Grandpa Xie came back from a cousin's place, and saw a dozen men at the door of his house, with various things in their hands. He thought it was his eldest son who had caused trouble again, but his heart suddenly became knotted.
"What's going on? Why are everyone gathering in front of my house?"
When he shouted, everyone turned to look over.
"It's uncle who's back. My cousin called us over just now. He said that the second cousin-in-law took her niece to hunt hogweed. She hasn't come back at this hour. She was worried that something might happen again, so she asked us all to bring our guys over. Let’s go to the mountains and have a look.”
Grandpa Xie frowned, instinctively feeling that something was not right.
Just then Xie Xiuran came out: "Dad, you are back. Auntie is very anxious in the house. These two brothers and sisters have a short time to go out to hunt pigweed, especially if something happened in the mountains, so we are I’m thinking of going up the mountain to look for it.”
Xie Laosan was carrying a hoe and happened to be blocking the door.
"Don't we usually hunt pigweed at the foot of the mountain? Who goes up the mountain to hunt pigweed?"
His opening really attracted the agreement of several people.
They all live here, and they usually hunt pigweed at the foot of the mountain, especially the female relatives, who usually don't go up the mountain.
Xie Xiuran sighed: "That's what I said, but I just sent your Shiro over there to take a look, and there was no one at the foot of the mountain. I'm just worried."
They were talking at the door of Xie's house, and where Liu Ruolan was hunting pigweeds on the mountainside, a wretched-looking man in his early thirties came. He walked around in circles several times without seeing anyone. I can't help but feel a little anxious.
"Didn't we agree to settle here? Could it be that I remembered it wrong?"
The man turned around, seeing that it was not too dark now, and simply walked forward again, for fear that he would remember it wrong again.
Although he didn't see the person who was supposed to be here, the man was not anxious at all. He took out a purse that was obviously for women from his sleeve pocket, and then put it between his nose and smelled it, and smiled even more obscenely. .
"Tsk tsk, I heard that the talented lady is famous for her beauty! Hehe, I didn't expect that she would take advantage of me!"
The more the man laughed, the more unrestrained he became. As a result, without checking anything, his feet staggered and he was about to pounce forward. He immediately hugged the tree nearby. This is a subconscious reaction of human beings.
When he stood firm again while holding on to the tree, he quickly wiped the cold sweat with his sleeve, forgetting that he was holding a purse in his hand earlier.
And the purse that he ignored had already slid down the slope several feet and was submerged in the grass.
After the man looked around, he started to go back, planning to go back to the original place. Maybe the beautiful lady was already in place by now.
Liu Ruolan avoided the scholar's gift, and then she felt blessed. The scholar thanked her again and again, and then the village chief's son sent her away.
The village chief smiled and touched Xie Rongzhao's head: "Good boy, you picked up so much money and you didn't even get greedy. You are worthy of being a child taught by a scholar!"
Xie Rongzhao raised his head and smiled innocently: "Master, please don't tell others about the few coins that uncle just gave me. I want to save them for my father to study."
The village chief's smile froze. Everyone in Xie's village knew about Xie Cheng and his wife's partiality.
This poor child has already started planning to save money for her father at such a young age.
He is filial!
"Okay, grandpa won't say anything."
Xie Rongzhao looked grateful and pressed forward: "Then the two uncles who were here just now can't say anything."
The two sons of the village chief laughed loudly: "Okay, we won't say anything."
Just as Liu Ruolan was thinking about saying goodbye, she was interrupted by Xie Laifu, the youngest son of the village chief's family.
"Hey, cousin? Why are you here? Go back quickly, something big has happened!"
Liu Ruolan was puzzled: "Huh?"
Xie Laifu slapped his thigh and said anxiously: "Dad, their family's affairs are quite big. I guess you have to go there, otherwise this matter will get worse."
The village chief was confused after hearing this, and was not in a hurry to go out. He asked his younger son to speak clearly.
Xie Laifu told the story in a few words, and Liu Ruolan's face turned extremely pale.
Xie Rongzhao naturally understood it, but she was only a five-year-old child now. Even if she understood, she could only pretend not to understand.
"Grandpa, why can't I understand? The uncle that grandma and I met at your house just now, why did it become a private meeting?"
Xie Rongzhao said this deliberately to remind everyone present that they had witnesses.
The village chief's face darkened. Although he didn't know what Xie Cheng and his wife wanted to do, they were not so eager to ruin the reputation of their daughter-in-law!
And he still used this excuse to hook up with a foreign man!
Doesn't this mean taking off Xie Xiuwen's face and stomping it on the ground?
What do they want to do?
The village chief took them all the way to Xie's house. After walking a few steps, Liu Ruolan's legs felt a little weak, mainly because of anger.
Thanks to the eldest daughter-in-law of the village chief's family who supported her all the way, otherwise, she might have fallen.
It can be said that the lights in the Xie family hall are brightly lit at this time.
In addition to the Xie family members, there were also many nephews and nephews who followed him to the mountains to look for people.
In the center of the hall, a man was tied up and made to kneel there.
Grandpa Xie didn’t know his wife’s arrangement, so he just frowned and asked, “Tell me what you said before!”
The man raised his head, his eyes showed no intention of evading, and he spoke very smoothly.
"I made an appointment with Mrs. Liu to meet on the mountain. She took a step ahead. I was about to leave, but I was stopped by your people. As for where she went, I don't know."
Grandpa Xie was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick. This was ruining the reputation of the old Xie family!
"That's nonsense! You're a scoundrel who knows how to slander people and is quick to talk. Who are you and what are your intentions in coming to Xie's Village?"
This is what Xie Laosan asked.
He simply didn't believe that his second sister-in-law would hook up with his foreigner, not to mention that this man was born with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, which was not a good thing at first glance.
Unexpectedly, the man did not panic, but looked proud.
"I'm not talking nonsense! It was Madam Liu who took the initiative to seduce me. She said that the man was not at home, staying alone in the empty room, and was unbearably lonely. How else could he find me? I, Hu San, have some respect in the town. If It’s not because of how beautiful she is, how could I like this country woman?"
In and out of words, Liu Ruolan was actually demoted to the point of being worthless. Not only that, but there was also a bit of pride and arrogance in his tone. Such behavior naturally aroused a burst of indignation among the people in the room!
Grandpa Xie wanted to ask again, but Grandma Xie got there first.
"Okay! Let me tell you why she has been living with her parents for a month. She has a side chick outside. Our Xie family must not keep this Liu Ruolan!"
