Chapter 420 - Broken Jar
Lord Fei was the kind of man who wouldn't listen to anyone once he had his mind set on anything.
Which was why once he decided that he will go to Su Wan's house and become family with her so he immediately followed Lin Yan and Su Wan once the two were done with their work.
The old house where Su Wan and Lin Yan lived together with their family wasn't accommodating enough for this Big Buddha but no matter how much the two tried to stop Lord Fei the latter didn't listen to them and insisted to follow them.
Su Wan and Lin Yan had no choice but to let the old master follow them to the Lin family's new residence.
When the three were returning Lord Fei decided to put on his best clothing because according to him this was an important day.
He couldn't just go to Su Wan's house without any formal clothing that wasn't appropriate according to the situation so Lord Fei had changed into one of those dress robes that he used to wear when he appeared in the court in front of the Emperor.
The dress was as flashy as could be thus, when the three reached the Dong Tong village the villagers who sat under the big banyan tree immediately noticed this high profile official that was following Su Wan and Lin Yan.
Madam Qin moved closer to Aunt Lin who too was sitting under the tree and deliberately exclaimed loudly as if she was afraid that the others might miss what she wanted to say. "Aiya Xiaohui, your nephew is seriously amazing! First he was able to marry a wife with such a big dowry and they are able to live a great life with that money she brought with her. Now, the restaurant that she bought with her is completely under his control. I even heard that they were able to fawn upon the headmaster of the academy in the town where Lin Rui is studying now. I heard it was because of the green vegetables they were selling in the market. Even the Uncle of their Wife who came looking for her looks rather galant and impressive. Did you see the carriage he came in? It was so big and classy. I have never seen something like that. Mhm by the looks of it today they were able to meet this old man. From his clothing alone he looks like someone of great importance! Based on the golden colour and pattern of his gown he looks like he is a first rank official related to the royal family! Not just anyone can wear gold in color. I wonder whether he is a close relative of the Emperor or some distant relative."
The highest-ranking official that Madam Qin had seen was the Yamen's officers when they came to catch someone in their village years ago.
If the short-sighted Madam Qin who hasn't seen the better part of the world could understand something like this, how can Madam Zhang not understand this?
The Yamen officers were some low ranking officials that they rushed to suck up to but even those Yamen officers wouldn't look in their direction.
Forget about sucking up to these officers they can't ever get close to them. Yet Su Wan and Lin Yan these two good for nothing were able to get closer to an official that was several levels higher than the Yamen officers!
Madam Zhang spat on the ground willfully. Her expression twisted as she hatefully glared at the pair of husband and wife the two were really good!
Her days in the Old Lin family were getting worse and worse after Lin Che got beaten up he didn't just lose all the money but he also had his hand broken, for three months Lin Che has been staying at home not once did he mention about returning to the academy.
With her lazy husband and little ancestor of a son she couldn't get a moment of peace! She smirked and hatefully muttered.
"Is that something to be surprised about? Didn't you notice in the past when that girl wasn't here? My nephews were nothing but a bunch of good for nothing but now that they have married this Su girl they are getting better and better isn't that because of her? If she can open her legs for five men what's the problem in opening for a few more? It's nothing but a matter of convenience. After all she is already nothing but a depraved woman. Will it matter to her if she had to sleep with a few more men? At least now she has a comfortable life. What can those good for nothing men give her? The jar was already broken, wasn't it? Breaking it a little more... How does that will make a difference? Humph! This talent I am afraid neither I nor my daughter can have or else we wouldn't be suffering here in poverty. Pei!"
"Aiya is that so? No wonder they are getting rich now that they are married." Madam Qin rolled her eyes at Madam Zhang scolding her for being an uncultured woman.
The jar was already broken? Haha if the jar was already broken why not you try to break it too? Or are afraid that no one will want to break the jar even if it's for free!
These men look so important what kind of beauty would they have not already seen? Just say that you are jealous -why don't you!
"Or else do you think that they have the talent to get to know such important figures? It must be that girl. Her scheming is really good! Didn't you see? Not even a day passed and she was able to turn my filial nephews against their grandmother. I bet that girl has a lot of schemes in that little head of hers. I don't get it how can they sleep at night with something so disgusting!"
"So what are they supposed to do talk bad about others like you?" From behind came a sneering voice when Madam Zhang turned around her sister-in-law was standing behind with a mocking smile.
"Zhang Xiaohui you once again ran away from doing house chores and now instead of doing something useful you are busy making rumors behind others' back?"
