Chapter 7

Seeing her bright smile, the two sisters agreed. “Alright, we’ll make it for you, but we don’t have meat fillings for the pancakes.”

Chu Qingzhi said sweetly, “Sisters, your culinary skills are good. Even if it’s vegetable fillings, it’ll still be delicious.”

Chu Second and Chu Fourth felt happy being praised by Chu Qingzhi.

Immediately after that, the two of them went to prepare the pancakes. There was still flour at home, and more flour would be brought back later, so there was no need to worry about running out of flour.

Chu Rong borrowed a donkey cart. The wild boar weighed close to 300 catties each.

After the wild boars were put on the donkey cart, Chu Rong covered it with a rag. Otherwise, if the villagers saw it, they might be envious and gossip.

After the donkey cart left, Chu Qingzhi took the fan and sat under the roof. The sky was not very bright yet, and the room was stuffy. She planned to sleep outside for a while.

Everyone looked at Chu Qingzhi and couldn’t help but smile. Qingzhi was their family’s lucky star. As soon as she was back, they had a windfall.

Chu Rong and Chu First were familiar with the county. They found a fair buyer and successfully sold the wild boars for forty taels of silver.

The two of them took the money and bought what Chu Qingzhi instructed them to buy.

Chu Rong took the money to the cloth shop and bought some fabrics for Chu Qingzhi to make clothes, sheets, and so on.

He made up his mind to make it up to his daughter.

..

When they returned home, Chu Second and Chu Fourth finished making the filling.

Other than the pancakes, there was also vegetable soup and a plate of side dishes. It looked quite sumptuous.

Chu Second picked up a pancake and placed it in Chu Qingzhi’s bowl. “Try the pancake I made.”

Chu Qingzhi thanked her. Then, she took a big bite and slowly chewed. “Second Sister, your culinary skills are superb. Whoever can marry you in the future will be lucky.”

Chu Second smiled shyly. “Don’t tease me.”

Chu Fourth deliberately asked, “Qingzhi, what about me?”

Chu Qingzhi quickly praised, “Fourth Sister, you are also like Second Sister. You will be a good wife and mother. In the future, if anyone wants to be the son-in-law of our Chu family, they have to be both handsome and talented.”

Chu Fourth smiled and said, “I like hearing that.”

It was rare for the Chu family to have a full meal, so everyone was very happy.

After breakfast, everyone went to work, including Chu Ninth. Chu Qingzhi and Chu Rong didn’t go.

Chu Rong stayed at home to make the bed. He wanted Chu Qingzhi to sleep in a new bed as soon as possible.

Chu Qingzhi was just lazy and did not want to work, so no one let her go.

Although no one said anything, they knew very well that Chu Qingzhi did not have a good life in her adoptive family. If she did, her skin would not be so bad, her body would not be so thin, and there would not be so many wounds on her body.

Chu Rong asked Chu Qingzhi to make clothes. Looking at the fabric, she had an idea.

After spending the entire morning, Chu Qingzhi made a dress. Although the material was ordinary, it looked exquisite and very beautiful.

She put the dress into a bag, said goodbye to Chu Rong, and left.

Chu Qingzhi cast a spell when there was no one around. She quickly arrived at the county city.

She walked around the county, then chose the largest clothes shop and walked in.

However, to her surprise, as soon as she entered, she met her adoptive mother, Madam Wang.

Ever since Madam Wang gave birth to a son, she had obtained a lot of power in the family. She was very happy and could freely withdraw money, so she came out to shop.

However, Madam Wang was not here to shop today. She was here to inspect the shop. This clothes shop was hers.

Madam Wang was dressed in silk and two maidservants followed behind her. It was obvious at a glance that she was rich.

When she saw Chu Qingzhi, she was shocked. Then, her face fell. “Chu Qingzhi, you are already taken back by your biological father. Why are you still looking for me?” historical

Chu Qingzhu was speechless. It was just a coincidence. She was not here to look for her at all.

Before Chu Qingzhi could speak, Madam Wang said in annoyance, “Chu Qingzhi, don’t come looking for me in the future. You’re just a poor girl. How can you be worthy of a rich family like us? You’ve lived in my place for more than ten years. You should be satisfied.”

Chu Qingzhi wanted to report, but she was interrupted again. “Chu Qingzhi, this is not a place for you to come. Every piece of clothing here is not something a poor girl like you can afford. Remember, Chu Qingzhi, ever since you were brought back to the Chu family, you are not associated with us.”

Chu Qingzhi rolled her eyes. “May I ask if this shop belongs to you?”

Madam Wang puffed out her chest and felt that she was superior to others. “It’s mine.”

“Alright, fortunately, you told me. Otherwise, I would have suffered a huge loss.” After saying that, Chu Qingzhi left the shop without hesitation and walked into the clothes shop opposite.

Madam Wang sneered. A poor girl was indeed a poor girl. How rude!
