Farmer's Wife Has Magic Skills

There were three major counties around Chu Village. One was Shuiyun County, the other was Tongzi County, and the third was Suiyang County.

The young man’s name was Li Shengfeng. He was a villager of the Li Village near Tongzi County, the village where Li Qingyu came from.

There was a waterway between the Chu Village and the Li Village. It was not convenient to travel between the two villages, so even Li QIngyu seldom went back home.

Li Shengfeng was a neighbor of Li Qingyu’s maternal family.

Three years ago, Chu Qingyue and Li Qingyu went back to the Li Village. Suddenly, they encountered a storm while taking a boat. At that time, Li Shengfeng was also on the boat. He was good at swimming, so after the boat was overturned by the storm, he saved a boat full of people. At that time, Chu Qingyue had a good impression of him.

However, Chu Qingyue was too shy to express her good feelings towards him. She only stole glances at him from time to time with her bright eyes, but she could not hide the affection in them.

Her daughter’s actions attracted Li Qingyu’s attention.

Li Qingyu also had a good impression of Li Shengfeng. If her daughter could marry into the village where she came from, her maternal family could also help take care of her daughter. Therefore, after asking Chu Qingyue for her opinion, she returned to her maternal family to find a matchmaker to talk about this.

Unexpectedly, Li Shengfeng’s family also liked Chu Qingyue very much. The two families reached an agreement.

In this era, most women got married between the ages of 15 and 20. At that time, Chu Qingyue was only a little more than 14. years old, so they ended up getting engaged first and would get married after she turned 15 years old.

It was also at this moment that the conscription began.

Li Shengfeng was a courageous man. At that time, he was seventeen years old. He felt that it was a chance to change his life, so he gladly joined the army.

However, he was afraid that he would die on the battlefield… It was very common for men to die on the battlefield. Therefore, he discussed with the Chu family and said that he and Chu Qingyue would not get engaged for the time being. He asked Chu Qingyue to wait for him for three years. If he returned alive three years later, he would marry Chu Qingyue in glory. However, in the end…

Li Shengfeng, who was standing opposite Chu Qingyue, turned his face away and did not look at Chu Qingyue. He acted like he didn’t know Chu Qingyue at all.

Chu Qingyue was very hurt when she was treated like a stranger. She mustered her courage. “Can, can you…”

When Li Shengfeng saw that Chu Qingyue wanted to talk to him, a trace of panic flashed across his face. He quickly walked towards the girl. “Wife, pick a bigger size. Otherwise, when your stomach gets big, It won’t fit.”

These words were clearly meant for Chu Qingyue to hear.

Chu Qingyue felt as if she had been struck by lightning. In the next second, tears rolled down her face like a broken dam. She couldn’t stand this betrayal and blow. She covered her mouth and ran home in tears.

In Chu Village.

Li Qingyu was cooking in the kitchen. She was smiling and talking to Granny Chu when she saw Chu Qingyue rushing towards her. Then, Chu Qingyue hugged her tightly and cried uncontrollably.

This frightened Granny Chu and Li Qingyu. Li Qingyu hurriedly asked, “Qingyue, what’s wrong? Were you bullied?”

Chu Qingyue was sobbing. She tried her best to calm down, but she was too sad. She could not control herself at all. “Mother, Mother…”

Li Qingyu’s heart ached when she saw her daughter so sad. She gently patted Chu Qingyue’s back and comforted her gently, “Qingyue, don’t be afraid. It’s fine. You have Mother, Father, Brothers, and Sisters backing you up. No matter what the difficulty is, we’ll face it together…”

When the Chu family at home heard that Chu Qingyue had returned crying, they all ran to the kitchen to see her.

Chu Rong was not good with words, but when he saw his daughter like this, he comforted her, “Qingyue, don’t be afraid. I’m here. I’ll stand up for you.”

Chu Qingning went forward and handed Chu Qingyue a handkerchief. She patted her back and whispered, “Second Sister, who bullied you? Let’s go and teach them a lesson.”

Shen Ruyue held Chu Qingyue’s hand and said gently, “Qingyue, don’t be afraid. We’re all here.”

