“Don’t you think she wears too little in our house?” Xiao Qian asked Jia Xiufang.
“What exactly do you want to tell me?” Jia Xiufang heard her daughter talking about this topic for the first time, and was somewhat unclear about the child’s intention.
“Yesterday, when I went downstairs to wash my hands, she was walking around the house in shorts.” Xiao Qian didn’t know if she was wearing anything, but she still had to guide her mother to think in this direction.
Chu Xue lives in the store itself, just pulling a single bed after closing, and Xiao Qian’s family lives on the second floor. If they need to get up at night or go to the bathroom, they have to go downstairs.
“What are you talking nonsense, thinking too much, it’s so hot, wearing less doesn’t matter…” Jia Xiufang’s voice became quieter and quieter, as she also recalled it.
Her son is now a young man, and teenage boys also have this kind of awareness, so it seems they should pay more attention.
Xiao Qian knew that her mother had listened, and added a little more.
“When I went downstairs, I saw my dad also going to the bathroom.”
Jia Xiufang was taken aback.
“Don’t talk nonsense; your father is so old – why am I talking about this with a little girl like you? Stretch out your foot; let me take a look.”
Chu Xue was only in her twenties, and her old man was already approaching fifty. How could it be possible? But Xiao Qian’s words still caused a ripple in Jia Xiufang’s heart.

Xiao Qian stretched out her leg, revealing a large bruise. Jia Xiufang looked at it and felt angry.
“This Ni Jianren, leaving you and me behind and running away, how can he treat you well in the future? What on earth did you see in him! From the beginning, I didn’t like him, white-faced and restless, with shifty eyes; it’s clear that he has too many intentions!”
“After experiencing a huge psychological gap, people will instinctively look for a shelter from the storm, losing rational thinking and feeling that leaving home can bring happiness. But when they react, they are already deep in the mire. Many unhappy marriages are caused by this.”
When she failed to get into university, she was heartbroken. Her father said she should go on a blind date so she went, getting married in a daze, wanting to escape from her messy life, only to fall deeper into misery.
Jia Xiufang had a heavy expression, stood up, and put her hand on Xiao Qian’s forehead.
“Are you out of your mind today? Why are you talking about strange things?”
“It’s nothing.” For now, Xiao Qian couldn’t say directly that she wouldn’t marry the scumbag, or her mother would explode.
Backing out of a marriage is not a good thing to talk about among neighbors. Although Ni Jianren’s performance today was scummy, according to her mother’s temperament, she certainly wouldn’t back out of the marriage, but would probably say some off-topic things.
“Let your dad ask for a higher bride price so that you’ll have money in your hands when you marry him, and he won’t dare to bully you!”
Xiao Qian rolled her eyes inwardly. See, what was she saying! Her mother would never get to the point, and always thought she had a lot of ideas!
“I’ll go get some medicinal wine to rub on it. Your ankle is going to swell up like a pig’s hoof tomorrow.”
“No need.” She didn’t like other people touching her.
After the divorce, she felt everyone was especially dirty. She didn’t know what was going on with Yu Minglang, but she treated him as the only person who wasn’t dirty and even had a daughter with him. However, when other men approached her, she still felt sick.
Jia Xiufang left, and it was only then that Xiao Qian muttered to herself with disdain.
“Ni Jianren is just a piece of shit. Even if you shape him into a steak, I still can’t hypnotize myself into thinking he’s actually a steak. He’s still a piece of shit.”
However, for now, she still had to keep this piece of shit. Later, she would have use for Ni Jianren.
Her foot was hurting so much, Xiao Qian touched the herbal plaster in her pocket, and the face of Yu Minglang appeared in her mind.
Who would have thought that the guy with the expressionless face would be so handsome when he was young…
Tearing off the herbal plaster, preparing to apply it, she suddenly felt nauseous.
Seeing him stuffing the herbal plaster so skillfully, he must have done it for many women, right? Whenever he sees a beautiful woman, does he rush up to them and offer plaster?
She threw the plaster into the trash bin and limped to find the medicinal wine. She needed to stay away from this guy; in her previous life, he looked for her all his life, and when this guy got sticky, there would never be any good days.
Those with different outlooks shouldn’t cooperate; she was reborn to be the worst villainess boss. Yu Minglang, that kind of sunshine and positive man, should just stay and shine on other women. She liked to grow poisonous mushrooms in dark corners.
The smell of the plaster filled the air, and the small attic was full of this smell. No matter what Xiao Qian did, Yu Minglang appeared in her eyes.
The way he saved her in her previous life, overlapping with how he saved people in this life.
“Annoying guy, lingering like a ghost,” Xiao Qian suddenly felt like washing her hands again, her heart bothered.
After washing her hands, she pulled out a chair, sat at her desk, turned on the light, took out paper and pen, and prepared to make a short-term plan.
The lighting in the attic wasn’t very good, so by the afternoon she had to turn on the light. Sitting at the desk, looking at the full stacks of books, each one looking very old, she could think of her once hardworking and diligent self who studied in the cold winter, staying up late and studying by lamplight.
How na?ve she was before, thinking that as long as she studied hard, her parents would look at her more and treat her better. After school, she also helped take care of the family business, washing clothes with cold water in the winter, and studying late at night.
When she was helpless and collapsed, she chose to trust her family, but her family was not good to her. In the end, the blood and tears told her that relying on others is never as safe as being independent.
Xiao Qian focused her thoughts and wrote down the characters fluently on the paper. When a psychologist treats a patient, they often do this.
Father: Values sons over daughters, wants a high bride price, has affairs
Mother: Doesn’t treat me as well as my brother, has no ideas, causes trouble for no reason, doesn’t know about father’s affairs
When she wrote the part about not treating her well, Xiao Qian’s mind remembered the scene when Jia Xiufang let her go first. So she drew a horizontal line on this item and added a question mark behind it.
She only believed in what she saw with her own eyes. As for her mother, she continued to observe.
Chu Xue: Father’s mistress, will turn the tables and become legitimate in the future
Bitch: Homosexual, marriage scam, scum… can’t write it down, the bitch’s characteristics are too many, can’t fit them all on one piece of paper.
Yu Ming… Xiao Qian just wrote two characters and felt that it was wrong, so she crossed them out with her pen. Keep her distance from him, and never let him keep an eye on her.
After listing important characters, she started to write down the things she needed to do now.
1. Find the Admission Notice
2. Get tuition fees
3. Force scumbag to back out of the marriage.
Thinking of her mother’s kindness to her today, Xiao Qian added one more.
Ruin Chu Xue, the mistress.
“This is just to repay your little bit of kindness to me; I have no expectation for your motherly love.” She had to remain serious and adhere to the villainess boss character she had set for herself.
Xiao Qian murmured to herself, drawing a symbol of mutual connection between getting tuition fees and forcing the scumbag to back out of the marriage.
She could force the scumbag to back out and, in passing, get her tuition fees. Life is like this; everything is interdependent.
