Ya Yinlai became furious after hearing her words.
However, she couldn’t retaliate, for it was she who initially tried to flirt with Ya Molian, to win him over to her side, and keep him from pairing with Ya Jinlai. She had even climbed into Molian’s bed.
But back then, Molian had immediately told them that he was moving out and would no longer live at home.
This issue, even till now, had always been raised by their parents, causing her to work extra hard at home because of her guilt.
"What’s wrong with me? Didn’t I do this for our family’s benefit? If Brother Molian had been with me from the start, would he have moved out? It’s all your fault, you deliberately sabotaged my relationship with Brother Molian!"
"Don’t kid yourself. You were only how old then? Could Brother Molian really have taken advantage of you?" Ya Jinlai looked at Ya Yinlai and said.
Five years ago, they both were only twelve. Her sister dared even to suggest that. If it had really worked out, the saliva alone could have drowned Ya Molian. Anyone with a brain could figure out that Ya Molian wouldn’t have done something like that.
Unless he was stupid!
"Enough, stop arguing, both of you!"
When Ya Tu saw them on the brink of a fight, he quickly rebuked them.
"One after the other, aren’t you going to let me rest? You—young as you are, you learn nothing good. And you’re telling me you have reasons for this? Also you, as the older sister, don’t even know how to support your sister and instead dare to yell about it. Is this how I taught you? And another thing..."
The silent Eldest Son Ya became frightened when his father glared at him.
"Dad, I didn’t do anything. At most, I spent a few more silver coins on Molian. What’s wrong with that? Since he earns so much money, spending a few hundred more wouldn’t matter to me. Besides, you also spend his money."
Ya Tu was completely flabbergasted by his son’s words.
"You stay at home every day, don’t you know to go up the mountain and collect cubilose when the weather is nice? Without cubilose, what are we going to eat and drink?"
Was he supposed to, an old man, go to collect cubilose? He didn’t dare - a slight tremble in his calf and it would be his old life on the line!
"Why should I go? Now that Molian doesn’t even go, where am I supposed to get cubilose? I’m not going!" Eldest Son Ya instantly shook his head.
In the past, he could have followed Molian and might have managed to find a few leftovers. But what about now? Molian was always accompanying Lin Caisang on Manghuang Mountain, so what could he accomplish on his own?
If he could actually collect cubilose, that would indeed be strange!
Ya Tu was indescribably livid.
But this was his only son. What could he do?
"Dad, don’t bother with big brother. Let’s quickly think of a solution. Everyone in the village is saying that Brother Molian and that vixen Lin Caisang are going to get engaged. If the two of them end up together, what will happen to our family?"
Ya Jinlai didn’t have time to bother with her brother. She grabbed Ya Tu’s arm and shook it vigorously.
"Ya Tu, Ya Tu, are you home?"
Just as Ya Tu was about to reject her, he heard a shout from outside the courtyard and was startled.
"That’s the Clan Chief’s voice. What does he want?"
Upon hearing the voice, Ya Tu’s wife, Shen Jiaonan, realized it was Clan Chief Ya. Her disdain was clearly displayed on her face.
