Cheng Qiqi, the Farmer’s Wife

Cheng Xi, a decisive and formidable force in the workplace, transmigrated!

She became Cheng Qiqi, a farmer’s wife in the countryside.

If she had to transmigrate, fine, but why did she have to be a married woman?

And if she had to be a married woman, why did she have to have a child, too?

Sigh! If she had a child, the least they could have done was give her a wealthy family!

Good grief! Her whole family was down on their luck: a husband away at war, a gravely wounded father-in-law confined to bed, a mother-in-law who couldn’t walk, and a mute sister-in-law who was the only normal one. Their three thatched huts leaked in the rain, inside and out.

Heavens! Which immortal had it in for her and arranged such a hopeless situation?

There was nothing for it. Since she was here, she might as well make the best of it.

Cheng Qiqi led her family of elderly, weak, sick, and young in working the fields, striving to get rich and build a comfortable life.

One day, while searching for her husband, who had gone to war and was missing, Cheng Qiqi was attacked by bandits and rescued by a strikingly heroic man.

Cheng Qiqi thanked him profusely, only to see him part his lips and ask, “You don’t recognize me?”

Qiqi stared at him in confusion. “Should I?”

The man replied calmly, “If I’m not mistaken, I’m the father of the child in your arms. I don’t know if you should recognize me or not, either.”
