nChapter 15

nAt some point, Tang Jinghong had moved to Chu Qingzhi’s side. He grabbed Zhou Qingzhong’s wrist from behind and bent it forcefully. The wooden stick in Zhou Qingzhong’s hand fell to the ground.

n“As a man, you are not tolerant. As a husband, you are irresponsible. As a son, you are not filial. Zhou Qingzhong, you should reflect on yourself.”

nChu Qingzhi looked at Tang Jinghong in surprise. Who exactly was this man? She felt that he was a big shot.

nZhou Qingzhong shook off Tang Jinghong’s hand and glanced at everyone. Then, he gritted his teeth and said gloomily, “I’m willing to divorce.”

nThe village chief wrote the divorce letter. Both parties pressed their thumbprints and each received a copy.

nFu Haiyan quickly packed her things and returned to her family. In the future, she would never come to Chu Village again. This place was simply her nightmare.

nNo one paid attention to the Zhou family anymore. Everyone surrounded Chu Qingzhi and asked her to see if they had any underlying illness.

nThe three people from the Zhou family glared at Chu Qingzhi resentfully before returning home and closing the door with a bang.

nNow was the time to gain a good reputation in the village, so Chu Qingzhi did not refuse and diagnosed everyone.

nAfter the diagnosis, the villagers quickly dispersed and went to water the fields.

nTang Jinghong was the last to leave. Before he left, he said, “Little girl, Zhou Qingzhong might do something extreme. Be careful. Don’t go to any places alone.”

nLittle Girl?

nChu Qingzhi looked at Tang Jinghong’s back with a pout. She was not a little girl.

n…

nChu Qingzhi went home to get a basket and went to pick herbs for Third Grandma.

nThird Grandma’s illness was not serious. The herbs she needed were very ordinary. After wandering around the village, she finished collecting.

nSHe arrived at Third Grandma’s house. “Third Grandma, I’m here to deliver the herbs.”

nThird Grandma was cooking in the kitchen. When she heard this, she immediately walked out. “Qingzhi, you are here.”

nChu Qingzhi placed the bunch of herbs in Third Grandma’s hand. “Third Grandma, take one every morning and night. It will take effect in three days.”

n“Qingzhi, thank you,” Third Grandma said gratefully. “Qingzhi, wait. I have something for you.”

nChu Qingzhi stopped Third Grandma. “Third Grandma, there’s no need. These herbs are not worth much.”

nThird Grandma said with a smile, “Qingzhi, if you don’t accept it, I will be hesitant to ask you for help in the future.”

nChu Qingzhi smiled. “Then I’ll take it.”

nThird Grandma took some bananas for Chu Qingzhi. “These are bananas from the banana tree at home. They’re big and delicious.”

nChu Qingzhi placed the bananas in the basket. “Thank you, Third Grandma. I’m going back.”

n“Okay.” Third Grandma watched Chu Qingzhi leave.

nChu Qingzhi put down the basket and went to the forest.

nWhen she arrived at the entrance of the forest, she gave the order to the bears to catch rabbits and pheasants for her.

nSoon, the prey was in her hands. Chu Qingzhi carried the prey and quickly returned to the village.

nShe threw a rabbit and a pheasant into her courtyard and carried the remaining rabbit and chicken to the Tang family.

nHowever, before she reached the door of the Tang family, she heard cursing.

n“I’ve never seen such a lazy person. In the beginning, he would come back to help water the fields. Now, he’s gone all day long. Where did he go…”

nChu Qingzhi stood by the wall to eavesdrop for a while before deciding not to go in.

nTang Jinghong was scolded even when he was not at home. His stepmother was really crazy. It was better to go back first and give the meat to Tang Jinghong personally when he returned.

nWhen Chu Qingzhi returned home, Granny Chu and Li Qingyu were also back to make dinner. When they saw the pheasants and rabbits on the ground and in Chu Qingzhi’s hand, they were very surprised. “Qingzhi, did you borrow pheasants and rabbits from Jinghong again?”

n“No, I wanted to return it to him, but the time wasn’t right, so I brought it back.”

nLi Qingyu felt that something was wrong. “Qingzhi, did you buy these pheasants and rabbits from the hunter at the entrance of the village?”

nChu Qingzhi said without blushing, “No, I hunted them myself. I set up a trap in the forest and they fell into it.”

nThe two of them were shocked.

nLi Qingyu said worriedly, “Qingzhi, the mountains are dangerous. There are many wild beasts. Don’t go there.”

nChu Qingzhi quickly agreed. “Yes, yes, yes. I’ll listen to you, Mother. I’ll stay away from it.”

nChu Qingzhi handed the phesants and rabbits to Li Qingyu. “Grandma, Mother, clean the prey. It’s such a hot day. It’ll go back very quickly.”

nLi Qingyu quickly said, “Alright, alright, alright. I’ll clean it immediately. Go and rest.”

nChu Qingzhi took the fan and sat on a chair under the roof.

nThe fragrance of meat quickly came from the kitchen.
