Transmigrating To The Ancient Times With Lu's Convenience

Chapter 53

Chapter 53: Property Hunting

Chen Xiao Cai had cooked dinner when Lu Lin and Chen Xiao Mi arrived home.

Chen Xiao Cai used to cook dinner for his brothers when Chen Xiao Mi ventured into mountains, he wasn't great at it, but it was the thought that counted.

Lu Lin had been responsible for cooking since he married into this family, but Chen Xiao Cai would still occasionally cook when Lu Lin was too busy. Chen Xiao Cai's cooking skills had improved a lot thanks to all the observing he had done when Lu Lin cooked.

"Big Brother, Lin Gege, why are you guys so late today?" Chen Xiao Cai asked.

Chen Xiao Mi told Chen Xiao Cai what had happened in the mountain.

"Those mountain people are leading a hard life, aren't they?" Chen Xiao Cai shook his head.

Chen Xiao Mi and his two little brothers had spent a few nights in the mountains before hunted the tiger and bough the house they were living in, so Chen Xiao Cai felt so sorry for the Qins because he knew what poverty could do to people firsthand.

Seeing how sad Chen Xiao Cai looked, Lu Lin changed the subject by asking him whether he had heard anything interesting in the village.

Chen Xiao Cai was popular among the kids, the other kids would just tell him all matters, whether important or trivial.

"The Lus are officially selling farmland now, they are selling a mu of inferior farmland for 10 tales, the villagers all say the Lus are robbing money."

"What? 10 tales for a mu of inferior farmland, that's ridiculous!" exclaimed Chen Xiao Mi. Farmland were less valuable in trouble times like this. A mu of inferior farmland's market price was 7 or 8 taels, a mu of average farmland 11 or 12 taels, a mu of great farmland 15 taels.

The Lus were selling their inferior farmland for the price of average farmland, they were just being greedy. However, there were some villagers who were looking to buy some farmland, so maybe the Lus could have their way.

"What a shame it's the Lus who are selling farmland." Chen Xiao Mi shook his head.

Lu Lin gave Chen Xiao Mi a meaningful look as if he were absorbed in thought.

Lu Lin and Chen Xiao Mi went to see the Qins the next day, they brought rice and some preserved meat with them.

Qin Yi was doing better and now he had come round. The Qins were so grateful for Lu Lin and Chen Xiao Mi, Qin Yi struggled to lean against the bed to express his thanks in person.

Lu Lin exclaimed in his heart that the mountain people had sturdy physique, he couldn't believe it just took Qin Yi a day to come round.

Lu Lin guessed Qin Lang and Qin Ming must have told Qin Yi about the expensive liquor because Qin Yi appeared a bit embarrassed on seeing them, he kept saying he would return them. He had even asked his kids to kowtow to them. Lu Lin turned him down sternly.

As a person who was transmigrated from the modern society, Lu Lin was neither gullible nor innocent, but he also wasn't cold-hearted, he would never just sit back and watch someone die in front of him.

Lu Lin let out a sigh of relief when he and Chen Xiao Mi left the Qins'. He was thrilled that Qin Yi now was getting better.

They went back home in high spirit, but they saw Chen Xiao Cai sitting by the house gate with a gloomy look from afar.

"Cai, is everything all right?" Lu Lin and Chen Xiao Mi quickened their footsteps.

"The Lus were here." Replied Chen Xiao Cai.
