Chapter 5 "High and Mighty" Xu Family

  So ordinary families don't have the habit of eating lunch in June, and it's precisely because of this that Chuguihua doesn't worry that Xu Shi will find someone to cook at this time.

  "Alas, when will this kind of day finally come to an end?"

  Chewing on the wild grass in her mouth, Chu Guihua couldn't help but let her mind wander again.

  When she was certain that she had crossed over into this time and space, she thought that she could finally mix and eat to death, no longer having to struggle for food and clothing.

  But what happened later made her realize that she was not destined for a life of poverty and desperation.

  She should have a heroine's halo on her as a transmigrated female lead, following international conventions.

  Even if there's no mysterious treasure or anything, at least it shouldn't be so miserable and desperate!

  After being beaten and scolded by Madam Xue for nearly ten times, Chu Guihua had once suggested to her parents that she wanted to separate from the family and live on her own, but as a result, she got an even more violent storm.

  From then on, Chu Guifang did not dare mention the matter of separation again.

  But not mentioning doesn't mean not thinking about it.

  Every time Chu Gui Hua saw Xu's unpleasant face, her heart became more determined to separate from the family and live alone.

  She's only twelve years old, even if she follows the customs of this dynasty and gets married at sixteen, it'll still take four more years.

  If it's really going to be like this living with the Xu family for four years, Chu Guihua really wondered if she would still be alive by the time she got married.

  And even if I get married, what's the big deal?

  Looking at her mother, Mrs. Mo, today, Chu Guihua can already imagine what her tomorrow will be like.

  To no longer live a life of repetition, generation after generation, Chu Guifang made up her mind to break free from this bitter and oppressive existence.

  Even if I can't be a queen or a female general, at least I should become a landlady or the owner of an estate to have some fun; otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of this title of a transmigrated heroine?

  To turn over a new leaf and become a local tyrant, one must first have silver.

  Silver...

  As soon as she thought of Yinzi, Chu Guifang's face turned sour again.

  Whether Chu's family has money or how much money they have is a complete mystery to Chuguihua. Compared with this mystery, the Bermuda Triangle is nothing but child's play.

  Judging from the house where Chu's family lives now and the food they eat, it seems that Chu's family doesn't have much money.

  But looking at her younger sister Chu Liwan's cosmetics and red skirt, Chu Guifang felt that the Chu family should still have money.

  But whether she has money or not, these are all the same for her.

  The money of the Chu family is all in the hands of Xu Shi. Firstly, she is the mistress of the Chu family. Secondly, in this Chu family now, only this mistress can recognize a few words and count some numbers.

  Chu Guihua had once asked her father about this matter, but the answer she got left her somewhat surprised.

  That Xu lady who looks sharp-tongued and yet puts on a pretentious air is actually the young mistress of a declining aristocratic family.

  However, because of her decline, there was no more silver money or property at home, and there was no big background, so she married Chu Zhenghai, who had some land at that time.

  Although she is the eldest daughter of a declining family, Xu's spoiled nature has not declined. Although years of rural life have worn her down, in her heart, she still feels like a superior being, even to her own children.
