Chapter 552: Chapter 552: Just for that vexing effect!

Originally by his intent, it would make more sense to directly buy the rice from the grain shop in town.

But his sister disagreed, saying if you buy from someone else it’s all the same, it would be better to let the people in the village earn more silver. He had no choice, so he had to go from house to house collecting it.

"Well, that’s good."

Lin Caisang nodded.

"Sangsang, our family’s rice field is ready for harvesting. Why do you still want to buy from outside? Moreover, you bought too much. Can we finish eating it all?", Lin Changhong was still puzzled about his sister’s instructions after he had gathered the rice. He asked.

"Sow it. Didn’t you forget that we previously harvested fifteen hundred catties of rice for sowing?" explained Lin Caisang.

She originally thought her brother would understand her thoughts, but it turned out he blindly obeyed her orders without understanding the reason for collecting the rice. This was totally foolish.

"Sow?"

Lin Changhong pursed his lips.

"Sangsang, are you joking with me? The dry season is coming as soon as the rain stops. What could we possibly plant during that time?"

Once the dry season arrives, even the grain will be taken away by the heavens, leaving nothing more to spare.

"Dear brother, I honestly don’t know what to say to you! Do you think you had someone dig a twenty-acre pond just for you to swim in?" Lin Caisang countered him.

With a ready supply of water for irrigation, how could her rice crops possibly dry out?

"Ah, right."

Stoked by her reminder, Lin Changhong suddenly realized it, and he slapped his forehead.

"Let’s not talk about this now. I have to go up to Manghuang Mountain and have a look. I haven’t been there for a few days." Lin Caisang glanced at the threshing machine, considering when she should go up to the mountain to inspect her rice and estimate when it could be harvested.

"By the way, where are Grandpa and Grandma? Why is no one here?"

"Sister Sangsang, Grandma took Grandpa to Brother Guman’s house. They invited Clan Chief Ya to set the marriage between Guman and Third Sister." Lin Changyi replied promptly.

"So soon?"

Lin Caisang was surprised.

"Isn’t it fast enough?"

Lin Changhong pondered and replied.

"Sangsang, you wouldn’t know, Guman’s mother has painted quite a picture of him in the village. I’ve never seen a mother like that. It seems like she would be happier if Guman was dead."

Being busy around the house these days, he had also heard some gossip.

Anyhow, Guman’s mother was complaining that their family business still wasn’t settled and constantly criticizing him, saying he’s worthless. In the past, he lived off her at home, but now he’s not even self-sufficient after leaving home. She was sure the Lin family despised him.

Guman was accused of being a lazy man, who had never contributed anything to his household even when he was seventeen.

He only could sneer when he heard these remarks.

Anyone with eyes could see who the real lazy one in the Ya family was. Whether it was Guman or Ya Cangman, the mother truly had the audacity to say such words.

"So, let me get this right, Guman didn’t invite his parents?" Lin Caisang asked.

"How could he invite them? You don’t know the commotion that’s been going on outside. If Guman were to invite them, wouldn’t he be deliberately vexing himself?" Lin Changhong said resentfully.

"What’s wrong with vexing? We need exactly the vexing effect!" Lin Caisang looked wickedly at her dear brother.

"Sister, what do you mean by that?"
