Chapter 78 House for Rent
Lin Qingxiang knew the situation on Lin Qin's side, so he didn't say anything else. He just said, "It seems that your eldest nephew is going to get married, and the object seems to be from the farm. Lin Zhi and his wife have been very proud these days. But I heard from Lao Bie's wife that your brother wants to live in your house, saying that there is no room at home."
The layout of Lin Zhi's house is exactly the same as Lin Yi's. Lin Yi has two daughters and Lin Zhi has two sons.
The eldest son must have a new house when he gets married. Either the village needs to allocate a piece of land to build a house, or they have to find a way to partition it. Either way will cost money. The most worry-free way is to let the younger son live with Lin Yi, and their shed will be just right for the eldest son and his wife.
Lin Yi's face darkened instantly, "I don't agree, but they can still rob me openly?"
Lin Qingxiang shook his head. "Of course not. Even if they want to, the captain can't agree to it! But they will definitely spread bad things about you in the village."
Lin Yi shrugged. "Haven't they been gossiping about me enough over the years? Anyway, if they ask you, just say that I don't agree. I'll let Wen Jun go back with me."
Lin Qingxiang said nothing more and concentrated on his work.
It would take two or three days to carefully lay down more than a hundred square meters of floor tiles.
These days, Lin Qingxiang goes out early and comes back late, so Lin Zhi can't catch him at the right time.
Without waiting for Lin Zhi to come again, Lin Yi and Chen Wenjun went back to Shanglin Village together.
When Lin Zhi and his wife got the news, they rushed over immediately.
As soon as he entered the door, he didn't say hello or ask about Lin Yi's injury. He just shouted, "Brother, Jianqiang is looking for a marriage, and the girl's side insisted that we build a house before they agreed. He is your nephew, you can't just ignore him!"
Chen Wenjun was speechless after hearing this.
Lin Yi didn't even give Lin Zhi a good look. His legs were stretched so long, but Lin Zhi didn't even look at him and asked him for help. What did he think of him?
"Just build a house if I tell you to. There's no point in blaming me."
Seeing that Lin Yi refused so straightforwardly, Lin Zhi was immediately unhappy, "Brother, you don't have a son, and Jianqiang and Jianguo will still be against you in the future. You can't just ignore everything and count on your nephew! There is no such good thing in the world!"
"That's right!" Li Lian said indignantly.
Lin Yiqi laughed, "Did I tell Jianqiang Jianguo to smash the pot for me? Did I say I would count on them in the future? I didn't say anything, but you guys arranged it for me first!"
Lin Zhi acted as if it was a matter of course, "You don't have a son, so who can you rely on if not my son? Lin Ying and Lin Qin have already married, who cares about you!"
Chen Wenjun immediately said, "I'll take care of it."
Lin Zhi glared at Chen Wenjun with dissatisfaction, his eyes full of contempt, "What does it have to do with you? This is my Lin family's family affair!"
Lin Yi immediately got angry and stood up and yelled, "This is my son-in-law, how can he have nothing to do with it! Lin Zhi, I'm telling you! In the future, I won't give you my things even if I sell them, so don't worry about it!"
Lin Zhi's face changed drastically, and he jumped three feet high in anger, "If you dare to sell it, you will be a sinner of our Lin family!"
"I dared to do it! What's it to you?" Lin Yi shouted confidently.
Lin Zhi and his wife never expected that Lin Yi, who had never done anything to them before, could be so powerful. They were furious, but they really couldn't do anything about Lin Yi.
After the two were kicked out by Lin Yi, they became more and more unwilling to accept this and turned around to find the captain.
"Captain, my eldest brother has really lost his mind. He was actually instigated by his son-in-law to buy a house and land. If his son-in-law doesn't care about him in the future, we will still have to support him. You can't just ignore him!"
Lin Zhi and his wife looked worried, as if they were completely worried about Lin Yi.
When the captain heard this, he also became anxious and hurried to Lin Yi's house.
Lin Yi was seen sitting on the doorstep with his injured leg stretched straight.
As soon as the captain arrived, he noticed his leg and asked, "Is your injury healed?"
Lin Yi's eyes were red with emotion, "Captain, you are so thoughtful. I have been back to the village for so long, and you are the only one who cares about my injury."
When these words were spoken, the expressions of the captain and Lin Zhi and his wife were particularly interesting.
Lin Yi ignored them and dragged a stool for the captain to sit on.
The captain sat down, glanced at Chen Wenjun who was busy in the shed, and asked in a low voice: "I heard you want to sell your house and land?"
"Who said that?" Lin Yi asked back.
The captain immediately turned around and glared at Lin Zhi and his wife.
Li Lian put her hands on her hips and yelled angrily, "You just said you wanted to sell the house and the land."
Lin Yi sneered and lowered his eyes. "I remember what I said originally: Don't even think about taking my house and land. I'd rather sell it than give it to someone else. What's the problem?"
The captain understood and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you don't sell it. It's a good thing to have a house and a piece of land in this village. It will give me a place to live when I get old, right?"
His words were rather obscure, but Lin Yi understood them.
"Don't worry, Captain. I know what's going on!"
At this moment, Chen Wenjun took out the things he had packed. When he saw the captain coming over, he nodded at him and said, "Dad, your clothes and thick quilt are all here, and there is also Aqin's things, which are packed in a big bag. I have to borrow a cart to push them back later."
The captain was not calm at first sight. "What? Are you moving?"
Lin Yi suppressed his desire to show off and explained in a reserved manner, "My son-in-law just built a two-story house, and the second floor is being renovated. He specially reserved a room for me and asked me to move in.
I was not happy about it at first, but they kept persuading me to come back and pack my things and rent out my house.”
When Lin Zhi and his wife heard this, they felt jealous and angry.
"Brother, what do you mean? Your eldest nephew has no place to live when he gets married, but you don't give him the house and even want to rent it out. How could he have such a cold-blooded uncle like you!"
Li Lian angrily accused Lin Yi, her expression distorted due to jealousy and unwillingness.
Lin Yi didn't plan to talk nonsense with her at all, but explained to the captain: "Captain, after all, I am not Wen Jun's biological father, but his father-in-law. I can't live and eat for free in my son-in-law's house, so I want to rent this house out and pay the rent to Aqin. This way, even if we live in it, we don't have to worry about others gossiping, right?"
The captain agreed with him, looked at Chen Wenjun who was silent, and after a moment of silence, he patted Lin Yi on the shoulder and said, "I'll ask if there are any people who want to rent the house for you in the next few days. I think it will be a long-term lease, as short as half a year or as long as three to five years."
There are many families in the village who are facing housing shortages like Lin Zhi's family. It's not that they don't want to build a house, but they can't raise the money. Some are unwilling to borrow money or cannot borrow that much money, so renting a house can help provide some relief.
"The rent will be based on the village standard. I'll give you the key, and you can help me rent it out and collect the rent. I'll ask you for the rent later. Is that okay with you?" Lin Yi stated his plan in one breath, with no intention of giving Lin Zhi and his wife any chance to argue.
