Chapter 230: Chapter 230 Clearing Up, Delusional Disorder

Yao Lili looked at her mother and said, "Mom, you’re not unaware of our family’s situation. With only my dad and brother working to support so many of us, it’s hard enough without mentioning that my brother is still a temporary worker at the pharmaceutical factory.

Now that Luo Qiao has the ability to repay the kindness we showed her over the years, why should we refuse? If you won’t consider others, at least think about your younger brother and sister."

Wu Peiling stood there, really not knowing what to say. Her daughter was speaking the truth, but back at the farm, Luo Qiao hardly ever ate at their home. Yet this wretched girl now wanted to take her money and food.

The onlookers nearby burst into laughter upon hearing Yao Lili’s words, "She’s the one who’s been pressing others to repay their kindness, and now she says they have the ability to repay. I never expected Yao Family’s daughter to be such a person."

"Yeah, I really didn’t expect her to be so petty, having not interacted with her much before."

"Neither Yao Chengxuan nor his wife are like this. How did they end up with someone as unusual as Yao Lili?"

"I guess she’s heard that Luo Qiao has money now and is eyeing it, what else could it be for?"

Luo Qiao had been holding on tight to Wu Peiling to stop her from hitting Yao Lili. Wu Peiling knew Luo Qiao probably wanted to settle accounts clearly, but anyone being accused to their face like this wouldn’t be happy.

Then Luo Qiao said, "You tell me, how much grain would be fair?"

Yao Lili replied, "Calculate it at two meals per month, that’s twenty-four meals a year. Over fifteen years, that’s three hundred and sixty meals. I won’t charge you any more than that."

While Luo Qiao wasn’t short of food or money, she wasn’t about to let Yao Lili think she was an easy mark to be exploited.

In a soft voice, Luo Qiao said, "Fifteen years, I recall my adoptive grandmother saying you came to where I was when I was four years old. Do you mean to say you provided meals during those four years too?"

It was then that Yao Lili remembered, indeed, she just recalled that Luo Qiao’s younger sister was the same age as their own little sister, forgetting that her little sister had already been four when they arrived at the farm. Seeing the mocking expressions on some of the neighbors’ faces,

she said somewhat unnaturally, "Let’s just calculate it for eleven years then. It’s not a big deal."

Someone muttered softly, "The Yao Family’s daughter sure knows how to talk. If no one had pointed it out, she would’ve charged for an extra four years of meals, but when called out, she says it’s no big deal."

Wu Peiling had been struggling all this time to get Luo Qiao to let her go, but Luo Qiao couldn’t let Auntie Yao interfere and stifle the matter, knowing she couldn’t stand such pressure.

It was better to settle this now. Yao Lili clearly wasn’t going to be easy to deal with, and Luo Qiao had no wish to be further entangled with someone like her.

Luo Qiao whispered to Wu Peiling, "Auntie, Lili and I have made our positions clear today, so please don’t get involved anymore. You know my temperament too—if you interfere, it means we won’t interact in the future.

If I’m to come visit you and Uncle Yao later, this issue is unavoidable. But I don’t want it to be brought up every time irrespective of the occasion, so it’s necessary that we resolve this matter today. I hope you’ll understand."

After Luo Qiao said this, Wu Peiling’s eyes reddened, and she nodded slightly. She then glared fiercely at her eldest daughter, wondering how they could have given birth to such a selfish and shameless girl.

Luo Qiao then turned to Yao Lili and asked, "So, how much grain or money do you think is appropriate compensation for those eleven years?"

Yao Lili had originally thought of grain, since they still couldn’t eat their fill every day at home, but considering she was looking for a job and needed money for various reasons, she said, "Then give money instead."

Luo Qiao nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, then you tell me, how much should I give you for those eleven years?"

After thinking, Yao Lili said, "White flour now costs 1.7 yuan per jin, and if we calculate two meals a month as one jin, that’s twelve jin a year. Over eleven years, that’s one hundred and thirty-two jin."

Luo Qiao suddenly laughed. It wasn’t that she couldn’t afford it, but Yao Lili clearly thought she could take her for a ride. Just then, Wu Peiling finally exploded.

She rushed over and punched Yao Lili, "Have you gone mad? How many meals of white flour have we had on the farm? You really have the nerve to ask for half a jin per meal; you’ve got quite the gall."
