The smile on Yun Xinyue's face faded a little, and she said very calmly, "Aunt Li, let's not talk about this."

"I just came here to apologize to you. It's such a good job, but I made you owe favors and offended people."

Maybe it's because human nature is selfish.

Aunt Li felt sorry for her and said, "Xinyue, these are just small things. You don't have to worry about them."

"The important thing now is, what are you going to do with Old Man Sun next? You can't let someone like him stay in your house forever."

If she were to say, Xinyue should drive away ungrateful people like Old Man Sun.

Yun Xinyue spread her hands and said helplessly, "Aunt Li, if I really drive Grandpa Sun away, I don't know what the villagers will say."

"Besides, Grandpa Sun is already old. If I drive him away now, I'll be pushing him to death."

She wanted to complete the task for Grandpa Sun, so how could she drive him away?

Aunt Li knew how gossipy and vicious some people in the village were. She showed disgust on her face, "No matter where you are, there are always some people who can't stand others having a good life and want to trample them under their feet."

At this point, she lowered her voice and said, "You don't know, a few years ago, a daughter-in-law of a family here jumped into the river because of the rumors spread by some people in the village."

Yun Xinyue's eyebrows jumped a few times when she heard this, and she became more alert. "Aunt Li, what's going on?"

Something like this happened in the village, so she must be more careful when doing missions in the future.

The power of rumors is quite great.

Aunt Li looked outside and said quietly, "That's it."

"The daughter-in-law of that family was from another village. She was very beautiful and had a good figure. Many people pursued her, especially rich people. But in the end, she went on a blind date and married her husband."

Yun Xinyue was a little curious, "Why would such a beautiful girl go on a blind date? Is she too picky or is there something else?"

Aunt Li shook her head and sighed, "She was unlucky. She met a pair of vampire parents and a useless brother."

"Her family doesn't favor boys over girls, but her parents don't treat their children as children, but as tools to make money. For example, this girl, because of her outstanding appearance, her parents took advantage of her and offered a dowry of 1.5 million yuan."

Yun Xinyue exclaimed, her eyes widened, "One million and a half million for the betrothal gift?"

"This is a huge sum of money in first-tier cities, let alone in the villages."

Only rich people can afford such a gift; an average family cannot even afford it even if they sell all their belongings.

Aunt Li slapped her thigh with a look of disdain, "Who said it wasn't, but this couple said their daughter is beautiful, and there are many rich people willing to spend money to buy her."

"Buy?!" Yun Xinyue was so shocked that her voice rose slightly, "This..."

Aunt Li curled her lips and said, "They are buying. This couple is selling their daughter as a commodity."

"You know, rich people are not fools. Don't they know to spend less money to find a better girl? Who would spend so much money to marry such a wife?"

Yun Xinyue nodded in agreement, "Rich people are not fools. Who would marry a daughter-in-law with vampire parents?"

Next, Yun Xinyue learned about the follow-up events from Aunt Li.

The girl's parents saw that their daughter was 28 years old and no one was willing to spend a lot of money to buy her. Their son was anxious to get married and they were even more worried that their daughter would be a burden to them. Finally, they agreed to sell their daughter for a dowry of 600,000 yuan.

It’s a man I met through a blind date.

After marriage, the girl did not have a good life. Her in-laws treated her like a pig and a dog, beating and scolding her. Sometimes they didn't even give her enough food to eat. People in the village often saw her with bruises on her face.

Later, I don't know where the rumor started from, saying that she was not disciplined before marriage, and had fooled around with many men, and relied on men to build a house and buy a car for her parents' family, and to find a wife for her younger brother.

This resulted in her in-laws beating her even more harshly.

Her parents refused to help her, and she eventually committed suicide by jumping into the river.

Aunt Li sighed repeatedly, with a tone of regret: "She committed suicide, and her brother from her natal family came to make trouble, and only gave up after he took 100,000 yuan from her husband's family."

"The only good thing is that her parents were kicked out of the house by their own son and they don't support them."

Yun Xinyue sighed after hearing this and became more alert. She must be more careful when doing tasks in the future and must not get involved in these rumors.

But what she didn't expect was that there were already rumors about her and Lan Ci in the village.

On the way back, Yun Xinyue overheard a few villagers chatting.

"Tell me, what is the relationship between Yun Xinyue and that man? I think there is something unclear between these two."

"Tsk, who can't see that she is Yun Xinyue's mistress? Only some people in the village are stupid enough to believe that she is Yun Xinyue's guest."

"Hey, hey, hey, let me tell you, I saw it with my own eyes. Yun Xinyue and that man were having an affair. Maybe Yun Xinyue has many men, otherwise how could she live such a comfortable life, buying things all day long."

Yun Xinyue laughed angrily after hearing this. She appeared in front of the villagers and sneered, "I want to ask you, when did you see me having an affair with a man?"

Several villagers did not expect that Yun Xinyue would hear them by chance, and they felt awkward and uncomfortable for a moment.

"Weren't you very talkative just now? Why are you silent now?" Yun Xinyue deliberately raised her voice and shouted, "Everyone, come and take a look at these tongue-throwing things and see how they slander others."

There were several villagers nearby. When they heard this, they immediately gathered around and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Yun Xinyue was not shy. She pointed at a few gossipy villagers and said, "They said they saw with their own eyes that I had affairs with many men, and that I could only live such a comfortable life now because of men."

When the villagers who were watching heard this, they looked at these people differently.

"Aren't these the people who are the most talkative in our village?"

"It's not surprising that it's these people. They always gossip about others in the village and can't stand seeing others do well."

"Tell me, when did you see Xinyue having affairs with so many men?"

Yun Xinyue stood there with her arms folded, looking at those people with cold eyes, "If you don't explain clearly today, I will go to the village chief's house and ask him to do justice for me."

If this matter today is not handled properly, there will be a lot of rumors like this in the future.

None of them had expected that Yun Xinyue would be so shameless as to speak out such an ugly thing in public.

For a moment, several people stood there with awkward smiles, wanting to leave but unable to.

Yun Xinyue urged, "Why don't you keep talking? Weren't you speaking so confidently just now?"

"Do you dare to say that you have nothing to do with that guy named Lan Ci?" One of them said in a neither loud nor soft voice, out of anger.
