All they could do was try everything they could to make themselves virtuous and kind. They would stay beautiful for as long as they could. That was the only way for them to receive love from their husbands and give them the confidence to stand up straight outside.

Those women who were not loved by their husbands didn’t even dare to speak loudly. They feared that their husbands would despise them when they returned home.

Sometimes, Zhao Chuchu didn’t know what to say to them.

There was no way anyone could convince Zhao Chuchu to live a life relying on someone else.

However, they were different from Zhao Chuchu. Zhao Chuchu didn’t condone their way of life, but neither did she condemn it. After all, they came from completely different eras.

“Mrs. Xie, did you hear what I said?” the lady sitting opposite Zhao Chuchu said. Her question disturbed Zhao Chuchu’s train of thought. She asked,

“There’s no way?”

“There’s no medicine for this.” Zhao Chuchu looked at her and said, “But I can teach you an exercise to do. You will need to do it consistently for a long time.”

The lady was Mrs. Ge. She was asking Zhao Chuchu whether she could revert her body to a slim and slender state.

“Will it work?”

“As long as you do it regularly, it will work.”

“Could you please teach me that exercise? Don’t worry. I’ll pay for the treatment.”

“Yes.

“Can we start right now?”

Zhao Chuchu shook her head.

She needed to do some preparation.

Exercising could not be done without care and caution.

It could easily hurt someone if it wasn’t done properly.

Not to mention that Mrs. Ge was quite heavy, to begin with, so she needed to be extra cautious with her.

Zhao Chuchu was actually capable of coming up with some sort of medicine that could help Mrs. Ge lose weight, but it wasn’t a good solution.

Zhao Chuchu wanted Mrs. Ge to slim down naturally by using both medicine and exercise. This way, Mrs. Ge would develop healthy living habits, which would reduce the chance of her weight bouncing back up.

“When?”

“Come back in 10 days.”

“Why so long?”

“Because I need to prepare some tools that we need for the exercise.”

see.”

“Yup. But this is going to be quite tough. Mrs. Ge, are you sure you can push through this training?” “I’m sure I can.”

Mrs. Ge was very confident.

But she didn’t know what monstrous training awaited her.

Upon receiving a confirmation from Zhao Chuchu, Mrs. Ge left, feeling rather satisfied.

Yuan Hui was there as well. After Mrs. Ge left, Yuan Hui asked Zhao Chuchu,

“Chuchu, how do you plan to help Mrs. Ge slim down?”

“Just five words. Control her mouth and start exercising.” Zhao Chuchu turned to look at Yuan Hui, then she asked, “Are you interested as well?”

“Me? But I’m so slim already. Do I need that too?”

“Regardless of whether you are skinny or fat, you can’t go wrong with gaining a bit more strength. What’s so good about being so weak that you can’t even kill a chicken? If you run into a hooligan, you can’t even outrun him to escape.”

“Are you going to teach me kung fu?”

“No. I’m just going to teach you how to become healthier.”

Zhao Chuchu was quite bored. She wasn’t in need of money, and she wouldn’t have patients coming to her every day.

There were a lot of rich people in the capital city, and a good portion of them was overweight.

Zhao Chuchu came up with the idea of opening up a place that helped people to exercise. That way, she could have something to do to pass time while watching people suffer from strenuous exercise. Perfect!

“Really? I want to learn then.” Yuan Hui was eager to try.

Zhao Chuchu smiled at her.

“Huihui, a promise is a promise. Don’t regret your decision later.”

“Why would I regret it? I know you’ll never lie to me.”

“Indeed, I won’t lie to you. Well then, let’s find a place first. By the way, I have been eyeing a few shop locations previously. I wonder if the Yuan clan can help me to buy them?”

“You need the Yuan clan to do it? Do those shops belong to the Xia clan?”

“Yup.”

“Why don’t you buy them directly?”

“I don’t want to give the Xia clan a chance to suck up to me.”

“Okay. Tell me where those locations are. I’ll go ask about them later.”

Zhao Chuchu told Yuan Hui about a few locations.

Yuan Hui raised her eyebrows and said, “Why are all of these places in remote locations? You should set up your business in places where there are more people. The locations that you’ve chosen are so far away. Why would people go there?”

“The quality of the customers is more important for this business, not the quantity.”

“Then, how are you going to run the business?”

“You will know.”

Zhao Chuchu didn’t tell her the answer straight away.

She had only been in the capital city for a while, but she had already started thinking about what to do.

She couldn’t let Xie Heng get busy with his career alone while she did nothing all day and wasted time.

“Alright. Which one do you want the most?”

“The one on Changping Street.”

“I’ll get people to enquire about it later. Oh, right. You mentioned that all these shops were sold by the Xia clan. Can’t you just get someone to help you buy them? You don’t need to contact the Xia clan directly, right?”

“Why can’t I just ask you for help then?” Yuan Hui didn’t know how to answer.

She didn’t think about that!

Yuan Hui was quite efficient. The next day, she brought the contract for the shop on Changping Street to Zhao Chuchu.
