Chapter 58 Three Sons and Three Bowls of Water
In the evening, the Lin family members were not busy cooking, but hurried to see Lin Sanqi's future new house.
When she saw the yard full of weeds and a dilapidated pavilion, Jin Caifeng was so anxious that her eyes almost fell out:
"Ah, kid, how can you live in a place like this? It's deserted and full of snakes, rats, insects and mosquitoes. It's a really good place, but it was taken away long ago. How could you still stay here?"
Lin Gancao was also a little anxious:
"How about this, Jiageng is still young, so he can sleep with us. We can leave half of our east room for you, and you can move out when you get a good house in the future, okay?"
When Lin Sanqi heard his elder brother's suggestion, he felt quite grateful.
As the saying goes, it is easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away. If half of the house is really divided out, if Lin Sanqi doesn't leave in the future, this half of the house will belong to him forever, and the old family will definitely suffer.
Didn’t you see that the second brother’s couple hid far away and didn’t say a word?
Lin Kucan didn't care and looked around the garden within the garden with a smile. He seldom came to the back garden and didn't know the layout of the place.
But after taking a closer look, he really figured out the trick, so he waved to his youngest son:
"Qizi, do you see that brick wall and archway in front? If you push the button there, this huge garden will belong to you. Do you want me to talk to Dean Shen and Section Chief Quan?"
Lin Sanqi laughed out loud:
"Dad, we're on the same page. I've already discussed this with Section Chief Quan, and he's agreed. This waterside pavilion and this small garden will be registered as a hospital warehouse. From now on, this land will belong to me."
Lin Kucan also laughed: "Sly, smart, worthy of being my son."
Jin Caifeng turned from sadness to joy when she heard this:
"Really? This little garden will be all yours from now on? That's great! If we need to build a few houses in this yard in the future, my lovely grandchildren will have a place to live. Hehehe~~~"
Lin Duzhong and Pei Xuehua both curled their lips. They still insisted on living in the main house in the courtyard. That was the proper house. What good was this desolate house out in the wild? It smelled musty.
Lin Kucan toured the house again, inside and out, but there was one thing he was not satisfied with:
"This house is hot in the summer and cold in the winter. We need to find a way to renovate it. I'll go to the logistics department tomorrow and I'll pay for it on behalf of my son."
The eldest brother Lin had no objection, but the second brother Lin was unhappy when he heard it, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he poked his wife.
Pei Xuehua understood immediately, and then continued:
"Dad, building a house right now is a big deal. The materials and labor will cost hundreds of dollars. You still have grandchildren, and there will be more in the future. You can't spend all your retirement money."
Jin Caifeng raised her eyebrows and was about to lose her temper, but was stopped by Lin Sanqi:
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. We've separated now, so how could I take advantage of Dad? I've already made an agreement with Section Chief Quan. He'll get the materials and labor for me, and I'll pay for it myself. Dad and Mom don't have to pay out of their own pockets."
Lin Lao Er pretended to be unhappy and cursed:
"We're all family, why are we so divided? Seriously, I'm 23 years old and have my own ideas. Do I need you to interfere?"
Everyone present knew that this was a reference to Lin Sanqi, meaning, you are 23 years old, how dare you rely on your parents for support?
You have to know that Lin's father and mother have a lot of money and gold, and they are still making money. If they give them all to Lin Lao San, the youngest son will get a great advantage.
If Mr. and Mrs. Lin's money were kept, the three sons could divide the inheritance equally after the two old people passed away.
So Lin Duzhong and Pei Xuehua are very smart. They use words to provoke Lin Sanqi from time to time, making him feel embarrassed to take extra money.
Lin Kucan listened to his second son and his wife's words without saying anything. If he scolded his second son's wife at this time, it would only cause unrest in the family. Wasn't this what he feared when he divided the family property?
Besides, he knew in his heart that his youngest son was a "dragon crossing the river" and did not need the help of them, the old couple, at all.
"Alright, alright, since Qizi has his own ideas, let him do it himself. Let's go home. I'm hungry."
After the old man said this, the Lin family members went back to their rooms to prepare dinner.
After returning home, Jin Caifeng was very dissatisfied with her second son. She kept complaining and was in a bad mood.
But when she opened the rice jar, she suddenly found that there was a lot of rice stored at home, which made Jin Caifeng's mood improve greatly for a moment. Food is life.
"Honey, look at how much rice Qizi brought back. Should we give some to the eldest and second eldest families?"
Lin Kucan said without raising his head while reading a book:
"No need to share, just the three of us. If you care about your grandchildren, just let them come and eat with us. Qizi worked hard to get this rice, so let's not be pushovers and disappoint Qizi."
Jin Caifeng touched the rice and said with emotion:
"I never thought we didn't enjoy the blessings of the eldest and second children, but the blessings of the third child. This child had it so hard. We were not around for those 10 years, and I don't know how he managed..."
"It's all thanks to our ancestors that our youngest son returned home healthy and strong, and that he was able to keep us from starving."
"Yes, may our ancestors bless us..."
During dinner, the news that Lin Sanqi was assigned to the waterside pavilion in the back garden spread quickly to every household. After dinner, everyone was discussing the matter while fanning themselves.
Bao Yansheng asked in confusion, "Do you think the Lin family kid is really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? Can people live in the back garden?"
Matchmaker Wang lowered her voice and said in a mysterious voice:
"I heard that many people died in that pond during the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. The maids and concubines who couldn't survive jumped into the water and drowned. They were in a panic at night."
This resonated with Ma Dazhuang, who gestured excitedly:
"One time I went to the back garden, and guess what? I saw a snake that big. It stood up straight when it saw someone, spitting out its tongue and trying to bite. Oh my god, it was so scary. I wouldn't even live in this back garden for free."
"This Lin Sanqi can just wait to freeze to death in the winter. If you want a house, you should live in this proper courtyard."
"Exactly. We live so well here. It's not Lin Sanqi's turn."
Hou Daya seemed to see through everything at this time and said proudly:
"In my opinion, even Lin Laoguang is partial. The eldest and second sons live in the main house, and the youngest son gets a shabby house. It's not fair. Just wait for the brothers to fight in the future."
"Who says it's not true? I guess they deliberately abandoned their youngest son 10 years ago to avoid any more burdens."
"Oh, how can there be such cruel parents in the world!"
"I knew at first glance that Jin Caifeng wasn't a good person. Southerners have pointed faces and monkey cheeks, and they look mean..."
