<h4>Chapter 103 - Not Bothered</h4>
There was no such thing as secrets in a house even though Su Bai wanted to hide the fact that he wasn''t able to get the money from Su Wan , he couldn''t hide it for long from Chu Yin whose eyes have be so sharp after constant monitoring of Su Wan so as to detect oil stains on her lips in case she ate the meat while she cooked in the kitchen . So , with just one look of her husband''s face , Chu Yin understood that Su Bai failed to get the money instead it was highly possible he was embarrassed and humiliated by Su Wan when he went to get the money from her .
Even though a towering rage was built in Chu Yin ''s heart ever since Su Wan''s wedding day , she was smart enough not tosh out on Su Bai who was already in a foul mood , instead she went to Su Lan ''s room and finally let go of her fury " your father and grandmother are really stupid , did they really think that once those deeds go into that little bitch '' s hands she will still let our family leech off her dowry ? This was exactly the reason why I didn''t want to bring the deeds - if only your grandmother suffered a little more pain , we could have thrown that bastard out without a penny ! It wasn''t like she would really have killed your grandmother , will she ? I don''t think that a person can change so much after starving just for a couple of days , its just your grandmother who is too much of a coward "
It never bothered Chu Yin that she had actually starved Su Wan until thetter was forced to die.? She didn''t even find Old Grandma Su''s flesh getting skinned painful , in her opinion if a little bit of skinned flesh actually helped them keep the deeds with them , then Grandma Su should have kept her mouth shut and suffered a little .
With a dark face , Su Lan mmed the cloth she was embroidering on the bed , currently the? money at home was tight and apart from the clothes that she was able to get from Shan Shui shop , she had no new clothes - angry and frustrated at theck of fashionable clothes , Su Lan had to go back to embroidering on her clothes - it was easy to go from poverty to riches but difficult to return to poverty after riches , Su Lan was finding it harder and harder to embroider in fact she wasn''t even used to embroidery , if she wanted new clothes she would just swagger to the Shan? Shui shop and order Madam Cheng to embroider it for her but with the shop returning back in Su Wan''s hands it would be surprising if Madam Cheng agrees to embroider clothes for her " mother why didn''t you change the name on the deeds from Su Wan to mine ? You said those shops will belong to me when I get married , what now ?"
" what do you know ?" Poking Su Lan on the forehead , Chu Yin shook her head " your father tried to change the name on the deeds but the deeds were stamped by the Shen family ''s seal as Shen Shui was uneducated - if your father went to change the name he would have to get the Shen family stamp " not that Su Bai didn''t try , he did try to cajole Shen Shui into giving the shops to him but Shen Shui ''s brothers were no fools even though their sister married Su Bai , they never had a good impression of him , the second they got wind of the fact that Shen Shui wanted to give Su Bai her dowry shops , they threatened Su Bai so badly that it took him a month to walk straight .
" Now what ? I don''t want to live a poor life mother ! Without those shops how will I marry an official in town ?" Su Lan dreamed of a happy married life in the town she didn''t want to be a vige girl forever , she was banking on the fact that she will get Su Wan''s shops as her dowry so she wasn''t worried that she won''t get a man to be married in the town but now she was - without those shops she was nothing ( at least you know your worth )
Chu Yin was worried as well , they did have a lot of farming fields but Su Wan was the only one who worked in those fields without her they couldn''t harvest this season crops - Chu Yin was already worried about the fields but now that Su Lan had brought up her marriage she was getting even more worried .
The Su family were worried but Su Wan wasn''t worried at all , she was happily enjoying the twice cooked pork and rice that Lin Yan just cooked - after Su Bai was gone , Su Wan and Lin Yan started on their work like no interruption? happened at all - Lin Yan went to the kitchen and cooked while Su Wan sat on the table where Little Shi chopped vegetables and kept fresh meat . She didn''t look at all bothered as she happily chewed on her pork meat .
"do you like the meal so much ?" asked Lin Yan he was already used to Su Wan dropping and picking up new faces like she was changing clothes - he wasn''t surprised but Little Shi who was chopping vegetables - was indeed surprised , a few minutes ago he was filled with rightful indignation on behalf of his missy but now he was so shocked to see her wolf down the warm food without even looking up .
" Of course , how long do you think I walked around the town ?" Said Su Wan in a righteous voice " and all that energy that I just wasted scolding that dead beat father of mine , so of course I need to replenish my energy "
''yeah sure just say it if you are hungry why make yourself sound so virtuous and decent ,'' said Lin Yan in his head , Su Wan could feel that the guy was inwardly scolding her but in exchange of his good meal - she decided to graciously forgive him .
" Say Yan why don''t we hire some bodyguards for the other shops as well " finally eaten her fill , Su Wan said as she watched Lin Yan who was tossing and stirring the meat with his sleeves rolled to his elbows , ah so dashing , someone said it right - a seriously working man was really a feast to eyes especially when he was already so handsome .
" for the others shop?" Said Lin Yan ting the rice and twice cooked pork in two dishes
" yes " nodding Su Wan pouted her lips when those sleeves rolled down again " the others shops might not be doing good but they will in a few days or months - with Yu ''s and Madam Cheng''s speedbined I don''t think that it will take long for them to finish the dresses and I already have a few ideas for the makeup shop as well "
Su Wan had already learned her lesson, The Su family was so shameless - if she didn''t take necessary precautions ahead of time , they might actually sell her shops without her knowing ! Aiye !
