Chapter 1645: Earning Small Money Quietly
As soon as Liu's mother fell silent, the old woman next to her became anxious.
She was sent to the outskirts of the city, which was not as comfortable as the Liu family. She just hoped that one day she could get out of this situation. Wen Shiqing and her child were her hope, so how could something go wrong?
Seeing that Liu's mother didn't know how to answer, the old woman rolled her eyes, leaned forward a step, raised her sleeves and began to wipe her tears.
"Young Madam, please be kind. My poor grandson is so seriously ill that I have sacrificed my dignity to come and beg you. Young Madam is kind-hearted and will not stand by and watch him die, right..."
These words are very beautifully said, but in modern times they would be pure moral kidnapping.
[Damn! That mistress’s child must be sick, anchor, please don’t worry about it!]
[Disgusting! So disgusting!]
[I have never seen such a standard example of moral kidnapping in my life! ! ! ]
The commentators also understood what was happening and expressed their indignation.
After the old woman said this, Liu's mother also reacted and continued, "Yes, yes, Grandma Sun's grandson is only a few months old. It's really pitiful. Shi Li, take out Chi Lian!"
Shi Li did not speak immediately, but shifted his gaze to Grandma Sun's face. Looking at her wrinkled old face, only her eyes were rolling around shrewdly, revealing her thoughts without a doubt.
"Your little grandson is so precious." Shi Li was also angry. Liu's mother and this old lady were simply treating her like a fool.
Red Lotus is a rare item. Not only is there no market for it, but even if it really exists, no master would be kind enough to give it to his servants. It is really outrageous.
And from what Liu's mother said, she didn't want just one plant, but wanted her to take out all the red lotuses.
What do you take her for?
Taken advantage of?
Even a clay figure has some earthiness, let alone Shi Li. She immediately frowned and was about to refuse.
But before the first word was uttered, Liu's father walked in from outside.
I don’t know where he got the news from, or how much he heard. When he walked in, he first glanced at Liu’s mother, then looked at Shi Li lovingly.
"You went to the He family? Thank you for your hard work."
Shi Li forced a smile and saluted Liu's father, "It's not hard, it's all my duty."
After all, Father Liu is her God of Wealth, so she should give him the face he deserves.
Then, Father Liu walked over to Mother Liu and looked at her deeply.
His eyes were complicated, showing disappointment and helplessness.
Mother Liu seemed timid and opened her mouth to speak.
Father Liu did not give her a chance to speak, but looked at Grandma Sun, "Is your grandson sick? Do you need Chi Lian to save his life?"
Mrs. Sun had worked in the Liu family for decades and knew that Father Liu was not as easy to fool as Mother Liu. She didn't even dare to raise her head and uttered a trembling "yes".
Silence gradually spread in the room.
Father Liu didn't speak for a long time. No one else dared to speak, and Shi Li didn't speak either.
She was waiting to see what Liu's father wanted to do.
"Mrs. Sun has been in the Liu family for decades and was once Qi Han's wet nurse."
Father Liu finally spoke, and the person he was looking at became Shi Li. His voice and eyes were full of fatigue. "Shi Li, let's help if we can."
Shi Li's heart sank.
She knew that Father Liu must have guessed who Chi Lian would give it to, but he still chose to be biased in this matter. This was understandable. Even if Father Liu no longer liked Wen Shiqing, her child was still a child of the Liu family.
"Father is right. I'll ask someone to get a red lotus right away." Shi Li silently exhaled the foul air in his chest and answered with his head down.
Hearing her say "one", Mrs. Sun glanced quickly at Liu's mother. Liu's mother wanted to speak again, but Liu's father suddenly coughed and interrupted her directly.
"Shi Li, remember to keep the land deed that the housekeeper will send to you later." Father Liu did not look at Mother Liu or anyone else. He just said this to Shi Li, and then coughed heavily twice.
No one knew whether he was really feeling unwell or was just using this as a warning.
Neither Mr. Liu nor Mrs. Sun dared to speak.
"Yes, my daughter-in-law will take her leave first." Shi Li didn't want to stay here any longer, so she knelt down to say goodbye and turned to walk towards her own yard.
Father Liu's meaning was very clear. He was using the land deed to buy the red lotus in her hand, and he only wanted one, so there was no reason for her to refuse.
I just suddenly felt that living like this was really boring.
It would be better to let Liu Qihan and Wen Shiqing come back and make some trouble, so that she can take the opportunity to move out reasonably.
But she just thought about it. Although this era was not so feudal that women were not allowed to divorce, it was true that life after divorce was not easy, unless she found someone to remarry.
If I were to marry a second time, what difference would it make from my life now?
Shi Li raised her head to look at the sky and for the first time felt that she had encountered a problem that could not be solved by money.
