Chapter 281 Chilling(1/2)

Mianniang cried alone for a long time, but she still didn't think about what she should do.

Her eyes would definitely not heal, so where would the money come from? She couldn't buy medicine to apply to her eyes, because she didn't have money, and the doctor also said that even if she applied medicine, her eyes wouldn't heal.

It's not like you're going blind.

It seems that Mian Niang didn't make enough money last time, and Zhang Li felt unsafe. What if he waited and waited, and after three months, she didn't have so much money, not even twelve taels, then what would he do?

Just do it!

He went to see Yan'er once in March, which was already the longest time he could endure. He absolutely could not give in anymore!

"After dinner today, I'll go outside to look for work." Zhang Li announced.

Mian Niang paused for a moment, almost thinking that Zhang Li knew about her eyes.

"That's fine." Mianniang said softly.

"Well, I'll try, but you have to hurry up, there's no money left at home..." Zhang Li said.

"Um……"

"Huh!" Jin'er snorted.

Mianniang had no choice but to continue embroidering while her eyes could still see.

But she slowly discovered that she really couldn't see. Not to mention needlework, she couldn't even see clearly when cutting vegetables...

When Jin'er found out, it was because Mianniang cut her hand...

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Why are you distracted when cutting vegetables?" Jin'er only thought that Mianniang cut her hands because she was distracted.

Mianniang quickly held the towel down and frowned slightly, but she soon shed tears.

She would no longer be able to hide it anymore, and now she had planned to tell Jin'er first.

"What's wrong? It hurts?" Jin'er asked quickly.

"Jin'er, mother... mother can't be seen..." Mian Niang said in tears.

Jin'er's heart skipped a beat, what did it mean to be invisible!

"Mother..." Jin'er was also in a rare panic.

"I went to the medical clinic a few days ago, and the doctor said that my mother's eyes will never get better, and will slowly get worse in the future, and she may not be able to see at all..." Mian Niang cried softly.

"How could it be? Which hospital did mom go to? Let's find another one with the best doctor..." Jin'er said incoherently.

"It's useless... I went to the best medical clinic... and my own eyes also have feelings. It's only been a few days, and I can't even see clearly when cutting vegetables..."

"Mom..." Jin'er's face was full of panic, and she didn't know what to say.

"In the future, I'm afraid my mother won't be able to embroider anymore, and she won't be able to see anymore, so I'll have to look for other jobs recently, but if I can't see, I probably won't be able to find any work..." Mian Niang said with a sad smile.

Jin'er quickly hugged Mianniang, feeling very complicated and feeling numb from the pain.

She will never forget that when their family was still doing well and her mother was not working so hard to make money, she really loved embroidery, and her face would be filled with radiance when she embroidered satisfactory embroidery.

But then things slowly changed. She was not enjoying herself or doing what she liked, but was forced to do it for money.

Now, she can no longer see the most important eye for embroidery... which means she will never be able to embroider again.

She won't even be able to maintain her daily life in the future. She can't even see when chopping vegetables, so she really can't do anything.

"Mom, don't be afraid. I have grown up now and can look for work outside. I will definitely be able to support both of us..." Jin'er comforted her.

As for her father, he has hands and feet, so he should be able to support himself, and even the family!

"Don't tell your father about this..." Mian Niang begged.

"Why? Mom, do you still want to give him money?" Jin'er said in disbelief.

Mianniang didn't say anything, but looking at her expression, she obviously acquiesced.

Jin'er just wants to laugh at this moment. This is really ridiculous. It's already this time, why can she still think of this!

"What money are you giving him? Our family may not even be able to afford food!" Jin'er said angrily.

She has hands and feet, which can only ensure that she goes out to work to keep her and her mother from starving to death. There is nothing else. Where will the money come from at home to give that person!

"If your father doesn't give him any money, I'm afraid he will never come back to this family again..." Mianniang choked.

"If he doesn't come back, he won't come back. We actually saved money for food! Why can't you leave him?" Jin'er asked puzzled.

"got used to……"

I am used to having him, used to taking care of him, and used to loving him as my life...

"Then let me ask you, where did you get the money?" Jin'er said angrily.

Going at this time, Mianniang didn't hide anything anymore.

"When I got married, your grandmother brought me a lot of dowry, all of which were jewelry..."

Mianniang's words are self-evident. She wants to sell those jewelry and give money to that person.

"You're crazy! What did grandma tell you when she was still alive? How could you sell those!"

