Chapter 410: The Villagers’ Decision
Translator: Lonelytree
As he spoke, he took out two hundred tael silver notes from his pocket and handed them to Lin Yuelan. “Grandpa has some money here. You can use it first.”
Lin Yuelan was a little touched. There were many who would kick others when they were down, but they wouldn’t do the opposite. She would remember this favor. When the time came, she would have to return it.
She was indeed short of money because she had never thought that so many people would sell the title deed to her on the first day. Therefore, the 400 taels that she gave the village chief should have been almost spent, and she did not have much money on hand.
If someone were to sell their land again and she had no money to pay, that would be bad.
Therefore, Lin Yuelan decided to accept his good intentions.!!
She said to Lin Yiwei, “thank you, Grandpa village chief. I’ll definitely return the money after some time.”
Lin Yiwei shook his head and said, “girl, there’s no hurry. You can return it whenever you want.” Although two hundred taels was a lot, they didn’t need it for the time being.
Lin Yuelan said, “Grandpa village chief, I went to pick medicinal herbs again some time ago. I brought them to the Lin family’s medicine shop in town to exchange for money. However, two days ago, shopkeeper Lin said that he had a better channel to sell the herbs. He’ll probably be back in two days.”
It would take at least four days to come back to the provincial capital.
It had been two days, and he was expected to be back in another two days.
Lin Yiwei’s eyes widened when he heard that Lin yuelan had picked another expensive herb. How was this girl’s luck that good?
However, what kind of medicinal herb was it that required manager Lin of the Lin family’s medicine shop to look for a big buyer outside of town?
However, Lin Yiwei was worried about other things. “girl, did you pick these herbs from the deep mountains of Mount Da Ao again?”
Lin Yuelan nodded and replied, “yes.”
“Nonsense!” Lin Yiwei’s face darkened, and he scolded, “Don’t you know how dangerous it is inside? Even if you have little White’s protection, what if little white encounters a group of wolves and wild boars? Little White might not be able to protect itself, much less you.
“Plus, those rare herbs are mostly protected. What if you were injured by them?”
Lin Yiwei did not know about his supernatural ability, so his worry was deep.
Of course, Lin Yuelan would never tell anyone about her secret. She smiled and said to Lin Yiwei, “Grandpa village chief, don’t worry. I know what to do. I promise you that I will protect myself and not let any wild beasts hurt me!”
Lin Yiwei left with a doubtful expression, but he muttered, “this girl, why is she so fearless?”
Lin Yuelan took the title deed and made marks one by one on the floor plan she had drawn.
On the other side, Lin Deshan, who had just returned from the provincial capital, didn’t even bother to stop at Ning An Town. Instead, he drove a carriage toward the Lin family Village.
He still had a few silver notes worth ten thousand taels in his arms. He felt uneasy in his heart, but he still looked calm on the outside.
On the way to the Lin family Village, they passed by a mountain road. The grass and trees on both sides of the road made it easy for people to hide, which made Lin Deshan mountain even more uneasy.
He drove the carriage, wanting to quickly leave this road.
But…
Suddenly, a piece of wood appeared on the road, blocking the carriage’s path.
Lin Deshan quickly got out of the carriage to check.
This piece of wood was placed horizontally, and it was obvious that it was there to intercept carriages on the road.
Lin Deshan looked around but didn’t see anyone. He frowned and mumbled, “no one is here. Is someone playing a prank on me?”
Then, he bent over and moved the stick aside.
“Stop, don’t move!” A person suddenly appeared out of nowhere, holding a knife, and said very fiercely, “I finally caught the wood thief!”
Lin Deshan was shocked by the sudden appearance of the vicious man. He complained to himself, ‘it seems like I have really encountered a robbery.’
However, Lin Deshan said calmly, “Sir, is there a misunderstanding? I’m definitely not a thief!”
The ferocious man said, “Hmph, cut the crap. If I say you’re a thief, then you’re a thief.”
