1990, Reborn as a Beachcomber, From Rascal to Brilliant Guy

"Ha! I didn't expect that kid to be so ambitious!"

Soon after, when Lin Wenbin returned home and told Lin Shuisheng about his request, Lin Yaodong was immediately amused.

He had originally thought that Lin Shuisheng would make some difficult requests, such as asking them to give up the red-headed boat at the head of the house, or asking them to produce the fishing charts they had compiled from years of fishing trips.

To his surprise, Lin Shuisheng only wanted the large mansion left behind by the old landlord.

It seems that his position as village head, village party secretary, and village director is quite valuable!

After laughing, he immediately gave instructions to Lin Wenbin:

"Alright, since they've given us a way out, we can't let them down. Go and call your Uncle Xing, Uncle Cai, Uncle Da, Uncle Fu, Uncle Hua, and Aunt Meijuan to the village committee. I'll go and wait there."

"OK!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wenbin immediately turned around and ran out to call for help.

Not long after, Lin Yaoxing, deputy director of the village committee, Lin Yaocai, accountant and clerk, Chen Meijuan, women's director, Lin Yaoda, militia company commander, Lin Yaofu, captain of production team one, and Lin Yaohua, captain of production team two, all gathered in the one-story house of the village committee.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lin Yaodong didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.

"I called you here for a meeting today because I have something very important to tell you, something that could be fatal."

Yesterday afternoon, Comrade Lin Shuisheng came to me and told me that he had a dream in which a once-in-a-century typhoon would directly hit our area in the next few days.

Then today I went to the Qinglan Management Area and called the city to inquire. They said that the city's meteorological bureau had indeed detected a typhoon forming on the outskirts of Taiwan.

Although the exact path is still uncertain, you should all know that this isn't the first time Comrade Lin Shuisheng has dreamt of...

You all know what that means.

Therefore, I estimate that the typhoon will almost certainly hit our area.

After the meeting, you must ensure that the villagers are prepared for the typhoon in accordance with the relevant regulations.

At the same time, I will also make an announcement over the loudspeaker. Did everyone hear that clearly?

"Listen carefully!"

When Lin Yaoxing, Lin Yaocai, and the others heard that Lin Yaodong had already confirmed the typhoon information with people in the city, they all nodded with serious expressions.

After all, as people who grew up by the sea, they know very well how much damage a large typhoon can cause.

If you're not careful, someone could die.

If anyone dares to be negligent, and something really goes wrong, they can't afford to take the responsibility.

"Um!"

Seeing everyone's reaction, Lin Yaodong nodded with satisfaction, and then continued:

"There's another thing. I don't know what Comrade Lin Shuisheng was thinking, but he took a fancy to that dilapidated house left by the old landlord and wanted to spend 2000 yuan to buy it from the village and rebuild it."

Considering that he does not currently own any homestead land, and that he needs to promptly report typhoon news to the village so that the village has time to prepare for the typhoon and avoid losses, I agree in principle.

What are your opinions?

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances, wondering why Lin Yaodong would openly support Lin Shuisheng.

Although Lin Yaodong appeared to be seeking their opinions, his statement of "agreeing in principle" clearly revealed his attitude.

Anyone who dares to object is going against him.

In that case, who the hell would dare to object?

Furthermore, they were well aware of the condition of the house Lin Yaodong mentioned. It was nothing more than ruins, and they didn't even know if the foundation was still usable. It had virtually no value.

If we can sell it for two thousand yuan and bring some benefits to the village committee, that would be a good thing.

The only unusual thing is that the plot of land for the house is really too big.

If you include the house's footprint and the passageways around it, plus the front yard and backyard, it's probably at least a thousand square meters.

Is it really possible to grant such a large plot of land to an individual for residential use?

"Well, if you all agree, I'll have someone help with the approval procedures in town, so you don't need to worry."

Lin Yaodong noticed everyone's concerns and immediately offered a solution.

"Alright, since you've said so, Brother Dong, I agree!"

"I agree!"

"agree!"

"..."

"Since everyone agrees, I can't go against the grain, right? I agree!"

Soon, everyone raised their hands and passed the resolution.

Immediately afterwards, when they saw Lin Yaodong take out the pre-prepared approval document for the transfer of homestead land, they all showed a knowing look on their faces.

Although they were not yet clear why Lin Yaodong was going to such lengths to help Lin Shuisheng, they were certain that Lin Yaodong was absolutely determined to succeed in this matter.

Nobody wanted to offend Lin Yaodong, who held great power, over a remote and worthless plot of land.

Soon after, as everyone gradually got up and left to go to the village to implement typhoon preparedness, Lin Yaodong handed all the prepared materials directly to Lin Wenbin.

"Ah Bin, go and take some people to sail all the boats to the town's harbor right now, choose a few of the safest berths, and while you're at it, go to the town government to find your uncle and ask him to help you get the paperwork for transferring the land for that house approved."

"OK!"

Lin Wenbin reached out and took the materials, nodding readily in agreement.

Then, he quickly left the village committee, called a few crew members he was closest to, and set sail for Dongshan Aotou. He also made sure to have someone notify the other crew members so that they would not panic when they heard the announcement.

He knew that only by completing the formalities and handing over the land to Lin Shuisheng before the typhoon arrived could he completely nullify the bet.

In addition, according to relevant regulations, as long as a house is rebuilt on the original site, it does not need to be reported to the county for approval. It only needs to be approved by the town and then submitted to the county for filing.

If someone knows someone who can help, it won't take more than an hour to get the rural residential land use permit, and then that dilapidated house can be transferred to Lin Shuisheng's name.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to Lin Shuisheng's request so easily.

At this time, Lin Shuisheng was still busy repairing the house at home. By the time he heard Lin Yaodong's announcement on the radio that a typhoon might be coming, Lin Wenbin had already left Qinglan Bay by boat with his men.

"Ah Shui, did you hear that? The typhoon is coming soon! You won! You really won!"

Lin Chaosheng, who was squatting on the roof, suddenly turned his head to look at Lin Shuisheng, his face full of excitement.

You know, that's ten thousand yuan!

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't move around easily on the roof, he probably would have hugged Lin Shuisheng and given him a big kiss!
