The young girl bit her lip, her eyes revealing some impatience. She did not want to marry into a family with so many children. Not only would she be poor, but she also had to serve so many people. It was too tortuous.

Chu First mustered his courage and looked up at the girl. He asked, “Don’t you want to marry me?”

The girl did not dare to look into Chu First’s eyes and replied, “I don’t want to marry into your family.”

Chu First clenched his fists until veins popped out. His eyes revealed pain. He closed his eyes. “Father, Mother, agree to it.” After saying that, he tried his best to pretend to be calm and returned to his room.

The matchmaker said awkwardly, “Since we’ve made it clear, the engagement of the two children will be canceled. You two families will have nothing to do with each other.”

Chu Rong’s expression was very stiff as he said with difficulty, “Goodbye.”

The middle-aged woman pulled her daughter and walked out quickly. The matchmaker cupped her hands in apology and followed.

The Chu family fell into a gloomy mood.

Chu Qingzhi watched the three of them leave and thought to herself that with her around, this family would not be poor for long. No, this family was no longer poor.

Grandpa Chu suddenly slapped his thigh. “Now let’s work hard to sell ice cream bars and build a big house!”

These words eased the gloomy atmosphere in the Chu family a little. Everyone understood that the reason why the other party broke off the engagement was because they were poor.

Grandpa Chu took the lead and walked to the backyard. “Those who cook, continue cooking. The rest of you, go to the backyard to make ice cream bars and sell them in the county.”

The Chu family immediately got busy.

Chu Qingzhi returned to her room and continued to make clothes. Since her future sister-in-law was gone, she would make it for her Second Sister.

…

Chu First sat upright on the edge of the bed, his eyes slightly red.

He really liked his fiancée. Today, he was happily waiting for her to come to his house to talk about the marriage. In the end, what awaited him was that his engagement was canceled. This was a little unacceptable to him.

He looked around the room. It was dilapidated. It was no wonder that the girl was unwilling to marry him.

Forget it. In the future, he would work hard and earn more money. He swore that he would not let his wife suffer with him.

After channeling the disappointment into motivation, he walked out of the room to the backyard to make ice cream bars with everyone.

The Chu family tacitly did not mention what happened just now to prevent Chu First from being sad.

At noon, Chu First suddenly said to Chu Qingzhi, “Fifth Sister, give me a name too. I want to start over.”

Chu Qingzhi agreed readily and thought for a moment. “Then let’s call you… Chu Xuhua.”

Chu First liked this name very much. “From now on, my name is Chu Xuhua.”

Chu Qingzhi comforted him. “Brother, don’t think about the past. The future will be better.”

Chu Xuhua nodded. “Yes.”

…

Two hours later, a luxurious carriage drove into the Chu Village.

At this moment, it was scorching hot, so everyone hid in their houses and did not go out, so not many people saw the carriage.

The coachman stopped the carriage under the tree and asked around for the direction of Chu Qingzhi’s house. Then, the coachman continued driving towards Chu Qingzhi’s house.

The person who was asked happened to be Third Uncle.

Third Uncle stood at the door of his house and watched as the carriage drove towards the Chu family. His eyes were filled with confusion. When did the Chu family get to know such a rich family? Could it be Chu Qingzhi’s adoptive parents?

At the entrance of the Chu family, a servant girl got out of the carriage first, followed by a beautiful girl and a young madam. The servant girl took out an umbrella and held it for the two of them. Then, she shouted into the house, “May I ask if Chu Qingzhi lives here?”

Chu Qingzhi was making the dress. When she heard the voice, she quickly walked out. “Are you the servant girl of the Xu family?”

When the servant girl saw that Chu Qingzhi recognized her, she was very happy. “Miss Chu, my Miss is here to look for you personally.”

Chu Qingzhi quickly asked, “Where is she?”

The servant girl turned around and said, “Behind me.”

Chu Qingzhi quickly walked out and saw Xu Wanrong getting the coachman to unload the things from the carriage. “Wanrong.”

When Xu Wanrong heard Chu Qingzhi’s voice, she turned around and smiled. “Qingzhi.”

Xu Wanrong had combed her hair up, revealing her entire face. She had a very beautiful face, and no scars could be seen.

Chu Qingzhi walked up to her and pointed at her face. “I can’t tell you had scars on your face in the past at all.”

Xu Wanrong was overjoyed. “Qingzhi, thank you. If not for you, I would definitely be dead now.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “Don’t mention it.”

Xu Wanrong nodded. “I brought you something…”

Chu Qingzhi looked over. There were tea leaves, cloth, bowls, and a few watermelons.

Xu Wanrong pulled the young madam over. “Qingzhi, let me introduce you. This is my cousin, Sang Wanlu.” She introduced Chu Qingzhi to Sang Wanlu. “Cousin, she’s the divine doctor who cured my face.”

Chu Qingzhi said sweetly, “Hello, Cousin.”

Sang Wanlu didn’t look like she had been married for long. She had the youthfulness of a young girl and the charm of a woman. She was very good-looking. “Miss Chu, thank you for curing my sister’s face.”