The others also comforted her.

Chu Qingyue cried for a long time before she calmed down. Her eyes were swollen like walnuts. After crying, she was still sobbing.

At this moment, Chu Qingzhi came back. It was almost noon and she came in to help cook. She did not expect to see Chu Qingyue at home with a sad expression. She immediately frowned and asked, “Second Sister, were you bullied?”

When Chu Qingyue saw Chu Qingzhi, tears rolled down her face again. She cried, “Fifth Sister, Li Shengfeng is married and has a child.”

Everyone’s expression changed. Other than Chu Qingzhi and Shen Ruyue, they all knew Li Shengfeng.

Chu Qingzhi’s mind was filled with question marks. “Who is Li Shengfeng?”

Li Qingyu was so angry that his face turned red. She quickly explained to Chu Qingzhi who Li Shengfeng was.

When Chu Qingzhi heard this, her face darkened. “What an irresponsible man. Second Sister, you’re lucky that you didn’t marry him. There’s no need to be sad for such a person.”

Chu Qingyue lowered her head and wiped her tears. She was at a loss. “Fifth Sister, what should I do now?”

Chu Qingzhi held Chu Qingyue’s hand and thought to herself she had to think of a way to make this scum come to apologize.

“Second Sister, believe me. I’ll get him to explain everything to you.”

After interacting with them over this period of time, Chu Qingzhi already treated them as her family. How could she watch her family being bullied?

Chu Qingzhi was not a soft-hearted person. Otherwise, she would not have gone far in the cultivation world.

“Fifth Sister, I…” Before Chu Qingyue could finish speaking, her vision darkened and she actually fainted.

Chu Qingzhi hurriedly hugged her and carried her back to her room. “Let Second Sister rest well. We’ll think of a way to get back at that scum. We can’t let Second Sister suffer for nothing.”

The Chu family was all furious. It was not that Qingyue wouldn’t marry anyone but him. If he wanted to marry someone else, he could’ve at least told them. Instead, he kept Qingyue in the dark and wasted so much of her time. It was despicable.

Grandpa Chu said in a low voice, “Let’s go and ask him. If not for Li Shengfeng’s promise back then, our Qingyue wouldn’t have waited for him like this. We have to let him give our family an explanation!”

Chu Rong objected, “No, if we go and demand an explanation with great fanfare, others will definitely make up gossip about Qingyue.”

The world was harsh on women and was much more tolerant of men. Even if Chu Qingyue was the one who was betrayed, if word got out, she would have to bear the blame in the end.

Li Qingyu had some foresight. She suppressed her anger and said, “Yes, Father, Chu Rong is right to be worried. Our Qingyue’s reputation is much more important than that scum.”

Granny Chu’s heart ached. “Then are we just going to watch and do nothing?”

Shen Ruyue looked at Chu Qingzhi and said, “I think the most important thing now is to find out what happened to Li Shengfeng. Why did he do this? We have to understand the enemy first before thinking of a countermeasure. What do you think?”

Chu Qingzhi said, “I agree with Ruyue. Grandpa, Grandma, Father, Mother, stay calm. Don’t spread this matter. I’ll think of a way to get him to apologize!” Upon hearing this, everyone felt that Chu Qingzhi was kidding. However, when they saw her cold face, they felt that she could definitely do it.

Li Qingyu was the first to express her support. “Qingzhi, what do you need us to do?”

Chu Qingzhi said, “Mother, go back to your maternal family. Li Shengfeng is your neighbor. There’s no reason for them not to know that Li Shengfeng is married.”

Everyone thought about it. That made sense. No matter what, if Li Qingyu’s maternal family knew that Li Shengfeng had married someone else, they would definitely inform the Chu family.

Li Qjngyu quickly agreed. “I will go back this afternoon.” She still needed to prepare lunch for the construction workers.

Chu Qingzhi said in a low voice, “Leave the rest to me. I’ll definitely make Li Shengfeng pay the price.”

The rest of the people didn’t know what else they could do, so they didn’t say anything and tacitly agreed with Chu Qingzhi.

Because of this matter, the atmosphere became gloomy..
