Farmer's Wife Has Magic Skills

Chapter 30

Tang Jinghong raised his eyebrows. “Why did you say that?”

Fang Zerong said excitedly and in admiration, “Her palm strike was neither light nor heavy. It just so happened to force the contaminated blood out of your heart. This way, after taking the medicine a few more times, your internal injuries will be cured.”

Tang Jinghong thought to himself, “You are actually a divine doctor!”

Fang Zerong said expectantly, “General, I want to see this divine doctor. Can you take me to see her?”

Tang Jinghong said thoughtfully, “We’ll see.”

…

Chu Qingzhi came out of the room and stretched. “Second Sister, Fourth Sister, why are you cleaning the house so early in the morning?”

Chu Qingyue said happily, “Today, our future sister-in-law will come with the matchmaker and her mother to discuss the marriage.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled. Her eyes were bright and curved and looked very beautiful. “That’s a good thing. Get Father and Mother to prepare more food and wine to liven up the occasion.”

As Chu Qingning cleaned, she replied with a smile, “Father and Mother have already gone to the county to buy wine and meat.”

Chu Qingzhi felt that she should express her goodwill, so she said, “I’ll go make a dress for my future sister-in-law.”

Chu Qingning looked at the three sisters and pointed at Chu Qingyue. “She’s as tall as Second Sister.”

Chu Qingzhi measured Chu Qingyue’s size with her eyes and remembered it. “I’m going to make clothes. Remember to call me for breakfast later.”

Chu Qingning smiled and replied, “Okay.”

When she returned to her room, Chu Qingzhi took out the good fabric Chu Rong had bought and cut it seriously. She made a set of clothes for her future sister-in-law as a gift.

Chu First and Chu Third were making ice cream bars at the back of the house. The burning sun indicated that today was another hot day. They made some ice cream bars for the guests to eat on the way back.

Chu Third was 17 years old this year, but he was already as tall as Chu First. However, he was thinner and not as strong. He had a certain yearning for marriage. “Brother, how long has it been since you last met my future sister-in-law?”

As Chu First worked, he thought, “About two months.”

Chu Third suddenly said sadly, “Brother, after you get married, we won’t be able to sleep together.”

The corners of Chu First’s mouth twitched. It was not good for his brother to be too clingy to his eldest brother. “When the time comes, we’ll find you a wife and you’ll get married too.”

Chu Third chuckled. “Brother, do you like her?”

Chu First’s eyes lit up as he blurted out, “Of course I like her. Otherwise, why would I want to marry her?”

Chu Third said with a smile, “I wish Brother and Sister-in-law a happy life in advance.”

Chu First’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

…

At noon, a matchmaker, a middle-aged woman, and a young girl walked into the Chu family’s house.

The young girl was wearing rough clothes, but it could not hide her youthfulness. She had a round face and looked likable.

It was meant to be a joyful occasion, but the three of them did not look happy.

Granny Chu and Grandpa Chu were in the courtyard. As soon as they entered, the two of them greeted enthusiastically, “Quick, take a seat.” Then, they shouted, “Qingyu, Chu Rong, Chu First, our future in-law is here.”

The three of them quickly walked out of the house. Chu First had changed into his best clothes today and was very clumsy. After glancing at the three of them, he greeted them and stood at the side.

However, the young girl did not look at Chu First. She pulled a long face and was obviously not happy.

Seeing that the three of them did not sit, Chu Rong quickly said, “Everyone, sit. Let’s sit down and talk.”

The fragrance of meat filled the entire courtyard. The matchmaker took a deep breath and swallowed her saliva. She waved her hand and said, “There’s no need to sit. I’m here mainly to…” She looked at the middle-aged woman who had her head lowered and looked unhappy. “We’re here to break off the engagement.”

The word “break off the engagement” caught the Chu family off guard. Everyone’s expressions instantly stiffened.

Chu First slowly raised his head. There was confusion on his face.

Chu Qingzhi was making clothes in the room. When she heard this, she walked out quietly and did not attract anyone’s attention.

Seeing that this news had dealt a huge blow to the Chu family, the matchmaker found it difficult to continue. However, the girl’s mother was determined to break off the engagement, so she had no choice.

“Qingyu, you have too many children in your family. Moreover, you just brought one back. How are you going to live in the future?”

The insinuation was that this family was too poor and they did not want their daughter to suffer.

Li Qingyu persuaded. “Future in-law, we promise that we will build a house for them when they get married. We won’t let your daughter suffer.”

She had fifty to sixty taels of silver in her hand, more than enough to build two houses.

The middle-aged woman waved her hand. “Qingyu, we’ve known each other for a few years. I know your family’s situation very well. Back then, I only agreed to our children’s engagement because your family was kind. However, you have too many children. It’s not cheap to build a house.”

Li Qingyu continued, “Our family has already saved enough money to build a house.”
