The Herbal Scents of Farm Life
Chapter 256 - 256 256 Not Returning at Night

Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Not Returning at Night Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Not Returning at Night After a while, Lin Changhong went to deliver the food, and Lu Qiubo returned to the main hall to eat.

She brought two bowls, picked out a few dishes and placed them separately into the two bowls. She then placed them on top of two cornbread cakes and set them aside.

“I don’t know when Sangsang will be back, the food will probably get cold.” She grumbled while eating.

“It’s alright, we can warm it up later.” Lin Laogeng remarked.

“Hmm.” Lu Qiubo could only nod in agreement.

Her granddaughter, always busy, hardly seen throughout the day. If it wasn’t for her coming back to sleep at night, she would have thought Sangsang had gone missing again.

“Mom, shouldn’t we intervene with what Second Brother is doing?” Lin Baiyi asked Lu Qiubo, his eyebrows knitted in concern.

Upon hearing his words, although Lu Qiubo was also worried about her grandson Liu Chushui and wanted to intervene, she knew all too well that if she interfered now, the family of Liu Baixiao would inevitably come knocking on their door again.

“Let it be, let Changhong deliver the meals for a few days. We just need to make sure no one gets ill from hunger.”

It’s not that she didn’t want to intervene, but she couldn’t. Having given birth to a son like Liu Baixiao was a lifelong worry for her.

Fortunately, Sangsang and Changhong, the two kids, understood and empathized with their predicament. Otherwise, she would truly not know what to do.

“They are our children after all, we can’t really starve them to death, right? It should all be fine after a couple of days.”

“Will it really?”

Lin Baiyi voiced his doubts.

“Considering Second Brother’s temperament, I’m afraid…”

He felt that unless Liu Baixiao managed to swindle the house deeds from them and released Liu Chushui in a moment of joy, this issue was not going to be simple and easily resolved.

“Should I go over there and talk to him?”

“What for? That son of mine will only become more arrogant if you go. If anyone should go, it must be me.” Lu Qiubo retorted, glaring at her son.

“Wife, you should visit him tomorrow.”

Hearing her words, Lin Laogeng finally suggested this.

“Even though we can afford to feed Chushui, sending food every day still isn’t a long term solution. You should visit him tomorrow morning, and if it doesn’t work out, we should let the tribal chief intervene. If this continues, it’s not like our grains just fall from the sky.”

“That’s right, Grandma, my Grandpa is right. Cousin Changhong shouldn’t be delivering food to Liu Chushui, it only fuels Second Uncle’s arrogance.” Lin Caihe, momentarily forgetting about the food, rallied upon hearing Lin Laogeng’s words.

“And Grandma, you should also talk to Sister Sangsang. Look at how late it is, yet she’s still at Brother Molian’s house. It’s bad for a girl’s reputation to stay out till late at night, who knows what…”

“Shut up!”

Her words were cut mid-sentence by Lin Baiyi’s angry shout.

Before Lin Caihe could respond, the cornbread in her hand was snatched away and put back into the basket. When she finally looked at her father, his face was beet-red, glaring at her angrily.

Immediately she shrunk her neck, intimidated.

“You and your damn mouth, Lin Caihe, if you ever speak nonsense again, I’ll have your mother stitch your mouth shut forever! How is it appropriate for a girl to mention about staying out all night? I think it’s time someone taught you a lesson!”

“I…”

Lin Caihe immediately felt unjustified. She was only following Grandpa’s words and added a few of her own. How did it become her fault again?
