“How can I not be angry? Your good daughter is now a rich young lady. She doesn’t cook, she doesn’t mop the floor, and she only washes her own clothes. I have to work, I have to cook, I have to do housework, and I have to serve your precious daughter. I, He Jihong, owe you both father and daughter, right? Chu Yuanzhi, today I’ll make things clear to you. Chu Qiao must be married off. I can’t afford to raise her!”
He Jihong gave him an ultimatum. Seeing the little sl*t’s face, she was filled with anger. If a woman was too angry, she would easily get wrinkles. She had not had enough of her good days. It would be better if she told the little sl*t to scram as soon as possible.
“I’ll listen to you. She has to get married, but it’s not good to be a stepmother.”
Chu Yuanzhi had just said that when He Jihong glared fiercely at him. He immediately smiled apologetically. “I’m thinking for your sake. I definitely know that you’re doing it for the good of Qiao Qiao, but outsiders don’t know. They’ll say that you’re Qiao Qiao’s stepmother. If you say too much, it’ll spread like wildfire. How annoying will it be for you to hear that, right?”
He Jihong’s expression softened again. What he said made sense. Those gossipy aunties in the office were annoying to death. They stared at other people every day, especially her, who was a stepmother. They wanted nothing more than to find evidence that she had abused Chu Qiao, then, they would spread the news everywhere. Today, that little b*tch had caused a ruckus. She didn’t know what those gossipy women would say!
Thinking of this, she felt frustrated again. She regretted letting Chu Qiao go out to meet Gu Jianshe. If she had known it would be like this, she would have arranged for it to be at home. With her watching, that little b*tch would definitely not dare to act recklessly. She would have obediently agreed to marry him. It was a miscalculation.
He Jihong was unwilling. She had carefully selected Gu Jianshe. Chu Qiao would definitely not have a good life if she married him. Moreover, she would be able to get rid of Bilian’s stray thoughts. No, she would talk to Zhu Yuzhen again to see if she could make Gu Jianshe change his mind.
If Gu Jianshe really did not agree, she would find that little sl*t a random man. As long as the betrothal gifts were high, it would be fine. Hmph, didn’t that little sl*t say that she did not want to be a stepmother? Then she would find a widower with a dead wife and no children, the kind that was old, ugly, and hot-tempered. Let’s see if that little sl*t could jump out of her palm.
He Jihong sighed, and her face became slightly better. She deliberately said, “Alright, since both you father and daughter look down on Gu Jianshe, just take it as a waste of my effort. I’ll get someone to look for a man again. But I have to make it clear to you. Chu Qiao has a rural household registration, and she doesn’t have a job. Young people with such good conditions won’t look up to her.”
The smile on Chu Yuanzhi’s face froze, and he felt a little dissatisfied. He probed, “Chu Qiao has been in our house for five years. Why don’t you move her household registration over?”
“Move over for what? Your ex-wife isn’t dead yet. It’s easy for you to move over here. What if Chu Qiao’s biological mother comes back to make a scene one day? I can’t afford to lose face like this.”
He Jihong vetoed it immediately. Hmph, this little b*tch still wants to eat commercial food?
In her dreams!
Seeing that Chu Yuanzhi wasn’t too happy, she let out a gentle breath and comforted him, “I’m doing this for your own good. Your ex-wife isn’t a good person. It’s easy to move your household registration, but if you don’t get her permission and move Chu Qiao’s household registration to our place, she’ll definitely come to cause a ruckus in the future. Can you beat her?”
Chu Yuanzhi looked a little hesitant. He was really afraid of his ex-wife. She was unreasonable and liked to fight. He couldn’t beat her even if he scolded her. The few years he lived with his ex-wife were like hell.
“If you can find your ex-wife and convince her to agree to move Chu Qiao’s hukou[1] to our place, I definitely won’t have any objections. Otherwise, you’ll always think that I deliberately blocked your daughter’s hukou.”
