After Li Yingying finished speaking, the three of them continued to ask, "Why did those two maids just leave? What did you show them?"
Li Yingying took out a card from her sleeve with a smile. Li Qi and Li Dajun had seen this card before, so they were not that surprised.
It was just the first time that Mr. Li saw the excited Xian. He held the pipe in his mouth, rubbed his hands, and looked at it for a long time.
Father Li asked again, "Yingying, what exactly did you do for the young master? Why did he not touch you at all and yet give you so many benefits?"
Father Li was shocked by this series of events and was a little out of control, spitting all over the place when he spoke.
These days, Li Yingying has seen that Li's father, Li Qi and Li Dajun are truly kind to her. In this era where men are valued more than women, they are willing to risk their lives for her when she is in danger. Aren't they family?
She decided not to hide it anymore. She sat on the stone bench, motioned for Father Li and the others to sit down as well, and then told the story. "That day, I was seriously injured and on the verge of death, and my brother was also very sick.
"The young master will come tonight and take our family to the inner prison, where we will die. I thought the young master was afraid of the old master, and the old master has been worried about the landslide in Changfeng Town recently."
Li Yingying took a sip of water. The three of them looked serious and urged her to speak faster.
"I decided to try my luck and told Li Zongguan that I had a plan and asked him to take me to see the young master. After meeting the young master, I made up a few countermeasures and asked him to report to the master.
If the master says I am useful, he will give me the best room in the servants' house, and give our whole family a better job, and he will also allow me to go out for one hour every day."
Li Yingying took the card and said, "Then the young master gave me this card."
The three of them were still waiting. Seeing that Li Yingying was silent, Li Dajun asked anxiously, "Is that all?"
Li Yingying laughed out loud, "That's just how it is."
Mr. Li and the other two felt that what Li Yingying said was too simple, so they asked her to repeat it carefully from beginning to end.
Li Yingying couldn't get rid of it, so she had to ignore her own system and explain it again carefully.
Various expressions changed on the faces of the three people, and they were unable to come back to their senses for a long time after Li Yingying finished speaking.
Li Qi was the first to recover from his shock, and then asked Li Yingying fearfully, "Then Yingying, how can you be sure that what you said will work?"
Li Yingying smiled slightly and said casually, "I'm just giving it a try. After all, it's better than the inner prison."
Father Li's old face turned red with excitement. He glanced at the card and nodded repeatedly.
Li Dajun was still in a daze. It was only after Li Yingying poked him that he came back to life.
"Dad, Mom, and Brother, now that you know what's going on, let me tell you what I think." Seeing that the three of them were listening to her attentively, Li Yingying continued, "Our family used to live in poverty. We all know how hard it was. I don't want to live like that anymore. Now that we've moved into a bigger house, it's so much better. There's bound to be a lot of people jealous, especially after what happened this morning, so you all should be careful lately."
After a pause, Li Yingying said with a determined look, "Not only do I not want to live like this, I also want to shed my status as a mistress, so that our family can live a life where we don't have to worry about other people's opinions anymore."
Having done menial work all their lives, Li's father and Li Li have experienced a lot of hardships. They don't want their children to suffer like this. Although they are happy when they hear this, they feel that this is a shackle that cannot be broken.
Li Dajun opened his eyes with a brave look, as if good days for his family were just around the corner.
Li Yingying seemed to have guessed what they were thinking. She took out the more than ten taels of silver she had earned from selling spicy strips in the morning and cashed out another thirty taels from the mall and put them all on the table.
Father Li only knew that they were selling spicy strips, but had no idea they could make so much money.
Li Qi also took out the silver from his waist bag. The package was as big as a child's fist. It was wrapped layer upon layer, a total of seven or eight layers, before a small inner pocket was revealed.
The inner pocket was the purse for storing money. In the purse were more than ten taels of silver, which all poured out together with the fifty taels.
Except for Li Yingying and Li Qi, Li's father and son all stared and swallowed their saliva as they looked at the silver on the table.
Father Li: "This...this spicy strip is really good."
Li Dajun: "This, this, this... What are we going to do with so much money?"
Li Qi remained calm, looking at the useless man and glancing at his son who was drooling.
The three of them turned their heads and looked at Li Yingying.
Li Yingying picked up the cards on the table and looked at the three people. "Today, I'm going to go out and bring a few bags of spicy noodles with me. Let's try it out."
Then he looked at Li Dajun again, "Brother, come out with me."
Li Dajun smiled foolishly and nodded repeatedly. He had only been out of the house a few times in his life.
