Chapter 326: Chapter 326: Isn’t it Supposed to Be? Chapter 326: Chapter 326: Isn’t it Supposed to Be? Lin Caisang: “…”
So despite all she said, they still wanted to offer gifts to her, didn’t they?
What else could she say then? There was nothing more to say, right?
“Ah, this beef you made is really good, eat a few more pieces.” She passed another piece of beef to his mouth. After all, she had been dieting for so long, it was all right to indulge in a big meal now and then.
The pair happily enjoyed their meal for over half an hour before Ya Molian left.
Early the next morning, Ya Molian arrived with two baskets. One filled with beef tripe, beef blood, beef tendon, and the like as Lin Caisang had mentioned. The other filled with four to five pounds of beef and a few beef bones.
Seeing the two heaving baskets made Lu Qiubo’s mouth water.
Especially when Ya Molian mentioned that these were all gifts for her darling granddaughter Lin Caisang, her face lit up even more in delight.
“Old woman, Molian gifted us so many things, how could you accept them all without saying anything?”
After Ya Molian had left with her granddaughter, Lin Laogeng pushed his chair to the kitchen entrance. Looking at the two bamboo baskets on the table, he raised an eyebrow as he asked Lu Qiubo.
“If we didn’t accept them, what then? Should we return them?” Lu Qiubo turned to look at him, retorting with her own question.
Lin Laogeng was momentarily left speechless, uncertain of what to say.
His wife’s accepting of Ya Molian’s gifts as if it were the proper thing to do – he couldn’t understand that logic.
“This Molian lives alone, while it’s true that as long as she has enough to eat, she doesn’t have to worry about her family. But making money isn’t easy, and all these things would fetch a decent price in town. It’s not right for us to keep accepting her gifts. We should think about what to give her in return.”
“Oh, you nag too much. Isn’t it right for me to accept some things from her?” Lu Qiubo spoke irritably to her husband.
Her granddaughter was always following Ya Molian around, about to be tricked away. As a grandmother, couldn’t she take some things from her granddaughter’s future husband? It wasn’t just a bit of beef, even if they sent more she would feel comfortable accepting it.
They can’t let Ya Molian think the Lin family was benefiting from marrying off their granddaughter to their family, right?
“Enough, there’s a lot to put away. You go have a chat with Three. I don’t know if these things are suitable for pregnant people, Three’s house’s…”
Lin Laogeng was left puzzled by his wife’s incessant chattering.
But in this household, Lu Qiubo’s word was law. Not bothering to dwell on it further, he wheeled his chair towards another room. Since it was raining, Lin Baiyi had moved his woodworking work to an empty room.
This room was previously used by Liu Baixiao, who had since fled with the money, leaving the room vacant.
They never thought Three would use an ox cart to sell wooden artifacts, but now that he was earning money, they cleared out this room for Lin Baiyi’s woodworking.
Lin Chushui, leaning on his crutch, was helping inside. Lin Changyi and Lin Caiqing were also present. Seeing Lin Laogeng at the doorway, Chushui hurried to push him inside.
“Whoa, be careful, child, your leg is still hurt. Let Girl Qing and Changyi do it.” Lin Laogeng quickly waved him away.
“Brother Chushui, let us take care of it.”
Lin Changyi immediately rushed behind Lin Laogeng and started pushing the wheelchair into the room while Lin Caiqing pulled from the front.
