The Chief Minister's Ferocious Wife

How Dare They Try to Get Away?

Xie Jun’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“Don’t be surprised. Good things must come to those who survive,” Zhao Chuchu stroked Xie Jun’s head, and then said, “I have a lot of skills. I used to hide them because I didn’t want to cause any trouble.”

“Really?” Xie Jun looked over at Xie Heng.

Xie Heng nodded.

So Xie Jun believed her.

“Isn’t my sister-in-law amazing?” said Xie Jun.

“Yup.”

However, there was one thing she was not good at.

It was cooking!

Fortunately, the cooling skill of the original owner was also not good. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be easy for her to cover it up.

“Sister-in-law, can you also cure my brother’s eyes?” Xie Jun said with expectation in his eyes.

“I can give it a try,” Zhao Chuchu said.

“Brother, it’s great! My sister-in-law said she can cure your eyes.”

Xie Jun was overjoyed.

Looking at his bright smile, Xie Heng’s mood was also infected by him and became great.

Zhao Chuchu said, “I am going to cook.”

These were the jobs that the original owner once did. Naturally, Zhao Chuchu had to take them over before she left the Xie family.

Now she was no longer the original owner.

It was just that nobody suspected her of anything under the cover of Xie Heng.

The rice vat in the kitchen was empty, and the cooking oil and the salt were gone as well.

Zhao Chuchu remembered the Xie family didn’t seem to be so poor before the original owner became ill.

It was all gone!

Except for the weirdos of the Zhao family, Zhao Chuchu could not think of anyone else.

She had barely anything other than food in her space.

She had hoarded so many supplies that she planned to wait until the last phase of the age to find a remote place and rely on the supplies in the space to live happily ever after.

Who would have thought that a man with no morals would kill her with something thrown from a high building?

It was sad to die that way.

Zhao Chuchu got some rice out of her space and made a simple congee with vegetables.

She had no other option. Cooking vegetables was a waste of time for someone who couldn’t cook.

Zhao Chuchu brought out the cooked congee.

Xie Heng said in surprise, “Is there any rice in the rice vat?”

Zhao Chuchu stopped for a moment and then said, “There’s not much left, so I made the congee.”

“Hmm.” Xie Heng got up and went back to the room. In a moment, he took out a piece of broken silver weighing about one tael. He said, “After the meal, go to the village and see if anyone sells rice. Just buy enough rice for tonight. Then please go to town tomorrow and buy some more rice.”

Zhao Chuchu didn’t take the silver, but asked Xie Jun, “Those who didn’t pay the silver didn’t send any grain?”

“No.”

“How dare they try to get away with what they owe me?”

Xie Jun said, “You were not at home, so I dared not go after them for debts. I’m sorry, sister-in-law. I’m useless.”

Xie Jun was wringing his fingers in embarrassment with his head down.

Zhao Chuchu held his shoulder and said earnestly, “Junjun, it has nothing to do with you. Don’t take it upon yourself. You are still a child. Even if you went for it, you would not get it back or would even get yourself hurt. Knowing that you are not an opponent of others, it is right for you to choose to avoid their edge. You have to remember that you should never foolishly strike a stone with an egg, Ok? ”

Hearing her, Xie Jun stared up at Zhao Chuchu.

“The best thing you can do is not make things difficult for others.”

“So I did the right thing?” asked Xie Jun.

“Absolutely.”

Xie Jun’s eyes lit up right at that moment.

Xie Heng was listening to their conversation without saying a word. His probing eyes fell on Zhao Chuchu.

“Come on, Let’s have some congee first. I’ll take you to collect the money later!” Zhao Chuchu pulled Xie Jun to the table and then went to help Xie Heng.

Xie Heng asked, “Are you going to intimidate them?”

“Or what?” said Zhao Chuchu.

Xie Heng said, “You can do it another way. You should let the Chief go and ask them for the debt they owe you.”

Zhao Chuchu raised her eyebrows slightly.

Xie Heng went on to say, “Let others do the things that offend people. They owe you.”
