Qin Jin chuckled at her naivety.
It was said that when Li Qiao was six or seven years old, Miss Li had an arranged marriage, and Dong Lamei ruthlessly demanded a hefty bride price, using the dowry collected to fund her and Li Jinhua's education.
At first, she only wanted to support Li Jinhua's studies.
After Miss Li made a scene upon returning home, Dong Lamei, fearing the incident would grow and others would gossip about her, possibly affecting her two children, relented and agreed that only one of the two sisters could be supported.
The second sister then gave the opportunity to Li Qiao.
Later, when it was the second sister's turn to get married, her husband's family was relatively wealthy, and Dong Lamei naturally did not miss the opportunity to hold out her hand.
The money for their education was thus secured again, wasn't it?
Silly and naive.
Now she was essentially sold off herself, and there she was, counting money for others.
