Chapter 55 - 55 55 Are You Spending Too Much
?Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Are You Spending Too Much? Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Are You Spending Too Much? “Baiyi, I think most people have left. Should we head home?” Ms.Lin of Yang Family suggested, looking at the thinning crowd on the street.
Those who had shopping to do were all done by now. The remaining folks, just wandering about, wouldn’t really buy anything. It would be better to pack up and head home.
“Good idea.”
…
“Sister Sangsang, you’re back. Did you buy any beaded flowers for me?”
It was nearly afternoon when they returned home. Ms.Lu of the Lin family had been waiting for them before starting dinner. Lin Caiqing rushed up to them as soon as they arrived, her eyes sparkling as she stared at Lin Caisang and asked.
“Um…”
Caught off guard, Lin Caisang blushed all of a sudden.
She had sold the medicinal herbs she brought and barely made enough to pay the blacksmith, Jin. Though there was some left, it had to be handed to Jin tomorrow. Therefore, she actually didn’t buy any beaded flowers.
“Well… Qing’er, Sister Sangsang spent all her money today. Next time, after selling the herbs, I’ll buy some beaded flowers for you. Is that okay?”
She asked Lin Caiqing in a negotiable tone.
“Oh, I see…”
The little girl puckered her lips, looking somewhat disappointed.
But before she could say anything, a familiar voice came from behind.
“Ah, Sister Sangsang, Qing’er has been waiting half a day. And you didn’t buy any beaded flowers for her? You must have earned quite a bit from selling the herbs, and Brother Changhong hasn’t handed over the money he made these days to Grandpa either. You spent it all? You really know how to spend, don’t you?”
Lin Caihe eyed Lin Caisang askance, speaking in an eerie tone.
All they had been eating lately was porridge, and she was practically on the brink of throwing up. But Brother Changhong had been selling his game in town every day.
“Did Brother Changhong secretly buy you a jade hairpin? He promised to get you one a few days ago. Show us!”
Lin Caisang: “…..”
Didn’t this girl see that everyone but grandpa was hanging around in the yard? Or did she want to deliberately make trouble by telling Grandpa that she spent money while not doing any work?
However, based on past experiences, even if she spent all the family’s money, Grandpa would never really scold her, would he?
“Shut up!”
After listening to his daughter, Lin Baiyi’s face turned livid. He scolded Caihe and then looked towards Ms. Lu of Lin Family.
“Mom, don’t listen to Caihe’s nonsense. I know where Sangsang and Changhong have spent the money. We’ll get the goods by tomorrow.”
“I know.”
Ms.Lu of Lin Family nodded, without any further comments.
The kids were well-meaning, wanting to make a movable chair for their old man. Lin Changhong had already told her about it and she consented. It would be excellent if their old man could get some outdoor air more often.
“I know Sangsang and Changhong always have Grandpa in mind. Girl Qing, once we sell the herbs next time, let Sangsang buy some beaded flowers for you, hm?”
“Alright, I’ll do as Grandpa says,” Lin Caiqing replied promptly.
“Sister Sangsang, actually, even if Second Sister kept quiet, I was going to speak. I’m not in a hurry to buy beaded flowers. I’m still young, and even if I had those, they would definitely be snatched away by someone.”
While speaking, she sneakily glanced at Lin Caihe, who had already turned red with anger.
“Lin Caiqing, you…!”
“Such a good girl.”
Lin Caisang pinched the little girl’s cheek.
“You must all be hungry. Let’s eat first. Your grandpa will bring out the vegetables, Three, carry your father out so we can all eat together,” Ms.Lu of Lin family glanced at Lin Caihe, and then turned to go to the kitchen.
