961 Still a chance " Then I will have to thank you," Yu Le told Chen Mi who simply smiled back and then turned to look at Li Yuya and asked, " Would you like to try some scrambled eggs with tomatoes? You will like it very much, I will make them light and fluffy for your stomach."
Li Yuya's eyes widened when she heard that Chen Mi was willing to share eggs with her, she turned to look at her father but did not answer. She couldn't be blamed for reacting like this, ever since she was born, Li Yuya was deemed as a jinx by his second daddy. He hated and despised her and caused the entire family including her mother to hate her—— ever since then she was not allowed to even eat rice much less eggs.
There was one time her father fell sick and she tried to steal eggs from the coop for her father. She was of course caught by Min Yan and then he hit her until her back started to bleed, his excuse was that if she wasn't taught a lesson then other than becoming a jinx, she will also become a thief.
Li Yuya was not a thief, she only wanted to give some nourishing food to her father who was sick. Many times she tried to explain but no one listened to her and thus Li Yuya stopped explaining herself, if she was a thief in the eyes of others then she was willing to be one without a care.

However, she never forgot what happened to her the last time she wanted to eat eggs.
" Hah? You want to eat eggs?" Old Master Li looked at his eldest granddaughter with disgust in his eyes and then instead of handing her an egg, he slapped her so hard that she fell on the ground. Her mouth started to bleed as she looked at her grandfather in shock and disbelief. ". A jinx wants to eat pearl? Why don't you piss and look at that ugly face of yours? Ever since you were born in this family nothing went all right, your aunt failed the exams one after another and your daddy Min cannot keep a child without miscarrying! And you have the audacity to eat eggs?"
As he spoke he raised his foot and kicked her on the head sending her flying which caused her head to bash against the stone grinder which was sitting next to the wall of the kitchen.
" Get lost, if you dare even utter the word eggs I will rip your mouth and then sew it up! Don't you dare look at anything that belongs to this family, it's not for you! What a sin! Why didn't you die already?" Old Master Li cursed as he spat on the ground before taking the eggs to his third daughter who was busy studying.
As Li Yuya stepped out of the kitchen, she saw everyone getting a share of the boiled eggs even Min Yan, that evil mer got one to eat and only she and her father was the one who did not have one to eat. At that time she questioned whether she was hated because she tried to eat eggs when she was nothing but a jinx or was she hated because she and her father were never considered to be a member of the Li family.
Back to the present, Li Yuya hugged her father and did not say anything. She was afraid that if she was to say that she wanted to eat eggs, she will be hated in this house as well because she was still a jinx. If something happened to Chen Mi when he was cooking eggs for her—— what will happen to her and her father? Will they kick out of this house as well? She did not want to go out in the cold again.
When Yu Le saw his daughter huddle close, his eyes turned red with grief. He knew how badly his daughter was treated at the Li house just because she said that she wanted to eat eggs. He still could not forget the wounds that his daughter received on her back when she tried to pick one egg for him because he was sick.
Back then Min Yan accused his daughter of being a thief but he always wanted to ask how Li Yuya was a thief. She was the daughter of the Li family and he was the son-in-law of that very same family, shouldn't they be allowed to take eggs from the coop without the permission of anyone?
However, those things happened in the past and he no longer wanted to question anyone nor did he wish to bring the matter up and scrape their wounds. Instead, he wished to treat his daughter as well as he could, he might have separated from his wife but as long as his family supported him and his daughter, he knew that he will be able to survive.

As long as it was work that paid him, he would do anything for his daughter.
Thus as he caressed the slightly coarse hair of his daughter which felt brittle under his palm, he turned to look at Chen Mi and nodded before saying, " Please make a bowl of scrambled eggs for my Yuya."
When he said those words Li Yuya raised her head and looked at him with shock in her eyes.
" Don't worry, Father will treat you well," Yu Le told his daughter as he patted his daughter on the head. In the past he used to work in the fields all day long and yet even after working for all day long, he didn't get a share of the money that the family got after selling the crops grown by him.
However now that he was alone, he could definitely fulfil his daughter's wishes!
" Forget about eggs, I will even let you eat meat and fish."
