Chapter 54 – Women should strive for self-improvement (1)

He Jihong was so angry that she shook her hands. She had worked hard to maintain her good reputation for five years. But it was completely ruined in a day by this little bitch. If she knew that something like this would happen today, why did she have to bear her anger in those five years?

“Chu Yuanzhi, I… I don’t care anymore!”

He Jihong went back to her room and became sullen. She wouldn’t pretend to be a virtuous person anymore. She would go to ask someone to find a man tomorrow, it would be okay even if he was a bit older. As long as he could afford 500 yuan for the bride price, she would agree to the marriage.

Chu Yuanzhi touched his temple. His head was about to explode. He also wanted to hide in the room, but he couldn’t do that. He had to solve the problem.

This child Chu Qiao was indeed becoming more and more disobedient, alas!

“Qiao Qiao, get up quickly! Your Aunt He just said a few words. What are you doing?” Chu Yuanzhi wanted to help his daughter, but Chu Qiao avoided and looked at him coldly. Her face was full of tears, “Didn’t you ask me to kowtow to Aunt He and plead guilty? I listen to your words and kowtow. I beg Aunt He to spare me a lot. If you are still not satisfied, I will kowtow again!”

“Why are you so childish? Get up quickly!”

Chu Yuanzhi had a splitting headache. He could feel the contempt and disdain in the eyes of his neighbors. No one looked down on him in the hospital. They said that he was eating soft rice1 behind his back. He just acted as if he didn’t hear it. Now Chu Qiao was making such a noise. Perhaps these people would look down on him even more.

1eating soft rice : to live off a woman ; a way of saying that a man relies on his wife or girlfriend to support him.

Ugh, what is this all about!

Other people also persuaded him. After ten minutes, Chu Qiao’s knees were numb, so she took the opportunity to ask, “Dad, you won’t force me to marry again, will you?”

The eyes of the neighbors became clear, no wonder this honest child would make trouble twice in a row. As it turned out that they wanted to marry her out as a stepmother. He Jihong really has no conscience.

“Doctor Chu, Chu Qiao is still young. So there is no need to rush to get married. And it’s not like the salary of the two of you can’t support her. Now is the new society, We don’t want to have arranged marriages!”

“Chu Qiao is so beautiful. What kind of good young man can’t marry? Why should she marry and be the stepmother of two children? Doctor Chu, you are her biological father.”

Everyone earnestly persuaded Chu Yuanzhi. He couldn’t help but smile. But his smile became more and more stiff. He didn’t feel good. He also didn’t want to force his daughter to marry. However, his words in this family didn’t have any weight. He was also very embarrassed.

“No, Jihong didn’t force Qiao Qiao to get married, she just had a discussion with her.” Chu Yuanzhi explained vaguely.

Not only Chu Qiao didn’t believe it, even the neighbors also didn’t believe it. But they didn’t say anything about it. After all, she wasn’t their own daughter. There was no need to offend people, a few words of persuasion were enough.

“Dad, you can rest assured that I have already found a job in the garment factory. I will earn my own money in the future, so I will not let you get stuck in the middle again.” Chu Qiao’s words surprised everyone.

Chu Yuanzhi was even more shocked. He Jihong, who was eavesdropping in the room, was also shocked. Unexpectedly, this little bitch actually found a job. No wonder she became more independent and outspoken. No, she couldn’t let this little bitch go out to work. Otherwise, if she became ambitious, she would be even more disobedient.

But she didn’t want to go out. With so many people gathered at the door, she couldn’t face them. He Jihong was so anxious that she walked around the room, hoping Chu Yuanzhi would not let her down.

“Finding a job is good. The chairman said that women comrades hold up half the sky, and women can still make contributions to socialist construction. Chu Qiao used to be wasted at home for five years, and now she finally understands. It’s really great!”

The woman who just spoke had an official accent. He Jihong’s heart became cold. This woman was really her nemesis, Director Bi. At the beginning, she and this surnamed Bi were vying for the Director of women seat. As a result, she lost. So she could only go to the B-grade doctor. Although it was easy, but the Director position was an official governor. While B-grade was just for an ordinary doctor, and the salary was lower. Since then, He Jihong and Director Bi didn’t even bother to greet each other when they bumped into each other. Not even for the sake of politeness.
