Seeing Madam Qiao agree, Yuan Jiaqi stood up excitedly. He bowed deeply to Qiao Mai and sincerely said, “Thank you!”

“Wait, since we’re a fake couple, we must have a pre-marital agreement. One day, if both of us find the person we love, we can’t force each other to stay for any reason.”

“Of course, there’s no problem. It’s just that there’s no such thing. You can divorce me whenever you want. A live-in husband in the Great Ming Dynasty has no right to speak.”

“Then tell me how I can help you?”

“Tomorrow, we will go to the mayor and use his connections to forcefully transfer my household registration to yours. Of course, I will pay for it.”

“If your parents find out, they will definitely come to my place to cause trouble, right?”

“The Yuan family doesn’t allow their son to marry into another family unless they are removed from the clan records. If they want to take money from me, as long as I agree to give them money, I won’t be a member of the Yuan family in the future.’

“Alright, I’ll do whatever you say. Helping you escape from the sea of suffering can be considered as immeasurable kindness.”

“Thank you, Madam Qiao. Thank you so much.”

“By the way, how long are we going to pretend to be husband and wife?”

“When things settle down, and when Chuan’er will be a little older and can be independent. Then, I can go out and find something to do.”

“Alright, then I’ll cooperate with you. I’ll do whatever you say.”

With Madam Qiao’s words, Yuan Jiaqi clenched his fists and swore that he would leave the family he hated this time.

The next day, Qiao Mai did not set up her stall either. She followed the Yuan Jiaqi to the mayor’s house.

Mayor Qiao Mai’s head hurt when he saw her. “Tell me, what’s the matter now?”

“Mayor, please do me a favor. I’ll get you a good recipe later, but you have to pay me, okay?”

The mayor’s heart sank and he asked helplessly, “Tell me about it?”

“He wanted to marry into my family, but his family didn’t agree. They wanted to use your connections to forcefully move his household registration to my family.”

“Really?”

The mayor was shocked by her words. She usually did not show off, but she had seduced a man like this.

He sized Yuan Jiaqi up. “You’re the teacher who taught her son, right?”

“Yes, Mayor!”

“Which books have you read?”

“I usually copy books for others when I have nothing to do, so the books are quite miscellaneous and comprehensive.”

“Yes, those who can copy books usually write well. It’s also possible to teach a child. ”

“Do any of your relatives work in the government?”

“No, the family has been poor farmers for generations, and I’m the only one who can read.”

“Mm, that’s easy to handle. I’ll help you settle the matter with a hundred taels of silver. I won’t take a single cent from you. It’s all for the officials.”

“I understand.”

Qiao Mai handed over the household register with both hands. Yuan Jiaqi quickly handed over a bag of silver. The mayor nodded after a moment of consideration.

“Go back. I’ll reply to you in three days.”

“Mayor, hurry up, or his parents will make him marry a woman he doesn’t

like.”

“Tomorrow, no earlier.”

“Can’t it be today?”

The mayor roared, “Do you think your family opened the yamen?”

Qiao Mai chuckled. “Mayor, getting angry is bad for your health. I was just joking. We’ll come and get our household registration tomorrow.”

“Hmph!”

Qiao Mai dragged Yuan Jiaqi away and rolled her eyes.

“I’m done, I have to go out to set up my stall and support my family.”

“Then I’ll go home and teach the children. In the afternoon, I’ll make a few big boxes and a few shelves to put the chicks in.”

“That’s called a quail, not a chick.”

“Uh, move the quails inside. You’re taking up too much space by raising them like that.”

“Do whatever you want.”

One was out of the stall, and the other was teaching at home. Qiao Mai sat at the stall with a tired expression, looking weak.

She divorced as soon as she got married and took in a live-in husband as soon as she had a good time. Although it was as fake marriage, when the other party left with the child, she would become a woman who had married three times.

Although she was a modern person and did not care about these things, she still felt uncomfortable.

She did not dare to tell Shopkeeper Lu about this, afraid that she would scold her.

She had just said that she would not find a man. In less than two days, she had already invited Yuan Jiaqi into her house. The moment he opened his mouth, she agreed as if she had long been waiting for Yuan Jiaqi.

Was it too impulsive, or did she feel the need to save them?

She did not want to think about it. Since she wanted to save him, she would save him to the end. Anyway, she did not want to get married again.

With this layer as a cover, Tian Sanzhuang would not bother her anymore.

She calmed herself down and then acted as if nothing had happened.

When she returned home, she saw that Yuan Jiaqi was making wooden boxes. This guy was pushing his luck. Was he not afraid of others saying bad things now?

He did not go home at this time. It seemed that he wanted to have dinner here tonight. Their household registration had not been moved together yet, and they were still two families in name.

“You’re back. Rest, I’ll help you unload the car.”

Putting down the work in his hands, he got up and went outside to help unload the car. He placed the things in a corner.

The brothers were setting the table, and even Chuan’er was helping out.

He followed behind his two brothers and did whatever they called him to do. He was very obedient.

“You must be tired. Wipe your face, wash your hands, and eat.”

Qiao Mai felt very uncomfortable when he heard this. This man had gotten into character quite quickly. They were ancient people who were very traditional and feudal, right? Why did it change when it came to him? Or did he learn it from her?

It was as if she was the man who was earning money outside and he was the woman at home.

Fengyun pointed at the dishes on the table.

“This is the dish that our teacher cooked. My brother and I were only responsible for cooking the porridge.”

“Thanks!”

“It’s my duty. In the future, Chuan’er and I will need Madam Qiao to take care of us.”

“Okay, let’s eat.”

Chuan’er looked at everyone with a smile on his face. The atmosphere was really like a family.

Yuan Jiaqi liked this feeling very much. Since he was young, he had hoped that his family could eat together happily. This was what he had hoped for.

It seemed that he had made the right move. Madam Qiao was a good person. He was content to continue living like this.

After the meal, Yuan Jiaqi carried Chuan’er and reluctantly left the Qiao family’s residence.

Qiao Mai did not tell her sons about this. She wanted to wait until the household registration was done.

At night, when she was playing with her, she asked her about it.

“Ling’er, mother has found you a stepfather. He can read and write. If you’re willing, just say yes?”

Who knew that Ling’er would really agree? Qiao Mai smiled happily and kissed her face.

“You agree?”

“Yes!”

“Haha, my Ling’er is too cute. Since you’ve already agreed, then I have nothing to say.”

Qiao Mai came out of the house at daybreak. She opened her mouth and saw this scene. Yuan Jiaqi was carrying Chuan’er and standing in the courtyard, giving her an awkward smile.

“Madam Qiao, don’t misunderstand. It’s Chuan’er who wants to come and play with the brothers. I, I really can’t win against him.”

“Alright then, just play around. Anyway, the household registration will be moved over today anyway. After you finish making the wooden box, you can clean up the room and stay in whichever room you like.”

“Do we need to hold a ceremony or something? Isn’t this too hasty?”

“No need. It’s not a real marriage anyway. Why waste that money?”

“Alright, then I’ll pack up today?”

“Yeah,” she said.

Qiao Mai was not in the mood to set up a stall today. She had a hunch that if the official came to the house and forcefully took away Yuan Jiaqi’s household registration, the Yuan family would definitely come to her house to cause trouble.

When she saw that the brothers were going to cook porridge again, she immediately called out to them.

“Mother won’t be going out today. Mother will cook.”

She had been eating porridge for a long time. It was porridge in the morning and evening.

She made a pot of braised meat and a piece of noodles. They would be eating noodles today.

Although she was not that good at cooking, it could still be eaten..
