Chapter 52

Chapter 52 – Can you accept my kowtow? (1)

Although the treatment of Chu Qiao’s waigong to Chu Qiao wasn’t very good, thanks to him, in the first 16 years before she came to Chu family, her mother Sun Yinxiu didn’t treat her too badly. At least she was not hungry and cold. When she got beaten excessively, her waigong would also come forward to stop it.

In addition, when their land was divided, it was also her waigong who made the decision to give Sun Yinxiu’s assets to her. At that time, Sun Yinxiu had already run away with a southern man. That one acre of land was planted by her uncle, and he gave her a few hundred pounds of rice every year. She also planted some sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes herself, and it was barely enough for her to eat.

When Chu Yuanzhi had not divorced, he was fearful of his former father-in-law. Chu Qiao’s waigong was as scary as his current father-in-law. Even though his former father-in-law had passed away for five years, when Chu Qiao mentioned it, He shivered coldly, subconsciously looked toward his back, and did not dare to say anything more.

It was as if the cold, hard voice of his former father-in-law reappeared in his ears. His former father-in-law was the production team leader, and the way he spoke was awe-inspiring.

“Chu Yuanzhi, I don’t care about the bullshit between my daughter and you. My daughter is bad, and you are not a good thing either. You guys are the same. But Chu Qiao is innocent, and I’m going to die soon. Chu Qiao is your own daughter, so you have the obligation to support her. I won’t ask you to treat her well, but please don’t treat her badly. When she is old enough, you can find a suitable good man for her to marry. Chu Yuanzhi, if you can’t even do this, then you’re no better than a damned animal!”

Chu Yuanzhi trembled again. The voice of his former father-in-law could be heard clearly in his ears. That old man had never begged for anyone in his life. His bones were harder than steel bars. But before he died, he (the old man) begged him (Chu Yuanzhi) for his daughter (Chu Qiao).

Chu Yuanzhi looked at his beautiful and weak daughter who stared at him with tears in her eyes, wearing old and rustic clothes, which was indeed more rustic than Aunt Wang. What she said was right. For these five years, all of the houseworks was undertaken by Qiao Qiao. She didn’t receive a penny, and had to be bullied by Xu Bilian. She was bullied so much that she had a high fever two days ago.

Chu Yuanzhi felt bad, and a burst of guilt surged into his heart. The words he was going to say changed, “Jihong, the clothes that Qiao Qiao wears are really too old. Anyway, Bilian won’t wear these clothes anymore. It’s also a waste to keep them, just let Qiao Qiao resize them so she can wear them.”

“So you also think that I abused your daughter? Fine! You father and daughter are connected by heart, and I’m an outsider. Good… Very good, Chu Yuanzhi, you can stand on your own now. Then I won’t care about your job’s evaluation for the latter half of the year anymore.”

He Jihong said in one breath. Her husband who was always obedient, actually dared to oppose her just because of this little bitch?

This little bitch couldn’t stay at this home anymore, she needed to find a man to marry her out, and let her live her own life.

Chu Yuanzhi suddenly became flustered. He was an ordinary doctor. If he could be assessed as an attending doctor in the latter half of the year, his salary would be able to increase by one level, and he could earn 8 yuan more per month.

If He Jihong refused to help him, just by relying on himself, he would definitely not be able to get it.

“That’s not what I meant. Jihong, don’t be angry. Your health is the most important. Just listen to my explanation. The clothes that Qiao Qiao wears are so rustic, people will perceive you badly, and it’s just two old clothes. You have always been the most generous. There is no need for you to lower yourself to fuss with the younger generation.

Chu Yuanzhi was so flustered that he kept trying to please He Jihong. The softheartedness he felt toward his daughter before was also washed away completely by his job position.

He Jihong was secretly proud of herself, but kept her poker face. She mocked: “Now it’s your precious daughter who keeps fussing over trivial matters with me. How dare I argue with her? I don’t dare to meddle in her affairs. If I say something harsh, she will go to the leader’s place and sue me. I’m so scared!”

Today, she had to suppress this little bitch’s arrogance. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be peaceful later on. He Jihong squinted at Chu Yuanzhi. Her triangular eyes became more and more sharp and unkind. Chu Yuanzhi was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. In his heart, he also resented his daughter.
