Chapter 28: Chapter 28 The Village Tyrant Father and Son

"What are you doing here?"

Lin Fan glared at Cai Kui, he hadn’t asked his father just now because he knew even if he did, his father wouldn’t tell him, after all these years he was known in the village as an honest man, a person who believed that suffering losses was a blessing and often said so.

"Obviously here to sign a contract, your dad sold your family’s land to me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t bother coming into your shabby yard."

Cai Kui took out a pack of Zhonghua from his pocket, lit one and put it in his mouth, then threw a contract onto the kang bed.

"Sold the land?"

Lin Fan was startled and turned his head to look at his father. In the countryside, the farmland was the lifeblood of a family, not something to be surrendered unless absolutely necessary, as it was their only means of survival.

"Yep, it’s that plot on West Mountain... It’s sold now. These past few years grain hasn’t been worth much, the money from the sale can be used for your down payment, and you can buy a place in the city. After all, at your age, it’s time to get married and have kids."

The father picked up the contract; him, being barely literate, couldn’t understand it and simply handed it to Lin Fan: "Since you’re back, if you think there’s nothing wrong with it, just sign it."

"That’s ten acres of land, even just planting corn could yield several thousand a year, and you offer just five thousand yuan? You wish!"

Lin Fan scanned the contract and immediately threw it back onto the kang: "Everybody knows that the town is planning to build a tunnel through West Mountain. When that happens, the compensation will probably be dozens of times higher than what you’re offering. Keep your money."

This news was something Chang Wanyun had mentioned on the way back just now. A few days ago, a survey team had already come to explore. Once the tunnel was through, it would only take fifteen minutes to get back from the town, and the surrounding villages would all benefit.

"Compensation money... You wish."
