Qiao Ruoxi looked at the room full of melon shells and fruit skins, then looked at the mother and daughter who were both exhausted. She couldn’t help but reply, “I’ve already washed my clothes for the whole afternoon. Why didn’t you let Cousin Ruyi wash the dishes?”

Su Ruyi raised her thin eyebrows and pouted. “Cousin, can’t you see that Mom is helping me apply nail polish?”

Jiang Yan saw her reluctance and looked displeased.

“I told you to wash it. Why do you have so much nonsense to say? Haven’t you always been the one washing the dish? Don’t think of yourself as a noble person just because you’ve been working in the city for a few days. Your cousin is living a happy life as a rich man’s wife. How can she wash dishes? How precious are her hands?”

‘Only Su Ruyi’s hands were precious, but other people’s hands are not, huh?’

She used to be a pampered little princess who was loved by her parents. But now, she was being bullied.

Jiang Yan was getting more and more unreasonable. Before her grandparents died, they would not dare to be so unreasonable.

Ever since the old man passed away, Jiang Yan had been acting like the mistress of the Su family ever since she became a member of the family.

Su Ruyi raised her chin at her with a smug look in her eyes. Qiao Ruoxi knew that there was no point in saying anything more.

If a dog bites you, are you going to bite it back?

In the kitchen, the sink was filled with pots and pans. It seemed that the bowls that had been used for several meals had been accumulated here.

She rolled up her sleeves and got back to work. While she was washing the dishes, Jiang Yan kept nagging.

“Your cousin has already married a rich man. Do you know how rich her in-laws are?”

“Your cousin-in-law is the son of the big boss of the construction factory, a rich second-generation heir, do you know that? He drives around in an Otto.”

Su Ruyi kicked her mother and corrected her, “It’s not an Otto, it’s an Audi.”

“Oh, right, it’s an Audi. It costs hundreds of thousands!”

“If you’re not convinced, you should find a rich husband and live a good life. But how are you as lucky as your sister?

“Now that the Qiao family has fallen, you’re nothing but a fallen phoenix. Don’t even think about flying high.”

Qiao Ruoxi agreed in her heart. ‘Yes, I’m not as good as a chicken, not as good as you and your children.’

“I think you should agree to the Xu family’s marriage. The Xu family’s child is at least the head of the bricklayer team. He’s more than good enough for you.”

“Don’t overestimate yourself. If not for me and your uncle, who would want you like this?”

“Think about it. If you miss out on such a good man, it will be hard to find one in the future.”

Qiao Ruoxi threw away the rag and hugged her head. Her head was hurting from the noise.

She really didn’t want to listen to Jiang Yan’s nonsense anymore. She knew what Jiang Yan was thinking.

She had set her mind on finding her a man to marry so that she could marry her off as soon as possible and use her to exchange for a betrothal gift.

Ha, what a dream.

After washing the dishes and cleaning the house, Qiao Ruoxi decided to go back to her room to visit her mother.

Jiang Yan stopped her again. “If you’re done with your work, go to the market and buy some groceries. Make dinner. Oh right, buy some fresh prawns. Ruyi loves prawns.”

‘Go to hell!’

Qiao Ruoxi scolded her in her heart but she still advised herself not to be agitated or angry because being angry was not good for her health.

After adjusting her emotions, Qiao Ruoxi went out to buy groceries. She walked to the main door and met her brother, Qiao Rongjing, who had just returned from school.

“Sis! Sis… when did you come back?”

Rong Jing greeted her happily.

“Little Jing.”

Qiao Ruoxi pulled her brother into her arms, kissed him, and rubbed his little head.
