Chapter 350: Dowry From Her Mother
On Hele Village’s side, Zhao Xiu had already recovered after a few days of recuperation.
After resting for the past few days, Zhao Xiu finally thought things through.
“What? Mother, you want to make jewelry?” Li Xiaoran widened her eyes and looked at her mother in shock.
Zhao Xiu also knew that her thoughts would scare her family, but this was what she wanted to do.
“I know this idea surprises you guys, but I really like making jewelry!” With that, Zhao Xiu took out a wooden hairpin from her pocket.
“I’ve never thought of making a gold or silver hairpin, but I can use wood to make hairpins! If someone likes it, I can also sell it for some money. Most importantly, this is what I like to do! This is a wooden hairpin I made in the past few days. Do you think it’s okay?”
Li Xiaoran took the wooden hairpin from her mother and looked at it carefully.
It had to be said that this wooden hairpin’s wood was very ordinary, but the hairpin was very exquisite and beautiful.
There was a blooming flower on the wooden hairpin simply, which Li Xiaoran was mesmerized by.
“Mother, is this Magnolia?” Li Xiaoran asked in surprise.
“That’s right! You like Magnolias, so I thought of making a hairpin for you. Your father made a set of furniture for you, so as your mother, I naturally have to express my love for you as well. Seeing that you like it, I’m satisfied!” Zhao Xiu looked at Li Xiaoran gently. “I hope my child will be like this wooden hairpin, beautiful and vivacious!”
The small wooden hairpin carried a mother’s blessing for her daughter.
Li Xiaoran held the wooden hairpin in her hand and smiled. “Thank you, Mother! This is the best hairpin I’ve ever received!”
With that, Li Xiaoran inserted this wooden hairpin into her hair.
As Zhao Xiu looked at Li Xiaoran standing in front of her with the hairpin she had made, she suddenly felt a lump in her throat.
“The little girl I raised for so many years is now married! It’s all my fault. In the past, I only cared about working and didn’t take a good look at you, nor did I accompany you as you grew up!”
With that, Zhao Xiu reached out and touched the top of Li Xiaoran’s head.
“Child! You’re very capable, much more capable than me. But I want to tell you that you’re a woman. When you’re tired and sad, don’t tough it out alone. You still have our family. We’re all your support. Whenever you’re tired, you’re welcome to come home. This time, we will protect you!” When Li Xiaoran heard this, tears fell from her eyes.
There were the Host’s emotions and Li Xiaoran’s own emotions.
“Mother, I know. The reason I’m so daring is because of you guys. As long as you guys are around, I can do whatever I want without any worries! It’s the same for you guys! If you guys want to do something, do it! Don’t leave any regrets for yourself! If you want to make jewelry, make jewelry. Don’t be afraid that you won’t be able to make it well. We’ll bear the responsibility for you!”
When Zhao Xiu heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she felt touched. The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.
Fortunately, everyone was busy at this moment and only the mother and daughter were at home. Otherwise, the two of them really wouldn’t know how to explain to them.
After crying and wiping the tears off each other’s faces, the mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled.
“By the way, you said you would make snail noodles for us to eat previously! Why don’t we make it today?! For some reason, after hearing Old Madam Jin talking about the taste of snail noodles in the shop every day, I want to eat it too!”
When Li Xiaoran heard her mother’s words, she couldn’t help but laugh.
“Sure! I’ll prepare it now, but everyone is busy at noon. Let’s eat it for dinner! I happen to have time to make a pot of snail soup.”
“Is there enough snails at home?” Zhao Xiu thought of something and asked.
“There’s enough. I’ve raised a large pile. We can eat it in the next few days. Not only can we make snail noodles, but we can also make a large plate of spicy stir-fried snails for Father and Ziyang as a side dish when drinking, ” Li Xiaoran replied with a smile.
“That’s good! Then what do you want to prepare? I’ll help you prepare. After you’re done, let’s go to the shop to help!” Zhao Xiu rolled up her sleeves and started working.
“Mother, there’s no need. You’ve just recovered. Rest well! I’ll be ready soon. As for the shop, don’t go. Xiao Qing and Ziyang can handle it. We hired so many people to do things. They can handle it!” Li Xiaoran said.
“Can they really handle it?” Zhao Xiu asked in disbelief.
“If you don’t believe me, I’ll accompany you over to take a look later! Mother, I want to leave the shop to Xiao Qing to manage in the future!” Li Xiaoran told her her plan.
Zhao Xiu was shocked when she heard her daughter’s words.
“Xiao Qing is so young. You’re letting her handle these things?”
“That’s right. She has to gain experience! I originally wanted to give the shop to you directly, but later on, I felt that it was better to teach my sister how to run the shop. As long as she learns how to manage it, it won’t be a problem for her to open a shop in the future. After she gets married, we won’t have to worry about her livelihood!” Li Xiaoran said.
“It’s fine if it’s just a matter of management, but you can’t give the shop to us or your sister, Xiao Qing. No matter how close you are to a family member, there are times when you have conflicts. Don’t let your sister become dependent on you. To be honest, I also hope that your sister can be like you, independent and strong, and can handle many things on her own! It’s not that we don’t care about her, but only in this way can she live a better life in the future!” Zhao Xiu said earnestly.
From Li Xiaoran’s substitute marriage to their family being kicked out, Zhao Xiu suddenly understood many things.
Parents had to think of the big picture for their children’s sake.
Their eldest daughter, Li Xiaoran, could already fend for herself. They hoped that their youngest daughter could do the same.
After all, they would grow old and leave the world one day. They hoped that at that time, their children would be able to fend for themselves in this world.
Li Xiaoran nodded. She could understand her mother’s feelings.
“Mother, don’t worry! We’ll live a good life in the future! As long as we manage it well, everything will get better and better!”
