Chapter 526 Miss Lin San
Originally, the residential land of Huanxiyuan was enough to accommodate Shen Qingqian and his group. Later, when they rebuilt the house, Chief Justice Lu specifically asked them to build the extra residential land as well.
However, those ownerless houses only had a house frame covered with tiles. There was no yard and nothing inside the house.
The Lin family came suddenly and it was impossible for them to stay in the Shen family forever. Mrs. Lin took a fancy to the empty new houses and asked if they could rent them.
"I'm afraid that won't work," Wu said in embarrassment. "You know our status. This courtyard is public property, and so are those new houses. We have no say in the matter."
Old Madam Chen and Old Madam Liu exchanged a glance, and it was Old Madam Chen who spoke first, "Lin family, you haven't reported to the military yet, right? You need to report first, and then we'll see where you'll be assigned. You can't just stay there casually like that."
At this point, even if Mrs. Chen knew the identity of the Lin family, she would not shout it out, but only gave a few reminders.
"That's right. You just arrived and you came so suddenly. We can't make the decision about our yard. Why don't you go and ask?" Old Mrs. Liu said quickly.
Mrs. Lin frowned, as if she was thinking about what to do.
Mrs. Wu suggested, "How about I ask Xiao Si to take you to ask Chief Justice Lu, but he's out in the fields and won't be back until noon."
In other words, the earliest you can go is in the afternoon.
Mrs. Lin said gratefully, "Thank you very much. We'll go ask again this afternoon."
At this moment, a concubine who had been standing behind Madam Lin suddenly spoke up, "Mother, we should find out where Chief Justice Lu is right now and go ask him."
"This..." Mrs. Lin was obviously hesitant.
Lin Siyu walked forward, took her arm and chuckled, "The sooner we find out how to settle down, the sooner we can move out of Aunt Wu's house. If we bother her too much, Grandma will definitely feel bad."
"That's what you said, then let's go now," he said, looking at Wu, "Sister, please tell me where Lu Xing is."
Mrs. Wu mentioned a place and roughly how to get there, then said, "Actually, there's no need to be so anxious. My second daughter-in-law and little granddaughter are still well taken care of by you, so it's fine if you stay with us for a while."
Mrs. Lin said a few polite words and left with the third Miss Lin, Lin Siyu, who had just spoken.
The two walked out of the yard, and only when they could no longer see the people from the Joy Courtyard did Mrs. Lin stop and ask, "Why are you so anxious?"
"Mother, didn't you see just now that when you said you wanted to rent those rooms, several families were winking at each other, and then someone left the yard first." Lin Siyu sighed.
Mrs. Lin was puzzled, "What are they doing?"
"Mother should have seen it too. There are quite a few of them, and those houses are ownerless. Several families have children of marriageable age. I guess they want to leave those houses to their own family members." Lin Siyu said thoughtfully.
Mrs. Lin frowned, "Then what should we do? I don't know why, but when I saw the Shen family, I felt that we should stay with them, so that we can have a good life in the future."
Her intuition has always been accurate, and it is thanks to this intuition that she has avoided many troubles over the years.
Lin Siyu thought for a moment and said, "They don't have time to go find Chief Lu yet. Let's go quickly and get ahead of them. We need to find a way to stay in Huanxiyuan."
