“Yes!” Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife hurriedly replied.
After that, she took the money and signed the contract before returning home.
On the way back, Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife still felt like she was dreaming.
It felt surreal when she stepped on the ground.
She rushed home and knocked on the door.
Fourth Uncle Lin was surprised to see his wife return with a heavy bag in her hand.
He was just about to ask.
His wife asked Da Niu to take his brother out and then closed the door.
“W-what’s going on?” Realizing that his wife had something to talk to him about, Fourth Uncle Lin asked nervously.
Why did she come back after leaving for a while? And her expression…
Old Fourth Lin’s wife quickly walked to the bed and smiled mysteriously at him.
Then, she placed the bag in her hand on the bed and untied it.
She took out the silver ingots and showed them to her husband.
Seeing the silver ingots, Fourth Uncle Lin’s eyes almost popped out.
There were actually 6 silver ingots worth 10 taels each.
That was 60 taels of silver. Where did she get it from?
“Dear…” Fourth Uncle Lin stuttered.
Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife smiled. “Listen to me.”
Then, Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife told Fourth Uncle Lin about Zhou Shi lending her money.
“Not only did she lend me money, but she also gave me two days off. She asked me to look after you for a little longer before I go to work. In addition, she asked me to settle things at home.” Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife said.
“I was thinking that it would be better to take advantage of these two days to deal with this house. After that, we will have enough money to build the house.
I will find someone to arrange for the construction.”
“The earlier we start work, the sooner we can move out of here.” At this point, Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife’s face was already filled with anticipation.
Old Fourth Lin frowned.
“Selling the house is feasible. As for moving to the Wang family…”
A hint of hesitation flashed across Old Fourth Lin’s face as he continued, “I thought about it, but it’s still a little inappropriate.”
“Mr. Wang and the others are very friendly and take good care of us. This is a good thing. However, I’m still injured. It’s not appropriate for me to go to someone else’s house to recuperate.”
When Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife heard this, she frowned slightly and nodded.
She did not want to stay in the Lin family mansion for another moment.
But her husband had a point.
Mr. Wang and Madam Wang treated them well and were willing to take them in. However, they would have to disturb them for a long time. If there was any conflict, it would affect their relationship.
“How about this? When we sell the house, we’ll tell your brothers in advance.
After our new house is built, we’ll move out of here.”
“Alright.” Fourth Uncle Lin’s wife nodded.
Building a house was only a matter of a few months. It would be over soon.
Old Fourth Lin smiled.
“Then there’s the matter of building the house.”
“Building a house is not a small matter. It requires a lot of manpower. We need someone to keep watch.”
“My injuries…” As he spoke, Old Fourth Lin looked down at the injuries on his body, his eyes filled with hatred.
If he had known that he could borrow money so quickly, why would he have fought with them?
If he had nothing to do now, he could immediately start arranging the construction of the house.
However, in the current situation, he could not do anything.
“It’s fine. Just stay at home and recuperate.”
“Mr. Wang has the means to help us to buy land and build a house. I’ll visit the Wang family in the next two days and ask them for help.” Old Fourth Lin’s wife said with a smile.
“Madam Wang told me before that a few people in Shangyang Village have formed a new construction team.”
“Although there weren’t many people and they didn’t hire any extra helpers, they did a good job. The progress might be a little slow, but we don’t have to worry about it.”
“We only need to buy the materials. We don’t even need to provide three meals a day. They hired a professional to help them cook.”
“It’s easier this way. You just have to keep an eye on them. I can still work in the workshop.”
Fourth Uncle Lin was a little surprised.
After thinking about it, he didn’t believe it.
He then asked about the construction team. Seeing that his wife could answer all of them, he was relieved.
“If that’s the case, there’s indeed no need for two people at home.”
Then, Fourth Uncle Lin lowered his head and looked at his injuries.
“These are all superficial wounds. I should be able to move around in two or
three days..”
