Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Impressive, right? My Sangsang came up with it Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Impressive, right? My Sangsang came up with it “I’m sorry for worrying Grandpa Lin. They can’t do much to me,”
Ya Molian said while looking at Lin Changhong.
“Changhong, where’s your hunting catch? Bring it, let’s go to the town together. The earlier we go, the sooner we’ll return.”
Lin Changhong responded.
“Grandpa, Brother Molian and I are heading to town. Sangsang and Third Uncle will accompany you around. Sangsang, don’t walk too much today, remember to come back for dinner and don’t go hungry.”
Lin Caisang responded and moved behind Lin Laogeng, pushing his wheelchair out of Ya Molian’s yard while Lin Baiyi followed closely.
“Eh, Changhong, what’s with this chair of yours? It even has wheels. I didn’t notice that before.” Ya Enxi looked astonished as he noticed that Lin Laogeng’s chair could roll.
“Impressive isn’t it? It was Sangsang’s idea. She put in a lot of effort into making it.” Lin Changhong replied proudly, raising his head.
“Oh, quit showing off. Your sister isn’t the only one capable in this world, alright?”
Ya Enxi gave Lin Changhong an exasperated glance. This kid may look young, but he constantly brags about his sister, not caring if anyone might get sick of hearing it.
“Well, of course! Who else could do it, if not my Sangsang?” Lin Changhong found this to be nothing but the obvious.
Ya Enxi shook his head at him, but still glanced at Lin Caisang who was gradually moving farther away pushing Lin Laogeng’s wheelchair. “This chair is truly good. You must have spent quite a bit of money on it, right? No wonder you’ve been working so hard hunting these days. You spent it all on this chair, didn’t you?”
He noticed that even the chair had metal parts, quite a number of them too.
“It’s for Grandpa. No matter how much it costs, it’s worth it,” Lin Changhong said.
“Brother Molian, wait for me. I’ll bring the game so we can go to town together.”
After saying this to Ya Molian, Ya Enxi took his eyes off Lin Caisang and went on his way.
When Lin Changhong returned from the town, the sky was almost dark and Ya Molian and the others had already returned. He was the last one to come back.
Once he returned to his courtyard, he was about to drink a scoop of cold water when Lin Caisang saw him and scolded him for it.
He pouted and went into the main room to get some distilled water to drink.
“Sangsang, I asked around while in town. The Zhou family has been having a hard time because of Liu Rumei. Now their neighbors are aware that they are climbing high and stepping low by deserting our poor relatives and marrying into the prominent Liu family.”
After wiping his mouth with his sleeve, he told Lin Caisang.
“The official that Second Uncle aspires to be is in trouble. Liu Rumei has been too busy dealing with that to bother the Zhou family. I think she has been focusing on that issue,” he lowered his voice and whispered to Lin Caisang.
It may have been a relief for the Zhou family, but the one thing Lin Changhong knew Sangsang did not want, was Liu Baixiao taking a high official post.
If Liu Baixiao does get a position of power, things would be even harder for their family.
“We must keep a close eye on her and not give Liu Rumei chance.”
Lin Caisang thought for a moment and took Lin Changhong to a corner of the courtyard, where they started whispering to each other.
“Anything else you can think of?” Lin Changhong asked.
“This is what you do: spread the word that the Chen family plans to bury me alive. Tell them it was Liu Rumei’s servant who told you. Say Liu Rumei wants us to report to officials, hoping to extort some money from the Chen family for Liu Baixiao’s career.”
Lin Caisang suggested.
