Chapter 2828 I Want to Enjoy the Inheritance Rights

Some time before the grand ball, young girls would spend a lot of time on their clothes and jewelry.

This is the situation at Leah's home right now. She and Ellie did not make a big fight, but her mother and little sister were extremely excited. They were running around the house, making everyone feel confused.

After finally dressing up her younger daughter to her satisfaction, the mother turned her attention to her older daughter, who was also naturally beautiful.

Their family had a little money but not much, and as a mother, her biggest wish was to find a good and suitable marriage for her three daughters.

The new neighbor who moved in perfectly met all her fantasies about a son-in-law, so she really hoped that her daughter could charm Mr. Kevin.

"Oh God, it doesn't matter which daughter it is!" The mother clasped her hands together and prayed devoutly.

Liya and Ai Li looked at each other and smiled helplessly in tacit understanding.

This kind of mother's personality has lasted for decades and there is no possibility of changing it, so they have given up.

"Lili, are you reading again?" Otto saw his sister flipping through a book about agriculture and walked over to talk to her. "Don't you need to prepare some clothes for the evening?"

Although Otto did not attach much importance to such a small dance, he knew that all young girls were looking forward to such an event.

Shi Li was not eager to attend the ball. Compared to the flashy ball, she felt that the book about agriculture in her hand was more attractive.

And according to her understanding of the times, if cotton could be planted in large quantities in the next one or two years, huge profits should be obtained.

"Brother, what do you think about us buying some land here to grow cotton?" Shi Li simply stood up and handed the book in his hand to Otto, and talked to him, expressing all his own opinions.

Otto didn't care too much at first, but the more he listened, the more focused he became, and his eyes changed from shock to relief and appreciation.

There were many things his sister said that he had never thought of.

"This is a very good proposal." Otto smiled and touched Shi Li's head, with a proud look on his face. "I will ask someone to organize it, and all the proceeds will be used as your dowry."

Dowry again...

When Shi Li heard this word, she didn't like it very much and couldn't help asking, "If I don't get married, will I not get a dowry?"

The value bestowed on women in this era can only be realized after marriage, which is equivalent to transferring wealth from one man to another.

Otto was slightly stunned, not knowing why his sister suddenly asked such a question, but he still replied: "No, whether you get married or not, these things are yours, completely yours."

In fact, the dowry that her parents left for her sister was not that generous. Otto quietly added more things to the dowry over the years, but he did not specifically tell Shi Li.

It was almost evening when Shi Li changed into a new dress. The cream-colored long dress was matched with pearl hair accessories that were not exaggerated, which perfectly highlighted the girl's gentleness.

Otto was waiting for her at the door. When he saw her appear, he immediately stretched out his hand for her to hold. Kevin stood beside them, and the three of them were ready to go.

They arrived at the party according to the invitation time, but the people here were so enthusiastic that they arrived early.

As soon as the three of them walked in, everyone inside looked over at them, which was enough to make a socially anxious person dig out a two-story villa with his toes in an instant.

Shi Li was a little socially anxious but not too much, and could barely keep smiling in the face of this scene. Fortunately, Liya noticed this carefully and immediately came over first.

"Lili, do you need my help?" She first knelt down and bowed to a few people, then just blinked at Shi Li.

Shi Li really liked her so much that she nodded quickly, and then said to Otto beside her: "Brother, let me talk to Miss Liya for a while."

Then she saw that her brother's eyes were fixed on Liya's face.

It's not easy to finally notice this.

Shi Li thought to herself that she didn’t want to give Liya to her brother now, so she let go of his arm and took Liya’s hand instead.

Kevin kept looking around absentmindedly, and no one knew what he was looking for.

"This is your first time attending a dance like this. I hope you won't feel uncomfortable." Liya pulled Shi Li to a quiet place.

Shi Li shook her head, "No, but this is indeed my first time attending a dance."

Before, Otto thought that the original owner was still young and did not allow her to attend social occasions outside. This was her first time to appear in front of outsiders.

Liya was a little surprised, but then she couldn't help laughing, "I thought your first appearance should be at a grand ball attended by members of the royal family, but I didn't expect it to be here."

"Liya, stop making fun of me all the time." Shi Li patted the back of her hand lightly in annoyance.

Suddenly, she felt as if a different gaze was looking at her, and she immediately followed the gaze.

It turned out to be an acquaintance.
