" About that, we are thinking of making this house a resort," said Lin Yan, a few days ago he heard Su Wan tell him about hot spring resorts and from then he has been thinking a lot before he and his brothers decided to find the vein of the hot spring in their house and fortunately they were able to find it after much look around the surrounding, it wasn't far from here and the land was also left alone because it was close to the mountain forest. They have already discussed it with the village head and decided to buy that land, and because it was an unwanted piece of land they will be able to buy it for a cheap price.
" A resort?" Su Wan incredulously asked and then gasped. " You guys found the vein?"f𝘳𝐞𝒆wｅ𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟e𝑙. c𝘰𝓂
Lin Chen nodded with his hand behind his head. " Wasn't that difficult either, I was able to track it with ease, we just needed to look around a little and after that boom we got it!"
Though Lin Chen said it like they found it pretty easily, the brothers knew themselves how hard it was for them to find the vein, it was hard work of more than half a month before they could find the vein. And since they wanted to hide it from the villagers, they had to look for the vein in the hot spring at night which caused them a lot of headaches but since they were going to buy a house that was more than a thousand taels, they had to make sure that they will be able to recover the loss as well.
And when they discussed it with the Village head, who agreed at once upon hearing that this new project of the Lin brothers will be able to bring development to the town and that was how their plan passed through its initial stages.
Su Wan gaped at them, she was the one who slept next to these men and yet she had no idea what was going on in their heads—— she didn't even realise when they went out of the house and looked for the hot spring's vein.
" That's amazing," she said after a short pause, as she blinked her eyes and tried to soak in the amount of information that was just dumped on her head. " I .. I. .. I don't even know what to say, you guys are really … I mean you are all impressive."
Seeing that she wasn't against their plan, the brother all released consecutive breaths of relief as they smiled.
" Then it's decided," said Lin Yan as he looked at his eldest brother. " You can finalize the deal with the old couple and get them to sign the document of transferring the property as soon as you can, eldest brother. Or else if they find someone who is willing to pay more money then it will be twice as troublesome for us."
Lin Jing nodded. " I will get them to sign the papers, they are in a hurry to move as well… they need to leave by the end of this month. I will get them to sign the documents, until then," he sternly looked at Su Wan. " You stay at home, once we are in town, you can go around the house as much as you want, all right?"
" All right."
What the Lin brothers didn't know was that even if Su Wan didn't leave the house, there was always a chance for trouble to come to find her.
" You guys have you heard?" said a village woman as she looked at Xin Shi who came to wash her clothes.
" What?" The other women who were poked in their ribs looked up but then they smiled knowingly when they saw who came to the river.
" I heard that the Feng brothers' fields made a full recovery," said the woman grinning as she looked at Xin Shi who started to wash her clothes as if she was beating someone. When the woman saw that Xin Shi didn't reply, she looked at the other two women and then tauntingly spoke, " You know what, I bet who was behind ruining their fields must be regretting it now, imagine working so hard, even going so far as disturbing their sleep at night and all of a sudden all of their hard work went down the drain. I bet snakes must be rolling on their chests now, what do you all say?"
" You!" Xin Shi wasn't stupid, she could understand that the women were trying to put her down so, she threw the clothes that she was washing aside and then glared at them. " What are you talking about? If you have something to say then say it on my face all right? What's with this roundabout way of throwing mud at me?"
The woman was also not one to mess with, she rolled her eyes and then looked at Xin Shi with a fake smile. " I didn't say any names did I? There is no need for you to jump out and confess your dirty deeds."
Xin Shi was mad enough to hit someone but she still calmed down after listening to the rest of the words, if she was to hit these women now then she will more or less agree to their claims, so she clasped the wrist of her son and walked towards her house.
Before throwing the basket of the dirty laundry in the corner of the room and when she noticed that her husband was lying in the bed hiding from the villagers, she picked up the wet clothes and dumped them all on Feng Zihang causing the latter to wake up with a start. " What? What was that for?"
" What was that for? If you were scheming to do something then do it properly! At least then listening to all of this nonsense will make sense! Look at this, the entire village is spitting on me, now what should I do?"
Feng Zihang threw the clothes that were lying on top of him and shouted back, "If you are so good then why don't you do something?"
" Fine!" snapped Xin Shi. " Maybe I will do something! Since you are so useless!"
And that very night, Su Wan's melon fields were set on fire.
