Chapter 221 - 221 221 As Long As There Is Something To Eat

Chapter 221: Chapter 221: As Long As There Is Something To Eat Chapter 221: Chapter 221: As Long As There Is Something To Eat She may work every day for her pay, but if he’s not on Manghuang Mountain working, how come he seems to have ample time to run by her house?

Why is it that he rushes over more eagerly than anyone else whenever something happens at her house? She even began to suspect that someone was always watching her house, ready to report any incidents to Ya Molian.

She stared at Ya Molian in bewilderment.

“I hunted a wild chicken on the mountain and brought half of it for you, besides…”

Ya Molian cast a sidelong glance at Liu Chushui, who had disappeared with the wooden basin, before shifting his gaze back to her.

“When Liu Chushui was at the Liu family, he was barely acknowledged by Mr. and Mrs. Liu Baixiao. The Liu family was never very kind to him either. He lived off Liu Qingshui’s leftovers, wore shabby clothes, but, instead, his personality was quite different from the rest of the Liu family.”

“Is that so?”

On hearing his words, Lin Caisang raised an eyebrow.

“There’s another matter, you….”

“The fact that Liu Qingshui saved someone?”

Before Lin Caisang could finish her sentence, Ya Molian started speaking. She nodded in agreement.

All these days it bothered her how someone like Liu Qingshui would save a person on the street. She seriously doubted if he would step on someone who fell in front of him.

“When he saved the person, there was a certain young lady passing by, who happened to be his crush, and she… is the only daughter of the county magistrate who doesn’t have a son and only this daughter.”

And Liu Qingshui, wanting to show off in front of the lady, ended up jumping into a big pit!

“Uh, cough, cough.”

Lin Caisang choked on her words…or rather her saliva!

Doesn’t this mean, dying under a peony flower and being a ghost with a style. Liu Qingshui, incompetent in everything else, surely knows how to persevere in courting disaster!

The only daughter of the county magistrate, ancient times value matching social status. How could she possibly marry a man from the Liu family with a merchant’s status?

Even if the county magistrate desired wealth, he would never pick someone from a lowly Liu family.

Though the Liu family might have some wealth, when compared to the richer families in Qianlin County, they were insignificant. As for Liu Qingshui… where did he get the confidence to think that he could win the county magistrate’s daughter?

“No pain, no gain.”

That was her conclusion.

“Then…”

“Sangsang, come and drink some ginger soup quickly. Where’s Chushui?”

Just as she was about to ask a question, she saw Yang Lin coming out with two bowls of ginger sugar water. Lin Caisang quickly took a deep breath, scrunched up her brows and plugged her nose. She knew she was a doctor, but the pungent odor of the old ginger was unbearable, even if the red sugar water tasted sweet.

Could she not drink it?

“He’s gone to do the laundry.”

“He went to do the laundry? You should drink this first, I’ll go call him back.” Yang Lin paused for a moment, then handed her one bowl of soup before setting the other bowl to the side in the kitchen, and hurried off to the river to find Liu Chushui.

“By the way…”

“Sangsang, it’s almost noon. How do you want to eat this chicken?”

As Lin Caisang turned around, she saw her cousin, Lin Changfeng, standing at the kitchen door, smiling at her.

“Any…”

“Big brother, why ask Sister Sangsang? As long as there’s food, she’ll be content. However we prepare it, she’ll eat.” Before she could answer, Lin Caihe, standing behind Lin Changfeng, mumbled with a pout, looking at Lin Caisang with a touch of discontent.

Why does everyone have to ask Lin Caisang about what to cook at home? She can’t cook anyhow, so how would she know the recipe?
