She became foolish after losing a soul and a spirit, mocked by the world.
On her fifteenth birthday, due to an issue with her engagement, her cousin pushed her into a river. This misfortune t...
Chapter 129 The Lin Family is About to Become Landlords
Lin Zhousheng frowned the whole time. After Lin Yangshi finished speaking, he said, "Don't meddle in their family affairs in the future."
Seeing that Lin Yangshi was struggling to keep up with him, he reached out his big hand, took Lin Yangshi's hand, and hurried home.
Lin Yangshi, who was being held hands with for the first time in public, was shocked by Lin Zhousheng's bold move.
Not knowing how to take a step, she stepped on her right foot with her left and bumped directly into Lin Zhousheng's back.
"Be careful, you're such a big girl, and you can't even walk properly." Although he complained, he put his arm around Lin Yangshi and slowed down.
"..." This was the first time Madam Lin had seen Lin Zhousheng so gentle. She felt like she was dreaming, her heart filled with sweetness. She didn't dare to utter a sound, afraid of breaking this beautiful moment.
...
"Daughter, what did you say?" Even the royal family was so shocked by Lin Ruoxi's words that they thought they were hallucinating, and asked again uncertainly.
"Second sister, is it true?" Not only was Lin Wangshi Jin shocked, but even Lin Wenqian's three children were extremely shocked and asked again.
“Mother, elder brother, I’m saying that from now on, all the land around our house, including the hill behind it, will belong to our family.”
Lin Luoxi repeated what she had just said, and then took out a dozen land deeds from her bosom and waved them in front of Lin Wangshi.
When Madam Lin looked at the thin sheets of paper arranged in a fan shape in Lin Luoxi's hand, waving in front of her eyes, she felt it was all very unreal.
I reached out, wanting to see, but fearing it was just a hallucination, I didn't reach out.
"Mother, look, this is our land!" Seeing Lin Wangshi's cautious and hesitant manner, Lin Luoxi pushed the gas in her hand towards Lin Wangshi.
"Hey, hey..." Lin Wangshi felt a little bit of reality when she felt the touch in her hand. She looked down at the land deed but couldn't understand the words on it. She then looked at Lin Luoxi.
“Daughter, I can’t read. Why don’t you read it to me?” Lin Wangshi’s intuition told her that Lin Luoxi definitely knew the words on it, so she pushed the land deed to Lin Luoxi again.
"Okay! But, Mother, starting tomorrow, you should also learn to read with us. It's really a disadvantage if you don't know how to read."
"In the future, both my eldest brother and third brother will be taking the imperial examinations. As their family members, we can't be illiterate, can we?" Lin Luoxi explained the advantages and disadvantages of being able to read to Lin Wangshi, and even arranged the time for Lin Wangshi to learn to read in the future.
"Okay, I'll listen to my daughter." Lin Wangshi smiled gently and readily agreed to Lin Xu Luoxi's arrangement, her ears filled with Lin Luoxi's well-intentioned nagging.
"Daughter, what about me, what about me..." Everyone in the family needs to learn to read, so he can't be the only one who's a complete novice. Lin Dayou started asking Lin Luoxi anxiously.
"You've done all the housework, so you should learn with us too!" Lin Luoxi was quite surprised to see Lin Dayou so eager to learn, but she also set a trap for him.
"Okay, I promise I'll complete the task tomorrow and study hard." Lin Dayou, completely oblivious to the trickery in Lin Luoxi's words, patted his chest and made a firm promise.
Lin Wenqian, Xie Hanchuan, Lin Wentao, and Lin Luoning were oblivious to Lin Luoxi and Lin Dayou's conversation, as they were focused on the land deed on the table the entire time.
"Heavens, so many land deeds! Does that mean our family is just like the landlord Wang's family in the next village?" Lin Wenqian had learned quite a few characters in the past two days, and he recognized some of the characters on the land deeds. Naturally, he also recognized the name on the land deeds as Lin Luoxi.
They had no objection to the fact that Lin Luoxi was the owner of the land deed.
After all, such a large fortune was all built by Lin Luoxi alone. Without Lin Luoxi, their family would have nothing.
"That's right, I didn't expect my second sister to be so amazing. So many land deeds. If the Lin family knew, they would be kicking themselves." Lin Wentao said with great satisfaction as he looked at the thick stack of land deeds on the table.
"Hey, we can't let the Lin family know about this."
Lin Dayou, who had just agreed with Lin Luoxi to study tomorrow, quickly stopped Lin Wentao when he heard what Lin Wentao said.
“Daughter, why are you buying so much land? This land is very infertile. If you want to grow crops, it will probably take three to five years. After three to five years, it will be time to pay taxes again…”
Lin Wangshi had been tending to crops for many years, so she naturally knew how important the fertility and barrenness of the land were to the crops.
Faced with Lin Wangshi's confusion, Lin Luoxi patiently explained.
“Mother, I know, but you also said that the land should be nurtured before planting crops. I have other plans for the next three to five years and have no intention of planting crops.”
“Growing crops doesn’t make much money, so I plan to plant medicinal herbs all over the back hill. Our family will grow medicinal herbs from now on…”
Since everyone present was one of their own, Lin Luoxi didn't hold back and revealed her entire plan.
Xie Hanchuan started to lose focus when Lin Luoxi took out so many land deeds.
The girl he admires has amassed so much wealth; he's feeling a bit of pressure, but he can't afford to fall behind.
After hearing Lin Luoxi's words, he thought for a moment and asked, "Sister Luoxi, can I learn to grow herbs with you?"
"Of course! I guarantee that we'll start construction as soon as my master returns." Lin Luoxi was quite confident in herself.
“Daughter, we’ve never grown medicinal herbs before, will we be able to manage?” Lin Wangshi saw that Lin Luoxi’s whole body started to glow when she mentioned growing medicinal herbs, and she began to worry again.
"Mother, you must believe in my strength." Before anything had even begun, Lin Luoxi didn't want to explain too much. She had an extraordinary space within her, and she could make herbs survive even on concrete, let alone barren land.
Xie Hanchuan was stunned by Lin Luoxi's radiant confidence.
"Father, Mother, the officials will be coming tomorrow to measure the area on the land deed. What we need to do tomorrow is..." Lin Luoxi began to arrange things for tomorrow.
After listening to Lin Luoxi's grand ambitions all night, Xie Hanchuan found them quite novel and was completely absorbed.
Not only Xie Hanchuan, but even the two adults, Lin Dayou and Lin Wangshi, were engrossed in listening.
In their subconscious, farmers should cultivate the land, take good care of the crops, and make money.
But unexpectedly, growing herbs can also make money. According to Lin Luoxi's explanation, it's even more profitable than growing crops.
If it weren't for the fact that the officials hadn't come to measure the land yet, they would all have wanted to carry hoes and start clearing the wasteland.
"Uncle Dayou, Auntie, it's getting late, I'll head back now." Xie Hanchuan had heard enough, and remembering that he still didn't know how much wealth he had, he quickly got up to say goodbye to Lin Dayou and the others, and hurried home.
