Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers Chapter 95
Advertisement
" Let's go , we should deal with these first " Su Wan wasn't one to harp on one thing forever , now that she couldn't buy the infused oils , she just threw the matter in the back of her head and moved on , if she couldn't buy it then she won't buy it , its not like she was so stupid that she couldn't even make some essential oils at home right ? And when her friend told her the theory , she made it sound fairly simple , even if she couldn't make it in her first try , Su Wan was sure that as long as she was patient enough she could make some essential oils in her second and third try . But for now they should do what they came to do in the town first , as for everything else she would take care of it later on .
"Alright " now that Su Wan was no longer pulling a long face , Lin Yan and Lin Yu sighed in relief as well . Together the three of them walked to the embroidery shop where Madam Cheng was haggling with the merchant " no , no I will just pay twenty copper coins for this piece of cloth , have you seen how coarse and rough the material is ? Not even the maids of the rich missies will buy this , at most some dock workers might show interest in it , do you really believe that such a coarse piece of cloth will be sold for forty copper coins ?"
The merchant who was selling the raw materials immediately bristled and snatched the coarse cloth from Madam Cheng 's hands " if you don't want to buy then don't buy , don't call such a fine cloth coarse and poor quality !" Stuffing the cloth back into his baggage , the merchant nastily added " Madam Cheng do you think your Shan Shui embroidery shop is the same as the old times ? It has lost its charm and your days are gone - do you think any rich missies will come here to shop ? " his shrewish eyes lingered on the old wooden carving that were chipped and cracked in places " do you think any merchant would like to bring the finest brocade of his shop to yours ? Bringing our finest cloth here will be nothing but embarrassing our hard work ! You should be gratified that At least I showed you some face when you sent your page boy and I brought some brocades to sell you . Humph , clearly I was wrong not only your shop has lots its grandeur you have lost your sanity as well , such fine cloth and you call it coarse. I should have gone to Long Feng embroidery shop if I knew this was how you were going to disrespect me "

" You -" Madam Cheng hated it when someone talked bad about her embroidery shop , this shop was named after her mistress Shen Shui , only the Shen of the Shan Shui was changed . To talk bad about this shop was equivalent to talking bad about her late mistress , Madam Cheng couldn't bear it . She wanted to throw merchant Yu out but before she could a domineering voice stopped her .
" Its not too late if you want to sell your brocade to Long Feng embroidery shop , if you want you can rush your fat ass right there its not too far " Su Wan heard what the merchant said and she wasn't happy with it at all , Shan Shui shop was the original Su Wan's mother's dream shop , if her memory served her right , the restaurant and the make up shop was something her mother was not interested in but this embroidery shop was something the late mother Su established herself , to embarrass the Shan Shui shop was actually embarrassing the late mother Su .
" Who are you ?" Merchant Yu wasn't happy when a young girl talked down to him, he was very upset and glowered at Su Wan but Lin Yan protectively pushed Su Wan behind him and glanced at Merchant Yu with an ice cold glare of his own , merchant Yu tried to maintain his bravado but soon he looked away cursing Lin Yan for being unruly and arrogant .
Lin Yu too glared at Merchant Yu when the latter tried to glare at Su Wan again .
" who am I ? I'm the owner of this very shop you were insulting " said Su Wan rolling her eyes then stepping out from Lin Yan ' s behind , she strode over to Merchant Yu 's baggage and took out the coarse cloth he was showing to Madam Cheng as a fine quality cloth " Hmm what did you say ? That Madam Cheng has gone senile and can't differentiate between good and bad ? Well , I haven't gone senile yet and I still say that you most probably brought this cloth from your warehouse , I am certain that this cloth was stored last winter in your warehouse but you weren't able to sell it , so you brought it here when Madam Cheng asked you to bring some brocade for our shop hoping that you will be able to sell this useless piece of cloth to us for a good price because if this was really as good as you said you would've never brought it here instead you have sold it to that Long Feng shop from the very beginning , you might have already sold your finest pieces there but they didn't buy it so you brought it here wanting to make some extra money - isn't that so ?"

