When Lin Dawei heard Lin Yuelan, his pair of sharp eyes looked forward.
Then, he said, “Lan ‘Er, I have an idea.”
She said, “uncle Wei, let’s hear it.”
Lin Dawei said, “My family doesn’t have any land, so I can use my name to buy the land, and after I buy the title deed, I’ll sell it to you. This way, those people won’t have anything to say about it, right?” Although Lin Dawei’s family was also deemed as jinxes, they only jinxed the women in their family. That was much better than Lin Yuelan.
Lin Yuelan was just a powerful jinx that she cursed her family, her parents, her relatives, and people close to her. Of course, these were all unproven. People just wanted to stick the blame on Lin Yuelan.
Lin Yuelan’s eyes brightened. She believed this could work. The land would still end up in Lin Yuelan’s hand. They didn’t sell it to her, right? Plus, the transaction would be voluntary. She wouldn’t force others to sell her their land.
Lin Yuelan nodded and said, “uncle Wei, this method is feasible. However,” She said very seriously, “Whenever you buy the land, I’ll buy it from you with another additional two taels of silver for each Mu on top of the original price.” Basically, she was going to pay Lin Dawei for the introduction fee.
Lin Dawei was helping her out of good intentions, but she couldn’t always take advantage of his good intentions. If she did, one day, she might turn him away. Lin Dawei was unrelated to her, so she couldn’t use him like this.
Moreover, Lin Dawei had been helping the original Lin Yuelan three years ago. From time to time, he would give her meat or animal fur so that she would not freeze to death in the winter and could eat some meat.
This kind of kindness had to be repaid. That was Lin Yuelan’s principle.
Lin Dawei was shocked. He immediately refused, “Lan ‘Er, I’m not helping you for money.”
Lin Yuelan said seriously, “uncle Wei, I know you want to help me. However, you’ll have to spend a lot of energy to help, so you deserve the extra money.”
Lin Dawei shook his head and said, “It’s not going to expend much of my energy…” He was interrupted by Lin Yuelan.
Lin Yuelan said, “uncle Wei, listen to me. I’m not buying just one or two mu of land. I want to buy a lot. If there’s 100 Mu, I’ll buy 100 Mu. If there are 1000 mu, I’ll buy 1000 mu. In short, the more the better. So, uncle Wei, I have had to trouble you for a long time. Besides,” Speaking of this, Lin Yuelan glanced at Lin Jiawei, who was a little tanned and strong and said, “Your family is a family of hunters. You know how dangerous this can be. Brother Jiawei is still young, and he hasn’t married or had children yet. Shouldn’t Uncle Wei consider Brother Jiawei’s future?”
Lin Yuelan was saying that Lin Dawei should consider giving Lin Jiawei a more stable future. He shouldn’t go to the mountains to find hunters every day. There were many dangerous animals in the mountains. What if he encountered a fatal danger?
Lin Dawei thought about it. Although his family had been hunters for generations and they learned about hunting when they were young, they knew how dangerous hunting in the mountains was.
Although they didn’t know how to farm, as a father, he didn’t want his child to risk his life every day as he did. Lin Dawei had had many dangerous close brushes with death in the mountains.
So if this could provide his only son with a better future. Why not?
