Chapter 512: Chapter 512 If It Weren’t for You Chapter 512: Chapter 512 If It Weren’t for You “I initially wanted to paint a phoenix, but it would’ve been too conspicuous, so I painted a peacock instead. Do you like it?”
“I love it. I really love it.” Lin Caisang nodded enthusiastically.
How could she not love such a beautiful mask? It was not only gorgeous but also practical, just what she needed at the moment.
“I’m glad you like it.”
Seeing her happiness, Ya Molian also felt joyful.
“I made four of them, two in pure gold and two in silver. Make sure to keep them safe.”
Filled with gratitude, Lin Caisang held onto Ya Molian’s arm and rested her head on his shoulder.
“Brother Molian, I don’t know how I’d manage without you.”
This man had thought of everything for her, leaving no stone unturned. She felt like she was becoming an idle freeloader who just ate and slept all day.
Ya Molian used his other hand to pat her cheeks.
He would always be by
Lin Caisang nodded vigorously.
For the next few days, Lin Caisang was busy making scar removal cream on Manghuang Mountain. Lin Chushui took care of picking wild fruits and drying them without her help.
Because they had only rented the store for a month, they were short on manpower and couldn’t afford to pick wild fruits themselves.
At this point, Lu Qiubo suggested buying wild fruits from the villagers.
Although Lin Caisang had her concerns, she agreed as there were too many things that needed her attention. She shared her concerns with her family.
Her grandpa came up with a good idea.
He suggested that they could have a select few families sell the wild fruits to them, and refuse the fruits from others.
Just like Uncle Jin did when buying pig fodder, he would only accept it from a few selected sellers and refuse fodder from anyone else.
They decided to follow the same method.
Thus, they selected a few specific families to pick wild fruits, including Ya Yufeng’s family, who used to often go hunting with Ya Molian, Enxi’s family, and several families who were on good terms with Lu Qiubo.
Initially, they could follow Ya Molian into the mountains to pick more cubilose to sell, but now they preferred picking wild fruits because the price Lin Caisang offered was high, which earned them more money than they’d get from selling cubilose.
More importantly, wild fruits were consistently available, whilst finding cubilose often depended on luck. The risk of going hungry was also considerably higher.
One day, while Lin Caisang was working on Manghuang Mountain, the door to the pharmacy was opened abruptly. She looked over to see Lin Chushui.
“Chushui, what’s up?”
Usually, Lin Chushui wouldn’t disturb her when she was making medicine. If he was here now, he clearly needed something.
“Sister Sangsang, last night I overheard Third Uncle and Brother Changfeng whispering to each other.” Lin Chushui got straight to the point.
“What’s up? What were they talking about?”
Lin Caisang asked, without any suspicion.
