Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Such a wicked heart! Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Such a wicked heart! Now that Lin Caisang claimed she rescued Ya Molian, even if she did not, others would believe Lin Caisang rather than her.
“I saved him, Ya Nian’er.”
Seeing that she couldn’t deny it, Lin Caisang had no choice but to admit that she had saved Ya Molian.
“The neighbors around here knew that I had been digging for herbs up in the mountains for these days. It was when I was digging for herbs in the mountains that I found the unconscious Brother Molian, and then brought him back. But after all Brother Molian is a man, so it’s not decent for me, as a young girl, to have rescued him. I left him on the nearby ridge, thinking that many people were mowing pig grass at that time, and someone would soon discover Brother Molian and send him home.”
She slightly shifted her gaze, took a glance at Ya Molian, then turned her head to look at Ya Nian’er.
“Ya Nian’er, it’s wrong not to repay kindness, but it’s even worse for you to force others to do as you wish under the pretext of gratitude, just like what you’re doing. If you don’t want to save him, you don’t have to. No one is forcing you to do so. But since you saved someone, you shouldn’t demand them to repay your kindness. Otherwise, with your ulterior motives, you can only embarrass yourself.”
“Humph, Lin Caisang, you have such a glib tongue. Now that your family can enjoy the pork and your mouth is greasy, you can just do as you like, huh? What do you mean by ‘forcing others under gratitude’? If you don’t, then why not give the wild boar meat to my family instead of secretly enjoying it yourself?”
Ms. Jin of Ya family suddenly jumped out, pointing at Lin Caisang and scolded.
“I didn’t expect you to be so cheeky. You’re eating the wild boar meat that Ya Molian sent as gratitude, and now you still have the nerve to lecture us? You are such a heartless young girl!”
Considering Lin Caisang’s position in the village, she dare not really do anything to her, so she could only scold. If it were anyone else, she would have slapped them early on.
But even though she was restraining herself, she still looked as if she really wanted to start a fight.
“The matter of Sang saving me is only my speculation, and repaying the favor is my own business. Auntie Jin, what I should do is not up to an outsider like you. This is my home. I ask you and Uncle Ya Hai, and all of your family, to leave, and never come to my house again.”
Ya Molian stepped forward, shielding Lin Caisang behind him, and strongly stated to Ms. Jin of Ya Family.
Turning his head, he looked at Ya Hai.
“Uncle Ya Hai, I acknowledge that you saved me on the ridge, but two years ago when I was collecting cubilose on the mountain, I saved you, didn’t I? When you didn’t fall from the cliff, didn’t I save you? We are even now. In the future… don’t let me see your two daughters coming here. I can’t take the blame for damaging a young girl’s reputation.”
Ya Hai was so angry that he wanted to stamp his feet and beat his chest with frustration, but he got choked up.
However, what Ya Molian said made it hard for him to find any fault. The fact that Ya Molian had saved him back then was known to everyone in the village. He even said in public that Ya Molian was a person who knows how to repay favor without asking for anything in return. Was it not the case that he had really repaid him?
Now… he really regretted having shot himself in the foot.
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Ya Molian’s eyes.
“You… you just wait and see!”
Ya Hai, having no other choice, could only leave with a sour grape look on his face.
Ya Nian’er still didn’t want to give up on Ya Molian, she looked at him with tearful eyes, trying to evoke his protective instinct.
