Chapter 659: When the time comes, you will be the one criticized
Lin Fengying pointed out earnestly, "Going to Kyoto now is different from before, there’s no one to care for you there. How will you manage on your own?"
Si Xiaohui replied, "That’s why I need to borrow some money from you. Give me some living expenses, and I will pay you back once I earn money in Kyoto. There are many jobs in Kyoto and they pay well. As long as I’m willing to work hard, I won’t starve. Once I’ve made money, I’ll bring you to Kyoto, hire a nanny for you, and we never have to come back to this awful place. I really don’t want to stay here anymore."
Si Xiaohui began to paint a rosy picture to Lin Fengying. Now, she just wanted to wheedle some money from Lin Fengying so she could go to Kyoto. She couldn’t stay here in Li City anymore because she had gotten involved with a few men who had wives, who had all deceived her by promising to divorce their wives and marry her.
Now the wives of those men were all ganging up and searching for her. If she didn’t leave this place, those women would strip her of her clothes and throw her onto the street in humiliation.
Lin Fengying had an idea of Si Xiaohui’s temperament, she knew that Si Xiaohui was now very lazy and utterly disliked hard work. Even if she did work, what she earned would hardly suffice for her spending. Hence, Lin Fengying did not believe the words of Si Xiaohui about taking her to live the good life.
"You better stay home and take care of me. You are still young, marry a decent man after a few years, and stop wandering around."
Si Xiaohui rolled her eyes, "Who in the neighboring ten miles would be willing to marry me? I don’t want to be ridiculed anymore, I need to go to Kyoto."
Lin Fengying frowned, "If you insist on going, find your own way. I don’t have money for you. Your eldest brother doesn’t give me money now, and I can’t have any."
