This is an incorrect quotation. The words "you" and "me" are not interchangeable, as you can clearly see in the sentence "I would like to see my wages paid to you." as opposed to "I would like to see my wages paid to me."

The correct quotation is "he hath eaten me out of house and home." Mistress Quickly, in Shakespeare's play, Henry IV Part 2, is an innkeeper saddled with the unfortunate guest Sir John Falstaff, who never pays his bill. He is hugely fat and eats like a horse, so he is bankrupting her, which is what she means when she says this.
