She didn't expect that Li Can would ask so straightforwardly. After being stunned for a moment, she said: "Did the seventh sister forget?
What did you want in the past, but I didn't buy it for you? No matter how expensive it was, I never said a word.
I give them every bagful of melon seeds."
Thinking about the past days, she still felt regretful in her heart. It was a pity that Mrs. Lin somehow noticed that there was something wrong with the Gushen Pill and stopped taking it.
If she takes a few more years, Mrs. Lin will become terminally ill, and Li Can will have no one to help her. Will all the money and the shop belong to her?
If that's the case, when the eldest daughter gets married now, she won't just rely on the dowry provided by the father-in-law. It's really shabby, but there's nothing we can do about it.
I can only think about getting the bride price back when the time comes.
Li Can chuckled: "How dare mother say this?
Of the money you spent buying things for me, is one tael of it your mother’s own?
There are also golden melon seeds. Aren’t those all made by my shops?
Why, my mother just handled it and it turned into something that my mother gave to me?
Those were all left to me by my mother."
Mr. He said that her face turned blue and white, and she paused before saying: "I'm just a stepmother, do you still expect me to come up with a dowry to fill your shoes?
You haven't seen what other people's stepmothers are like. Although those things belong to you, I really love you."
"I don't dare to expect my mother to give me any private property." Li Can said unhurriedly: "As long as my mother can pay me back all the money she owes me before I get married, even if she doesn't care about me as a stepdaughter.
If you love her so much, your mother's merits will be considered complete."
Mrs. Li and Mrs. Lin looked at each other, with surprise in their eyes.
I have always thought that this little girl is soft and sweet and easy to talk to. I am afraid that she will have to wait until she gets married and has children before she can become hard-tempered.
Unexpectedly, she could also speak such sharp words. They had underestimated her in the past.
Mr. He was even more shocked.
In these days, Li Can never mentioned the matter of repaying the money. She thought that the matter was in the past.
Now it sounds like Li Can is actually planning to ask her for those silver coins?
One million six hundred and twenty thousand taels, what can she give in return?
She was speechless for a moment.
"Actually, I'm not in a hurry." Li Can continued: "I know that my mother can't afford that much money at the moment.
Mother can give it to me separately.
Doesn’t my mother still have two small shops? There is always income every month, right?
Mother only needs to pay me back every month, and I can find a bookkeeper to handle this account for my mother."
Now that we have said this, let’s get the debt back.
Mr. He's life is still a little too comfortable now, and he still has the energy to go to his grandmother to arrange her, so let's find something for her to do.
"Seventh sister." Mr. He came back to his senses, with hatred hidden in his eyes: "We are all a family, you can't be so ruthless in doing things, right?"
So, after all her hard work for so many years, she didn’t get even a tael of silver?
All the money must be returned to Li Can?
"What did mother say?" Li Can looked at her with his eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief: "I'm terrible at what I do?
Could it be that mother wants to default on the debt?"
"How is that possible?" Mr. He immediately said: "It's just my two small shops that have no income..."
"I just said that my mother is from a well-known family, so she won't be a defaulter." Li Can bent his eyes and smiled: "We are all from the same family, how can I embarrass my mother?
In this way, if you have one hundred taels, you can pay me back one hundred taels every month. If you don't have one hundred taels, you can pay me eighty taels. I'm not in a hurry."
Hearing this, Mr. He almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
The monthly income of her two shops is only about one hundred taels.
Whenever something happened in any given month, there wouldn't be enough money. Ever since Li Can took the shop back, she never had enough money.
If, as Li Can said, she had to pay back the money every month, how would she still be able to live her life?
"Grandma, eldest aunt, what do you think?" Li Can turned her little face, bent her eyes and smiled sweetly.
"One hundred taels a month is too much." Mrs. Lin said, "My younger brothers and sisters also need to keep some money with them, so eighty taels will be enough."
She is actually the most gentle person.
If she had discovered something was wrong with the God-Reinforcing Pill, she might have helped to persuade her. After all, everything would be fine with her family.
But after knowing that Mr. He harbored evil intentions towards her, she no longer wanted to have much contact with Mr. He.
He had harmed her, but she never thought about taking revenge.
But even in the past, if she had to choose, she would definitely choose her heart.
Let alone today.
Mr. He really started to cry now: "My pitiful income is not enough for Sui Sui to buy things from time to time. If I give it to the seventh sister, how can I live my life..."
"Since we have to pay off the debt, let Sixth Brother save some time." Li Can in turn comforted her and said, "It just so happens that I can use this incident to teach Sixth Brother what it means to be responsible."
"Seventh sister...my seventh sister...I didn't expect that you would treat me like this when you are a mother and a daughter..." Mr. He simply burst into tears: "What happened to your fifth sister?"
When something happens, just turn your elbows outward...
I can't bear to spend money on your fourth sister's makeup. The five or six items added up are only worth three to five hundred taels...
God, why am I so miserable..."
This time, she could not cry more clearly.
Mrs. Li frowned repeatedly when she saw what she was doing.
Mrs. Lin was also hesitant to speak. How could Mrs. He be different from that shrew in the market?
Li Can looked at her coldly, even if Mr. He cried to death in front of her, she would not show any mercy.
Only Li Xiangnan got up and wiped He's tears, and Aunt Xi also whispered to comfort her.
"Xin'er, what's going on with the makeup stuff?"
After He's crying subsided, Lin looked at Li Can and asked.
"I will have someone bring the things she added to show to my mother and sister-in-law." He stood up and wiped her tears again: "I'm afraid there is no girl in the entire Imperial Capital who adds this kind of makeup to her sisters.
It really makes people laugh to death.”
As she spoke, she waved her hand and ordered: "Aunt Xi, ask someone to move the things in."
Li Can watched the maids opening the wooden boxes one by one. Not only was he not nervous, but there was a bit of a smile in his eyes.
Mr. He was really able to do it, and even asked people to move the things to his grandmother's place.
It seemed that Mrs. He was just here to seek justice for Li Lainan, but she didn't even have time to show Li Xiangnan the things she gave her.
If Li Xiangnan were to take a look, they mother and daughter would not do such a stupid thing.
Li Xiangnan was stunned when she looked at the contents in those boxes.
She recognized two of them, which she had given to Li Can before.
Some of those worthless things were even given when she bought expensive jewelry. She thought Li Can had thrown them away long ago, but she didn't expect that Li Can had kept them until now and even added makeup to her.
"Mother, sister-in-law, take a look..." Mr. He grabbed a crown and threw it back, about to question it.
Li Xiangnan suddenly hugged her arm: "Mom, stop talking."
"Why didn't I say it? Shut up." He pushed her away, pointed at the heads and looked at Li Can: "Seventh sister, it's already this time, and your fourth sister is still pleading for you.
And what about you? Is this how you treat your fourth sister?"
"Grandma, is there any tea? I'm thirsty." Li Can turned to look at Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li raised her hand and ordered: "Serve tea."
Just when He was about to speak again, Li Can spoke slowly: "Instead of questioning me, mother, why not listen to what the fourth sister said?"
