Chapter 57 - 57: What a Pity



The mayor was resting at home with his eyes closed. When he heard that Yuan Jiaqi wanted to break off his ties with his family and asked him to be the witness, he was so angry that he laughed.

Recently, all these incidents revolved around Lady Qiao. She had broken off her marriage, and the husband she had taken in had also broken off his ties with his family.

Birds of a feather really flock together.

Fine, he would be a good person to the end. It was just a family without much status. So what if he offended them?

Hence, Mayor Qian acted as the witness and wrote a letter of termination on the spot. Both parties pressed their fingerprints, and the witness pressed their fingerprints.

Old Man Yuan stretched out his hand. “Give it to me?”

Yuan Jiaqi had long known that this day would come, so he had prepared for it. The silver was in his pocket. He did not give it to Old Man Yuan but to Mayor

Qian.

“Sir, please take a look.”

Mayor Qian looked at it and handed it to Old Man Yuan.

“You don’t look like you’re dressed well. Why are you so greedy for money? Who doesn’t want the child to be well?” “Lord, every family has its own difficulties.”

“Yes, your family only wants money.”

The onlookers all laughed. The Yuan family who had received the silver had left. They did not know if they would go back and remove Yuan Jiaqi from the clan records. Anyway, they had received the money. Their future days would be much quieter.

After everyone left, Yuan Jiaqi handed the letter to the mayor with both hands. “Please help me prepare a case in the county office. I will no longer be a member of the Yuan family.”

“In the future, live a good life with Lady Qiao. She’s a good person, so you have to cherish your good fortune.”

“Yes, Lord!”

Qiao Mai left after that. She wanted to go home to make dumplings and cook a few dishes to celebrate.

She was also happy for Big Brother Yuan. He finally got rid of his blood-sucking parents. He deserved a celebration.

When Yuan Jiaqi returned home, Qiao Mai had almost finished chopping the meat stuffing.

He silently entered the kitchen and hugged Qiao Mai from behind.

“Thank you. I finally got rid of the Qiao family. It’s been four years. Without you, I still don’t know how to get rid of them.”

“You, let go of me first. I have a knife in my hand.” She was just short of saying,

“Be careful, I’ll stab you.” “Yes, I’m sorry. I’m too happy.”

“Eat more if you’re happy.”

Just as Qiao Mai was mixing the stuffings, Shopkeeper Lu rushed into the courtyard.

“Sister, Sister?”

Qiao Mai came out of the kitchen and Shopkeeper Lu shouted.

“Why didn’t you say anything about such a big matter?”

Qiao Mai quickly covered her mouth and pulled her into her bedroom. “Shh, keep your voice down. I changed my mind at the last minute.”

“What happened?”

Hence, Qiao Mai told her about how the Yuan family had forced Yuan Jiaqi to marry a wife. Shopkeeper Lu was so angry that she slapped her arm.

“You’re too hasty. How can a marriage be treated as a child’s play?”

“Saving a life is a great merit, let alone two lives. When I see them, I think of the scene of me struggling to leave the Tian family. Besides, I don’t plan to get married in the future.

Shopkeeper Lu felt her heart ache as she hugged Qiao Mai in her arms. “Good girl, you’re too soft-hearted. However, this Young Master Yuan seems to be quite nice. Although you’re a fake couple, you’re going to live together. Why don’t you give each other a chance?”

“We’ll talk about it when the time comes. I don’t have the mood right now, and neither does he. We’ll just live as partners.”

“Sigh, this is the only way now. I’ve really wronged you.”

“I’m not feeling wronged. There’s one more person at home who helps me with the housework and takes care of the children. I can eat a hot meal when I come back. ”

“You’re really big-hearted. You don’t know, but when I heard this news, my head buzzed and I couldn’t believe it.”

“Because it’s a fake marriage, I didn’t discuss it with you and made my own decision.”

“Then why don’t we have a wedding drink?”

Qiao Mai burst out laughing. “Let’s wait until after the autumn harvest. Once the weather gets cold, I’ll boil the entire pot and everyone can eat together?”

“Sure, I like that one the most.”

“I’ll make lunch for you. Why don’t you stay and eat together?”

“No, I’m still busy. When I heard about you, I didn’t even care about the guests and came over. I have to go.”

