Chapter 241: Chapter 241: I Haven’t Agreed Yet Chapter 241: Chapter 241: I Haven’t Agreed Yet “This… isn’t right, there are so many people watching, it’s not a good look, really not good.” She shook her head, refusing to go with Ya Molian.
“Apart from you and me, are there any others here?” Ya Molian retorted.
Lin Caisang was speechless at his response, casting a weak glance at the horse beneath him.
“Still not okay, look at you, you’re quite hefty too, and I… I am quite pudgy. If we both sat on it, wouldn’t the horse be crushed by us? I’ve always had a kind heart, how could I do such a thing? No, I can’t do this.”
Hearing this, Ya Molian shook his head imperceptibly, bent over, and with one hand, took the bamboo basket from her back and held her arm, leading her to the front of him.
“Ah! Hey, hey, I haven’t agreed yet, I, I… you… you…” This isn’t fair.
She watched helplessly as the horse galloped ahead under Ya Molian’s urging, not even giving Lin Caisang a chance to disagree.
“Hey, isn’t that Ya Tu’s Molian? Who’s that on his horse, they look so familiar?”
At the entrance of the village, two women carrying vegetable baskets walked over. They were here to wait for the ox cart and happened to see the figure of Ya Molian riding away, and the fluttering attire of the person sitting in front of him.
One of the women squinted and asked her companion.
“What ‘Ya Tu’s’? Ya Molian moved out of Ya Tu’s house a long time ago, don’t you know how he was slaving away for Ya Tu and his family all those years, stop associating him with them.”
The other woman sneered at her.
Her house was right next to Ya Tu’s. She had also got married and moved to Ya Village five years ago. She saw clearly how Ya Molian was treated at Ya Tu’s place.
When Ya Molian had decided to move out, she’d been all for it. Ya Tu’s family couldn’t be allowed to ruin a perfectly healthy young man, could they?
The woman nodded in agreement.
“Tsk, the person on the horse wouldn’t be Ya Jin Lai, would it? I heard Ya Tu’s eldest daughter has always wanted to marry Ya Molian, she…”
The reasons why Ya Molian left Ya Tu’s household differed between what came from Ya Tu’s family and Ya Molian’s friends. Particularly, Ya Tu’s mother, Shen Jiaonan, had always claimed that Ya Molian moved out because he fancied her elder daughter and was avoiding rumors.
She was waiting for Ya Jin Lai to come of age, so that Ya Molian could marry her.
“Oh, please, do you really believe Shen Jiaonan’s nonsense?” The other woman retorted with a sip.
If it were true as per Shen Jiaonan, Ya Jin Lai is sixteen this year, so why hasn’t there been any sign from Ya Molian? He didn’t even look at Ya Jin Lai properly.
It was clear that Shen Jiaonan was trying to tarnish Ya Molian’s reputation and gold-plate her own face. It would be a wonder if anybody believed her.
“Ya Molian doesn’t even bother looking at girls like Ya Nian’er, would he be attracted to Ya Jin Lai? You actually believe Shen Jiaonan’s tall tales? If her words were true, the sows at my house could fly.”
The woman burst out laughing at her words.
“Right, can’t trust Shen Jiaonan’s words, but… who’s the person that Ya Molian went off with?”
Both of them were puzzled. Although the girls in the village had a liking for Ya Molian, he had never shown any interest in anyone. So now, who could be the girl with him?
