Chapter 40: Qiu Mei's Suggestions

As the injury made it worse, Qiu Mei's eyes turned red with anxious eyes. She begged for people from the street, and everyone who could ask for help was asked. She even ran to her father's house, but was poured out by her stepmother's foot wash water.

At the end of his life, Qiu Mei knelt on the street, putting a straw sign on her head and selling herself. She happened to be caught by Madam Wan. She reported to Mrs. Zhang. Madam Wan asked Madam Wan to buy her, but gave her money but let her go back, asking her to wait for her second aunt and cousin to recover from illness.

Cousin Zhou Shuyin's waist quickly recovered, but his second aunt's illness was getting worse day by day. After three or four months, she left without getting up.

Mrs. Zhang asked her and her cousin to help her and her cousin take care of her second aunt's funeral. Her cousin set off for her cousin and returned to her ancestral home in Huzhou. Qiu Mei entered the Li family and then married Li Tong to Suining Bo Mansion.

"If he knew... why bother?" Qiu Mei's voice choked, "When I sold myself, my cousin knew about it, she kept pounding her head against the wall, saying that she was incompetent..."

Qiu Mei's tears flowed down, "I'm... living a good life now, how good! Why bother to make him sad? As long as he is good and he is living well, I... what else is wrong with it?"

"Okay, don't worry." Li Tong looked at Qiu Mei's heart as if she was so sad. She had seen such despair and many times. She loved her cousin, and probably her cousin loved her too, but she and her cousin had no hope in this life.

"Girl, can you send a message to Mr. Ning? If I mean... If I can, please let Mr. Ning persuade my cousin, don't rush to get married now, wait for him to pass the exam...at least a scholar will be released before discussing marriage. It is not too late for a man to marry a wife again if he is thirty or forty. First start a career and then start a family. My cousin will at least be released as a scholar to get married.

The girl didn't know that studying and taking the scholarship and juren was just a pile of money. Now that I have this great grace from a girl, I can support him in school, but if he becomes a family again, he will have a lot of wives and children, how can he raise him? If he supports his family by himself, he will definitely delay his studies. If I were to raise me, I have calculated that I can only offer one, either to raise his wife and children for him or to study for him. But no matter which one is offered, he cannot study..."

Shui Lian and Lu Mei stared at Qiu Mei who was calculating with their fingers. With a few words, Qiu Mei turned the sad and desolate atmosphere just now into laughter and crying with their fingers.

"Okay." Li Tong smiled helplessly and agreed very simply.

"The girl's great kindness..." Qiu Mei stood up and knelt down like a candle.

"No need to do this, you helped me." Li Tong's eyes drooped slightly, "Originally, you and your cousin are such a good couple."

"Miss, don't say that!" Qiu Mei's face turned red and she waved her hand quickly, "I know at least! The wife gave me the silver, and let me go back to serve my second aunt and cousin. She went there for three or four months. The second aunt could pass away with peace of mind. It was the grace of my wife. Even if she was worth the silver, I was like this. The wife would be 400 taels at one's own expense. I knew that I looked better than others, and that's just this advantage. Others, in terms of needlework, thread, needlework, and cooking skills, and I didn't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. If you don't talk about serving people, you can't walk well. When you fall, you'll be pounding and thudding. The whole room is filled with my footsteps. I'm just an empty shell. If you sell it to another family, it's good to give two hundred taels."

Qiu Mei was speaking urgently and quickly, almost breathing in one breath. Shui Lian opened her eyes wide and looked at her and exclaimed: "Qiu Mei, can't you take a breath? I'm so nervous for you!"

"I'm a little... I'm drunk." Qiu Mei was embarrassed by the exclamation of Shui Lian, "I told Madam Wan myself when I was talking to Madam Wan. I'll know if I'm good at this strength and can serve as a madam for the girl. The girl is just like a madam, and she treats people well and says nothing. I'm going to say anything. I'm just holding my anger for the girl. What's wrong with the girl or the wife? Let's see how they treat the girl? How many days have the girl entered the door? That's the matter first."

Qiu Mei pointed to Li Tong's forehead, "Then I took Qingshu, Chunyan and I, and now I want to take Gu Madam again. Is this still a personal one? I used to think that others looked like..."

Shui Lian coughed hard, and Qiu Mei's tongue turned, "My second aunt used to say that if this man was not a thing, then he would really be a thing!"

This time, even Green Plum coughed.

"You two drink tea and gossip. We are talking in the door and talking, how come we have so many things to do?" Li Tong looked at Qiu Mei, "You can't speak like this outside. This mansion is not as good as ours."

"Don't worry, girl, I know."

Qiu Mei's second aunt is a free and easy personality. Qiu Mei is already a free and easy personality. After more than ten years of her second aunt, she has grown up unrestrainedly. Seeing Li Tong's attitude, she suddenly had her eyebrows and eyes, and she was full of vitality, as if she had returned to the past.

"Girl, my aunt is really not a thing. You have to be careful. Men are much worse than women!"

"Qiu Mei!" Shui Lian couldn't help it and slapped Qiu Mei on the shoulder.

"I know." Li Tong slowly exhaled and slowly exhaled the regret that suddenly surged up. Qiu Mei could see it so clearly, but she took it for decades to understand.

"Sometimes, when I slept until midnight, I was there with my eyes wide open and I thought, what should I do if I were a girl?" Qiu Mei didn't care about Shui Lian's slap. She had made up her mind to sell her life to the girl. What are these words!

"Did you think it out?" Li Tong looked at her with a smile.

"No." Qiu Mei replied simply, "If it's a poor family, at most, they can fight and part with each other, and then find someone to marry again. But like the Jiang family and the title, families with titles are both etiquette and national law, alas!" Qiu Mei sighed heavily, she really couldn't think of a solution.

"What are you thinking about in a mess!" Shui Lian couldn't bear it anymore, and this time she slapped Qiu Mei on the head, "The girl just got married, and it's normal for a little bit of difficulty. Isn't it just that the sister-in-law has a difficult situation, and there are a few more concubines? What's the big deal?"

Qiu Mei slanted Shui Lian and rolled her eyes. What she couldn't bear was the son-in-law's attitude towards the girl. What would such a man want him to do?

"Okay," Li Tong smiled, "Qiu Mei goes back and rest, thank you for your hard work today."
