"My brother Dalong and my brother Erlong are getting married soon, and I guess Auntie hasn't prepared the betrothal gift money yet."
Wang Xiangju's two sons are both in their early twenties this year, and they got married in the past two years.
The two sons are of the same age, so the burden is doubled.
"And my younger brother Sanlong is about to start junior high school, and my younger brother Silong also needs to go to school, which all costs money..."
After Lin Yin mentioned this, Wang Xiangju realized the difficulties of her family. She looked at Lin Yuhua and his daughter awkwardly and said, "Come in."
Lin Yuhua and her daughter entered the house and saw Wang Xiangju's man, Xu Sanwang.
After sitting down, Lin Yin got straight to the point: "Without further ado, we'd like to acquire the few acres of land that Uncle Sanwang and Aunt Xiangju own at the east end of the village. The rent is 2,000 yuan per acre per year. Uncle and Aunt, you might consider it."
"As long as you agree, we will pay you part of the rent immediately after signing the contract."
Wang Xiangju and Xu Sanwang grumbled privately for a while, then said, "Two thousand yuan a year is too stingy! We need to pay more!"
Lin Yin smiled: "So what you mean is..."
"One acre of land costs five thousand per year! Two acres of land costs ten thousand! If you want to rent all those acres of land at the east end of the village, it'll be twenty thousand!"
Wow, you’re so bold.
Lin Yuhua almost cursed them for being heartless on the spot.
Lin Yin was very calm: "Any other requests?"
Xu Sanwang raised his head and said, "As long as you can pay us the money, we won't make things difficult for you."
"Sorry, we can't do that."
“…”
Lin Yin laughed: "Uncle, you are such a joke. If I could really offer that price, why would I have to take your land?"
"To be honest, those few acres of land of yours are dispensable. We just thought that since we have already taken over all the land to the left and right of yours, we will take over yours as well for the sake of easier management. That's all."
"We have already collected enough land. One more acre or one less acre will not make any difference."
Why were Xu Sanwang and Wang Xiangju so arrogant? It was because they thought their land was extremely valuable, so they dared to ask for too much. But...
"If you don't want to rent it, get out!" Wang Xiangju cursed, "We don't even want to rent it!"
"You really don't want it?" Lin Yin asked back.
Xu Sanwang and his wife's faces were frozen.
How could they not be interested? Almost every family that rented land to the second branch of the Lin family worked for them. Their wages were paid last month. The wages the Lin family paid were similar to those of migrant workers in the city, or even a little higher.
Moreover, you can work at home without any exertion, and you can get such a high salary just by cleaning up the fields every day. Some people are so envious.
Some people also wanted to work with the second branch of the Lin family, but the Lin family said that they would not charge rent to their workers.
Those who had hesitated about whether to rent the land immediately wanted to rent it, but the Lin family didn't want it anymore.
The reason why the Lin family still remembers Xu Sanwang's family is because the second branch of the Lin family has taken away all the land on the left and right sides of their family, except theirs.
The Xu family is in dire need of money right now. They have four sons to support and the pressure is enormous.
The eldest son and the second son are already adults, and it will be the next two years before they get married, so the betrothal gifts and other things have to be prepared.
Their house is small, and several sons still sleep in one room. When the eldest and second sons get married, they will definitely have to build a new house.
Everything needs money! But his family has no money.
