The Herbal Scents of Farm Life

"Half and half?"

Lin Changhong didn't understand what this 'half and half' meant.

"Big brother, let me ask you, who do Grandpa and Grandma care about the most?" Lin Caisang looked at Lin Changhong, cradling her own chin in her hand as she asked.

"Of course it's you."

Lin Changhong rolled his eyes and replied rather irritably.

"If something were to truly happen to you, wouldn't grandpa and grandma follow you...quit..." Before he could finish, his face had darkened considerably. The whole person didn't feel good, and even more so, he angrily slammed a fist on the bed.

"This Liu Rumei, doesn't she fear causing a death?"

"Heh heh."

Lin Caisang also grinned, her smile not reaching her eyes.

"If this time I really got trapped in the Chen Family and couldn't get out, who would know that it was Liu Rumei's doing? Nowadays, Second Uncle has some abilities, even wanting to snatch a low level government position in the county office. How could he have relatives like us in such difficult circumstances?"

At these words, Lin Changhong's eyes became even redder.

Sangsang is the apple of the elders' eye, held like a valuable gem in the mouth and hands, for fear of melting away or shattering into pieces. Especially after their father's disappearance, the elders regarded Sangsang as their only pillar to carry on living.

If something really happened to Sangsang, how could the elders continue living?

"Sangsang, are we just going to let this slide?" He asked Lin Caisang resentfully.

"What else can we do if we don't let it slide? We have no proof, how can we outtalk them? At most, we can accuse the Chen Family of plotting my murder."

Lin Caisang shrugged.

Liu Rumei's family is in business in town and has even spread to the county, how could our family ever compete with people like them? Unless... Grandpa and Grandma risk it all to accuse Liu Baixiao of being an undutiful son in the county office.

In that case, no matter how capable Liu Baixiao is, he won't be able to hold office in the county.

But even if Liu Baixiao is undutiful, he is still their son, which parents don't cherish their children? They might sound tough on the outside, but what they feel inside, who knows?

She didn't want Ms. Lu of Lin Family to be too embarrassed either.

"Big brother, how about this?"

She beckoned at Lin Changhong, who immediately leaned in.

The two of them discussed in hushed voices for a while. Finally, under Ms. Lu of Lin Family's urging, Lin Changhong went to the main room to eat, while Lin Caisang's meal was brought into the quilt by Ms. Lu for her to eat.

…

"I've found out."

The house next to the old Lin Family's home was Ya Molian's, Ya Enxi just went to his own house for a while, and he had already found out everything that had happened to Lin Caisang.

"It was Lin Family's Second Aunt, she secretly tricked Caisang into going to the county to be sold as a misconceived child to bring joy to others!"

He had clearly told Ya Molian everything he had heard, and in his heart, he had cursed Liu Rumei a thousand times over, wishing he could bite a piece of meat off her!

"Liu Baixiao's woman?"

It was early spring, Ya Molian was only wearing a single layer, her hair loose. It looked like she had just had a bath. Hearing what Ya Enxi had to say, she raised an eyebrow.

"Isn't it that Liu Baixiao?" Ya Enxi nodded.

Over the years, Liu Baixiao's name had become notorious in their village. Everyone who mentioned this name couldn't help but feel disgusted.

"I heard that the Liu Family has been doing quite well in the county and wants to get Liu Baixiao a ninth rank agriculture historian position, but they're only short of some money. Isn't it just so, they targeted Caisang."

As he saw it, Liu Baixiao was nothing but a pile of dog shit!
