Chapter 2  

Chu Rong felt that he owed Chu Qingzhi a lot. “Qingzhi, make do with it first. I’ll make a new bed for you as soon as possible.”

Madam Li also felt that she owed her daughter. “Qingzhi, your father was too anxious to pick you up. There are many things that he didn’t have time to prepare. Make do with it for now. You’ll be fine in two or three days.”

Chu Qingzhi did not mind. “Father, Mother, it’s fine. Don’t worry.”

Chu Second said considerately, “Mother, Fifth Sister wants to sleep. Let’s go out first.”

“Let’s go, let’s go out.” Madam Li chased everyone out of the room. Then, she turned around and said to Chu Qingzhi, “Qingzhi, sleep well. We’ll talk after you’re fully rested.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. After everyone left, she sat on the edge of the bed.

She had to calm down first.

The bed was very hard. After sitting on it for a while, she felt her butt hurt.

She stood up and cast a spell to soften the bed. Then, she sat down again and felt comfortable.

Chu Qingzhi was a cultivator from the cultivation society of the modern world and was already qualified to become an immortal. As long as she experienced the love tribulation, she would be an immortal.

The elder of the cultivation society was very irresponsible. Without asking for her opinion, he sent her to this world and even stuffed her soul into Chu Qingzhi’s body.

When she possessed her body, Chu Qingzhi was already dead. She had committed suicide due to depression.

Chu Qingzhi had always been raised by her adoptive mother. Although she did not starve or freeze, she had been suffering from mental abuse for a long time. Since young, she had almost never smiled.

Her adoptive mother did not love her at all. She felt that her father-in-law brought the child home to humiliate her and remind her at all times that she was infertile In the old days, three behaviors were considered greatly unfilial. The first was to have no children. Chu Qingzhi’s adoptive mother turned the pressure she was under into violence and then inflicted it on Chu Qingzhi.

She often hit and scolded Qingzhi without anyone knowing, asking Qingzhi why she didn’t just die.

This was not the first time Qingzhi committed suicide, but the seventh time.

The day before the seventh suicide attempt, Chu Qingzhi was beaten up by her adoptive mother. She was covered in wounds.

In the previous six suicide attempts, she was saved by the doctor invited by Old Master and Old Madam. However, on the seventh time, they already had a grandson, so they did not invite a doctor over to save Chu QIngchu. Therefore, Chu Qingzhi died.

However, they did not know that Chu Qingzhi was already dead.

Now that Chu Qingzhi’s adoptive mother had a son of her own, she was finally bold enough to fight back. She immediately asked her father-in-law to send Chu Qingzhi back. Her father-in-law was afraid that he would anger his daughter-in-law and hurt his grandson, so he informed Chu Rong to pick his daughter up the next day.

Chu Qingzhi smiled coldly. It was better to leave such a family to avoid suffering.

However, what made Chu Qingzhi dejected was that after she possessed this body, her cultivation level had greatly decreased. She was only at the Foundation realm.

For example, in the past, moving mountains and filling the sea was a small task to her. Now, it was difficult to even move a small rock.

Chu Qingzhi sighed. She did not know when she would be able to find someone to fall in love with to pass the love tribulation.

…

When Chu Qingzhi woke up, it was already evening.

The sun softened its dazzling light and turned into a yolk on the horizon. However, the heat of the land did not decrease much. It was still so hot that people were sweating without doing anything.

When Chu Ninth saw Chu Qingzhi, he quickly walked over. He was very curious about his Fifth Sister. “Fifth Sister, you’re up?” “Are you alone at home?” Chu Qingzhi looked at the skinny six- or seven-year-old boy in front of her. His hair had an unhealthy yellow color. It was obvious that he was malnourished.

“They’ve all gone to water the fields.”

“Water the fields?”

“It hasn’t rained for more than a month. If we don’t water the fields, the crops will dry up.”

Chu Qingzhi muttered to herself, “It’s only April, but it hasn’t rained for more than a month. Is a drought coming?”

Seeing that Chu Qingzhi did not speak, Chu Ninth continued, “I was asked to wait at home for Fifth Sister to wake up. Father and Mother said that they were afraid that you would be worried if you woke up and didn’t see anyone.”

Chu Qingzhi’s heart warmed. Although this family was poor, they were kind-hearted and not bad. “When will they come back?”

Chu Ninth said, “They can only be back after dark. Now that the sun has just set, it’s a good time to water the fields.”

Chu Ninth continued, “Fifth Sister, I’m going to the fields to help. Can you stay at home alone?”

Chu Qingzhi chuckled. “Sure, go ahead.” She didn’t know how to do farm work, so she was not going to cause trouble.

“Fifth Sister, I’m leaving then.”

“Ok.”

After Chu Ninth left, Chu Qingzhi sat on the stool for a while. She felt that she should do something.

Actually, she didn’t want to do anything, but everyone was busy. It didn’t seem right for her to slack off.

After thinking for a long time, she decided to cook for everyone, so she went to the kitchen.

The kitchen was narrow and cramped. If three people came in, it would be too stuffy.

Chu Qingzhi looked around. There were many jars in the kitchen, big and small. They were placed very neatly. She walked over and opened them one by one.]

There were four to five catties of brown rice and five to six catties of black flour, the quality of which was quite bad.
