His three children all wanted their own rooms.
He did not want his children to hate him.
“Alright then. When are you going to pay?” Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife’s expression became better.
“Tomorrow. We have to go back and prepare.”
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife frowned.
Before she could say anything, the village chief spoke.
“Alright then. I’ll come back tomorrow after seven in the morning. I’ll help your two families write a contract.”
Everyone hurriedly thanked him.
“Since the matter has already been settled, Fourth Uncle Lin and his family will not stay in the Lin family’s mansion for long. I hope you can all get along well.” At this point, the village chief looked at the people from the Lin family. His gaze lingered on Second Uncle Lin for a long time.
They looked a little embarrassed, but they all nodded.
Fourth Uncle Lin’s family was about to leave, so there was indeed no need for them to continue looking for trouble.
“Alright, since the matter has been discussed. You can all go back!” As the village chief spoke, he waved at them.
“Then we’ll leave first!” First Uncle Lin said.
Seeing the village chief nod, he led his family away.
Second Uncle Lin cupped his hands at the village chief and left with his family.
The small courtyard that was bustling quickly quieted down.
The village chief sighed and looked at Fourth Uncle Lin and his wife.
“Is the plan to build a house confirmed?”
Fourth Uncle Lin’s heart skipped a beat as he looked at his wife.
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife smiled and quickly walked towards the village chief.
“Yes! We want to buy the piece of land next to Uncle Wang’s house.”
“I was just about to discuss it with Uncle Li.”
The village chief glanced at Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife.
“That’s possible. However, the place is relatively large. If you bought all of it and went through the procedures, you will probably need 10 taels of silver.” The village chief frowned again.
10 taels of silver for a homestead was not cheap. Did they have so much money?
As expected, when Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife heard this, her expression darkened.
However, it only took a moment for her to regain her composure and look at the village chief.
“Deal! 20 taels it is! Only with a bigger place could we build a big courtyard. It will be good for the future!” She said heartily.
The village chief was a little surprised, but then he nodded.
“Yes, as long as you’ve thought it through. After that, you can come to me to pay at any time.” He said.
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife was delighted.
She really wanted the village chief to do it immediately, but after thinking about it, she was not in a hurry.
“Tomorrow, after we hand over the deed, we’ll have to trouble you to help us transfer the ownership of that piece of land.”
The village chief nodded.
“Sure! Then, I’ll go to the court.”
“Sorry to trouble you, Uncle Li!” Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife hurriedly thanked him.
The village chief raised his hand to stop Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife from continuing to thank him.
“It’s my responsibility.”
“Since the matter has been confirmed, I’ll leave now.” With that, the village chief stood up.
Fourth Uncle Lin immediately looked at his wife.
“I’ll send you off!” Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife hurriedly said.
She got up.
The village chief did not refuse and allowed Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife to send him to the entrance of the courtyard.
After that, he asked Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife to stay and left.
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife stood in place for a while. She waited until the village chief had gone a little further before returning to the courtyard.
After exchanging glances with her husband, she helped him back into the house.
After she helped Fourth Uncle Lin to the bed, Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife couldn’t help but laugh.”Boss, it’s done!”
Fourth Uncle Lin laughed along.
“Yes, it’s done! We will be able to leave this place very soon…”
The next day.
As expected, First Uncle Lin and his family came with the money.
After that, under the witness of the village chief, they signed the contract and went through the procedures.
Now, they only needed to wait for the documents to be sent to the court for filing, and Fourth Uncle Lin’s house would completely belong to First Uncle Lin.
As for Fourth Uncle Lin and his wife, after receiving the house payment, they immediately bought the empty land next to Uncle Wang’s house from the village chief.
When the others saw this, they were all a little surprised.
After that, they felt a little jealous.
They bought such a large piece of land. How big was the house they were going to build…
However, even though they were jealous, they couldn’t say anything. Soon, they left.
The village chief and Fourth Uncle Lin completed the procedures before leaving.
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife held the document given by the village chief with excitement on her face.
Then, she put the documents away and hurried out.
The house had already been sold. Every day they stayed in it, they had to pay rent.
The land was also bought. The earlier they started construction, the more money they could save..
