"I have decided to hand over the ten-hectare land of mine in the eastern area to you. I'm sure you will be able to build a new steel mill on a larger scale."

Lacey couldn't believe her ears when she heard what her stingy uncle told her.

He's offering me his ten-hectare land? I'm sure he's up to no good.

She decided to proceed with caution. "Uncle Jeremy, are you seriously going to hand over the ten-hectare land of yours in the eastern area to me?"

Lily scoffed, "You must be dreaming, right? It's a plot of ten-hectare land we're talking about. Do you really think we're giving it to you for free?"
