Chapter 391: Chapter 391: No One Treats You as a Mute! Chapter 391: Chapter 391: No One Treats You as a Mute! At his words, both Lin Baiyi and Lin Changfeng felt a ‘thud’ in their hearts, a sense of foreboding.
“Dad, what do you mean by this?”
Lin Baiyi’s face turned unsightly as he asked coldly.
“What I mean is, perhaps it’s best if we divide the household.” Lin Laogeng said.
“What, we… we are dividing the family?”
Upon hearing the words ‘divide the family,’ Lin Caihe’s face immediately turned pale, and she seemed unwell.
Although she always wanted to outdo Lin Caisang in this house, she knew better than anyone that her life would be far worse without Lin Caisang.
If the family were truly divided, her own family would have no money to spend, even her elder brother would not be provided for.
“Grandpa, we can’t divide our house.” She immediately cried out at Lin Laogeng.
At her words, Lin Laogeng directed his gaze at her.
“Little girl He, the least entitled to an opinion in this house, is you!”
Lin Caihe was immediately choked up.
Seeing that the one who usually managed things most effectively dared not speak, Lin Laogeng continued to look at Lin Baiyi and Lin Changfeng.
“This is what I’m thinking. Changfeng will soon go to the county to take the Autumn Imperial Examination, which naturally will require much money. Simultaneously, Sangsang, who grows many things on Manghuang Mountain, wants to open a shop to sell those items.
This situation inevitably creates a conflict of interest. That’s why I suggest we separate the households. Of course, if you don’t want to live separately, that’s also okay, as long as you register as two different households with the head of the family.”
Lin Baiyi was about to object, but his son caught his wrist.
“Changfeng, what do you mean?”
“Grandpa, do you and grandma prefer to live with Sangsang and Changhong?” Lin Changfeng used his gaze to stop his father, and turned to ask Lin Laogeng.
The look in Lin Laogeng’s eyes deepened a few degrees. He nodded and spoke.
“Living with anyone is essentially the same, we are all family after all. But the issue is, opening a shop will disrupt you, which wouldn’t matter if you were already in the examination, but you haven’t joined it yet.
Changfeng, Sangsang was right. If you want to go to Jian’an City, there will be a lot of expenses. You know our family’s financial situation, where can we get that much money? Sangsang wants to open a shop, and Grandpa supports this. You should support her too.”
Listening to Grandpa’s words, Lin Changfeng took a deep breath, picked up the bamboo cup in front of him, drank all the tea in one gulp, and then looked at Lin Caisang who had been silent on the side.
“Sangsang, do you want to open a shop?”
“What do you plan to sell?” Lin Changfeng asked again.
“Brother Changfeng, what else can Sangsang sell, isn’t it medicinal…”
“Lin Changhong, if you don’t speak, no one will think you’re mute!”
Before Lin Changhong could finish his sentence, Lin Caisang was so angry she almost threw her bamboo cup at him.
So in her big brother’s eyes, what else could she, Lin Caisang, do besides sell medicinal herbs? Was he truly her brother or not, did he ever do anything other than frustrate her?
“These are dried fruits I prepared. Third Uncle, Third Aunt, Brother Changfeng, please have a taste.”
She stood up, took the cherry and loquat dried fruits she had prepared from the side, and placed them on the table.
Lin Baiyi involuntarily raised an eyebrow.
Even Yang Lin, who had been silent all this time, looked at her in surprise, let alone the expressions on Lin Changyi and Lin Caiqing’s faces. They were extremely rich in variety.
