Momo was a little girl the Qin family had taken in, intending for her to grow up and become the young master's personal maid.
But before long, the mistress of the Qin household discovered that the girl was too delicate for hard work. She couldn't get her hands wet or carry anything heavy, but she was good at chatting with people now and then and studying with the young masters.
So Momo became the eldest young master's study companion.
This was what the mistress of the Qin household saw every day:
The tutor assigned them a punishment: copy the text.
Momo: Young master, my hand hurts.
The eldest young master: Sit down. I'll copy it.
The tutor assigned homework.
Momo: Young master, I can't do these problems.
The eldest young master: Sit down and watch me do them.
The mistress of the Qin household sighed: What a helpful girl!
Later, the mistress of the Qin household told her that the eldest young master was going away to travel, and that she would no longer have to be his personal maid.
Momo thought that her only two uses were gone, so to repay the Qin family and stop causing them trouble, she packed her things and went to look for her relatives.
Along the way, Momo found them, and even gained a fiance.
While traveling, Qin Huai saw his own maid standing in front of him. He was delighted, until the little girl led an ugly fellow over to him and said shyly, with a shameless smile, "Young master, this is my future husband."
The eldest young master of the Qin family turned green with rage on the spot. He gripped the little girl's shoulders and asked, with all the restraint he could muster, "Then what about me? What am I to you?"
