Chapter 42 - Study Hard And Become An Official
" Wa..n Wa..n don't wo..worry , we will tre..treat you real.really well. Do..Don't be an..angry " Once Su Wan was done checking out the embroidery shop , she checked on the make up shop as well . At first she wanted to buy some essential oils for making soaps first but just like the embroidery shop , the Su family had already looted away that shop as well
. Except for some poor quality rogue and face powder nothing was left , Su Wan who was already angry finally flew up into a rage and fired the manager who curry favoured with Chen Yanyu and Su Lan and promoted a sharp minded and quick witted Woman named Ye Xiaoli as the make up shop manager.
The Lin brothers especially Lin Yan were really worried that Su Wan would get angry at their lack of capabilities and leave them . The Su family was really shameless , they actually looked down on their Lin family so much that they dared to bully their wife after she got married in their house , if this wasn't looking down on them what was ?
Lin Jing and the others were ashamed , they couldn't even protect their wife . Nor could they earn enough money to pamper her , Even after getting married in their family Su Wan has to go out of the house and manage things on her own .
" Why will I be angry at you ?" asked Su Wan frowning as she glanced at Lin Yu " its not like you egged on the Su family to loot the drowry shops of a married daughter ? why will I be angry ?"
" Isn't it because we are useless ? That the Su family looks down at us " said Lin Rui with a mocking smile " Our family don't have much money and neither of us have a respectable job , that's why the Su family believe that its fine for them to bully you like this "
Su Wan scowled then she turned around with her hands on her hips and pointed at Lin Rui with an angry face " Don't you dare to mock yourself like that ever again ! You are my husbands , if you look down on yourselves like this then who am I supposed to look at ? To me you all exceptionally talented and smart , its not your fault that the Su family dared to bully me like this , its my own fault ! Because I let them bully me for years in the name of filial respect . If I'm getting bullied its because I'm weak ! It has nothing to do with either of you and if you still think that its your fault that I'm being bullied then you better start working hard . "
Su Wan never once thought that it was her husbands fault that she got bullied so badly even after getting married . The previous owner had acted mute for years , even when she knew that her family members were eating and dressing up well because of the income from her mother's dowry shops. The previous Su Wan remained silent and suffered under the Su family because of the so called filial peity . Even if she rebelled against the Su family a day before she got married , the impression left by the previous owner was hard to forget , maybe the Su family thought that it was a one time tantrum that she threw after knowing that they were marrying her off as a shared wife and soon once her temper simmered down , she will back to the previous Su Wan who suffered the injustice with her mouth zipped close .
Hehe ; if it was the previous owner maybe she would really suffer like she did previously but too bad for the Su family , that she wasn't the previous Su Wan!
" And stop worrying about me " said Su Wan as she glanced at her husbands " I'm not angry because they snatched away a few things and bullied me , I'm angry because we lost our money but never mind , if we lost it , we lost it . Its fine , its not like my husbands aren't capable of earning back that money "
" that's right " said Lin Yan his eyes that were brimming with guilt and shame finally brightened " If we lost some money this month , we all need to work harder and earn it back by next month ! "
Only then he will become a capable husband !
" Y..yes we..we. will ea..earn even mor..more " said Lin Yu as he clenched his fists tightly in determination .
" I will work hard too " said Lin Jing as he touched the pouch that was carrying the seeds packet , he swore that he won't waste even a single seed and successfully grow these crops ! Once these green vegetables sprouted no one will be stop their road to success .
" Me too " said Lin Rui smiled and nodded at Su Wan
" you need to focus on your studies " said Su Wan when she listened that Lin Rui wanted to help out in the shops and farm lands . In her eyes if Lin Rui started helping around in the shops then he will be wasting away his talent .
" Studies ? But we don't have money " said Lin Rui blinking with a helpless expression decorated, he too wanted to study hard and become and official but his family had no money ! Even the cheapest school in the town charged a few taels of silver . How can Lin Rui be selfish enough to spend so much money on his studies when that money could be used to bring his mother's medicine and their necessary needs.
" if we don't have money we will earn it " Su Wan was confident , even if she couldn't become one of the richest woman in the town . She was certain that she could atleast earn a decent amount of money for her family to lead a comfortable life " In our family except you no one else have the talents to become a Xiaocai or even a Tongsheng , much less an official . If you give up on your studies now , its possible that you will regret it in the future " pausing Su Wan licked her dry lips and continued " And if our family has an official we won't have to be afraid about getting bullied "
She obviously meant Lin Che when she said that; even though Lin Che wasn't smart that didn't mean that he will never become an official . Continuous failure was the road of success even if he failed today and tomorrow , there will be a time when Lin Che would get used to the exam pattern and pass the exams. Even if he doesn't become an official , even a Title of Xiaocai was enough for him to bully them .
" Wan Wan is right" Lin Yan agreed " We can't let anyone bully us in the future , Ah Rui you work hard in your studies leave the problem of earning money to your big brothers . If we can support that useless Trash Lin Che, we can support you too !"
" Study . Good " even Lin Jing agreed with Su Wan and Lin Yan 's suggestion .
" Ye..yes brother you ..you. con..continue with yo..your stu..studies " Lin Yu too was supportive of his fourth brother continuing his studying , he had seen that ever since he was a child , the village kids respected that idiot Lin Che just because he was a scholar in training . Lin Yu knew that his brother was smarter than Lin Che , if only Grandma Lin didn't stop his brother from going to school. His brother would be a Xiaocai by now !
Seeing that his family persisted in asking him to continue his studies . Lin Rui could no longer refuse their kindness and he nodded , instead his eyes turned red if he wasn't afraid about brawling in the middle ofthe street, he would have hugged his family and cried like a baby . Only Lin Rui knew how heartbroken he was when Grandma Lin refused to let him go to school , becoming an official was Lin Rui's dream and studying was his passion . When Grandma Lin stopped him from going to school , she didn't only barred his path as an official , she broke his heart and stomped on his dreams !
