Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers Chapter 675: Attempted kidnapping

Chapter 675: Attempted kidnapping

Su Wan didn't say anything to Lin Jing and left the store with Lin Chen, it was certainly a bit awkward for Lin Jing when he watched her leave but he had no choice either, he wanted to ask her to stay back and listen to what he has to say but he knew that she was angry. This evening she asked him not to agree with so many orders but this was his first time dealing with overly enthusiastic customers and he didn't know how to say no, especially to the ones who were elderly and acted like a stubborn little children.

"It's all right, the eldest brother," said Lin Yan as he took over the job of mopping the floor after Lin Chen left the store. " Once we are done, you can go and buy that special sweet and sour pickle that's being sold in the market, I heard it's really popular among the pregnant ladies."

" Or maybe you can try to decrease your workload, I know that you want to make up for the taels that we used up to buy that house but it took all of us almost an entire year to save that much money, it will be impossible for eldest brother to earn that much sum in just a few months," said Lin Yu from his table finally settling down the brush and picking up another ledger. " And it's not like you wasted that much savings on yourself, you bought the house for everyone to live in so certainly the entire responsibility of earning the money that was used up does not lay with you alone big brother, give yourself a break and stop overworking. You might have not noticed but you have gone a lot thinner ever since you started working in this shop … Wan Wan doesn't want to discourage you but you just don't know when to stop and just keep pushing yourself, no wonder she is angry at you."

Lin Yan looked at his brother in surprise before shaking his head. " Seriously, elder brother did you think that you were the one responsible for making up for the savings that we spent? The money was saved to be spent anyway and the house is for everyone to live in, don't be in rush to make the money and hurt yourself or Wan Wan will be upset and worried for you."

" I know." Lin Jing too knew that he was in the wrong it was just that he was worried about his family, as the eldest brother it was driving him nuts that he couldn't protect his family in the village and had to bring them to the town like a coward, even if they made sure to punish that hooligan responsible for the trouble, Lin Jing wasn't happy. If he worked hard enough and saved enough money such that he made a name for himself in the town then that hooligan would have thought twice before making things difficult for him and his family.

" Wan Wan, don't be angry," Lin Chen hurriedly chased after Su Wan who was acting like a puffer fish and walked towards her so that he was the one walking on the side of the road. " Eldest brother is just troubled that he wasn't able to protect you well in the village nothing else, you don't have to worry, I, second brother and fifth brother will make sure that he understands that it's not good to push himself."

" It's not that I am angry because he is trying to grow his business and get closer to the n.o.blemen," said Su Wan with a frown. " But you saw it too right, when we were looking for a house your brother looked around for a suitable one every day, he would go out in the morning and come late at night. I am not saying that it's wrong to work hard but one must know his limits," she sighed and patted Lin Chen on the shoulder. "It's all right though, I am sure that Jing Ge will understand what he should and should not do, right?"

Having a new shop meant having another form of responsibility, so of course, it was a good thing that Lin Jing was being so responsible but it would have been nice if he knew how to set limits for himself.

Because Su Wan and Lin Chen were busy chatting, they didn't see the carriage that was coming from behind, the two of them discussed how they should make Lin Jing take it easy when someone from the carriage their hand out and caught hold of Su Wan's arm.

Before she could even realise what was happening, Su Wan felt the sudden jerk of someone pulling her to the front when Lin Chen caught hold of her waist and pulled her next to him causing her long sleeve shirt to tear. Everything happened so suddenly that even when Su Wan heard Lin Chen ask whether or not she was all right, she couldn't answer for a very long time, all she could do was stare at the carriage that was running away and almost gasped out loud in relief when she realised that she wasn't kidnapped by the people in that carriage.

" Wan Wan, are you okay?" Lin Chen wanted to chase after the carriage but he was worried about being attacked from the back, what if he turned his back and someone came to make a grab at Su Wan from behind?

Su Wan was a bit stunned but she was a woman who has gone through thick and thin in her past life, so she nodded feeling a bit dazed as she looked at the carriage that was driving away. " Did you see who was inside the carriage?"

" I didn't the man was covering his face but from the looks of it, he was fairly young and didn't know how to grab people," said Lin Chen as he carefully thought about what happened just now. With a frown, he sharply looked at the carriage, " Was it done by the Feng Zihang?"
