Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Big Brother, Do You Have The Face? Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Big Brother, Do You Have The Face? Lin Caisang: “…”
Could she say that she really didn’t want to eat at all?
No, what she meant was, could this dangerous man, Ya Molian, be driven away? Her sharp intuition told her that Ya Molian was definitely not a good man.
She stifled a grimace, gave a casual look at Ya Molian, and then turned to look at her elder brother, beckoning him.
“Brother, come over, let’s wash the medicinal herbs together.”
Lin Changhong nodded in response.
“Brother Molian, you sit for a while, I’ll be back soon.”
Her elder brother really worshipped Ya Molian like a God. Did he really need to inform him every time he walked away? Was it necessary?
She silently shook her head and turned to walk towards the courtyard.
“Molian, come have a drink with me.” Lin Laogeng called out to Ya Molian.
“Brother, how come you’re back? Why is Brother Molian at our house?”
She dumped all the medicinal herbs into a large wooden basin. As Lin Changhong brought bucket after bucket of water, Lin Caisang asked him from behind.
“Brother Molian? He heard that you were going to dig a pond on Manghuang Mountain and came to help. I guess he wants to repay the favor for you saving him.” Lin Changhong turned his head and looked at her, answering.
Lin Caisang: Repay what favor? It was clearly malicious intent. Could her brother not see that?
“What favor is he repaying? Didn’t we take his wild boar meat last time? We’ve repaid that favor a long time ago. Brother, are you silly? Just because he said he wanted to help, you let him come?”
She wanted to stamp her feet in frustration.
She had originally planned to find someone at home to cover for her so she could take on a high-level mission. Now, there was a wolf in her house. How was she supposed to leave and handle her own business?
She was certain that the moment she left the house, she wouldn’t escape the wolfish gaze of Ya Molian!
“So, if Brother Molian wants to help, am I supposed to not let him?” Lin Changhong innocently retorted.
“Besides, we’re not refusing to pay wages. It’s the same for everyone who comes to help. What’s the big deal? Having one more person will just help us finish faster, right?”
Lin Caisang glared at her older brother in dissatisfaction and cursed softly under her breath.
If Ya Molian wanted to earn money, wasn’t there plenty of opportunities in the mountains? Just strolling around there would earn him more than the ten to twenty copper plates he’d earn here in a day.
She’d believe in a ghost before she believed that Ya Molian was truly here to help!
“Sangsang, do you not want Brother Molian to help?” Lin Changhong, realizing his sister’s thoughts, asked.
Lin Caisang was taken aback by his question.
“That’s not what I meant. You misunderstood.”
She hastily denied, surely she couldn’t let Lin Changhong feel she disliked Ya Molian. After all, her family had a good relationship with Ya Molian, so she couldn’t act too extreme.
“I just feel that Brother Molian earns quite a lot from hunting in the mountains every day. If we let him help us, won’t it disrupt his earning? Don’t you feel guilty, brother?”
“Why should I feel guilty?” Lin Changhong responded naturally.
In his eyes, Ya Molian was like his own elder brother. So, what’s wrong with asking his elder brother to help with a small favor at home? Where was the guiltiness in that?
“Sangsang, you’re overthinking. Brother Molian isn’t the kind of person to be calculative.”
So did he mean that she was the calculative one???
Alright then, she admitted she was a bit calculative.
