Chapter 1203 - 380 Teaching the Girl, A Great Harvest_2
The more she calculated, the more she felt it was not worth it. Xin Er’s eyes shone fiercely as she glared at the embroidery in her hands, beginning to question her life decisions.
The sight provoked another round of laughter from everyone. Mo Yan reached out to pinch his sister’s puffed-up little face, saying, "Had I known you learned embroidery from Aunt Li just to earn silver, I’d rather have taught you to recognize herbs and taken you to the mountains to gather them every day."
"Who says I did it for the silver?" Xin Er immediately retorted, giving her sister a look that said "you don’t understand me": "I simply love embroidery, the colorful patterns, that’s why I decided to follow Aunt Li to learn, otherwise, I would’ve given up long ago."
A hint of amusement flashed in Mo Yan’s eyes, but her face showed struggle as she said, "If that’s the case, then why do you complain about earning too little silver? After all, you learned it for the silver, didn’t you?"
Xin Er was momentarily at a loss for words, not knowing how to counter; she truly did feel it was not worth it because of the meager amount of silver.
Mo Yan patted her sister’s head, declaring sagely with an air of pretense, "Never forget why you started!"
But Xin Er took those words to heart, reflecting as she looked at the embroidery in her hands, a flash of determination in her eyes.
"Remember, it would be best to finish the screen in two months. But don’t stay up late and burn the midnight oil; be careful with your eyes," Mo Yan reminded her. This girl spent every day, aside from eating and sleeping, focused on embroidering the screen, often with swollen eyes, clearly working on it even at night.
Working quickly with her needle and thread, Xin Er, without raising her head, said, "Father’s big celebration is in two more months. I need to finish it and make it into a screen ahead of time, otherwise, the past few months’ efforts will all be in vain."
