Chapter 514: Chapter 514: Indeed, A Grown Woman Doesn’t Stay Home Chapter 514: Chapter 514: Indeed, A Grown Woman Doesn’t Stay Home “I just want to learn how to read, just like Brother Changhong.” Lin Chushui thought for a while and stated with a determined look.
He had never thought about trying for academic honours; he just thought he might be able to help Lin Caisang in the future. If he couldn’t recognize a single word, what could he do? So, he must learn to read.
Lin Caisang didn’t insist on him doing anything, and nodded in agreement.
Lin Chushui left contentedly, going down the mountain to the kitchen to get eggs. He needed to speak to Third Uncle Lin Baiyi and ask him to bring Guman to Manghuang Mountain so Lin Caisang could treat his hand injury.
“Father, have you spoken to Sister Sangsang?”
In the Lin Family house, Lin Caiqing interrogated her father once again.
Lin Baiyi, who was sharpening a bamboo container with a small knife, nearly cut his hand. He looked up at his daughter who was squatting next to him, her rabbit-like eyes staring at him intently.
He sighed in his heart: true enough that girls grow up without restraint.
This daughter of his hadn’t even grown up yet, her heart was already set on venturing out, always asking him about Guman day after day.
“Father, did you hear me? I asked you a question. Did you talk to Sister Sangsang about Brother Guman’s situation? You see, it’s almost time for the harvest, Brother Guman’s hand needs treatment.”
Seeing that her father didn’t respond, Lin Caiqing thought he hadn’t heard her clearly, so she asked again.
“Girl Qing, you see how busy your Sister Sangsang is, she doesn’t have time for this now. She intends to treat Guman, but do you really think it’s appropriate to bother her about this?”
Lin Baiyi asked his daughter in a serious tone.
“Why don’t you ask your Sister Sangsang?”
Lin Caiqing felt choked up by her father’s words. What could she say?
“So, what should we do now?”
“Qing’er, Sister Sangsang said that when Third Uncle has the time, he should take Brother Guman to Manghuang Mountain, and she will examine Guman.”
Just as the young girl was frowning, Lin Chushui’s voice came from outside the courtyard. She brightened up instantly upon hearing it.
She left her father and ran over to Lin Chushui to confirm this.
“Of course it’s true.”
Lin Chushui gave her a smile.
“Third Uncle, when you’re free, please take Brother Guman to Manghuang Mountain. It’s secluded there, so no one will see Guman receiving treatment.”
“Alright, Chushui, thank you. Look at your Third Uncle, I was too embarrassed to mention it to your Sister Sangsang,” Lin Baiyi replied with a smile.
Every time he visited Manghuang Mountain, he saw how tirelessly Lin Caisang worked. If she wasn’t, she would lock herself in the medicinal room for an entire day.
“There’s no need for thanks, we’re all family.”
Lin Chushui scratched his head shyly and gave a bashful smile.
“I noticed that you and Brother Changfeng looked worried. Since Sister Sangsang is busy with her own work, why not let her treat Guman first? It won’t take up too much of her time.”
“Father, I’m going to find Brother Guman now.”
After hearing Lin Chushui’s words, Lin Caiqing was about to rush out to find Guman but was stopped by Lin Laogeng who had pushed his wheelchair out of the room.
“Little girl Qing, where are you going? Come back!”
Lin Caiqing immediately halted and returned, looking at her Grandpa.
“Grandpa, I am going to inform Brother Guman.”
“What are you doing? A little girl like you, not even betrothed, is so eager to go to a man’s house. What will people think if they see this?” Lin Laogeng furrowed his brow and frowned at her.
