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.
