Chapter 1125: I won’t let you go_2
Although Lin Yuan had already decided that He Xiaodong and another would continue to take care of the vineyard, and to involve the villagers from He family village in the work, she kept this to herself until she had a chance to discuss it with Liu Limin.
While He Xiaodong described the arrangements of each courtyard, Lin Yuan listened and nodded in understanding. When the old wealthy gentleman left, he hadn’t taken the household items with him, so in addition to the furniture, there were many decorative items left behind, such as porcelain and screens. Of course, there were also quilts. Lin Yuan intended to keep the decorations, but she had no desire for personal items like quilts. Even if they weren’t diseased, using someone else’s intimate belongings still felt uncomfortably unsettling to her.
As for what to do with these quilts, Lin Yuan hadn’t decided yet. Families in better circumstances generally wouldn’t reuse someone else’s leftovers; it seemed that giving them to poor families was the only option.
However, whether to the poor or not, Lin Yuan planned to ask Lao Fan or Xiao Linshuang for some disinfecting herbs to treat the quilts before giving them away.
While they were talking, the sound of a carriage stopping at the gate could be heard, and soon Lin Yi and He Guangming came in first, followed by Lizheng Hua Hui, who was covered in dirt and stench.
Certainly, both He Xiaodong and He Chengfang knew Lizheng, and they were both surprised and amused to see him appear like this. They struggled to hold back their laughter but failed, and both quickly ran to the back courtyard to let out a laugh that seemed to shake the heavens.
When Lizheng reappeared, his complexion looked even worse, indicating he had suffered much censure at the Yamen.
Lin Yuan, finding the situation amusing, playfully tapped her toe, feeling that the wait in the estate had been quite worthwhile.
Lin Yi was still his reticent self, so He Guangming did the talking. He delivered the notarized deed to Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng, saying with a smile, "Young Master Xia, Miss Lin, this deed has been filed at the Yamen, and from now on, this land and estate are yours."
Lin Yuan took the deed and without even looking, she tucked it into her chest. It cost her one thousand five hundred taels of silver after all, and she certainly planned to use it to score some money from her aunt on another day.
Liu Limin is no ordinary person now. Since the fall of Meng Family Wine House, Liu’s Brewery in Zhuma Town was unrivaled in profitability, not only supplying the entire Zhuma Town but also offering wines to Fuman Building and its other branches.
