Chapter 114: Chapter 114 Preparing to Become the Landlord

"Hello, are you at work today?"

Driving straight to Lotus Town, Lin Fan made a call to Chang Wanyun on the way.

"I am at work, are you coming back?"

Receiving the call from Lin Fan, Chang Wanyun was extraordinarily excited.

"I am on my way back, but I’ve still got some things to handle. I’m inquiring about how much land your family has?"

"We have fifteen acres in total, but because Dazhu was injured, we had to let the land lie fallow for the first half of the year. Just yesterday, when I took a day off, I hired someone to turn the soil over, preparing to sow some cabbage tomorrow to keep for the winter."

Although she didn’t know what Lin Fan needed, Chang Wanyun still gave him a truthful answer.

"Alright, don’t bother sowing anymore. I will lease it from you. Two thousand a year per acre, thirty thousand a year for fifteen acres. We’ll sign a five-year lease to start with. Does that sound good to you?"

Lin Fan’s words stunned Chang Wanyun for a moment: "You want to lease the land? If you need it, just take it. Why are you discussing money with me? Do we really have to be so formal about this?"

"Some matters need to be clear-cut, and besides, the land isn’t yours, it’s in Dazhu’s name. By leasing out the land and taking home the money, you’ll have something to show for it. One hundred and fifty thousand should be enough to clear the debts, and from now on, your job should be enough to support the family. Plus, I will be handling this operation from behind the scenes; you don’t need to worry about anything else."

Lin Fan had a reason for acquiring the land, which was for Zhu Dan’s new project. It was clear that Zhu Defu cared deeply for his only daughter, and judging by her sparkling eyes, once the project succeeded, it would surely drive development in the surrounding areas. It would also earn a pretty penny, so why not?

"Okay then, whatever you need, just call me. Dazhu’s home is run by me now, and nobody dares to object!"

Chang Wanyun had become quite assertive, having the prestige of managing a big hotel in Lotus Town among relatives and friends made her stand out. However, after Dazhu had been injured, she had experienced plenty of cold remarks from family members, including Dazhu’s parents. So now, famously fiery and unapproachable at home, no one dared to provoke her.

"Great, then it’s settled."

After hanging up, Lin Fan drove straight back to Victory Village Team 2. As he opened the gate and parked the car, the widow Sun was already swaying her slender waist, softly smiling as she walked in.

The widow Sun’s clothing had always been unorthodox in the countryside. Unlike the rough garments of other women, she favored fashionable long dresses and strappy tops. Even today, her white long dress could not obscure her gracefully curved figure.

Her face, though marked by time, was still beautiful and carried a mature allure. She approached with confidence, unafraid of village gossip, and as she moved her waist, her voluptuousness bounced tantalizingly, making you almost want to take a bite.

"You got here pretty quickly."

Seeing the gracefully aging beauty, Lin Fan smiled as he walked into the living room.

"You little fiend, so eager to find me. Are you craving your sister’s affection?"

The widow Sun sauntered in and plopped down next to Lin Fan, comfortably leaning into his embrace without any pretense.

"I indeed crave you, but not today. Soon an agricultural expert will come, and I need to accompany her to Fengtai Village for some research work. I probably won’t be able to return these next few days, so I called you because there’s an urgent matter to handle."

Although he said he was busy, Lin Fan couldn’t resist slipping his hand down the collar of the widow Sun, playfully squeezing the fullness in his palm.

"Last time I asked you if you wanted to be the village head, and you didn’t want to do it. So, I’ve found a new project, planting Chinese Herbal Medicine. When I was writing the report a while back, I also surveyed the market. Although it’s a two-year cycle, the profit is much higher than corn. So I want to lease some land in the village, before it’s sown, and to catch the tail end of the year. And I’ve already talked to Chang Wanyun, she has fifteen acres, and with my twelve acres, that’s over twenty acres. I’d like you to make the arrangements, and I will handle the finances and technology. Once we make money, we split it fifty-fifty. How about that?"

"Mayor Lin, you have a promising career in officialdom, why think about farming now? Even such a small amount of money tempts you?"

The widow Sun looked at Lin Fan quizzically, puzzled that he would shift from a promising official track to farming.

"I also want to diversify the types of crops in our town. The promotion in Fengtai Village isn’t advancing swiftly, currently, they only have a little over twenty acres, and it’s being directly funded by the Agricultural Science Academy. The farmers aren’t very interested. I asked the experts, and they said our land is suitable for cultivation. But if the quantity is too small, it affects the purchase price. So, I want to expand the planting scale in our village. If things go well, by the end of next year we should have a profit. Once there’s money to be seen, locals will follow suit, and not just our village, but Lotus Town as a whole could see better income. Wouldn’t that also be my contribution to my hometown?"
