Chapter 236: Chapter 236: There Will Be No Such Rules in the Future! Chapter 236: Chapter 236: There Will Be No Such Rules in the Future! “You want fairness, right? This is the epitome of fairness – everyone earns their keep through their own sweat; there are no exceptions.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Caihe was stunned. She had never imagined that merely eating half a piece of chicken would push her into such a dire predicament. Where was the fairness in this?
Clearly, everyone in the family was pressuring her!
Furious, she glared at Lin Caisang, believing that all of this was her fault; all the hardships she had suffered at home were because of Lin Caisang!
Noticing Lin Caihe staring at her, Lin Caisang quirked the corner of her mouth and raised her eyebrow at her.
“He’er, haven’t you always looked down on me? You wouldn’t expect me to pay your position money, would you? Hmm?”
With her mouth opening and closing, Lin Caihe wanted to say ‘yes,’ but couldn’t find the words.
“Actually, I can help you pay your position money.”
With a slight smile on her lips, Lin Caisang gave her an ambiguous look. Seeing Lin Caihe prepare to say something, she continued.
“But look at this, Qing’er and Changyi work on Manghuang Mountain every day, and I’ve already paid their position money. If I were to pay for you while you do nothing, it would be so unfair to them.”
She glanced at Lin Caiqing and Lin Changyi, then at the others. Seeing them nod in agreement, Lin Caisang looked back at Lin Caihe.
“See, everyone agrees with what I’m saying. I believe that I ought to only pay those who work for me. This, to me, is fairness. Don’t you agree?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Caihe grew more frustrated.
“Haven’t I worked for you too? Big Brother forces me to work every single day.”
“Oh please, Second Sister.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Changyi looked at her with disdain.
“The pitiful amount of work you do in ten days wouldn’t even add up to what Third Sister does in one day. Besides, look at the tasks you perform. You’ve ruined all the vegetable seedlings; they can’t even be planted anymore. If Sister Sangsang actually hired you, it would be disastrous.”
With her lips pursed, Lin Caihe didn’t know how to respond.
“Alright, enough. We’re not here to point fingers. Let’s just settle the issue of position money now to avoid any future complaints about fairness.”
Seeing that the younger ones were about to start arguing again, Lu Qiubo quickly intervened.
“As for what grocery we buy for the family, I’ll decide that. Don’t expect to eat meat every few days. Money doesn’t just fall from the sky.”
Lin Caihe’s eyes widened in shock.
She had grown accustomed to her current lifestyle, with nutritious food every day. Suddenly being told to eat less was unacceptable.
“Grandma, haven’t we already paid the position money? Besides, Brother Changhong can go hunting in the mountains. If we run out of meat, we can just send him up there, right?”
Upon remembering that she hadn’t yet paid her position money, she paused her words. Then, looking at the hunter Lin Changhong, she continued, pouting.
“Changhong has to pay his own position money too. If he hunts, he has to sell his catch in the town to earn money. Why should he provide for your sustenance? Are you so exceptionally beautiful that everyone should revolve around you?”
Lu Qiubo glared at her and sternly rebuked.
“It’s not only about meat. From now on too, Sangsang won’t bring her foraged wild eggs home anymore. If anyone wants to eat them, they can go and forage for themselves or buy them with their own money. Who is obliged to attend to everyone else’s needs here?”
“Our family won’t have such a rule in the future!”
