Chapter 158 - Rented Land

After Yun Shan confirmed his intention to move out, he shared his thoughts with Old Master Yun.

Old Master Yun was a sensible old man. He did not oppose Yun Shan’s proposal. On the contrary, he supported his family to move towards a better future.

Old Master Yun also asked if Yun Shan needed some financial help from him. However, Yun Shan could not bring himself to accept Old Master Yun’s financial aid. If Yun Gang or Yun Lin knew about this, they would eat him alive.

Yun Shan declined the old master’s kindness.

Just as he walked out of the old master’s room, Ma Yan found out about it. Ma Yan walked into Yun Shan’s house with a smile on her face. She was holding some dried eggplants that were dried last autumn.

“Yun Shan’s family is all here.” Ma Yan said and sat down right away without any formalities. “We still have some dried eggplants that were dried last autumn. They taste really good, so I came to give some.”

Of course, she had to be polite. No one would reach out and hit a smiling person.

“Ma Yan, we are already so familiar with each other. There’s no need to beat around the bush. Just say it.”

Yun Shan had just entered the house when he heard Yun Xi’s words. However, he could not figure out what Ma Yan was doing here at this time. Could it be that she was trying to stop them from moving to the county?

“I heard that your family is moving to the County since Yun Shan has found a new job there. I am truly happy for your family.” Ma Yan hypocritically congratulated them.

“However, look at Chen Li’s health – she will not have time to take care of this land. Why don’t you rent them to our family instead? Yun Lin is not capable, so he can only rely on his own strength to earn money. Rather than renting these lands to other people, why don’t you rent them to your relatives? You can rest assured when you rent them.”

It turned out that Ma Yan was thinking about the land.

“Yun Shan, what do you think about renting this land to our family?”

Yun Shan’s family indeed planned on renting out the land. Perhaps Yun Lin’s family had heard about it.

Moreover, Chen Li still had some good farmland from Chen Sheng. These were all good farmland that could produce good crops. Naturally, there were many people who were envious.

“Third aunt, of course, we can rent these lands to you. However, although we are relatives, we still have to settle the rent accordingly. The rent has to be paid in full. Moreover, you have to pay a deposit before the land is harvested.”

This was the rule of renting land back then. Before the land was leased, the landlord would receive a deposit from the tenant. When the autumn harvest hit the grain and the tenants’ finances improved, the landlord would then collect all the remaining rent.

Yun Shan also thought so.

After all, the income from these agricultural products was always good, and the rent from renting out the land was also a considerable income.

“We all belong to the same family, so why do you make us sound like strangers when you say this? Yun Shan and Yun Lin are both from the same womb. You should at least give our family some discount on the rental. Even if you don’t respect me, you should do this for Yun Lin.”

Sure enough, Ma Yan diligently delivered eggplants over for another bad intention in her heart. It turned out that she wanted to rent the land for free.

“Then how much discount do you want?” Yun Shan asked. If Yun Lin’s family were not so greedy, Yun Shan would not have to spend so much effort in dividing his family’s land into so many pieces. Instead of renting it to different people, he might as well directly rent it to Yun Lin’s family. It would be more convenient that way, and it would also take care of the relationship between the brothers.

“We are all relatives, after all. Why don’t you waive 40% of the rent for us?”

Ma Yan daringly said. In an instant, she had reduced the rent by nearly half.

“You b*tch, you really came to Yun Shan’s house and spoke to them.” Yun Lin rushed from their house to Yun Shan’s and was berating Ma Yan.

“Why are you so wicked? The Yun Family are honest people. Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning?” Yun Lin knew exactly what Ma Yan had asked for.

Ma Yan was also angry.

“Yun Lin, who are you calling a wicked woman? I did all this for your two sons and for this family.”
