Lin Dawei pondered for a while, but he still asked in confusion, "isn't this being the middleman?" Being a middleman required the government's permission. Plus, one had to be a merchant.
Lin Yuelan shook her head and said, "uncle Wei, I'll only buy the land that you bought. We're only doing business exclusively with each other. We don't need to involve the government."
"But..."
Lin Yuelan stopped him and offered another perk, "Uncle Wei, do you think I can work all that land on my own?"
Lin Dawei shook his head. Then, he reacted and said in surprise, "Wait..."
Lin Yuelan nodded and said, "that's right. At that time, I can hire brother Jiawei to be my family's supervisor and give him a salary every month." But how was this different from selling his son to be someone else's slave?
Just as Lin Dawei was about to object, Lin Yuelan said, "uncle Wei, I know what you're worried about. I'll hire bother Jiawei as the supervisor, not as a slave."
