“Big brother, about that share issue…”

“Shut your damn mouth, still dreaming about shares? What are you fantasizing about? If you keep being greedy, you won’t even keep your head!”

Third brother Hall was scolded into not daring to raise his head, only managing to mutter in a low voice, “Okay, I got it.”

“Then why aren’t you hurrying? If you screw this up, I won’t forgive you! Remember, you agreed to this yourself; it has nothing to do with anyone else, got it?”

“Understood, I’ll go talk to them right now.”

In the office, Lindsey Wolfe was somewhat worried, hesitated for a long time, but still decided to head back first.

Greg Jensen grabbed her all of a sudden, grinned, and said, “No rush, wait a bit more.”

“Wait for what? They obviously don’t want to contract the land to us, we might as well head back and think of a plan.”

After saying that, Lindsey Wolfe laughed at herself, feeling like she had a screw loose, explaining so much to an idiot.

“Let’s go, staying here is just a joke to Third brother Hall; we definitely won’t be able to contract the land.”

“Don’t rush, wait a bit longer.”

Greg Jensen pulled Lindsey Wolfe back, adamant on not leaving.

Seeing this, Lindsey Wolfe couldn’t help but get angry, “Greg, what is it, let go quickly. If you don’t let go, your auntie is going to get angry.”

“Just wait a bit more; he will contract the land to us.”

“You idiot, do you even know what land contracting is?”

Lindsey Wolfe glared at him annoyed and was about to leave when Third brother Hall walked in.

Before she could speak, Third brother Hall came up to her with a big smile and said, “Freya, you want to contract the land, right?”

“Yeah.”

“Okay, then sign the contract agreement quickly. There’s so much wasteland in the village; whatever you fancy, just say it. It’s lying idle anyway, letting you farm it for free is fine.”

Third brother Hall’s face was all smiles, completely different from how he was gouging before, the attitude making a complete 180-degree turn.

Seeing this, Lindsey Wolfe felt a twinge of caution, hesitated, and said, “How about… let’s not contract the land after all, I need to talk it over with the company again.”

“Not contracting it? How can that be?”

“No, no, really, I’m not contracting it.”

Lindsey Wolfe waved her hands repeatedly, refusing to agree to the contract no matter what.

It wasn’t that she had suddenly changed her mind, but that her entrenched impression of Third brother Hall was simply too deep.

If the other party had demanded a ransom, trying to extort money, she wouldn’t have worried so much.

But Third brother Hall’s attitude changing after just going out for a while, not only foregoing demands for bribes but even wanting to contract the land to her for free, was too odd.

Could someone with Third brother Hall’s character really do something so generous?

He definitely had no good intentions!

Third brother Hall was baffled; hadn’t she been crying out to contract the land just a moment ago, and now she’s not interested?

If you aren’t interested, what am I supposed to do?

The only reason he had become the village head was with the backing of Big brother Hall.

If Big brother Hall got angry, he could kiss the village head position goodbye.

Thinking about what his big brother had just said, Third brother Hall shuddered.

He hurriedly said, “Freya, please just contract this land. Otherwise, I won’t be able to explain myself.”

“Explain what?” Lindsey Wolfe asked, puzzled.

“Er, that is…”

Third brother Hall was stunned, stumbling and unable to provide a clear explanation.

Seeing this, Lindsey Wolfe became even more reluctant to agree, grabbing Greg Jensen and trying to leave.

In a panic, Third brother Hall knelt on the ground with a thud, pleading urgently, “Freya, please just contract the land.”

Lindsey Wolfe was scared stiff and said in a panic, “Hey, what are you doing? Get up quickly, please get up.”

“No, if you don’t contract the land today, I won’t stand up.”

“I…”

Lindsey Wolfe was speechless. She had anticipated what might happen when she arrived, but she never expected that Old Third Liu would kneel down just to get her to contract the land.

She felt that if she didn’t contract the land today, it might cause even bigger trouble, so she had no choice but to nod and say:

“I’ll contract it, I’ll contract it; is that okay? Now please stand up.”

Old Third Liu breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and asked with a beaming smile, “Tell me, how much do you want to contract? I’ll prepare the paperwork right now.”

Lindsey Wolfe felt that Old Third Liu was acting too strangely today. If she didn’t contract the land, she was afraid he wouldn’t let her leave. If she contracted too much, she was afraid of being trapped.

She hesitated for a long time, then cautiously ventured, “Contract… contract one acre.”

“One acre?”

Old Third Liu was startled and said with a forced smile, “Or perhaps contract a little more? One acre is hardly enough.”

“No, no, no, one acre is plenty,” Lindsey Wolfe said, shaking her head repeatedly.

Upon hearing this, Old Third Liu found himself in a bit of a quandary. His older brother had only told him to contract the land to Lindsey Wolfe, but he hadn’t specified an amount.

If Lindsey Wolfe only contracted one acre, and his older brother wasn’t satisfied, he would be in trouble.

It was at this moment that Greg Jensen suddenly said with a dopey smile, “One acre is not enough, one hundred acres!”

“Greg…”

“Right, one hundred acres, that’s more like it.”

Old Third Liu was overjoyed and quickly said to the accountant, “Hurry up and prepare the agreement for Freya!”

“Village chief, there’s no need for that much, really…”

Lindsey Wolfe became anxious, but seeing that the accountant had already prepared the agreement, she felt timid, and after a long thought, she still didn’t dare to refuse and just signed her name on it.

Old Third Liu looked at the signed agreement and finally felt at ease, saying with a smile, “Freya, if there’s anything you need help with from the village, just tell me directly, don’t be polite.

From now on, you’re also an entrepreneur in our village. When you become prosperous, don’t forget about the folks here.”

“Don’t worry, Chief, I, Lindsey Wolfe, am not an ungrateful person.”

“Haha, that’s good to hear.”

“Well… if there’s nothing else, I’m going to leave now.”

“Sure, go ahead. I’ll send someone to the field to mark it out for you later. They’ll get everything ready, and you can start work whenever you want.”

“Okay, thank you, Village Chief.”

After thanking him, Lindsey Wolfe hurriedly left the village committee with Greg Jensen.

Once outside, she couldn’t help but complain, “Silly Greg, how could you blurt out something like that? Old Third Liu definitely has ulterior motives. We’ve contracted so much land; isn’t he just going to scam us to death?”

“No worries, hehe,” Greg Jensen said with a foolish laugh.

“You’re an idiot, you’re not afraid of anything,” Lindsey Wolfe glared at him before storming off home, fuming.

Back at home, Lindsey’s father noticed her displeased expression and asked in a hurry, “Freya, what’s wrong? Did Old Third Liu refuse to contract the land to you?”

“No, I’ve contracted a hundred acres of land.”

“Ah, it’s something we can’t help. Who would have thought that the Hall Family holds such sway in the village? It’s a pity we, the Jensen Family, don’t have many people; otherwise…”

Her father thought that Old Third Liu had refused to contract the land to her, so he was comforting her. Mid-sentence, he suddenly realized what she had said, his eyes wide with surprise, staring at Lindsey Wolfe.

“What… what did you say? You contracted a hundred acres of land?”

“Yes, and it’s for free too.”

Lindsey Wolfe said helplessly, “1 told him I wouldn’t contract it, but Old Third Liu insisted I do. If I didn’t, he would have knelt on the ground and not let me leave..”
