Chapter 57 Liu's Purpose
Li Yaojia lowered her head, unable to hold back her tears any longer, and they rolled down her cheeks.
Deep down she didn't want to go.
She is not a fool. She would not give up her job as the eldest daughter of the Li family and go out to please others!
However, if she wanted to make a name for herself and earn a lot of money for her mother so that she could stand up straight at home and stop racking her brains to make money every day, she couldn't give up any opportunity.
She could only feel sorry for what her grandmother had taught her.
Wiping the tears from her face, Li Yaojia walked up to Old Madam Li and took her grandmother's hand. This was the first time she had been so close to her grandmother since leaving the upper room. She smiled and said, "Grandma, please don't blame my mother. It was Yaojia who wanted to go. I want to go out and see the world and make some new friends!"
Madam Li looked at her with scrutiny in her eyes, "Are you going there on your own?"
Li Yaojia nodded, "Yeah!"
She clearly saw a flash of disappointment in her grandmother's eyes. She lowered her head and bit her lower lip tightly to prevent the tears from flowing out.
Madam Li released her, sat there, closed her eyes, and instructed Qingxing in a calm tone, "Go to the storehouse and pick out some jewelry for Yaojia! After all, she is the eldest daughter of the Li family. She must not bring disgrace to the Li family when she goes out!"
She did not mention the jewelry and head ornaments she had given to Yaojia in the past because she had already guessed where they went.
When Liu heard this, she was overjoyed. She thought the old lady would not give it to her. Unexpectedly, Yaojia's words were more effective than hers. It seems that she should let Yaojia fight for it more in the future!
She stepped forward and stopped Qingxing. "No, no, don't bother Qingxing. I'll do it! I'm familiar with the things in the warehouse. I've been there often before!"
"You also said that you used to go there often, but now the warehouse is empty. The things inside were given to her by her father. As her aunt, what qualifications do you have to go to the warehouse to pick things?" Old Lady Li sneered.
"Mom, aren't you too cruel? Not to mention that Bai Yaoyao eats and drinks at our house, she is your granddaughter, her mother is your biological daughter, and her father is your son-in-law. Isn't it his duty to give you some things as a filial piety? Besides, this is our Li family. The things are in the Li family's warehouse, so they belong to our Li family. Naturally, our second branch should have a share!" Liu was not happy when she heard this and said dissatisfiedly.
"I'm not even dead yet, and you're already thinking about dividing the family property?" Old Madam Li flew into a rage upon hearing this. "Let's not even talk about whether that thing is filial piety to me or not. Even if it is, it's mine. What does it have to do with you? If your own daughter wants something, let your husband earn it for her!"
"Mom, you are being unfair! My daughter has to ask Yunshan to earn what she wants! My eldest brother never comes home all year round, and even needs money sent to him every year. Why don't you tell him to earn it himself?" Liu argued with her neck tilted.
Madam Li slammed her hand on the table. "Why don't you mention your eldest brother's heroic sacrifice on the battlefield, risking his life to protect the border? Without those men who risked their lives to defend the border, would you be standing here licking my ass and asking for things?"
When Madam Li got angry, Liu became timid. She shrank her head and muttered softly, "What does their guarding the border have to do with us Yaojia? It wasn't our Yaojia who asked our eldest brother to go!"
Old Madam Li was almost pissed off by her.
Bai Yaoyao suddenly jumped off the chair and walked over to Old Madam Li. "Don't be angry, Grandma. Okay, I'll take Cousin Yaojia to pick something out! I remember my dad sent over a piece of heavenly silk brocade last time. I'll get it and make some clothes for Cousin Yaojia. It's sure to look great!"
