Chapter 601: Chapter 601: Who Dares to Bully Me? Chapter 601: Chapter 601: Who Dares to Bully Me? “I suppose we really do need to think of a solution.” The idea of a mere eleven-year-old child being sent off to die on a battlefield, all for a bit of silver, truly made the darkness of the official circles unimaginable.

…

After the two had eaten, Lin Changhong and others came down from Manghuang Mountain. Lin Chushui also had just returned from school. He had seized a free moment in between his work on the mountain to learn from an old scholar and had picked up several new characters.

Ya Molian had already gone home, so Lin Caisang took Lin Chushui away in front of everyone.

“Grandma, what are Sangsang and Chushui up to?” Seeing his little sister taking Lin Chushui away, Lin Changhong couldn’t help but feel distanced from his sister.

“Mind your own business and stop worrying about Sangsang.” Lu Qiubo glared at him.

“Grandma…”

Lin Changhong looked at Lu Qiubo, his grandmother didn’t seem right. Could someone have upset her?

“Grandma, are you okay? Has anyone bullied you?” He asked.

“Who could possibly bully me?” Lu Qiubo snapped.

If Liu Rumei dared to come forward, she, as the mother-in-law, wouldn’t let herself be wronged. If she dared to come tomorrow, let her see how she would deal with her!

“What’s with all the prattling? Go wash up and have dinner.”

“Okay.”

Seeing Lu Qiubo’s ill temper, Lin Changhong nodded in agreement, not daring to say more.

“Isn’t Sangsang eating?”

“Sangsang already ate. By the time you all came back, the citron daylilies had gotten cold. How can you, as an older brother, not care about your little sister?” Lu Qiubo looked at him and said.

Lin Changhong: “…”

Doesn’t he care about his sister?

What was his grandma getting at? He cherished Sangsang, treating her like a precious gem.

“I’m going to go wash my hands.”

“Mom, has someone been to our house?”

Lin Baiyi picked up a wooden stake that had been discarded at the edge of the yard and asked Lu Qiubo.

He had dug this wooden stake from the mountains with the intention of making a small ornament out of it. It was originally not placed in that corner.

His mother wouldn’t play with a wooden stake for no reason, there was enough physical exercise in cutting rice in Manghuang Mountain. Surely, someone had to have moved this wooden stake.

“Who do you think?!”

“Who could it be?”

Lu Qiubo irritably retorted her son.

Seeing the wooden stake, they should all have understood who had come to their house with the intent to quarrel and even dared to use the wooden stake to hit people. Only one family could do that.

“Did Second Brother’s family come over?” Lin Baiyi wasn’t stupid and immediately understood.

“What’s she playing at now? All she does is stir things up. Does she even have the life left to do so?”

“Her daughter has done something again and had a miscarriage scare, she’s bedridden now.”

“Really? Did they come to borrow money?” Lin Baiyi asked immediately.

Since Liu Baixiao had been in the village for some time, he naturally knew about Liu Baixiao’s stinginess towards Liu Rumei and Liu Yushui. He wouldn’t spend a single copper coin on them.

“Borrowing money would be fine.”

Bringing up Liu Rumei made Lu Qiubo angry all over again.

“That woman really is heartless. She even tried to blame her daughter’s miscarriage scare on our Sangsang, saying it was inflicted by a curse from Sangsang.”

Just thinking about this made her furious. Most of all, when she thought about her husband still having hopes for his son Liu Baixiao, her anger grew. She turned her head and glared fiercely at Lin Laogeng, who was being attended to by Lin Caiqing as he washed his hands.
