Chapter 69: Chapter 69 This Mountain Deed is Left to Us by Our Father Chapter 69: Chapter 69 This Mountain Deed is Left to Us by Our Father “Alright, I’ll do it tomorrow.” Lin Changhong immediately agreed.
He had been considering what to do next. Liu Rumei is a person who will crawl into any hole she can find, she might find a way out just yet.
Thus, let the Chen Family deal with the Liu family.
“Big Brother, when you go tomorrow, take all the sundried medicinal herbs at home and sell them in that pharmacy. If you can buy a water buffalo, then buy one. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll pool our resources further.”
Lin Caisang thought for a moment and said.
“Should I go? Aren’t you going?”
Lin Changhong looked at his sister and asked.
Last time in that pharmacy, Sangsang was the one who did all the talking. He didn’t even get a chance to speak. This time, he should go alone?
“I need to go up the mountain to dig up more herbs. After about ten more days of digging, I have other things to do.” Lin Caisang said.
Lin Changhong didn’t ask anything further, just acknowledging her words.
But he was still confused. What other things did Sangsang have to do? Wasn’t the most lucrative work digging for herbs on the mountain?
This was something that Sangsang herself had said before.
Lin Caisang did have other things to do. Although she had been in this world for only a short time, she retained the original person’s memory. There were some things in the house that only she knew about, which she would have to take out and tidy up.
Otherwise, she would be letting down her father’s good intentions in leaving this item to her.
The next day, before it was even dark, Lin Changhong really did bring a big water buffalo home, causing his family to be overjoyed. Lin Changyi clamoured for his father to lift him onto the buffalo’s back for a while.
As for Lin Caisang, she just smiled and lowered her head to enter Lin Changhong’s room.
“Sangsang, why are you going into my room?”
Lin Changhong was not overly surprised about buying the water buffalo because he was the one who bought it and had already experienced the excitement. However, seeing Lin Caisang enter his room made him curious, so he followed her.
The room was originally his father’s, but since there weren’t many rooms in the house, he started staying here temporarily and eventually got used to it.
He saw Lin Caisang take off her shoes, climb into bed, lift the thick quilt, and her chubby hand carefully fumbled on the wall of the bed. Watching her, Lin Changhong was like a tall monk— baffled, utterly clueless about what his sister was doing.
Before he could finish saying her name, he heard a ‘clack’. A piece of the bed board was pried open by Lin Caisang’s little chubby hand, causing him to startle.
This bed was made of solid wood. According to his grandma, it was specially made when his father married their mother, using the best wood. Could it really be pried off by Sangsang?
Just as he was stunned, he saw Lin Caisang take out a paper folded neatly from the gap she had pulled open, and then she returned the wooden board back to its place.
“This is the mountain deed left by our father.”
“What? Mountain deed?”
Lin Changhong was shocked. Looking at the paper unfolded by Lin Caisang, he felt as if he was floating in mid-air.
A mountain deed was a different thing from a field deed.
Although buying a mountain was cheaper than buying a field, one could buy land a piece at a time, but a mountain deed had to be bought whole, regardless of its size.
How did their father have so much silver to buy a mountain?
“Yes, a mountain deed. When our father left home, he showed it to me once and told me that he kept it here for when we grew older and could use it.” Lin Caisang said.
