Chapter 194 - 194 194 Wishful Thinking (2)_1

?Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Wishful Thinking (2)_1 Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Wishful Thinking (2)_1 Clearly, the person asking was aware of the Yan sisters’ situation.

“The family was pressuring us. Our aunt was feeling sorry for us, so she asked us to go home for the festival. We’ll return tomorrow.” Yan Liu answered, her eyes slightly reddish.

Yan Liu listened to everyone’s conversation with a frightened expression.

An older woman, seeing the sisters’ reaction, sympathized with them completely. The two girls seemed quite sensible, but unfortunately had parents like those in the Yan Family. She sighed, foreseeing a bleak future for such bright young ladies.

In the face of people’s sympathetic gaze, the Yan sisters simply lowered their heads in silence, even when edged to the outskirts of the crowd, they didn’t utter a word. Weak women always gain other’s sympathy; soon, the crowd’s attitude towards them became much friendlier.

Lin Changshu and Wu Dayou were crowded to the front, they had no choice but to sit scattered on either side of the driver, Kong Yier.

Unlike the chatter behind, the men were much quieter. Soon, the cart finally arrived at the marketplace.

“Thank you, brothers.” After thanking Lin Changshu and Wu Dayou, the Yan sisters followed the crowd into the market.

Neither Lin Changshu nor Wu Dayou paid them any mind, rushing to deliver the goods to the Vegetarian Feast.

“Finally delivered.” The monk at the Vegetarian Feast, seeing the goods arrive, immediately came over to unload the tofu, bean paste, and other items from the cart.

“Later, please, master, find a cart to go back to our village and bring some pastries. My sister said that this is her small token of gratitude for the masters at the temple for the Mid-Autumn Festival.” Lin Changshu helped unload the goods, then conveyed this to Master Hui Lian and Master Hui Zhen.

“Amitabha.” Master Hui Lian was surprised with joy, “Benefactor Lin is thoughtful. I, on behalf of the monks at the temple, express our gratitude to Benefactor Lin.”

“My sister said that the masters at the temple have taken great care of the Lin family. Sending some pastries is just her small token of gratitude.” Lin Changshu respectfully replied, not daring to accept the gratitude expressed by the librarian of Ding’an Temple.

“On the day of full moon, you should all return home early.” Master Hui Zhen wasn’t as fussy. He impatiently watched Master Hui Lian’s verbose chatter, rolled his eyes indelicately, and directly interrupted what Hui Lian was about to say.

“We will return now, please, masters, send someone over early.” Lin Changshu said.

“I will lead some men and follow you,” Master Hui Zhen stood up and declared. “You go first, I will follow soon with the others.”

Seeing his hurried behavior, Master Hui Lian knew that Master Hui Zhen had no regard for trivial formalities. If he angered Hui Zhen, he would definitely suffer from his manipulations afterwards.

To avoid any trouble, he simply let Lin Changshu and his group leave.

As Lin Changshu left the temple and followed the road back to the village, he came across many of his fellow villagers along the way. Therefore, he kindly cleared his cart and offered his fellow villagers a lift.

“Changshu, will your family’s land be available for rent?” originally, no one in the village thought highly of the Heihe land that the Lin Family was reclaiming. Everyone agreed that the land was inauspicious. However, after seeing the reclaimed land, many people changed their minds. That black soil seemed to be even more fertile. Moreover, the Lin family had a lot of land to cultivate, and they surely couldn’t handle it all. So many people started to show interest.

But since the Lins were busy with their own operations, despite many interested parties, there were no opportunities to inquire about it.

Today, upon meeting Lin Changshu, it seemed to be a great opportunity.

“Heihe is my younger sister’s property, I’m not clear about the specifics,” Lin Changshu answered apologetically with a smile.
