At the very least, they would find a way to pocket the silver from Qiao Mei'er's servitude contract.
Qiao Mei'er nodded vigorously, "Big Sister, there's another thing, I want to keep all my wages with you and get them from you when I need them."
After all, she ate and lived in the Embroidery Room most of the time and hardly had any need to spend silver.
Even if her parents came, it was useless because she had no silver on her.
"You just have to talk to Fat Aunt about this, let her keep your wages on the account in the Embroidery Room,"
Qiao Duo'er tactfully refused Qiao Mei'er's request, saving both of them a lot of trouble.
Besides, she didn't want to see Qiao Mei'er too much.
Call her petty or stingy if you like, but she felt that those who bullied simpletons were not too kind-hearted, and Qiao Mei'er was one of them.
One must keep a distance from such people to avoid trouble.
