“There should still be some straw at home, so I…”

As she opened the door, she was muttering about how she could use the straw to make some nets, where she could place the silkworms until they formed cocoons and turned into ice butterflies.

However, with one foot out of the door, she looked up to see the least welcome person in their home, Liu Baixiao, was whispering something to his son, Liu Qingshui, next to him.

She became cautious.

“Second Uncle, what are you doing?”

“Ah!”

Liu Baixiao had not noticed her opening the door. When he heard someone calling his name, he was immediately startled and almost leapt off the ground. It took him quite a while to calm down and take a deep breath.

He turned his head, watching Lin Caisang with a guilty expression.

“It’s Sangsang. Everyone else has already woken up. Why are you getting up only now? We, as the younger ones, should not be so disobedient.”

Lin Caisang:”…”

Is he feeling guilty about doing something wrong and wants to pre-emptively shut her up, resolving her suspicions?

Heh, would she be someone who’d be intimidated easily?

“Well, is that so? I can’t be as ‘obedient’ as Second Uncle and Cousin Qingshui, can I?” She sneered, giving a derisive glance at the two, she said.

“You－”

Liu Qingshui chokes on her words. The anger in his heart was rising.

“Qingshui.”

Observing that his son was about to lose his temper, Liu Baixiao quickly stopped him.

Lin Caisang was the precious child of the Lin family. If they offended her, the things they planned to do later would not be so easy. Turning back, he piled on the smiles towards Lin Caisang once again.

“Sangsang, Second Uncle heard that your father bought Manghuang Mountain for you?”

“Yes.”

Lin Caisang nodded.

“It’s what my dad bought for me. But does that have anything to do with you, Second Uncle? Why are you asking without reason? What are you aiming at? Why not make it clear?”

“Uh.”

Liu Baixiao was also left speechless by her words.

He muttered to himself: He had met Lin Caisang several times before, but he never knew her to be so sharp-tongued. Did she take some sort of elixir today, daring to talk to him like that?

“Heh, heh heh, Sangsang is becoming more and more articulate.”

“Indeed. They say experience is the best teacher. I was almost buried alive. If I don’t learn, I might really be taken by the King of Hell.” Lin Caisang shrugged, speaking as if it was nothing serious.

Liu Baixiao: “!!!”

How am I to reply to that? His wife was the one responsible for almost burying Lin Caisang alive. Now that she was bringing it up, she was clearly trying to shut his mouth!

“Second Uncle, why did you come to my house this early in the morning?”

Seeing his embarrassing silence, Lin Caisang asked again.

“Don’t tell me it’s for breakfast? Second Uncle, consider the hard times we had last year, we have no surplus food to offer you. As a son, you should understand the difficulties of Grandpa and Grandma, right?

Furthermore, they say a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. After so many years in the Liu family, surely you must have saved something? I bet you have more than enough money to last several lifetimes. With all this wealth, you still come to our house to freeload. If people find out, what will they think about you? You should maintain some dignity for yourself.”

“I…”

Liu Baixiao opened his mouth, wanting to explain that his situation in the Liu family was not as good as others imagined, it was in fact very poor.

But would Lin Caisang give him a chance to explain?
