This little girl deserves to wear such nice clothes, it would be more suitable for her.

Li stared at Xia Mei's clothes with a hint of greed in her eyes.

The Su family is quite nice to Xia Mei, so Xia Mei must know something about the Su family's affairs. Once she knows what the Su family does for a living, she will be able to do the same. Then she will have money.

After hearing what Li said, Xia Mei was not stupid. Although she was a little soft-tempered, she was not stupid either.

Moreover, during these days at the Su family, following Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Luo, her temperament has gradually become more cheerful, and she is no longer as timid as before.

When she saw Li just now, she suddenly remembered the past days and the fear in her bones. But now after listening to Li's words, she slowly understood that Li was stopping her here today, probably to ask her about the Su family.

Thinking of this, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself that she would definitely not tell anyone about the Su family's affairs. Li was a difficult person to deal with, and now that there was no one around, she had to think of a way to leave quickly.

Li saw that Xia Mei didn't say anything, but just kept shaking her head. She wanted to burst out with anger in her heart, but when she thought of the purpose of her visit today, she still held back the words on her lips and spoke again:

"What are you afraid of, kid? How can I harm you? I've had my eyes on Su Mu. When you got married, your father and I wanted to go, but..."

After a pause, he continued, "I have prepared gifts for you. They are at home. Why don't you come with me to take a look?"

Li forced a smile and looked very kind, as if she were Xia Mei's biological mother.

"No...no...I should go back, or A-Mu will come looking for me!"

Xia Mei spoke softly, mentioning Su Mu's name, hoping that Li would give up. They were right at the entrance of the village, and if Su Mu couldn't wait for her to return, he would definitely come out to look for her.

But seeing that no one passed by at this time, she began to feel a little anxious.

"Just come back with me, and I'll ask Su Mu to pick you up later."

After saying that, Li walked forward and tried to hold Xia Mei. She talked for a long time, but Xia Mei refused to say a word. She was already impatient.

Let’s wait until we get back to Xia’s house and see if she still says it.

Xia Mei was startled and took a step back. Just as she was panicking, she heard a voice calling her: "Meizi, why are you still here? I just saw Su Mu looking for you."

Hearing the voice, Li withdrew her hand awkwardly and turned back angrily. She wanted to see who was causing so much trouble.

Xia Mei was secretly delighted when she heard the voice. Finally, someone passed by. Now Li didn't dare to pull her openly.

Xia Mei looked in the direction of the voice and shouted in surprise, "Aunt Rong!"

Li curled her lips and turned her head to roll her eyes. Who did she think it was? It turned out to be Su Mu's neighbor, Yun Rong.

Yun Rong doesn't interact much with the people in the village on weekdays, but Lu Yunqi is studying at the Qinghuai Academy in the town. There are not many scholars in the village. If he passes the examination and becomes a scholar in the future, it will be a great achievement in Yunli Village.

Therefore, the villagers did not worry too much about the Lu family, but they did not dare to cause trouble for Yun Rong.

Otherwise, how could Yunrong, a widow, live such a stable life in Yunli Village?

"I'm about to go back, come here, let's go together."

Yunrong looked at Li and waved to Xia Mei.

"Hey, I'll be right back."

Xia Mei didn't bother to look at Li's expression. She jumped past Li and ran to Yun Rong's side.

Yunrong looked at Li without saying anything, and the two of them walked back to the Su family side by side.

Looking at Xia Mei's back, Li spat fiercely and cursed in her heart: This little bitch actually dared to reject her. If she meets her again next time, she will see how she teaches her a lesson.

Watching Xia Mei walking further and further away, Li could only swallow her anger. She stomped her feet unwillingly, then turned around and walked back home.

"Meizi, you're back. Amu saw that you hadn't come back for a while, so he was about to go out to look for you."

When Mrs. Luo saw Xia Mei who had just pushed open the gate and walked in, she hurried forward and spoke to her.

Seeing that Xia Mei didn't say anything, she looked very different from usual, and her face was a little pale.

Only then did he notice that Xia Mei seemed to be frightened by something. Just as he was about to speak again, he saw Yun Rong following in from behind.

Luo was even more confused. Why did Yunrong come to the Su family at this time? Didn’t he just leave?

Seeing the movement in the yard, the other members of the Su family also came out. Yun Rong waved at Su Mu and said softly, "Amu, come here first."

Although Su Mu was a little confused, he still obediently stepped forward and took the basket of vegetables from Xia Mei's hand.

At this time, Yun Rong spoke to everyone in the Su family: "I just met Li at the entrance of the village. She was stopping Mei Zi, so I brought Mei Zi back."

After saying that, he patted Xia Mei's hand to comfort her, nodded slightly to the Su family members in the yard, turned around and walked out of the yard.

The Su family will definitely ask Xia Mei about this matter. It is not convenient for her to be here, and the recent affairs of the Su family have been widely discussed in the village.

She often came to the Su family. She had seen the things in the yard and could think of something in her mind.

However, these are the Su family's livelihood, so it is not appropriate for her to ask about them. It is better to let the Su family members find out the truth themselves.

"Come into the house first!"

Old Man Su said something to everyone in a calm voice.

After everyone else entered the house, Su He walked quickly forward, closed the courtyard door, then turned around and followed them into the main room.

"Meizi, don't be afraid. Tell me, did Li cause you trouble just now?"

Old Man Su had a wooden face, thinking that the Su family had given one or two taels of silver to the Xia family in the past, and Xia Mei had already married Su Mu. If Li wanted to cause trouble for her, the Su family would not be easy to bully.

After hearing what Old Man Su said, everyone in the Su family looked at Xia Mei, waiting for her to speak.

After hearing what Old Man Su said, Xia Mei felt relieved. Now that she was back at the Su family, she had nothing to be afraid of, especially since Su Mu was still by her side.

"I was just on my way back from picking vegetables when I was... stopped by her."

Xia Mei no longer wants to call that person her mother. Now Luo is her mother and the Su family is her home.

She paused, then continued, "She was just trying to scare me and get me to go back to the Xia family."

"She also asked if our family had made a lot of money."

Upon hearing this, Su Mu slowly clenched his fists. Why was this Li still lingering around? Now she was specifically looking for trouble when Xia Mei was alone.

Last time it was Xia Xiaobao, this time it was Li. The people in the Xia family are so annoying!
