Shrewd wife of Lin brothers

Chapter 674: Sleep on the streets

Only then did Su Wan simmer down a little, she was actually a little angry with Lin Jing, she asked him to refuse a few orders but he was won over by the fake tears of those old men who clamoured that they will beat their sons once they were back home. What was the meaning of putting on a show like that? If you want to beat then beat, what was the point of making such a loud ruckus, fortunately, she stopped Lin Jing or else the number of orders would have increased to an inhuman level. Impossible to finish.          

    

” Very well then I will go and bring a few slaves who know how to carve wood tomorrow,” Lin Yan said as he gently smiled at his brother who looked a bit stifled and worried, he knew that his brother was a little worried about their products being replaced but the thing was even if they try their best to hide their products somehow other shops will copy their ideas, so it was better to just earn as much as they could and make sure that no one was able to replace their authenticity.      

” Eldest brother, there is no need for you to worry about these things so much, even if you personally carve out each and every piece someone will be skilled enough to copy them, it’s better to make sure that you just keep bringing new things every once in a while. I was like that too,  I was worried that others will copy the dishes of our restaurant and they did but even then they weren’t able to get as much business as me because the customers knew that I was known for my authenticity and what more I introduced a new dish every week, the other restaurants were two or three weeks late and the novelty of that dish would get old by then, and your products are even more difficult to copy, it will take some time for others to copy make sure that you use this time to sprint as hard as you can.”      

Lin Chen nodded as he smacked the mop in the bucket and said, ” That’s right, many shops are trying to imitate the scents that I introduced months ago but the thing is that it has gone old by now. Even if they succeeded to make the same scent, they don’t get much business, it’s only when they put a discount or something that they get business and when they do something like that I introduce new products, honestly, it’s fun watching them grind their teeth in anger.”      

With that everyone turned to look at Lin Yu who raised his head from the ledger and flushed slightly, ” I don’t like antagonising them but sometimes they are too much, they stole one of my seamstresses and then started to replicate my first hanfu’s style, I had no other choice but to retaliate, anyway what second brother said is right, a copycat will always be a copy cat and nothing more.”      

Lin Jing listened to his brothers and his worries lessened slightly as he looked at Su Wan who was yawning and said, ” I understand I will try to hire more people and lessen my workload, so Wan Wan can you go back home? I promise that I will come back after I finish work——”     

Su Wan frowned as she looked at Lin Yan and Lin Yu as she said, ” Bring him with you, I am worried that he is simply trying to cajole me.”      

” Don’t worry Wan Wan,” said Lin Yan with a smile as he patted her shoulder taking his time off from wiping the window pane. ” We will bring eldest brother home on time.”      

” Will drag him back home if the situation calls for it, can’t make you upset,” said Lin Yu from the small chair and table in which he was sitting while looking at the ledger. His hands moving nonstop.      

Listening to their promises, Su Wan’s mind eased a little, it wasn’t that she wasn’t willing to trust Lin Jing but it was just that after she gave him the idea, his workaholic side came into existence all of a sudden. He didn’t eat or sleep properly anymore, if anything he will work day to night and then go back to bed only when she asked someone from the house to drag him to his courtyard, even then she was sure that she could hear the sounds of the hammer hitting the nails.      

She was a little flustered, if she knew that Lin Jing was such a workaholic, she would have refrained from giving him so many ideas.      

” Very well, I will believe you two, since you have promised me, make sure to come home as soon as you can,” she then turned to look at Lin Jing and narrowed her eyes as she said, ” If you don’t come home in an hour, you can sleep on the streets tonight.”      

“Wan Wan——”     

She didn’t give him a chance to say anything, she knew that if she listened to him, he will make sure that she gave him a leeway—— she was done giving him leeways! “Let’s go Ah Chen.” With a twist of her hips, she sashayed out of the shop.      

Lin Chen watched her go and then turned to look at his brother as he said, ” Eldest brother make sure to come back home on time, I don’t think that wife was lying when she said that she will make you sleep on the streets.  I mean you are no longer an unknown man, you are the big boss of this shop, would it look nice if people see you sleeping on the streets like a homeless man? It will be so embarrassing.”      

The only response he got was a flying rag thrown at his face.      

Lin Chen caught the rag and threw it back at Lin Jing as he said, ” What? I was obviously saying the truth. Don’t you think it’s quite embarrassing to have your wife kick you out on the streets?”      

” Ah Chen you come here, you brat, I will set you right tonight,” as Lin Jing said that, he tried to climb over the counter, in his anger he forgot that he could walk through the counter’s small door that opened with a click of the latch. ” Dare to tease your eldest brother!”      

” What’s that? Oh, wife are you calling me for me?” With that, Lin Chen rushed out of the shop.
