Ganli believes that anyone with a sound mind, whether driven by emotion or self-interest, will know what the right choice is.
Of course, if the Gan family members are mentally unstable... then pretend I didn't say anything.
Then she can just leave. She has money, brains, and a personal supermarket. She could live to be a hundred years old even if she went to the mountains to live like a wild woman.
The Gan family is different. When the original owner was still Gan Li, they didn't treat them well. Now that she's Zhao Juan, they're only now coming to acknowledge their relatives, so it's highly likely that they're putting the Zhao family first.
The only difference is that before, he only served the original owner as a slave, but from now on, he will have to serve the entire Zhao family as a slave.
Once Ganli understood this, she was no longer flustered and even tried to persuade Zhao:
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. I believe that my parents won't be fooled by Zhao Juan's few words. You should go back first. The restaurant is reopening, and I also have some things to take care of right now."
Hearing that her sister-in-law was still struggling to find a restaurant, Zhao felt even more heartbroken, and even thought that her parents-in-law's trip to consult a fortune teller was unnecessary!
Wouldn't this upset my sister-in-law?
Besides, since Zhao Juan dared to say such things, what if she had bribed the sorceress beforehand?
Thinking about this, Zhao became even more worried, but dared not tell Gan Li.
She took her leave as Ganli suggested, but she made up her mind that she would definitely talk to her husband about this when she got back!
That way, if his parents-in-law ever lose their minds, he can remind them in front of them.
Thinking of this, Zhao hurriedly walked home.
Gan Li watched Zhao's retreating figure, stood silently for a while, then locked the door and went to Gan Tao's house.
Gan Tao was climbing the ladder to the roof. Looking at the broken tiles and the large hole in the roof, she couldn't help but get angry at her younger brothers who were still laughing and joking below.
"What are you all doing, throwing stones? Is that fun? Now it's hit the roof, what if it hit someone? Even if it hit the roof, we'll have to spend money to buy tiles to repair it!"
I don't think we need to fix it. Let it stay like this, let you get soaked in the rain a few times, then you'll learn your lesson!
The younger brothers below, though silent, all looked somewhat dismissive.
One of them reached out and pinched the youngest brother, and a loud wail immediately filled the yard.
Along with the crying came a burst of cursing.
“They are living things, not inanimate objects. Are you going to keep them locked up in the house and not let them touch anything? It’s just that two tiles were broken. You can just buy some and replace them. Why are you scolding them like this?”
Gan Tao was already a little angry because of her younger brothers' naughtiness, and now, hearing her mother scold her without even knowing what had happened, she became even more upset and couldn't help but defend herself:
“Now I can’t continue my embroidery work, and all the money we have left is a little. I still need to buy you medicine, so where can I find any extra money…”
"Oh, so you're saying I'm a burden to you?"
Gan Taoniang pushed the wheelchair out the door, looked up at her daughter, and pointed at the sky and cursed:
“Back when your father and I were around your age, we had nothing, but we still raised six of you.”
I scrimped and saved for you all, and now look what's happened! My daughter's grown up, and she thinks I'm a burden! God, open your eyes and look at what a heartless wretch I've raised!
As she cried, she brought up the previous incident again:
"I know you blame me for ruining your wedding and you resent me! But later, I swallowed my pride and went to beg him, but he didn't want you! Is that my fault too?"
These words struck a chord with me!
Gan Tao didn't expect her mother to feel sorry for her, but she never expected that in her mother's eyes, it was only natural for her to support the family and her younger brother!
What chilled her to the bone was that her mother not only felt no remorse for her marriage, but also thought that she deserved it all.
Feeling wronged and angry, all sorts of emotions surged up at once, making Gan Tao dizzy and her body swaying precariously as she stood on the ladder.
Just then, a cool sound came from behind.
"Oh, I've come at an inopportune time, just in time for you and your daughter to argue?"
Everyone was startled and turned around to see Gan Li slowly walking in.
Gan Li pointed to the gate behind her: "The gate wasn't closed. I saw you were all in the yard, so I came in. You don't mind, do you?"
Gan Tao Niang snapped out of her daze, her eyes immediately falling on Gan Li's hands. Seeing that Gan Li's right hand was empty and her left hand only held a stack of papers, her lips involuntarily curled downwards, and she became less polite in her speech:
"Every family has its arguments when living together. It's none of your business."
"mother!"
Gan Tao had recovered, but she looked embarrassed when she heard her mother speak so rudely.
After all, Ganli had helped their family before; the rice she sent last time was still being eaten up yesterday.
However, she knew that talking to her mother about this was pointless. To avoid an even more embarrassing situation, she could only stop talking, turn to Gan Li, and apologize:
"Aunt, my mother has become more confused since she fell ill, and she says some incoherent things. Please don't take it to heart."
Gan Li showed no embarrassment whatsoever; instead, she chuckled and shook her head, saying:
"It's truly absurd. This is the first time I've ever heard such ridiculous nonsense. She had the child of her own free will, and since she did, isn't it her duty to raise the child?"
Well, now that she can't afford to raise them herself, someone else is raising them for her, and she acts like it's only natural. Her skin is thicker than a city wall.
Mothers are great, but those who feel indebted to their children after giving birth are an exception!
Gan Tao Niang was furious that Gan Li would say such a thing.
Gan Tao, on the other side, was touched by Gan Li's words and her eyes welled up with tears of grievance.
But she also understood her mother's temper, and to avoid saying anything more offensive to Ganli, she quickly pulled Ganli out the door:
"Auntie, the house is a mess, so I won't invite you to sit down. You...you wanted to see me about something?"
Hearing the faint shouts and curses coming from behind her, and seeing the girl's flustered appearance in front of her, Gan Li pretended not to hear the commotion and nodded in agreement.
"I heard you're good at embroidery, so I'd like to ask you to embroider some things. I'll cover all the fabric and needlework, and the payment will be based on the prices you usually charge for your previous jobs."
Upon hearing this, Gan Tao's reddened eyes lit up, and she nodded excitedly.
...
After returning from Gan Tao's house, Gan Li's mood worsened, and Gan Tao's ordeal lingered in her mind.
Sympathy, anger, and helplessness intertwined, making her feel extremely depressed.
When she learned that she was bound to the 'Saint Mother System', she naively thought that she was the woman chosen to save the world.
But reality told her that she was not a savior, and she could not save anyone.
She felt suffocated and spent two days in a depressed mood. Just then, the elderly couple from the Gan family, along with Gan Mingyi, returned.
