Li Guangyuan immediately understood what she wanted to do and hurriedly comforted her, "I know it’s their fault, but my mom has already apologized to you at her old age, what else can she do? You know our family’s situation, we spent all our savings on my wedding, even if you cut my elder and second sisters now, the cloth won’t return, right?"
"Is that their attitude of admitting mistakes?" What’s even more infuriating was that Li Guangyuan didn’t even speak up for her.
"No no, let me apologize to you then, don’t worry, once I have money, the first thing I’ll do is buy you cloth and new clothes, lots of new clothes. You wanted me to do business, right? We’ll do business, make big money, and then I’ll buy you all the new clothes you want, isn’t that alright?"
Lin Jiayi finally calmed down after hearing him say this, turning to look at him, "Alright, let’s agree on that, we must find a business to do soon."
Li Guangyuan nodded, "Okay, I’ll look into what business we can do later."
While talking, his gaze fell on her package.
Lin Jiayi knew what he was thinking, and without fuss, she took out the two hundred yuan she had just put back and handed it over to him directly.
"You manage this seed money, do whatever you want with it, I know you can handle it."
Li Guangyuan stared at the stack of money in his hand, his fingers trembling a bit.
Two hundred yuan, that’s not a small amount, he had never held so much money in his life.
His wife giving it to him was a sign of her trust.
"Jiayi, don’t worry, once I have money, I will definitely treat you well, and won’t let you suffer even a bit of grievance."
Lin Jiayi leaned into his arms, a face full of happiness, "Remember what you said just now."

After the last experience, Chuxia didn’t ask her elder brother for help in picking tomatoes again, having already split the family’s responsibilities, she couldn’t always rely on others.
Instead, her in-laws got up early in the morning to help her pick tomatoes in the field.
Chuxia got up early, steamed a pot of buns stuffed with minced meat and green beans, placed mung beans at the bottom of the pot, and cooked mung bean soup. When heading to the field, she took both the buns and mung bean soup with her.
Mrs. Qin still felt a bit embarrassed, "I was thinking of cooking some meals and bringing them over once we were done picking."
"Mom, there’s no need for that hassle, I had everything ready since I woke up early."
"Then next time you don’t need to rush to the field, your father and I can start working early, and you can come over after cooking at home. You don’t need to get up so early, young people like you don’t sleep as much as us old folks and lacking sleep should be uncomfortable."
Chuxia wanted to say that she was the earliest riser in her family regardless of the season, but she swallowed her words.
"Okay, I’ll listen to Mom."
While speaking, she served a bowl of mung bean soup for both Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin.
She had added Spiritual Spring water to this mung bean soup, and although she didn’t know if it could cure Mr. Qin’s illness, it could at least strengthen the couple’s health somewhat.
Perhaps because Qin Yang was not at home, and she was the newly wed daughter-in-law, the old couple treated her chores as their own responsibilities these days, giving selflessly without asking for anything in return.
Caring for her even more diligently than her own parents, she had never been taken care of like this by elders in her entire life.
Genuine care exchanged for genuine care, she was also willing to show filial respect to her in-laws, irrelevant of Qin Yang’s instructions.
Before noon, she picked all the tomatoes and similarly rode her bicycle with the rack to the vegetable station.
This was the time for delivering vegetables, and there were queues in front of every scale.
