Chapter 35: Chapter 35: It Shouldn’t Be Third Uncle, It Should Be You Chapter 35: Chapter 35: It Shouldn’t Be Third Uncle, It Should Be You “Third Uncle, you’re brilliant!”
Having heard his words, Lin Caisang immediately gives Lin Baiyi a big thumbs-up, beaming.
“But, Third Uncle, you mustn’t let Grandpa or Grandma find out about this.”
Initially, it would have been fine to tell Lin Laogeng and Ms. Lu of the Lin Family about this matter. After all, the idea was hers, and the person executing it was her older brother. They were just kids making a little fuss, which was understandable. If Ms. Lu wanted to blame someone, she’d be there to take the heat.
But now that Third Uncle had stuck his foot in, the nature of the matter had changed!
If Grandma found out, and one day her relationship with Second Uncle improved, Grandma would definitely blame Third Uncle.
“I understand, I won’t let your Grandma find out.” Lin Baiyi nodded solemnly.
He was no fool. Did Liu Baixiao ever allow their parents to know about any of the bad things he’d done over the years? They always found out, and only then did he admit it begrudgingly. This time was the same with selling Sangsang.
If they hadn’t discovered it, who would have known?
Of course, he wouldn’t be foolish enough to reveal his own tail for his parents to grab.
“If Grandma finds out, it won’t be as easy for us to get things done.”
Lin Caisang nodded, acknowledging.
“Although those people might spread words about Second Uncle’s deeds, we can’t entirely depend on them. Big brother, I think you should still wander around Qianlin County these next few days. As for Third Uncle, you don’t need to go.”
She turned to Lin Changhong, saying.
Lin Changhong agreed to her words.
“In a while, I’ll find Brother Molian to see if he’s hunting in the mountains tomorrow morning. If he’s going, I’ll go to the mountains in the morning and inquire about things in the county in the afternoon for the next few days.”
He could also earn some money for the family.
“Third Uncle, I have some stuff I’d like you to help me make. These are my drawings. You can take a look tonight and see if you can make it.” Lin Caisang turned to Lin Baiyi, picked up the papers from the table next to her, and handed them to him.
Lin Baiyi took them and glanced at a few, his eyebrows knitted together.
“Sangsang, what are you planning to do with these? Wheels and wooden boards… What are you… what are you making?”
Though he was a carpenter, he’d never actually seen something before, nor did he know what Lin Caisang intended to use it for. Judging from the looks of it, it seemed like she was going to assemble something.
Lin Changhong also came over for the fun, leaning over to look.
“Hey, Sangsang, are you constructing a chair? But this chair has wheels underneath. Are you making this for Grandpa?”
Big brother, I can’t help but think that it should be you studying carpentry, not Third Uncle.
With these scattered wooden parts, with just one glance, you can tell it’s a wheelchair and even guess it’s for Grandpa? The only one I admire is you.
She gives Lin Changhong a big thumbs-up.
“Grandpa has been bedridden for over three years. Besides Third Uncle sparing some time, he hardly sees the sun all year round. So I thought, why not make him a rolling chair? He can push himself around. This way, Grandpa can get some fresh air in his yard, instead of always being cooped up in his room.”
Listening to her words, Lin Baiyi and Lin Changhong both light up at the same time.
“Third Uncle, this carpentry work is your expertise. You’d definitely manage it, right? If there’s something you don’t understand, you can ask me.” Lin Caisang continues.
“Don’t worry, Sangsang. Leave this to Third Uncle. I promise to do a good job.”