Those jewelry are all made of gold and silver, and there are two jade utensils, which are indeed worth a lot of money, but they belong to my grandmother, and they are basically old items passed down from the family.

My grandmother had only one heir in her life, her mother, so she naturally gave all these things to her, and she had already told her that these things could only be passed down from family to family and could not be sold unless she was about to starve to death.

Moreover, these things were hidden, and the person still doesn’t know about it. Maybe it was because when my grandmother was still alive, she had already seen that the person was not reliable at all, so she forced her mother to swear a poisonous oath not to allow it.

Tell that person, otherwise the couple will not be able to grow old together.

She swore on the things her mother cared about most, so her mother hid such things for more than ten years.

Fortunately, I hid it, otherwise it would have been sold out long ago.

"But, I can't think of any other way... I'm sorry for you..." Mianniang cried.

These things should have been passed on to Jin'er, but she had such thoughts... She was sorry for Jin'er...

"You are not sorry for me, you are sorry for yourself and your deceased grandmother. How did she raise you? How did you do it?" Jin'er said coldly.

She really felt sad for her grandmother. She had been blessed with such a daughter all her life. She had tried her best to cultivate her. She originally thought that she would cultivate the next generation of famous embroiderers, but it turned out that her efforts were in vain.

My mother is talented and patient, and is really a good embroiderer. But it is a pity that she fell in love with someone she shouldn't have liked. She made a mistake all her life, and now she has reached the point where she wants to take away the family heirloom.

Maybe Jin'er's words touched Mianniang's heart. When she mentioned her deceased mother, Mianniang burst into tears again. Jin'er was right, the person she felt most sorry for was her mother.

She worked hard when she was alive, but it's a pity that she was unfilial and fell to this point...

Mian Niang cried sadly, but she never mentioned the sale of her dowry again.

But Jin'er knew that since her mother had brought it up, she must have had such an idea for a long time. She felt guilty for a while and had to give up the idea. But she would still think about it.

When that person needs money, she will probably sell a few pieces of jewelry for that person and then give them to him in silver.

She really didn't care about those heirlooms, because she had never thought about getting married. But she felt it was not worth it for her grandmother.

Moreover, how long can the selling of things last? The money that person wants is not a small amount, and now their family has no source of money.

There are indeed a lot of things. No matter how good my grandmother is, she will not be able to save many things in her lifetime. I am afraid that the little jewelry will not last for a year and a half.

So what happens then? If that person wants to leave, she will leave home because of the money. Then her mother will not be able to keep him in the end, and she won’t have that much money to keep him.

Jin'er didn't know what to do, but she knew that if she didn't find a way quickly, her mother would be unable to keep those things sooner or later.

She thought about it for a long time and decided to tell him. She might as well break the pot and tell him that her mother's eyes were damaged and she could no longer embroider, so she would never give him money to go to Chunfeng Tower again.

As for whether he stays or goes, it will be his own business at that time.

Jin'er gritted her teeth, knowing that her mother would definitely hate her if this happened, but she had no other choice.

Zhang Li went out all morning and couldn't find any work. He didn't find any work last time. How could he find it this time?

Nowadays, he is not looking for a job very urgently, but just to be prepared, so when he is looking for a job, he is not serious about it. Moreover, when he is looking for a job, his own requirements are very high.

The first thing is not to be too tired. He knows that since he has never done heavy work, he will definitely not be able to do those physical tasks.

And the monthly salary is too low, so it’s better not to go. You’ll be working so hard but not making much money, so why should he go? It’s just embarrassing.

He was very picky, so apart from a quarrel with his host, nothing was accomplished all morning.

"Hurry up and cook, I'm going to starve!"

As soon as he got home, Zhang Li took out his anger on Mian Niang.

Mian Niang didn't say anything, she just went to the kitchen in silence.

"Have you found a job?" Jin'er asked angrily.

When Zhang Li mentioned this, he thought of the man who said he was worthless in the morning, but he still wanted to be beautiful, and then they had a quarrel.

As soon as Jin'er said this, he became furious and looked at Jin'er angrily.

"What's your attitude? Who taught you to talk to your father like this!"

"Don't talk about him. I'm asking you questions, but looking at you like this, you probably haven't found him yet!" Jin'er mocked.

"How can it be so easy to find a suitable job? What do you, a child, know?" Zhang Li said angrily.

"I don't want to care about you. Whether you can find him or not has nothing to do with me. I'm just asking because I have to tell you something." Jin'er said coldly.
To be continued...
