Chapter 121 Such a grand gesture is a bit outrageous.
The heavy rain stopped and the sun came out, so Lin Luoxi and Lin Dayou didn't have to wear heavy raincoats and could walk much faster.
"Dayou, you're here too?" Lin Zhousheng was slightly surprised to see Lin Dayou next to Lin Luoxi. Wasn't it said that Lin Dayou disagreed with building the house?
Could it be that they came to stop them from going to the city?
"Brother Zhou, what are you saying? Building a house is such a big thing for our family, how could I, the pillar of the family, not go with you?" Lin Dayou couldn't help but roll his eyes at Lin Zhousheng when he heard his words.
"Oh, I heard from Luoxi that you disagreed with building a house. I thought you came here to stop us from going to the county government to process the land deed." Lin Zhousheng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Lin Dayou's words.
It's good that he's not confused; Lin Dayou being able to come along saves a lot of trouble.
"Building a house is a joyous occasion, why would I disagree?"
"I said this morning that we would not build houses for the time being, probably because we had too many concerns."
"But now I've figured it out. Building a house is mainly for my own comfort and to enjoy life. If I worry too much, I might as well not live at all."
After listening to Lin Zhousheng's words, Lin Dayou glanced at Lin Luoxi again, scratched his head embarrassedly, and explained.
"Dad, that's not what you said this morning. You said you were afraid the Lin family would covet our house, so you didn't want us to build it, right? Getting soaked in the rain has finally cleared your head." Lin Luoxi couldn't help but retort after hearing Lin Dayou's words.
She discovered that Lin Dayou was a good person in every way, except that he was too indecisive.
"Hehe..." Since the other person was his own daughter, he could only laugh awkwardly.
The three were in a hurry to get to the city on business, so they quickened their pace as they walked towards the city.
The three of them went straight to the government office after arriving in the city, instead of wandering around aimlessly.
The constables and yamen runners all recognized Lin Luoxi, Lin Dayou, and Lin Muzhousheng. When they saw Lin Luoxi coming towards their yamen, they all greeted her warmly.
"Young Miss Lin, Elder Brother Lin, Village Chief Lin, hello! You've come today..." When the constables and yamen runners saw Lin Luoxi and her two companions, all they could think of was that unforgettable meal they had eaten at the Lin family's house.
They wondered when they would be able to eat the Lin family's food again.
When Lin Dayou and Lin Zhousheng saw so many constables and yamen runners surrounding them, they tensed up and dared not relax for a moment, both with serious expressions on their faces.
When faced with these people's enthusiastic greetings, they still have to think about how to respond in order to leave a good impression on them.
"Brothers, the main reason we're here today is that my house is just too dilapidated. With the rain today, it's completely uninhabitable, so we're thinking of buying some land to build a house..."
Lin Luoxi didn't have many reservations about the enthusiasm of these constables and yamen runners. She treated them like acquaintances and chatted with them casually.
“Building a house is great! Your family should build a new house…” Upon hearing that Lin Luoxi and her group had come to buy land and build a new house, the constables’ eyes lit up.
"Yes, yes, you've come at the perfect time. There are preferential policies from above, and land is much more affordable than before. The more you buy, the bigger the discount..."
When the constables heard that Lin Luoxi's family was going to buy land and build a new house, they all got excited, as if they were the ones buying land and building a new house.
He also secretly shared the rumors he had just received at the yamen with Lin Luoxi.
I've always wanted to freeload a meal at the Lin family's house, and now the opportunity has finally arrived.
People admire strength, and since they also had a good impression of this brave and resourceful young girl, who was very pleasing to their eye, they were all willing to chat with Lin Luoxi about everyday things.
Lin Dayou and Lin Zhousheng stood there, stunned, watching Lin Luoxi speak confidently and freely with the constables.
They discovered that Lin Luoxi was adept at handling interpersonal relationships, so it seemed that whether they came or not didn't really matter.
"What are you all doing gathered here?" Master Yang's voice came from outside the crowd.
“Master, Miss Lin has come to buy land and build a house. You should give her a discount.” A young man who should be the head of the constables, upon hearing the master’s words, not only was he not afraid, but he also stood up to speak up for Lin Luoxi.
"Little Muqing, the way you're talking makes it sound like I'm some kind of mercenary old man." Master Yang glared at Muqing, who dared to speak to him like that, but he wasn't really angry.
"Master Yang, you are the most charming and handsome man around here, and you don't look old at all." The young man called Mu Qing immediately flattered Master Yang with sweet words upon seeing his expression.
"Get out of here, all you do is talk nonsense all day long. Luckily I'm not a girl." Master Yang was amused by Mu Qing's words, and he couldn't keep up the pretense on his face.
"Miss Lin, I heard you're planning to buy land and build a house. How much are you planning to buy?"
“However, our recent policies are quite lenient. I suggest that if your budget allows, the more you buy, the more cost-effective it will be.” Master Yang turned to look at Lin Luoxi.
Master Yang always felt that Lin Luoxi possessed a pure and innocent temperament, with skin as white as snow, extraordinary courage, and remarkable skills, making her completely unlike a country girl.
It looks somewhat familiar, but I don't know where I've seen it before.
Upon hearing Master Yang's words, the constables and yamen runners all looked at Lin Luoxi, naturally hoping that she could buy as much as possible.
This way, they would have a chance to freeload a meal.
Lin Dayou and Lin Zhousheng were now like invisible people; no one noticed their existence.
"Uncle Yang, I plan to buy the small hill behind my house and all the wasteland near my house." Lin Luoxi roughly stated the area she needed.
"Hiss~" Lin Dayou and Lin Zhousheng both gasped when they heard Lin Luoxi's words.
Lin Zhousheng: This girl is too extravagant! Such a huge piece of land, covering an area of no less than a thousand acres, how much money would that cost?
Lin Ta-yu: I must have been so wet from the rain that I started hallucinating. I wasn't saying I was going to buy land and build a house, how did it suddenly turn into buying land and building a house?
“This is quite large. Let me see how much area it is.” Master Yang was equally shocked by Lin Luoxi’s words.
However, how much to buy depends entirely on the buyer's wishes, as long as the money is available.
The constables and yamen runners thought they were hallucinating, and they all stared at Lin Luoxi in shock.
They wanted Lin Luoxi to buy as much as possible, but that was a bit outrageous. Could a country girl like her afford such a large sum of money?
"Okay, sure." Compared to the restlessness of everyone else present, Lin Luoxi remained completely calm.
