General, the lady escaped again

Mother Ji felt that whenever she went out to deliver meals to Aunt Li and the others, many eyes would inadvertently glance at her. Once or twice would be fine, but as more and more eyes were focused on her, there must be something wrong.

"Mom, has anything happened recently?" Aunt Ji walked to Aunt Li's side and asked softly.

"No?" Aunt Li shook her head. Nothing special had happened recently. Except for Ji Changqing being locked up in jail, everyone had fun with it for a while, and nothing else.

"I feel like someone is always looking at me." Ji Xiaomu said puzzledly. However, those people's gazes were not malicious, but there was a sense of scrutiny.

"Really? I'll go ask for you." Upon hearing that it was related to Mrs. Ji, Aunt Li looked around and it seemed that quite a few people looked at them from time to time.

"Wait a minute, I'll go and ask around for you." Aunt Li patted Ji Xiaomu comfortingly, then turned and walked towards the crowd.

When Aunt Li approached the crowd, before she could ask, the villagers had already started asking.

"Hey, Li family, what do you think of the girl you adopted?" someone asked.

"What's the matter?" Aunt Li also sensed something was wrong. These words did not sound like good things.

As expected, the man sneered. "She was divorced by the Liu family and became an abandoned woman. She has found a target so quickly? The young cowherd is poor. She won't let the young cowherd go just to get married, right?"

"Shut up, what do you know? You're just talking shit. My old lady is fine. Which cowherd? What does it have to do with him? Explain it to me clearly." Aunt Li said directly. The man shrugged his shoulders, and someone who had a better relationship with Aunt Li told her the rumor in the village.

"Someone saw the little cowherd and your adopted daughter doing something in a dark alley. It's immoral in broad daylight!"

"I heard that it was the little cowherd who trapped your adopted daughter in a dark alley and did something to her. Anyway, it was said that your daughter ran away crying."

"I heard that your adopted daughter dragged the young cowherd into a dark alley in broad daylight and seduced him."

"I heard that your adopted daughter is pregnant."

"Some people also said that your adopted daughter was kept by a restaurant in town and has not come out for two hours."

"..."

"Which one of these is true? Tell me." The curious gossipers gathered around Aunt Li and asked. The versions they heard were different, but they all had one thing in common: it was related to Ji Xiaomu and Fang Chen.

Let’s not talk about how ugly the rumor is, but the relationship alone is enough to make people think about it.

"They have nothing to do with each other. Xiao Niulang saved that girl's life before. Last time when he went to the town with me, a gangster wanted to molest her in the street, but Xiao Niulang threw him into the water. He saved my old lady, and that's the only relationship between the two of them. They just nodded to each other when they met in the town. Look at what you guys have spread about it. Is that reasonable?" Aunt Li retorted.

"That's right, we care about it too." Everyone felt a little embarrassed by being confronted.

"Is this how you care? How sad must she be when she was abandoned? She finally found a job, and you guys are still saying such things behind her back. Do you have any conscience?" Aunt Li said angrily. "It's a pity that the maid usually brings you soup and water to drink. You are a bunch of ungrateful wolves. Bah."

"This... this is really not what we meant!"
