Upon hearing this, Lin Chaonan immediately elbowed Lin Chaobei, causing Lin Chaobei to clutch his stomach and cry out in pain. He then begged Yue Jiuyue to help him get revenge.
"Pfft!"
Yue Jiuyue couldn't help but laugh.
"Alright, you two, just behave yourselves! I'm serious, you two should both think it over carefully, see where you want the land, how big the land should be, and what you want to plant in the future..."
"I'm only buying this land for you this once, okay? After that, I won't be taking care of you anymore. You'll have to fend for yourself! Hurry up and go, come back and let me know when you've chosen. The sooner it's done, the less trouble we'll have."
Yue Jiuyue didn't want to listen to Lin Chaobei's rambling anymore, so she pushed the two brothers out.
Lin Chaonan: (￣ｏ￣)
He wasn't dishonest!
Lin Chaobei said all the words, and he was the one making a fuss. How did he get dragged into this innocently?
Moreover, what does "supporting yourself from now on" mean?
"Third brother, Mother said we should support ourselves from now on. Is she angry with our eldest brother and therefore doesn't like us either, so she wants to separate us all?"
Lin Chaobei frowned, looking at the gate in the wall, his eyes full of worry.
Their mother must have been heartbroken by their eldest brother, right?
Lin Chaonan also frowned; he had also thought of this.
In front of the gate, two similar faces, with the same expression, eyes staring at the same spot, and with similar worries in their hearts. If Yue Jiuyue saw this, would her heart soften even a little?
"Third Brother, I want to choose the mountain behind us. It's closer to our home. We can open a gate in the wall so it'll be easier to come and go. If Mother really doesn't want to see us and separates us all, we won't have to take such a long detour to get home."
A mountain peak only costs ten taels of silver, and his mother was definitely willing to spend that money to buy it for him. He didn't expect much from the land, as long as the wild boars and the like in the mountains didn't come out and ruin his crops.
No, even if the crops are destroyed by wild boars, it doesn't matter. He'll have a perfectly legitimate excuse to have his mother support him!
Lin Chaonan glanced at Lin Chaobei and then said:
“Then I’ll take that hill next to you.”
The two brothers had already discussed it and figured there wasn't much to see, since it wasn't like they were choosing fertile land, so they simply pushed open the door and went home.
"Huh? Why are you back so soon?"
Yue Jiuyue was puzzled. Had ten minutes passed?
“Mom, we’ve both made our choices. We’ll each have a hilltop on the back mountain. You’re really willing to give that up, aren’t you?”
"Is it confirmed? Each person gets a mountain?"
Asking this question is essentially giving them another chance to choose.
Yue Jiuyue didn't care what their motives were for choosing those two mountains. The choice was entirely in their own hands. If anything bad happened in the future, like being ruined by wild boars or something, she asked them not to use the excuse of "it was all for her sake."
"Okay, that's the one."
Lin Chaobei nodded, as did Lin Chaonan.
Then let's wait for Lin Chaodong together.
Lin Chaodong went out the door; he really was going out to inspect the land.
In the morning, he took the opportunity to go back to his room and tell Liu about Yue Jiuyue's plan to buy land for them. At noon, the couple discussed it again and again, and finally decided to buy the land in the west of the village, because the fields there were the most fertile in the entire village!
