"Please have this tea," Madam Han said to Su Wan as she offered her a cup of the best tea in her house. She wanted to serve something better to Su Wan but there was nothing in the house. Their financial condition also did not allow them to purchase expensive tea.
Su Wan nodded as she took the teacup from Madam Han. Earlier she had asked Madam Han not to serve anything as she did not want to put any sort of burden on the Han family but as the Han family was once an official family, it was impossible for them to ignore the etiquette.
What was more, Madam Han stayed on her knees the entire time, she did not even raise her head in front of Su Wan. What could she do? Even if she was old enough to be Su Wan's mother, she needed to lower her head in front of Su Wan.
Though the young ones bowed to the elders, the ones who were in a weaker position needed to remember their positions as well.
Su Wan also did not stop Madam Han because she knew that when someone was too nice others thought it was fine to ride on top of their heads. It was better to create a fine line between what could never be done and what could be done from the start.
It was even more important since she was a woman official upon whom everyone looked down.
She looked at Han Fu and then pushed the contract in front of him that she had brought along with her. Su Wan said, "This is a working contract. It includes all the terms and conditions of your working period. Firstly, I would like it if you and your family moved into the empty courtyard in my house, as the news of you working for me and my family will soon be spread in the town.
I do not want anyone to harm you, Master Han. That will be more loss on my part than on yours."
'But then again if they were not special I wouldn't have stayed with them,' Su Wan thought while taking a sip of tea. She then turned to look at Han Yijin who flinched and then looked away.
He seemed to be worried about Su Wan getting angry at him as he was also aware of the fact that he was quite rude to Su Wan just now.
'Well it seems like he is not an entirely lost cause,' Su Wan would have thought twice if Han Yijin was someone like her ex-husband who thought that he was better than her just because he was a man.
Men like her ex-husband were sure to backstab as they wanted to earn great profits at the smallest expense. If Han Yijin was the same kind of person, Su Wan might have taken the offer back.
She then smiled at the young man and questioned, "So you mean to say that anyone can grow soilless vegetables?"
