269 That’s What You Got?
Yuan Hui’s cousin screamed. “Yuan Hui! I’m your cousin.”
“You are not the only cousin raised by the Yuan clan. It doesn’t matter if you live here and we have to spend some money on you, but if you dare to be arrogant and treat yourself as the master here, then we don’t want you to stay here.”
Yuan Hui did not care about her cousin’s feelings at all.
The Yuan clan was wealthy and powerful. They were able to keep an idler in their house.
!!
But Yuan Hui would not let her cousin interfere in her affairs.
Yuan Hui’s cousin cried bitterly and wanted Yuan Hui to forgive her.
Yuan Hui didn’t even look at her.
Then Yuan Hui’s cousin turned to beg Zhao Chuchu.
Zhao Chuchu was completely indifferent in front of her.
Yuan Hui’s cousin never thought she would be kicked out of the house of the Yuan clan for putting on airs once.
She could not help shivering at the thought of endless work after returning home. And there were no more beautiful clothes, jewelry, or money.
“I admit that it was my fault. Chuchu, please forgive me. I will never dare to do this again. Otherwise, you are just killing me.”
Zhao Chuchu was speechless after hearing what Yuan Hui’s cousin said.
Now Yuan Hui’s cousin was talking nonsense.
“Miss, I’ve never forced you to scold me, have I? You are older than me, right? Now you don’t know that you are the reason why you are going to be kicked out of the house of the Yuan clan. Instead, you start to blame me, huh? Can you at least use your brain? Or are you just a dumbass?”
Zhao Chuchu did not want to be respectful to this kind of guy.
Yuan Hui’s cousin felt angry and ashamed.
“You tried your best to have a good relationship with Yuan Hui just because you wanted to benefit from her, right? I’ve seen many people like you who are vicious. Don’t think I don’t know what you want to do after you can stay in the Yuan clan. Do you want to marry my two cousins?”
“Well, well, well. I think that’s what you were planning, right? Don’t think others are as low as you. Not everyone is like you, Miss. Men cannot always save your ass. Besides, why do you think I lack money?”
“You…”
“I may have more money than the Yuan clan, but it’s impossible for you to see it from your perspective. Forget it. You know nothing about money. I don’t think you can understand what I want to say. You can only be men’s ass kisser.”
Yuan Hui’s cousin was furious at that time.
She pointed at Zhao Chuchu and didn’t say anything for a long time.
Zhao Chuchu smiled instead.
This time, Yuan Hui’s cousin was irritated.
“Well, that’s what you got? How dare you put on airs in front of me?” Zhao Chuchu sniffed.
Yuan Hui then said, “I don’t really like her. She often goes to my two younger brothers. Although I don’t like my mother, my two younger brothers are good-natured. She didn’t get what she wanted.”
“I think all people could see through her. She always pretended to be innocent. However, she had done a lot of bad things. Even if she tried so hard, she still failed. After all, my mother would not accept such a daughter-in-law. ”
Zhao Chuchu said, “She wanted me to make her more beautiful. If she could be nicer, I may teach her one or two ways to improve her appearance. But she came to me in a domineering way. Then that was never going to happen.”
“Forget about her. Didn’t you say you were going to do the business of beauty care? Three days later, the ladies in the county will hold a poetry and literature gathering, which the prestigious families of Guangqing Province attend. Would you like to go?”
Zhao Chuchu had not participated in the ancient girls’ gathering yet. She certainly wanted to see what ancient girls would do when they got together.
“Okay. Are there any requirements for that poetry and literature gathering? Seriously, I’ve been in the county for a while and haven’t seen any close friends of yours. If you take me there, will there be any trouble?”
“They can laugh at me. Even if I don’t go, they will still laugh at me. I’m used to it. But if I take you there this time, they won’t be laughing at me anymore.”
“Okay, let’s go together. But you must tell me who the people are and their tempers.”
Through Yuan Hui’s explanation, Zhao Chuchu knew that this so-called poetry and literature gathering was a stage for those girls in Guangqing Province to show their talents.
Although it was a poetry and literature gathering, it included music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
Zhao Chuchu had not studied ancient poems, and she was not going to use the representative works of those famous poets to pretend to be good at it.
However, Zhao Chuchu was quite good at music and chess.
After all, she had learned them.
Yuan Hui patted Zhao Chuchu on the shoulder and said, “Chuchu, you must show them how powerful you are. I can’t stop them from laughing at me. It’s your show time.”
Zhao Chuchu laughed and said, “When you say that, I suddenly feel so stressed. What should I do? I know almost nothing about poetry or painting.”
“It doesn’t matter. It will be okay if you have one thing better than them. You could always let them see your medical skills. To tell the truth, Chunxiang is not the only one with skin problems. Especially those daughters of rich families who have blemishes on their faces. They tried their best to make themselves talented.”
“Why?”
“For a good marriage.”
Yuan Hui sighed.
Although those girls often laughed at Yuan Hui, Yuan Hui knew that they actually envied her.
After all, she could still decide about her marriage, but they could not. They could only accept the arrangements of their families.
Only if they had good reputations could they be liked by those respected families.
Yuan Hui felt sad occasionally.
“What about you? Is there a marriage arrangement?”
“No, my grandmother was going to make arrangements for me, but unexpected things happened. My stepmother would not interfere in my marriage, so it was delayed. However, I am only fifteen this year. It is not so late. Don’t worry. I can stay in the Yuan clan if I can’t get married.”
Zhao Chuchu patted her on the shoulder and said, “Your idea is good, but it takes a lot of courage to make such a decision. If you are sure that you can withstand the strong pressure from others, I support you.”
“If you can’t, you’d better start to see whether there is a suitable family now. It’s nothing shameful to take the initiative. Anyway, you will have to live with someone in the future. Don’t be shy. ”
“Is that how you married Xie Heng?”
...
“Me? Almost.”
Zhao Chuchu’s marriage with Xie Heng was completely unusual and could not be taken as an example.
She took the initiative.
If Zhao Chuchu liked Xie Heng, she should take the initiative. If she dared not take the initiative, she should never say that she liked him.
People could only live for a few decades. No matter what the future holds, they should always seize the moment and make decisions they will not regret in the future.
And Zhao Chuchu always did so.
