After Her Divorce, She Escaped With A Strong Man To Farm

Chapter 149: Chapter 149. You Stopped The Thief Outside But Not The Thief Inside

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Qiu Yue had been watched closely by Xiaoying and Li Shuang ‘er. When she saw the thugs rushing toward her, she was frightened and jumped out of the car, running towards the South, where Zhong Yong was guarding.

When she passed old master Qiu’s carriage, she saw that her grandfather had gotten out of the car with a few old men to help. The bag of money that big brother used to store his money was in the carriage. Thinking that if they escaped, they would not be able to live without money, and if they stayed, the money bag would be taken away by the thugs.

No one noticed Qiu Yue’s actions. Everyone’s attention was on those rioters waiting to look at the treasures of Peach Blossom Cove. They didn’t expect that they would be able to guard against thieves from outside but not house thieves.

When Qiu Yue saw no one was paying attention to her, she stuffed the money bag into her clothes and quietly ran away. If she didn’t run now, she couldn’t escape when big brother returned.

She didn’t want to marry anyone other than Shuisheng but didn’t dare openly oppose her brother. If she didn’t agree to marry, she would be hanged.

She didn’t feel any psychological burden at all for taking away the money from Peach Blossom, and she didn’t want them to be unable to survive after losing this money. Who asked them to be so cruel to themselves?

Qiu Yue ran away with the money from Peach Blossom Cove, but Ji Xiaoying did not realize it. She pressed tightly on her godmother’s wound, and her hands were covered in blood. Li Shuang’er found the medicine and knelt before Madam Li to help Ji Xiaoying bandage Madam Li’s wound.

…..

The red medicine that Su Qing left behind was to stop the bleeding. When the mixture was sprinkled on the wound, the turbulent flow of blood slowed down. Ji Xiaoying saw that the blood was no longer flowing so violently and heaved a sigh of relief. She tore off a piece of her clothes and helped her godmother bandage it again.

“It would be great if sister Su Qing was here.”

Ji Xiaoying missed Su Qing dearly. If her sister and brother were here, those thugs would not be able to harm the villagers.

“Yeah, I miss sister Su Qing so much.”

Li Shuang’er and Jiang Yuyan shared Ji Xiaoying’s thoughts. They were happy to be under Su Qing’s protection.

“Go and help them treat their wounds.”

Xiaoying had experienced many significant events during her escape and had already trained herself to be strong and courageous. She wiped her tears and asked Zhong Yong to carry her godmother into the car. Then, she brought a few girls to bandage the wounds of Jiang Laoqi and the others.

Qiu Yongkang had found a suitable husband for his sister in the city, and to let his sister marry a good man, he had given the matchmaker a tael of silver as a matchmaker’s fee.

The matchmaker’s eyes lit up when he saw the money, and he immediately gave Qiu Yongkang a good answer.

Right now, she has a good partner in her hands. That descendant, Li Yue, was a scholar. He only had an old mother. His father was an accountant in the government office. After his death, the scholar took his father’s place and stayed in the government office as an accountant.

Li Yue worked as an accountant to earn money while he studied for the Imperial examination next fall. He was a young and promising student.

However, there was one thing. This young man was proud and arrogant. When looking for a wife, he didn’t look at the entrance but only at whether she was compatible with him. In other words, he would only marry a beauty.

Her family was well-off. They rented out more than ten acres of land for rent. The old mother was a kind woman and listened to her son. As for marriage, as long as her son liked it, it was fine.

The matchmaker brought Qiu Yongkang to the magistrate’s office for the introduction fee of one tael of silver and called Li Yue out. Qiu Yongkang was still worried after hearing the introduction from the matchmaker, so he suggested visiting Li Yue. Qiu Yongkang saw that Li Yue was a handsome man with a gentle and refined demeanor and fell in love with him.

However, it didn’t matter if he liked him. It was Li Yue’s turn to see if he could like Qiu Yue.

The matchmaker asked Qiu Yongkang to bring Qiu Yue’s portrait for Li Yue to look at. If it were good, then they would meet again.

