General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 618 True Family Affection and False Family Affection (2)

"How could your boss do this? Why did he only give you 500 coins, while Wang Guoer got 100 taels..."

"No, no, I'll ask the boss myself tomorrow. Isn't this bullying?"

"What do you mean you only take 500 coins as wages? 500 coins is not much money a year! It's not enough for your brother to marry a wife!"

It was like a bomb was ignited instantly and exploded simultaneously in the girls' homes. The girls lowered their heads and listened to their parents' frantic and angry scolding. They questioned angrily, unwilling to accept the cruelty of reality.

But some girls received different treatments. At Liu Qingqing's home, Liu Qingqing spoke to her mother.

"Five hundred coins? That's not bad. Since you want to learn it, then you should study it seriously. Only when you have learned it can it become your own ability." Liu's mother calmly sewed clothes.

"Mom, aren't you angry?" The girl looked at her mother, who didn't seem angry at all and didn't question her.

"Why are you angry? Do you know how much your father earns for a day's work outside? Five hundred coins, not a small amount! Don't be ungrateful!" Liu's mother frowned when she heard her daughter's words.

Afraid that she would not know what was good for her, she immediately gave her some eye drops. "Liu Qingqing, let me tell you that you should work hard and down to earth. Wang Guoer's case is just an exception. The boss made a special exception to help Wang Guoer. Otherwise, Wang Guoer would have no way to survive! Do you understand?"

"Mom, I know." Liu Qingqing looked at her mother.

For the first time, she felt that her mother might not ignore her because she didn't like her, but because her father and brother were tired after a day of work outside, so they left all the good things in the house to them, while they could only drink some thin soup to barely fill their stomachs to get through the day.

"Mom, I only drank thin soup before, why were you so nice to me a few days ago?" Liu Qingqing asked curiously.

"In the past, our family was poor, and our income depended on your father and your brother working hard outside. They did hard work, and they didn't have the energy to eat. We didn't do any hard work at home, so of course we had to take care of them." Mother Liu said slowly, stopping her work and looking at Liu Qingqing. "I know you blame me for being partial, leaving all the good things to your brother."

"But there is only so much food at home, and we have to feed your father and your brother. If we don't save some, we won't even have thin soup to drink. Now you can earn some money yourself. Although it's not much, two hundred coins is what your father and your brother can earn after working for many days. You have to eat well so that you can learn embroidery better. With this skill, when you get married in the future, your in-laws won't dare to give you a hard time." Liu's mother said seriously.

"Pay 100 cents of your monthly allowance to your family, and keep the rest for yourself. When you marry into a good family in the future, you will have your own dowry and won't have to worry about your husband's family's mood to get by." Mother Liu touched Liu Qingqing.

"Qingqing, don't blame your mother for being cruel and making you do so much work since you were young. But you have to know that our family is not like other families. We don't have any land or farmland. It was your father who supported us all by himself for so many years to raise you and your brother. Now he is too old to work anymore. Your brother has been working with your father since he was fourteen. It is because of their hard work that we have not gone hungry."

"Mom, I understand." Liu Qingqing nodded.

"Wang Guoer signing that contract is equivalent to selling her body, but it's a good thing that she signed it, otherwise her parents might sell her to someone else..." Liu's mother sighed, feeling sorry for Wang Guoer's experience.
