Chapter 1631: Earning Small Money Quietly
The dried fruit shop remained open until curfew.
Yu Mo was always the last guy to leave. After taking inventory, it was already time to light the lamps when he returned home.
His mother, who was able to get up, prepared simple meals for him. When she saw him come back, she urged him to eat quickly.
Yu Mo had something on his mind, so he didn't say much and sat down to eat in silence.
His mother looked at him lovingly and said something to him.
"I never thought that my old bones could get better. This time, it's all thanks to your boss. I heard from Doctor Xu that he was also invited from Suzhou by your boss?"
Yumo paused with the chopsticks in his hand, looked at his mother and nodded.
"Yes, my boss knows that you are sick, so he specially invited Doctor Xu to come for me and also gave me two medicinal herbs." He answered truthfully.
The mother sighed, tears in her eyes, "It's not easy... The boss is so good to us, we must think of ways to repay him in the future..."
These words were exactly what Yu Mo was thinking. He nodded heavily and said, "I will definitely repay her."
The mother didn't know that the employer was such a young lady, so she had no idea what her son was feeling.
He is just a clerk now and has to rely on Shi Li and the shopkeeper to support his family. How can he repay them?
Yu Mo tossed and turned.
His father had been a businessman before, but he was unlucky and lost everything. But now if he wanted to get rich, he had no choice but to go into business.
Originally, Yu Mo wanted to wait a few more years, save up some capital, and then go into business.
But when I closed my eyes and thought about what had happened recently, I felt helpless to wait any longer and just wanted to take action immediately.
No matter whether he makes a profit or a loss, he must find a way to get out of his current situation.
I woke up from a dream at midnight and saw a gentle girl standing not far away, talking and laughing. Later, a man and a woman with hideous faces appeared beside her, laughing at her.
Waking up from a nightmare, Yu Mo had no intention of falling asleep again. He sat up and silently looked at the bright and soft moonlight outside the window. It was like the girl's gentle face and eyes, unforgettable.
Money makes the world go round. The news that Wen Shiqing quietly left the west wing and went out with Liu Qihan soon reached the ears of Liu's father.
This man, who had been shrewd for half his life, was almost vomiting blood because of his own son. But he remembered that this was not a glorious thing, so he kept it to himself and went to find Liu's mother first.
As to what the two talked about in the study, it is unknown, and all the servants were driven out.
But in the end, Liu's mother hurried away with her face covered with a handkerchief, while Liu's father stayed alone in the study, sighing.
When Shi Li knew about this, she guessed that the two of them must have had a disagreement. In fact, she had long seen that Liu's mother favored Wen Shiqing and was only doing it for her own sake.
Fortunately, Father Liu can still be the head of the family, so her life in the future will not be too difficult.
If all else fails, she will move to the house she came with as a dowry and try to avoid seeing it.
However, these days, the wife is not asked to move out, so Shi Li would not do this unless it is absolutely necessary.
Another month passed by in a dull and uneventful manner.
Liu Qihan might have been scolded by his father. Although he still went to the west wing secretly from time to time, he no longer turned his face away when he saw Shi Li. He treated her with respect, but he never stayed overnight in the house.
This is actually Shi Li's most satisfied state, so she doesn't bother to care about those trivial things between him and Wen Shiqing, and just enjoys being at ease.
On this day, another family that had a good relationship with the Liu family had a newborn baby boy, and sent someone to invite Liu's mother and Shi Li to a banquet.
This was something the wife could not shirk. Although Shi Li was not very willing to deal with it, she had to go on this trip with Liu's mother.
I originally thought I would just show up to be polite, but Liu's mother ended up praising the newborn son and hinted in her words that she wanted to be a grandmother.
Shi Li: ???
Are you okay?
What's the character of your son? Do you have selective amnesia?
Shi Li complained a lot in her heart again, but she didn't say anything. Considering that Liu's mother gave her gifts from time to time, she endured it this time.
Unexpectedly, on the way back in the carriage, Liu's mother actually acted in a serious tone and spoke in a serious manner.
"Lili, I'm not saying anything bad to you, but you and Han'er have been married for almost half a year. You have to pay more attention to the issue of offspring."
Maybe life has been going too smoothly for Liu's mother recently, and she even forgot the truth of the matter, and started to act like a mother-in-law to Shi Li.
Now, there were only two of them in the carriage, so Shi Li stopped pretending.
He looked at Liu's mother with a smile, "Yes, I'll ask someone to invite him back later and talk to him about this."
Mother Liu stopped talking for a moment.
Please come back? Where should we invite him? To the West Wing? Or should we go outside and find Liu Qihan and Wen Shiqing?
She looked at Shi Li in surprise and suspicion, suspecting that she already knew.
