Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 192 - [Bonus ]Father ?

Because of the flood , The rice seller wanted to empty his warehouse because in such situations there was always a chance for the refugees to rebel and loot from their warehouse , at that time they wouldn\'t be able to make any profit . Thus, the rice seller was in such a hurry to sell his rice at the same time making a big profit out of it .

As for an extra meter , with twelve taels in hand he didn\'t mind giving a meter extra " sure , sure. If you buy twelve meters of rice , I will give you one meter extra , will that do ?"

Lin Yan nodded then pulled out the money from his pocket " here boss , these three taels are for rice as for the other two taels? please give me some white flour and noddles . Please pack everything up for me" then he placed the two long buckets that he and Lin Yu were carrying and let the rice seller fill them up .

The rice seller was really happy , he immediately asked his workers to fill up their baskets snd happily sent them away .

Once they were out of the queue , Lin Yu couldn\'t help but frown . His brows almost squeezing together so tightly that he could\'ve killed a fly to death by his brows " Do we rea….really need to buy this much ? Do..Don\'t we al…already have the c….coarse g..grains ?"

Since , his second brother already knew about his personality , Lin Yu didn\'t bother about hiding it . Lin Yan heard his brother\'s unhappy voice and his lips twitched , this brat was sure acting unrestrained with him now that he knew about his true personality .

" its not that I want to buy this much altogether but the weather is getting colder day by day , with this flood I\'m sure the first snow will be hitting our village in a few days . When that happens , I want our family to be well prepared . I think with this flood won\'t be ending anytime soon with the amount of refugees that rushed in the town "

Lin Yu understood what his second brother was saying but when he turned around and saw that ear splitting grin of the grain and oil shopkeeper , he was dissatisfied" that shopkeeper made a huge profit from us but what about us ? We are still selling the dishes at the same price that we were selling isn\'t it disadvantageous for us ?"

Lin Yan also turned back and saw the smile of the rice seller , however he wasn\'t as upset as Lin Yu . So he spoke calmly " no , we are not in a? disadvantage here. Believe it or not , sooner or later this unscrupulous businessman would learn a good lesson in the future "

His fifth brother? looked at him like he couldn\'t understand what he was saying , so Lin Yan smiled a little more widely and explained patiently " tell me this Yu , will you ever buy rice grains from this shopkeeper in the future ?"

Lin Yu was stunned at his brother\'s question and immediately responded " of course not ! This kind of pe…person who makes a fortune out of so..some..someone else crisis , de …deserves to be beaten to death ! The on..only way I\'m bu..buying grains from him wi..will be whe..when I have gone ma..mad and blind !"

" You stupid boy , what are you saying ?" hearing Lin Yu say such words , Lin Yan immediately knocked on his forehead crooking his finger " but anyway like you said , you will never buy rice anymore from this shopkeeper again . Do you think , you are the only person who is thinking like this ? I can assure you that every single person who brought the rice from this shopkeeper must be thinking along the same line . They only brought rice from him because they had no other choice , the grains in other shops have already finished and he is the only one who had white flour and polished rice , thus people had no choice but to buy from him . But that\'s only because the situation is a bit perilous , do you think this shopkeeper will be able to sell this much rice once the situation turns better ?"

" No " answered Lin Yu truthfully , the fact that they had to pay four taels for just twelve meters of rice has been locked in his heart . Even if there came another flood , he would rather go to the capital and buy rice then buy twelve meters for four taels ! With four taels they could buy thirty to forty meters of rice but instead they only got twelve !

" See , it might be bringing instant profit for him right now but in the future his greed will? drag? him down " said Lin Yan as he walked out of the grain market " even if we might be at a little disadvantage now , I\'m sure it will change in a while . By keeping the same price at our restaurant , I\'m reeling in the customers for long time profit. As for others who raised their prices , do you think the dock workers who ate and drank their feel religiously at their restaurant would go back again ? They definitely won\'t , the workers who earn by daily wages will suffer the most in these situations and I can assure you that the more they suffer the more they will hate the unscrupulous people who tried to take advantage of them . Only today I got more than half the dock workers in our restaurant just wait , later on every single one of them will start coming to our restaurant and this chain won\'t break ever because " turning to look at Lin Yu with a shrewd smile , Lin Yan added " because I didn\'t take advantage of them while everyone else was "

Lin Yu who saw his brother \'s smile shivered , he shouldn\'t have worried about this brother of his . He was such a black bellied businessman , there was no way he was going to lose money because of his \' goodness \' of his heart . He quickly lit a candle for all those dock workers who were being fooled by his second brother in his heart and prayed for their soul - from now on , those workers will be his second brother\'s cash cows and the most frustrating yet funny thing was that those dock workers didn\'t even know that they were being taken advantage of !

How cunning!

When the two brothers turned around a corner to? reach the town gates , they realised that the number of refugees have increased again . Now the streets were packed with their population , and it was certain that their town will suffer from food shortage soon enough . Either the rich will buy everything and store the grains or the refugees will rebel and steal everything .

Lin Yan was in good mood , he was relaxed knowing that his family won\'t be starved to death but then , his gaze was caught by an emaciated figure and he stopped . His heart beating wildly , he stared at the figure fixedly at the back of the figure . There was no way , this was possible but the more Lin Yan looked at the figure , the more his memories of childhood flashed in mind and the figure of the person coincided with the figure in his memories .

Lin Yu who was walking behind Lin Yan didn\'t get any warning as his second brother stopped , thus he ran headlong in his second brother\'s back .. Infuriated , Lin Yu looked up but when he caught sight of his brother\'s pale complexion and shocked expression , he immediately realised something was wrong and followed his brother\'s line of sight . The emaciated? back and? familiar? yet haggard face of the person met? his eyes , leaving him just as shocked and stunned as his brother as only one word left his mouth " Father …?"
