Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 968: Drag the troublemakers out

Su Wan was not a ruthless woman, however, if someone were to touch her bottom line, she would definitely attack and make the person suffer. No one was allowed to attack her family or team. In fact, even the elders of her family did not dare to morally kidnap her. So how dare this small Farm Keeper try to do something that even the elders of the Lin and the Su family did not dare to do?

Even the Lai family did not dare to go against her, and even when they tried to make a move, Su Wan did not blink an eye. Compared to the Lai family, this small farmkeeper was nothing at all!

She was the county magistrate, who had everything and everyone in control. To facilitate and make everything convenient for her, she had made sure that no one would be able to implicate her and her business in any sort of illegal activity.

For the sake of making sure that this city would function without any troubles, she had taught and cultivated many talents. Su Wan had created warriors who would fight for her, not against her.

Of course in the eyes of others, she was not a good wife and mother as she lacked three obedience and four virtues. But so what? Su Wan had her own set of rules for dealing with others. She was soft yet decisive. Cruel but compassionate.

If others did not like it then they could move to the side. Su Wan was not here to open a charity shop where anyone could come and dance on her head.

Was she selfish? She was. She did everything for herself and her family. Everything she had done for this city was closely tied to her self-interests!

However, who could blame her? This was the kind of person Su Wan was, if someone was kind to her, she would certainly repay that person but if someone dared to go against her then they would have to pay for that as well.

This was the reason why everyone was willing to follow Su Wan.

She was a master but she was not a tyrant.

The Farm Keeper now regretted it. He immediately went on his knees and begged, "County Magistrate Su, please look at our hard work and the help that we have given to this farm. Please spare us this one time. I dare not do this again."

Su Wan smiled at his words. Help? Hard work? Wasn't it only right to work hard when he was being paid in money and meals? Even the clothes that he was wearing were given to him by her.

How dare this man take credit for something that he was paid for?

Even now he did not realize what mistake he had committed. She narrowed her eyes and turned to look at the crowd behind her, "I will hand you people two options. First, I will send everyone who caused trouble for me to the yamen, I have enough of despicable troublemakers and cannot be bothered to deal with you guys. Or, You can confess who asked you to rebel like this.

If you tell me the truth then I will only deal with the one who is the cause of this silly rebellion and spare you."

As soon as these words came out the unity of the group shattered. The air in the farm changed and everyone turned to look at one another.

Soon one of the members of the group spoke up, "We did not want to rebel but the Farm Keeper kept our salaries, he refused to hand them to us and asked us to follow him. He promised to give us more than we earn, we could only listen to him."

"Yes, Yes!" Another worker nodded as he agreed with the man who spoke up. "The Farm Keeper refused to let us have our salaries even when we asked him to hand our money, he threatened us by saying that he would fire us as he had the power in this farm."

"He along with his two sons threatened us. They asked us to follow their leads or they would throw us out of the farm, we had no choice other than following their lead."

Lin Jing seemed to have understood something. He looked around and questioned, "Where are the two sons of the Farm Keeper?"

They noticed that the Farm Keeper was making quite a lot of ruckus but his sons were not present in the crowd.

Sure enough, these words jolted the crowd and then they looked around the farm, their expressions turned ugly as they realized that the two sons of the Farm Keeper were not in the crowd. In fact, they were not even present at the moment.

What was going on?

Su Wan on the other hand turned to look at the Farm Keeper and questioned, "Did you ask your sons to escape? Such that the ones who would be noticed by me and my Husbands would be you and these people? Even if I fire you, your sons will be fine. Is that what's going on here?"

The Farm Keeper went stiff for a second. His face turned pale as he shook his head, "No…No.. my eldest son ended up breaking his leg and my youngest is looking after him,"

"Broke his legs?" Su Wan sneered.

She had seen the sons of the Farm Keeper and knew very well that those two men were not only strong but also cowardly, how could they do anything that would lead their legs to be broken? Most probably they pushed their father out to take the burn of the situation.

Such ruthless men, she dared not keep!

She turned to look at the crowd and stated, "Did you all hear that? You all were used as human shields. While you all keep causing trouble in front of me, someone else is waiting to take over. Most likely they want to fill your positions by handing it to someone else."

"You are fortunate that I am a rational woman and do not jump to conclusions. Or else you all would have been fired and even if the Farm Keeper was fired alongside you all…his sons are not present which means that they would have most likely taken his position. As they are innocent."

"However, I am a wise woman. And I will not carry out any injustice to any person. You all were plotted and I will hand you justice. To be used as a shield…this is simply inhuman and to let their father take the fall, it's simply unfilial."

Su Wan curled her lips and stated, "Bring the sons of the Farm Keeper. I want to see what are their reasons for leading this rebellion and causing trouble for me and my family. As long as you bring them out, I will let you keep your jobs. If not then you cannot blame me, for it was you who were foolish enough to believe such people."

These two men were the ones who were responsible for this mess. If they were left unpunished, who would be afraid of making mistakes and causing trouble? There would be endless trouble and if she wanted to avoid that, then she needed to nip this bud before it bloomed.
