Chapter 628 Its about time. " Move to the town, where did thise from?" Su Wan was really surprised, they haven''t discussed anything like moving to the town, with her though they did say that moving to the town would be beneficial but they haven''t said anything like —- '' yo, we gotta get moving to the town.''
Lin Jing sighed and then took a seat on the stone stools that he and his brother brought from the town and said, " I think that it''s time, we should move to the town. Yan, Chen and Yu have jobs there and I am going to start working there as well and Rui stays in the academy as well, there is no point in doing up and down from the vige to the town and back—-"
"But the melon fields—-" Su Wan too wanted to move to the town but she also did not want to leave her fields alone, if she left then who will take care of the fields? What will happen to it?
" I know, we aren''t going to move without leaving someone to take care of the fields either," said Lin Jing knowing that Su Wan would refuse if he did not give her a better suggestion that would allow the melon fields to flourish including them moving to the town. " We are not going to leave the melon fields alone either, all right?"
" That''s right," said Lin Yan as he looked at Lin Zi and Madam Zhang who smiled and said, " We are going to move to and fro, from now on —- the four of them have decided that they will hire a bunch of workers who will work on contract basis, the workers will take care of the fields and we just need toe and inspect them every now and then, if nothing we would just stay here and keep an eye on the workers."
Lin Zi smiled as she shook her head, " But I don''t think that we need to do that, the boys havee up with quite a nice terms and conditions for the workers who will be working here and so the chances of our fields getting harmed are likely lower than zero."
" We have asked your uncles if they are going to look for a batch of good workers and then you can choose from the one that you like the most," said Lin Chen with a grin. " But I think we shouldn''t let go of this chance, now that we have it."
Su Wan saw that everyone wanted to move to the town so even if she was worried she had to suppress the uneasiness and ask, " Have you looked for a house to move in already?"
Lin Jing nodded.
He has been looking for one ever since Su Wan got pregnant, though the house in the vige was good —- it was too run down. Even if they renew it, nothing will change —- after all the very support beam of the house was left broken by thest owner of the house since they didn''t want anyone to live here. They have tried to mend it again and again but what''s broken, was already broken, either they pull down the entire house and make it from the scratch again or they move to another house.
So, Lin Jing decided to move rather than wasting their money by restoring the house by pulling it down and then building it from the scratch. All of them wanted to move to the town anyway so what was the point in wasting money by rebuilding the house?
And when Su Wan got pregnant, the urge to move out of the vige got even more fiercer.
Though they didn''t stay at home, they still knew about the rumours that were running around the vige. Old madam Lin was still not willing to sit still and kepting for more, it was as if she has made her life''s aim to disrupt their lives and honestly that wasn''t the life Lin Jing wanted for his kids.
Now that Su Wan and Lin Yan were going to have a child, in a year or two one of them will have a kid again and if they stayed here then what kind of life will their kids have? Being cursed by an old woman they don''t even know?
He would never allow it, he and his brothers grew up under the cursing of Old madam Lin and that was enough, he would never let the same thing happen to his kids either. It didn''t matter if he was the biological father or not, even if the children came from his brothers, he was still their eldest father and he would treat them like they were his own.
No difference at all.
Which was why he started looking for a house as soon as he came to find out that Lin Yan and Su Wan were going to be parents.
At first, he wasn''t sure whether or not he will be able to find one but then he was fortunate enough to meet an old couple who were moving to the capital and were in a hurry to sell the house they were living in, the house was big enough for a big family to live in but their sons and their family moved to the capital and thus, it was left empty. And now they were living as well thus they needed to sell it as soon as they can—- that was how he was able to find out the perfect house he wanted.
" The house is nice and there is a big courtyard, as well the space behind the house isn''t small either —— with that alone you can nt enough trees in the backyard and then take care of the space. There is also a small bamboo forest, and everyone will be able to have a courtyard of their own, not just one room for each person, don''t you think that it''s a good idea to have a courtyard for everyone? That way our kids don''t have to grow up in a clustered room?"
It was indeed nice but —— " Then what about this house?"
