Chapter 234 - 234 234 Lets see what excuses she can find
Chapter 234: Chapter 234: Let’s see what excuses she can find! Chapter 234: Chapter 234: Let’s see what excuses she can find! Lin Caihe even doubted her own ears. Who on earth has to pay one hundred and fifty coins for their own family contribution? That’s as good as having to pay five coins a day! Isn’t this just robbing her?
“The Xiao Ai family only has to pay three coins…”
“Does Xiao Ai’s family get to eat meat every day? Can they, like you, devour half of a chicken until there isn’t even a shred of meat left?” Lu Qiubo gave her a stern glance, questioning her.
“Um…”
Lin Caihe choked up immediately, lowered her head, and said nothing.
“Since none of you have any objections, it’s settled. Everyone has to pay the full amount. It’s unacceptable to short-change.” Seeing her fall silent, Lu Qiubo continues to scan his gaze over the others and spoke.
“Everyone has to pay?”
Lin Caihe was surprised again and lifted her head.
“Grandpa, I am still young. How can I…”
“You don’t eat meals? If you’re not going to eat at home in the future, then you don’t have to pay.” Lu Qiubo interrupted her.
“I…”
Lin Caihe had nothing to say. She could only turn to look at her father.
“Dad, you see…”
“Girl He, you’re the same age as Changhong and Sangsang. If they can contribute, so can you. And, stop asking your father to handle everything for you, find your own solution.” Yang Lin interrupted her, eyeing her dismissively.
“I…”
What solutions could she possibly come up with? Where was she supposed to get one hundred and fifty pennies to give to Grandpa?
“Mother, now that Girl He is older, she can make her own contribution. As for Girl Qing and Changyi…” Yang Lin looked at the two youngest family members, and seemed somewhat troubled.
“Mother, we can go to the mountain to dig for medicinal herbs with Third Sister. We will take care of our own contribution.” Before Yang Lin could finish his sentence, Lin Changyi rushed to speak.
He did not want to give his older sister another excuse to rely on their parents.
Just look, his youngest brother was earning money for Grandpa on his own. Let’s see what excuses she could come up with now!
“Third Aunt, these days Qing’er and Changyi have been working very hard for me, they’ve been a great help. I will cover their contribution for now.”
Lin Caisang reached out and patted Lin Changyi’s head, who was beside her.
She took out a piece of silver from her bosom and handed it to Lu Qiubo.
“Grandpa, this is one tael of silver, the contribution for my brother and me, along with Qing’er and Changyi. I’ll pay for now.”
“There’s no need for a whole tael of silver.”
Lu Qiubo accepted the silver and responded rather pensively.
“My father is the oldest son of the family, so for the first month of contributing, I’ll pay on his behalf, for both Grandpa and Grandma. The rest will cover the cost of some new clothes for Grandpa and Grandma.” Lin Caisang offered.
“Good, good.”
Lu Qiubo responded in agreement.
“Sangsang, well, then Grandpa accepts.”
“As for you, Dad, Mom, I will deliver the contribution to your house later. Changfeng…” Lin Baiyi hesitated whilst looking to his eldest son.
His son was a scholar and naturally needed his support. This was a factual matter.
“We’ve discussed it with your father regarding Changfeng’s contribution, and we believe that it should be your responsibility as parents to make…”
“No, that’s not acceptable.”
Before Lu Qiubo could finish, Lin Caiqing had already stood up from her stool.
“Why not?”
Everyone frowned, Lin Laogeng who had been silent all along finally asked.
Until now, Girl He was the only one in the family who caused trouble. Why was Girl Qing also stirring up trouble at this moment?
What was she scheming?
Upon hearing this, Lin Caiqing and Lin Changyi exchanged glances, both of them turned their eyes to Lin Caisang.
