Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The life of a middle-aged man was not easy!

Sigh! He lay wasted on the sofa.

The three women were dividing the stuff.

“Yuheng, cut off these tags. You can wear them after we wash them.”

Gu He acted quickly and immediately cut off all the tags.

The little Empress collected all the tags and carefully put them into her pocket.

These tags were so precious that she wanted to keep them by her side and remember them in her heart.

She would repay this family well in the future, no matter where she was and how long it had been.

Even in her old age, as long as she saw these tags, she would be grateful. Tonight, Uncle Gu, Aunt Gu, Gu He, and Gu Shaoshang brought her warmth and happiness.

After that,Gu He opened a bag of potato chips and a large bottle of coke.

She curled up on the sofa and watched TV while eating potato chips and drinking tons of coke.

“Yuheng, do you want some potato chips and coke? It’s so comfortable. The meaning of life is potato chips and coke.”

The little Empress shook her head. “I… I don’t want to eat…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Mother Gu ran over with a feather duster in her hand.

“Evil creature! Didn’t we agree to eat it tomorrow?! I’m going to slap you.”

Gu He cried out loudly. She hid behind the Zhu Yuheng.

“I’m happy because Yuheng is here. Besides, I also want to share it with her.”

“You’d better not lead the girl astray, or I will spank your butt.”

Gu He shrunk her head, and Zhu Yuheng giggled.

After making a fuss for half an hour, it was time to sleep.

They washed up, turned off the lights, and went to bed.

Late at night, Zhu Yuheng lay on the warm and soft bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

“Is all of this real?”

The comfortable feeling made her so absentminded that it felt unreal.

From the moment she was saved by Lin Qiye, she had always felt like she was in a dream.

She thought about how the evil couple had cut her wrists a few moments ago.

She was a little afraid that this was all an illusion she had on her deathbed.

Zhu Yuheng could not help but curl up into a ball.

Then, she pinched the flesh on her arm with her fingers until it was blue and purple.

It hurts!

It hurts so much!

Is It real? The happiness?

The Gu family that treats her well is also real.

She met a kind family that treated her well, more than her own family.

As her thoughts came to this, tears flowed down the corner of Zhu Yuheng’s eyes.

“Thank you… I will repay you! I will! Even if it costs me my life!”

…

The next morning, Mother Gu went to get Zhu Yuheng’s identity card after breakfast.

Her father had never liked her all these years, and her stepmother was even meaner.

Therefore, she was called a jinx, but she had not even registered her identity with the authorities.

Zhu Yuheng was only thirteen years old, which was the right age to study. Without an ID card, she could not enter the school.

“Yuheng, have you studied before?”

Mother Gu asked about her situation so that she could find a relevant school for her.

Hearing this question, Zhu Yuheng lowered her head and said weakly, “No. I’ve only picked up some books that teach literacy in the past. I only know those simple words…”

Seeing her depressed mood, Mother Gu felt a sting in her heart. She gently pulled Zhu Yuheng into her arms and patted her head to comfort her.

“It’s okay. Let’s learn slowly in the future.”

Father Gu sat at the side and looked at the new email he had received on the computer. He was slightly worried.

“With Little Shaoshang, Yuheng’s identity card is no problem. However, she hasn’t studied before. Does she have to study slowly in the first grade now?”

“That’s right. Yuheng can’t be in the same class as a six or seven-year-old child, right?”

Gu He also felt that it was not a good idea.

“Besides, Yuheng is already thirteen years old. It’s too time-consuming to study for a few years. I suggest that we hire an expensive private tutor to teach her.”

Seeing that everyone was worried about her and even had to spend a large sum of money, Zhu Yuheng was terrified.

She did not want everyone to worry because of her.

Thus, she hurriedly waved her hand and shook her head. “It’s alright. I can teach myself for some time. I don’t need to spend money.”

In her heart, the school fees were not something a person like her could afford.

If it were more expensive tutoring, it would be an astronomical figure.

After all, in Gu He’s mouth, a little more expensive means extremely expensive.

Zhu Yuheng was anxious. She did not want to waste her uncle and aunt’s money, and she did not want to cause trouble.

“We can hire some private tutors. Anyway, Little Shaoshang is rich…”

Lin Qiye nodded.

However, the little Empress insisted on refusing.

“I will study by myself. I will study by myself and save this money…”

Mother Gu waved her hand. “It’s not a big problem. While you study by yourself, we will hire private tutors so that you can quickly catch up with the progress.”

And so, Zhu Yuhengbegan to study at home.

Although her learning ability was not as heaven-defying as Lin Qiye’s, the speed at which she grasped knowledge still surprised everyone in the Gu family.

In addition, she worked hard.

Every day, she would get up early and study on her own. She would study non-stop until midnight.

Her hardworking attitude made Mother Gu sigh.

“Little Yuheng, rest early. You don’t have to work so hard.”

Mother Gu made supper and sent it to Zhu Yuheng’s room.

She watched Little Yuheng wake up early and go to bed late every day to study hard, doting on her.
