Chapter 210 What I Want to Be is the Legal Wife

Luo's mother-in-law, who was also Zhao's biological mother, Yang, heard the commotion and came to ask.

"No, nothing! Hehe, I'm scolding the dog! I don't know where this dog came from, it's always stealing food!"

Luo dared not spout nonsense in front of her mother-in-law, but Yang was no pushover.

Madam Yang didn't think much of it; she was too lazy to pay attention to her eldest daughter-in-law, who was always shirking her duties and loved to gossip.

When Wang from the Zhou family heard this, she was initially angry, but Zhou Yuzhu quickly calmed her down. Zhou Yuzhu simply said, "Mother, it seems like we gave you too little money. Should we count it again?"

Upon hearing that her money had decreased, Wang no longer cared about anything else; everything else was trivial!

She now helps her daughter with chores and receives money every day; she's incredibly happy!

The daughter kept her word and really gave her the money, which made the sons very envious!

Even though she's my own daughter, I can't skimp on the money that's rightfully mine!

So when Wang heard that the money was less than expected, she got anxious and rushed to count it again.

These days, having any income is extremely rare. She hasn't received any copper coins in a long time, and she's almost forgotten what copper coins taste like!

My daughter is right. People shouldn't be too greedy. They have to take it one step at a time. Don't underestimate small amounts of money; they add up! If you don't have the ability, even if a lot of money falls from the sky, you might not be able to catch it, and you might even get hurt!

Look, she's making money every day and has saved quite a bit!

More and more people like my daughter's bean sprouts, and with more buyers, we make more money!

Counting money every day and watching your wallet bulge is truly a joy in life!

Qin's family didn't react much; they all happily replied that they would come.

Since Qin Youming made a name for himself in the rice noodle business and started making money, his brothers who had been watching from the sidelines finally stopped watching and started learning how to make rice noodles from him.

If we keep waiting and watching, others will have already made a fortune!

Forget about whose it is, just look at your own brother. Those buyers have a high eye for quality; as long as they're doing well, they'll buy them all!

Do you understand what "take it all" means?

That's all money! There's no need to worry about finding buyers, and the prices aren't low either!

Anyone who doesn't do it is a fool; they'd rather be throwing away money!

The Qin family, who were not initially very close, gradually came together.

The news that the Mo family had built a new house could not be kept secret and spread very quickly.

Liu Jingqiu heard it from so far away. She was filled with hatred, gritted her teeth, and cursed Su Nanxi's ancestors countless times.

A big house with blue bricks? Ha! If they're so rich, why can't they help her out a bit!

She lives a difficult life every day. If you could help her, she wouldn't be in this situation!

If I can't come up with ways to make money for her, I can at least introduce her to a job!

She desperately needs money! It's so hard to be broke!

She lived such a miserable life, so why did that ugly and mute person get to live so well?

She clearly looks like a maid, but once she's taken in by a farmer, she becomes someone else's treasure and then refuses to admit it. Does she even have the right to deny it?

She knew very well what life was like in wealthy families, and she didn't believe that ugly woman was so pure and innocent!

If she's not having a good time, no one else should either!

Compared to Liu Jingqiu's resentment, Qiu Huiling's reaction was quite different.

Qiu Huiling didn't hear it from Wang Shi herself; she rarely saw Wang Shi, but that didn't stop her from hearing what she wanted to hear.

Her first reaction was, "Great!"

She knew the Mo family would build a new house, but she never expected it to be so sudden and such a pleasant surprise!

The mother and daughter were worried about finding a place to stay. This dilapidated house was really unsafe to live in. Things kept falling down while they were sleeping, which was really scary!

Finding a new place to stay is not easy. They have no money or resources, so who would be willing to let them stay?

If she marries into the family, wouldn't that solve everything?

There's no need for her to stay elsewhere; this is her home!

Qiu Huiling immediately ran back and told her mother, Zhao, what she was thinking.

Zhao was immediately enraged. Her finger trembled as she pointed at Qiu Huiling's nose, speechless for a long time.

Qiu Huiling stubbornly gritted her teeth, letting her mother point and scold her, knowing that her mother couldn't understand her for the time being.

Zhao closed her eyes one last time, her hands falling limply to her sides, her words filled with sorrow, "You know how bitter my old path was, why do you still want to repeat it?"

Qiu Huiling raised her head and argued, "I have no intention of following in my mother's footsteps! What I want is the position of the legal wife!"

Zhao was taken aback, opened her eyes, and was still puzzled. "Didn't you say that young master is already married? You want to be a concubine? Isn't that being inferior? Why bother to be subservient? Wouldn't it be better to find a well-off family and be the principal wife?"

Qiu Huiling frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "What I want is a legal wife, not a concubine! I have never thought of competing with anyone for favor or power!"

Zhao was also furious, and her words became sharp, "The other man's legal wife is still here, what are you doing being a legal wife! Are all the men in the world dead! Why do you have to rush to cling to him! You haven't even competed for his favor yet, it's not even a sure thing, and you're already trying to compete!"

When Qiu Huiling saw her mother start yelling in anger, fearing that she might suffocate if she couldn't catch her breath, she suddenly realized that she couldn't be so stubborn.

Zhao was still struggling to breathe, coughing until her face turned pale. Qiu Huiling was so frightened that she dared not say anything and quickly stepped forward to help her catch her breath.

Once Zhao Shi had calmed down and stopped coughing, Qiu Huiling slowly spoke, "Mother, please listen to me first, don't rush! You don't understand the situation of the Mo family, you don't understand me, I don't blame you, and please don't get sick from getting angry, okay?"

She then told Zhao what she was thinking.

After listening, Zhao was silent for a moment, then asked, "Are you telling the truth? Will the young master really divorce his wife and remarry?"

Qiu Huiling nodded firmly, "Yes! Really! The Mo family will be a big and prosperous family in the future, so they will definitely need a daughter-in-law who can manage the household. That mute woman is not suitable. Not only can she not speak, but she is also very ugly. She can't be an eyesore! I am the most suitable. I dare say that I am the most beautiful one in the neighborhood. As you know, I have studied how to manage a household, so I am the most suitable candidate! When I marry into the Mo family, I will bring you here too, and you won't have to suffer so much!"

Zhao was starting to waver. If that were true, then her daughter would have a chance to become the principal wife!

But she still had questions: "They certainly wouldn't divorce their wives for no reason, and besides, you can't just rush into it yourself. How do you resolve this?"

Qiu Huiling said dismissively, "Mother, you've been through a lot of fighting, so naturally you need to plan things out! We can use some tricks to defeat them one by one, right? That mute girl is an unknown person, so we can start our scheme from there!"

After thinking for a moment, Zhao nodded, agreeing with her daughter's words. If you want to get what you want, using tricks and schemes is essential!

Since her daughter wasn't eager to become someone's concubine, she didn't need to stop her. Instead, she helped her daughter plan things out, hoping it would lead to a better life!

"What is the mute girl's background?"
