Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Even a Mosquito is Made of Flesh
She shook her head, then cramd the shattered silver and copper coins into a worn-out small bag on the table. She put it away in her bosom then followed them outside. In the courtyard, Lin Changfeng had already opened the door to leave.
“Brother Enxi, anything up?” Lin Changfeng asked him.
“Yes, and it’s good news. Brother Molian managed to hunt down a sizable wild boar in the mountains. He’s not planning to sell it in town. Instead, he wants to share it with our neighbors. Everyone will get a taste of at.”
As Ya Enxi spoke, saliva almost flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Normally, any ga he hunted with Ya Molian, regardless of size, had to be exchanged for silver at the tavern in town. He could not even expect to take a single bite for himself.
That’s why the prospect of eating at right now was filling him with excitent.
“But Brother Molian is alone, so he’s hoping for so help from you.”
“Great, I’ll go right away.”
Upon hearing about the at, Lin Changhong imdiately responded, brimming with enthusiasm.
However, Lin Changfeng glanced sidelong at Lin Caisang. Their eyes t, both finding the situation rather peculiar.
In Lin Caisang’s mory, no matter how large or small, lean or fat the ga that Ya Molian brought back from hunting was, he never gave it away generously. Not to ntion that Ya Molian led a solitary life and seldom talked to his neighbours.
What was happening today? Was the sun rising from the west?
And really, was Ya Molian out of his mind? The poison in his body had been subdued by her just a few days ago, and hunting small prey like rabbits or poultry wouldn’t be an issue — but risking his life to tangle with a wild boar?
Was he trying to get himself killed?
“Big brother, we don’t have any money.”
Seeing her elder brother eagerly heading towards the neighbor, Lin Caisang quickly stopped him.
Scrounging and taking advantage of others, that was not what the Lin family did. Regardless of whether Ya Molian was giving the boar at to the villages for free, she understood a basic principle: if you want sothing from soone else, you have to provide sothing of equivalent value in return.
There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world!
“That’s okay, Brother Molian and us, we’re close,” Lin Changhong carelessly said while walking away with Ya Enxi.
Lin Caisang: “…”
Big brother, why don’t you go live with Ya Molian; you two sound awfully close?
Isn’t he just a neighbor? We’re still two different families, right?
“Sangsang, I earned a little silver from transcribing, We’ll use it to exchange for at later. It’s been a while since the family had a proper al.” Lin Changfeng said with a smile as he watched her staring at Lin Changhong’s back.
On hearing this, Lin Caisang sneered.
What does he an by “it’s been a while since we’ve had a proper al?” Didn’t we just have wild chicken a few days ago, and haven’t we been having eggs for these past few days? Are we that greedy for at?
However, her main focus was not on that, but on what Lin Changfeng just ntioned.
“Brother Changfeng, you have silver?”
Oh, silver! She needed to go to the blacksmith shop to make so tools, and was short on silver
“Yes, but there’s not much. Do you need it, Sangsang?” Lin Changfeng asked.
“Yeah, I really need it.”
Lin Caisang nodded imdiately. Even if it was a small mosquito, it was still made up of at.
“Well, I’ll go and get it for you…”
“Sister Sangsang, my brother doesn’t earn money easily. Brother Changhong can hunt, right? Why don’t you let him hunt for money for you instead of eyeing my brother’s silver?”
Before Lin Changfeng could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by his younger sister Lin Caihe who was helping their brother Lin Baiyi.
Her big brother had to study every day and transcribe under a kerosene lamp at night. That was not easy. So, it wasn’t fair of Sangsang to try to claim part of the money he earned. Even she hadn’t asked her big brother for money to spend.
