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

Shh! Keep it down, keep it down!

Lin Shuisheng put a finger to his lips, his face showing no particular excitement.

Originally, he planned to take advantage of this typhoon to spend 10,000 yuan to fish for fish, and then turn the dozen or so uncles and brothers in the houses into mandarin fish, thereby influencing the vast majority of people in the houses and achieving a triple enhancement of divine right, clan right, and human right.

This will clear obstacles for the three brothers to develop their businesses and give them a certain say in the land acquisition for future development of the tourist area.

But he didn't expect Lin Yaodong to react so quickly and be so willing to spend money, directly taking out 10,000 yuan to have Lin Wenbin come over and apologize to him, clearly not wanting him to have a chance to rise to power.

Considering his own experience, he is still far inferior to Lin Yaodong, a veteran village head, village party secretary, and village director.

Furthermore, since the other party had already given him enough face, he had no choice but to settle for second best and take the opportunity to resolve the issue of the homestead.

As for the ten thousand yuan, he never intended to put it in his own pocket.

Especially now, Lin Wenbin has sent him the money before the betting results are even out. The implications of this are obvious even to someone with no brains.

One aspect of this was certainly to win people's hearts and minds, so that the dozen or so crew members would be even more devoted to their family.

On the other hand, it was to set a trap for him.

If he receives the money and happily pockets it, then soon, a label of greed, ungratefulness, and selfishness will be attached to him, one that he will never be able to shake off for the rest of his life.

Therefore, he had already come up with a solution: after the typhoon, he would donate the money directly to the Tianhou Temple, which could be considered as offering a blessing through borrowed flowers, thus mitigating his previous sins of using Mazu's name several times.

However, he still remembers that after the typhoon in his previous life, almost every household in the village suffered some damage, and even the six century-old banyan trees at the entrance of the village had some branches broken off.

But strangely enough, only the Tianhou Temple behind the banyan tree remained unscathed, not even a single tile fell off.

If you say there's no story behind this, who would believe it?

"Hey, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and finish the roof and get down to the walls, doors and windows. Everyone knows a typhoon is coming, and Uncle Gui might get taken away soon."

Upon hearing his second brother's words, Lin Shuisheng felt a slight pang in his heart, and then without saying another word, he continued to work diligently.

Sure enough, just as they finished fixing the roof and were about to reinforce the doors and windows, several villagers from the same branch of the Lin family came over.

Because of their close relationship, coupled with the tight schedule, heavy workload, and high wages, Lin Shuisheng couldn't stop him. He could only have Lin Yaogui quickly give him some guidance on how to reinforce the wall panels and windows, then he paid him and sent him away.

The price wasn't expensive; it only took a short while to calculate, and it came to 4 yuan.

Cement is more expensive; it costs 10 yuan a bag on the mainland, but 12 yuan on the island.

I ordered a total of 8 bags, which came to 96 yuan.

This shows that building a two-story house with a floor area of ​​120 square meters on the island is not so easy. A rough estimate would be at least 3 yuan, which would average out to about 130 yuan per square meter.

Not to mention, Lin Shuisheng plans to build a three-courtyard house with two floors, three halls, and two wells on that plot of land.

Even excluding the courtyard, based on a two-story building with a floor area of ​​about 1000 square meters, he would need to prepare at least 13 yuan.

He currently only has a little over 2000 yuan in his hands.

This means building a house, supporting a wife and children, and also taking care of a sister-in-law...

The pressure is definitely quite high!

And so, in the midst of all the busyness, it was already past 11 a.m.

By this time, Lin Shuisheng and Lin Chaosheng had already repaired the gaps in the surrounding walls and doors and windows with cement mortar, which would solidify in about half a day.

Just as they were busy building a small wooden shed under the eaves for the diesel generator to shelter it from the wind and rain, Lin Shuixian happened to be carrying a load of reddish-green lychees back from the back mountain.

"Second brother, third brother, are you done yet?"

"Almost there, except for this diesel generator and those few sheds next to it."

Lin Shuisheng replied without looking up, continuing to assemble the wooden planks.

"So fast? We haven't even finished picking the lychees yet!"

Lin Shuixian placed the load at the gate, wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, and a slight look of surprise appeared on her face.

As agreed last night, apart from Lin Shuisheng and Lin Chaosheng who stayed home to repair the house, everyone else, including the two little ones Lin Mingtao and Lin Chunjiao, went to the back mountain to pick fruit.

The main activity is picking lychees, along with a small portion of wampee, mango, orange peel, peach, plum, prune, guava, and banana.

In addition, fruits such as longan, old pear, jujube, and rock sugar pomegranate are not yet ripe, so picking them would be useless. The only thing to do is to prune some branches to reduce wind resistance and use sticks to support them to prevent them from being blown over by the typhoon.

"Then why did you come back?"

Lin Chaosheng looked up at Lin Shuixian, his expression somewhat puzzled.

"Of course I'm here to cook!"

Lin Shuixian rolled her eyes, her face full of speechlessness.

"Forehead..."

Lin Chaosheng's expression froze, and he awkwardly raised his hand to scratch his scalp.

"Oh right! I almost forgot that no one cooks at home!"

"Alright, hurry up and help me move these lychees inside, so they don't dry out in the sun."

Lin Shuixian waved her hand and glanced at Lin Chaosheng with some disdain.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chaosheng didn't dare to delay. He hurriedly went over and carried the lychees into the house and put them away. Then he came out and went with Lin Shuisheng to reinforce the shed next to the front courtyard, which was used to store fishing nets and other tools.

Shortly after, before they could even finish, Lin Wenbin rushed over with a rural residential building land approval document and a receipt from the village committee, pulling Lin Shuisheng aside.

"Hey, I've got the land you wanted. Now you can return the bet to me, right?"

"So fast?"

Lin Shuisheng raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, and reached out to take the approval letter and receipt, then looked down at them.

Upon seeing this, his eyes widened slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his gaze.

The approval document clearly states that the house on the plot is 18 meters wide and 36 meters deep, with 1.5-meter-wide pathways for descendants on both sides.

In addition, the front courtyard and the backyard are each 21 meters by 12 meters.

In other words, the usable area of ​​the entire residential plot should be 21 meters by 60 meters, which is a full 1260 square meters.

With such a large area, how could approval be obtained without using the method of transferring old residential land?

good good!

He really hit the jackpot this time!
