"Eat, eat, eat, can’t you think of something other than eating?"
Lin Jiayi interrupted him, and was it just for eating white flour bread to solve satiety that she married him?
In her previous life, even though it was the same, marrying into the Qin Family she would also eat white flour buns every day.
"At home, anyone can take care of it, but both younger sisters are old enough as well. They can do the laundry and cooking. You don’t always have to keep an eye on the minor farming work. Guang Yuan, I know you’re not satisfied with our current life. You’re so smart, just think of any business idea, and it will make money. I am counting on you in this lifetime."
Li Guangyuan didn’t understand why Lin Jiayi was so obsessed with doing business, but being trusted by his wife like that, he felt a sense of accomplishment deeper inside and instinctively comforted her, "Alright, don’t worry, let me think about it a bit more."
Lin Jiayi kissed him happily, "I knew I didn’t misjudge you."
"Wait a moment," she took out 200 yuan from a secret corner of the box to show him, "This is my dowry money, you don’t have to worry about the capital. If it’s not enough, I’ll ask my parents for more. Guang Yuan, remember, your abilities are worth any effort."
Because of her affirmation, Li Guangyuan’s confidence skyrocketed, "Wife, rest assured, I will definitely make you live a good life."
Lin Jiayi absolutely believed him, was about to ask him what business he planned to do, when she turned her head and saw two sister-in-laws walking in through the front door.
Each of them was wearing a floral coat, the brand-new fabric looked strikingly familiar.
Thinking of something, Lin Jiayi quickly ran to the box, rummaging through her own things, and finally screamed in despair, "My fabric is gone, they actually stole my fabric."
Li Guangyuan also saw the clothes on his two sisters, frowning slightly, but still comforted his wife first.
"My younger sister has been spoiled by mom, Jiayi, don’t be angry, I’ll mention this to mom in a bit, tell them to stop going through your things from now on."
"Just mentioning it, that’s it? Li Guangyuan, don’t you see they even took our wedding gift to make clothes? That was your gift to me, my own belongings."
Lin Jiayi went mad, she had planned to make a new cotton garment with that fabric, the cotton was already picked.
Li Guangyuan didn’t understand why she was reacting so intensely, "What else can be done? The clothes are already made, even if you make them take off the clothes for you, you can’t fit into their sizes either."
Lin Jiayi knew that too, so she was anxious, "If they can’t return my fabric, then return the money. You go and talk to your mom, tell her how much the fabric is worth and to give me that amount."
Li Guangyuan stared at the money in her hand, "We’re all family, it’s just a piece of fabric, why make such a big deal out of it?"
He himself had so much money in hand, yet she wanted him to ask his mother for money. His mom struggled to raise the three of them and even got him a wife, which was already not easy.
Seeing that Li Guangyuan was reluctant, Lin Jiayi hid the money again and turned to leave, "If you won’t speak, I will..."
Old Mrs. Li, contentedly watching her two daughters, heard Lin Jiayi’s accusation and didn’t even glance her way.
"Guangyuan’s wife, since you’ve married into the Li family, you are part of the Li family. Don’t distinguish between your things and mine, and besides, you don’t even do any farming at home, what are you saving this fabric for? Hongmei and Dongmei are not young anymore; if they dress nicely and find good in-laws later, wouldn’t you as their sister-in-law also benefit?"
