“When will it be better?” He Jihong asked anxiously.

“It can be as short as a few days and a half month, or as long as a few years or even a lifetime. It’s hard to say.” Chu Yuanzhi looked at his daughter sympathetically and sighed in his heart.

His daughter’s life was so bad, she got a fever and even lost her sense of taste!

“Dad,  is there something wrong with my tongue? But I don’t feel it. This dish is really bland.”

Chu Qiao continued to pretend that she was innocent, and wanted to add salt to the dishes. He Jihong didn’t see it, and a large spoon of salt was added to the tofu. She was so angry that her temples pricked and her forehead throbbed.

Couldn’t live like this any longer.

He Jihong couldn’t swallow these dishes at all, so she had no choice but to stand up and cook again. After re-cooking some dishes, she was sweating profusely and had no appetite at all.

After they had finished eating, Chu Qiao cleared up the bowls and chopsticks. There was no one in the living room. She poured three cups of herbal tea, and drank it down in one breath. Her mouth finally felt comfortable.

When she turned around, she saw Chu Peng standing in the back with his poker face. She was startled and squeezed out a smile, “Xiao Peng.”

“Stupid!”

Chu Peng said a word coldly and went into the room to do his homework. Only his stupid sister could do such a silly thing like trying to injure the enemy through damaging herself more.

However, it was still a little progress. Before she got fever, this stupid woman couldn’t even fight back. It was so pitiful and hateful that people couldn’t sympathize with her.

Chu Qiao blinked and didn’t take it to heart. It was strange that her half-brother had an expression on his face, usually he was emotionless.

The next day, Chu Qiao made a more savory dish. The reason was that she forgot whether she had added salt, so she tasted it and it was not salty, so she added it again, tasted it again, added it again……

The reason given by Chu Yuanzhi was also very good.

“Fever may also lead to memory loss. Qiao Qiao, this child had suffered a lot!”

Chu Yuanzhi felt more pity for his daughter. Not only did she have a problem with her tongue, but also her brain. Alas…. What a sin!

However, He Jihong could not understand, other people were still alive and kicking after their fever was over, but her stepdaughter had so much problem. She had loss sense of taste and memory loss. If Chu Qiao became blind tomorrow, she would not be surprised.

This little slut was indeed a low life. Even getting a fever makes her slyer than others. Just let her get married quickly before she became blind. Out of sight, out of mind.

It had been six days since the rebirth.

Chu Qiao was very satisfied with her progress. She won an electric fan, and exempted herself from the task of cooking three meals a day. She still tried to think of a way to avoid other housework as well.

That evening, He Jihong cooked dinner again. She was sweating all over, and the heat made her have no appetite at all. Seeing Chu Qiao eating the food she had worked so hard with enjoyment, He Jihong’s forehead started to hurt again.

She forced herself to swallow the anger. He Qihong smiled gently, and mentioned Gu Jianshe.

“Although Jianshe has lost his wife, he is not very old. He is only 28, and his two children are very sensible and obedient. As long as you are sincere to them, they will certainly treat you like their own birth mother, and be filial to you. Jianshe is the Deputy Secretary of a machinery factory now, and the old secretary still has two years to retire. The successor will definitely be Jianshe. His future is bright, you will become the Secretary’s wife when you get married. How blessed you are!”
