Chapter 380 Tenfold Repayment!

ood belonging to the Li family, their eyes gleaming with envy, but they didn't dare come near them."In a while, we'll continue our journey. Old Fourth, you keep an eye out and don't let them get too c...In Jia Yin's dream, she always slept on a small boat, rocking gently as it drifted on the sea.

Moonlight spills onto the sea surface, with colorful fish leaping about, a magnificent and magical sight...

Until morning came, she stared at the ceiling, still thinking about the dream, unable to recover.

Suiling stood aside and, seeing that her young mistress had woken up, whispered, "Miss, would you like to get up and wash Our family is about to eat!"

Jia Yin immediately sat up. Seeing that her parents' bedding was neatly folded while hers was still messy, she quickly nodded in agreement.

Shui Ling brought over a basin of warm water. When He Mama heard the noise, she also came in and gave the young lady a wet towel to wipe her face and hands, then combed her hair and changed her clothes.

When she was all dressed up, Tao Hongying came in from outside and hugged her daughter with a smile. "Little lazy pig, are you awake Mom made scallion pancakes for you, and pumpkin millet porridge. Eat more later."

Jia Yin looked at her mother's dark circles under her eyes, and she was stunned for a moment before understanding everything.

Last night's dream was so happy, how much her mother suffered!

"Mother!" Jia Yin hugged her mother's neck, lowering her head to hide her reddened eyes.

She didn't want to say thank you, maternal love wasn't something that could be repaid with a single word.

Tao Hongying thought her daughter's hand was hurting, so she quickly diverted her attention.

"Come, let's go have dinner. Be careful, or your brothers will grab all the scallion pancakes."

The two of them left the house and entered the main hall in a few steps.

As expected, all the members of the Li family were present. Only the Marquis had left early and hadn't come for breakfast.

At the sight of Jia Yin entering, everyone's eyes turned to her zongzi.

Jia Yin grinned, showing her tiny white teeth, waving a zongzi in her hand and smiling radiantly.

Everyone immediately felt relieved.

"Come here, Funiang, Grandma will hold you!" The old lady picked up her granddaughter and let her sit in her lap to eat.

Jia Yin ate a scallion pancake, half a bowl of porridge, and half a salted egg yolk diligently. Her little belly was round like a drum.

Under everyone's gaze, they ate with even more gusto.

Soon, the dinner table was cleared and everyone went about their business, leaving only Granny and Tao Hongying to coax Jia Yin into drinking her medicine.

Jia Yin almost spat out the bitter taste, but worried that her mother and grandmother would get heartburn too, she endured it and drank it down.

The older brother stood aside and saw his little sister's face scrunched up in worry. He quickly stuffed the candied fruit he was holding into her mouth.

He hadn't forgotten to comfort his younger sister, "Funiu is really amazing, she's not afraid of bitterness! Grandpa Zhang said that in three more days, she won't have to drink bitter medicine anymore."

Jia'an Jiaxi also nodded in agreement, "Just now, when Uncle went out, we already asked Uncle to buy more sesame candy and candied fruit back. Sister, eat more candy, so you won't be afraid of bitterness."

Jia Yin had a voice as sweet as honey, her small face round and plump like a cute little squirrel.

She smiled and nodded, vaguely replying, "I'll eat with my brother."

Jia'an, Jiaxi, and Mao'er all laughed, carrying their little sister to the courtyard to play.

This time, they absolutely wouldn't let their little sister do it.

They dug out the shells and brought them to their younger sister, letting her pick whichever ones she wanted!

Li Saozi, holding Nannan in her arms, was brought over by He Mama and Shuicun. Seeing Jiayin squatting by the sandpile, playing with a tightly wrapped package in her hands, she quietly let out a breath of relief, straightening her back considerably.

Upon entering, she embraced her daughter and greeted the elderly woman and Tao Hongying as usual, with the same warmth.

"Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry. Yesterday, little Nuan Nuan wasn't paying attention and hurt Fu Niuer. Last night, I scolded her several times. Look, her eyes are all swollen from crying!"

Li Laotai and Tao Hongying's faces turned sour. What about swollen eyes from crying Fu Niuer would have scars on her hands for the rest of her life.

