Chapter 165 The marriage is not her own (3)
"How many times have I told you? They are no longer your parents, why bother with them? When were they really sick? They just ran out of money and wanted to squeeze something out of you!" Dongmei pulled the ointment angrily , wiped it up for her.
Qiuxiang gasped in pain, but said: "At least give birth to me, without them, there would be no me."
Dongmei wanted to say that you are a bad person, but on second thought, if it wasn't for Qiuxiang's sympathy, she would have been sold to a brothel by that black-hearted couple. Dongmei sighed: "I'm not talking about you, you really don't have to take them too seriously. Sometimes you have to think about yourself. Right now, you can live comfortably with the third lady, but if you don't keep them all, you will be punished one day." The house has been released. If the third lady is a man, with your looks, you can be more or less a roommate. If you get a young mistress with a big heart in the future, you may be able to be an aunt. But she is a young lady and wants to marry The target is not someone like us, sooner or later, you and I will be released from the mansion. Then, what will you do?"
Qiuxiang was lost in thought.
Dongmei continued: "You expect your parents to take you in when you have nowhere else to go? Believe it or not, they will sell you again? Listen to me, don't give them the money so stupidly, keep it for yourself, I will The ones are still there, when the time comes, we will set up a small shop to do business. No need to look at people's faces, and then, let's invite two little maids to serve us!"
Qiu Xiang paused, did not answer her words, but asked, "How much money do you have?"
Dongmei shrank her pupils vigilantly: "Why do you ask this? Did your parents ask you to ask me for money?" She stood up, "I tell you, the relationship between us is our two, and they But it doesn't matter at all, you don't want me to subsidize them a penny!"
Qiuxiang knew this would be the result. She felt that it was a matter of course, but at the same time she was sour. She lowered her head and said, "...not to subsidize them, I... want to borrow some money from you and pay you back later."
"What are you borrowing money for?" Dongmei asked strangely, "They taught you, right? If you can't get it from me, just borrow it, and never pay it back!"
Qiuxiang shook her head: "No, I really need it urgently, please lend me some."
"Then tell me what you want to do first!" Dongmei is stingy, if it wasn't because Qiuxiang was so kind to her, she would have been too prevaricated.
Qiuxiang bit her lip, and said in a difficult way: "You...don't ask, it's not a bad thing anyway, and I'll pay you back after I pay the monthly money."
Dongmei squinted at her, and thought for a while: "Then you have to promise, you are not allowed to use the monthly money to supplement those two black-hearted people!"
"Dongmei, they are my parents, don't talk about them like that." Qiuxiang felt uncomfortable.
Dongmei snorted, "Which father and mother would sell their own daughters? You are the only one who is stupid, and still raise them!" Seeing that Qiuxiang was about to be told to cry by herself, she sighed again, and said, "I can lend you the money, no need Pay it yourself, I'll go directly to Miss San to collect your monthly money."
Qiuxiang hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay."
"How much do you want to borrow?"
"The more the better, lend me everything you have..."
With her back to Qiuxiang, Dongmei opened her small treasury. There were two purses, one black and one red, each twenty taels. Yes, you can take it."
Qiuxiang opened it, looked at it, and asked in surprise, "Where did you get so much money?"
The last time she entered the palace, Concubine Wu felt very sorry for not taking good care of Miss San, so she gave her thirty taels of silver and told her to always speak kind words in Miss San's ears. , and try to speak lightly. She didn't let Miss San know about this. The other twelve is her monthly money. She smiled and said: "When she left the palace, Concubine Wu gave each servant a small red envelope of ten taels of silver. Lian'er, Cui'e, and Juqing all had them. They gave them in private, so don't go out." Said, if the masters find out, they will also suffer."
