In Chu Village.

An ordinary-looking female farmer in her sixties walked into the courtyard excitedly. “Qing Yu, Qing Yu, Mother is here.”

Li Qingyu was packing up and was about to go back to her family to inquire.

She did not expect her mother to suddenly visit her. When she came back to her senses, she walked out. “Mother.”

There were a few people behind the old woman, Zheng Guixiang. They were Li Qingyu’s eldest brother, Li Qinghu, her second brother, Li Qingwu, and Zheng Guixiang’s favorite grandson, Li Jianheng, who was 17 years old.

“Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Jianheng.”

Li Jianheng called out, “Auntie.”

Li Qingyu patted his head.

When the Chu family members heard the voice, they walked out one by one and greeted each other. Then, they entered the central room together. The elders took their seats, and the juniors stood to the side.

Li Qingyu introduced Chu Qingzhi seriously. “Mother, she’s my fifth daughter, Chu Qingzhi. We brought her home.”

Zheng Guixiang pulled Chu Qingzhi over and sized her up carefully. The little girl’s face was fair, her eyebrows were curved, and she was slender. She was really a beauty, but she was a little too thin. “Good daughter, good daughter…”

Li Qinghu, Li Qingwu, and Li Jianheng all looked at Chu Qingzhi. Chu Qingzhi was good-looking and dressed well. Why would her adoptive parents abandon such a good daughter. Were they blind?

Chu Qingzhi had a good impression of the kind-looking old lady. “Grandma, why are you here?”

Zheng Guixiang looked at the people coming and going at home and said happily, “1 heard that your family is doing business, so I specially came to take a look.”

The news of the Chu family selling ice cream bars had already spread to the surrounding villages and three county cities. It was not strange for them to hear about it.

The Chu family looked at each other. They had already expected their relatives to come after knowing that their family was doing business, so they were not particularly surprised.

Chu Qingzhi smiled and turned to Shen Ruyue. “Ruyue, go get some fruits and ice cream bars for Grandma and the others to get cool.

Shen Ruyue replied, “Okay.”

Chu Qingzhi turned around and asked with concern, “Grandma, have you eaten?”

Zheng Guixiang smiled and shook her head. Since she was at her daughter and son-in-law’s house, she did not stand on ceremony. “We haven’t eaten yet. Do you have any leftovers?”

Li Qingyu continued, “Mother, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Jianheng, wait a moment. I’ll go cook.”

“Let’s go too.” Granny Chu and Chu Qingning followed her to the kitchen.

Zheng Guixiang looked at their backs and said, “In-law, Qingyu, just something light will do.”

Li Qingyu replied, “Got it, Mother.”

Shen Ruyue brought over some pear juice ice cream bars. “Old Madam, Uncles, Little Brother, this is our ice cream bar. Try it.”

The four of them were immediately attracted by the ice cream bar. In Tongzi County, they had seen vendors selling ice cream bars on the streets and alleys. It cost five copper coins a piece, but to villagers, very few people were willing to spend this money for a snack.

Now that they could eat ice cream bars for free, they were excited.

Li Jianheng couldn’t care less. He grabbed one and took a bite. Immediately, the thick pear fragrance spread in his mouth along with the cold and refreshing taste. It dispelled the scorching heat and conquered him.

He swallowed the cold fruit juice that melted in his mouth and urged, “Grandma, Father, Second Uncle, eat it. It’s delicious.”

Chu Qingzhi also said, “Grandma, Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, try it. We’re family. There’s no need to stand on ceremony.”

Only then did the three of them take one and slowly eat it.

It was so cool!

The few of them slowly relaxed their brows and revealed expressions of enjoyment.

Zheng Guixiang took a few bites and was mind-blown. She asked, “Qingzhi, the ice cream bar is especially delicious. How did you make it?”

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “Grandma, eat first. I’ll take you to see how we make it later.”

“Okay.” Zheng Guixiang was full of praise for the ice cream bars. “Good stuff, good stuff. No wonder the rich people in the county bought it. It cools you down immediately.”

Li Qinghu and Li Qingwu were still unsatisfied. They thought to themselves that with the ice cream bar business, their sister and brother-in-law’s family would have a better life in the future.

