The left-behind Lin Caisang: "!!!"
Ya Molian’s ability to go with the flow is simply unparalleled, isn’t it?
She had been guessing how he would bring up this matter during dinner tonight. Yet, she hadn’t expected that as soon as Ya Tu arrived, he instantly did Ya Molian such a big favor.
And why did her Grandpa and Grandma readily agree? Even if they didn’t refuse, they should, at least, have put Ya Molian on hold for a while. Were they that eager to marry off their granddaughter?
"Sister Sangsang, what are you dazed about? They’ve gone to the main room to discuss your engagement," said Lin Caiqing, who was standing by Lin Caisang, giving her a push and reminding her.
This was about Sister Sangsang’s lifelong happiness. Wasn’t she interested in having a say or casting a listening ear?
"You’re getting engaged to Brother Molian. Surely, there will be a banquet, right? It’s bound to be so lively." Thinking of the delicious food, she almost started to drool.
"Aren’t you disappointed with my engagement banquet with Brother Molian?" Lin Caisang turned her head and looked at Lin Caiqing, asking.
Brother Guman was just driven out not long ago. His family was poor, and his arm had not fully recovered. Collecting cubilose from the mountain was impossible. Therefore, when Lin Caiqing got engaged to him, they simply asked Clan Chief Ya and some chiefs of the Ya Clan to come over, and had a simple meal in Guman’s home, which had little to nothing.
What’s more, even the vegetables they had were brought over from their own home.
Although no one said anything, as the food tasted good and everyone was very satisfied, they all knew in their hearts that this match was extremely humble. The groom’s family had brought nothing to the bride’s family.
Previously, she had been reluctant for Ya Molian to propose their marriage so quickly because she was afraid that when compared, Lin Caiqing would feel slighted.
Third Uncle’s two daughters, with one already having taken the wrong path, she didn’t want Lin Caiqing to feel inferior either. If that turned out to be the case, she would truly feel sorry towards Third Uncle Lin Baiyi.
"What’s there to be disappointed about? Brother Guman and Brother Molian aren’t the same people. Why would I compare them?" Lin Caiqing shrugged, speaking indifferently.
"Besides, I think Brother Guman is a good man, and that’s enough. I don’t really care about the rest. Life is what we make it, isn’t it? Just because it’s not good now doesn’t mean it won’t be better later. Those who look down on Brother Guman will realize how wrong they were!"
Hearing this, Lin Caisang let out a sigh of relief.
"I’m glad you think this way."
Initially, she was thinking that if Ya Molian really wanted to arrange a grand ceremony, she would definitely refuse. They were sisters of the Lin family; they shouldn’t have such a big difference.
However, considering Ya Molian’s nature, he certainly wouldn’t allow her to be mistreated. Maybe this situation will even lead to a big argument.
This was not what she hoped for.
"Qing’er, how are you doing with your studies under your tutor?"
Hearing this, Lin Caiqing pouted and looked pitifully at Lin Caisang.
"Sister Sangsang, can we talk about something more enjoyable?"
When it came to studying, she’d rather go to Manghuang Mountain to earn money. As for the characters... although they were recognizable to her, she found it really difficult to understand them!
"Is this topic not good?" Lin Caisang asked with a smile.
Lin Caiqing, among the girls in the family, was comparatively more lively. Asking her to sit quietly and read was quite a tall order.
However, recognizing characters was a must. Even if she didn’t like it, she couldn’t avoid it. Lin Caisang would be there to encourage her.
"No, it’s not good at all." Lin Caiqing pouted.
