After Chu Qiao was dragged home, she went back to her own room and stopped crying. She needed to take a nap, because the quarrel was quite tiring.

In the living room, He Jihong had a displeasing face. Chu Yuanzhi repeatedly smiled apologetically and said some nice words. But He Jihong ignored him, and she became even more annoyed.

“She doesn’t like Gu Jianshe, who is such a good man. Does she want to marry the emperor? Hmph, she is already 21 years old, jobless, lives and eats leisurely at home every day. Chu Yuanzhi, how much money do you earn?”

He Jihong was too lazy to pretend to be a virtuous person, so she might as well just let everything out in the open. At first, it was her mother’s idea who let her pretend to be a virtuous person, so that she could not only get a free nanny, but also earn a betrothal gift, and also get a good reputation. Killing three birds with one stone.

Moreover, Chu Qiao was also well-behaved. It’s easy to be her stepmother, so He Jihong was also happy to act. But now that Chu Qiao didn’t cooperate, she couldn’t pretend anymore. After all, She did not have a gentle and virtuous temper.

“Then let her move out and live outside, so that you won’t be upset.” Chu Peng said coldly, his expression was impatient.

He Jihong was stunned, and a little flustered. She was afraid of her son. After all, she had to rely on him for her old age.

“Xiao Peng, you don’t know…”

He Jihong wanted to explain, but Chu Peng interrupted her, “Since you will get angry when you see her, then just let her move out. And the house will be peaceful.”

“That’s not what Mom meant. How can you just say that?”

Of course He Jihong was not happy. How could she earn the betrothal money if Chu Qiao moved out? Then that would mean she had raised her for 5 years in vain.

“Then stop quarreling, you let other people make fun of us!”

Chu Peng sneered and He Jihong flustered. She wanted to explain a few words to him, but Chu Peng already went to his room. Chu Qiao was not there, so she could only stare at Chu Yuanzhi ruthlessly. She entered the bedroom with a sullen face, and slammed the door.

Chu Yuanzhi smiled helplessly, and picked up the porcelain dishes on the ground. It was a really rough day. He really had to let Chu Qiao marry out. Otherwise, she would also suffer some ill-treatment from He Jihong if she stayed at home.

In her room, Chu Qiao heard everything clearly and sneered silently. She could not stay in this house anymore. He Jihong had regarded her as a nuisance, and now she also revealed her as an unvirtuous stepmother. The next man she introduced would probably not be as good as Gu Jianshe.

She couldn’t go back to the countryside. Her uncle and aunt were money-grubbing, only thinking of their own personal gain. Their behavior was even more unbearable. She didn’t know what kind of man they would sell her to.

The best way was to move her hukou to the city, and set up a separate family, so that she could live independently. If her hukou was in her own hands, no one could threaten her.

But now she had no money and couldn’t afford to buy a house. She had to find a way to earn money in a short time. She could make snacks, herbal meals, play the piano and guzheng. She also knew a little about flower arrangement and tea ceremony.

-Flower Arrangement

It wasn’t futile to be a rich wife in her previous life. She learned how to play piano when the two bastard children of Gu Jianshe were learning it. Those two little bastards couldn’t learn it well, but she learned it well. The piano teacher said that she had musical talent. She also had some interest in it, so she went to sign up for a guzheng class and learnt it pretty well.

Flower arrangement and tea ceremony were also learned when she had nothing to do. These skills, she was neither good nor bad at, and she could make some attractive flower arrangements.

Her expertise was to make snacks and herbal meals, but it was hard to earn a lot of money in a short time by selling food. She was afraid that He Jihong couldn’t tolerate her, would play tricks behind her, and give her to a trash man before she was able to gather enough money.
