Chapter 82 Divorce

She turned to Fu Yu and asked, "Brother Yu, what is a clivia?"

It can actually sell for 80,000 yuan!

It's really valuable!

"Clivia is a perennial herbaceous plant with an elegant and graceful appearance, resembling the demeanor of a gentleman in ancient times. Its flowers resemble orchids, hence the name Clivia."

"That's grass?" Qiao Qiao asked.

"..." Fu Yu.

"A single plant can cost so much." Qiao Qiao still found it unbelievable.

She knew that her father earned between fifty and three hundred yuan per trip, depending on the time and distance.

For longer trips or longer distances, a single trip could potentially earn an average person a year's salary.

For shorter trips and closer distances, it takes about three trips.

Her father wasn't very hardworking, but he wasn't lazy either. He spent half the year driving a truck, earning about 1,500 to 2,000 yuan a year.

This is considered a considerable income in those days.

Last time at her aunt's house, she originally wanted her father to use the money her mother had left her to stop driving the car.

But Dad said that the money to buy the truck was a family investment, and the principal had not yet been earned back, so they couldn't stop. Besides, there were still five years until the date she mentioned, so they should just be careful until then.

Qiao Qiao thought about it and agreed. They couldn't be overly alarmed; the family's life had to go on.

However, she became even more determined to work hard to earn income for her family.

She asked Fu Yu, "Brother Yu, do you know what a clivia looks like?"

She could perhaps search the mountains, transplant the plants into her space, and sell them once they've grown well. She wouldn't need to sell them for 80,000; she'd be happy with 800.

Fu Yu nodded.

He had seen it at his grandfather's house.

"Wow, Brother Yu, you're amazing!" Flattery never fails, and Qiao Qiao exaggeratedly praised him.

"Brother Yu, let Dad take us to the bookstore tomorrow. Brother Yu, can you find some pictures for me?"

Fu Yu could roughly guess what she was thinking, but he also knew that good quality clivia plants were not easy to find, let alone cultivate.

But seeing the little girl's excited expression, he couldn't bring himself to say anything that would spoil the mood, and simply nodded.

"Brother Yu, have you started studying now?" Qiao Qiao remembered that Xiao Yuan had said that this chosen one had entered university at the age of fourteen.

According to the timeline, he is eight years old now, and in six years he will be able to take the college entrance exam.

Her nine-year-old cousin, Qiao Hai, is currently in the third grade.

Based on his age, he should be in second grade now. He still has three years left in elementary school, middle school, and high school. If he wants to get into university within six years, he would have to skip grades several times.

Qiao Qiao guessed that he might have started school earlier, and it was possible that he was in a higher grade than her younger cousin.

But to my surprise, Fu Yu replied, "I never went to school." However, she has a teacher at home.

Qiao Qiao stared at him in astonishment.

Is it true or not?

Doesn't that mean we have to compress eleven years into six?

This is just too incredible!

He truly deserves to be called the chosen one.

And... he knows so much without even having studied.

She lived five years longer in her previous life, but she still doesn't understand.

Qiao Qiao looked at Fu Yu's brain with a bit of envy, thinking that she wished she could have such a smart brain.

In her past life, she might have been able to discover the true purpose of that family of four much earlier.

As Qiao Qiao was thinking this, Fu Yu saw another small red bubble pop up on Qiao Qiao's forehead.

The little figure inside the bubble is holding its chin, gazing at a doll with the name "Fu Yu" written on it, its eyes sparkling with two big hearts.

The heart is still shrinking and growing with each thud.

Fu Yu was a little surprised.

He looked at the little figure in the bubble, tiptoed, and leaned towards the wooden puppet with the words "Fu Yu" written on it, wrapping his little arms around the puppet's neck...

Fu Yu's handsome face couldn't help but turn a little red.

He never expected that his sister... his sister liked him so much!

Then--

Fu Yu's handsome face, which had been flushed from his sister's affection, turned dark in an instant.

Because he saw the little person inside the bubble grab... his head!!! He turned and ran!!!

The speed was so fast, it was like a clattering drum, stirring up a layer of sand in the little bubbles, as if there were ghosts chasing us from behind.

However, there's nothing wrong with thinking that way.

If she really brainwashed him, he would definitely kick her out :)

Meanwhile, on the other side, at the entrance of the Hongfeng Town Civil Affairs Bureau, Qiao Changdong was really going to tear the heads off the Chen family members to see what kind of cow dung and dog excrement were inside.

Otherwise, how could they say such shameless things so matter-of-factly after what happened yesterday?

"Dongzi, you've already hit and scolded her yesterday, so please forgive Yulian. She was just confused for a moment when she did such a thing," Chen's mother said, standing in front of Qiao Changdong with a flattering expression.

"Grandma, don't talk nonsense. Your daughter was beaten by her lover. I didn't touch her at all."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Changdong quickly declared his innocence.

The Civil Affairs Bureau opens at nine o'clock, and it's only eight forty now, so there are several young couples waiting to register at the entrance. When they see that there's something interesting to watch with Qiao Changdong and Chen Yulian, they all come over.

Seeing Chen Yulian looking aggrieved and crying, with bloody scratches all over her face from her fingernails, he pointed at Qiao Changdong with disdain and disapproval in his eyes.

A few women wanted to step forward and criticize Qiao Changdong, but they stopped immediately upon hearing his words.

Compared to Chen's mother's humble pleas and Chen Xiu'e's reasoning and emotional appeals, Chen Yulian's attitude appears much more rigid.

But she also knew that this was her last chance.

She thought for a moment, then looked at Qiao Changdong, who was frequently checking his watch and getting impatient, and finally made a tough decision. She closed her eyes and knelt down in front of everyone at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

She kept her head down, not daring to look at Qiao Changdong's face.

With a sob in her voice, she said, "I'm sorry, Dongzi, I was wrong. Please forgive me. I promise I'll live a good life with you from now on. If you don't like Nier, I can send her away! I'll only have children for you from now on, as many as you want! Okay?"

Although Chen Yulian said this, she still harbored some resentment in her heart.

She didn't understand why Qiao Changdong could accept Qiao Qiao, that money-loser, but couldn't accept her Ni'er.

Compared to any sense of affection, Qiao Qiao was nothing more than a bastard whose birth mother was unknown.

And she, at least, is his legal wife, and there's also the bond of family ties between them.

Isn't his relationship with Qiao Qiao even deeper than theirs?

"Yes, yes, Dongzi, Yulian really knows she was wrong. Don't worry, she will definitely change her ways and live a good life with you from now on." Chen's mother nodded repeatedly.

As he spoke, he made a fierce expression and then slapped Chen Yulian across the face.

The slap from Chen's mother was truly hard, knocking Chen Yulian to the ground.

Instead of getting up, Chen Yulian lay down on the ground and cried and sobbed.
