Chapter 366 Changing Houses
……
In recent years, Lin Xiaotang has been helping everyone come up with ideas. Lin Qingchuan and Manager Su have been leading Shui Sheng, Wu Yu and others to open restaurants and continuously expand the medicinal herb planting fields. The restaurant and medicinal herb businesses have been getting better year by year, and everyone has been earning more and more money, which is now beyond counting.
With money in hand, everyone started thinking about buying big houses.
After all, now that everyone has money, it's somewhat inconvenient to always squeeze together and live in a small room in the backyard of the restaurant.
As people have become wealthier, the materials and styles of their clothes have improved, and their lifestyles have become more sophisticated. They are willing to spend money, and the things they buy have become more affordable. Their small rooms are almost overflowing, so they want to move to bigger rooms.
Lin Qingchuan felt it was time to fulfill his promise to everyone.
He decided to buy a big house in Dushui County and move in with his whole family!
Everyone lived together, did business together, and lived together; that's what made it lively and bustling.
He's a man of action; once he has an idea, he immediately puts it into practice.
So he began to inquire everywhere, finding the most famous peddler in the city and asking him to help him find a suitable house.
Over the next few days, he followed the servants throughout the city and its outskirts, looking at several large houses, but he couldn't find one that suited his taste.
There was a house that was grand, with plenty of rooms and a large yard, but it was in a rather remote location. There was another house that was in a good location, quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, but a year or two ago someone had died there, and strange things kept happening there. It was considered unlucky and was the subject of gossip. Even though he didn't believe in ghosts and evil spirits, he didn't dare to buy it for the sake of everyone else.
When they arrived in the west of the city, Lin Qingchuan immediately chose a very luxurious mansion.
This house occupies a very large area. It has a vermilion lacquered wooden gate, red walls and green tiles, and is magnificent and uniquely built. Stepping into the gate is like entering another world. The winding corridor is planted with many precious flowers and plants on both sides. Various flowers are fragrant and splendid, and a subtle fragrance floats in the air.
Passing through the long corridor, you enter a secluded and tranquil courtyard. Inside, there are artificial hills, flowing water, pavilions, and towers. Further in, several courtyards are scattered in a well-organized manner, with carved beams and painted rafters, exquisite and unparalleled, making you feel as if you have entered a dream world.
The boy walked ahead of Lin Qingchuan, leading the way and introducing the place to him.
"Sir, we've looked at many houses together over the past few days, and this one best meets your requirements. It was built by a distinguished scholar who commissioned craftsmen to suit his own tastes. This scholar loved elegance and was particularly fond of appreciating all kinds of rare and precious flowers, plants, and trees. Therefore, all the plants in this house are quite valuable. Look at this century-old ginkgo tree, and that crabapple tree is also quite old..."
His voice carried a hint of pride, as if he were introducing his own treasure.
As Lin Qingchuan walked through the courtyard, he felt that every detail was unique and elegant, pleasing to the eye. He imagined everyone living here and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. He immediately decided to buy the house.
After he bought the house, he returned to the restaurant in high spirits, eager to invite everyone to move in and live together.
“Shuisheng, Wuyu, I bought a big house in the west of the city. We can all move in together sometime so that we can always look after each other and live a lively life.”
However, when everyone found out, they all looked embarrassed.
Shuisheng brought his wife and children to see the house and was amazed by its magnificence, but still shook his head and refused, saying, "This place is too luxurious and I don't feel comfortable living here. I've found a small courtyard in the east of the city that's close to the medicinal fields, making it easier to take care of things. Besides, I'm also living with my daughter, wife, and elderly mother, and it would be inconvenient for the whole family to live together." His tone carried a hint of apology, but more than that, it was firm.
Wu Yu said with a smile, "I've already met the daughter of a village head, and we're planning to get married. We also want to buy our own house."
His face beamed with happiness, filled with anticipation for the future. He imagined himself and his future wife living in the new house, his heart overflowing with sweetness.
The others also had their own plans and wanted to buy their own small houses.
