Qi Yan asked, "Does that mean you're going to build a house?"
"Yes, I've bought the land already. I'll build after the wedding," Lin Gongshang said. "The land I bought is beside Tanwu Village, not far from the mountain you want to lease. You'll be able to see your mountain after turning a corner. Come over for tea more often when the time comes."
At the mention of Tanwu Village, Lu Ao's heart stirred. "Have you heard anything from Tanwu Village about my plan to lease that mountain?"
Chapter 62
Lu Ao had been thinking about leasing a mountain for quite some time. It was only because so many matters had piled up recently that he had temporarily put it aside.
Since he had not mentioned it, Lin Gongshang and the others had assumed he found the mountain too expensive and no longer intended to lease it, so none of them brought it up.
Now that he mentioned it again, Lin Gongshang said, "Of course there has been news. The people of Tanwu Village are anxious now. They even had Tan Junhao come over to sound you out."
Lu Ao had not known about that.
Seeing his surprised expression, Lin Gongshang chuckled. "Tan Junhao knows you well, so he was too embarrassed to ask again. I heard the people in Tanwu Village have been arguing fiercely in the WeChat group. A lot of them want to lower the price and lease it to you. They're afraid you'll lease another mountain instead."
There were many mountains around Chongxin Village, large and small, scattered all around the village. Quite a few of them could be developed.
Haining Mountain was by no means Lu Ao's only option.
As for those mountains, nobody burned firewood anymore. They lay abandoned, with no one tending them
