In the afternoon, Lin Sanshui returned without showing much joy. Mrs. Jiang's heart immediately sank, "What's wrong? Did something go wrong with the land purchase?"
Lin Sanshui shook his head, "I bought the seventy mu of land without a well, not far from our village."
"Why did you buy this one? Didn't we originally agree to buy that fifty mu one?" Buying this seventy mu of land left us with less than thirty taels of silver, and we would definitely need to dig a well, dashing any plans for house construction.
Lin Sanshui sighed, "Good farmland is in demand. How could they just leave it for us alone? That fifty mu was bought by someone else after I returned yesterday. It's fortunate I was early enough to get this seventy mu, or it would have been gone too."
As for the one near Daxi River, he didn't even consider it.
Cheap land was no good; if there were a flood, all the crops planted for a year would be washed away. He couldn't afford such a loss.
