Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Comeback in the Era Tales-Chapter 38: Tragic Woman

Feng Caihua thought about how she almost fell into Lu Hanhua’s trap just now, and felt lingering fear. She said to Yuan Chun, "Yuan Chun, thank you for earlier. If you hadn’t appeared in time, I might have been tied to Lu Hanhua for life."

"No need to say anything between sisters." With 20 points in hand, Yuan Chun was very happy and in a good mood, as she was finally not in the negative assets anymore.

"Yuan Chun, don’t tell anyone about this. I will never be involved with Lu Hanhua again. I had been wanting to break up with him, but just hadn’t been able to make up my mind. Now it’s clear, he dared to bully me against my will; he’s not a good person. My brother told me before that he’s not a decent man, and I didn’t believe him. But now it seems he’s just a petty man."

Yuan Chun looked at her, smiling and patting her back. She withdrew the spiritual power she had previously released onto her and said, "Caihua, when us women get married, it’s like a second reincarnation. We must clean our eyes and see clearly. A man can be poor, but he absolutely cannot have poor character."

"Hmm, I understand now." After experiencing Lu Hanhua, she no longer dared to pursue free love—it was too terrifying.

Lu Hanhua’s pursuit of Feng Caihua was no secret; everyone in the village knew about it. Later, Feng Caihua agreed to his pursuit and they started dating.

However, the village head’s family didn’t agree with their relationship.

Firstly, Lu Zhiqing was a weak scholar who couldn’t do farm work and couldn’t even support himself with his work points. How could he support a wife and children in the future?

Secondly, Lu Zhiqing had a shifty look in his eyes and too many scheming thoughts. The village head and his wife worried that he had other motives for pursuing their daughter.

So, the village head’s family tried to prevent their daughter from dating Lu Hanhua.

But Feng Caihua was easily fooled by Lu Hanhua’s sweet talk. She felt her parents’ opposition was hindering her pursuit of free love and blocking her path to happiness.

Of course, that was her previous thought.

Since witnessing He Hongyu’s downfall at the town square that day, she had been extremely uneasy, unable to sleep soundly at night.

She also felt resistant to Lu Hanhua’s advances.

Whenever she was with Lu Hanhua, she felt surrounded by countless eyes watching her, as if taking a wrong step would lead to her being caught at the scene and taken to the square for public judgment.

Now that she had broken up with Lu Hanhua, she felt as if a heavy stone had been lifted from her chest.

The feelings of fear and anxiety disappeared.

Even her mood became more relaxed.

Halfway down the mountain, Yuan Chun had good luck; she caught two wild chickens and shared one with Feng Caihua.

Feng Caihua declined, "I didn’t contribute, you can take it home to eat."

"Take it, I often catch wild chickens now that I can hunt." Yuan Chun stuffed the chicken into her hands but still offered a reminder, "Carry it away from people. Don’t let anyone see it."

"I understand." Feng Caihua stopped refusing, picked some wild taro leaves on the road to wrap the chicken up, and held it in her arms.

When they reached the village, the two parted ways.

Yuan Chun hummed a tune while walking home.

As she passed by an abandoned house that no one lived in, her keen ears caught faint sounds coming from inside.

Curious, Yuan Chun stored the wild chicken in the System Space, then leapt into the abandoned courtyard.

She then saw a faint flicker of light inside the house.

Curiously approaching the window, she saw a very handsome and elegant man in tattered clothes, holding a torch and searching for something inside.
