The Herbal Scents of Farm Life

"Grandma, I'm hungry. Didn't big brother dig up some bamboo shoots? Can we have stir-fried bamboo shoots for lunch?"

Seeing the hesitation on Ms. Lu of Lin Family's face, Lin Caisang realized she still cared deeply for her son, Liu Baixiao. No matter how angry she was, he was her son, her own flesh and blood.

As such, she promptly changed the topic.

"Stir-fry bamboo shoots? Alright, grandma will make it for you."

Upon hearing her granddaughter's request for bamboo shoots, Ms. Lu immediately rose to prepare the meal, for it was indeed time to make lunch.

"Sangsang, you... were you afraid that grandma might overhear something?" Lin Changhong waited for Ms. Lu to leave before turning to his sister.

"Big brother, are you dumb?"

Lin Caisang rolled her eyes, gave a disdainful snort and expressed her disbelief in her brother's simplistic thinking.

"No matter how many mistakes Second Uncle has made, grandma still cares about him. You know how she is, tough on the outside, soft on the inside. Despite her not acknowledging him as her son anymore, she would surely be anxious if anything were to happen to him."

And as for dealing with Elder Mr. Zhou and his family, if it weren't for her intervention, their family would have been bullied, as opposed to what had happened – Elder Mr. Zhou and his family leaving in a huff.

"You are not thinking seriously, if she wanted to be ruthless, she could have sent Second Uncle off to the county yamen for the crime of unfilial piety and then his fate would be sealed. But obviously, that's unrealistic."

"This… makes sense."

Lin Changhong thought for a moment and nodded his agreement.

"So, what should we do? Just let it slide?"

"Mm."

Lin Caisang naturally nodded in agreement.

"What else can we do? Liu Rumei and Liu Yushui have gotten what they wanted. Haven't you heard that Liu Yushui was caught with Zhou Liang in the bamboo forest doing who-knows-what? Not to mention Liu Rumei's plan to force a marriage with the Zhou family?"

"Force a marriage?"

Hearing this, Lin Changhong was shocked.

What kind of a person was Elder Mr. Zhou? He would never let his grandson marry Liu Yushui, especially given the scandalous circumstances of their relationship! It was forbidden!

Would Elder Mr. Zhou accept such a granddaughter-in-law?

Not to mention Madam Zhou, she wouldn't want such a daughter-in-law either. Her son was a scholar and was preparing for the provincial examinations this year. Thinking of having a calculating, cruel daughter-in-law, Madam Zhou might age prematurely.

"Yes, force a marriage."

Lin Caisang nodded again, raised her hand, and touched her chubby chin.

"Brother, how long do you think Liu Rumei will need to harass the Zhou family until they agree to the marriage? A day, two days, or a month?"

"Uh..."

Lin Changhong was stunned.

Why did he see a hint of amusement and excitement in his sister's eyes? But he had to admit he was somewhat excited too.

"Who knows how long it will drag on."

"Let the two families fight it out. The more they fight, the harder their lives will be in the future. Also, the more they fight, the more peaceful our lives will be for a while. But if Liu Yushui really marries into the Zhou family, there's bound to be more drama in the future."

Lin Caisang gave a light chuckle, and said.

Liu Yushui was just like Liu Rumei, highly vindictive.

She suffered a great loss at our hands, once she gets a chance to retaliate, wouldn't she grab it with both hands?

"So, what should we do?"

Upon hearing her words, a look of concern crossed Lin Changhong's face.
