Thank goodness it didn't rain at night, or she would have gone crazy.
Zhuang Zilan grew increasingly angry as she thought about it, and her cries became more and more shrill.
Wearing only her undergarments, she saw the raindrops falling more and more heavily, so she simply wrapped herself in a blanket and ran outside.
However, this not only woke up the Qi family elders and Chi Yu and her son, but also the surrounding villagers.
The fish in the pond, who knew exactly what was going on, saw it was raining as soon as it came out of the space.
This made her feel that even God was helping her get revenge.
Otherwise, why did it rain today when the book didn't even mention it?
And this happened after she collected the roof tiles from the Qi family's house.
It has to be said that Chi Yu was somewhat gloating at this moment.
Fortunately, she remained rational and knew that now was not the time to be happy, as there was still a tough battle ahead!
Therefore, after wrapping herself and her child in a thin blanket, she stormed out of the room with a furious expression.
Just as I stepped out of the room, I caught a glimpse of a ladder propped up on the wall, with a woman wearing a straw hat peeking out from there.
Upon recognizing the newcomer as Rong, the greedy and gossipy neighbor, Chi Yu's eyes lit up, and a plan formed in her mind.
"Sister-in-law Rong?"
Rong Shi enjoyed watching a good show, and even when she was caught, she wasn't angry. She just smiled and replied, "Yes!"
Then, as if remembering something, she asked with a gossipy glint in her eyes, "Little Fish, weren't you unconscious?"
I heard from your mother-in-law that you accidentally fell a couple of days ago and ended up giving birth to a stillborn baby, right?
So what's that in your arms?
Also, it's raining, and you're still in your postpartum period. Why aren't you taking shelter from the rain? What are you doing out here?
"By the way, what happened to all the tiles on your roof? I saw them there before dark yesterday!"
Seeing that someone was cooperating with him, Chi Yu didn't rush to settle accounts with the Qi family elders.
She beckoned to Madam Rong with one hand, then ran to open the door.
As soon as the gate opened, she sat on the threshold in front of the onlookers and began to sob, covering her face.
"Sister Rong, ladies and aunties, you have no idea how miserable my life is—"
I never drank a drop of my mother's milk when I was born.
I barely made it to the age of one before losing my parents.
From that day on, I started going back and forth between my eldest, second, and third older brothers' houses.
"I'm almost seventeen, and my sisters-in-law, feeling sorry for me, inquired repeatedly before finally settling on Qi Mingyu's family."
Those outside the door nodded in agreement, but they didn't think so in their hearts.
Everyone knows that the scholar's wife is a lucky person.
Although she was a hunter's daughter living deep in the mountains, she had never experienced any hardship growing up.
She is the only girl in the Chi family for nearly three generations.
Even though her parents died early, her sisters-in-law treated her like their own daughter.
When she got married, her dowry included three large trunks full of the finest furs.
Even the bed, wooden chest, washstand, dressing case, and fertility tub that came with her dowry were all made of the finest camphor wood.
Regardless of their monetary value, her dowry alone was said to amount to a full thirty taels of silver.
If they complain about their miserable lives, how are people like them supposed to live?
Chi Yu didn't care what others thought; she just wanted to start her venting.
Seeing someone nod, he immediately said:
"At first, my sister-in-law thought that Qi Mingyu was a scholar, his family was harmonious, and he was a refined and cultured man, a good man to whom she could entrust her life."
Therefore, I made a special trip to inquire about it.
Everyone said that the Qi family were reasonable people, which is why this marriage was arranged.
Among the onlookers, the members of the Qi clan straightened their backs upon hearing this.
Those with other surnames also nodded in agreement.
