"Good, good, good."

"I, Wang, apologize to this lady here. Her handkerchief did not cause anyone to get a rash. I was jealous of her good business. I made it up and purposely let the word out." Shopkeeper Wang saluted and said to the people at the door.

Zhao Ajiao looked at all of this and felt that she had finally made up her mind. No matter what, as long as it was someone who was making things difficult for her, she would return it all in the future.

"Is that all? My aunt. " Manager Wang turned around and spoke to Zhao Ajiao like a pug.

"Yes, but, Manager Wang, if you continue to speak like this in the future, then it won't be as simple as I'm throwing my weight around today." Zhao Ajiao threatened Manager Wang.

"No, no, please leave."

Zhao Ajiao pushed the crowd aside and left cleanly. Shopkeeper Wang was indeed a sycophant. After seeing Zhao Ajiao leave, he even sent her off with a fawning look on his face.

Today, Zhao Ajiao was upset. Although she had taught Manager Wang a good lesson just now, she still felt that something was missing.

Luckily, when he returned home, he saw Mrs Yu sitting in the yard, embroidering a handkerchief.

"Mother." Zhao Ajiao acted like a little girl.

"You're back. How about selling it today?" Mrs Yu did not stop her needlework as she asked casually.

"It's quite good. Mother, you and I will learn to weave this. This way, we can share a bit of your burden." Zhao Ajiao didn't mention that she had been falsely accused. She held a handkerchief in her hand and also wanted to try to embroider it.

In her previous life, Zhao Ajiao loved to work by hand and was naturally familiar with needlework. However, the ancient needles seemed to be able to understand human nature. No matter how Zhao Ajiao fiddled with them, she was unwilling to go into the needle hole obediently.

"No more embroidery. I'm so angry." Zhao Ajiao was so angry that her face turned red. She angrily threw the needle and thread along with the handkerchief in her hand onto the table.

"This should be like this. You see, isn't this good?" Mrs Yu couldn't help but laugh as she looked at Zhao Ajiao, who was on the verge of death. Picking up the needle and thread, Mrs Yu's hands seemed to have a soul as the needle and thread were especially obedient. From top to bottom, Mrs Yu very quickly finished embroidering a peony flower.

Zhao Ajiao followed Mrs Yu's steps and learned them bit by bit. Coupled with the techniques from her past life, even though she had wasted a long time, she was still able to weave out a crooked Purple Vine Flower.

The mother and daughter pair sat in the courtyard embroidering. Soon, the sky turned dark.

The family could only get together during meals, and this was the time where most conflicts occurred.

"Lao'er, I say, how long has it been since you last went down to the ground and worked? Is it not right for you to stay home and do nothing while we toil in the fields every day? " Mrs Zhang said in an extremely sour tone as she held a head in her hand.

"Eldest sister-in-law, this …" Mrs Yu knew she was in the wrong, but she had been busy the whole time.

"Lao'er, what are you doing at home every day? We only have so little land, and your family has so many people, yet they eat ours, live with us, and don't go back to work. Do you even want to show your face?" Zhao Fugui couldn't take it anymore either, he was already tired out from working every day.

"Big brother, we …" Zhao Youcai stuttered and didn't speak quickly at all.

"You don't work every day, and you still want to eat our food? No wonder all of them are cheap hooves." It wasn't something a girl should say at all when Zhao Zhenzhu said those words.

"That's right, mother. If they don't work, they should be chased out of their homes. Our family was originally short on food, so we don't need to feed those useless people." Mrs Zhang sowed discord.

It was unknown whether he was truly afraid of being kicked out or the prestige of Mrs Feng and Old Man Zhao, but Zhao Youcai still spoke the truth.

"Father, Mother, Chuntao didn't go to work because she wanted to embroider a handkerchief. Every day, Ajiao would take it out to sell, so Chuntao stayed at home every day to embroider a handkerchief. " Zhao Youcai remained silent.

How could she have such a stupid father? Zhao Ajiao thought.

Zhao Lanlan was also surprised to hear Zhao Youcai's words.

"Embroidered handkerchief? Lao'er, are you joking? Even if you're afraid of being chased out, you don't need to say that. " Mrs Zhang's face was filled with disbelief as she waited to see Zhao Youcai become a joke.

"It's true. Look, Chuntao just finished embroidery today. " Due to his fatigue, Zhao Youcai's hands were covered in wrinkles. He carefully took out the map of the Spring River and the Moon that Mrs Yu had just finished embroidering and handed it to Mrs Feng.

"How much is this for?" Mrs Feng took a glance and saw that the embroidery was indeed very good.

"Six coins." Since Zhao Youcai had already said everything, Zhao Ajiao had no way to stop him. Since she couldn't scold him anymore, she could only listen.

"Then you guys earned a lot of money. Lao'er, you're making a lot of money, aren't you going to give us some?" Mrs Zhang peeked at the handkerchief. It was very delicate, and since she couldn't embroider anything like it, she wanted to find some benefits from it.

