Episode 5 recap: Li Lao Tai squeezed Chiyue.
Chiyue, who was not skilled in sewing, accidentally pricked her own hand while mending clothes, which attracted the mockery of two gossipy women nearby. They not only ridiculed her clumsiness but also accused her of being a burden on her husband and owing money to Li Cui. Their disdainful expressions made Chiyue very unhappy. Immediately, she deliberately approached the two women and exhales heavily, warning them not to inhale, or else they would be infected by her misfortune. Frightened, the two women hurriedly ran away, further alienating Chiyue in the village.
Chiyue wanted to repay her debt to Li Cui as soon as possible, so she decided to sell the game she had hunted. While others sold wild chickens and rabbits for fifty coins, Chiyue only sold them for twenty coins. However, despite her efforts to advertise, no one was willing to buy from her due to her reputation for bad luck. At that moment, Xu Mazi openly harassed a woman, who quickly avoided him. Xu Mazi was attracted by Chiyue's beauty and attempted to harass her. However, Chiyue fiercely fought back, causing Xu Mazi to flee. The woman who had been harassed by Xu Mazi ended up buying one of Chiyue's game, finally giving Chiyue a break.
When Li Lao Tai learned that Chiyue had a chance to repay her debt, she decided to take the initiative to deal with Chiyue. She deliberately asked Li Cui to call Chiyue to take care of her. Chiyue enthusiastically agreed and made a bowl of soup for Li Lao Tai that day, adding beneficial ingredients like scallions, ginger, and garlic. However, as soon as Li Lao Tai took a sip, she spat it out and shouted that Chiyue was trying to poison her. Without even eating her meal, Li Lao Tai ran away.
That night, Chiyue took care of Li Lao Tai closely. She either woke her up to use the bathroom or asked her to drink water. She even woke Li Lao Tai up early for exercise, which exhausted her. Together with Li Cui, they called Doctor Wang, intending to use Chiyue as a medicinal sacrifice. Unexpectedly, Chiyue agreed willingly.
