Catching a Thief

The construction of Lin Yuelan's house was in full swing. They bought materials and bricks.

Seeing the carts bringing the materials to Lin Yuelan's house, one could tell at a glance that they were not going to build an ordinary house. Someone asked, and they were told that Lin Yuelan was building a house with three courtyards.

Oh my God, how much would that cost?

Could it be that shopkeeper Lin had really given all his money to this girl?

It should be known that building an ordinary farmer's house with a courtyard would cost at most 40 to 50 taels. If it was a little bigger, it might cost 20 to 30 taels or 70 to 80 taels.

However, Lin Yuelan had spent more than a thousand taels on the surrounding empty land to build this house. She had also spent more than a thousand taels on building such a big house. Plus, they heard that the girl wanted to use bricks to surround the house. This would be another huge expense.
