Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 231 - 230: Rich Enough to Waste Time with You
After school today, a group of children, holding the bread they kneaded themselves, happily flew back home like little birds to show off their treasures to their elders.
Soon, the whole clan knew that today Wanwan treated the kids again. Bread is unlike pastries—it looks like a huge piece, as if it could fill one meal.
Lin Clan Leader looked at the so-called bread that the three children brought home and felt genuinely worried. This Mistress Lin is getting more and more generous.
Today there’s bread, and tomorrow it will be cake—this whole bunch of strange things just to entertain the kids. For over a hundred children, such waste means even a mountain of gold and silver might be eaten into a barren land.
Now it’s already mid-March, and spring plowing has started, a time when food resources will be heavily consumed.
However, just as Lin Clan Leader was about to complain to Lin Wanwan, she instantly diverted his attention with the matter of cotton seedlings.
The best time to plant cotton is in April when the climate is most suitable.
Regarding the cotton fields, thanks to the efforts of Lin Clan Leader, quite a bit of land has been integrated, mostly from Lu Family Manor, and the land measurement is about to start these days.
Lin Wanwan’s piece of Permanent Land is alkaline, definitely unsuitable for cotton, but her quota land can be used.
Apart from this piece, Xiao Chong also allocated more than half of his official land for planting cotton.
Xiao Chong is the most active collaborator in Lin Wanwan’s farming plan.
And thanks to the great harvest of potatoes, the local people around Xiao Chong’s official land blindly trust him again.
That evening, after little Qingyu fell asleep, Lin Wanwan pushed open the Space-Time Gate and arrived in modern times.
The Great Tang and the modern era, usually at odds day and night, were in harmonious unison tonight.
It was 7 PM in modern time, and Lin Wanwan glanced at a few WeChat messages from the police officer in her phone asking for details and casually replied.
The police officer was puzzled as to why Lin Wanwan always encountered precious animals by the sea.
Lin Wanwan explained that she simply had good fortune and was very popular among animals.
The news of dugongs reappearing in the Huaxia Sea quickly hit the press.
Since Lin Wanwan had told the police she refused to cooperate for interviews, she appeared in the news as an enthusiastic citizen who "loves environmental protection."
Besides the dugong matter, there were also five new friend requests on Lin Wanwan’s WeChat, all with IP addresses from Hai City.
Lin Wanwan smiled slightly and accepted them all.
The curious onlookers were very excited by the 101st stimulation.
These days, the economy is starting to slow down, and it’s hard for the elderly to earn a hundred yuan, whereas arguing is too easy!
As soon as Lin Wanwan accepted the friend requests, she received videos from the five new WeChat friends individually.
All of them were arguing with the Gong Dewang family at the door of Room 401, some reasoning, some discreetly mocking, and some earnestly persuading them to move out—collectively, the old folks of Hai City brought out all their tricks, battling fiercely.
In the video, there was also the figure of a young woman holding a baby whom Lin Wanwan encountered when leaving, making her realize that they indeed lived as one big family under her roof!
Lin Wanwan looked at the video with a mocking smile, and gradually, her eyes turned glistening.
If she had a choice, who would want to be entangled in such matters? She was clearly a noblewoman willing to enjoy peaceful times!
Taking a deep breath, Lin Wanwan sent a hundred yuan red packet to each of the enthusiastic neighbors who sent her the dispute videos.
Meanwhile, the older folks waiting anxiously for hours in Hai City to have their WeChat friend requests accepted were starting to regret believing that girl’s words and arguing with the Gong family.
Their skeptical children even mocked from the sidelines, taking the chance to tell their elders to download an anti-scam app, warning them it’s too easy to get tricked.
As it turned 7 PM, right at family dinner time, the WeChat friend acceptance notifications came through. Instantly rejuvenated, the grandma from Room 301 puffed her chest: "Look, got accepted, let’s send the video over now!"
Rooms 301 and 401 upstairs had deep-seated resentment over a range of daily issues: blocked sunlight from hanging quilts, loud footsteps, dripping clothes, air conditioner drainage not connected to the sewer... and so on.
Upon hearing about getting paid to argue, naturally, Room 301 was the most enthusiastic. Out of five friend requests, two were from their household, along with two videos of the spouses together in action.
"Ding dong."
The next second, two red packets were sent to the couple’s WeChat in quick succession, making their faces break into a grin: "It’s true! She really sent the red packets!"
"Quick, finish eating, let’s argue some more after dinner!"
"Forget it, argue during the day. Their son returns at night, and we might end up fighting instead of arguing."
Young people these days, quick to fight instead of reason, unlike their middle-aged peers, who prefer words over actions.
Better pick daylight, avoiding the young office workers who leave early and return late. Argue once before work, and once after, and both spouses go separately, earning two hundred a day, how sweet!
Browsing law firms filled with ads online, Lin Wanwan felt a bit indecisive. Finally, she pondered and sent a WeChat message to Lu Shouyue: "Resourceful Mr. Lu, do you have any good lawyer recommendations? For a civil dispute case."
Lu Shouyue, who practically had his phone glued to his hand, replied in the next second: "Yes, do you need a lawyer? Can I assist? Let me advise you."
After thinking for a bit, Lin Wanwan still didn’t want to air family disputes publicly, so she lightly responded, "Yeah, met a few difficult ones, but it’s no big deal. I’ll leave it to a lawyer."
Seeing Lin Wanwan avoiding the question, Lu Shouyue didn’t press on.
Lu Shouyue: "Okay. I’ll send you the lawyer’s contact. You can add him on WeChat, Mr. Tan, Tan Qinghui."
Lin Wanwan replied: "Thank you (*∩_∩*)"
Lu Shouyue: "No need to be so formal with me ^_^"
After adding the lawyer on WeChat, Lin Wanwan immediately arranged a consultation time.
This lawyer, Tan Qinghui, was very accommodating and said he was available right now, asking if Lin Wanwan preferred a phone consultation or a face-to-face meeting.
Lin Wanwan naturally chose to meet face-to-face; she also wanted to assess the lawyer personally to see if they could work together.
Although a person recommended by Lu Shouyue probably wouldn’t be unreliable, it’s better to meet in person.
They arranged to meet at a cafe by Sun Lake in the city.
Lin Wanwan doesn’t like coffee, so she ordered a white rum flame coffee with a nice name just to place it aside—she isn’t interested in anything with a bitter taste, whether tea or coffee; she just likes sweet drinks and milk tea.
With gold-rimmed glasses, lawyer Tan, dressed in simple casual attire, ordered an Americano, with a confident gleam in his eyes.
From this first impression, he seemed quite the professional to Lin Wanwan.
After the chat, Lin Wanwan immediately decided to sign the appointment contract with him, entrusting the entire matter to Tan Qinghui.
As they parted, Lin Wanwan addressed Tan Qinghui, "Lawyer Tan, this is the issue. Please help me evict them and recover all the overdue rent over the years. It’s fine if they refuse to pay. As long as the case is won, help me apply for compulsory enforcement and mark them as defaulters."
Tan Qinghui nodded with a smile: "Rest assured, I will not fail you."
