The Herbal Scents of Farm Life
Chapter 515 - 515 515 Not Happy Again

Chapter 515: Chapter 515: Not Happy Again? Chapter 515: Chapter 515: Not Happy Again? Lin Caiqing pouted, knowing she was too eager. She seemed like a kid who had done something wrong and hung her head, silent.

“Girl Qing, it’s not that Grandpa wants to criticize you, but…”

Seeing her like this, Lin Laogeng didn’t have the heart to scold her any further, and simply sighed.

“You know you’re a young lady. Running eagerly toward Ya Guman’s house like this, others might think our Lin Family girls can’t get married and have to set sights on men. From now on, you’re not allowed to run to Guman’s house for no reason. It’s unseemly!”

“Oh, I understand.”

Lin Caiqing responded, not daring to say anything more.

She realized this could affect her reputation as well as the reputation of her siblings. She knew what really mattered.

“Grandpa, I know I was wrong. Don’t worry, I’ll be more careful in the future.”

“Hmm, knowing you’re wrong is good. You must be more careful in the future.”

Lin Laogeng nodded and didn’t say anything more. He prepared to go back to his room.

“Grandpa.”

Suddenly, Lin Chushui spoke up, stopping him.

“What is it, Chushui?”

Lin Laogeng turned his wheelchair back around to look at Lin Chushui.

“Grandpa, today I told Sister Sangsang I wanted to go to school and learn to read. Sister Sangsang agreed,” Lin Chushui said to Lin Laogeng.

About his desire to learn to read, he had only just told Lin Caisang; he hadn’t mentioned it to anyone else in the family. He felt it wrong to hide it; everyone in the family should know.

“You can’t read?”

Lin Laogeng responded just like Lin Caisang, his face full of surprise.

He remembered that when Liu Rumei first came to their house, she would always brag about how well Liu Qingshui was doing in the school. Since Chushui was his son, he assumed Lin Chushui could read, too. He was taken aback to find out Lin Chushui was illiterate.

“My parents never let me learn to read,” Lin Chushui explained.

After hearing this, Lin Laogeng took a deep breath and verbally abused his undutiful son again under his breath.

“You should learn. This is how it is; you go to learn, and let girl Qing go and learn too. In our family, regardless of whether they are boys or girls, they have to learn to read. As for Sangsang… she doesn’t need to. Her dad already taught her before,” he pondered and said.

Having the ability to send kids to school is a good thing. He is not like other families that start fretting at the sight of a girl, not even hesitating to literally squeeze the last drop out of her, let alone teaching her to read.

“Grandpa, I also want to learn to read. I’ve been to school before,” Lin Caiqing frowned.

It’s not that she doesn’t like reading; she knows it’s necessary. But if she goes to school, she can’t help with the house chores and Sangsang is so busy. She seriously wished she could split herself in two, one to attend school and one to stay home to help Sangsang.

“What, you’re not willing now?” Lin Laogeng looked at her and asked.

Don’t think because you’re a girl, reading is unimportant. Knowing how to read will surely come in handy in the future,” he scolded.

“I know, I know, I’ll go, okay?” Lin Caiqing hurriedly nodded her head.

Her Grandpa could really talk. She didn’t have any other choice but to agree.

…

The sooner the better. Taking advantage of a rainy day, Lin Baiyi left his work and headed straight to Ya Guman’s house.

Ya Guman had moved out of his house for quite some time. With no roof and uneven ground, the house that was originally in a mess was tidied up by Ya Guman into a new look and actually looked like home.
