Although her grandfather didn’t treat Chu Qiao very well, it was thanks to her grandfather that she was able to stay in the Chu family for the first sixteen years. Her mother, Sun Yinxiu, didn’t treat her too badly. At least she didn’t starve or freeze. When she went too far, her grandfather would step in and stop her.
Moreover, when the land was divided, it was her grandfather who made the decision to give Sun Yinxiu’s land and real estate to her. At that time, Sun Yinxiu had already run away with the southern men. Her uncle planted that Mu of land and gave her a few hundred catties of rice every year, she also planted some sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes herself, barely enough to fill her stomach.
When Chu Yuanzhi was still married, he respected his former father-in-law the most. In his heart, his grandfather was as scary as his current father-in-law. Even though his former father-in-law had passed away five years ago, Chu Qiao still shuddered when he mentioned it, he subconsciously looked back, not daring to mix with his father-in-law anymore.
The cold voice of his ex-father-in-law seemed to appear in his ears. His ex-father-in-law was the captain of the production team, and his words carried a sense of authority.
“Chu Yuanzhi, I can’t be bothered to care about the bullsh*t between my daughter and you. My daughter isn’t good, and you’re not good either. The two of you are evenly matched, but Chu Qiao is innocent. I’m going to see Max soon. Chu Qiao is your biological daughter, and you have the obligation to raise her. I don’t ask you to treat her well, but I beg you not to treat her harshly. When you’re old enough, find a good man for her to marry. Chu Yuanzhi, if you can’t even do that, you’re worse than a beast!”
Chu Yuanzhi shivered again. The voice of his ex-father-in-law was still ringing in his ears. That old man had never begged anyone in his life. His bones were harder than steel, but before he died, he came to beg him for his daughter.
Then, he looked at his beautiful and weak daughter. With tears in his eyes, he stared at him accusingly. He was wearing old, rustic clothes. Indeed, he was more rustic than Aunt Wang. What his daughter said was also true. In the past five years, all the housework had been contracted out, she had not received a single cent of her salary, and she was bullied by Xu Bilian. Two days ago, she had been bullied until she had a high fever.
Chu Yuanzhi could not help but feel bitter. A wave of guilt welled up in his heart, and the words that came out of his mouth also changed, “Jihong, the clothes on Qiaoqiao’s body are indeed too old. Anyway, Bilian doesn’t wear these clothes anymore. It’s a waste to leave them here. Let Qiaoqiao change her clothes.”
“You mean that I abused your daughter? Fine, you’re father and daughter United, and I’m an outsider. Fine… very good. Chu Yuanzhi, your wings have hardened. I Don’t care about your job title for the second half of the year!”
He Jihong rushed up in one breath. Her husband, who had always been obedient, actually dared to contradict her because of this little b*tch?
This little b*tch absolutely couldn’t stay at home anymore. She could just find a random man and marry him off.
Chu Yuanzhi panicked. He was now an ordinary doctor. If he could become an attending doctor in the second half of the year, his salary would be increased by one level. He could earn eight Yuan more a month.
If he jihong refused to help, he would definitely not be able to become an attending doctor on his own.
“That’s not what I meant. Jihong, don’t be angry. Health is the most important thing. Listen to my explanation. You’re wearing such rustic clothes. You Don’t look good either. It’s just two old clothes. You’ve always been the most magnanimous. Why do you have to lower yourself to the level of a Junior?”
Chu Yuanzhi was flustered. He hurriedly tried to please He Jihong. The little bit of softness he had shown his daughter before had also been washed away by his professional title.
He Jihong was secretly proud, but she still maintained her composure, she said mockingly, “Now it’s your precious daughter who’s being calculative with me. How would I dare to be calculative with her? I don’t dare to meddle in her affairs. If she says one harsh word, she’ll go to the leader and sue me. I’m very scared!”
Today, he had to suppress this little b*tch’s arrogance. Otherwise, he would not be able to live a peaceful life in the future. He Jihong looked at Chu Yuanzhi from the corner of her eyes. Her triangular eyes looked even more bitter and mean. Chu Yuanzhi, on the other hand, was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat, he was also blaming his daughter in his heart.
