Chapter 898: After eating all the bitterness, everything will be sweet from now on!
Isn’t it a case of raising an army to investigate?
This time it was Coral Girl's turn to be surprised.
She seemed unable to believe it, thought for a moment and said, "No, the Fourth Madam is too polite. It's me who should be grateful to General Li. Your government really doesn't need to be like this..."
Mrs. Wen helped to persuade: "Miss Huanhuan, my husband's family name is Wen. The family members want to call me aunt, and I can be regarded as his elder.
“I am accompanying the fourth lady here today, so I don’t have to say a few words. Please don’t mind, girl!
“Perhaps you have never been to Xindu, so you probably don’t know the family tradition of the Li family. Everyone knows that the Li family has accumulated virtues, performed good deeds, and is righteous.
“Not to mention that you saved Jiayi and got injured, even if we meet someone in need of help on the road, our family will not ignore it.
“What’s more, what the girl’s father did is really admirable, and what happened to the girl’s family is even more deplorable.
“The Li family also has business and family property in Quanzhou now, and they have received the protection and favor from your father. Now it is really appropriate to repay him.
"Girl, please don't be reserved. If there is anything we can do, just say it."
Girl Coral looked at Tao Hongying and Mrs. Wen carefully, and saw that their expressions were full of sincerity and compassion, and they did not look like they were pretending to test.
For some reason, her originally straight back suddenly fell down.
She wanted to speak, but her voice was choked and she couldn't make a sound.
When my father was alive, many people were helped by his father, and there were often relatives and friends walking around the house, which was extremely lively.
But after her father passed away and the whole family was killed, and she was the only one left, not only did no one lend a helping hand, but she was stigmatized as a "restraint".
It can be said that overnight, she changed from the little daughter doted on by the whole family to an "orphan" despised by everyone!
She cried and cursed, but it was no use!
Finally, she risked her life to avenge her family.
When she saw that her success was in vain, General Li appeared in front of her like a **** and helped her kill the enemy!
At that moment, he took root in her heart, as if he had returned to the world from hell.
She suddenly wanted to live and didn't want to let him down and risk his rescue!
But the reality is too cruel. She came ashore alive, but she faced more rumors and more strange eyes...
She could only put away all her thoughts, hide in the wounded barracks, recuperate from her injuries, do whatever work she could, and live in silence...
But today, the Li family came to her door, and she was prepared to be beaten and scolded. After all, she was the one who caused General Li to be criticized.
Unexpectedly, the Li family wanted to thank her and help her...
Is this a dream?
Tao Hongying and Mrs. Wen both had daughters. They were heartbroken when they saw the coral girl with her eyes wide open and tears falling, but she was stubborn and refused to utter a whimper.
Tao Hongying sat directly on the bed, held Miss Coral's hand, and whispered comfort.
“Girl Coral, don’t cry! The difficulties in your life are over. Once you have finished the hardships, everything will be sweet in the future.”
Color was greedy for the warmth of Tao Hongying's palm, and her tears fell even more quickly.
After a long while, she tried her best to wipe away her tears, stood up and bowed to Tao Hongying and Mrs. Wen to thank them.
“Madams, thank you for treating me well, and thank you even more for your kindness.
“But I still say the same thing, General Li saved my life, I can’t thank you enough.
“I have hands and feet. I can survive no matter what I do in the future. I don’t need help.
“Besides, I...there are too many rumors about me. If you are close to me, it will easily bring down General Li and your house and be criticized...
"Even though there are too many people here, I would like to ask the ladies not to come here anymore. Whenever a young lady can do her best, just send the maid at home to call her."
Tao Hongying still wanted to speak, but Mrs. Wen pulled her back and shook her head gently.
Tao Hongying sighed, thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Miss Huanhuan, since you have considerations, we have to respect it, but you can't let us go in vain today."
As she spoke, she pointed to Sister-in-law Qiong standing at the door.
Sister-in-law Qiong held a carved wooden box in her hand. The box contained a set of gold jewelry and one hundred taels of silver.
She added, "We originally prepared some jewelry and gold and silver at home, but you must not be willing to accept them. "In this way, I will ask someone to send you some daily necessities in a while, which are not expensive but practical. Please ask the girl not to refuse again, okay?
"After all, you are recuperating now. If you have better food and housing, you can get better and find a better way out."
Coral hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse anymore, and bowed and thanked him again.
“Thank you madam for taking care of me. I hope that the little girl will have the opportunity to repay madam and the Li family for their great kindness.”
Tao Hongying sighed, patted her on the shoulder, and then walked out with Mrs. Wen.
Xia Qing's mouth went dry talking to the women, so she quickly stepped forward and stood next to Sister-in-law Qiong.
Soon, Jiayi also got the news.
He couldn't help but look at his aunt's face, but unfortunately he didn't see anything, so he could only lead the way.
But he couldn't help it and turned around to look at Coral Girl...
Mrs. Wen happened to see it, but she held Sister-in-law Qiong's hand and said nothing...
Seeing them walking away, the women rushed to the coral like a swarm, asking questions.
“Girl Coral, what does General Li’s family mean? Do they want to marry you as their second wife?”
"How much do they give as a bride price? Things will get better in the future. You will definitely not have to live in a tent."
Color frowned slightly and said to everyone: "I am very grateful that my sisters-in-law care about me, but please don't say this again in the future!
“General Li saved my life, and I can’t even thank him enough, so I don’t want to drag him down and ruin his reputation for innocence.
“Mrs. Li’s visit today is because she admires my father, so she came to visit me specifically to help me. She has no other intention.
“It’s hard for me to survive now, and I don’t want to talk about marriage.
“But if my sisters-in-law have any good jobs in the future, you can introduce them to me.”
The women were very disappointed and wanted to ask again, but seeing how pale Coral's face was, they couldn't bear it.
So they stopped gossiping and asked her to go back to the tent to rest...
It is hard to describe how complicated Coral's heart was when she was sitting on the bed.
It is only said that Mrs. Li and others were at home, scratching their necks in anticipation. After finally looking forward to the return of Tao Hongying and Mrs. Wen, she couldn't help but rush forward to greet them.
Mrs. Li kept asking, "How's it going? Is that girl okay?"
Tao Hongying and Mrs. Wen looked at each other and sighed.
"What, the girl is not good?" Mrs. Li asked impatiently, "You can tell me, what is bad about her? Is she bad in appearance or bad in conduct?"
Tao Hongying replied: "Mom, she is such a good girl. She is tall, has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and black hair. She is very beautiful and heroic.
“And the place he lives in is simple and clean, so he has a strong temper.
“The most important thing is that my grandma taught me the rules at home since I was a child, so I speak and behave very well.”
“Oh, seriously? That’s great!” Old Mrs. Li couldn’t help laughing: “Jiayi, that brat, is very lucky.
“I was worried about him, but I didn’t expect him to save a good girl!”
Mrs. Wen was afraid that if the old lady continued talking, she would start talking about the marriage, so she quickly said: "Auntie, we didn't mention anything about getting married to the girl this time.
“It’s true that this girl has suffered a lot in the past and has seen all the warmth and coldness of people, so she is very defensive and has a strong temperament.
“She began to think that Hongying and I were going to investigate, and she was afraid that she would bother Jiayi, so she repeatedly promised not to harm our family.
“Later I heard that we were going to visit her and wanted to help her, but she still refused to accept it. She even refused to accept the thank-you gift prepared by our family..."
