"I don't really want to visit relatives. It's boring to talk to them. It's just the same old things over and over again."

Zhou Pingping pinched her throat and began to pretend to speak in the voices of the aunts and uncles.

"Are you married yet? Have you taken the college entrance exam? Oh, you got in. That's amazing. You're worthy of being Mayor Zhou's daughter... That'll be fine in the future. I'll find a good young man of equal status to marry, and then I won't have to worry about anything..."

Yao Jingxue was amused by her, "Hahahaha...very vivid and vivid, it's indeed the case."

"Yeah, they can't talk about anything else except these boring comparisons. It's really boring."

Zhou Pingping curled her lips and spoke again,

"After spending a long time with real people like you, I no longer like those hypocritical communications."

Yao Jingxue nodded again to show her agreement.

"What have you been busy with? I asked you to come out for dinner before the New Year, but you didn't show up. You also didn't show up at Jiang Xiaoran's wedding." Zhou Pingping asked curiously.

"I went to the wedding, paid the gift money and left first." Yao Jingxue explained, and then continued, "I was busy selling scarves and hats to make money."

"There are indeed more small vendors now. I didn't expect that you are also running a small business. How is it? Do you make a lot?" Zhou Pingping asked with interest.

"Not bad." Yao Jingxue just said it briefly, not afraid that she would steal her business. What a joke. She is the eldest daughter of an official family, how could she be short of money?

Even if I want to do business in the future, I won’t do a small business like hers.

"Wow, you are amazing! You can make so much money just by wearing that scarf and hat." Zhou Pingping praised, "I found that I still underestimated you. Apart from Song Chuyu, you are the hidden master among us."

Yao Jingxue's face turned red when she was praised by her. She blushed because she felt unworthy and ashamed.

"I, I'm not as good as you say. I was just messing around. I was sent to prison before, and this unrepentant man is messing around again."

Yao Jingxue laughed at herself.

"The situation is different now. I heard from my father that they will gradually open up the self-employed sector and no longer have a planned economy, but a market economy or something like that."

Zhou Pingping encouraged her with a smile, "You don't have to be afraid. You are just selling things. I don't think they will arrest you again."

"Yeah, I feel relieved to hear you say that." Yao Jingxue thanked her again, and seeing that it was getting late, she said,

"My mother should be back soon. If you don't want to face her warm reception, you can leave first."

"...I've never seen you chase away guests like this." Zhou Pingping looked at her speechlessly, "Well, then I'll leave first and come to play with you another day."

"...Goodbye." Yao Jingxue saw her out.

Just as she left the house, Zhang Hongmei came back. Seeing Zhou Pingping, her eyes lit up and she greeted her warmly,

"Oh, Pingping, why are you leaving so soon? Come eat at home, I'm going to kill a chicken now, please don't leave!"

"...Auntie, no, really no, I have something else to do at home, so I'll leave first and come to see you another day."

Zhou Pingping understood what Yao Jingxue meant by a warm welcome, and quickly escaped with a smile.

Yao Jingxue waved at her and found it quite funny that she left with a look of escape.

"Jingxue, why don't you keep anyone here? That's so rude." Zhang Hongmei continued to nag Yao Jingxue.

Yao Jingxue hummed in response, but didn't take it to heart.

Why are you so enthusiastic when you won't have much interaction with each other in the future? It just makes people feel embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, starting from the second year of junior high school, Zhou Pingping would come to chat with her every two or three days and complain to her that Song Jinhua wanted to pursue her and then marry her.

Yao Jingxue,...

"How could I possibly marry him again? Even though he seems to be repentant and responsible now, after what I've suffered, there's no way I'd ever marry him again."

Zhou Pingping spoke.

"Yeah, men are no good. Don't look for a man. We are living well enough on our own." Yao Jingxue said.

Zhou Pingping looked at her strangely. "Well, aren't you looking for a partner for your mother? And you still say it's better to be without a man?"

"I am me and my mother is my mother, we are different," said Yao Jingxue.

"I heard that you were married once and then divorced. Has your ex-husband ever come to see you?" Zhou Pingping asked curiously.

"I did look for him, but my brother beat him up and drove him away every time. He didn't dare to come to me again after coming two or three times." Yao Jingxue said with a smile.

"Just for this reason, I will especially remember my brother's kindness. If it weren't for him, I would definitely be depressed by my ex-husband."

"It's great to have a brother." Zhou Pingping was envious when she heard this, and asked in confusion, "Why have I never met your brother?"

"He doesn't live with us and doesn't like to interact with people. He usually does wood carving at home. Oh, he also goes to work."

Yao Jingxue said, pointing to the God of Wealth on the table,

"That God of Wealth was made by my brother. Isn't his craftsmanship pretty good?"

"Great, great! I thought you bought it from somewhere." Zhou Pingping suddenly became interested. "Your brother is so skilled, can I ask him to make a set of furniture for me?"

"As long as you pay, there's no problem," said Yao Jingxue.

"Look at what you said. Of course I will pay." Zhou Pingping glared at her speechlessly. "I'll ask Chu Yu to draw a design for me and send it to me. Then I'll come to your brother to order it."

"Okay." Yao Jingxue nodded, hesitated for a moment and said, "You should know that I am also Song Chuyu's brother, right?"

"I know. I understand your complicated relationship." Zhou Pingping said, "Why, Chu Yu and your brother don't have a good relationship?"

"On the contrary, they have a very good relationship, closer than to me, their biological sister." Yao Jingxue pouted and said with a little jealousy.

Alas, she can never compare to Song Chuyu in anything. Although she will not provoke Song Chuyu for this reason, it still does not stop her from being depressed.

"It's normal, it's normal, calm down, Song Chuyu is just so likable, I like her too, hehe, if it weren't for her, I would still be stuck in my relationship with Shen Jinhua."

Zhou Pingping spoke.

Hearing her talk about this again, Yao Jingxue was still a little curious.

In her previous life, Zhou Pingping and Shen Jinhua were deeply in love, and no matter how she tried to destroy or break them up, it was useless. Later, they got married and had two children.

She didn't know whether they were truly happy or not, but at least in the eyes of outsiders, they were happy and a model couple who had come through hardships before finally achieving happiness.

However, the gap in this life is too big. She is very curious about what Song Chuyu did to make Zhou Pingping stop loving Shen Jinhua.
