"Don’t you think she’s dressed a bit too lightly at our ho?" Qian asked Jia Xiufang.
"What exactly are you trying to say to ?" Jia Xiufang was a bit puzzled hearing her daughter talk about such a topic for the first ti.
"Yesterday when I went downstairs to wash my hands, she was wandering around the house in just shorts." Whether or not she wore anything else, Qian didn’t know, but she wanted to steer her mother’s thoughts in that direction.
Qu Xue was staying at the store, pulling out a single bed after closing. Qian’s family lived on the second floor, so if they needed to go to the bathroom or get up at night, they had to go downstairs.
"What nonsense, you’re overthinking it, the weather is so hot, wearing less isn’t an issue..." Jia Xiufang’s voice grew softer as she recalled sothing.
The son is now a big boy, and a teenage boy has an awareness of these things, it seems it’s necessary to pay more attention.
Qian knew her mother took it to heart and casually added another comnt.
"When I went downstairs, I saw Dad going to the bathroom too."
Jia Xiufang was stunned.
"Don’t talk nonsense, your father is so much older — why am I discussing this with a little girl like you, stretch out your foot, let see."
Qu Xue is only in her twenties, while the old man at ho is nearly fifty, how could it be possible, but Qian’s words did stir a ripple in Jia Xiufang’s heart.
Qian stretched her leg out, a large bruise, Jia Xiufang was filled with anger looking at it.
"That Ni Jianren, he left us mother and daughter behind and ran off on his own, can he be good to you in the future? What exactly did you see in him? From the beginning, I didn’t like him, a pretty boy, with ulterior motives, shifty eyes, clearly with a lot on his mind."
"After experiencing a huge ntal gap, one instinctively seeks a safe haven, losing the ability to think rationally, thinking that leaving ho can bring happiness, but by the ti they realize, they’re already deep in a quagmire, many unhappy marriages are caused just like this."
After failing the college exam, she was too saddened. Her father suggested a blind date, she went along, and in a daze, ended up marrying, trying to escape a ssy life, only to end up in an even ssier situation.
Jia Xiufang’s face turned heavy, stood up, and placed a hand on Qian’s forehead.
"Is your brain not working today, why do you keep saying strange things?"
"It’s nothing." Qian couldn’t directly say she wouldn’t marry the scumbag yet, otherwise, her mom would surely explode.
Cancelling an engagent isn’t a good thing to hear among neighbors, even though Ni Jianren’s behavior was scummy today, with her mother’s personality, she definitely wouldn’t cancel the engagent, she’d likely say sothing missing the point entirely.
"Tell your dad to raise the bride price, when you get married, hold onto the money, then he wouldn’t dare to bully you!"
Qian rolled her eyes inside, see, just what she expected! Her mom could never get to the main point and always thought her ideas were especially brilliant!
"I’ll go get herb wine to rub on it, this ankle will swell up like a pig’s trotter by tomorrow."
"No need." She didn’t like others touching her.
After the divorce, she felt everyone was particularly filthy, even Yu Minglang, she didn’t know why, but she viewed him as the only unfilthy one and even had a daughter with him. Yet when it ca to other n approaching, she still felt disgusted.
Jia Xiufang went out, and Qian sneered to herself, muttering softly.
"Ni Jianren is just a piece of shit, even if you shape it into a steak, I cannot trick myself into thinking it’s really a steak, let alone pretend to eat it happily. He’s just a pile of shit."
But for now, she had to keep this pile of shit, she still had use for Ni Jianren in the future.
Her foot hurt especially, Qian touched the dicated patch in her pocket, Yu Minglang’s face floated into her mind.
Who would’ve thought that poker face would’ve been so handso in his younger days...
As she peeled off the dicated patch and prepared to apply it, a feeling of unease crept in.
Look at that guy, how skillful he was at handing over the patch, he must have given it to many won, right? Whenever he saw a pretty woman, did he eagerly offer her a patch?
Throwing the dicated patch into the trash can, she hobbled to find so herbal wine, she had to stay away from that guy, in her past life he had searched for her his entire life, and it felt like sticking to that guy would an no good days.
Different values don’t allow for mutual consultation, she reincarnated to be the ultimate bad boss lady, a sunny, positive man like Yu Minglang should stay to shine on other won; she prefers growing toxic mushrooms in dark corners.
The scent of the dicated patch filled the air, the small attic was filled with this sll, no matter what Qian did, all she saw in her mind was Yu Minglang.
His way of saving her in her past life and this life overlapped.
"Annoying guy, haunting spirit." Qian suddenly felt she wanted to wash her hands again, feeling irritable.
After washing her hands, she pulled out a chair, sat at her desk, turned on the lamp, took out paper and pen, preparing to make a short-term plan.
The light in the attic wasn’t great, one had to turn on the lamp by the afternoon, Qian sat at the desk, looking at the books piled high above, each one seed worn from reading, reminding her of her past diligent study days, burning the midnight oil.
How naïve she was, thinking that as long as she studied hard, her parents would pay more attention to her, treat her better, having to help with the family business after school, washing clothes in icy water in winter, and staying up late to study by lamp light.
When helpless and broken, she chose to trust her family, but her family wasn’t good to her. Eventually, blood and tears taught her that relying on others was never as safe as being independent.
Qian collected her thoughts, writing down character relationships smoothly on the paper, sothing psychologists do when treating patients.
Father: Favoring sons over daughters, wants dowry, has a mistress
Mother: Doesn’t treat as well as my brother, clueless, chaotic, unaware of father’s mistress.
Thinking of her mother’s earlier kindness, Qian drew a line through "unfair to ," adding a question mark.
She only trusts what she sees with her own eyes, this section on her mother requires continued observation.
Qu Xue: father’s mistress, will eventually be promoted to main
Scumbag: Gay, fraudulent marriage, scum... can’t continue writing, scumbag traits are too many to fit on one page.
Yu Ming... had just written two characters, Qian felt uneasy, scratched them out. Keep distance from him, never let him set his sights on her.
With the important figures listed, she began to write down current tasks.
1. Find the acceptance letter
2. Get the tuition fee
3. Force the scumbag to call off the engagent.
Thinking of her mother’s kindness to her today, Qian added another item.
Destroy mistress Qu Xue.
"Just consider it as repaynt for that bit of kindness you showed , I’m not holding out for any maternal love from you." She maintained seriousness, keeping her set role as the bad boss lady intact.
Qian muttered to herself, drawing a connecting symbol between obtaining the tuition and forcing the scumbag to call off the engagent.
She could force the scumbag to call off the engagent while simultaneously securing her tuition, ah, life, everything is interconnected.
