Li Dongmei couldn’t hold back, "Big sister, have you forgotten how she treated us back then? Why do you want to take her along? She’s divorced from our brother and has nothing to do with us anymore."
Li Hongmei patted Li Dongmei’s shoulder, "Little sister, how can you say that? No matter what, the eldest sister-in-law is Genbao’s mom, and Genbao is the root of the Li Family. The eldest sister-in-law wants to find Genbao, as his aunt, I certainly have to help. Don’t say that, whatever happened in the past is past, let’s just do it for Genbao."
Li Hongmei’s words were full of genuine emotion, yet Lin Jiayi still felt a bit wary.
Trust these two sisters-in-law?
Lin Jiayi didn’t feel there was anything about these two sisters-in-law that she could trust.
Li Hongmei naturally noticed Lin Jiayi’s thoughts and smiled slightly, "Sister-in-law, don’t overthink. Over the years, I’ve been traveling outside, not the same person I used to be. The matter between you and big brother, as a younger sister, I can’t help. After all, matters of love can’t be helped by anyone. But as sisters-in-law, we’ve been family for so many years, I can’t bear to see sister-in-law disliked and homeless. Based on what I and Dongmei have gone through, we understand sister-in-law’s difficulties. Now the South is developing well, jobs are easy to find. When that time comes, just come with us to the South to work. Us women, even without men, can still support ourselves, can’t we?"
These words truly hit Lin Jiayi’s heart.
She looked at Li Hongmei in doubt, "Are you really serious?"
Li Hongmei chided playfully, "Who else would I fool but my own family? If sister-in-law doesn’t believe, can you tell by looking at me and Hongmei?"
She generously stretched out her arm and twirled, showing off the large gold bracelet on her wrist.
"Money is easy to earn down South. What is called a special economic zone? Only when you get there do you realize who is rich."
Li Dongmei had already guessed her eldest sister’s intention and nodded along, "Exactly, we sisters are putting aside past grievances to give you a glimpse. If you’re still contemptuous, then forget it. Big sister, stop talking to her; she’s just a dirty-minded person, not trusting others because of her own dirty mind."
Li Hongmei saw Lin Jiayi still unwilling to relent, appearing very hurt, and finally sighed, "Alright, then let’s forget it..."
Before she finished speaking, Lin Jiayi hurriedly spoke, "Okay, I’ll go with you."
Li Hongmei then smiled and took her hand, "That’s the right choice, sister-in-law. Us women are no less capable than men. When the time comes, we’ll make money together and find Genbao together..."
The two knew Lin Jiayi wasn’t living in the village and asked where she was living now.
They even went to see where she lived.
Seeing she only rented a small gatehouse in a courtyard, both were distressed.
Li Hongmei even complained about her brother being heartless, saying men couldn’t be relied on.
Those words resonated with Lin Jiayi’s heart.
No matter in the past or present, while she wholeheartedly dedicated herself to the family, not a single man could be relied on.
It seemed like what these two sisters-in-law said was true, she could only rely on herself.
She wanted to invite the two sisters-in-law to lunch, but her home was simply too small, and she didn’t have much money.
Thankfully, the two sisters-in-law understood her difficulties, saying they were anxious to go back to visit Old Mrs. Li, and asked her to just wait at home for a couple of days until they came to take her to the South.
By this time, Lin Jiayi felt no resentment towards these two sisters-in-law, seeing them as two lifesaving straws, thanked them profusely as she sent them out.
Only after seeing the two sisters-in-law off to the main road and watching them board the bus did she turn back.
She hadn’t walked far when a figure ran over rashly, bumping into Lin Jiayi and making her stumble.
"What’s wrong with you kid, walking without looking..."
Lin Jiayi’s words were stuck in her throat as she was shocked looking at the little boy in front of her, feeling like her whole blood had frozen for a moment.
