Chapter 899: After Suffering, Everything Will Be Sweet!

as expanded outwards. 。Thus, the seventy mu of river beach land is left with about fifty mu. 。The village head and Zhao Shu discussed planting peanuts and sweet potatoes, but while peanut seeds were e...Isn't this a grand display of accusation

Now it was Coral's turn to be surprised.

She seemed unable to believe it, and after a moment of thought, she said: "No, Fourth Madam is being too kind. I am the one who should be grateful to General Li. Your family really doesn't need to do this..."

Mrs. Wen helped persuade: "Miss Coral, my husband's family is surnamed Wen, and according to propriety, you should call me aunt. I am considered his elder."

"Accompanying the four wives today, I couldn't help but say a few words, please don't mind, miss!

"

"You probably haven't been to Xin Du, so you wouldn't know about the Li family's reputation. They are known for their good deeds and righteousness. Everyone knows how virtuous and just they are.

Even if you hadn't saved Jiayi and gotten hurt, we wouldn't turn a blind eye to anyone who needed help on the road.

Moreover, the deeds of the girl's father are truly admirable, and her family's plight is even more lamentable.

The Li family now has a business and property in Quanzhou, thanks to the protection and favor from your father. It is only right that we repay them for their kindness.

"Please, Miss, don't be so reserved. If there's anything we can do to help, just ask."

The Coral Maiden scrutinized Tao Hongying and Mrs. Wen carefully, seeing genuine concern and pity in their expressions. They didn't seem to be feigning inquiry.

For some reason, her normally straight back suddenly slumped.

She wanted to speak, but her voice was choked with emotion and she couldn't make a sound.

When his father was alive, many people received help from him, and their home was often bustling with relatives and friends.

But after her father passed away, the whole family met with misfortune, leaving only her. Not only did no one lend a helping hand, but she was also branded as a "jinx" who brought bad luck to her family.

She went from being the beloved youngest daughter to a scorned "spinster" overnight.

She cried, she raged, but it was all in vain!

Finally, she risked her life and went through great hardship to avenge her family.

Just when she was about to fail, General Li appeared before her like a god, helping her kill her 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, not wanting to disappoint him for risking his life to save her!

But reality was too cruel. Though she managed to survive and make it to shore, she was met with even more rumors and strange looks....

She could only put away all her thoughts, hide in the camp of wounded soldiers, heal her wounds, and do whatever she could to make a living, living in silence...

But today, the Li family came to her door. She was prepared to be scolded, after all, it was because of her that General Li had been the subject of gossip.

Unexpectedly, the Li family was grateful to her and wanted to help her...

Is this a dream

Tao Hongying and Mrs. Wen were both women with daughters. Seeing Coral Girl's big eyes welling up with tears, yet stubbornly refusing to utter a single whimper, they both felt their hearts break for her.

Tao Hongying sat directly on the bed, took Coral Girl's hand, and comforted her softly.

"Coral girl, don't cry! The hardship in your fate has already passed. You've endured the bitterness, and from now on, it will definitely be sweetness."

The coral greedily craved the warmth of Tao Hongying's hand, and tears fell even faster.

After a long while, she wiped away her tears with effort, got up and bowed to Tao Hongying and Mrs. Wen, thanking them.

"Ladies, thank you for your kindness to me, and thank you even more for the hospitality of your home."

But I still say the same thing, General Li saved my life, I am eternally grateful.

"I have hands and feet, and from now on I can live no matter what I do, without needing help."

And, I… there are too many rumors about me. Getting close to me would easily implicate General Li and your esteemed family, causing them to be criticized…

"Even though there are many people here and it's a bit chaotic, please don't come here again in the future. If there's anything this humble servant can do, just have your maidservant come and tell me."

Tao Hongying still wanted to speak, but Wen's wife pulled her back and shook her head gently.

Tao Hongying sighed, thought for a moment, and said, "Well, Coral girl, since you have considerations, we also need to respect that, but you can't let us make a trip for nothing today, right"

As she spoke, she pointed to Qiong's wife standing at the door.

