053: The play is over
Mrs. Qin saw the look of enlightenment on Chang Xi's face, and a smile appeared on her haggard face, and she felt even more satisfied with Chang Xi's moral character.
No matter how thick-skinned Chang Xi is, she can't help but feel a little ashamed. She was really doing it for the benefit when she helped Qin. However, when things happened later, she forgot about it. She didn't expect that Qin actually returned the favor.
Remembered.
It's just that the rich lady is really generous with her purchase. A set of rubies is not worth much at face value. Unfortunately, the jewelry that cannot be cashed out at the moment is of little use to her. What she needs most now is cash.
There was once a thousand taels of silver placed in front of her, but she didn't take it. Now her heart bleeds when she thinks about it.
"Madam, why are you so embarrassed? Besides, I was just giving you a hand, so I don't expect Madam to thank you so much. I really can't help it..."
Seeing Chang Xi's refusal, Mrs. Qin advised: "You deserve this, don't be embarrassed."
Chang Xi repeatedly refused, but Qin asked her to accept it.
The play was over again. Chang Xi looked at Mrs. Qin with an embarrassed look on her face and said, "Madam, your thank you gift is so generous. I...I will always go back in the future. I am just a market woman. How can I do that?"
Do you need such valuable jewelry? This gave me, but I still have to guard against thieves. As you know, my godmother died like this. I still feel scared when I think about it..."
She took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears, looking sad.
Mrs. Qin was stunned. She really hadn't thought about this. After all, to her, wouldn't giving money directly to someone be an insult? Giving valuables would save the face of both parties.
But does what Chang Xi say make sense?
Mrs. Qin thought about it and realized that it made sense. She was just a phantom wife, and she would be released when the time limit was up. After thinking about it, she patted Chang Xi's hand comfortingly, "It's because I didn't think well.
I just thought that who in my daughter's family wouldn't like a beautiful head and face? I didn't expect that your situation would arouse your sadness. It's not my fault..."
"Madam, please stop saying that. It's not Madam's fault, but it's me... With such an origin..." Chang Xi said hurriedly, and then she looked sad when she mentioned her background.
Mrs. Qin mostly saw the sweet side of Chang Xi, or she looked as sad as before. Now seeing her dim eyes, she couldn't help but feel a little sympathy, "You can't change your background, but you can change your situation.
Even if you return home in the future, I will give you a blessing."
She thought that if she gave Chang Xi a little more money, for the sake of money, her mother-in-law and husband would not embarrass her too much.
Chang Xi understood Qin's words and understood Qin's thoughts, so she said with a wry smile, "Madam, you don't know. My mother-in-law is used to making things difficult for others. She will cause trouble even if she doesn't have any problem. As for
My husband is a frequent visitor at the gambling table, the kind who spends too much money. I am also unlucky to end up with a mother and son like this. What am I doing by saying this? I don’t want to taint my wife’s ears.
.”
Regarding Chang's situation, Qin had a clear idea. When she decided to marry her into the house, she had already investigated it clearly. However, she didn't know the person at the time, so she just let it go after hearing about it. She didn't like it at all. Now with
Chang Xi was already acquainted with her, so naturally she felt sorry for her mistreatment.
"Then what should we do? Otherwise, I will postpone sending you back then..."
"It can be delayed for a while, but it cannot be delayed forever."
Mrs. Qin sighed, Chang Xi's words were reasonable, she couldn't keep holding on to someone, it didn't make sense.
She had been feeling restless recently. After hearing Chang's tragic past, she rarely felt pity, so she sighed and said, "It's really not appropriate to give you a ruby head and face. Let's do this. I'll give you five hundred taels of silver notes.
"Afraid that Chang Xi wouldn't know what a banknote was, she explained, "That's a banknote issued by Chase Bank. It's small and easy to store. You can redeem it whenever you want to use it. It's perfect for you.
"
When Chang Xi heard the words Datong Bank, her eyes couldn't help but light up. Although she knew that there were already prototype banks in this era, she had never seen what a bank note looked like until now.
When Jiefu gave the Xu family's mother and son a loan, the Xu family's mother and son wanted cash and refused to take the flimsy silver notes.
After listening to the instructions, the maid next to Qin went to get five hundred taels of silver notes.
"Madam, this... is too much..."
Mrs. Qin thrust five one-hundred-tael silver notes into Chang Xi's hand, and said with a serious face: "Here, I can only feel at ease if you accept this gift of thanks. I never owe anyone a favor.
"
Chang Xi looked at the banknote stuffed in her hand. This banknote was indeed not as valuable as cash. However, when she saw the amount on it, she felt that this banknote was cuter. At least it did not take up space and was not expensive.
What a strong hand. When she thought about the weight of five hundred taels of silver, she immediately frowned.
Seeing Chang Xi's expression, Mrs. Qin had a serious misunderstanding of Chang Xi who was not greedy for money. She just felt that the woman in front of her was good in everything except her birth background.
After a long while, Chang Xi bowed sheepishly and said, "Since Madam has given you a gift, I will be disrespectful."
Mrs. Qin waved her hand, saying this was just a trivial matter and there was no need to take it to heart at all.
Chang Xi took advantage of the fact that Mrs. Qin was rarely so easy to talk to, and took the opportunity to repeat what Mr. Jie Si had said about allowing her to enter and leave the Jie Mansion freely. Then she saluted again and said, "Madam, I have an uninvited invitation."
Mrs. Qin had never thought about this before, but now that she heard it again, she couldn't help but frown. Seeing Chang Xi's respectful posture, she immediately said in confusion, "You said it."
Chang Xi told her about her plans to start a small business. After all, she would have to stay in Jie Mansion for a while. Rather than letting Qin know about it from other people in the future, it would be better for her to tell the truth in advance to save Qin from having to deal with it in the future.
If there is a big turmoil, Mr. Jie Si may go back on his word.
Mrs. Qin was not very happy. Chang Xi also wanted to give birth to a grandson for her. How could she go out and show her face?
Chang Xi said with a sincere face, "Madam said before that she would give me a fortune, so just think of it as a gift to me."
