Chapter 141. Smooth talker
"There’s really no need, I already have enough clothes. On the other hand, Grandma and Mom should make a few more for themselves, look, there are patches on yours," Hua Jinjiao said as she reached out and hugged Grandma Hua and Madam Qi, pouting while touching the patches on their clothes.
"Silly child, your mom and I have new clothes. These aren’t old, just with some patches. They’re better than most in the village, who have patch upon patch. These clothes are for working in, anyways. Wearing new clothes in the fields would just dirty them. And how did making new clothes for you end up about us two old folks? You’re such a sly girl."
Grandma Hua clearly understood her granddaughter’s intentions. But at her age, with not many days left, what’s the need for so many new clothes? It would be better for her daughter-in-law to make more for herself.
"Grandma... Grandma, am I wrong?" Hua Jinjiao protested, burrowing into Grandma’s arms, playfully acting spoiled, knowing this always leaves her grandma helpless.
Her mom too, because she is their most precious child.
"Alright... alright, you’re right. In the future, clothes will be made, will be made." Looking at her granddaughter squirming like a little worm in her arms, Grandma Hua surrendered immediately, having no other choice.
"That’s more like it," Hua Jinjiao said, retracting her clingy demeanor, her face immediately lighting up with a smile.
"Grandma, think about it, earning money is to make our lives better, isn’t it? Life is short, after all, if we never care for ourselves, what’s the point of living? Living a whole life, isn’t it frustrating? Besides, now we’re not short of a few pieces of clothes’ worth of money. Your granddaughter can earn money, and the rabbits at home have been sold several times, with quite a bit of income..."
Saying this, Hua Jinjiao earnestly looked at the two most important women in her life, "Grandma, Mom, listen to me, don’t always think of others. Be selfish for yourselves sometimes. Otherwise, if you don’t mind me wasting Silver Coin, I’ll prepare it personally."
Hua Jinjiao used her trump card. As soon as she finished speaking, her mom and grandma’s expressions changed immediately. Thinking about how this child spends money since she started earning, without hesitation they agreed, nodding.
