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

"Homestead?"

Upon hearing this word, Lin Yaoguang, Lin Chaosheng, and Lin Haisheng were all somewhat stunned.

When Lin Shuisheng got up and went back to his room, he brought over the rural residential land use permit and the village committee receipt, and handed them to Lin Yaoguang. Lin Chaosheng and Lin Haisheng both leaned forward to look at them.

"Holy crap!"

"1260 square meters? Are you building a palace?"

"Isn't this the old landlord's house at the foot of Songshan Mountain?"

"Ah Shui, why did you bring this dilapidated plot of land here?"

"Exactly, you spent 2000 yuan? That much money could have bought a nice plot of land for a house in the village."

"Ah Shui, what trick are you playing now?"

"Stop! You guys are jumping around like this, I don't even know how to answer!"

Soon, Lin Shuisheng raised his hand to make a stop gesture, and then explained softly:

"You all heard what Second Brother just said. Uncle Dong sent Ah Bin with 10,000 yuan to cancel the bet with me. I refused, so they asked me to name my terms."

Seeing this as a rare opportunity, I asked them to help me transfer the old landlord's house at the foot of Songshan Mountain to me.

In other words, they actually paid for my two thousand yuan.

Are you stupid?

Upon hearing this, Lin Chaosheng immediately pointed his finger at Lin Shuisheng's nose with a look of utter disappointment.

"You said it's a rare opportunity, why would you choose this piece of rubbish land when you could have anything else?"

That piece of land is remote and far away. It is now overgrown with weeds and most of the stone walls have collapsed. If you want to build a house there, just hiring people to clear the land would cost you a lot of money.

With that money, you could buy several barrels of diesel fuel, and a few fishing nets...

"Alright, Second Brother, you've said so much, can I ask you a question now?"

Lin Shuisheng waved his hand, directly interrupting Lin Chaosheng, who was somewhat obsessed with his cultivation.

"Um...you asked!"

Lin Chaosheng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded to Lin Shuisheng.

Lin Shuisheng glanced at him, then looked at Lin Yaoguang and Lin Haisheng, who were standing to the side with puzzled expressions, and tapped the table with his finger.

"Since you think that piece of land is no good, can you tell me if you can find another plot of land that big in the village besides that one?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yaoguang, Lin Haisheng, and Lin Chaosheng exchanged bewildered glances.

Don't forget, this is an island, which is known for its large population and limited land.

Just like in their village, on average, each person doesn't even have 0.5 mu of arable land.

In addition, their village is sandwiched between Houqi Village and Xi'an Village, so the only usable areas are some small corners, and most of them have been cultivated into vegetable gardens and orchards and have been occupied in advance.

In addition, in November of this year, their area will be designated as a tourism development zone by the county. No houses can be built on any wasteland, woodland, or farmland, let alone approved as residential land.

In their past lives, because of this situation, Lin Shuisheng and his two brothers were all forced to build their houses in the vegetable garden behind their own houses. Some even had to demolish their old houses and divide the old house site into several parts.

"How much money will it cost you to build the house?"

After a while, Lin Chaosheng looked at Lin Shuisheng with a worried expression on his face.

Although it wasn't really appropriate to think that way, he was still a little worried that Lin Shuisheng might be thinking of selling his ship shares to build a house, and that he wouldn't have enough money to buy them.

"You don't need to worry about me withdrawing my shares in the shipping company; I'll figure out the money myself."

Lin Shuisheng glanced at Lin Chaosheng and waved his hand to reassure him.

"I...I didn't mean that..."

Lin Chaosheng's expression froze, and just as he was about to explain, Lin Shuisheng interrupted him with a gesture.

"Alright, we're all brothers, you don't need to explain so much to me."

Also, you should know that there aren't many places left in the village where you can build houses. I hope you can go to Uncle Dong to get a plot of land for your house as soon as possible, so that you won't be left without a place to get one if the policy changes later.

"But...but we're out of money!"

Lin Haisheng frowned, looking somewhat troubled.

"Big brother!"

"I think what Ah Shui said makes sense. In the past, we were only focused on saving money to buy a boat, and we never really thought about the policy changes."

"If the policy really changes, it will be difficult for us to get approval for rural homestead land again."

"That money..."

"Don't worry about the money. After I finish eating, I'll go borrow some money from my father-in-law and tell him about the typhoon."

"Alright, by the time you borrow the money back, it'll be too late."

Lin Yaoguang said this, stood up and went into the room. A short while later, he came out with two thousand yuan.

"Take this money and go to Adong to apply for a house site. Choose the gravelly wasteland at the foot of the mountain at the east end of the village."

Although the location is a bit remote and the foundation is not easy to dig, the area is large enough, probably three or four hundred square meters.

Besides, it's right next to the mountain road, so tractors can drive in. When it comes time to dig the foundation, we can just spend a little more money to hire someone to blast the rocks with explosives. It's better than crammed into this village with everyone else.

Hearing this, Lin Shuisheng glanced at Lin Yaoguang with some surprise.

"Father, why did you choose that piece of wasteland?"

If he remembered correctly, that piece of wasteland in his previous life, because it was right next to the provincial highway, was apparently used by someone to build a building and open a bed and breakfast.

If there weren't better options, he probably would have chosen that wasteland to build his house.

"snort!"

Lin Yaoguang slightly raised his chin and gave a soft hum.

"Do you think I've been doing all this for nothing? Since I've decided to divide the family property among you three brothers, I'm definitely going to find a good place for you to build houses beforehand!"

I had already consulted a fortune teller about that piece of land. It's located across the mountain road from our village's large pond, a place that's considered auspicious for gathering energy and sheltering from the wind.

If the rocks below can be cleared to allow the house to connect with the earth's energy, then it is a place with excellent feng shui.

"If I hadn't treated them to drinks and gotten them drunk, they wouldn't have told me!"

Lin Shuisheng: "..."

No, are you sure this isn't just drunken talk?

"By the way, do you want to build another one?"

"don't want!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shuisheng refused without even thinking.

Although there's no longer a one-household-one-dwelling policy these days, and anyone willing to spend money can get things done, he still understands the principle of "familiarity breeds contempt."

Even if brothers have a very good relationship, living too close to each other is not a good thing.

Life is only a few decades long, and who can guarantee that no conflicts will arise in the future?
