred years old " said Lin Rui knowledgeably , taking the ginseng in his hands from Su Wan's " however , if we want to sell this for a good price we need to wait for your uncle to come back from the prefectural city . Other than him no one will give us a fair amount for this ginseng "
Su Wan thought about it a little and nodded after hesitating for a while , the original host's uncles did love their sister and niece but they were pedantic and narrow minded , in their eyes a married daughter was like spilled water - and they couldn't see eye to eye with Su Bai so they never met with the original Su Wan much , she could only hope that her uncle doesn't realise her ' true identity ,' or god knows what will happen but she also knew that what Lin Rui said was right , only the original owner's uncle would give them a proper price " Alright , we will wait for my uncle to return and then we will sell it . With our family's background I think its better if we get this sum of money as savings , at least we didn't have to fight tooth and nails for saving some money . And maybe we might be able to renovate our house and fix the broken roof and beams - its better to buy more land as well since mother doesn't like Jing ge to go to the mountains , Jing ge might as well farm more "
" Do we really have to ? " said Lin Chen with a joking smile " I mean all of us are already working hard enough , if we keep up with this we might be able to earn a decent sum of money each month "
" oh that's right " lifting her head , Su Wan cocked a brow arrogantly " but if you want to earn just to get by then you better not touch me , because I'm not letting my children live a life just to get by " dare to have such a lazy bum thoughts ? Then you better be a lazy bum in everything !
