Translated by: NekoCat

"What dowry? What dowry do you want? What dowry does my daughter need to be a stepmother?" Hao's face became tense when she saw Gu Chunzhu's angry face, but since she wants some good things today, she softly added; "Chunzhu still blame me"

Hao tried to pull her hand but was shunned away.

Hao's hand was left empty, she almost fell on the muddy floor which had been wet by the foot basin.
She stood by the bed, her index finger trembling on Gu Chunzhu's face.
"You damn girl, Did I came all the way here to be treated like this?"

"I'm busy, mother should go back."
She took a step back and looked at Hao Shi as if she was looking at something dirty. The disdain in her eyes obvious.

In Gu Chunzhu's view, Hao Shi and Gu Chunyang, as well as the original owner, are family. Whatever the tree is, so is the fruit. She have to keep away from them.

However, Hao Shi will not easily leave. Regardless of Gu Chunzu's angry face, she took out her socks placed on Chunzhus bed and slowly put on her socks and shoes.

She went to Gu Chunzhu's side and chuckled a fake laugh.

"Chunzhu, I heard that you made a lot of money by selling river shrimps in town. The day your brother went to see you, you asked the person in charge of the street to beat him up. Now he is lying on the bed and shouting , saying that he will not let you go easily..."

"That's alright." Gu Chunzhu doesn't want to find out how much lies were there in Hao's words. That day, Boss Long had only stepped on him for a while, it'll only hurt for a while at most.

"You, you, you..." Hao was so angry she couldn't speak properly. She had planned to threaten Gu Chunzu to break off her mother's side relationship, so she can earn some benefits.
Unexpectedly, she didn't care at all.

The more Hao shi thinks about it, the more angry she got and the more she wanted to hit Gu Chunzu

Her fat body rushed over, but Gu Chunzhu flashed to the side in time so Hao shi had hit the door instead.

She simply sat at the door and yelled "ouch, ouch, my arm must be broken. You have to give me 5 silvers for my broken bone, otherwise you will have to serve me till I get old."

Gu Chunzhu wasn't paying attention to what she was talking about. Her eyes were attracted by the red string in Hao's sleeve.

"You took something!" Gu Chunzhu stepped forward and tried to pull the red thread in her arms.

Hao wanted to block her, but could only lean against the door.

Gu Chunzhu pulled the string out of her arms.

It's a string of copper plates strung with hemp ropes, about a hundred copper plates.
She earned it by selling shrimp the past few days and hid it on a mouse hole. Unexpectedly, it was found by Hao Shi.

"What are you doing with my money?"

"How can you prove that this is your money? This is my money!" Hao shi stood up, her hands on her hips.

She wanted to take the money back from Gu Chunzhu, but didn't have a chance at all.

"This is what I made from selling shrimps. I used a red string for good luck. If mother wants it, I can write a severance letter and we can cut ties then I will give this 100 coppers to you "

"Pah!, just a hundred coppers and you wanted to cut ties with your mother.
No way! Your brother only knows how to eat, drink and play around. I can only rely on you sisters. "
Hao shi waved her hand and thought of how unlucky she was. She should have taken the money and leave earlier.
