How could someone be unhappy living in a matriarchal society?

Chapter 5 Someone's causing trouble

In his previous life, all the men hated him, calling him a lowly prostitute and a shameless whore.

Did I really become a lucky star in this lifetime?

Ha...how ironic.

The man was overwhelmed with emotion and had many feelings.

"Uncle Wu, you've arrived." Chu Ci, who had just returned home from hunting, greeted the guest warmly upon finding him at home.

"Chu family girl, where have you been?"

"They went hunting."

Wu Liu's curiosity was immediately piqued, and she ran over to see, "What did you hit?"

Chu Ci put down his basket, which contained five wild rabbits, four pheasants, and a lot of wild vegetables and mushrooms.

Upon seeing this, Wu Liu exclaimed in surprise, "My God! You've hunted so many prey!"

Chu Ci shook his head in dissatisfaction, "Not much, not much to show for it today."

In order to explore the back mountain, she did not go to the places she had been before, but instead walked several miles west.

Unexpectedly, the prey there was all very small, and there weren't many mushrooms growing either.

“This is already a lot,” Wu Liu said, her eyes full of envy. “If my girl had made this, I would have been happy for days.”

Song He was also shocked. "Yes, Sister Chu, you're already amazing."

There are no hunting women in their village; most of them are farm women who farm.

This move by Chu Ci has already become very noticeable in Sanyuan Village.

"Uncle Wu, do you prefer rabbits or pheasants?"

Wu Liu paused, understood what she meant, and quickly waved her hand.

"No need, you've gone to so much trouble to hunt some game, you don't need to give it to me."

"It's alright, there are so many, just take one."

"That's so embarrassing."

Seeing that Wu Liu kept declining, Chu Ci took it upon himself to get him a wild rabbit.

"If you skin a rabbit properly, you can make a scarf, which is better than a pheasant skin."

Wu Liu declined several times, but seeing Chu Ci's excessive enthusiasm, she finally accepted it.

"Thank you so much, Chu girl. If you ever need anything in the future, feel free to come to us."

"Okay, Uncle Wu, you should go back now, it's getting dark."

Wu Liu smiled happily, "Okay, then let's go back."

Shi An obediently saw the two out, saying, "Take care, Uncle Wu."

"Husband of the Chu family, it's getting cold, you should go back now."

"Goodbye, Brother Shi'an."

Shi An smiled and waved to Song He and Wu Liu, "Goodbye, come visit often when you have time."

"Ok."

After the outsiders left, Chu Ci placed the pheasants and rabbits next to the house.

This time she didn't shoot the animals, after all, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and she was afraid the meat would spoil if left overnight.

They only managed to wound their limbs.

Shi An looked at the rabbit on the ground and suddenly had an idea.

"My lady, how about we choose a female rabbit and a male rabbit to raise?"

Chu Ci immediately understood his meaning.

"That works too. Rabbits reproduce quickly anyway, and they'll have several litters in just a few months."

The Chu Ci used the remaining wood to build a simple fence.

I picked out two rabbits and put them in.

Shi An took two carrots and tossed them to them.

The rabbits immediately ran off to eat.

The man watched the rabbits eating carrots and couldn't help but smile. "So cute..."

"If you like, pick a few to keep as pets."

Shi An shook her head, "No need, let's just sell it."

He knew that Chu Ci didn't have much savings right now and didn't want such a small matter to affect her ability to earn money.

Chu Ci returned early today, before it was time for dinner, but after Shi An settled Rabbit in, she still asked him a question.

"My lady, are you hungry now? Would you like me to prepare dinner?"

"No need, you can continue with your work."

"it is good."

Chu Ci took out the plow from the woodshed and cultivated a vegetable garden next to the rabbit farm, then sowed the seeds and buried them.

After a little exercise, she started to sweat.

Shi An thoughtfully stepped forward and handed over a handkerchief, saying, "Wipe your sweat, my wife."

