Chapter 231 If You Do It, Do It Thoroughly
Auntie Yao, gasping angrily, continued to curse, "Even if you’ve returned to the city and had a few meals of fine white flour, I think you’ve lost your senses. Daring to spout nonsense like that, I won’t let you live, you lazy girl who does nothing but eat all day."
Wu Peiling really put her back into it, beating Yao Lili who had no strength to fight back, and said, "What I gave her was to save her life. If she wants to repay, it has to be with something good. Where did I go wrong?"
The neighbors nearby, hearing Yao Lili’s words, began to look at her with strange eyes, thinking that they couldn’t deal with this eldest daughter of the Yao family in the future, for she was really too calculative.
Luo Qiao, seeing that the beating was almost done, stepped forward to stop Auntie Yao, "Auntie, don’t beat her anymore. If you hurt Li Li badly, I would be too ashamed to ever set foot in your house again."
Yao Lili, seeing Luo Qiao holding back her mother, steeled her heart and said, "Luo Qiao, it’s true, all you had at the farm was cornmeal porridge, but at that time, it was life-saving grain too. Do you admit to that?"
Luo Qiao replied, "Yes, I admit, even if it was a watery vegetable porridge that was so thin you could see shadows in it, it saved my life. You’re right about that."
Yao Lili continued, "Since you said you wanted to repay, you should repay double to show your sincerity."
Luo Qiao nodded again, indicating she agreed with those words.
