The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich Chapter 408 - The Villagers' Decisions

Chapter 408: The Villagers’ Decisions

Translator: Lonelytree 

The village chief’s wife looked at the empty courtyard and said to her husband, “old man, it’s almost dark, but no one has come. Could it be that everyone is really not willing to sell their land to Lan ‘Er?”

Lin Yiwei said, “let’s wait a little longer! Perhaps someone will come when it gets dark.” During the day, they probably didn’t want to come over because they were afraid of being seen.

Just as Lin Yiwei had said, someone came to their door when it was dark.

“Changxing, Changxing’s wife.” Lin Yiwei looked at Zhou Xiaoliu and said, “Welcome.”

“Uncle village chief. “Lin Changxing and Zhou Xiaoliu said respectfully.

“What’s the matter?” Lin Yiwei asked deliberately.

The couple was a little anxious. After that, Lin Changxing took out his own land deed and said to Lin Yiwei in embarra.s.sment, “uncle Li Zheng, we want to sell this land to Lan ‘Er. This is the land deed.”

Lin Yiwei did not take the t.i.tle deed. Instead, he stared at the couple seriously. “Did your parents agree to you selling the land?”

Lin Changxing’s family only had one son, Lin Changxing. Even though the son was married, the old couple were still the masters of the family. Would the old couple be willing to sell their land to Lin Yuelan considering how superst.i.tious they were?

Lin Changxing nodded and said, “they’re willing. My parents asked us to bring this t.i.tle deed over.”

Lin Yiwei was a little surprised. “Your parents actually agreed?!” He remembered that Lin Changxing’s parents used to point at the Lan ‘Er and call her ugly names. It was obvious how much they hated her.

But they were the first to agree to sell their land to Lan ‘Er.

Lin Changxing felt a little awkward when he was asked this, but Zhou Xiaoliu continued, “We were discussing this matter with our parents, and our son was by the side. Our son kept saying give, give. Our parents loved their grandson so much that they immediately asked us to send the land deed over.”

Their son was very young. He was just mumbling. However, people of this era believed that young children were guided by G.o.d.

Lin Changxing’s son kept shouting that they should give. Lin Changxing’s parents were a little superst.i.tious. They believed that their grandson was being guided by G.o.d. In addition, they doted on this grandson very much, so they did not hesitate to send the husband and wife over with the t.i.tle deed.

Lin Yiwei listened to Zhou Xiaoliu’s words and squinted his eyes as if he was in deep thought.

The land deed that Lin Changxing brought over were more than three mu. Lin Yiwei gave the money to the young couple at 16 taels per mu.

When the young couple received the money, they were extremely excited.

There was a lot of money, a total of fifty taels. This was the first time they had seen so much money.

After the young couple left, Lin Yiwei’s wife asked her husband, “Is this real? They’re selling the land because of what a child said?” A two-year-old child can’t even speak properly.

Lin Yiwei immediately had an idea and said to his wife, “old woman, go outside and talk a walk.”

Although the sky was a little dark, most people had already had dinner. After that, they would gather under the big tree and chat, letting themselves relax after a tiring day.

They had been husband and wife for decades, so they had developed a tacit understanding. Grandma Zhou said, “Old man, you mean…”

Lin Yiwei nodded, “That’s right.”

…

Under the big tree, groups of two and three had already gathered together to chat.

However, this time, the topic of their conversation was whether to sell the land to Lin Yuelan.

“Sell it. Anyway, those lands couldn’t be used to grow anything. It would be a waste to leave them empty. It was better to sell them for some money.”

The price of sixteen taels per mu was a lot.

Every household had a few Mus of land at that place. Therefore, if they sold it, they would definitely get a lot of money.

“I’m not selling.” Someone said firmly, “what if we sell it to her and our family gets jinxed? It’ll be too late for regrets then.”

As soon as she said this, everyone fell silent.
