Yun Jiao said calmly, "It can be done. Making the bracelet solid will probably consu quite a bit of gold. I’m worried there might not be enough. If it’s not enough, mother can ask for more."
"Also, mother can keep accounts, and I’ll settle the wages with the silver house when the ti cos."
Mrs. Chen listened to Yun Jiao’s words, realizing that this gold doesn’t include Li’s share.
And obviously she didn’t intend to give Li any gold.
She understood that Yun Jiao wasn’t a stingy person. Not giving Li was clearly due to resentnt towards Li’s previous words.
This was an issue between mother and daughter that she didn’t want to get involved in. She stood up with a warm smile, "Then, thank you very much."
"Jiao Jiao is still the best. That fool San Lang, even if he earns money, doesn’t think about these things."
Yun Jiao smiled. In Mrs. Chen’s mind, she had been upgraded again, from Yun Jiao to Jiao Jiao.
The first upgrade was when she went from being Da Lang’s wife to Yun Jiao.
She actually quite liked this.
She showed goodwill, and Mrs. Chen wholeheartedly accepted it, then repaid this goodwill in her own way.
Perhaps what they gave to each other wasn’t equivalent in monetary value, but the sentint was the sa.
With give and take, their affection for each other would deepen.
Li couldn’t understand why she, Yun Jiao’s biological mother, was being thrown aside, while Yun Jiao treated her mother-in-law so well?
Suppressing her anger, she said, "I can’t have gold to make jewelry?"
Yun Jiao said indifferently, "Don’t you look down on the jewelry from the silver house?"
Li looked aggrieved, "You won’t give that pearl hairpin, what else can I do but go to the silver house?"
Yun Jiao smiled faintly, "Too late."
"I don’t want to give it now."
Li pointed a finger at Mrs. Chen, "I am your real mother. Why are you giving to her and not to ?"
Mrs. Chen was extrely embarrassed, not knowing whether to leave or stay.
Yun Jiao calmly replied, "I earned the gold; I’ll give it to whoever I want."
"Mother treats well, so I’m willing to give her more."
Her expression suddenly turned distant, "I just don’t want to give it to you." After finishing, Yun Jiao went back to her room.
Only Mrs. Chen and Li were left in the living room.
Mrs. Chen quickly slipped away.
Li sat in the living room, wailing loudly.
Yun Jiao sat in the side room reading a book, the crying piercing like an irritating sound, driving one crazy.
She also knew her emotions were a bit over the top.
Perhaps she was projecting the resentnt towards her biological mother from her previous life onto Li.
Li, enduring double the grievances, could only accept her bad luck.
Strictly speaking, aside from neglecting her children and not fulfilling her responsibility as a mother, Li hadn’t done anything unforgivable.
Feeling agitated, Yun Jiao blocked her ears, wondering if she should forcibly send Li back to her family.
But thinking of Gu Chuan, she sighed.
Now, during als, Li would sit next to Gu Chuan as she was told, sotis even serving him dishes.
When Gu Chuan returned from school, she would ask a question or two.
Gu Chuan seed to smile more than before.
Thinking of this, Yun Jiao decided to bear with Li a little longer.
Just then, Yun Jiao heard a faint "thud thud thud" sound.
She removed her finger from her ear; soone was knocking on her window.
She opened the window and saw Jiang Youzhi standing outside, holding a cup.
He smiled gently, handing her the cup, "Drink so of this; I’ve soaked Peng Dahai in it. Your throat is almost hoarse, drink so to soothe it."
Yun Jiao took the cup, and her mood suddenly lifted, "You’re even prescribing dicine like a doctor now; that’s really impressive."
