Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Nothing is Impossible
It wasn’t until Lin Caihe left to chop wood that Yang Lin went to wash his hands and help out in the kitchen.
“Mom, I heard that Sangsang and Molian from next door found a wounded young man on the road. He’s now lying at Molian’s house. Changhong went to see him.”
Yang Lin spoke to Lu Qiubo, who was tending the fire, while stir-frying vegetables.
“What?”
Lu Qiubo, who had heard the news, stuck her head out from under the stove and looked at Yang Lin in surprise.
“Sangsang brought back a young man?”
Yang Lin: “…”
By saying that, Grandma, aren’t you missing my main point? The key point is not the young man, but…
“Mom, why are you concerned about that young guy?”
“How can I ignore it? Sangsang, she…..” Upon hearing this, Lu Qiubo imdiately counter-argued.
The reputation of her granddaughter is at stake, how could she not care? If the villagers find out, who knows how they might twist the story?
“Mom!”
Yang Lin found her amusing and almost dropped her spatula in laughter.
“Never mind the injured young man for now. Why don’t you think about why Sangsang would bring an injured person back with Molian?” She reminded old lady Lu.
“This…”
Her question stumped Lu Qiubo, causing her to beco bewildered.
“Yeah, why was Sangsang with Molian?”
“Mom, let
ask you, hasn’t Molian been visiting our house frequently?” Yang Lin glanced at her grandmother and asked.
“Isn’t he helping out on Manghuang Mountain? I heard from Changhong that he and Molian discuss a lot of issues pertaining to the mountain. Furthermore, Sangsang’s father was always kind to Molian, you are well aware of this.”
Lu Qiubo explained further.
“He often brings hunted animals, didn’t he use to do that?” Yang Lin reminded her once more.
Previously, the most interaction the two households had was an occasional nod when they crossed paths. This whole business of bringing gifts of food and drink was a recent developnt. She was certain that there was more to this story.
“Moreover, Molian is our family’s closest neighbor. No matter how kind Sangsang’s father was to him, isn’t he going above and beyond? He practically treats Manghuang Mountain as his own ho.”
“That’s because Sangsang saved his life! Shouldn’t he return the favor? Plus, that boy has always been proper and respectable, he doesn’t….”
Lu Qiubo imdiately interjected, her previously cheerful expression turning strange as she spoke. In the end, her smile froze as if she had suddenly realized sothing. Squinting her old eyes, she looked sharply at Yang Lin.
However, she was still sowhat in disbelief.
“Are you suggesting…”
She slowly walked out from under the stove, shaking her head.
“Impossible, Molian is such an outstanding young man. Not only in Ya Village, even in all of Qianlin County, there are only a few who could match him. How could he….”
It wasn’t that she was disparaging her beloved granddaughter, but despite her affection and pride for Sangsang…
When it ca to the idea of Molian being interested in Sangsang, it seed like a flight of fancy. It was like oil and water, they just couldn’t mix. It was totally implausible.
“I don’t see why it’s impossible.”
Yang Lin was not convinced. As she energetically stirred the vegetables with her spatula, she said,
“Didn’t you see how protective Molian was of our Sangsang yesterday? He wouldn’t even let He’er say a word. If it were soone else, he’d probably not utter a word and just turn around and leave.”
