Chapter 156: Arrangements
Early in the morning, Gu Nian handed over a hundred taels of silver to Lin Shanshui, "Dad, this is for building our house."
Lin Sanshui accepted the silver and said again, "Think of this silver as a loan from you to the family, I promise to repay you in the future."
"Dad, I am your daughter, what’s mine is yours, right? Do you really need to be so clear with me? When I eat at home, do I also need to pay for meals?" Gu Nian retorted deliberately.
Lin Sanshui chuckled, "That’s different! You’re just a child, it’s only right for us to support you."
Lin Sanshui said this to remind himself.
Ah, people really can’t resist the temptation of greed.
Especially when it comes to money, initially there’s guilt, but once the habit forms, it becomes natural.
This child is no ordinary luck, and she has her own ideas. Plus, the hillside has already been purchased, following her ideas for aquaculture might actually succeed.
Lin Sanshui definitely doesn’t want to become a greedy person someday.
Gu Nian pulled out her blueprints and discussed her plans with Lin Sanshui, who nodded incessantly.
"Your arrangements are very good, just follow them," Lin Sanshui sighed, "Sometimes you really don’t seem like a six-year-old child. Even your brother might not come up with such plans by himself, it’s rare for someone your age to know so much."
Gu Nian’s smile stiffened instantly, "I... actually don’t know much, I learned it all from Young Master Nan. Though he doesn’t understand these things, his experience and casual remarks have been enough for me."
Gu Nian credited Nan Jin Yu, knowing Lin Sanshui wouldn’t directly ask.
Six years of age was the biggest obstacle she encountered.
Reflecting on it, many things she did exceeded what her age should comprehend.
But if she was cautious, how long would she have to wait to achieve something? To seek out her original brother?
"So it was Young Master Nan who gave you the idea, no wonder." Lin Sanshui finally relaxed, "You must thank Young Master Nan properly. Speaking of which, Young Master Nan is quite a benefactor to our family; ever since he came to Taohua Village, our family has benefited the most."
"I know." Gu Nian replied casually, then asked, "Dad, clearing those two hills completely will require quite a bit of effort. Now it’s still more than ten days until the busy farming season. I was thinking of asking the villagers for help, what do you think?"
"Of course, usually in our village asking for help just means providing a meal. But you’re clearing the hills to raise chickens for profit, so it’s not good to let people work for free, they’ll need some wages." Lin Sanshui said.
Gu Nian nodded, hiring people should definitely be compensated, which was her original thought, "Then let’s pay according to the town’s wage scale. Being such a big place, we may need to hire people frequently in the future, can’t have them working for free."
Lin Sanshui thought for a moment and began arranging, "Your brother is going back to the restaurant today, so I’ll go find your uncle and second uncle later, then go around the village and get some people to help clean the hills first."
"Dad, didn’t you also buy seventy acres of land? If you’re busy, I can go find Uncle and Second Uncle myself." Gu Nian suddenly remembered.
