Chapter 202 Original Sin 11
After applying ointment to the mosquito bites, Shuangshuang dressed her mother in the new clothes she had bought for her. Clothes priced at ten yuan a piece weren’t particularly cheap, as most clothes at the time were selling for five yuan each.
Shuangshuang had excellent taste, and the clothes weren’t the flashy, trendy kind but rather simple and clean. When worn by Feng Jinyan, they restored some of her graceful beauty.
The entire day, Shuangshuang was busy with things related to Feng Jinyan, and she didn’t have time to pick mushrooms. It was only in the afternoon that Shuangshuang found an opportunity to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms.
This time, Shuangshuang almost ran to pick the mushrooms quickly and hurried back home. When she got home, Feng Jinyan had listened to Shuangshuang’s instructions and stayed inside the house, but Shuangshuang didn’t close the door.
She didn’t want her mother to feel like she was still trapped, and she was also afraid that if Feng Jinyan went into the courtyard, the Yun Family might bully her, so she reminded Feng Jinyan to wait for her in the house when she wasn’t around.
This time, Shuangshuang rushed so quickly that she didn’t manage to find wild eggs for Feng Jinyan. Instead, she directly served a bowl of bone soup filled with lots of pieces of meat for Feng Jinyan to eat. Shuangshuang wasn’t worried that the Yun Family would be angry about her giving meat to her mom. She could now buy back ten pounds of bulk bones every day; the Yun Family might be reluctant, but they wouldn’t be too distressed.
As long as Shuangshuang could keep earning money and didn’t make any excessive demands, her standing in the family wouldn’t be so low; at least she would have the right to let her mother eat some meat.
Thus, Shuangshuang no longer needed to be overly patient and tolerant. The Yun Family’s greed would lower their baseline for her! Of course, as long as Shuangshuang could earn more money, her status in the Yun Family would surely rise.
However, Shuangshuang wasn’t going to do that. She was earning money to escape with her mother Feng Jinyan, not to let the Yun Family lead comfortable lives.
Shuangshuang didn’t dare to give Feng Jinyan too much food. Her mother, who had been malnourished and not eating meat for too long, couldn’t suddenly consume too much rich food as it could upset her stomach. That would be troublesome since Shuangshuang alone couldn’t take Feng Jinyan to the hospital, and they certainly couldn’t rely on the Yun Family.
