The Herbal Scents of Farm Life
Chapter 175 - 175 175 Isnt it me

Chapter 175: Chapter 175: Isn’t it me? Chapter 175: Chapter 175: Isn’t it me? But what about Lin Caihe? She had been spoiled rotten and didn’t even realize it herself. Always comparing herself to Sangsang without any understanding of what she actually had to compare.

“This also frees up some time for your elder brother to read more.”

“I…”

Lin Caihe opened her mouth but couldn’t respond. After a long pause, she finally managed to say something.

“Grandma, you know that I’m not good at cooking.”

“That’s exactly why you need to practice. What groom would dare to propose if a lady couldn’t cook?” Lu Qiubo reasoned, leaving no room for discussion.

“So it’s settled, you’ll take care of the household chores from now on and let your brother focus on his studies.”

Lin Caisang: “…”

Corners of her mouth twitched as she mulled over Grandma’s words. She can’t cook, doesn’t do laundry, and don’t even mention about fetching firewood or water. Who would dare propose to such a girl?

Grandma, are you sure you are talking about Lin Caihe, and not me?

…

At the Liu Family, even before Liu Baixiao could step into his home with a somber expression, he saw a row of officers rushing towards his residence, knocking on his front door.

The housekeeper of the Liu Residence thought Liu Baixiao had returned and without asking who was outside, opened the door. But the sight of so many officers left them dumbstruck.

“Hey, you… you…”

They wanted to stop the officers from entering, but these were government officials. They were just commoners, slaves even, who dared not step in their path.

Outside, Liu Baixiao watched, frozen, as officers rushed into his home. It took him a while to react, and with a sudden realization, he dashed towards his home, his face turning ashen.

But he was a step too late. Liu Qingshui, who was enjoying fruits at home, had already been shackled and was being taken away by the officers.

Behind them, Liu Rumei cried her eyes out, clinging desperately onto Liu Qingshui’s clothes, while Qingshui shrieked and howled, begging Rumei to bring Lin Changfeng to take the blame.

“Mother, hurry to Ya Village, or you won’t see your son again, hurry up!”

His mother had clearly said that Lin Changfeng would take the fall for him. He had just emerged from the corner, intending to make up for the hardships he experienced these days.

Who would’ve thought that, after only a few bites of the fruit, the officers would show up? This was just unfair.

“Qingshui, Qingshui.”

Liu Rumei was in utter disarray, torn between the pain of seeing her son taken away and the worry of her daughter’s marriage falling through. This might even lead to her family being disliked by the patriarch of the Liu Family.

If that happens, her entire family would be doomed.

“Officer, this is not my son’s doing. It’s Lin Changfeng from Ya Village. He took advantage of looking like my son to make trouble outside. It was him, catch him, please don’t arrest my son Qingshui.”

In her panic, she hurriedly pleaded with the officers.

At this moment, she desperately hoped that Liu Baixiao could bring Lin Changfeng and exchange him for her son. Otherwise, it would be her doom too.

“Not his doing? I don’t care for your nonsense, take him away.” The officer paid no heed to Liu Rumei’s words and took away a crying and screaming Liu Qingshui.

“Qingshui, Qingshui…”
