Unlike Lin Chaobei, Lin Chaonan doesn't think before he acts; he relies entirely on passion.
He felt that it wasn't a good idea when they went to the village chief to confirm the hilltops they had chosen. It wasn't obvious yet, but it would definitely cause conflict later.
The soil on the back mountain can't compare to that of the South Ridge, but it's much better than the sand and gravel of the East Ridge!
Although the three brothers all chose hilltops closer to the inner perimeter of the back mountain, it seems there are obvious disadvantages, namely that they are more likely to be visited by wild animals such as wild boars.
But what if a wall is built? Then the wild boars will be kept out, and there will be no external threat.
But what about Dongling, which Lin Chaodong chose? How many years will it take for sandy land to turn into soil? Lin Chaonan didn't know; he felt he might never see such a change in his lifetime.
Therefore, the differences between the four factions will become apparent. Judging from Lin Chaodong and Liu's current behavior, Lin Chaonan can easily imagine that this will inevitably lead to family conflicts.
What he's doing now is putting the four brothers on the same level. Whether they run the business well or poorly will depend entirely on their individual abilities.
"Why?"
Yue Jiuyue really wanted to know why Lin Chaonan made this suggestion.
She certainly has the money to buy three more mountains, so why does he insist on the mountains in Dongling? Just to be fair to everyone?
Unexpectedly, Lin Chaonan really did have this idea.
Of course, Yue Jiuyue supported it. It was just three mountain peaks, at most less than forty taels of silver. She would just buy them.
So, Village Chief Lin took a few people to Dongling to measure the land, and then took his two sons to the county town.
"No wonder he received such a reward from the emperor! These fields were bought by the hilltop!"
The clerk in charge of processing the official deeds at the county government office watched with envy. How many deeds had he processed already? Come on, there must be at least ten of these hilltops! He's damn rich!
"Hehe, the mountains where I live are all rocks, and not even wild grass grows on them, so they're cheap!"
Village Chief Lin didn't want rumors like "a rich landlady bought ten mountains" to spread in the village. That wouldn't be a good thing. What if that wicked person got their eye on them? Linjiagou Village couldn't afford any more trouble now; it only had about a hundred people left.
"Yes, that's true."
The clerk nodded in agreement. Ten taels of silver for a hilltop—that's the price of the worst kind of wasteland!
After the red contract was completed, Village Chief Lin thanked the county government profusely before raising his arm and wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
Sigh! I hope Chao Dong's mother won't buy any more land recently, otherwise, I'm afraid some rumors will really spread. Their village has already become famous because of the emperor's reward, and if this land purchase gets out, I don't know what kind of trouble it will cause.
Back in the village, as usual, Village Chief Lin went to Yue Jiuyue's house first and gave her the red contract.
"There were no mistakes this time; I watched the scribe write with my own eyes."
Being a village chief isn't easy! He felt more like a errand boy, the kind who didn't receive a monthly stipend or any rewards.
"Thank you so much, brother! You've gone to so much trouble, making your two nephews run back and forth so many times. Please sit down and have a bowl of ginger soup to warm yourself up."
Yue Jiuyue warmly served each of the three Lin family members a bowl of hot ginger soup.