Su Wan was quiet aware of this tricks of merchants and shop keepers having worked in a mall once . She used to prop up a stall in the food sections when she didn't have a cart or restaurant of her own in the mall , so she also knew that when the shopkeepers actually sold anything that was fifty percent off in the sale , it was most probably something they couldn't sell in the last season , so they tried to sweet talk their way into selling the unsold pieces by selling them in a sale - most probably this merchant was trying to do the same , he already finished selling the most decent pieces of his shop to the Long Feng embroidery shop , but he didn't want to lose money on this coarse cloth either , so he thought of bringing this piece of brocade here - he must have thought that now that their shop was no where as popular as before and there weren't much merchant offering to sell them brocades at a reasonable price , if he lowered a bit of the price tag , he would be able to get rid of this cloth piece and after that whatever happened in their shop it wouldn't concern him .
Hah ! Su Wan rubbed the cloth and knew that it was almost an year old even if nothing was made out of it , if they sold a dress made of this cloth piece they will surely face consequences when someone buys it and it tears off on second wash !
What a smart plan but so bad , she was the owner here , if someone wants to cheat her - they first need to eat the gall of a leopard ! You bastard you slag man , want to cheat me ? See how I teach you a lesson !

Infracto Animo
Pain. Lies. Betrayal. Deceit. Struggles. Sufferings. Humans are an Embodiment of Sin. They Lie, Cheat, Steal, Kill, Threaten, Rape, Betray, and Blackmail. All of this in order to sate their Greed, their Lust, their Envy, their Wrath, their Laziness, their Gluttony and their Pride. As such, Humans go to incredible lengths to achieve their goals. This reaches the point where it can be called "Inhumane". But if Humans are an Embodiment of Sin, is there really such a thing called "Inhumane"? They say "God created us all equal." and "We are equal in God's eyes." yet why are there many people who are poor, sickly and deformed. Did they do something to be punished as such? Even before they were born? Is there really such a thing called "Equality"? Is there really such a thing called "Peace"? Is there really such a thing called "God"? This is a story about the pain, struggles and sufferings of a man bound in a loop of never ending hatred and betrayal. Will he break the loop and end his ordeals? Or will he accept his fate and accept the loop? Light and Dark; Good and Bad; Angels and Demons; Abyss or Utopia. What will the man choose? Succumb to Darkness or reach out towards the Light. Now his story begins... This story is pretty grim and depressing with vivid violence (gore on the later part). Sexual content is included but I don't plan on making this an ero-novel so it will just involve rape and (not-so)normal intercourse. MC starts normal and simple then turns anti-hero but... well, let's just say he won't stay that way but he also won't be a "good guy". Just a HEADS UP, I am not into satanism or cults or anti-christ but some themes and dialogues here are related to demons and stuff like that so to those who will read this, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. This story is a fictional novel by which is created by the author's own words and thoughts. Any person, circumstances or happenings that are written here is purely fictional and does not relate to anything that might coincide with the plot settings and characters of this story. This story is the manifestation of the author's (my) own understanding of pain, deceit, struggles, betrayal and suffering but it does not represent the author's (my) own experiences in life.

The Tentacle of Fate
The tale of the Human Empire, the Demon Empire, and the Alliance of Beastmen is a tale as old as time itself. It was a tale of war, of love, of hatred -especial of the racial variety- and it was a tale that the races scattered across the globe thought would never end until a single species would reign supreme. Yet at times it seems that truth is stranger than fiction, they never expected the world would be united in the most unexpected of ways...

The Heretic Legion
Cover Art: Undead Master by Changling Assassin. Located at: http://fav.me/dbm60ex Used under license Creative Commons attribution non-commercial 3.0 per bottom right of the linked page. Summary: Just the story of a necromancer and his eventual army. Currently, the only major thing of note is a pretty fleshed out magic system. No set list of spells or specific incantations. Just rules similar to the laws of physics, within those laws you can do whatever is possible. Updates: I work Sunday thru Wednesday and updates tend to revolve around my scheduled days off. Currently, I release content as I feel it's ready for release because that's what I myself would prefer from an author. Warnings: This story is graphic. blood/necromancy magic that requires self-harm to use. explicit descriptions of sexuality. (though fairly tame outside of the marked chapters, at least compared to said chapters) and is generally darker in tone. If you're concerned you might start to read only to be turned off by these elements. See 7. Teetering on the Edge for an example of the graphic nature of violence or 9. Explicit Content for a fairly self-contained example of the most explicit of the sexual content.