"This... "After all, this is Ajiao's own problem." Zhao Youcai was hesitant to agree.

"I won't give it to you." Zhao Ajiao hadn't said a word previously, but when it came to splitting the money, she had directly refused.

"Why aren't you giving it to us? Your family has so many people, and they don't work every day, and they even eat so much food from our family. Now that you've made money, you should give it to us." Mrs Feng arrogantly said, holding a handkerchief.

"I said I won't give you a penny." Zhao Ajiao suddenly stood up. Her tone was firm and her eyes held an unprecedented fearlessness.

"You slut, are you going to give it or not?" Mrs Zhang was so angry that she started cursing. She pinched Zhao Lanlan's arm, causing her to scream out in pain.

"Like I said, I won't give it to you. You bully us everyday, now that I'm earning money, what does it have to do with you?" Also, you are not allowed to look for us in the future. " Zhao Ajiao gave Zhao Duo'er a backhand slap.

"Zhao Ajiao, you b * tch, do you even have any shame? You actually dared to hit me. I'll fight you to the death. " Zhao Duo'er was slapped in the air. She was so angry that she jumped up and tried to grab Zhao Ajiao's hair.

"What's wrong with me? Zhao Duo'er, don't you know what good deed you have done for yourself?" In order to escape from this family, you want to seduce every man who looks rich. Aren't you the same now? " Zhao Ajiao initially didn't want to talk about this matter, but today she had already exposed her true colors.

"Zhao Ajiao, you bitch, how did you know? AHH!" Zhao Duo'er rushed at Zhao Ajiao like a madman.

Zhao Ajiao reacted first and dodged Zhao Duo'er's charge. Zhao Duo'er fell to the ground, looking as if she was in extreme pain.

"Zhao Ajiao, you're rebelling, aren't you? Because of you, our family has never had a good life. Just asking for this small amount of money for you right now, are you going to beat everyone in the family to death?" Mrs Zhang's expression was hideous as she spoke the most vicious words.

"Like I said, I won't give you any of this money. Dream on. " With that, Zhao Ajiao turned and left. Mrs Zhang, on the other hand, was so angry that the roots of her teeth on the spot were itching.

Seeing Zhao Ajiao leave, the furious Zhao Zhenzhu immediately grabbed Zhao Lanlan and Zhao Yong'an. Zhao Youcai wanted to stop her, but he didn't dare to.

"Pearl, stop pinching Lanlan and Yong'an. Mom, we will talk about the money with Ajiao." Mrs Yu was usually weak, so she could only compromise and plead with Mrs Feng.

"Alright, I can't take care of that b * tch Zhao Ajiao. Can't I take care of you? Remember this. Mrs Yu, if you don't want the money, just wait to be kicked out." Mrs Feng clenched her hands tightly. The handkerchief in her hands had become deformed due to the force of her grip, giving off the appearance of someone who deeply loved money.

Mrs Yu didn't say anything, but kept wiping her face with her hands. It could be seen that Mrs Yu was crying.

After the meal, everyone returned to their rooms.

Zhao Ajiao was so angry that she went back to the inner room to continue embroidering a handkerchief.

"Ajiao, can you not be so stubborn? Why don't we give the money to your grandma?" In the end, Mrs Yu chose to compromise.

When Zhao Ajiao heard Mrs Yu's words, she threw away the embroidery work in her hands and looked up to Mrs Yu, saying, "Mother, I won't give them any, not even a cent. You don't have to persuade me, this is money that we have earned by our own hard work, why should we give it to them? If you want money, wait for your next life. "

Mrs Yu's expression instantly became conflicted. She hesitantly said to Zhao Ajiao, "Ajiao, if you don't give them your milk and your milk, she'll kick us out of here." We have nothing to do with it, but Lanlan and Yong'an can't stand it. " As she spoke, Mrs Yu began to cry again.

Mother, what are you afraid of? She kicked us out of the house so we didn't need her to care. We directly told them to split up their families. Zhao Ajiao said resolutely.

Ajiao, you unfilial daughter, how can you say that we're going to split up? No one ever said that they're going to split up, you unfilial daughter. Hearing that Lili wanted to split the family, Zhao Youcai slapped her angrily.

"Dad, I say, is it interesting if you hit me? The one bullying you isn't me, but the old lady you've always respected. I won't say anything if she bullies you, but what right do you have to make my mother suffer alongside you!" Zhao Ajiao's eyes were vicious and her mouth was bleeding. She kept staring at Zhao Youcai and did not give in at all.

"I... Do you believe that I will beat you to death? " Zhao Youcai was rendered speechless by Zhao Ajiao's words. He raised his hand, intending to slap Zhao Ajiao again. Zhao Ajiao reflexively closed her eyes.

"I won't give in. Even if you beat me to death, I won't give them a single cent. I will also return to them all that I have suffered today. " Zhao Ajiao opened her eyes, her eyes filled with hatred. In her heart, she no longer acknowledged Zhao Youcai as her father.
