Chapter 57 Liu Lili's Family Situation

Lin Jianyan softened his eyes. Of course, polite human cubs are likable.

Liu Lai Di took the candy and after peeling it, she did not choose to eat it herself immediately. Instead, she passed the candy to Liu Li Li's mouth and said, "Sister, you eat it."

Liu Lili shook her head and smiled dotingly, "Sister doesn't want to eat it, so you eat it."

Liu Lai Di: "Then I'll go give it to mom."

Liu Lili patted her hands and said, "Go ahead."

Seeing her trotting into the house, the adults' hearts softened.

Lin Jianyan looked at Liu Lili in confusion, and finally asked what she had been wanting to ask, "I went to the company today to look for you but couldn't find you. The new receptionist said you resigned. Why? Did something happen at home?"

Liu Lili nodded and said, "My mother is sick and my sister is still young and can't take care of her. The company certainly can't allow me to take such a long absence just for my personal reasons, so I resigned."

She smiled bitterly and said, "Looking at our names, I think Mr. Lin has guessed what kind of family we are."

Lin Jianyan nodded without saying anything, and listened quietly to Liu Lili's story:

"My parents didn't actually favor boys over girls. It was my grandmother who favored boys over girls. I have an older sister named Pan Di, who originally hoped that I would be a boy, but who would have thought that three children in a row would be girls."

"My grandmother is getting more and more dissatisfied with my mother. She was a little bit better when my father was around, but as soon as my father was not around, she would beat and scold my mother."

"When Lai Di was one year old, my father died in an accident at a construction site. The construction site had some compensation for the funeral, but my grandmother took all of it. After my father passed away, my grandmother tortured my mother and us even more severely."

When talking about the sad part, Liu Lili's eyes were filled with tears. "My mother worked three jobs a day to support us in school. If my sister hadn't been married off as soon as she reached marriageable age, she might have been sold by my grandmother."

"When I was 16, I had just finished high school and my mom collapsed, so I dropped out and started working."

"Luckily, that old man was killed a few years ago because he ran a red light, and the driver had to pay a sum of money. I found my father's compensation, and with the money, my family moved to another place and settled here."

When Lin Jianyan heard the latter part, she thought she was going to hear a great tragedy, but who knew the turn would come so quickly.

Liu Lili saw the flash of surprise on Lin Jianyan's face and burst out laughing: "Mr. Lin, do you also feel very happy? I think people should not do too many bad things, otherwise they will be punished by God sooner or later."

"It's a pity that my mother wasted so many years and it's hard for her to recover. I just hate why she didn't get killed earlier."

Ah Jun and Ah Liang were already in tears from being abused. Ah Jun said, "Since we have the conditions, why don't we change to a better accommodation environment?"

"You don't understand this, do you?" Liu Lili raised her eyebrows proudly. "Although the environment is so noisy and the house is relatively old, there is a vegetable market not far downstairs. The prices are cheap and it is convenient to buy vegetables, so the rent is not very cheap."

"This is the location I picked for a long time. The price-performance ratio is very high. I usually buy some chicken, duck, fish and meat at the market after get off work to nourish my mother and younger sister."

After hearing this, the two of them understood that it was indeed much more convenient than taking a detour to the mall, and they could save a lot of money over time.

Lin Jianyan felt helpless. Ajun and Aliang's families should not be poor. Plus, they worked for the Qin family, so their monthly salary must be quite high. Of course, they had never experienced the life of a poor family.

Lin Jianyan saw that he had understood almost everything, so he explained his purpose, "My main purpose for coming here today is to sign a contract with you."

"The factory will officially start operation soon. We have a batch of defective products with dyeing and stitching problems. After signing the contract, you can take these to try your hand. The factory will sell them at a low price. If you sell them, we can split the profits 70% to 30%. It depends on your ability whether you sell more or less."

Liu Lili said excitedly: "I am willing, of course I am willing, but..." The next moment her eyes dimmed, "My mother is sick now, I can't leave."

The next moment, the bedroom door was opened, and Liu's mother walked out weakly, supported by Liu Lai Di. "Go, Ali, you must go. You gave up such a good job for me. I can't delay you this time."

Liu Lili stood up in surprise and quickly went over to support her, "Mom, how did you get out?"

Mother Liu coughed a few times on the ground and held Liu Lili's hand tightly. "Ali, listen to me. This is such a good opportunity. You have delayed too much for me. You can't miss it again this time."

Liu Lili frowned and said worriedly: "But you are so weak and sick, and your sister is still so young. What will you do if I leave?"

Liu Lai Di said loudly: "Sister, I can cook. I can cook for mom."

Liu Lili looked at her tiny body. Because of malnutrition, she couldn't even reach the pot when she stood in front of the stove. She patted her head helplessly and said, "Stop messing around."

Liu Laidi pouted and snorted in dissatisfaction.

Mother Liu's eyes were full of determination. "Don't worry about us. I'll write a letter to ask your eldest sister to come over. You can go out and work without worry."

When Liu Lili heard her say this, she looked a little reluctant, "Can the elder sister come?"

Mother Liu said angrily, "She has to come even if she doesn't want to! I thought I treated you three equally and never treated your eldest sister unfairly. I didn't expect her to be such a fool. She cut off contact with us just because I urged her to get married!"

"That family is a good family that I have observed. If they were bad people, as a mother, I would not have the heart to watch my daughter walk into the den of wolves."

"She doesn't even think about it. If she doesn't get married, your grandma is not likely to let her go. She doesn't even come to visit during the holidays. If it weren't for you, I would have died a long time ago!"

"Lili, you have given so much to this family. I am not just your mother. I am not healthy anymore and I don't have many years left to live. It's time for your sister to take care of you."

She was a little emotional and couldn't help coughing softly. Liu Lili patted her on the back and said, "Mom, don't be excited. I will write a letter to my sister right away. Don't worry, I will explain everything to her."

After Liu's mother calmed down and stopped coughing, Liu Lili turned to Lin Jianyan and apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I made you laugh. Can you wait for a few days and sign the contract after my sister comes? Because I really can't guarantee whether my sister will come or not."

Mother Liu wanted to say that even if she didn't come, she couldn't delay you. But before she could say it, Liu Lili seemed to know what she wanted to say. She turned her head and glared at her, making her swallow her words.
