Shrewd wife of Lin brothers

Chapter 844: I don’t think its true

----------------

" Since you all are going to work for me then I will let you know something, two years ago I was about to be sold by my parents but not only did I take my dowry but I also separated from the family who wanted to dominate me."

" I had thirty taels in my hands and I used it to earn three hundred taels. And that three hundred taels turned into three hundred thousand in a year. Now I have the money to build this small snack street in the city, do you know?"

No one said a word as they had no idea how Su Wan did it, seeing that the officials were not saying anything, she smiled and then continued speaking,

" Do you think that it was because of my face? But that cannot be right either, I am a married woman. I cannot do something as shameless as seducing men. So did I rely on my beauty or did I rely on my sweet tongue?"

" I will say that I did not rely on either," her tone was full of ridicule for those men who thought that she used her beauty to reach the spot where she was standing. " Do you think that there are not enough beauties in the town where I come from that men would give me millions?

Those who question the abilities of a woman by saying that she might have used a shortcut to reach where she is standing, they are all making excuses to hide their incompetence."

What kind of man would be willing to give his all to a woman? Her husbands were good men but that did not mean that everyone else was the same.

Her words caused a few men to blush and glare at her but Su Wan did not take her words back. She looked at the men who were glaring at her and calmly stated, "It's not a sin to be incompetent but despite knowing that you are incompetent and refusing to work hard is a sin.

After Lu Huo spoke up, the rest of the department also agreed, after all, Lu Huo was the head of the development department, if he agreed how could any of them refuse?

Seeing that everyone had understood the matter, Su Wan nodded and said, " Then this meeting is adjourned."

After speaking, Su Wan thanked the rest of the officials for their time before she headed down to the office to deal with the rest of the documents.

Pei Huai watched her leave and then turned to look at Lu Huo, he asked, " Are you sure you want to do this? You are the son-in-law of the Lai family and she..."

" Those who are mediocre need to give way to those who are brilliant," replied Lu Huo. " I was appointed the head of the department three years ago but other than the fact that I could build roads with my puny salary, I could do nothing else."

He knew that his wife would have a few things to say about this matter but there was nothing else that Lu Huo could do, he did not have the skill or the money. Even if he did have these two things, he was afraid that his wife wouldn't allow him to take even a penny from the treasury as she had inherited all the greedy instincts of the Lai family.

On the other hand, the official who was scolded by Su Wan pursed his lips and complained, " I think we are making a mistake. I am not optimistic about her, she is too arrogant and I don't think a woman like her has seen the world. She got married early and she also has children other than staying at home and raising kids what else does she know ?"

" You are right, I also dislike the temperament of the county magistrate. She is way too ruthless, it's as if she is a tyrant and we are her subjects."

Pei Huai turned to look at the officials and said, " Well, she has the Emperor behind her. So she surely has the right to be arrogant."

" I don't tthat'sthats true."
