บท 109: Having a Home

Qiao Mei held Li Gui's hand and stroked it gently. She knew that Li Gui was thinking about how to make it up to her, but it was not as if Li Gui did not care about her during all these years. It was just that she had been deceived by Old Madam Li, who was Qiao Mei's grandmother.

"My little girl, please consider the building costs of 500 dollars to be a loan to me which I'll pay back later. I'll leave this 150 dollars with you for now." Li Gui looked into Qiao Mei's eyes, afraid that she would refuse.

Qiao Mei nodded. Although she did not quite understand if Li Gui intended to use the money to repay her or it was meant for something else, she thought about it and decided that it would be safer for her to keep the money. Otherwise, if the Zhang and Li families came over during this period of time, they might just take the money away.