After the conversation between Li Yue and Qiu Yongkang, Li Yue felt he had a unique way of speaking. They thought that they had met each other too late.

Therefore, he also had a good impression of Qiu Yue, whom he had never met.

Qiu Yongkang was talented in both literature and martial arts. He was especially interested in this future brother-in-law of his. He immediately asked Li Yue for a drawing paper and drew his sister’s face before Li Yue.

He drew Qiu Yue very well, making her look as if she was alive. Her brows, eyes, and beautiful face, as well as her gentle temperament, attracted Li Yue’s attention. He fell in love at first sight and immediately went home to find his mother to ask for an invitation card and eight characters. This marriage was settled.

Qiu Yongkang was pleased he found a suitable husband for his sister. Li Yue had a good personality, was handsome, and had great ambitions. Qiu Yue could rely on such a good man for the rest of her life.

When he returned, he had agreed with Li Yue to bring Qiu Yue over. Special times could not be as cumbersome as before. The three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts were exempted. The betrothal gifts were unnecessary, but the dowry would not be short of Qiu Yue. This was so that the Li family would look up to Qiu Yue and their lives would be better.

After the post-apocalyptic event, they would choose a good day to get married.

After Qiu Yongkang had settled Qiu Yue’s matter, Li Yue heard that Qiu Yongkang wanted to buy some grain. He eagerly brought him to a familiar grain store and bought a cart of grain without having to queue or spend a high price.

After buying the food, Li Yue even personally sent Qiu Yongkang out of the city gate, hoping to see his fiancee as soon as possible.

Qiu Yongkang brought a cart of food back to the group, only to discover that something had happened while he was gone.

The bandits had injured several of them. Seventh master Jiang, the eldest son of the Wang family, and Madame Li were seriously injured and had been in a coma.

What caught him even more surprised was that Qiu Yue had run away. Along with her, the taels of silver from Peach Blossom Cove had also disappeared. More than thirty taels of silver were gone. Fortunately, old master Qiu had all the silver notes on him. Otherwise, Peach Blossom Cove would be left with nothing.

Qiu Yue couldn’t explain to Li Yue after she ran away, and Qiu Yue took away the money from Peach Blossom Cove, which made the Qiu family unable to lift their heads in front of the entire village.

Even Aunt Qiu, who had always doted on her daughter, hated Qiu Yue to death. Old master Qiu felt that he had no face to face the villagers of Peach Blossom Cove and regretted stopping his grandson from hanging Qiu Yue.

Disaster victims were everywhere, and there was nowhere to find Qiu Yue. He could only treat her as dead.

Qiu Yongkang had discussed this with his grandfather, and they decided not to look for Qiu Yue.

The injured had to be treated as soon as possible, and he also had to inform Li Yue. Qiu Yongkang brought Li Daniu to bring their seventh brother Jiang, the young master of the Wang family, and Madam Lee into the city to find a doctor.

“I want to follow.”

Zhong Yong refused to leave his mother’s side and insisted on following her.

“Zhong Yong, you’re the only one who can protect the people and property of Peach Blossom Cove. You stay here and protect them. I’ll bring Juan Zi into the city to treat her illness. Don’t worry; she’ll be cured.”

Qiu Yongkang discussed this with Zhong Yong, and they concluded that no one besides him could protect the Peach Blossom Cove’s people, so that he couldn’t leave at ease.

“No, 1 have to protect the mother.”

Zhong Yong’s head shook like a rattling drum, not listening to anything. His eyes were red from crying, and he kept yelling about his mother.

“It would be great if Shuisheng and Su Qing were here.”

Old master Qiu sighed. Ji Xiaoying walked over to Qiu Yongkang and whispered to him,

“Brother Qiu, sister Qiu Yue saw sister Su Qing’s portrait at the gate of Su Zhou

Ji Xiaoying told Qiu Yongkang about Qiu Yue’s reaction after she saw Su Qing’s portrait. “I’m worried that she’ll hurt sister Su Qing..”
