Chapter 132 - 97, Can’t take it back
"Hey, She Dengke, what would you do if you had money?" Liu Quxing sat on the edge of the stone mill platform, munching on the pancakes his master had brought, and mumbled the question.
"Of course, I’d buy a house for my family first. I want a compound with two courtyards; in the back courtyard, I’d have my dad and mom, my older brother and sister-in-law, and the front courtyard for my second brother and his wife, and my third brother and his wife. They’ve had it tough over the years. The entire family squeezed into one room, sleeping on the floor, and turning over was not easy."
"What about yourself? Where will you live?"
She Dengke stuffed the last of his pancake into his mouth: "I’ll stay at the Medical Hall, no need for my family to keep a room for me... Liu Quxing, what would you do with money?"
Liu Quxing thought for a moment and said, "I want to get my mom out of the Liu Family so she doesn’t have to second-guess the mistress anymore. Every time she comes to bring me money and food, when she goes back home she gets nothing but sneers and can’t avoid a round of mockery."
"Money is good," She Dengke said, looking down: "Money’s like an old immortal, capable of making dreams come true."
Liu Quxing suddenly asked, "After you have money, would you still want to apprentice at the Medical Hall?"
She Dengke paused, hesitating: "Yeah, if I had money, would I still apprentice..."
Snap.
