Yi Yami watched Gu Beijian's carriage leave and then entered the yard.
He took out fifteen hundred taels and placed them on the table in the main hall. "Dad, grandma, what do you want to do with this money?" Yiyami looked at them, waiting for their next words.
"Your father and I have discussed this. Xiaomi, this money is earned by you. Don't ask us how to use it. Keep it for yourself. When you get married or start a bigger business, you will need money in many places." Old Lady Yi said lovingly, "Girls should have money. When you have money, you will be more confident and speak with confidence. You won't be inferior to others."
Yi Yami smiled from the bottom of her heart. She was not wrong about the Yi family. Everyone was good and loved Yi Yami sincerely. Suddenly she thought that she was the modern Yi Yami, not the real Yi Yami. Thinking of this, she felt a little guilty. She had taken someone else's identity and pretended to be someone else's love. Thinking of this, she divided the money and said, "Grandma, these two hundred taels are for you. Keep it. I don't care what you want to use it for, and don't refuse me. Just think of it as a tribute from your good granddaughter Yi Yami." Yi Yami handed the two hundred taels to old lady Yi, and mentioned the name when she said it. She knew in her heart that this was money for Yi Yami, the little girl Yin Weiguo had originally had.
"You..." Old Mrs. Yi wanted to say something to refuse, but seeing Yi Yami's determined look, she swallowed the words of refusal.
"Dad, Mom, this is a gift to you. One hundred taels each for you two, and one hundred taels for your younger brother. It's three hundred taels in total. Keep it for yourselves. I still say the same thing, don't refuse me. We have made money, and we will make a lot of money in the future. Xiaomi will make everyone in our family live a good life. I will not let you down for being so good to Xiaomi!" Yi Yami took out three hundred taels and put them in Yi Laoer's hands.
"You girl, you said that family members should care about each other..." As he was about to stuff it back, Yi Yami stopped him. "Yes, care about each other, then you can accept it. My brother is young, so I won't let him hold it alone, for fear that he will lose it. You have money on you, just like grandma said, you will be able to stand up straight, and you don't have to be humble to those rich people. We can also speak with our heads held high. In the future, when my brother gets married, I will give him a betrothal gift, buy nice things for his wife, and when his wife has children, there will be many places to spend money. Oh, keep it for now, there will be a steady flow of money in the future, and I said that I will make everyone in our family live a good life."
After Yi Yami finished speaking, the Yi family members present were moved to tears.
Upon seeing this, Yi Xiaomai pulled Yiyami's sleeve and said, "Sister, when I grow up, I will build you a big house for you to live in. No matter you get married or not, you are always my sister. When you get married, I will send you off. If that brother-in-law dares to treat you badly, I will break his bones and use them as a hammer for you! Sister, if you don't like anyone and don't want to marry anyone, then I will support you and my children will see you to the end of your life." Yi Xiaomai became more and more excited as she spoke, and tears fell.
"Oh, little crybaby, why are you so fond of crying? Hahahahahahahahaha, why do you think so far ahead? I'm only thirteen years old, and I'm still far from getting married. Let's leave the future to the future. I know your feelings, and I believe you. The most reliable person is my brother! Okay, okay, don't cry. You're a real man, you can't cry so easily." Yiyami wiped away his tears.
The Yi family looked at each other and laughed.
"Dad and Mom, I plan to use the remaining one thousand taels to buy a shop in town. Then, if I have some extra money, I'll buy a yard so that it will be convenient for us to live there. We won't have to run back and forth every day, which is troublesome. Xiaomai is old enough to go to school, and it's not a long-term solution to let him sell braised food. Boys should study hard and think about what they want to do and realize their own value." Yiyami continued after everyone's mood improved.
"Well, I support buying a shop. Let's talk about buying a yard later. It's nice to live in this village." Old Mrs. Yi said.
"Grandma, if Xiaomai goes to study, instead of going back and forth every day, it would be better to buy a yard in town so that he can study well. And if it rains or snows, the weather is bad, and we don't have to walk on the road, we can stay there. Grandma, there is no such thing as too many houses. Xiaomai will move farther and farther in the future. This is just the beginning. We just brought Xiaomai to town. If he studies well and goes to Kyoto, it is possible to buy a house in Kyoto. People always want to move to higher places, grandma." Yiyami explained.
"Oh, I know, I just can't bear to spend the money. What you said makes sense. You can do whatever you want." After listening, Mrs. Yi sighed.
"Sister, I won't go to school. I want to sell braised food with you. I like selling braised food and I am good at attracting business." Yi Xiaomai raised an objection.
"No, you have to go and learn to read. I don't care what you want to do in the future, even if you join me in selling braised food, but I hope you can read, see the world, and get to know this world. If you can't read, you're no different from a blind man. If you can read, you'll know a lot of things. You don't need to use other people's eyes to see the world, you can see it directly. How great is that? Besides, if you can read, you'll have different ways of selling braised food even if you sell it." Yiyami refused without thinking.
"I won't go. I don't want to stand on my sister's back to study. I can help at home. If I go, the house will be even busier. Besides, why doesn't my sister go to study? Why doesn't my sister go out to see the world?" Yi Xiaomai said angrily.
"This is an adult matter, don't worry about it. I, your sister, have seen the world. During the time when I was rescued by our ancestors, I saw another world. Besides, I like doing business. I like customers to eat what I cook. I have found what I like to do, but you are different. Your family is just doing this business, and you passively like it. You don't like it from the bottom of your heart. Besides, the world is so big, don't you want to see it? Hey, you little brat are still worried about your sister. When your sister makes more money in the future, I will definitely not do everything by myself. I will also go out to play and see the world, so don't worry. If you are really happy for your sister, you should go to school. When you study, you will know how to read, and you will find something you really like. Then your sister will be really happy for you." Yi Yami ruffled Yi Xiaomai's hair.
After hearing her say this, Yi Xiaomai still refused to give in. "Then I'll go to school after I find someone to help."
"Okay, you little brat, go wash up and go to bed." Yiyami nodded with a smile.
At night, the stars twinkled and the moonlight shone on the Yi family's yard. Yi Yami, looking at the moon, thought to herself: I hope you were born into a good family. I'm so sorry for taking your name...
