?Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Bad Idea(5)_1 Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Bad Idea(5)_1 “Third young master is not a businessman, he naturally lacks thorough considerations.” Lin Ziyin bluntly stated, “The new food I mentioned, after being improved, won’t have any fishy smell and will have a unique taste. The most important thing is, this product can be preserved for many days and is suitable for all ages.”
Si Jinhan and Chu Suifeng exchanged glances after hearing this. If Lin Ziyin’s words hold true, the lives of people in the Northern Land would undoubtedly see significant improvements. Regardless of whether Lin Ziyin was telling the truth or not, they would get the cattle for her to try.
“We’ll put the matter of roasted duck aside for now until we return from the border.” Chu Suifeng spoke slowly.
“How many days?” Lin Ziyin asked.
“The journey there and back will take five days, and we need to remain at the border for three to five days, so ten days should be enough.” Chu Suifeng responded.
Lin Ziyin thought for a moment and agreed, realizing that ten days would not hold up her greenhouse planting.
Having received her answer, Chu Suifeng finally appeared satisfied, “We will embark early tomorrow. Be prepared. We may come before dawn.”
Lin Ziyin agreed.
“Though you played hardball, this old man will not bicker with you. Don’t worry, I’ll cover your back if anything comes up,” Si Jinhan cheerfully announced as he left, feeling he got a good deal.
After their departure, the Lin Family was in an uproar.
“Ziyin, what did you promise to the prince? The border is so dangerous. What will you do if you encounter Tatars?” Lin Zige was as antsy as an ant on a hot pan.
“I’m just going to check on the cattle and sheep. It’s not like they are making me fight the Tatars. What is there to be afraid of?” Lin Ziyin responded with a beaming smile.
“It’s not acceptable. It’s a long journey and that place is a border region. If you are unlucky, you could run into Tatars causing troubles. I can’t rest easy with you, a girl, going alone.” Lin Changshu exerted his authority as the elder brother, “Even if you have to go, I must accompany you.”
“Brother, there’s no need for that. I’ll be fine if Jue Ming and the others come with me.” Lin Ziyin politely declined.
“Ziyin.” Lin Changshu raised his voice slightly.
“Let her go with others including Jue Ming. They will be accompanied by the prince and the third young master on the way, nothing will go wrong. The house needs people to manage, you guys stay and run the business with peace of mind.” The final word came from the old grandfather.
Lin Changshu and the others could only reluctantly agree.
Madam Yan returned home with a swollen face, and even received a lecturing from Elder Yan Daniu before he left.
“That bitch Lin Ziyin, she deserves to die. I’ve never seen a more black-hearted person than her.” Madam Yan continued cursing Lin Ziyin while her eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Huang, tended to her.
“Mother, enough.” Ma Zhicai gave her an angry glance.
Ma Zhicai blamed Elder Yan Daniu and his two cousins internally. This useless bunch couldn’t even manage to pull off a simple task. Even worse, after this incident, it would be much harder for him to establish any connection with the Lin Family in the future.
Moreover, the fact that even King Lian came to the Lin family to serve justice might indeed affect his future career.
“Good at nothing but causing trouble!” Big Brother Ma had heard people talking on his way home. He knew about Madam Yan’s scheme against the Lin Family. But now that it had failed, he shifted all the blame to her, “What on earth were you doing? The rumours circulating outside are damaging. If it affects our Zhicai’s exam, I swear I will skin you.”
