Soon a month passed and it was time for Yu Qun to bring the ount book of the books that Su Wan had given to him to sell at his publishing house. The entire Lin family was excited to see what kind of sales the books that Su Wan hade up with made. Because of this, they all did not go to work instead they waited for Yu Qun to arrive at their house with the ount tally.


    " Where is he? Is he going toe or not?" Lin Chen who was pacing in the living hall could not help but question as he peered out of the door. He wanted to see the sales of the books!


    Su Wan on the other hand was really calm, she took a sip of her tea and then remarked, " He might be a lot of things but he is not a liar. He said that he woulde then it means that he woulde to no matter what, anyway there hasn''t been a single person born who can eat my hard-earned money." Su Wan snickered.


    " But still it''s already afternoon, and he hasn''t been here, did something happen?" Lin Rui questioned worriedly. The books were indeed a bit coarse, what if Yu Qun was beaten up after he was done releasing those books? He had seen many of the schrs being condemned because they drew explicit images.


    Though Su Wan knew what happened she did not say anything instead she told her husbands to stay calm and not make a fuss. Yu Qun lived in the city and there was no way he would run away because of a few shares no matter howrge they were.


    Even if the priest tried to run away, the temple couldn''t run! His publishing house was well established in the Big Ocean City where would he go?


    Around one in the afternoon when Lin Chen was running out of patience Yu Qun finally appeared. However, when they saw him, it was as if they had seen a ghost. Yu Qun was not only thinner than he was before but he looked like he did not have a good night''s sleep for days.


    " I greet the county magistrate," Yu Qun lowered his head as he greeted Su Wan, he was looking at her as if she had done him a great personal wrong which made the Lin brothers frown. Why was Yu Qun looking at Su Wan like this? Was he really beaten up?


    When Lin Chen saw that Yu Qun was staring at Su Wan as if he wanted to cry, he could not help but ask, " What is the matter, Master Yu? Why are you looking at my wife like this? And what happened to you?"


    Lin Yan nced at the dark circles under Yu Qun''s eyes and asked, " Were you tormented by your readers?"


    " Or did the books not perform well?" Lin Chen asked worriedly. If the books did not perform well then what would happen to the mermaid aquarium that they had open?


    Lin Yu looked at his brother as if he was an idiot and then said, " Are you stupid, third brother? The books performed better than Su Wan nned which is why he is looking like this, do you think that if the performance of the books were bad his condition would be like this?"


    Lin Yu''s words hit Yu Qun''s sore nerve. The tears that he was holding back spilt out of his eyes and he cried, " Thats right the books perform exceptionally well. The readers even asked me to release new books as they were running out of stock, whether it was the children''s book or the adult one, both of them performed wonderfully.


    The children wanted me to bring out more mermaid books, but where was I supposed to get them? The same could be said for the adults!"


    He rubbed his eyes to wipe the tears that were on the verge of spilling and then looked at Su Wan before saying, " Tell me, County Magistrate Su. You knew that the books would perform this well right? You deliberately said those things to make me believe that they will not sell well."


    Su Wan rolled her eyes and then replied, " But I also told you that there was a chance that they might do well but you did not listen to me. What can I do if you do not listen to me?"


    Yu Qun wanted to say something more but he did not get a chance as Su Wan waved her hands and then said, " All right there is no need for you to cry like this, if you continue helping me then there will be more chances for you to earn money like this." She paused and then asked, " What is the profit?"


    Yu Qun''s heart which was burning with anxiety earlier calmed down a little when he heard Su Wan say that there were more chances for him to earn more money. He then sat down on the couch and pushed the three boxes that his servant brought with him in front of Su Wan along with the ount books before replying,


    " The entire month''s turnover was fifteen thousand taels which means that the share that belongs to Madam Su is twelve thousand taels, I have already deducted the shares that belonged to my publishing house and brought the rest," he patted the wooden box that was in front of him as Sy Wan checked the ount books.


    When the Lin family heard that the profit was twelve thousand taels they were stunned. They could earn so much money by selling just two manuscripts. How was that possible?


    Lin Yan turned to look at Yu Qun and asked, " Are you sure that there is no mistake?" How was it possible to earn so much money by selling books? If it was that easy then wouldn''t the schrs earn millions of taels in just a few months?
