“He should take a good look at himself in a mirror! Hmph! He has no job, no local household registration, no house, broke as hell, and yet he has a whole list of demands. Does he think he’s Tang Monk? That everyone’s going to fall in love with him?” Auntie Wang snapped bitterly.

-Tang Monk: Tang Sanzang, a fictional Buddhist monk from the novel Journey to the West. 

Chu Qiao smiled even more sweetly, and her words were even sharper, “Isn’t he exactly the type everyone falls for? Didn’t your niece fall for him head over heels?”

Auntie Wang’s face turned uglier, and in a huff, she stormed off, tossing back a parting comment, “With his background, he’ll never get married in this lifetime!”

“When Xu Sanqiang gets married, I’ll make sure to send you a wedding invitation. You must come and drink the wedding wine, Auntie Wang!”

Chu Qiao wasn’t backing down one bit, leaving Auntie Wang with an angry face and slamming her door shut. 

But Chu Qiao felt great. She even started humming cheerfully. She really couldn’t stand people who walked around with this self-righteous superiority complex. 

Where did that confidence even come from? Just because of a Shanghai household registration? Maybe that was valuable decades ago. But nowadays, it wasn’t anything special. 

Xuan Hongxia held back a laugh and teased, “That sharp tongue of yours! I used to think you were soft and gentle. Now I see you’re the type who hides her strength.”

“I treat people based on how they act. If they’re unreasonable, then I won’t hold back.”

Chu Qiao smiled sweetly, her voice soft and delicate, she looked like someone who’d be easy to bully. 

But after everything that had happened in the residential building, no one dared to underestimate her anymore.

“Xiao Chu, does Xu Sanqiang really have such high standards for a wife?” Xuan Hongxia asked quietly.

“Pfft…”

Chu Qiao chuckled. 

“I just said those things to piss off Auntie Wang. But it’s true Xu Sanqiang doesn’t want to get married right now. I asked him last time, he said he doesn’t have the conditions yet and doesn’t want his wife to suffer with him. He wants to work hard for a few years and only then consider marriage.”

Actually, there were two reasons why Xu Sanqiang didn’t want to get married. 

First, Xu Sanqiang didn’t want to mistreat his wife.

Second, his standards were actually pretty high. He wanted to find a young and beautiful girl who was also educated, at least a high school graduate. 

He had once dated someone who turned out to be two-timing him. While dating him, she secretly got involved with an accountant at the local machinery factory. 

She kept him in the dark, until after her engagement she told him that he was an uneducated farmer who couldn’t give her a comfortable life, and she just wanted to live a better life. 

Xu Sanqiang didn’t say a word to persuade her. 

Since her heart wasn’t with him, what was the point? And frankly, he couldn’t stand such a fickle woman like that, who was two-faced and selfish. 

When a disaster struck, she’d definitely stab him in the back. So it was better to end things early.

But deep inside, he made a silent vow that he would succeed, just to prove himself. Not to win her back, but to show that he was capable of giving a good life to the woman he loved. And that woman, however, would never be her. 

So now he only wanted to look for someone who was younger, more beautiful, and more educated than his ex. It was not for anything, but for his pride and ego. 

When he made his glorious return, he’d show off his beautiful wife and slap that snobbish ex, leaving her angry and regretful.

After hearing this, Xuan Hongxia didn’t ask any more. 

If Xu Sanqiang wasn’t interested, then there was no point pushing it. It was not that her cousin was so desperate to marry anyway. 

Time passed quickly, and before long, it was October. The weather had cooled down, and Dabao just had a small quiz, he scored 95 in Chinese and 99 in Math. An unprecedented achievement!
