Chapter 391: Boiling Soup (2)
The woman nodded after hearing this but then shook her head again . After a long time, she stopped crying .
“We really can’t accept this money!”
“Why?”
The woman wiped her tears and said, “The old man says that our hearts may change easily from becoming wealthy overnight . Therefore, 100 silvers is the limit! Plus, you also promised to get revenge for us! We really can’t accept this money!”
Gong Yimo couldn’t help but sigh with feelings . “Your old man is a smart one . ”
She pulled her crying daughter over to the table and glanced at the food in front of them . She still couldn’t help but cry .
Normally, they wouldn’t have such a rich and sumptuous dinner, but the old man swore that he would earn 100 silvers together! That’s why she made the decision to cook all of this . She thought that even if he didn’t earn 100 silvers, it was ok . Normally, they would be drinking porridge .
But now, they would be having a celebratory dinner that they wouldn’t even eat during the New Year’s . In the future, they wouldn’t need to worry about clothes and food, but the old man wasn’t there anymore!
Seeing that the two didn’t move, Gong Yimo grabbed a pair of chopsticks and placed food on the empty bowl where the old man would’ve been sitting .
“Treat it as a banquet sending him off . You guys… don’t you guys want to have the last meal with him?”

“Eat! Eat, eat . We’ll eat…”
The woman wiped her tears again and then did the same for her daughter . She really then started to eat .
However, the daughter angrily glared at Gong Yimo . With a hoarse voice, she said, “It’s all your fault! If it weren’t for you, my father wouldn’t have died! Give my father back!”
She threw the chopsticks at Gong Yimo, but the woman stopped her!
“Did you forget what your father said to you?!” The woman scolded harshly and she glared at the daughter with red swollen eyes . Deep down, however, she was in immense pain and mourning .
The young girl knew that her mother was referring to how her father said that he most likely would die in the mountains one day . If that day really comes, they should not be too sad for him . For a moment, she was boiling with age and she ran back into her room!
The woman wanted to call out, but she didn’t have the energy to, so she kept her head down . She ate without really tasting . These dishes… were all the old man’s favorite… but this morning, she only fed the old man porridge . She wondered if he would starve on his way to the underworld .

Gong Yimo kept her head down and ate, not knowing how rare this meal was . The old man didn’t get a chance to eat it… what a pity…
While considering this, she fished out another banknote from her sleeves .
“I know money can’t buy someone’s life . People… according to your traditions, I buried him in the mountains, but I didn’t set a memorial table for him . The money here… I hope will make your lives better because on the way over, he had been ranting and worrying about you guys . ”
After hearing this, the woman cried again . She pushed the money again and angrily said, “Many thanks to the young master for burying him . I just want to know how my old man died!”
Gong Yimo didn’t hide this since they had the right to know . However, after hearing this, the woman couldn’t hold it in anymore and sobbed out loud!

“It’s all my fault! It’s all my fault! If I didn’t keep on complaining about how my back hurts and how unwilling I am to work, the old man wouldn’t be killed over some grass! It’s all my fault!”
Gong Yimo lowered her voice and said, “It’s not your fault . I will get revenge for you guys!”
The woman heard this and hurriedly looked up at her .
Gong Yimo said, “I only chopped two of her fingers off this time, but next time, I will take her life . Therefore, don’t cry anymore . ”
As she said this, she personally poured a bowl of soup for the woman .
The woman took a sip while holding in her tears and choking out, “Why… is this soup sweet?”
Gong Yimo also took a sip and squinted her eyes, saying, “Because life is not always bitter . You guys have been working hard all your lives, so it’s time for it to be sweet . ”