“Then Sister Lu, you can go and do your work. I’ll wrap it up at noon and get

Fengyun to send it to you.”

“Alright.”

They did not have class today and knew that Yuan Jiaqi had something to do. She expressed her understanding, but she could not do anything about it even if she did not understand. Yuan Jiaqi did not accept any gifts from them, so Chen Hao could be considered to be freeloading.

When she heard about this, she came over to congratulate him and stayed behind to help make dumplings.

“I told you two were fated.”

Madam Qiao smiled and did not explain further.

“It’s good to have a man at home to help. As women, it’s really tough for us to take care of a child alone without anyone to help.”

“Then if you meet a suitable one, why don’t you remarry too?”

“Let’s talk about it later. Will there even be a suitable one?” As she spoke, she glanced at Yuan Jiaqi, who was doing some work.

Qiao Mai lowered her head to wrap the dumplings and did not see it. Actually, Madam Chen had a good impression of Yuan Jiaqi for a long time. It was just that she was a few years older than him and was also a woman. She did not have the courage to confess.

He did not expect that in just a few days, Yuan Jiaqi and Madam Qiao actually walked together. She really felt that it was a pity.

Although Shopkeeper Lu did not come to eat the dumplings, Qiao Mai still personally went over after they were done cooking. She gave the five of them a large pot, which was enough for them to eat.

When she came back, the whole family and Madam Chen and her son were waiting for her.

“The head of the family is finally back.”

“Let’s eat. The meat dumplings have to be eaten hot to taste good.”

The children were busy with their food, and Qiao Mai said while eating dumplings, “In the future, my family will have three little men.”

Chuan’er’s eyes widened as he ate and spun around.

“Auntie, can I stay at your house in the future?”

“Yes, you can move in tonight, as long as you can tidy up the house.”

Chuan ‘er quickly looked at Yuan Jiaqi. “Daddy, can I? I want to stay at Auntie’s house.”

Madam Chen smiled. “Of course, you can. In the future, your father and your aunt will be husband and wife. You don’t have to call her aunt anymore. You have to call her mother.”

Chuan’er blinked his big eyes.” Really?”

“Of course.’

“I like this auntie. She can become my mother.”

Qiao Mai smiled. “If you’re not used to it, you can call me Auntie first. You can change it in the future. There’s no rush.”

“No, no, I like Auntie, Auntie is like Mother! Mother! Mother”

Qiao Mai blushed at his cute act. “Alright, let’s eat!”

When Madam Chen and her son saw this situation, they did not stay any longer and left after eating their fill.

After the meal, Fengyun and the other two cleared the bowls and chopsticks. Yuan Jiaqi brought Qiao Mai to the east wing.

“The quails are all in the west wing. I moved them to a room and vacated three rooms. I also put the furniture back in place and cleaned the bed.”

“Then why don’t you move in today?”

“Alright, I’ll go pack my luggage. You go to the west wing and take a look. If you’re not satisfied, I’ll change it tomorrow.”

One went back to move things, while the other went to the west wing.

The sky was not completely dark yet, so she could still see inside. She saw a large shelf with a large box neatly arranged on it. When she walked closer, she saw that the quails were well inside, and the bottom was covered with straw. It was clean.

There were a total of four levels, and each level could accommodate more than a hundred of them. It was not crowded at all.

This guy was quite capable. He could even think of this. He really knew how to save space.

‘That’s right, I’ve really underestimated him. They say that scholars are

useless, but I didn’t expect this scholar to be so useful.’

She had picked up two small gains, and this time, she had picked up a big one.

His potential still needed to be developed.

Yuan Jiaqi came back with a big bag and nothing else.

Seeing Qiao Mai and the three children eating fruits in the courtyard, his heart was filled with an indescribable sense of comfort.

“Dad, come and eat the fruit quickly.”

“You guys eat. Dad will come after you have laid the bedding.”

Qiao Mai thought of Ling’er in the space and said to his two sons, “Feng’er,

Yun’er, don’t call him ‘Teacher’ anymore. Call him ‘Father’, understand?”

“Yes, Mother.”

“Mmhm, I’m tired and I’m going back to my room to rest. You guys plug the courtyard door properly and go rest later.”

Qiao Mai entered the room and locked the door into the space. Ling ‘er was playing with her hands..
