C97 (1/2)

The next day, Jiang Kevin had just carried the little lynx to the front gate of the Mu Xi Mountain when he saw Lin Jianmu running excitedly towards her.

”Boss, boss …”

Jiang Kevin took two steps back and reached out his hand to stop him from approaching. ”Calm down, calm down.”

Only then did Lin Jianmu stop two meters in front of Jiang Kevin. He used his arm to wipe the sweat on his head and giggled.

Jiang Kevin shook his head and took out a packet of tissue from his pocket, tossing it to him. ”Wipe it.”

”Sigh.” Lin Jianmu took out a tissue and wiped a few times before casually putting the paper ball into his pocket. Only then did he say to Jiang Kevin, ”Boss, I have a general idea of the matter of renting a house.”

Jiang Chen was taken aback before he cast a different look at Lin Jianmu. What a fast speed. Based on her previous estimations, he being able to complete it within three days was already quite impressive. It had only been a single day, and he had indeed improved significantly.

Jiang Kevin reached out his hand and patted Lin Jianmu's shoulder, ”That's right. ”Let's go to my office and talk.”

On the sofa in Jiang Kevin's office, Lin Jianmu was talking while spitting out saliva, ”That afternoon, I went to my house in the village and had a lot of fields, but my home's workers were all working outside. I was originally full of confidence, after all, the price we offered was much higher than in the village. ”Then I'll go door to door and ask around …”

As Jiang Chen listened, he picked up two cups. He then poured two cups of water from the canteen and placed one cup in front of Lin Jianmu, who had a gaping mouth.

”...” I think that won't do. If we continue at this speed, when I can collect 100 mu of land, it will take 2 to 3 days. Then, we can go to every house and get the 100 mu that we want.

Lin Jianmu said while feeling thirsty. He then picked up the cup of water in front of him and drained the cup of water in one gulp. Then, he said, ”Later on, I suddenly thought of something …”

Saying this, he paused for a moment. Only when he saw Jiang Kevin pour water into the cup in front of him did he realize that the water he was drinking just now was actually poured by his boss...

He had lost his life!

Lin Jianmu hurriedly took the kettle from Jiang Kevin. He wanted to help the boss pour the water, but he realized that the boss had water in his cup. In the end, he could only pour water for himself …

When he saw his embarrassed expression, he said with a faint smile, ”Don't mind it. Continue. I'm listening.”

When Lin Jianmu heard Jiang Chen's words, he knew that his boss was not a petty person and obediently put the matter down immediately.

”Later on, I thought of the fact that the villagers weren't the only ones who grew these fields in our village. There were also some barren lands here. ”Because it's been abandoned for too long, even my dad and the others forgot about it. People of our age don't even know that there's such a place in our village.”

Jiang Chen interrupted, ”Then how did you know?”

Lin Jianmu was talking excitedly when he suddenly heard Jiang Kevin's question. He could not help but give a coy smile. ”Heh heh, heh...”

Jiang Kevin was even more curious now. ”Tell me?”

Lin Jianmu looked conflicted. He didn't want to say it, but he was afraid that his boss would be unhappy. However, it would be too embarrassing for him to say it.

”Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to say it.”

Hearing Jiang Chen say so, Lin Jianmu gave a wry smile, ”Sigh, actually, it's nothing. Back then, when I was young and loved to eat, I saw a family of corn growing well, so I broke off a few corn cobs and roasted them on the ground. ”Who would have thought that the owner of the corn would catch him red-handed.”

Lin Jianmu was only eight or nine years old at the time, the age that even dogs hated. He had gone to the mountains to catch birds and fish, and then smashed other people's glass with sweet potatoes. He had done all sorts of mischievous things. Many times, he was found by the victims and beaten up by his parents. However, he would always forget to teach them a lesson when he hit them.

This time, he stole someone's corn, and the person who stole the corn got caught by the person who owned the corn. The owner of the infuriated corn chased after him with a stick.

Seeing that things were not going well, Lin Jianmu hurriedly ran towards the village. He knew that running home to avoid this person's attack would not help him avoid his mother's, so he decided to sneak into his grandfather's house at the edge of the village.

At that time, his eldest grandfather was still alive, so he quickly sent away the Corn King, who had not only chased after them but had also been cursing.

He said, ”Are you trying to take over our village and beat up our people? Isn't it enough for our Lin Family Village's children to eat a few of your corn? ”

It turned out that there was a flat hill outside the Lin Village's farmland. It was a pond that covered an area of over 100 mu. When he first saw the village, this pond had been distributed to the Lin Village.

After the earthquake more than forty years ago, the level of water in the ponds had risen, so much so that in dry years there was no water at all. It was impossible to grow things, but it was even worse to raise fish.

Twenty years ago, when the village was divided, there was still some water, but the village committee did not include this place. Not to mention that the people in the village couldn't even grow their own land here.

In the end, the village committee underwent a few changes. Plus, the pond was quite far from the village, so the people of Lin Village had forgotten about it.

However, the Lin Family Village had been neglected by some people.

Fifteen years ago, the water in the pond had dried up completely. The owner of the cornfield saw that the land was fertile and secretly planted with crops.

Later on, he realized that no one from the Lin Family Village had come to look for him, and his courage began to grow. By the time Lin Jianmu stole the corn, he had already occupied fifty mu of land.

But he didn't think that someone would tell him because he chased that stinking brat. How could he not be scared?
