Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 798 - 101 Buy a house_2

As soon as the sale of the North Room was mentioned, Lin Jiazhong was the first to disagree.

Lin Jiaxiao had also disagreed, but changed his mind when he heard he could get some silver from it. After all, he didn’t have a share in those three rooms of the North Room, so he might as well sell them and get some silver!

Lady Yang wanted to sell, and Lin Jiaxiao said he wanted to sell too, which really worried Lin Jiazhong. Lin Jiaxiao’s two sons were still young; they didn’t have to worry, but he had to think about his own son. Lin Yongcheng had already dropped out of school, and once he shook his addiction to Five Stones Powder, it would be time to arrange a marriage for him. What to do about marrying without a house?

After discussing the house sale, Lady Yang sat down on a small stool again. She stopped talking, but she clearly understood that Boss would never agree to sell the North Room. She had said it deliberately earlier.

After wrestling with his thoughts, Lin Jiazhong gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, and resolutely said, "So be it, I’ll keep this house! I’ll buy my mother’s house with my own silver."

"How can that be possible? Mother said that we should get half of the silver left from the house sale!" Li Feng’e pursed her lips, greatly dissatisfied with Boss’s wishful thinking.

At this moment, Lin Jiaxiao stood by his wife’s side, clamoring for Lin Jiazhong to share some silver with them.

Where could Lin Jiazhong find silver to give them? It wouldn’t take much silver to buy a house for Lady Yang in the village. When Lin Jiaxin left with his family, the house he bought only cost two taels of silver. Lady Yang would live alone; the house could be smaller, at most not exceeding one tael.

But what about Lin Jiaxiao’s side?

Lady Ma, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Don’t we still have some land that hasn’t been divided? If it comes to that, I’ll just give you an extra piece."

"Only one piece?" Li Feng’e hummed derisively, glancing at the room where Lin Yongcheng was locked up.

Lady Ma, feeling powerless, had to bow her head, huffing, "Two pieces, two pieces then! Are you happy now?" freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Li Feng’e displayed a victorious smile, thinking that was more reasonable.

In fact, after Lin Jiaxin divided the family property, two pieces of land had already been sold. There wasn’t much land left. With this division, Lin Jiazhong only got two pieces of land, while Lin Jiaxiao ended up with four. And because they could use Lin Yongcheng’s situation as leverage, Lin Jiaxiao and his wife chose the land with the better soil first.

The division required the old village chief to draw up an agreement. When he heard they intended to buy a separate house for Lady Yang, he was both shocked and angry, and scolded the two brothers on the spot.

Lin Jiaxiao, reprimanded by someone who wasn’t involved, responded grumpily, "The land being divided isn’t yours, so mind your own business! Just write the agreement for us quickly!"

The old village chief was so angry he jabbed his walking stick, wishing he could knock some sense into Lin Jiaxiao’s head with it: "You worthless scoundrel! Your father would call me ’Sixth Uncle,’ and here you are yelling at me! Get out, I won’t draft any agreement for you, I’m out of this mess!"

Hearing that the old village chief wouldn’t draft the agreement, Lin Jiaxiao panicked. If he didn’t take care of it, what would happen to the four pieces of land he had in hand? He was planning to secretly sell two pieces and buy a house in the town to live in!

With this thought, Lin Jiaxiao’s attitude took a complete 180-degree turn, sweet-talking and almost ready to kneel to win over the old village chief.

Lin Jiazhong coldly observed his little brother’s sycophantic behavior and was deeply disdainful. However, he couldn’t just let the old village chief wash his hands of the matter; after all, he was looking forward to those three rooms of the North Room and those two pieces of land.

"Well, old village chief, just now my little brother was being foolish, speaking rudely. You are a man of great forbearance; please don’t stoop to his level!" Lin Jiazhong said pleasingly with a smile, then gave Lin Jiaxiao’s calf a hard kick.

Lin Jiaxiao grimaced in pain, catching his breath sharply. Boss was truly cold-hearted, seeking revenge over a mere two pieces of land.

Though disadvantaged, Lin Jiazhong was better at speaking. As long as he could make the old village chief happy, Lin Jiaxiao would endure the blow and didn’t dare utter a word.

After being pleaded with by the two brothers for a while, the old village chief, picturing Lady Yang’s frail, hunched figure, couldn’t bear it and asked irritably, "You want me to divide your household, fine, but first tell me, why are you sending your mother to live elsewhere? What’s the matter, you two grown men can’t even support an old woman? Or is it that you think she’s useless now since she can’t work and you want to kick her out?"
