"Okay, I'll go home and tell my mom. I'll trouble you to take another measurement then."
Although he was not entirely satisfied with the result, Lin Chaodong did not act or speak with much emotion, after all, he was a junior and was used to it.
After seeing Lin Chaodong off, Village Chief Lin shook his head as he watched Lin Chaodong's retreating figure, then went back without saying anything.
"Mother, I've found a good spot, it's in Nanling..."
Lin Chaodong rushed home excitedly, eager to tell Yue Jiuyue that he had made his intentions clear, but he was afraid that the two brothers would eventually set their sights on those lands after looking around.
You know, although the land in Nanling can't be called fertile land, it is the second best land in the village. In the past, the family wanted to buy it but had nowhere to buy it. Today, he had to use a lot of persuasion to ask Village Chief Lin to help him buy it. If he doesn't act quickly, what if his two younger brothers also set their sights on Nanling?
There's only so much land, not enough for three people to share!
Lin Chaodong had completely forgotten that his family didn't even have ten mu of wasteland before. It seems that Yue Jiuyue's purchase of the mountain land broadened his "vision," making him now think that twenty mu of land is too little.
He made up his mind, but he didn't expect that his two younger brothers were right next to their mother. The three of them were sitting together happily in the sun, looking very content!
"Third brother, fourth brother, you two are back so soon!"
Lin Chaodong said awkwardly.
"Well, seeing how fast you're running, you must really care about the land. We were thinking of taking a break and waiting for you to take a look at it together. I wonder which one you've got your eye on? We brothers can divide it up."
Lin Chaobei rattled off a whole bunch of things, making Lin Chaodong's face twitch. He thought to himself, "Shameless!" He actually wanted to take advantage of someone else!
What he thinks in his heart is not important. What is important is that he is not the one making the decision. Since he can no longer "eat alone", he can only leave the decision to his mother.
“Mom, I asked the village chief if we could sell a few acres of the fertile land in the west of the village to our family. The village chief didn’t agree, so I begged him to ask the villagers if anyone was selling land in Nanling. The village chief helped me ask and said there were about twenty acres. So, I rushed back to tell you this good news!”
Lin Chaodong smiled smugly, after all, he had fulfilled one of the original owner's wishes.
"About twenty mu of land... If it's enough to reach twenty-four mu, then it would be just right for each of you four brothers to have six mu of land."
Upon hearing Yue Jiuyue's words, Lin Chaodong's smugness vanished completely, replaced by disbelief.
What? Six acres of land per person? That's not fair!
In any family, the eldest son receives the same treatment as his brothers. Even if he doesn't get 70% or 80%, he should at least get half!
But looking at his mother and two younger brothers, he really couldn't bring himself to say it.
Who told him to have just angered everyone!
Seeing that Lin Chaodong didn't speak again, but only pursed his lips, Yue Jiuyue didn't care what his little thoughts were and said directly:
"Let's go to the village chief's house and settle the land issue today."
Yue Jiuyue got up, and Lin Chaonan and Lin Chaobei immediately followed. No one cared what Lin Chaodong wanted to say or why he didn't say it.
We're all family, what can't we just say directly? Even if you want to gain something for yourself, what's wrong with just saying it?
If Lin Chaodong had been straightforward, Yue Jiuyue might have actually agreed, since he could be considered honest and upright.
