Chapter 35 - Settle The Shops First Before You Go Frolicking

The next morning Su Wan  was all prepared to go to the mountains  with Lin Jing but Lin Yan this big fat mouthed party pooper  ruined all her plans at the breakfast  .

" What do you mean by going to the mountains  ?" demanded Lin Yan  who adamantly  looked away from Lin Jing 's swollen lips " We need to go to the town and take a look  at your  shops , where do you have the time to play in the mountains ?" 

'who says I'm  going  there to play  'grumbled Su Wan  inwardly  , in fact  she wanted to very much fight  with Lin Yan  right then and there but the pancakes  that Lin Yan cooked had scratched her throat !  Because  she was frolicking  with  Lin Jing till late at night ; she woke up a bit late compared to Lin Yan  who was up and about at five in the morning. 

Since she was a bit late in waking up Lin Yan was  the one who cooked the breakfast  .  At first Su Wan  thought  that with his cooking skills , Lin Yan wouldn't  have  done a bad job and  happily sat down to eat but what she forgot was that Lin Yan was the frugal king of frugals! 

Even though  they still had enough  amount of oil , eggs and white flour .  The guy actually scrimped  on oil and used the rough  coarse  flour , Su Wan  who took a huge  bite at once  went from happily smiling  to 'oh my god , my throat  , my tongue , my mouth huhuhu ' . But because  she didn't  want to make a ruckus  shw chewed  on her pancake taking ferocious  bites  out of it as if she was eating Lin Yan 's meat .

Breakfast  was such  an important  meal , upon it depended  her entire  day mood yet Lin Yan dare to ruin her breakfast  and in turn  ruined her mood .  If they really were in a bad situation  which called for the need to be thrifty  she wouldn't  have  said  a word but there was no need 

! 

There was so much eggs and white flour in their kitchen for who in the world this guy was saving it for ?  muttered  Su Wan  inwardly as she swallowed the rough pancakes down with  water , aye atleast give her salt water or some bone soup - she wasn't  so used to eating such durable food .

Her throat  oh my her throat  . With every  bite Su Wan  took , she cursed Lin Yan  and moaned in pain , she wished to cry but she couldn't  bring herself to cry just because of a bad  breakfast . In the end she settled with  glaring at Lin Yan  but when the guy didn't  look her way , she scowled  even more and swore in her heart that she will wake up early from  tomorrow until the day they get rich and this stupid husband  of her's  stopped  worrying  about  food and money .

Lin Yan  naturally caught her glare bur ignored her . He knew that Su Wan  was resentful  because of the breakfast  but Lin Yan didn't  dare  to say that he  actually cooked a decent breakfast  this morning because of her . When it was only him , his brothers and their mother he wouldn't  even use the slightest bit of oil .

If Su Wan  knew that he called this breakfast  decent  she would have  gotten  so angry that she might have ended up flipping the  table . 

" brother  is it necessary  to go so soon ?"  asked Lin Chen scratching his head  in confusion  " it won't  matter if Wan Wan went after a day or two ?" 

" what do you know !" snapped Lin Yan slapping the table  that trembled  ominously  . Everyone stopped  eating  at once and picked up their dishes in case it broke but the  table only shuddered  for a while and then stopped shaking , Lin Yan  also breathed a sigh of relief  , if the  table  broke it will become  really troublesome  to eat food . Not to mention  he would regret  it for days , he quickly calmed himself  and turned  to glare at Lin Chen who shrank his neck screaming injustice  in his head " Do you forgot the Old Su family also depends on those shops for their monthly  expenses  .  And the end of the month is coming soon , what if they  tried to smuggle  the money out of those shops ? If we delay this matter , the managers of those  shops won't  know that the owner of their shops have  changed  and continue giving money to the Old Su family , if that  happened  we won't  even have a ground to cry on ! " 

" But  Wan Wan is already  married to us surely the Su family  won't  rely on a married daughter's  dowry shops ?" said Lin  Chen frowing slightly 

" If you say it like that aren't  we separated  from the old chen family , didn't they still come to find trouble  with us yesterday ?" grumbled  Lin Yan as he ate his pancake  "  There is no one in the Su family  who knows how to make an earning ,  they were only able to buy all of their farmlands  and their house because  they had  Wan Wan's  mother's  shops . They might have given it up but without  smuggling  the money from those shops its possible they might find it too difficult  to swallow  their rice , and there is also Su Cheng , he is a studying in the town and that costs a lot of  money .  I don't  think the Su family will be able to resist  the temptation  , of course  they can live a decent  life  if they work hard but will  they ? Like its said its easy to go from frugal to rich but its hard to become frugal  after being rich " 

What Lin Yan said made sense but still  no one wanted to  upset Su Wan  so they all turned to look at her . 

Though Su Wan  hated Lin Yan 's straightforward  poisonous  tongue she knew what he said was correct  . The Su family was just a perfect copy of the Chen  family , it would be impossible  if the thought  of embezzling the money from her shops didn't  come in their minds .

Su Lan and her mother Chu Yanyu were greedy and they loved to eat the  finest polished rice and wear the trending  clothes but they were lazy to bones  and never worked  in the field . It was the original owner who alone worked  for months to plough the Su family's farming  fields . 

As for Grandma Su and the original owner's  father Su Bai  it was even more impossible for them  to work in the fields  .  They considered themselves as the landlords of the village  because  except  them no one else  owned twenty mus of lands. 

If Su Cheng wasn't  studying the Su family  could still  use the money they earn from selling  their  grains  to lead a humble  life but will Su family  be willing to live such a life ? Of course not ! 

Thus , Su Wan  agreed  with Lin Yan  's suggestion  and decided to settle  the matter once and for all " Ah Yan is right ; today we will go to the town  and settle the matter  of the shops  first " 

That was much more important  than taking a hike up the mountain ! She can't  let the Su family  snatch  a single  coin  from her hands  !
