Shen Ajiao gave Lin Daiyu a look. How was that? Not bad, right?
Lin Daiyu nodded slightly, and the two of them longed to hug each other and cry.
"Grandma, please help me. Aren't you the one who loves me the most?"
"I'll pay it back for you. I'll listen to you from now on and you can make all the decisions for me."
After listening to Lin Daiyu's words, Grandmother Jia hesitated to express her opinion. Ten thousand taels of silver was no small sum; she...she...
Seeing how genuinely Lin Daiyu and Shen Shi cried, I believed it to be nine-tenths of the truth.
"You wretched child! How...how can you have no sense of moderation!"
Grandmother Jia was exasperated; the little maid had spent ten thousand taels of silver so extravagantly!
"Grandma, please help me!"
“Yu’er, it’s not that your grandmother doesn’t want to help, but even if you sell the whole house, you still won’t have that much money!”
Lin Daiyu said, "Grandmother will give me some money first to help me through this. I'll figure out the rest later."
Shen Ajiao quickly followed, "Grandma, please help us out a little. We can pay back some of the rest by selling our belongings."
Lady Wang and Grandmother Jia exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with disappointment and a sense of choice.
"Yu'er! Now that your father is gone, and you are no longer the daughter of an official, you should stop putting on airs!"
Lin Daiyu timidly clenched the handkerchief in her hand, the light in her eyes instantly extinguished, and nodded, "Grandmother is right."
"You go back first, I'll think of something!"
Grandmother Jia sighed, looking at the attire of Lin Daiyu and Shen Ajiao, "Some outfits can be exchanged for some money, don't worry about those superficial things."
Lin Daiyu's eyes were filled with tears, looking pitiful, and she still wanted to try her best, "Won't Grandmother help me?"
"What are you saying, girl? Go back first, I'll think of something."
"I want to stay and live with my grandmother." Lin Daiyu glanced at Chen Ajiao, "Madam, you please..."
Before she could finish speaking, Madam Wang interrupted Lin Daiyu, "These past few days have been busy at home, and you know we've been busy with the Empress's affairs. There's no rush for you to stay here. You should go back first, Yu'er."
Lin Daiyu bit her lower lip and looked timidly at Grandmother Jia. Grandmother Jia nodded, "Your aunt is right. Go on, there are many things to do at home lately."
Lin Daiyu turned back every few steps, reluctant to leave, "Grandmother, if you don't help me, what... what will I do?"
Grandmother Jia rubbed her forehead with one hand, "I'll think of a way. You shouldn't go out for the next few days."
"Waaah... Yes, Yu'er takes her leave!"
Shen Ajiao, holding Lin Daiyu, came out of Grandmother Jia's room looking miserable. Wang Xifeng hurriedly followed and called out to them, whispering, "I have three thousand taels here. You can take it and use it first. Let me see if I recognize the shop and help mediate."
Seeing that Shen Ajiao and Lin Daiyu were staring at her blankly, she assumed they were anxious.
"Don't worry, I'll figure something out for you. I have some money, so go back and pack your things and see how much you're short."
Lin Daiyu and Shen Ajiao exchanged a glance, their eyes brimming with laughter. Wang Xifeng was stunned, wondering if they were moved to tears.
Hehe, who told you that Sister Feng has so much savings? It's just some money, she can earn it back if she loses it.
The businesses under her name have been doing incredibly well lately; if all else fails, she can simply sell one of them to Mrs. Lin to balance the books.
[My Feng is truly a man of few words but lots of money, I love her!]
Wang Xifeng: What the hell?
Lin Daiyu...
Shen Ajiao was moved to tears and repeatedly refused, "Thank you, Second Madam, but you are pregnant and need money for many things, so we don't need it."
Wang Xifeng glared at her, "You look down on me?"
Shen Ajiao...
“Some people will be envious.”
As she spoke, Wang Xifeng glanced at Madam Wang standing at the door, and tears welled up in her eyes instantly. "Madam Lin, Lin sister, you've had it tough too. Please take this hundred taels for now."
"I don't have any more. This is what I saved by being frugal. From now on, eat more coarse food and don't show off."
Shen Ajiao sniffed, "Thank you so much for your great kindness, Second Madam. I have no way to repay you..."
"Don't talk about repaying me or anything, just don't mention me again!"
Shen Ajiao...
Let's go!
Madam Wang watched coldly, without saying a word, her usual enthusiasm gone. After a while, she snorted coldly, "It's better to be careful."
【cut! 】
Wang Xifeng: Tch!
Lin Daiyu: Bah!
"I'll take Mrs. Lin and her sister back."
With that, he left with Shen Ajiao and Lin Daiyu.
He saw me off at the door and instructed me, "Don't go out these next few days. If you need anything, just send someone to the northeast corner and tell them you're looking for me."
With tears in her eyes, Shen Ajiao took the 'one hundred taels' and boarded the carriage back to the Lin family.
"Hahaha, that's hilarious!"
Shen Ajiao laughed so hard she couldn't straighten up, and lay on the carriage cushion, unable to get up. "Send the money back in a couple of days."
Lin Daiyu nodded. "I'll go again this afternoon."
"What are you going to do next?"
Lin Daiyu winked mischievously, "I'm not only going today, I'm coming tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow too."
Chen Ajiao was filled with respect. [Guys, give Lin Baobao a thumbs up for that!]
Lin Daiyu: Madam has gone mad again.
As Lin Daiyu said, after resting in the afternoon, she went to the Jia family again to ask Grandmother Jia for help, and received a box of pastries and a basket of comfort.
The next day, Lin Daiyu visited again and was scolded by Grandmother Jia for being a troublesome maid.
On the third day, I was met with a cold bench and a sip of cold tea.
[I managed to get a woman to block me with just one sentence!]
"Grandmother, are you really not going to come and see me?"
"Grandma, didn't you love me the most?"
