Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Are you really a doctor?” The village chief looked at Chu Qingzhi and was in disbelief. If Chu Qingzhi was a doctor, would her adoptive parents in the county let her go back?

With a faint smile on her face, Chu Qingzhi pointed at Zhou Qingzhong.

Zhou Qingzhong shrunk back. He had just been exposed by Chu Qingzhi and had yet to regain his calmness. If she exposed more of his secrets, he might not be able to withstand it.

Chu Qingzhi moved her finger to Zhao Xiuhua and said, “This evil woman, she will often feel pain in her right ribs and upper abdomen. Sometimes, she will feel slight pain.”

Zhao Xiuhua’s expression changed slightly. Chu Qingzhi was right.

Chu Qingzhi looked at Tang Jinghong. “He worked so hard that he fell ill. He was injured by an arrow in his lower ribs and almost died. He was stabbed three times. He was close to death many times in his life.”

Tang Jinghong was shocked, but he did not show it on his face.

“Village Chief, you often have a headache and your limbs are weak. At night, you will have nightmares and can’t sleep well.”

Chu Qingzhi diagnosed a few more people and hit the nail on the head every time.

Third Uncle’s wife, Wang Qiu, was one of the people diagnosed by Chu Qingzhi. She walked towards Chu Qingzhi in surprise. “Since you can see my illness, can you make a prescription for me?”

“Of course,” Chu Qingzhi said. “Third Grandma, I don’t have a pen, ink, and paper here. How about this? I’ll go find some herbs later and send them to you?”

Wang Qiu smiled and agreed. “That will do. When you send the herbs to me later, I will pay you.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Sure.”

Seeing that Chu Qingzhi did not seem to be lying, Zhao Xiuhua’s eyes lit up and she began to curry favor with her. “Qingzhi, I didn’t mean what I said just now. Don’t take it to heart.”

Chu Qingzhi naturally would not take these women seriously. She was not so narrow-minded. However, it was impossible for Chu Qingzhi to help her.

She pretended not to hear Zhao Xiuhua and continued to talk to Wang Qiu.

Zhao Xiuhua knew that Chu Qingzhi was resentful of her, so she walked towards Li Qingyu. “Qingyu, we are neighbors. Neighbors are like families. Even if we quarrel, we can’t cut ties, right?”

Li Qingyu still remembered that Zhou Qingzhong had called Chu Qingzhi “dog”, so she said bluntly to Zhao Xiuhua, “We can’t afford to be your neighbors.”

Zhao Xiuhua’s face stiffened. She turned around and walked towards the village chief. “Village chief, we’re all from the same village. If we hold grudges against each other, it won’t be good for the harmony of the village, right?”

The village chief looked at Zhao Xiuhua coldly. He had always known that this vicious shrew did not treat her daughter-in-law well, but he did not expect it to be so bad.

He ignored Zhao Xiuhua and asked Fu Haiyan, “What are your plans? If you want to leave, get divorced. If you want to stay, you can. No matter what you choose, I’ll help you.”

In the village, the village chief was the most prestigious person.

When Zhou Qingzhong heard this, he panicked. Now that everyone knew that he could not give birth, if Fu Haiyan left, who would be willing to marry him in the future?

Zhao Xiuhua was also so frightened that her face turned pale. If Fu Haiyan left, her son would be a bachelor forever.

“No, Haiyan, you and Qingzhong have been married for two years. You must have feelings for each other. I won’t hit you in the future. I’ll treat you well. Don’t leave, okay?”

Fu Haiyan’s eyes were red and filled with confusion. After a while, she asked Chu Qingzhi, “Qingzhi, what should I choose?”

“I don’t know what you should choose, but I can help you analyze the situation.”

Chu Qingzhi sympathized with Fu Haiyan. This girl was only 18 years old and looked like a 28-year-old woman. She was really pitiful.

“If you choose to stay, you’ll very likely be beaten and abused. At that time, no one will help you.”

Everyone agreed with Chu Qingzhi, so no one objected.

Fu Haiyan stammered, “But my mother-in-law said that she would treat me well in the future.”

Chu Qingzhi had lived for so long and knew human nature the best. “You have to know that a leopard can’t change its spots.”

Fu Haiyan fell into a dilemma.

Chu Qingzhi patted Fu Haiyan’s shoulder and continued to analyze. “If you divorce him, you’ll still be a virgin. There are many men who will marry you. Don’t be afraid that you won’t be able to get married.”

Fu Haiyan was a little tempted. She wanted a harmonious family and a few children. If she stayed in the Zhou family, she would never be able to be a mother for the rest of her life.

“Haiyan, don’t listen to Chu Qingzhi. She’s lying,” Zhou Qingzhong said anxiously. “Even if you’re a virgin, you’ll definitely be despised by men because you were married once.”

Fu Haiyan looked at Zhou Qingzhong. Before she married him, she had many expectations of this man, but in the end, they all turned into beatings and curses. She lived in fear every moment. Was this the life she wanted?

Zhao Xiuhua glared at Chu Qingzhi and said to Haiyan with a smile, “Haiyan, our family let you down in the past. As long as you stay, we can go and adopt a child. Our family will also treat you very well and won’t hit or scold you anymore.”

Just as Fu Haiyan was about to speak, Mr. Zhou suddenly said, “Haiyan, I hope you can stay too. If your mother-in-law hits you again in the future, I’ll definitely stop her.”

Chu Qingzhi was extremely speechless. Why didn’t he stop his wife in the past? He and his son were both cowards!

When Fu Haiyan heard this, she suddenly recalled the scene of Mr. Zhou handing a stick to Zhao Xiuhua. She took a deep breath and held Chu Qingzhi’s hand. “I want to divorce!”

The surrounding instantly fell silent.

Zhou Qingzhong could not accept it. He reached out, grabbed a stick, and swung it at Chu Qingzhi.

The stick was aimed at Chu Qingzhi’s head. When everyone saw this scene, they held their breaths. It was too ruthless!

How could Chu Qingzhi let herself be hit? Not only would she not be hit, but she was also prepared to cripple Zhou Qingzhong’s arm.

However, someone beat her to it…