"no need."

Chu Ci casually wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, while giving a gentle smile, "Your handkerchief smells so good, don't get it dirty."

Shi An accidentally met Chu Ci's gaze, paused for a few seconds, and then immediately turned her head away, saying, "It's...it's okay."

"Could you water this place from now on?"

"Hmm...yes, that's fine."

After the man reluctantly agreed, he quickly turned and left.

A gentle breeze blew by, revealing his already bright red ear tips.

When Wu Liu was carrying the wild rabbit back, she happened to run into Zhang Cui, who was returning from doing laundry.

He immediately smiled and deliberately leaned closer to show off, "Oh my, who is this? Isn't this Zhang Cui, who's always thinking about selling her son for a high price?"

Zhang Cui was speechless. She glared at him and said, "Are you sick in the head?"

Wu Liu held up the rabbit in front of him and waved it, looking smug. "Look what this is!"

The man opposite rolled his eyes, looking utterly disdainful.

"You're making such a fuss over a wild rabbit? You're really ignorant."

"This was given to me by that girl Chu Ci. She goes hunting in the mountains every day now. Yesterday she even caught a deer and sold it for a lot of money."

Zhang Cui simply didn't believe it. "Ha! Could someone with that small frame hunt?"

"Believe it or not, I saw her come back with several rabbits and pheasants with my own eyes."

After saying that, Wu Liu touched his son's face and said meaningfully, "When the rabbit fur is cleaned tomorrow, Dad will make you a rabbit fur scarf."

Song He was very happy, "Thank you, Dad!"

Zhang Cui: "............"

What bad luck!

After watching the two unpleasant figures leave, Zhang Cui couldn't help but spit out a curse.

"What kind of trash are you, trying to show off in front of me! Pah!"

After venting his anger, the man took the basin home and saw his daughter lying lazily on the tatami mat, not doing anything productive. His temper flared up immediately.

"Do you even know that sickly girl Chu Ci went hunting in the mountains, while you just lie at home doing nothing? I really... I'd rather have given birth to a mouse than you!"

Li Ziang felt bewildered after being slapped by his father.

"Are you kidding me? I used to beat Chu Ci up every day. She's so weak, how could she possibly go hunting!"

"Anyway, someone said that Chu Ci hunted a deer yesterday and sold it for a lot of money."

"Oh? Is that so!" Upon hearing this, Li Ziang, who had been lying on the bed, instantly perked up.

"It's a good thing that she has money now."

Zhang Cui didn't understand, "What's so good about other people having money?"

"I'll go and snatch it."

The man disagreed, saying, "Your mother doesn't like you fighting."

Li Ziang didn't care. "It's okay. Now that we have money, she won't say anything. Besides, it's not like I haven't done this before."

"......"

Watching her daughter stride away, Zhang Cui remained silent for a long time, but ultimately said nothing.

It's all because Wu Liu has been causing trouble for him lately because of Chu Ci. That girl deserves to suffer a bit.

Li Zi'ang gathered his cronies and swaggered towards Chu Ci's courtyard.

Some villagers who saw her on the road ignored her, while others sighed.

"That girl from the Li family went to cause trouble for Chu Ci again."

"Chu Ci has had a hard life, she's already poor, and she still went to cause trouble for others, she's a real scumbag."

"Who says it isn't?"

"That girl Chu Ci is pitiful. It's all because her parents died too early, leaving her all alone. How can a scholar like her possibly beat that strong girl from the Li family?"

"yes...."

"How pitiful..."

"How pitiful."

Chu Ci had just sat down at the dining table when the front door of her house was kicked open.

Shi An was startled and dropped the chopsticks in her hand.

A burly woman with a pockmarked face barged in.

"Chu Ci, are you eating? Let me see what you're eating..." Li Zi'ang was halfway through his sentence when he saw Shi An's face and was completely stunned.

