Chapter 615 A juicy bait
Under the determined gazes of her husbands, Su Wan had to take a few steps back and let them deal with this situation themselves.
Grandma Shen watched Su Wan retreat and then turned her attention back to the four young men, " I am an easy woman to please… I will not ask for much but all you have to do is to stand next to the Shen family in the town as well as the capital in terms of monetary status as well as fame in the next three years."
Everyone sucked in a breath as they heard the bet that Grandma Shen has placed in front of the Lin Brothers, the Shen family was a well-known family and had a long history of working in both business and politics, naturally, they would have a good name in both the capital and town but the Lin family?
The Lin family was a small family whose ancestors were nothing but commoners and farmers, who never dabbled in any kind of politics or business, they didn't even have widespread fame in the town yet how were they going to make a name in the capital? And that too in three years.
Su Wan smacked her hand on her forehead, this was why she didn't want her husbands to hear about the bet. Though Grandma Shen looked like she was a clustered headed woman but she was once known for her fearsome tactics in the market, even she who only transmigrated to this era a few months ago heard about the fame of Grandma Shen—— she might be confused and out of control when it comes to her family but when she was dealing with outsiders whom she didn't take as a family, she will eat them whole without leaving any crumbs behind.
Though she was cordial towards her husbands when compared to Shen Zizhen and Shen Junxi, she was the one they had to look out for the most because she wasn't as easy as to win over as her uncles.
" Don't think that I am being too much, you can of course take my bet lightly and not fulfil the requirements, it's not like I will take Wan Wan away from you," said Grandma Shen as she smiled until the wrinkles on her face crinkled. " She is your wife, naturally I can not separate you all from each other."
" What's the catch?" asked Lin Yu, he could more or less understand that there was some sort of extra terms and conditions applied or else she wouldn't have given them such a good deal out of nowhere, after all, if they didn't even need to fulfil the requirements of the bet then what kind of bet was it even?
" I like how smart you are little one," beamed Old Madam Shen as her calculating eyes turned to look at the four men with a shrewd glint in them. " The catch is a simple one, if you fail to fulfil the requirements then all of your children will be surnamed Shen, I mean —— think about it, even if you only have two kids each, it will still raise the count to ten children. If you do not have a firm backing how will you raise your children? Or do you want them to work in the fields like you all are despite having a maternal family that's stronger than anything? If you can't meet the requirements of the bet then each of your children will be named after the Shen family and will be given a property that I owe, don't worry even if I die, I will make sure the arrangements are met… because I can't let my grandchildren leave a life stuck in a small village just because their fathers couldn't pull their big daddies pants."
That was a low blow.
Su Wan who was standing between Grandma Shen and her husbands sensed the changes in the expressions of her husbands and sucked in a breath this was going to be hard.. this was really going to be hard.
" We agree," just as she was expecting her husbands to blow up, Lin Jing who was silently assessing everything that Grandma Shen has said spoke and accepted the bet. After all, it was no longer a bet but a test, he could sense the bait that Grandam Shen was throwing toward them, her motive from the start to finish wasn't putting them down but to test their loyalty, she deliberately put forth such a suggestion because she wanted to test them.
A juicy bait like that —- she wanted to see whether or not they were going to take it.
If they worked hard then even if they didn't meet the requirements she wouldn't say anything nor will she try to change the surname of their kids but if they sat back down like they were enjoying a show like Su Bai then she will surely take the children away and put them under her care.
It wasn't just a bet, it was a test of their patience, love and pride.
She wanted them to show her that they were a better man than Su Bai.
So, if they refused to accept the bet then they will only prove her ugliest fears right, and since he had full confidence in his brothers, he wasn't afraid to take the bet on.
" Well, Well, isn't that nice? I do always loved a hot-blooded man." Grandma Shen patted Lin Jing's arm and then paused for a while before adding, " But of course just waiting for three years is not good right? So what about this? If you keep me and my granddaughter happy then I will add give you a few points if you do well then I will reduce the stakes so that you will be able to meet them easily? Is that alright? I think it is. After all, a good househusband is also a must." After saying this she laughed heartily before slapping Lin Jing hard on his arm. " And since you have this tough macho look that I am a sucker for I will give you ten points! You did great my granddaughter!"