As the old saying goes, women with wrinkles on their foreheads have cruel hearts and suffer in life.

Families who are a bit more particular would be reluctant to have such a woman as their daughter-in-law, fearing she would bring misfortune to the family.

Although the Li family wasn't afraid of this rumor, what's the worst that could happen They could raise their daughter for her whole life.

But who can replace the suffering that a daughter endures!

Li Laotai's last shred of sympathy, which had remained because of Sun Fujin, vanished completely this moment.

She sneered, "Poor little Nuan Nuan has swollen eyes from crying What about our Fu Niu'er who lost half a bowl of blood and has two-inch long scars on her hands That can't be considered lucky, can it"

"If it wasn't your own child, you wouldn't feel bad, would you!" Tao Hongying retorted sarcastically, "But we, our child is hurt like this, and we can't even be angry, otherwise we'd be ungrateful white-eyed wolves!"

Li Saozi was flustered and quickly knelt down, "Ma'am... no, Madam, Fourth Madame, it's the slave girl who is ignorant. Please forgive me."

Miss Nuan is still young. She used to live with our mistress at her uncle's house, where several of her cousins often took her things. Miss Nuan would not fight back for them, so she wouldn't have enough to eat or use. This has made her a bit impatient...

Tao Hongying had no patience to hear her explain so much, and just wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible.

Then, she waved her hand, signaling He Mamma to bring up the things.

There are two packages in total, one big and one small.

The large parcel contained four sets of clothing, two for Li's wife and two for the little girl.

It's not silk or chiffon, just plain cotton fabric, about eight to nine out of ten new, the kind you can take out and wash whenever you need.

It even included underwear and socks, very complete.

Inside the small package was a wooden box, divided into two layers.

A crimson collar hung around the creature's neck, with a long life lock dangling from it.

Below that were twenty ingots neatly arranged, each weighing five ounces, along with a few silver notes.

When Li's wife saw the golden necklace, she realized it was the one that Madam had given to Li's family. Her face turned even paler, and her heart pounded with fear.

Is the Li family trying to repay their debt all at once and then sever all ties

That's out of the question!

Even if she and the young lady fled to relatives, they still need someone powerful to back them up.

What if Wang Jiayou's family comes looking for her and takes her back

If we don't expect anything from the Li family, what about the Sun family

She's probably afraid that the Sun family, knowing she has so much money, will be the first to eliminate her and then seize all the wealth for themselves...

Cold sweat trickled down her forehead.

"No, no, Madam Dowager, Fourth Mistress, please don't do this. This servant knows she was wrong! No, Miss also knows she was wrong!"

Li Sao kowtowed frantically, even pressing Nannan's head and kowtowing to the ground together.

Nannan is still young, and she didn't sleep well last night because she was confined to her room.

This morning, I only ate half a bowl of congee and felt a bit grumpy.

Suddenly so messed about, she pulled her voice and wailed and cried.

The little girl's cries were piercing and sharp, causing both Lao Li and Tao Hongying headaches.

Think about it carefully, Fu Niuer hadn't cried much since she was born. She often laughed so hard that her saliva dribbled out.

... she is just a son and daughter of Huiniang, if they are hungry or need to urinate, at most they will just whine a few times.

...

They've really never been exposed to the torment of a crying child...

"Alright!" The old woman called out to Li's wife, her voice grave. "First, listen to what's going on with the Sun family, then we'll talk about other things."

When Li’s wife heard this, she seemed to have some leeway, so she quickly hugged her daughter and comforted her.

Tao Hongying rubbed her temples and told the two Mr. Sun's family affairs.

Li's wife immediately chose to side with Elder Master Sun Siyuan, because when the mistress was alive, she had occasionally spoken a few words.

My grandfather was not close to his eldest son, but he was very good friends with a cousin of his. This cousin also lived in the Kyoto area.

Well, then it must be this old master.nodded."Alright, go on! We've got you and your two brothers looking after things at home. Don't worry about Hongying and Funi either!"Seeing her husband's expression, Tao Hongying guessed that she wou...
