Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 762: Selling their lands ——2

Su Wan was more than contented when she heard that the vein of the hot springs was found while the villagers of the village were more than discontent. They were the ones who were making fun of Lin Yu when they saw that the limp brother of the five Lin brothers was coming to the village every day, only to dig here and there in the mountains.         

    

They all thought that Lin Yu was trying to make himself look useful with his disability when his elder brother was getting more and more successful while he was being disdained for being completely useless but then before they could even finish laughing they found out that Lin Yu found something that was called hot springs in the mountains and was now buying the entire mountain range!      

When they found out about the hot springs they were stunned, no one knew what hot springs were which was why a few villagers snuck into the mountains and tested the water of the springs and when they found out that it was a pool of hot water they were filled with regret, if they knew it before they could have found it for themselves and used it since the mountains were public property back then but now the mountains were the property of the Lin brothers alone!      

Some people went to cause a ruckus at the village head's house but they were shut up by the old man when he told them that the mountains were a part of the village, if someone wanted to buy them, he could not stop them since that was the rule. And if he stopped them then there was a chance that Lin Yu and his brothers might go to the magistrate and complain against him, a mountain range was sold for more than a thousand golden taels which meant that the magistrate could at least pocket a hundred golden taels in between there was no way he was going to stop Lin Yu from buying the mountain range.      

But the villagers who thought that they have made a loss did not stop crying causing Village head Lu to feel a headache coming.     

" All right, stop crying!"  Village head Lu told the villagers while rubbing his forehead. "There is no need for you all to make such a ruckus! Even if the Lin brothers brought the mountains, they brought it with their own money why are you crying like they stole it from your family?"      

" But...But that hot springs should have been used by all of us village heads!" One of the villagers cried which made Village head Lu sneer as he said, " Use your brain, the vein was found deep in the forest, do you think you could have ever found it? There is an old saying which says—- finders keepers,  Lin Yu was the one who found it and he paid for it in golden taels, if you can do the same then I will let you fight for it!"      

" And it is not as if, the Lin family will not let you take some small advantages if they develop this village for their resort… I m sure they will allow you all to earn a little here and there as well!"      

The villagers were not willing to give up but they had no choice but to do so which was why they all turned to look at each other and sighed.      

The people who finally stomach this loss returned home but then before they could settle down, another piece of news broke out and this piece of news was even more surprising!      

The Lin family was selling off all their lands, they even sent their daughter earlier to her in-laws just because they were moving away and when someone asked them what was going on they simply refused to say anything and instead said that they were willing to sell their lands at the market price as long as they were willing to buy.     

The same news broke out in the Su village which surprised everyone who watched Su Bai pack his things up.      

When Su Wan heard the news from her fifth husband, she was more than happy. Now with these troublemakers gone, she will be able to rest with ease and would not have to worry about anything.      

These two families will go to the capital now and will cause havoc there and that predecessor of hers will be too busy dealing with her own family than to worry about her!      

Ahaha!     

If she could she would have already set off firecrackers to celebrate!      

" But we still dont know when they will be going to the capital," said Lin Yu as he drank the sugar honey water to quench his thirst he sat down on the stone stool with Lin Rui while Lin Chen was lying on the big cot under the shade of the tree while the evening sun went down.      

" I believe they will wish to leave as soon as possible," Su Wan munched on her orange as she licked her fingers causing the three men's eyes to darken. " They always want to fight with us and with Old Madam Lin's desire to prove that she is better than us and make sure that her grandson gets the best of both worlds, she will move to the capital before anyone can make trouble, it's still fascinating for me that your cousin willingly married off so easily."      

" She almost did not," Aunt Zhang who was cleaning the big offals for dinner sighed when she remembered the ruckus that her daughter caused when she was married off and her husband's family came to take her. Her daughter almost called off the wedding and it was only when she told her that it was one of Su Wan's plans to deal with her husband and ex-mother in law, did her daughter stop causing a fuss.      

If not she would have stopped the wedding at all cost and would have refused to even sit on the palanquin.      

" She wanted to go with her father, it was only when I told her half the truth did that girl stop making a fuss…" Aunt Zhang did not care about her son upon whom she had given up all hope but her daughter still had some good qualities left in her at least she was willing to listen to her. " I hope you will not mind, Wan Wan."
