Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Has Someone Come Home? Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Has Someone Come Home? Lin Caihe glanced at Lin Caisang, then at her elder brother who was holding ginger, and could only press her lips and head to the kitchen. As she walked past Lin Changfeng, he handed her the ginger he was holding.
“Boil two bowls.” He instructed.
“Liu Rumei, oh Liu Rumei, you’re simply detestable. How old is Chushui, yet you actually had him go catch fish in the river? Why didn’t you do it yourself?” The door to the room was flung open, with Lin Laogeng, his eyes bloodshot, glaring at Liu Rumei who stood rooted to the spot.
Liu Rumei opened her mouth, clearly unsure of what to say, but also feeling very indignatnt, she returned a defiant glare.
“How was I to know he can’t even catch a fish without falling into the water? Besides, why are you shouting at me? It wasn’t me that asked him to go catch fish. If you have the guts, go and shout at Liu Baixiao who’s the one that forced Chushui to catch fish.
Also, you saw for yourself, we’ve been so poor recently, we can’t even afford to buy staples. If Chushui doesn’t work, is he supposed to eat for free at home? I can’t afford to keep him without working. If he wants to eat, he needs to work. What’s wrong with catching fish? It’s surprising enough that I haven’t sold him.”
Are these words that a mother would utter? Did she not notice her son was here, who could’ve heard her?
“Get her out of Three’s house. Don’t let her step foot in here ever again!”
Seeing her father-in-law’s command, Yang Lin, who had disliked Liu Rumei since the beginning, immediately picked up a broom leaning against the wall and began swinging it towards Liu Rumei.
“Ah, ah, what do you think you’re doing? I tell you, you’d better hand over the fish Chushui caught, or there’ll be…ow, Yang Lin, you nasty wretch, just you wait.”
After being hit by Yang Lin a few times, she scuttled out of the courtyard swearing, without daring to glance back.
“What a terrible woman!”
Yang Lin spat out these words with emphasis, then replaced the broom.
“Third Aunt, can you please make a bowl of corn paste, roast two corn pancakes and cook an egg. It seems Liu Chushui hasn’t had breakfast.” Lin Caisang, looking at Liu Chushui who had yet to emerge from his room, told Yang Lin.
On their way back, she had heard Liu Chushui’s stomach growling.
“Fine, I’ll go do it now.” Yang Lin nodded.
“Oh, the poor child. How could he end up with parents like that? It’s really quite pitiful.”
With a light sigh, she headed into the kitchen.
Carrying half a chicken in her hand, Ya Molian arrived at the Lin family’s courtyard just to see Lin Caisang with wet hair.
“Sang, why is your hair wet? Go dry it quickly.”
“Yes, yes, Caisang, you should go and dry your hair first. I’ll wait here for Liu Chushui to come out.” Upon hearing Ya Molian’s question, Lin Changfeng also regained his senses and urged Lin Caisang.
Lin Caisang nodded, then headed back to her room to dry her hair.
“Changfeng, what happened? Did someone come by?” Ya Molian looked at Lin Changfeng and asked.
She had heard the row caused by Liu Rumei earlier, and although she didn’t agree with Liu Baixiao’s family’s return to Ya Village, she knew the decision was not hers, or Caisang’s alone, to make.
Firstly, they owed some consideration to the father-son relationship between Lin Laogeng and Liu Baixiao. Even if Lin Laogeng did not wish to consider it, he also had to care about their appearance to the outside world. Should they cut ties to the point where everyone knows that the Lin family is capable of driving their own son out of the village?