He Jihong snorted coldly, and Chu Yuanzhi quickly smiled apologetically. “How could I? I’ve seen how you treat Qiao Qiao. Let’s talk about the hukou later.”
“Don’t say that I didn’t give you a chance. Sigh, it’s hard for me to be a stepmother. My efforts are useless, and my good intentions are like a donkey’s liver and lungs. I really owe you and your father in my past life.”
He Jihong was very proud in her heart. Chu Yuanzhi was very obedient in front of her. Other than not having any ability, everything else about this man was satisfactory to her. If he didn’t have any ability, then so be it. Anyway, her father had the ability, and his health was good as well… He could still live for another few decades. With her father around, she would definitely not have a hard time.
Moreover, if Chu Yuanzhi was capable, he would definitely not be so obedient. It was better to be like this now. He would be at her mercy. She could pinch him as she wished.
Chu Yuanzhi did not dare to bring up the household registration again. He carefully and attentively massaged He Jihong’s shoulders and back. As for his daughter, Chu Qiao, he had already tried his best. He did not dare to offend He Jihong.
His job was arranged by the He family. It was easy and comfortable, and his salary was not low. If it were not for the He family taking care of him, with his status, he would not have been able to live such an easy and comfortable life. Chu Yuanzhi was frightened by his past years. Right now, he only wanted to live a stable life. He could not manage anything else, nor did he have the ability to manage it.
In the family courtyard of Xingda Machine Tool Factory, Tang Weiguo found Gu Ye and bought some fruits. Tang Weiguo’s grandfather and Grandfather Gu were life-and-death brothers. They both lived in the courtyard. When Tang Weiguo was young, he lived in the courtyard and often followed the young Gu Ye, around. Although the two of them were of different generations, they got along like brothers.
Gu Ye was clumsily cooking. He boiled noodles in clear water and cracked a few eggs. The appearance was not bad, but the Zhou brothers had no appetite because the two of them had been eating egg noodles for half a month.
“Uncle Ye, you only eat this?”
Tang Weiguo looked at the god in his heart with sympathy. Uncle Gu Ye, who used to be invincible in the courtyard, actually had something that he didn’t know how to do. Look at how the noodles were cooked. Even a dog wouldn’t eat it.
“There’s white noodles and eggs. What’s so bad about that?”
Gu Ye rolled his eyes in annoyance and glared at the two brothers again. he shouted, “Hurry up and eat. Dabao, wash the dishes after you finish eating.”
“Oh!”
Zhou Dabao responded and poked his younger brother next to him, indicating for him to hurry up and eat. It was already not easy for uncle Gu to take care of them. It was not a big deal even if they ate egg noodles every day. They were not qualified to be squeamish.
Tang Weiguo smiled and placed the fruits on the table. He also bought a big watermelon. His father had opened a dance hall and a trading company. Business was booming. The pocket money he received every month was even higher than he Jihong’s salary. He was very rich.
“Uncle Ye, why haven’t you divorced?”
Tang Weiguo asked as soon as he sat down. When Gu Ye and Xu Bilian were married, he felt that it was inappropriate. Xu Bilian, that woman, even looked down on her younger brother, Chu Peng. Moreover, she even hooked up with that b*stard, Gu Jianshe. Sure enough, even after getting married, she was still restless. She had given Uncle Ye a green hat as big as the solar system.
His wise and mighty Uncle Ye had become a green-haired wild turtle.
“Soon. What are you doing here?”

Gu Ye took a big gulp of egg noodles and ate it with relish, as if he was eating a rare delicacy.
Tang Weiguo’s eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly, “Are you really going to get a divorce?”
He looked so happy, as if he was the one who was getting a divorce.
“Yeah, we’ll get a divorce in a few days.”
Gu Ye was already working on it. It wasn’t difficult to handle. That adulterous couple was quite bold, daring to mess around in broad daylight. He had gathered a lot of evidence, so he could get a divorce anytime he wanted, but he wanted to get some benefits..
