9: Chapter 9 Buying Land

That night, The Lin Couple lay in bed, tossing and turning.

They were pondering the matter of Lin Xiao's inner voice, wondering whether it was true or false.

Although some things had indeed come to pass during the day, the matter of Lin Yu framing Lin Xiao for hiding underwear had not yet been verified, so they could not act rashly.

However, Lin Xiao had suffered out there all these years, and they felt indebted to him.

After some discussion, they decided to start with the simplest and most direct way to make amends.

Buying cars and houses!

As long as Lin Yu had it before, Lin Xiao must have it too!

The next day, a pile of real estate information was stacked in front of Lin Xiao.

"A-Xiao, see if there is anything you like."

Su Xiumei sat to the side and asked gently.

Seeing this, Lin Yu gnashed his teeth in hatred.

He clenched his fists tightly but dared not say anything more.

Lin Xiao was also a bit confused.

He had transmigrated here and didn't really know much about this world.

How would he know which properties were good?

Moreover, most of these materials were real estate advertisements; every single one was touted to the skies, and they didn't have much reference value.

With no other choice, he had to try calling the system in his mind.

Unexpectedly, the system actually responded.

[gossip system online!]

[Jinfu Garden, average price 38,000 yuan, no disasters in the next fifty years, no room for appreciation.]

[Emerald Garden, average price 62,000 yuan, no disasters in the next fifty years, appreciation potential within five percent.]

[Future City, average price 43,000 yuan, one fire and three jumping incidents will occur within the next fifty years, appreciation potential is negative fifty percent.]

...

After this series of introductions, Lin Xiao realized that there were no particularly good houses among them.

The appreciation potential was basically within ten percent, and the lowest had plummeted to negative eighty percent.

At this moment, the system's prompt sounded again.

[Host, the price of a piece of wasteland is about to double! You might want to pay attention to it!]

Lin Xiao's eyes lit up immediately. Pointing to a map on a promotional flyer, he said, "Mom, I want this one."

"Oh? Longxing Garden?"

Su Xiumei tilted her head to look, recalling the situation regarding this residential complex.

But this seemed to be just an ordinary residential complex, with housing prices at only around 10,000.

This made Su Xiumei feel both moved and distressed.

Her biological son was truly too sensible, saving money for them like this.

Lin Xiao shook his head and simply picked up a pen, circling a spot on the map, "It's not Longxing Garden; it's here."

Su Xiumei was puzzled, "But this seems to be a piece of wasteland..."

"Yes, that's the wasteland."

Lin Xiao looked up, his clear eyes gazing at Su Xiumei, "Mom, can I have this piece of land?"

"Heh, just a piece of broken wasteland; you really have an eye for things."

Lin Yu couldn't help but sneer from the side.

Lin Xiao ignored Lin Yu and said to Su Xiumei in a serious tone, "Mom, the price of this land will double within half a month."

Su Xiumei frowned slightly.

Their family had made their fortune in real estate, so they had some understanding of the value of various surrounding lands.

But according to the information they had previously collected, this land was located in a remote suburb, and surrounding housing prices hadn't gone up for many years.

How could the price suddenly increase?

While puzzled, she heard Lin Xiao's inner voice.

[Heh, a wealthy mine owner doesn't know what he offended this year; he's having all sorts of bad luck and is looking for a piece of land with good feng shui to build a house. Before long, he'll take a fancy to this plot of land.]

[Too bad I just got home, so I can't be too greedy. Just asking for one piece of land is fine. Otherwise, if I really bought all these surrounding plots together, I'd be rich later!]

Su Xiumei was greatly shocked.

These plots of land were ones that none of the real estate developers had taken a fancy to; there was absolutely no competition, and they could be bought at the lowest price.

If it really would appreciate, that would be an extremely profitable deal.

Lin Yu couldn't hear Lin Xiao's inner voice. Seeing Su Xiumei's hesitant expression, he sneered, "Mom, do you really believe his nonsense? Even our Lin family hasn't received any news that the land is going to rise in price; how could he possibly know? I think he's just trying to fool you..."

"Alright, A-Xiao, I'll have my assistant handle the paperwork this afternoon."

Su Xiumei ignored Lin Yu.

Anyway, all Lin Xiao wanted was this small plot of land, and it didn't cost much.

Compared to the money they had spent on Lin Yu over the years, it was barely a drop in the bucket.

What really made her indecisive was whether to believe Lin Xiao's inner voice and buy the other surrounding plots of land as well.

No, time was tight and the task was heavy.

She had to hurry and discuss it with her husband.

After speaking, she hurried to the study to call Lin Qingshan.

Seeing that the mother who used to dote on him the most was now ignoring even his words, Lin Yu was instantly furious.

Lin Xiao didn't care about Lin Yu's man-eating expression and went for a walk in the back garden on his own.

...

When Lin Qingshan received Su Xiumei's call, he rushed back from the company immediately.

After discussing it, they made a decision.

In addition to buying the land Lin Xiao had chosen and gifting it to him, they also quietly bought the nearby plots and registered them under the company's name.

The price of these plots of land was nothing to The Lin Couple.

Even if they lost money, it wouldn't have much of an impact.

They just wanted to verify whether Lin Xiao's inner voice was correct.

When it was almost time for dinner, Lin Chuge suddenly hurried out of her room.

"Dad, Mom, don't bother preparing my meal; I have something to attend to and need to go to the company."

This wasn't the first time this had happened, and Lin Qingshan and Su Xiumei didn't take it to heart.

After acknowledging her, they continued with their own business.

At this moment, they heard Lin Xiao's inner voice again.

[Tsk tsk, being busy with work is truly a universal excuse.]

[She's clearly going to find that scumbag!]

Lin Qingshan and Su Xiumei exchanged a glance.

Lin Qingshan put down the financial magazine in his hand, and Su Xiumei also put down her teacup.

They pricked up their ears in unison.

Yesterday, they had heard Lin Xiao's inner voice say that Lin Chuge was some kind of female lead in a tragic novel who would be deceived by a scumbag and her best friend, ultimately meeting a miserable end.

Today, they had finally waited for the follow-up!

Lin Chuge couldn't help but pause.

Although she was skeptical of Lin Xiao's inner voice, since it involved her own affairs, she wanted to listen too.

Just like that, the three people in the house pricked up their ears, holding their breath and waiting patiently.
