Uncle Li laughed loudly, "It doesn't matter, I will go to Renxintang to see you in the future when I miss you."

Shen Qing turned back and walked three steps at a time.

The uncles on the pier were a little sighed, "This kid is lucky!"

When Shen Qing came home, the family was eating.

Seeing him coming back, Gu Lian said, "Go and serve the meal yourself."

Shen Qing shook her head, "I've eaten it."

He excitedly said again, "I went to Renxintang to eat chicken thighs today."

"Sister Jiao clipped it to me."

Gu Mei was silent for a while, and lowered his head.

Gu Lian frowned, "Did you go to Renxintang for dinner?"

"Why are you so ignorant! Your father still depends on your sister to take medicine, and you still—"

"Hey, your clothes?"

Shen Qing's lips moved a few times, "Sister Jiao bought it for me."

"I--"

"Sister Jiao asked me to be an apprentice in her shop."

"Said you would give me eight coins a month."

Gu Lian and Shen Dahe, who was not breathing for a while, looked at each other, and both saw surprises in each other's eyes.

The son was in his teens. When he was young, he was the only child. The two of them also placed infinite hopes on him. At the age of six, they let him succeed, hoping to take the imperial examinations in the future.

Since Shen Dahe has asthma, his family has no source of income, let alone school, and eating has become a problem.

They also didn't think about what their son could do in the future, maybe resist the bag for a lifetime?

Now suddenly there is a way before them.

Shen Dahe was so excited that he gasped again, "That's great, Qing'er, you can study hard with your cousin, and maybe you can become a pharmacy shopkeeper in the future."

Gu Lian also smiled, but there was some worry in her eyes.

When Shen Qing went back to the house, she said to Shen Dahe, "This apprentice should have no wages for three years..."

Shen Dahe nodded slightly, "It's the niece who sees the difficulties at home, so help us."

"When I get better, I'll do more work, so I don't need this salary. Let's pay back what we owe to our niece."

He didn't dare to say that if he didn't need wages now, the family could not survive with two women doing laundry alone.

This is the city, and there is no land at home. You have to buy food and everything, and you have to spend money everywhere.

Gu Lian nodded, "Okay."

Gu Mei's head lowered.

Speaking of debt, she still owes Gu Yunjiao five hundred taels of silver.

Even if she sold her, she couldn't sell it for so much money. Will she be able to pay off this debt in her lifetime?

She knew that Gu Yunjiao never wanted her to pay it back, but she herself would have a heavy burden on her heart.

Thinking of this, she laughed at herself. She still has her father's blood on her body. If she is really as selfish and cold as Li's, then she can feel at ease now.

She remembered her rebirth, and told Gu Chuan not to follow her mother, because she sold him.

She remembered that she had quarreled with Gu Yunjiao, but reminded her to be careful of Chen's marrying her out.

She knows that she can't be a good person, but she can't be a pure bad person. This may be the greatest tragedy in life.

Gu Lian saw that Gu Mei's mood was getting lower and lower.

After eating, Gu Mei got up to clean up, Gu Lian quickly pushed her, "Go and rest, I'll wash a few bowls in two."

She paused, "In the future, your uncle won't need to spend money on medicine, and our lives will be better."

"My aunt's family is poor, and I've wronged you."

Gu Mei bit her lip and went in, look, that's it.

It was these few words that made her feel uncomfortable again. She would rather that the people around her treat her like her mother, then she would live easier.
