"Aunt Huang, please come home and sit down." Li Xiaoxiao greeted her warmly.

Seeing that it was Li Xiaoxiao who came out, Aunt Huang waved her hands repeatedly: "I'm not going in. I came to tell you something."

He continued: "Now the rumor has gone viral in the village. They say that the man living in your house now is not your cousin, but your gigolo. Aunt Hua is also shouting that she will go to the government to sue you, saying that you are having an affair and corrupting the morals of the villagers of Qinghe Village. She wants to arrest you as an example. When I heard about it, I hurried over to inform you so that you can be prepared.

Li Xiaoxiao was so angry that she almost laughed. What a thief crying "stop thief". He thought she was a weakling. If it really came to that, he wouldn't mind telling her all her stories.

"Thank you Aunt Huang for making this trip. A person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear. If she really dares to sue me, I will prove my innocence." Li Xiaoxiao thanked her sincerely. Although Aunt Huang liked to take advantage of others, she was an upright person and could be dealt with.

"That's good. Actually, I don't believe it, but after all, people's words are scary. You'd better prove it, so as to shut certain people up." These certain people naturally refer to Aunt Hua.

"Aunt, do you know who was the first to spread this news?" Li Xiaoxiao asked. She already had two candidates in mind: Old Lady Li and Aunt Hua. They were the ones who had a grudge against her, so they were the most suspicious.

Aunt Huang tried hard to recall. She went out late in the afternoon. When she heard it, several people were talking about it. She really didn't know who spread it first.

Si Chengxu was standing just inside the door. He came out for a walk and overheard their conversation. His dark eyes were deep, flashing with an inexplicable light. Her hand unconsciously touched his face. Did he look like a gigolo?

Aunt Huang left, Li Xiaoxiao closed the door, and turned around to see Si Chengxu. How long had he been standing there? What did he hear? No emotion could be seen from his expressionless face. He was a little embarrassed: "You heard it, right?"

"I heard it." Si Chengxu still had no expression, as if he was talking about someone else.

"Don't worry about it. How could you be my gigolo? They're just talking nonsense." Li Xiaoxiao laughed. It was a good thing that some people believed his face, even with that unapproachable face of his. Since he came, he had a forced smile on his face, just today when he touched Li Huawen's head. He usually had a expressionless face.

"I don't care." Si Chengxu turned around and went back into the house.

Leaving Li Xiaoxiao alone, she rolled her eyes at his back. Si Chengxu walked a few steps and suddenly turned his head to look at her, just in time to see her rolling her eyes. Li Xiaoxiao quickly retracted her eyes, smiled at him awkwardly, and said guiltily: "It's okay, I'll take a walk."

After going out, Li Xiaoxiao went straight to the village with a few candies in her pocket. There was a big locust tree in the village, which was a place where children often played. When she arrived, there were a few children there, about seven or eight years old. Li Xiaoxiao recognized them. She had often played with Li Huawen before. They were all children from poor families. They were of school age, but their families had no money to support their studies, so they could only play at home.

"Xiao Linzi, come here." Li Xiaoxiao said to one of the children.

Xiao Linzi is the grandson of the village chief. He has an older brother who studies in the county town. The village chief's family is slightly better off, but they really don't have much money to support their grandson's education.

"Miss, you're looking for me." Xiao Linzi raised his little face, saw that it was her, and ran over quickly.

"Yes." Li Xiaoxiao took out a piece of candy from her pocket and handed it to him: "Sister wants to ask you for help with something."

Sugar is a rare commodity in their village, and the grandson of the village chief is no exception. When Xiao Linzi saw the sugar, he couldn't help drooling. He quickly peeled off the outer wrapping paper, put it in his mouth, and the sweet taste immediately filled every corner of his mouth.

"Today, someone in the village said that I have a man at home. Please help me find out who spread the rumor first." Then he took out a handful of candies from his pocket and said, "Give each of you guys one piece. The rest are all yours. Find out clearly and I will give each of you another piece tomorrow." Li Xiaoxiao smiled and tempted him with delicious food.

As expected, Xiao Lin is a foodie. He couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food and nodded excitedly: "Young lady, don't worry, I will ask them to go home and ask. They will definitely find out the answer."

Xiao Lin guaranteed that he was the leader among the group of children, and this kind of trivial matter was no big deal for him.

Early the next morning, Li Xiaoxiao went out to exercise as usual. From afar, she saw several children, led by Xiao Linzi, running towards her home.

"Young lady, I found out from asking." As they ran closer, Xiao Linzi and the others were breathing heavily, and their speech was intermittent and unclear.

"Take your time, there's no rush." ​​Li Xiaoxiao stopped and looked at them.

"It was the Li family that first spread the news. She told many people in the village that the person living in your house is not a distant cousin of theirs at all. It all happened decades ago and it's impossible for him to be found again." Xiao Linzi told her the news he had gotten. He was small but very smart. He compiled the news from the words of several of his friends, so it was very true.

After hearing this, Li Xiaoxiao nodded with satisfaction. It would be easy to deal with now that she knew who did it.

"Wait for me here for a while." Li Xiaoxiao went home and got a few candies, one for each person, and also got a few snacks and shared them with them.

When the little ones saw the snacks, their faces were filled with joy, as if they were delicacies from land and sea. These things were nothing in Li Xiaoxiao's eyes, but she knew that many people in the village were living in poverty, not to mention pastries.

"Thank you, little miss." Several children said in unison and started eating with big mouthfuls. They finished a snack very quickly and licked the crumbs at the corners of their mouths with satisfaction.

"Miss, if you have any problems in the future, please come to me." After swallowing the last bite of the snack, Xiao Linzi said vaguely. The snack was really delicious. His hand subconsciously reached into his arms, where there was a piece of candy left over from yesterday. He wanted to keep it and eat it slowly later.

Because their home is far from the village and something just happened at home, they didn't go to the village, so Li Dahai didn't know about this yet. The only person who knew about it was Si Chengxu, and he wouldn't tell anyone without even thinking about it, as he is a man who values ​​words very much, let alone this kind of romantic gossip.

Li Huawen has three days off and goes home once a month. Sun is very happy and prepares delicious food for him in different ways every day, fearing that he will not eat well in the academy. Under Li Xiaoxiao's guidance, Sun is now willing to cook generously and there are meat and vegetables for almost every meal, and grains are used occasionally to improve the diet.

It was convenient for Li Xiaoxiao to go up the mountain, so he would go there from time to time to hunt some wild animals, or pick some herbs and dry them, and then go to the county town to sell them.

After dinner, Li Huawen pestered Si Chengxu and said that he wanted to sleep with him. After a day of getting along, the two quickly became familiar with each other. Si Chengxu didn't seem to dislike him and nodded in agreement.

At Chou Shi, a dark shadow quickly went down the mountain.
