Married At First Sight By Gu Lingfei

Chapter 1238
Old Mr. and Mrs. Hunt needed to be there for the ownership transfer formalities too.
Once the procedure was done, and Liberty’s name was on the title deed, Liberty and Serenity then paid the old folks for their
share of the property.
Serenity wanted to leave her part of the inheritance to Liberty as Liberty was the eldest daughter. Serenity had taken into
consideration that her sister had it rougher in life.
However, Serenity had not told her sister about it.
Now all that was done and out of the way, the mayor said to the sisters, “Liberty, Serenity, are you renting your farmland out? We
have someone who wants to contract our fields. I had a meeting with the rest of the townspeople. Everybody is on board.
“You’ll get the rent from the contracted fields, and the money will depend on the square footage of your land. The rate per acre
will be the same across all. You can leave your number with me if you’re interested. I’ll transfer you the money when we sign the
contract and receive the rental money for the land.”
The person who was contracting everybody’s farmland was Serenity.
Nevertheless, Serenity said nothing about it. She uttered with a smile, “Thank you. My sister and I won’t be back to farm the
land. It’ll be a waste to leave the field empty. I’m happy to rent it out if someone is keen to develop it. How long will the contract
be for?”
“At least fifteen years,” replied the mayor.
Serenity recalled the contract she drew up was for twenty years. However, she had not signed the papers with the town council.
The mayor still had no idea that her contract was for twenty years.
“Sure, no problem.”
Although Liberty knew about this, she said nothing as her sister was unwilling to tell the mayor the truth.
Serenity told her sister to leave her contact details with the mayor.
The money could go to Liberty when the rent for the farmland was received.

Ring, ring, ring...
Serenity’s phone rang.
It was Zachary.
She went to a corner to pick up her husband’s call.
“Babe.”
She kept her voice down, not wanting others to listen to her intimate conversation with her husband.
“I can barely hear you, Seren. Say it loud and proud.” A certain somebody was pushing his luck for more.
Serenity amusedly asked, “Can’t hear me? There are so many people around. I don’t want them to listen to our conversation.
Are you done with your work?”
“The meeting here just ended, so I wanted to call and ask how things were going on there. Will you be back in time to have lunch
with me?” Zachary asked his wife over the phone as he fell back against his black swiveling chair and twirled it.
She did not need his company but it was hard on Zachary because he had not seen her the whole morning.
It felt like an eternity since he last saw her.
“I promised Mrs. Deli that I’ll have lunch at her place. She’s cooking as we speak. We won’t make it back for lunch. I’ll make you
a few of my specialties tonight. How about we pop open a bottle tonight?”
Zachary poked fun at her. “One glass will take you out. You’ll sleep the night through. Your sister told me to watch you and stop
you from drinking. You don’t want me to tell on you to your sister.”
Serenity replied, “Don’t threaten me with my sister... I learned to drink a little more after going to events with my aunt. I can
handle a couple of drinks now.”
