Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 967: How dare you get in the path of an official

Qi Shuyan was also angry. He looked at the Farm Keeper and then said to him, "You can pack up your bags, I will deal with your salary. You have an hour to do so!"

When the Farm keeper saw that things were turning serious, his expression changed and so did the people who were the Farm keeper's followers. They couldn't help but glare at the Farm keeper, things were escalating in a completely different direction from what the Farm keeper said to them.

The Farm keeper was flustered. He immediately knelt in front of Lin Jing, "Master Jing, Master Chen, please forgive us. Don't fire us, if you fire us what will happen to our families and children? We will die without your help. Our lives are already bitter and difficult, if you throw us out now, what are we supposed to do?"

The followers of the Farm keeper also knelt and begged. They no longer questioned Su Wan about the employment of Qi Shuyan. Since she wanted then she could let this man take over the farm. At most, they would have to continue with their actions a bit sneakily.

But they cannot be pushed out of this farm! If they left then everything would be gone!

Lin Jing and Lin Chen were surrounded by the workers, they looked at one another and did not know what to do. Should they use force? But the workers haven't done anything that would justify them using force!

Su Wan however could see the thoughts in the eyes of the workers. She sighed and shook her head, who would have thought that in just a few months these people who were honest to bones would go through such a change?

She felt regretful. If she had known that these people would forget her grace so easily, Su Wan would have kept a much tighter leash on them. However, it was too late. These people were now corrupted to bones, if she kept them then they would only look for a way to continue with their illegal and corrupt activities.

Since this was the case then she needed to send them packing.

Su Wan did not bother to talk with these people. She turned to look at Qi Shuyan and said to him, "Go and bring the Yamen officers, tell them that I, the magistrate am calling them. Make sure that they come as soon as possible."

"Yes, sister-in-law," Qi Shuyan glared at the ungrateful people and then ran out of the farm. He was really angry, the reason these people could live such a comfortable life and could eat three meals a day was because Su Wan gave them a job. Yet they dared to look down on her? Who gave them the confidence to do so!?

The Farm keeper and the rest of the workers watched Qi Shuyan run out of the farm. They realized that the situation had turned really serious and panicked.

They started pleading with Su Wan but the latter did not even pay attention to them. Soon, Qi Shuyan returned with Yamen officers.

Now that Su Wan had turned the conditions of the Ocean City, everyone in the official position respected her. The second they heard that someone was causing trouble for Su Wan, the yamen officers came running. They came to a stop next to Su Wan and the leader of the officers questioned,

"Magistrate Su, are these people the ones who are causing trouble for you?"

Su Wan nodded and stated in a quiet voice, "Please take care of them, I need to arrange for other workers." She then glanced at the Farm keeper and the rest before saying, "If I can train a Batch then I can train another one as well. It's not a big deal for me, as everyone is replaceable on this farm."

She then turned to walk away. While the Yamen officers turned to look at the Farm keeper their leader shouted at them, "Those who dare to resist, they will be killed without mercy! Follow us!"

The Farm keeper and the workers finally realized that they had gone too far. Their faces turned pale as they slumped on the ground.

They all trembled in fright.

They had never seen a sight as terrible as this one and were really scared. The Farm keeper wanted to resist, but were the Yamen officers someone who could be suppressed by the commoners? The second the Farm Keeper tried to make a fuss he was restrained on the ground in a jiffy.

The Farm keeper who was lying on the ground realized that he had hit an iron plate this time. The difference between the officials and the commoner was cleared in an instant in front of him.

His heart turned cold and he for the first time realized that he had made a mistake by going against Su Wan and the Lin brothers. Just because they did not show off their authority as they were too kind. It did not change the fact that they were nobles.

"I...I was wrong. Please forgive me, I will not do it again…" Farmkeeper Zhu immediately rushed in front of Su Wan and knelt in front of her. He was afraid that his life would be in danger if he was a step slow.

Commander Lei had seen all kinds of people when he saw that the Farm keeper was stopping Su Wan from leaving he knew that the man was pretending to be pitiful. After all, if he was such a good man, he wouldn't have angered Su Wan who did not get angry at anyone for no reason.

He glared at the man and scolded him, "You are bold. You dared to get in the path of an official? Are you bored with your life is that it?"

The Farm keeper shivered upon hearing the words of Commander Lei. His face turned pale as he shook his hands in denial. "Of course…of course not. I don't dare to do such a terrible thing." He turned to look at Lin Jing and then begged him, "Master Jing, you are a kind master. You will forgive me right?"

Even though he did not say it outright, he was calling Su Wan cruel. When Su Wan heard his words, she was amused but she did not say anything and simply watched Lin Jing handle this matter.

Lin Jing was indeed a kind man but that was until his wife and family were not involved. As long as someone dared to speak ill of his family or his wife, he would not let them have it easy.

"I already told you, this farm is the one that belongs to my wife and no one else. As long as she says that you are fired, you are fired. Her decision is what I and everyone else in the family follow."

"Not only the Lin family but even the county magistrate's officials follow Madam Su's orders, who are you to defy her?" Commander Lei questioned the man with an angry look on his face. He could not believe that this man had offended Madam Su. Did he not know that in the Big Ocean City, anyone could be offended but not Madam Su?

"But she is just a woman!" The Farm keeper was speechless. He couldn't believe that he was being treated like this just because of a woman.

"So what if she is a woman? Don't forget that she did something that no man could ever do for this land," Commander Lei could not help but scold the man for his narrow vision. He had not seen the world and yet he acted as if he was better than the rest.

"The vegetables that you eat and the meat that you enjoy, did they pop out of nowhere? It was Madam Su who raised the livestock in this place and even grew vegetables in the barren land!" Commander Lei and the rest of the Yamen officers were Su Wan's greatest fans. They would never let someone as trashy as the Farm keeper insult her.

The meat, fish and many other things that they enjoyed were all thanks to Su Wan and her creative mind.

"County Magistrate Su is not an ordinary woman, she is someone who is way beyond the understanding of people like you. So how could worldly rules tie her up?"

Su Wan was extremely creative, bold and courageous. She dared to take the risk even when everyone said that she was making a mistake. It made her a weird person as even a man would think twice before charging ahead with the plans that she had in her mind but Su Wan was different. She dared to do anything.

A woman who was ruthless with herself, how could she be morally kidnapped by someone who tried to throw mud in her eyes and betrayed her? It would be a miracle if that happened!
