Chapter 398: Selling Treasures
Translator: Lonelytree
Grandma Zhou, who was standing at the side, asked excitedly, “Lan ‘Er, when do you think your uncle Mingqing can start walking?”
Lin Yuelan replied, “We’ll have to let the bones grow strong first. Maybe in another two days.”
Grandma Zhou immediately replied, “Oh, that’s great!” She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Then, she realized that Lin Yuelan was there to look for her husband. She said, “Lan ‘Er, are you in a hurry? Your Grandpa village chief went to Lin Laosan’s house. If you’re in a hurry, I’ll find him now. ”
Lin Yuelan raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, “What happened to Lin Laosan’s family this time?”
Grandma Zhou was furious when talking about this. “It’s still about Lin Erniu. The court sentenced Lin Erniu to 12 years in prison. Then, Lin Laosan thought that the sentence was too heavy, so they came over and asked us to plead with the court to reduce Lin Erniu’s sentence because it was just an accident.” At this point, Grandma Zhou’s face was full of indignation. “They really think we’re so easily bullied? What about my Qing ‘Er, who has been suffering for the past three years? Do they think everyone is a fool?”
“So, what is Grandpa village chief doing at Lin Laosan’s house?”
“Lin Laosan saw that we didn’t agree, so he shamelessly asked my husband to visit him.” Grandma Zhou continued disdainfully. “Do they really think a few words can make us change our minds? In their dreams.”
For the past three years, because of Lin Mingqing’s incident, Grandma Zhou had suppressed her anger for too long. Now that she had found the culprit, it became an outlet for her to vent her anger.
Lin Yuelan didn’t say anything.
No matter what, she was from Lin Laosan’s family. She couldn’t badmouth them for no reason. Otherwise, she would be an ungrateful person.
Grandma Zhou was scolding Lin Laosan’s family. Lin Yuelan was sitting next to her. Lin Mingqing was holding a book and reading in his wheelchair. He looked very calm and quiet.
After a while, Grandma Zhou finally calmed down. She said, a little embarrassed, “look at me, Lan ‘Er. Going on and on. Are you in an urgency to find my husband?”
Lin Yuelan shook her head, “no hurry. But I did come to find Grandpa village chief for something. ”
“What is it?” Lin Mingqing put down his book and looked at Lin Yuelan curiously.
Lin Yuelan didn’t hide anything. “I’m looking for the grandpa village chief to ask him about starting the foundation for a new house.”
When Grandma Zhou and Lin Mingqing heard this, they were shocked.
Lin Mingqing asked, “Lan ‘Er, are you going to build a house?”
“Yes,” Lin Yuelan nodded and said, “I need to buy and fence the land first.”
When people built houses in this era, they would fence off the area of the building site. If this interrupted other people’s land, the builder would pay for the usage of their land.
Since Lin Yuelan wanted to build a big tile-roofed house, the area of the house was not small. Therefore, she had to ask permission from Lin Yiwei to purchase and fence the land.
As for whether the person would sell the land or not, it was not her problem. If the person wanted to sell, she would pay. If the person deliberately wanted to go against her, then she would have to retaliate.
Lin Mingqing nodded and asked, “Where do you want to build your new house?”
“It’s at the place where I’m currently living. I will need to fence off some areas around it.” Lin Yuelan said. With this small thatched cottage as the center, they would fence off the area.
When Grandma Zhou heard this, she said worriedly, “girl, since Lin Laosan has given you that small thatched cottage, it’s already yours. It’s crazy for them to ask it back from you. However, if you plan to build a bigger house and fence off the land, it won’t go well with the house of vampires like Lin Laosan’s family. They will definitely ask you to pay an exorbitant price. You better think this through.”
