Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Selling Flesh from One’s Own Body Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Selling Flesh from One’s Own Body “Lin Caihe, I’ve told you before, if you want silver, earn it yourself. This belongs to Sangsang and Changhong, do you think it’s yours?” Lin Baiyi roared in anger.
Every time he was infuriated by this unfilial daughter, he felt like he was going to keel over from a heart attack.
“Mother, arrange for He’er’s matchmaking tomorrow, let’s marry off this ignorant girl as soon as possible.”
Another day with this disgraceful daughter would shorten his lifespan.
Upon hearing Lin Baiyi’s words, Lin Caihe’s eyes immediately turned red.
“What are you talking about, Three? If the child misbehaves, just educate her a little bit. Where does this talk of marriage come from? She’s still a kid.” Ms. Lu of the Lin family said, irritated at her son.
“It’s precisely because every time she makes a mistake, everyone says she’s still a kid. That’s why she believes she is really young, that making mistakes is a matter of course. If this continues, we will never have tranquility at home, Mother!”
Lin Baiyi said angrily.
“She’s already thirteen, is she still a child? Is Sangsang still a child? Isn’t she out in the mountain every day digging medicinal herbs for money? Is Changhong still a child? Has he not gone into the dangerous mountains to hunt for money? Even Qing’er and Changyi want to go into the mountains to find wild chicken eggs, and Changfeng has to study daily, copying books into the night for money. Just look at her!”
It’s not that Lin Baiyi despised his daughter, but that she was truly spineless.
“Whenever there’s work at home, she’s nowhere to be found. Yet when it’s time to eat and buy things, she appears faster than anyone else!”
Lin Caihe’s face was scarlet with embarrassment as her father scolded her, her hands fidgeting in front of her, and her heart ached.
“What? Did your father say something wrong?”
Ms. Lin of the Yang family saw that she was still defiant and questioned her.
“The mountain is something that your eldest uncle gave to Sangsang and Changhong. Your parents have nothing to give to you. Or perhaps, do you want your father to sell his own flesh to buy you things?”
With her head lowered in unease, Lin Caihe still managed to sneak a glance at the deed in Lin Laogeng’s hand.
“The silver from great uncle is also part of the family’s property, I should have a share, right?” she muttered, thinking that others couldn’t hear her. However, everyone in the main hall heard her.
“Girl He, you truly don’t have a share in this deed, not even Changhong does.”
With a sharp gaze that swept over all the people in the main hall, Lin Laogeng finally looked at Lin Caisang, who had just turned his focus from Lin Caihe.
“Sangsang, what did your father say when he gave you this deed? If I’m not wrong, this land should be a dowry that your father prepared for you in advance, right?”
Lin Caisang choked at her grandpa’s words.
Grandpa, can you please not be so wise, leaving me at a loss for words?
“It seems, like, that’s maybe what he said.”
Sangsang, is it really okay for you to give away your dowry?
“Sangsang, is that true?” Lin Changhong asked.
Lin Caisang weakly nodded her head.
“Father really shouldn’t have. Was there a need for him to prepare Sangsang’s dowry? Am I, her blood brother, just a display item? Sangsang, in the future, your elder brother will prepare a better dowry for you.”
Lin Changhong pouted, expressing his disapproval to his sister.
Lin Caisang: …speechless and gazing towards the sky.
“Then Sangsang, what do you want to do with this land?” Lin Laogeng folded the deed again and handed it to Lin Caisang, asking.
