Lin Ziyin let out a sigh, for there is truth in the saying that there is always something hateful about the pitied person.

The fools standing before her not only provoked pity, but also a desire to bully them.

After dinner at the Lin Family, the uncle and aunt-in-law made their excuses to leave.

“We’ll keep this chicken for you for now, return it to you when you come back. As it seems, you can’t even keep the things we give you, we won’t take anything back with us.” Lin Ziyin spoke.

“No need.” The uncle and aunt-in-law hastily declined.

Guo Huiniang and Lin Changshu were taken aback by Lin Ziyin’s words. What she said was a bit too harsh.

“The ox cart is ready, uncle and aunt, please get in.” Wu Dayou had brought Lou Zheng’s ox cart.

“We’re leaving now.” The uncle called out.

“Consider what Ziyin said once you’re home. Once you’ve made your decision, you can come over.” The laconic patriarch finally spoke.

The crippled man started to shed tears, choking with emotion, he could not say a word, he could only nod vigorously.

On the third day, Si Si brought along a shrewd man.

“My surname is Yin, people call me Master Yin.” the man introduced himself.

“He’s a renowned house builder in the city.” Si Si chimed in.

“Let’s discuss this in detail.” Lin Ziyin said to Master Yin.

“Very well.” Master Yin knew who he would be building a house for. Being frank, he was initially unwilling, thinking what kind of house could a little girl afford? It simply wasn’t worth his effort.

“This is the house I want to build.” Lin Ziyin pushed the prepared blueprints over to him, “Calculate for me, how much silver for these three houses?”

Three houses? Lin Changshu and her grandfather looked at her, perplexed.

“Two sections, including wings.” Lin Ziyin continued. “We won’t provide room and board.”

“Interesting.” Master Yin was suddenly engrossed in the blueprints. “Let me do the calculations.”

Lin Ziyin waited patiently.

“At least one thousand two hundred taels of silver.” Master Yin declared.

“I also need a ‘heating dragon’.” Lin Ziyin added.

“What’s a ‘heating dragon’?” Master Yin inquired, surprised.

“Something to keep the house warm in winter.” Lin Ziyin replied.

“Does such a thing exist?”

Lin Ziyin remained silent, confronted by his eager curiosity, “I can provide you with the blueprints, but you can only make it for us and keep this a secret. This will require a contract.”

At these words, Master Yin was taken aback.

“If you don’t agree, I can find someone else to do it. In fact, my grandfather and brother can do it.” Lin Ziyin said with a smile.

“Alright then, if it’s as good as you said, I am willing to collaborate with you. From then on, for every ‘heating dragon’ made, I will give you 20 percent.” Master Yin was a sharp man, he promised her a deal even before seeing the thing.

“Okay. But the one for my house has to be free of charge, consider it an opportunity for you to practise.” Lin Ziyin cunningly said, “And we need to sign the contract first.”

Facing such a slick person, all Master Yin could do was smile wryly. “Aren’t you afraid that I might deceive you?”

“Not at all, you were recommended by the Si Family, I trust your integrity.” Lin Ziyin replied with a smile.

With Si Si witnessing their agreement, and with the help of Lou Zheng as a verifier, both sides signed a contract.

Then Lin Ziyin took out the blueprint of the ‘heating dragon’ and handed it to him.

Upon looking at the blueprint, Master Yin’s eyes instantly widened, “Excellent, this is wonderful!”

Certainly, with this blueprint, he won’t lose out this winter!

After finalizing the deal, Lin Ziyin gave him a silver note of six hundred taels to buy the materials.

“Ziyin, what do you mean by building three houses?” Lin Changshu finally couldn’t hold back his curiosity.

“One for you, one for your brother and sister. Since Changting is still young, his house will be temporarily connected to ours. When he grows up and is ready to marry, we can open a separate door.” Lin Ziyin answered.

Her words dumbfounded both her grandfather and Lin Changshu.

The next day, cart after cart continually hauled bricks to the wasteland fenced off by Lin Ziyin. Many villagers came over enviously, upon hearing that it was the Lin family who was building the houses, they were all excited.