Qiong's daughter held a carved wooden box in her hand. Inside was a set of gold jewelry and an additional one hundred taels of silver.

She went on to say, "Our family had prepared some jewelry and gold and silver, but you probably wouldn't want to accept them.

"Then, I'll have someone bring you some everyday necessities shortly. Nothing extravagant, just practical things. Please don't refuse again, alright"

After all, you're recovering now. If your living conditions are good and you eat well, you can recover completely and find a good way out.

Coral hesitated for a moment, but declined no further, bowing and thanking him once more.

"Thank you, Madam, for your care. I hope that in my lifetime, I will have the opportunity to repay your kindness and that of the Li family."

Tao Hongying sighed and patted her shoulder, then went out with the lady of the same temperature.

Xia Qing hurried forward, as if his throat was parched from talking, and stood next to Qiao's wife.

Soon, Jia Yi also received the news.

He couldn't help but glance at the aunt's face, but unfortunately, he didn't see anything. He could only lead the way ahead.

But he couldn't help himself, he turned back and glanced at the Coral Maiden...

Mrs. Wen happened to see it, but she held onto Qiao's hand without saying a word...

As they walked away, the women rushed to the coral like a swarm of bees, buzzing with questions.

"Coral girl, what does Li General's family mean Are they going to take you as a second wife"

"How much dowry did their family give Things will be much better for you now, you won't have to live in a tent anymore."

Coral frowned slightly and said to the crowd, "I appreciate my sisters-in-law's concern, but please don't say that again in the future!"

"General Li saved my life, I'm so grateful that words can't express it. I don't want to trouble him any further and risk his reputation."

"Mrs. Li came to visit today, she admired my father and wanted to see me. She only wants to help out and has no other intentions."

"My life is hard enough as it is, and I don't want to think about marriage right now.

"

"As for my sisters-in-law, if there are any good jobs available in the future, I'd appreciate it if you could introduce them to me."

The women were very disappointed and wanted to ask further, but seeing Coral's pale face, they also felt a pang of sympathy.

So they took her gossip-loving heart and let her go back to the tent to rest...

Coral sat on the bed, her heart a tangled mess of emotions she couldn't express.

Only Li Laotai and others waited at home, their necks craned in anticipation. Finally, when Tao Hongying and Mrs. Wen returned, they couldn't help but rush forward to greet them.

Li Lao Tai kept asking, "How is it Is the young lady alright"

Tao Hongying and Mrs. Wen looked at each other, both sighing.

"Well then, young lady, what's wrong" Li Laotai was getting flustered and pressed for an answer. "Come on, tell me! What exactly is it Is it your appearance, or perhaps your character"

Tao Hongying replied, “Mother, the young lady is truly a good girl. She is tall and slender, with thick eyebrows, large eyes, and black hair. She is very beautiful and spirited.”

And although the dwelling was humble, it was kept very clean. It belonged to a strong-willed person.

"The most important thing is that I was taught manners from a young age by my grandmother. I always speak and act properly."

"Oh, really That's wonderful!" Old Lady Li couldn't help but smile. "This good-for-nothing boy Jiayi is lucky."

"I was still worrying about him, and now I hear he saved someone just by chance! What a good girl!"

Feeling worried that the old woman would keep talking, Wen Fu hurried to interject, "Aunt, on our trip there, we didn't even mention marriage to the young lady."

"She had clearly suffered a lot in the past, witnessed the coldness of human nature, so she was guarded and too strong-willed. "

She initially thought that I and Hung-ying were there to confront her, fearing she would cling to Jia-yi. She repeatedly assured me that we wouldn't implicate our family.

"Later on, I heard that we went to visit her, wanting to help her, but she still refused. She even wouldn't accept the gifts our family prepared..." the carriage, Tao Hongying figured out the twists and turns within. She unconsciously straightened her back and secretly pondered how to slowly find a few talented apprentices and pass on her secret...