Chu Eighth waved at Li Jianheng and whispered, “Third Cousin, follow me.”

She wanted to show off her ice cream bars. She had shown off to all her friends in the village. It was not easy for her to have someone else to show off to. How could she miss it?!

Li Jianheng didn’t know where Chu Eighth wanted to take him, but he still followed.

Chu Qingzhi brought a stool over and sat beside Zheng Guixiang. “Grandma, Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, I want to ask you something.”

Zheng Guixiang looked at Chu Qingzhi lovingly. “Qingzhi, what is it?”

Her personality was similar to Li Qingyu’s. She also doted on her daughter. Otherwise, she would not have been able to raise a good-natured daughter like Li Qingyu.

Chu Qingzhi said bluntly, “Grandma, Li Shengfeng’s family is your neighbor next door, right?”

“Li Shengfeng?” A look of disgust appeared on Zheng Guixiang’s face. “This family has already moved out of Li Village and is living in the county.”

These words shocked everyone.

Chu Qingzhi frowned. “Are they that rich?”

Zheng Guixiang’s tone was filled with dissatisfaction. “They moved out of the village three months ago. When they moved out, they were smug and looked down on us. The villagers all hated them.”

“I originally wanted to tell your mother to let Second Girl marry someone else, but I thought that since their family has become rich, if Second Girl married him, her life in the future would be easy, so 1 didn’t say anything.”

“Qingzhi, why are you suddenly asking about them?”

Chu Qingzhi lowered her voice and said, “Li Shengfeng married another woman, and that woman is already pregnant.”

“What?” The Li family members were all shocked. Then, they were filled with hatred and silently cursed Li Shengfeng for being a scumbag.

Although the marriage was only a verbal agreement at that time, the elders of both sides were present. It could be considered a promise. But now, he did such a thing. This was unacceptable.

Zheng Guixiang asked worriedly, “Does Second Girl know about this?”

Chu Qingzhi said softly, “Second Sister only found out about it this morning.

She cried all the way home and fainted from sadness. She hasn’t woken up yet.”

Zheng Guixiang’s heart ached. “I’ll go see her.”

At this moment, Chu Qingyue woke up. When she heard the conversation in the central room, she walked over. “Grandma, Uncle, Second Uncle.”

Zheng Guixiang hurriedly stood up and held Chu Qingyue’s hand. Chu

Qingyue’s eyes were swollen, and her face was very haggard. “Second Girl, it’s fine. Grandma will stand up for you. This is too much.”

Li Qinghu looked at Chu Qingyue with some heartache. “Second Girl, 1’11 go and ask Li Shengfeng when I get back later. This bastard!”

At the mention of Li Shengfeng, Chu Qingyue couldn’t help but feel a lump in her throat. She had the urge to shed tears again.

Chu Qingzhi gave her stool to Chu Qingyue to sit on. “Second Sister, stop crying. Otherwise, Grandma will cry with you.”

Chu Qingyue resisted the urge to cry and nodded. “I won’t cry. It’s not worth it.”

Li Qingwu comforted, “Second girl, you’ll meet a man ten thousand times better than Li Shengfeng in the future.”

Chu Qingyue forced a smile. “Thank you, Second Uncle.”

Zheng Guixiang patted Chu Qingyue’s shoulder. “Seeing you like this, Grandma’s heart really aches. Don’t be sad.”

Chu Qingyue pursed her lips and nodded.

After comforting Chu Qingyue, Chu Qingzhi said, “Grandma, Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, don’t go to look for Li Shengfeng. This will make my Second Sister look like she’s pestering him.”

The three of them looked at each other and felt that it made sense. However, they were unwilling to let this matter rest just like that. Zheng Guixiang said, “Are we going to let it go just like that?”

A trace of fierceness flashed across Chu Qingzhi’s beautiful eyes. “Of course not.

I’ll make him apologize to Second Sister in person.”

Of course, she also had to let him feel Chu Qingyue’s pain!

Zheng Guixiang thought for a moment and said, “But will he be willing to do it?”

Chu Qingzhi sneered. “Whether he’s willing or not, he has to do it.”

Everyone felt a strong sense of oppression from Chu Qingzhi and they believed in her subconsciously..
