Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Why So Stupid? Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Why So Stupid? Who could blame her for being suspicious of Ya Molian, given that she had once saved his life? This man, in her opinion, was far too shrewd and far too terrifying, it was better to avoid him.
Yet, the more she wanted to avoid him, the more frequently Ya Molian seemed to come to her house. What a predicament!
“Brother, let me tell you, Brother Molian is dangerous, try to limit your interaction with him, okay?”
She was reluctant to say this but she felt she had to caution her elder brother: Ya Molian was too mysterious, he wasn’t someone they should be associating with.
Dealing with Ya Molian was like courting a tiger for its skin, not something a wise person would do.
However, when her elder brother heard her warning, he gave her a strange look, clearly disagreeing, “Sangsang, you have not read many books, how come this foolishness?”
This elder brother of hers, she really didn’t want to talk with him anymore. She was being so serious and sincere, but he thought she was joking.
“You clean up seeing as you enjoy doing this. I’m going to the kitchen to see if there’s anything to eat, hmph.”
She tossed the medicinal materials in her hand into the wooden basin, splashing water all over Lin Changhong’s face. Only then did she feel a little avenged. She stormed off to the kitchen, quite annoyed.
“You, girl, are really…nevermind, I won’t squabble with a child like you,” Lin Changhong gave an exasperated look at her departing figure and remarked.
How much older was her elder brother than her? Half an hour? Or maybe not even that? Yet, he still referred to her as a child!
What did she care to argue with someone whose mind was overheated, blindly worshipping Ya Molian!
“Brother Changfeng, why are you cooking again? Where is Grandma?” In the kitchen, the figure turned out to be Lin Changfeng, who was supposed to be reading in his room. But there was no sign of Ms. Lu of Lin Family.
“Grandma went to find some people,” Lin Changfeng said.
“We start digging the pond tomorrow. We need more people. As the purpose of the pond is for water storage, we should get started quickly. The rainy season will be here in another month, not the heavy rainy season, but whenever it rains, digging the pond will become difficult. Changhong and I discussed it and decided to complete the digging within a month.”
“That might just be enough. We have a lot of people, we can do it,” said Lin Caisang.
There were more than a few people in their village who could work, digging a pond did not require any particular skill, just brute strength, anyone could do it.
“I’m assuming, quite a few aunts have registered here today?” she asked.
“Yes, quite a few,” Lin Changfeng nodded.
Since everyone wanted to do it, it was better to let all of them help out.
“Women are naturally less strong than men, so we have negotiated that the uncles will get twenty wen each day, and the aunts fifteen wen. It’s better than finding work outside and there will be no one speaking ill of us.”
Speaking this, he glanced at Lin Caisang.
“However, it does mean spending more money.”
Currently, the only one earning money at home was Sangsang. Gathering medicinal materials on the mountain was not easy. He was worried.
“Don’t worry about the money, I’ve got it covered.”
Lin Caisang slapped her own chest, speaking confidently.
She had earned five hundred liang today. Although it was money that had to be hidden, the money earned by selling medicinal materials could be considered little or much, all depending on her own efforts. So, there wasn’t much to worry about.
“Brother Molian mentioned today that he wanted to help out, Sangsang, do you think this is a good thing?” Lin Changfeng asked.
