Chapter 42 - Study Hard And Become An Official

" Wa..n Wa..n don't wo..worry , we will tre..treat you real.really well. Do..Don't be an..angry " Once Su Wan was done checking out the embroidery shop , she checked on the make up shop as well . At first she wanted to buy some essential oils for making soaps first but just like the embroidery shop , the Su family had already looted away that shop as well 

. Except for some poor quality rogue and face powder nothing was left , Su Wan who was already angry finally flew up into a rage and fired the manager who curry favoured with Chen Yanyu and Su Lan and promoted a sharp minded and quick witted Woman named Ye Xiaoli as the make up shop manager.

The Lin brothers especially Lin Yan were really worried that Su Wan would get angry at their lack of capabilities and leave them . The Su family was really shameless , they actually looked down on their Lin family so much that they dared to bully their wife after she got married in their house , if this wasn't looking down on them what was ? 

Lin Jing and the others were ashamed , they couldn't even protect their wife . Nor could they earn enough money to pamper her , Even after getting married in their family Su Wan has to go out of the house and manage things on her own . 

" Why will I be angry at you ?" asked Su Wan frowning as she glanced at Lin Yu " its not like you egged on the Su family to loot the drowry shops of a married daughter ? why will I be angry ?" 

" Isn't it because we are useless ? That the Su family looks down at us " said Lin Rui with a mocking smile " Our family  don't  have  much money  and neither of us have  a respectable  job , that's  why the Su family  believe  that its  fine for them  to bully you like this " 

Su Wan scowled  then she turned around  with her hands on her  hips and pointed at Lin Rui with an angry face " Don't  you dare to mock yourself like that ever again  ! You are my husbands  , if you look down on yourselves like this then who am I supposed  to look at ? To me you all exceptionally  talented  and smart  , its not your fault that the Su family  dared to bully me like this , its  my own fault ! Because I let them bully me for  years in the name of filial respect  . If I'm  getting bullied its because I'm  weak ! It has nothing  to do with  either of you and if you still think that  its your fault  that I'm  being bullied  then you better start  working hard . " 

Su Wan  never once  thought that it was her husbands fault that she got bullied so badly  even  after getting  married . The previous owner had acted mute for years , even when she knew that her family members were eating and dressing  up well  because of the income from  her  mother's dowry shops. The previous  Su Wan  remained silent and suffered under the Su family  because of the so called filial  peity  . Even if she rebelled  against the Su family  a day before she got married , the impression left by the previous owner  was hard  to forget , maybe the Su family  thought  that it was a one time  tantrum that she threw  after knowing that they were marrying her off as a shared  wife and soon once her temper simmered  down , she  will back to the previous Su Wan who suffered the injustice with her mouth zipped close  . 

Hehe ; if it  was the previous owner  maybe she would really suffer like  she did previously but too bad for the Su family  , that she wasn't  the previous  Su Wan! 

" And stop worrying about  me " said Su Wan  as she glanced at her  husbands  " I'm  not angry because they snatched away a few things and bullied me , I'm  angry because we lost our money but never mind , if we lost it , we lost it . Its fine , its  not like  my husbands  aren't  capable  of earning  back that money " 

" that's  right " said Lin Yan his eyes that were brimming  with guilt and shame finally brightened " If we lost some money this month , we all need to work harder and earn it back by next month ! "

Only then he will become a capable husband  ! 

" Y..yes we..we. will ea..earn even mor..more " said Lin Yu as he clenched  his fists  tightly  in determination  .

" I will work hard too " said Lin Jing as he touched the pouch that was carrying  the seeds packet , he swore that he won't  waste even a single  seed and successfully  grow these crops ! Once these green vegetables sprouted no one will  be stop  their road to success .

" Me too " said Lin Rui smiled and nodded  at Su Wan 

" you need to focus on your studies  " said Su Wan  when she listened  that Lin Rui wanted to help out  in the shops and farm lands . In her eyes if Lin Rui  started  helping around in the shops then he will be wasting away his talent .

" Studies ? But we don't  have money " said Lin Rui blinking with  a helpless expression  decorated, he too wanted to study hard and become and official but his family  had no money ! Even  the cheapest  school in the town charged  a few taels of silver . How can Lin Rui be selfish enough  to spend  so much money  on his studies  when that money could be used to bring his mother's  medicine and their necessary  needs. 

" if we don't  have money we will earn it " Su Wan  was  confident , even if she couldn't  become  one of the richest  woman in the town . She was certain that she could atleast earn a decent amount  of  money for her family to lead a comfortable  life " In our family except  you no one else have the talents to become a Xiaocai or even a Tongsheng , much  less an official . If you give up on your studies  now , its possible that you will regret  it in the future " pausing  Su Wan  licked her dry lips and continued " And if  our family  has an official  we won't have to be afraid about getting  bullied " 

She obviously  meant Lin Che when  she said that; even though  Lin Che wasn't  smart that didn't  mean that he will never become an official . Continuous  failure was  the road of success  even if he failed  today and tomorrow  , there  will be a time when Lin  Che would get used to the exam pattern and pass the exams. Even if he doesn't become  an official , even a Title of Xiaocai was  enough  for him to bully them .

" Wan Wan is right" Lin Yan agreed " We can't  let anyone bully us in the future , Ah Rui you work hard in your studies  leave the problem of earning  money to your big brothers . If we can support that useless Trash Lin Che, we can  support you too !" 

" Study . Good "  even Lin Jing agreed with  Su Wan  and Lin Yan 's suggestion  .

" Ye..yes brother  you ..you. con..continue with yo..your stu..studies " Lin Yu too was supportive of his fourth  brother continuing his studying  , he had seen that ever  since he was a child , the village  kids respected  that idiot Lin Che just because he was  a scholar in training . Lin Yu  knew that his brother  was smarter than Lin Che , if only Grandma Lin  didn't  stop his brother from going to  school. His brother  would be a Xiaocai  by now ! 

Seeing that his family persisted in asking him to continue his studies  . Lin Rui could no longer  refuse  their kindness and he nodded , instead his eyes  turned red if he wasn't  afraid about  brawling in the middle  ofthe  street, he would  have hugged his family and cried like a baby . Only Lin Rui knew how heartbroken  he was when Grandma Lin  refused  to let him go to school , becoming an official was Lin Rui's dream and studying  was his passion  . When Grandma Lin stopped him from going to school , she didn't only barred his path as an official , she broke his heart  and stomped on his dreams !
