Chapter 653: Chapter 653: My Grandpa is Timid

"That’s the Clan Chief Ya’s problem to worry about," Ya Molian said.

He had too many things to deal with here, and he couldn’t afford to let anyone else covet his wife. Even if Ya Yulan herself had no such thoughts, he couldn’t let Clan Chief Ya run wild with his imagination.

If he didn’t stand up for himself, they might start to think he was a pushover and could be easily bullied.

"Here’s the list of betrothal gifts. Take a look first. If anything is missing, let me know and I’ll make sure to fill in the gaps." He took out a booklet from his pocket and handed it to Lin Caisang, he said.

Lin Caisang: "..."

This guy, always surprising her out of the blue like this; was he trying to scare her to death?

"You should discuss these matters with Grandpa. I don’t understand all this," she said.

Looking at the booklet he held, there were probably several pages inside. She had no idea what he’d written or planned, fearing he might end up frightening her Grandpa.

"But let me warn you, my Grandpa is timid. Don’t scare him," she advised after a thought.

"Of course not."

Ya Molian had already considered this.

After living so many years in Ya Village, how could he write too many items or overly expensive gifts on the list? This list could be reviewed not only by Sang’er’s immediate family but also by the respected elders of the Lin Clan. They would certainly comment on it.

There would be plenty of opportunities to show respect for the elderly in the future. He did not need to show it through this gift list.

Of course, in order to highlight the importance of Caisang, he would not skip any necessary preparation.

"I’m planning to catch a deer from the inner forest as part of the betrothal gifts. What do you think?" He asked.

"A deer?"

Lin Caisang looked at him intently.

"Or would you prefer a goose? That could also work," Ya Molian said.

"Either one is fine, you decide."

Lin Caisang nodded. She could only describe her understanding of these matters with three phrases: ’I don’t understand’, ’I don’t know’, ’I’m not clear’.

But if these deer and geese could be caught and kept in the pasture, then that would be a bonus. She would be absolutely delighted.

"Alright."

Ya Molian replied in agreement.

...

The discussions to finalize the betrothal between Ya Molian and Lin Caisang were in full swing while the double celebration at the clan chief’s house was a hot topic among the villagers.

On the other hand, in Liu Baixiao’s house...

The fact that Liu Rumei had bought a girl for Liu Yushui could no longer be concealed. They couldn’t possibly keep the girl outside, fearing that she might run away. But keeping her at home...

Liu Baixiao was always very strict with food. Liu Rumei was already doing her best to save as much food as possible for Liu Yushui. But now they had to feed the new servant girl too. How could they manage that?

Within a few days, the little girl was so starved that she was weak and listless.

"Mother, what should we do? Zhou Liang said he would come looking for me tomorrow," Liu Yushui said, looking at the little servant girl huddled in the corner of her room with a worried expression.

As a woman, she didn’t want to give her man to another woman. But weren’t these exceptional circumstances?

But looking at the little girl, her face was pale from hunger. How could she have the energy to serve Zhou Liang tomorrow? What if Zhou Liang accidentally killed her?

She was worried sick, not knowing what to do.