It was so good in the past. Now that she was causing trouble every day, she had even implicated him in not being able to get a professional title. Indeed, this daughter could not stay at home anymore. It was better to get married as soon as possible so that he could live a peaceful life.
“Qiaoqiao, kowtow to your aunt he and apologize!”
Chu Yuanzhi reprimanded her harshly. He had to make he Jihong calm down. He could only let his daughter suffer.
Chu Qiaoqiao gritted her teeth. In the past five years, she kowtowed countless times to he jihong. She was as humble as the mud, begging for this woman’s forgiveness. In fact, she was not such a weak character, but she had been beaten and scolded by Sun Yinxiu since she was young, after arriving at the Chu family, she was brainwashed by He Jihong every day. She said that she was a village girl, and she didn’t look good, so she had to work more and speak less. She had to lower her voice to be liked by others. Otherwise, people would hate her, and she wouldn’t be able to get married.
Damn it, this woman knew that she was prettier than her own daughter, Xu Bilian, so she deliberately abused her like this. No matter how good-looking a woman was, she had to lower her voice and kowtow all day long. She wouldn’t be liked by others.
“Okay, I’ll kowtow to her and apologize!”
Chu Qiao glared at Chu Yuanzhi hatefully, then shot a cold look at he jihong. This kowtow was up to He Jihong whether she could take it or not.
He Jihong’s heart sank, and she felt a little uneasy. Seeing Chu Qiao run out, she hurriedly shouted, “Come back here, Chu Yuanzhi, quickly pull her back!”
This little b*tch was definitely going to do something evil again. If it got to her father’s place, the old man would definitely scold her.
“Qiaoqiao!”
By the time Chu Yuanzhi reacted, Chu Qiaoqiao had already arrived at the corridor. With a plop, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily towards the door, “Auntie He, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have worn sister Bilian’s old clothes. I was wrong. Please forgive me!”
She kowtowed heavily again, and her voice was loud and clear. “Daddy, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have been so unappreciative and made things difficult for you. I made things difficult for you in front of Auntie he, and it even affected your job evaluation!”
It was around four o’clock in the afternoon, and everyone had woken up from their afternoon nap. When they heard that the Chu family had made a move again, they came out to watch the show. When they saw Chu Qiao kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, they were all shocked.
It was a new society now, so why was he still kowtowing and confessing?
“Chu Qiao, get up quickly. The ground is so hard!” Someone tried to pull Chu Qiao up, but Chu Qiao was kneeling on the ground, and he couldn’t move.
“Aunt he and father won’t forgive me. I don’t dare to get up.”
Chu Qiao refused to get up. She had completely offended he jihong today, and she needed some benefits. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time.
“Doctor Chu, doctor he, what’s going on now?” Chu Qiao had always been obedient. She was a big girl now, and as a parent, you have to be careful with your words. Don’t hurt the child too much!”Someone advised meaningfully.
Chu Qiao had always been quiet in the past, but today, he had made a scene twice in a row. It was obvious that he had been forced into a corner. He Jihong had been a hypocrite for five years, and finally, he showed his vicious face. He pitied Chu Qiao.

“That’s right. Children nowadays have strong self-esteem. After my daughter entered high school, I didn’t even dare to say anything harsh. One sentence is worth ten sentences. Chu Qiao is already obedient enough. He wears old clothes every day and doesn’t say a word.”
“Xu Bilian makes new clothes every two to three days, and when it’s Chu Qiao’s turn, he doesn’t even make new clothes for five years. Tsk… What’s the use of saying anything nice? Do Something Practical!”
“There are a few good stepmothers. If you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather. The old saying is right. I didn’t hear Chu Qiao say that Doctor Chu wants to be evaluated. How would he dare to stand up for his daughter?”
..
The voices of these people were not soft. He Jihong and Chu Yuanzhi in the room heard everything. Their faces turned extremely ugly, as if they had been stripped naked and hung on the city wall for public display. They had lost all face..
