Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

"But still.." Han Jie did not trust the officials or the rich. One must have to know that her father travelled thousands of miles from the prosperous capital to come to this rotten place. He was transferred to this place because the emperor wanted Han Ju to make a change.

However, the Old Madam Lai! She caused her father's life to become desolate. Her father was filled with dreams and ambitions when he arrived in this city but the second he lost his leg, all the dreams that he had shattered into pieces!

And it was all because of that darned Lai family. More importantly, the Lai family was so deeply involved with the officials that despite them looking for justice for their father, the officials never helped them. They even told them that they should forget what happened and move on, only Yun Zhao was willing to show a bit of sympathy to their family.

If he hadn't helped them get the retirement funds, Han Jie was sure that their family was done for.

"Haha, you don't need to worry about me so much, Jie Jie," Han Fu patted his daughter on the head and then said to her, "I am nothing but a useless man now. It's a good thing that the magistrate is even willing to look at me."

He paused and added, "Didn't you see the snack street? Do you think that someone whose head is filled with nothing but schemes would be able to make such a lively and successful snack street? I am sure that this time the magistrate that his majesty sent … is better than the previous ones."

"You are right husband," Lian Hui nodded as she stepped out of the old kitchen and then placed a bowl of porridge in front of her husband, daughter and son. "The snack street is so lively and profitable despite the dishes being sold at a reasonable price."

Han Yijun pursed his lips and then with a frown said, "Father, you are praising the magistrate too much. If anyone was to hear it they would think that she has four heads and eight arms. I think that you are better than her, if you did not lose your leg then you would be sitting in her position."

Han Fu simply took a bite of his porridge and did not say anything to his son. His son was the only heir of their family, thus his wife doted on him a lot because of this Han Yijun did not know that there were people who were better than him.

If he was as good as Su Wan then he would be handed the position of the county magistrate from the start and not just the head of the agricultural department.

"You just need to remember to be polite in front of the magistrate," Han Fu's wife said to her son with a light hit on his head. "I don't want you disrespecting the magistrate in any way. Lest she gets upset. This is the only chance that your father will get a decent job."

"I...I know, I am not foolish," Han Yinjin said to his mother.

With the family of four discussing this and that, an hour passed by without them knowing.

The sound of someone knocking on the door echoed causing Han Fu to stand up in a hurry. However, he stumbled and almost fell.

"Father, you don't need to get excited. I will go and see, Madam Su," Han Jie said to her father as she walked over to the door. As she pulled open the door, she saw Su Wan standing outside. She was wearing a vibrant red robe, with a gold crown on her head. She seemed to be filled with high spirits as she smiled at Han Jie,

"Is Master Han at home?" Su Wan asked and Han Jie nodded instinctively. She did not know why but something about Su Wan made her listen to her.

"Yes he is, my father has been waiting for you, Magistrate Su," Han Jie said to Su Wan who nodded and entered the house, behind her was Yun Zhao who was brimming with happiness.

How could he not? The snack street had given employment to more than fifty per cent of the population, and the fishermen no longer worried about catching useless fish as Su Wan would come up with a way to deal with them.

Even the butchers and the people who knew how to cook had regained financial independence and that was good enough for now.

With Su Wan starting farming, Yun Zhao was sure that the situation of his city would only get better and better.

Han Fu stepped forward and was about to kneel in front of Su Wan but the latter personally stepped forward and stopped him, "There is no need for this, I am here because I need the knowledge and wisdom of Master Han. I am waiting for you to agree to my request such that we can start as soon as possible. I will certainly not let you down if you agree."

Su Wan was willing to make a promise as she knew that Han Fu would not regret his choice.

Master Han looked at Su Wan, she was a slender woman and hardly looked older than his daughter. Yet she had a confidence that was impossible for him to ignore.

What was more, she was the one who turned the destiny of this city with her skills.

This was also the reason why he was willing to trust Su Wan, after all, if he did not hug her thighs now, when would he do it? When others had taken over his position and developed?

"Magistrate Su, thank you for giving me another opportunity. I am willing to serve you with all my heart." Though Han Fu was much older than Su Wan, he could see that the woman in front of him had much more skills than him. Thus, he did not find it embarrassing to lower his head in front of her.
