Chapter 680: Chapter 680: Even a mosquito is tiny, it still has meat

"Pfft!"

Upon hearing her words, Lin Caisang couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"Grandpa, grandma, look at our Qing’er, she’s so good with numbers now, don’t you think she’ll surely keep her future husband’s home in perfect order?" She looked at Lin Laogeng and Lu Qiubo, jesting.

"Indeed."

Lu Qiubo gently nodded with a smile.

"Grandma, how could you join Sister Sangsang in teasing me! I was only thinking of what’s best for Sister Sangsang." Lin Caiqing, who was made a laughing stock by the family, instantly blushed and pouted in retort.

"I know, dear. You’re thinking about the best for your Sister Sangsang, but..." Lu Qiubo’s face turned serious as she looked at Lin Caiqing.

"Qing, when we think, we shouldn’t just consider the surface, we need to delve deeper. Whether this money should be accepted, and how it should be used if accepted... there’s a rationale behind everything."

"What’s the rationale?"

Lin Caiqing didn’t understand and asked.

"Firstly, Sangsang is not in need of money right now, and this small amount doesn’t really matter." Lu Qiubo explained to Lin Caiqing.

"But even a mosquito, tiny as it may be, still has meat, right?" Lin Caiqing asked.

Lu Qiubo: "..."

She had never realized before that her little granddaughter was such a calculating little girl.

Guman of the Ya clan certainly struck it rich!

"Even if the money is little, it’s necessary to earn it. But we should also consider what kind of money it is." Lu Qiubo stated.

"Did Sister Sangsang make illicit money?"

Listening to Lu Qiubo’s words, Lin Caiqing became even more puzzled.

Since the villagers needed water, and Sister Sangsang had water on Manghuang Mountain, were they expected to give it to them for free? Of course that was impossible.

Accepting money was a totally normal thing to do. Why would Grandma consider this money unacceptable?

"This child, you are completely obsessed with money!" Lu Qiubo sighed helplessly.

"Qing’er, I wouldn’t have a problem accepting this money."

Lin Caisang picked up her grandmother’s line of thought, smiling at Lin Caiqing.

"But think about it. This money is what every household has managed to save, penny by penny, for water. They are willing to pay it now, but what happens after they’ve got the water and their crops are harvested?"

"What would happen then?"

Lin Caiqing still didn’t understand.

Didn’t they do a really good thing? They made it possible for villagers to have access to running water and not worry about gnawing on tree bark or digging up roots. They surely would be extremely grateful to Sister Sangsang. What else could happen?

"Qing child, Qing child, thinking about things in such a simple way, you’ll end up being bullied without even knowing why." Lin Laogeng looked at his granddaughter and said cheekily.

"Qing’er, not everyone in the village has been entirely kind to me, like Clan Chief Ya’s family. Or, after I get engaged to Brother Molian, Ya Tu’s family will inevitably hold a grudge."

Lin Caisang reminded her.

"Also, during the early spring this year, I nearly got pushed into a pot of boiling water by Brother Jinghong’s mother. Have you forgotten about all these?"

Of course, she didn’t mention that the most likely person to gossip and ruin her reputation in the village was Liu Baixiao’s family. Although Ya Clan Chief’s family held a grudge against her, they wouldn’t do anything major since others were watching.

However, Liu Baixiao’s family was a different story.
