C16 (2/2)
”Uncle, what's wrong with aunt?”
Lin Fengmao sighed, ”What else could it be? Isn't it your worried cousin?” I called last night and your cousin said she wouldn't be back. Last winter vacation? Your cousin didn't come back last year and said that she was really working outside. Your aunt and I couldn't beat her, so we let her be. But this year's May Day, she said that she was going to come back, but she didn't expect that she would change her mind at the last moment. And your cousin, he called in the morning and said he had no money and wanted money. He had been working for a year and didn't send any money home. Of these two enemies, not one of them is worth worrying about! ”
With that, Lin Fengmao sighed again, took the farm tools and went to work in the field.
Jiang Kevin stood in his spot and thought for a moment before he came to a realization.
The main reason why he put his cousin aside was because of his cousin. The uncle and his wife were afraid that someone like her mother would appear again.
Jiang Kevin, who had never seen anyone before, did not have a good idea either.
At lunch time, Lin Fengmao said to Jiang Chen, ”I'll invite the village head over for dinner tonight. At that time, I'll discuss with him what to do in detail.”
Just as Jiang Chen was about to nod his head, Lin De coughed and said, ”We'll talk to Lin Tong Shan after the Wenwen organized the housewarming party.”
Lin Fengmao and Jiang Kevin had to admit that the timing after the housewarming party was better.
The barren mountain was the property of the village. If they wanted to contract it, they would have to obtain the consent of the majority of the villagers. If she just signed a contract with the village but didn't agree with the villagers, it would be troublesome if someone complained about her when they didn't like her.
When he bought the house, Jiang had already promised to treat the entire village to a meal.
If she said that she wanted to contract the wasteland before this promise was fulfilled, someone would definitely take it as a promise that she was not allowed to keep. Simple things can get complicated.
And if Jiang Kevin was able to entertain everyone with good food and drinks instead of gift money, he would definitely leave a good impression on everyone. Even if someone were to mutter behind his back that it was useless for Jiang Kevin to bribe people. After all, using people's hands was not good enough, but drinking people's mouths was not good enough. When he made a decision, as long as he wasn't too thick-skinned, he would agree under everyone's eyes.
However, Jiang Chen never expected that these words would actually come from Linde.
Lin Fengmao was even more curious. As his son, he knew his father's temper the best. ”Dad, you don't object anymore?”
Lin De coldly snorted, ”Don't tell me that if I object to it, then I will not do anything to you?”
Jiang Kevin and Lin Fengmao looked at each other. Jiang Kevin touched his nose while Lin Fengmao shrunk his neck back. He did not say a word.
Because Linde was right. Even if he objected, Jiang Kevin would still do it.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Kevin stood up and came in front of Lin De. He bowed, ”Thank you, grandpa.”
Lin De was given a fright. He never expected Jiang Kevin to apologize to him in such a straightforward manner. He was momentarily at a loss of what to do. ”Um, you do not need to apologize to me. You, get up. Hurry up and get up.”
Jiang Kevin rose up and sat back down.
Nie Caijin nodded her head in gratification. Turning around to look at the old man, a hint of red entered her eyes. The elder tried his best to hold back his laughter.
And so, the three of them began to discuss.
Guo Caiyun brought the dishes in from the kitchen and coincidentally heard them discussing about contracting out the Desolate Mountain. She casually asked, ”Wenwen, how much do you want to contract?”
Jiang Kevin stood up and took the plate from her hand before placing it on the table. ”300 mu.”
Pow!
The table shook, and the soup on the plate was shaken out.
The people sitting around the table looked at the instigator of the attack, the ferocious look on Linde's face.
”I don't agree!”
Nie Caijin didn't expect the old man to suddenly explode. She stretched out her hand and grabbed Lin De's hand, pulling him down, ”Old man, weren't you fine just now? Why did you smash the table again?”
Lin De angrily shook off his wife's hand, ”That's because I thought she only wrapped up a small piece of it. Who would have thought that she would cover 300 mu of land all of a sudden? How could I not be angry!”
Nie Caijin agreed after thinking for a moment. She turned her head to look at Jiang Kevin, feeling worried.
”Wen Wen, 300 mu is too much. How can we afford that much money?”
Seeing that there was finally someone standing on his side, Lin De was very pleased. Instead, he lowered his voice and sincerely said, ”Wenwen, I know how you are feeling.”
Jiang Kevin blinked his eyes. He found the rapid change in Lin De's mood somewhat unacceptable.
”Grandfather, I …”
”I know, you were driven out by the Lin Clan, so I wanted to show you to them.”
”No …”
”But you can't be busy. With your current state, your small amount of money will soon be spent.” ”You are still a child right now. Right now, the most important thing for you is to study well, study well, and get into a good university. With so much knowledge, if you start a business at that time, grandpa will definitely not stop you.”
Jiang Kevin fell silent.
Seeing that she did not say a word, Linde thought that he was trying to convince Jiang Kevin. He looked complacently at his wife and son.
Jiang Chen thought for a moment and asked, ”Grandpa, how much money do you think I have?”
Linde rolled his eyes and thought about it, ”The Lin Family kicked you out, your parents, that company, and that house. You definitely didn't live in them. In a company as big as your parents', most of the family's money must be in the company. Furthermore, since you dare to take three hundred mu of barren hills in one go, I estimate that you only have three hundred thousand on you right now. ”