She had never seen such a handsome man before.

Chu Ci frowned, her anger rising. "What are you doing here? You kicked down my front door."

"...Ah...I, I've come to borrow money from you."

Li Ziang coughed twice, deliberately inhaling to make himself appear more robust, and stared intently at Shi An.

"You must be Chu Ci's new husband. You're quite handsome."

Shi An lowered her head, feeling somewhat nauseous.

The way this woman looked at him was no different from the greedy women he had seen in his past life, making him feel disgusted.

I really want to poison her eyes.

Seeing this, Chu Ci stepped forward to block Li Zi'ang's view, speaking in an unfriendly tone.

"I don't have any money to lend you, so get out of here."

"Huh?" Li Zi'ang's expression immediately turned impatient. She looked at Chu Ci, grabbed her collar, and looked fierce.

"Do you want to die? Huh?!"

Li Zi'ang was about 1.9 meters tall, while Chu Ci was only about 1.8 meters tall.

Not to mention that Li Zi'ang was broad-shouldered and strong, weighing about twice as much as the Chu Ci.

It seemed like one punch would be enough to knock her down.

Shi An immediately became worried, "My wife...you, you must let go of my wife!!"

Li Ziang licked his lips and smiled wickedly, "Little beauty, if you come and kiss me, I'll let him go."

"You!!" Shi An was furious upon hearing this, her face turning red.

Chu Ci's eyes flashed, and without saying a word, he threw a punch.

Li Ziang was almost sent flying by the blow, and it took him several meters to regain his balance. He couldn't open his left eye for a long time.

"Are you looking for death?" Chu Ci clenched his fist and looked at the other party expressionlessly. "Get out of here with your men right now."

“…” Li Ziang was enraged by her and shouted, “You…you actually dared to hit me!!!”

Chu Ci said impatiently, "Are you talking nonsense? I've already hit you."

"Hehe...you're dead today." Li Ziang raised his fist, ran a few steps, and slammed it at Chu Ci.

She thought one punch would knock the person unconscious, but the woman, who was originally very weak, actually reached out and blocked her fist.

It really did block it, which greatly shocked Li Ziang.

Chu Ci's fist was clenched very firmly. Li Ziang tried to pull it out, but couldn't budge it at all. The woman was startled. "You...when did you become so strong?"

Chu Ci didn't speak, but forcefully twisted his right hand.

With a snap, Li Ziang's right hand was dislocated, followed by a pig-like scream.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!"

The two burly women who came with Li Ziang exchanged a glance and decided to attack together.

Upon discovering this, Chu Ci released his grip and kicked Li Zi'ang hard in the stomach.

Li Ziang flew out and landed right on the two women, causing the three of them to tumble together.

Chu Ci patted non-existent dust off his hands and looked down at them.

"Get out of here!"

“…” Shi An stood to the side, covering her mouth, seemingly frightened by the scene.

After catching his breath, Li Ziang stood up unsteadily, clutching his stomach and coughing incessantly. "Damn it! Cough cough, you...you actually dared...cough cough..."

"It's just the same few sentences over and over again, it's so boring."

As Chu Ci spoke, her gaze was like a knife scraping against Li Ziang, and her aura was extremely powerful.

Shi An was somewhat surprised when he saw it. He didn't expect that Chu Ci, who had always been so gentle to him, would have such an expression.

Li Ziang clenched his teeth, clearly resentful.

"Xie Er, Zhang San, both of you, get her together and beat her to death!!"

"Yes."

The two women who came with him immediately got up from the ground and rushed towards Chu Ci together.

"You dared to injure Sister Li? You're finished."

"Yes, you're finished."

"........."

Chu Ci stood still, and just as they were about to pounce on him, he delivered a flying kick and a sliding tackle, knocking them all down.

While hunting today, she discovered that her strength had increased significantly, making it easy to deal with a peasant girl who didn't know any martial arts techniques.
