Chapter 13: She's Going to Sew Purses?
"I think you can work now. Let's go to town and get more purses. I'll teach you how to do it when we get back," Liu Shi said with a smile.
Lin Xiaoyue's hands trembled when she heard that.
"No, mom. I'm not suitable for this..." in her previous life, when she was in university, she saw her roommate making cross-stitch. The shop gave her a small one, and her roommate gave it to her out of curiosity.
In the end, she had only been working on it for half a day before she threw it aside.
She was busy working to earn money to support herself, so how could she have the free time to do embroidery. Moreover, the process was very slow, and it was not suitable for someone as impatient as her.
Liu Shi paused.
"Why not? After learning this skill, when you marry into your husband's family, they will take care of you more." As she said this, she held her daughter's hand again.
When Lin Xiaoyue heard this, she quickly looked at her mother.
"Marry? Marry who? Dad asked me to come back to take care of you and Xiaozhi!"
Seeing Liu Shi's frown, Lin Xiaoyue quickly said, "Mom, are you willing to let Yue'er leave you?"
Liu Shi's heart softened.
Then she sighed, "You are already fifteen. You have to consider these things."
In the past, her daughter was not smart enough. If she married her off, she might not end up in a good family. In order to prevent her daughter from suffering, she would rather keep her by her side.
But now it was different. Her daughter was awake. As a mother, she could not be selfish and ruin her daughter's happiness.
"Fifteen is still young." Lin Xiaoyue acted coquettishly and cursed in her heart at the same time.
In the 21st century, she would be twenty-three years old when she graduated from university. The minimum age for marriage for a woman was twenty years old. In ancient times, a woman could get married at 15 years old.
15 years old! In the 21st century, she would still be a student in high school!
Seeing the disapproval in her mother's eyes, Lin Xiaoyue quickly said, "At most, you could find a live-in husband for me. Anyway, I won't leave you!"
Liu Shi paused.
"Little girl, what nonsense are you thinking about?" She smiled and finally stopped talking about this topic.
Well, her daughter had just woken up. It was okay to delay the wedding a little bit. She had to first think of a way to save up some dowry for her daughter.
Lin Xiaoyue acted coquettishly with Liu Shi and didn't continue to discuss the topic of earning money.
The point was that she hadn't gone to the town yet, so she didn't have any ideas.
"Well, it's still early. I will sew some purses for a while. I'll make lunch for you guys when it's time." Thinking of going to town tomorrow, Liu Shi decided to make the best use of her time.
Lin Xiaoyue looked outside the house.
It was only about ten o'clock in the morning, and there were still two hours before lunch time.
Thinking of something, Lin Xiaoyue looked at Liu Shi. "Then, please look after Xiaozhi. I'll go out for a walk."
Xiaozhi was different from other children. Because she used to be a dumb elder sister, all the children in the village bullied her.
As time went on, he also stopped playing with those children and became very quiet and reserved.
"Where are you going?" Liu Shi frowned.
"Eh, it's stuffy at home. I'm just going out for a walk. Don't worry, I'll be back before dinner!" Lin Xiaoyue promised.
Remembering that her daughter had just woken up and was curious about outside, Liu Shi waved at her daughter.
"Go ahead!"
"Alright!" Lin Xiaoyue immediately gave the little brother in her arms to Liu Shi. Then, she ran away.
Liu Shi grabbed her youngest son and shook her head helplessly with a smile.
She was already a big girl, yet she was still acting like a child…
