Lin Changhong forced out a sentence, but where on his face was there any sign of happiness?
"Sangsang, did Brother Molian say anything to you before he left? What will you do now that he’s gone?"
How could it be that just after their engagement was set, the man just left? Further, he had asked grandma, but she didn’t know who Brother Molian’s relatives were, or how to find them.
What if Brother Molian leaves and never comes back, what will happen to his sister?
Upon hearing this, Lin Caisang blinked, put down the wild fruit in her hand and looked at her brother.
"How will I cope? I will go on with my life as usual. After all, Brother Molian has just gone home, it’s not like I can’t live without him, right?"
Lin Changhong was so angry at her words that he didn’t know where to vent.
"Little girl, how can you not understand? Brother Molian left without giving you any instructions. You’ve just become engaged, what if he doesn’t come back? What will the people in the village say about you?"
She had already broken off one engagement because of that jerk Zhou Liang, now if Ya Molian pulls off something similar, will his sister have any reputation left?
She never expected that before outsiders began to speculate about her, her own brother started worrying for her.
"Brother, what messy things are you thinking about? Brother Molian explained everything to me before he left. He said he will come back once he takes care of his family’s affairs. You’re already anxious even though he’s just left. How will you live your future days ?"
She shook her head, picked up another fruit and began peeling it.
"All right, let’s not talk about this anymore. I heard from Lvzhi that there was a skirmish at the pond down the mountain today. Why don’t you go and ask Clan Chief Lin about it?"
Lin Caisang cut off what he wanted to continue saying and instructed him to go on some errand.
"A skirmish? How come I’m not aware of it?"
Lin Changhong’s attention was immediately drawn away. He forgot about Ya Molian’s departure.
"I’ll go see Clan Chief Lin. People can’t even draw water peacefully. Do they no longer wish to use the water? Humph!" Speaking so, he turned and left.
"Miss, the trouble was only..."
Feng Lvzhi, who was sitting beside her, looked up, intending to explain.
She just saw someone taking advantage of their good relations with the Lin family, refusing to pay a single penny. They had a dispute with the person sent by Clan Chief Lin, but in the end, it was suppressed. They paid the money before they took the water.
It was just a small episode, not a big deal at all.
Before she finished, Lin Caisang directly replied.
She just wanted her brother to divert his attention away from Ya Molian and do something else to avoid bothering her with his nagging.
"Chushui, have you visited the Liu family today? How is Liu Yushui doing?" she asked Lin Chushui.
"The two kids are still silent, always sleeping. I followed your instructions and made chicken soup for her. I cooked the food too, but...it didn’t taste very good."
Lin Chushui said, with a bashful smile.
He wasn’t particularly good at cooking. But there was no other way, after all, one couldn’t expect Liu Yushui to cook for herself. She was too weak after giving premature birth. Moreover, after that visit to the bamboo grove, she was bed-ridden and simply couldn’t get up.
Given Liu Yushui’s poor relationships within the village, who would go to help her? So he had to cook for her.
