<h4>Chapter 172 - [Bonus ]life Was Good</h4>


    Lin Rui understood that Su Wan was showing her care for him and smiled a little helplessly "


    Alright , I won''t trouble you now Wan Wan . But really your idea was really good ! At this time most people have just nted in their seeds but our vegetable field is ready to be harvested and sold ! Once we take these vegetables in the town those rich missies and masters will buy them in a breath !"


    In this period there were no greenhouses and the people here didn''t know better techniques . The rich masters and madams in the capital? though had their own hot springs and could use them to nt vegetables in winter . However , finding a natural geothermal in small vige like Dong Tong was a real stroke of luck ! This was why it was near to impossible for anyone to nt vegetables in the winter and sell them .


    Su Wan smiled and nodded " that''s right , this time we are going to make a big fortune " then she motioned Lin Jing toe over and help her while she pushed Lin Rui to go back and continue studying . Together Su Wan and Lin Jing started harvesting vegetables , because they were working together it didn''t take long for them to carefully dig out the greens . Then they took the vegetables and brought them to the courtyard where they started washing them all one by one , Su Wan took the vegetables from Lin Jing as thetter insisted that she shouldn''t spend long time in cold water , thus she had no choice but to take the vegetables from Lin Jing,? dry them before carefully stocking them in a bamboo basket .


    The green lettuce and bok choy looked extremely delicious with water droplets dripping down them . It looked so fresh and juicy that Su Wan had to swallow her saliva - from the past few days she has been eating nothing but meat , mushrooms and radishes - though the vige people liked having meat in their meal and considered it as a sign of good times . Su Wan has? really started to miss? the freshness of leafy vegetables after gnawing on fatty meat for months .


    " I think we should have some Buddha''s delight tonight " said Su Wan , she could use some of her own home grown bok choy , napa cabbage and snow peas . These were her own home grown vegetables weren''t they ? So it didn''t matter if she smuggled a small stock for herself and cooked some delicious food for herself and her family . And because Lin Chen liked to eat meat but she could buy some pork while returning from the town , and there were the fish in the kitchen left from morning .


    She could prepare so many good dishes ! Just the thought of this was enough to make her drool with anticipation .


    " Buddha ''s delight ?" said Mother Lin surprised she exchanged a look with her eldest son and sounded a little hesitant. She knew that Su Wan woulde with new dishes with the least amount of ingredients ,however Mother Lin was a little hesitant because one look at the juicy vegetables and she knew that they could earn a lot of money from it .


    Not only these vegetables were unique because they were being sold in the winter , they looked so lush and delicious that Mother Lin knew that they would fetch a good price .


    Lin Jing was aware of his mother''s thoughts and he too felt that it was regrettable to keep a batch of such good vegetables at home but he also knew that Su Wan was the one who came up with this idea of growing vegetables - and he also didn''t want to upset his wife . So he thought about it and carefully spoke in a manner so that neither Su Wan or his mother would get offended " mother , we are working from dawn to dusk so that we can eat well aren''t we ? And there is also the money from the restaurant its not like that we don''t have any other earning except these vegetables , right ? We can afford to indulge a little and Wan Wan won''t be taking arge stock right Wan Wan ?" He hurriedly asked Su Wan who was both amused and shocked - this was the first time she heard Lin Jing speak so many words .


    Su Wan wasn''t the only one amused mother Lin was amused , she looked at her son with an incredibly cute frown and said " you child , you won''t say a word when your mother wants to talk to you but the second your wife is concerned , you said so many words - alright , alright , your mother is a money grubber ?" However after hearing what her son said Mother Lin came to a realisation that after fighting for every single penny and saving every single cent from eating cornbread to rice gruel - She has gotten used to saving in everything . Her son''s words were right they are working so hard because they want to have afortable life , where they can sleep with a full stomach and be warm in the winter - if she started to haggle at every inch then how will her children have a good life ?


    Lin Jing hearing his mother''s words had a speechless expression - what? wrong did he do ? Didn''t he speak in the most tactful and careful manner ? Howe his mother was still offended calling herself a money grubber? ?


    Su Wan and Lin Rui stared at Lin Jing ''s dumbfounded and helpless expression , the two of them exchanged a nce with each other and then burst out in giggles . Even mother Lin who was staring at her son chuckled , leaving Lin Jing even more bemused - but a little whileter , he shook his head andughed as well .


    Su Wan who was giggling , looked around at Lin Jing who wasughing and Lin Rui who was chuckling with Mother Lin ,and all of a sudden a thought came in her mind - life was really good .Wasn''t it ?
