Chapter 879: Recreating the story
" Wan Wan, I am done with the books." Lin Rui knocked on the door of the room where Su Wan was lying languidly on the bed and then waited for her permission. Though they were husband and wife, he did not want to trespass on her private space without her permission.
Su Wan was lying on the bed after she was done feeding her sons, though she loved her two little ones, she sometimes felt too overwhelmed in their presence and would take a small break.
She raised her head and then turned to look at Lin Rui who was standing outside the door and nodded before saying, " Come on in." She then turned to look at Lin Chen who was massaging her legs and said, "It's all right, you can go and eat now."
"I am not hungry yet," Lin Chen pouted he had been working for weeks now and did not get a chance to spend time with his wife. How could he leave just yet? What was more he wanted to see what kind of books Lin Rui had written after listening to Su Wan's instructions.
Lin Rui walked inside the room followed by Lin Yu who came with a scroll of documents to see Su Wan. When the two brothers saw Lin Yu, they were slightly stunned and Lin Chen could not help but ask, " What are you doing here?" He was frowning as he spoke.
" Do you think I would have come if I knew you were here third brother?" Lin Yu spoke with a smile on his face as he turned to look at Su Wan while ignoring Lin Chen who glared at him. " I have finished tallying the data, from what I learned from Lord Yan, we can buy the land next to the abandoned brothel but the old lady of that place is adamant about getting a job."
" The old lady ?" Lin Rui who sat down on the chair turned to look at Lin Yu who nodded in response and then explained with a light scowl on his face, " She is the last owner of the brothel after everyone else died of starvation or cold.
Though it once had a really good business, after the Lai family's relatives opened another brothel outside the town, the business in this place suddenly declined leaving its old caretaker to take care of it."
" No one wants to buy that place as they think it's not good for business with what kind of things went inside, more importantly, many women died in that building."
" Then they can come and watch the shows as well," stated Su Wan as she closed her eyes in slight annoyance. " What about the old lady, why is not moving after you told her that we are willing to buy the building?"
Lin Yu sighed after hearing her question as he said, " That woman does not have a family who will take care of her, which is why she wants a job included in the agreement or else she will not move. Though the place is a bit inside the street compared to the other shops that we saw.
It is indeed better and Lord Yan said to me that I should discuss it with you as soon as possible before the Lai family moves that old lady."
" That Lai family…." Su Wan was having a headache thinking about the Lai family but she still nodded and then said, " Very well, if that is the case then I am willing to let her have a job but it will not be some grand job."
" I think it will be fine as she only wants a job to live a comfortable life," said Lim Yu. He then turned to look at his two brothers and asked, " What are you doing here?"
" I am massaging my beautiful wife's legs can you not see?" Lin Chen said proudly.
Lin Rui on the other hand smiled politely and then replied, ".. I am here to let Su Wan take a look at the books that I have written according to her instructions. If she says that everything is fine then we can take it to the publishing house."
" Oh is that so?" Lin Yu heard his fourth brother's response and could not help but become a bit curious. He sat down on the edge of the bed on which Su Wan was lying and then said, " Can I hear it too?"
As he spoke he turned to look at Su Wan who shrugged and then took the two thick stacks of paper from Lin Rui. She first read out the kids' story that consisted of a mermaid princess and a prince, it was a common story that Su Wan came up with within a short time.
In the story, the prince fell in love with the princess who was caught from the sea and then taken to the palace. She was supposed to be sold to the king of the other country but once the prince fell in love with her, he fought with the King to save his beloved before marrying her and living with her happily ever after.
" It is well written," Song Yan nodded as she handed the copy to Lin Yu and said, " Have it copied and then place the main script in the locker we cannot let anyone know that a scholar wrote this lest they make a fuss."
Lin Rui was the only one who could write in the house other than her thus she left the matter to him but she never intended to take the main copies to the publishing house!
She then picked up the other manuscript that was lying on the side and tittered silently, "Let's see what my dear husband has written for the adults, shall we ?" She turned to look at Lin Rui who flushed red before nodding. Only then did Su Wan flip the pages of the manuscript and part her lips to read it.
