But she was not worried, as she had already thought of a solution.

"I know mother must be wondering why my temperament is different now than before." Li Xi looked out the window with a lonely expression.

"Actually, I didn't fall into the water accidentally that day. It was my second uncle's cousin who pushed me into the water on purpose."

"What?!" Madam Liu widened her eyes. She still remembered Daya's defeated face and weak breath when she was rescued. Her father had just left at that time, and she was really afraid that Daya would follow her father.

"My cousin is bad!" Hu Zi said with a frown on his face and raised his little fist.

"You kid, why didn't you tell me earlier!" Madam Liu didn't care what was right or wrong, or whether she was unfamiliar or not, and looked at Li Xi with a distressed look on her face.

Li Xi sneered, "What can I do if I tell you? Can you go to my second uncle's house to seek justice for me?"

Madam Liu's indignant expression paused, and her demeanor suddenly became listless. Daya was blaming herself.

Li Xi saw at a glance what Madam Liu was thinking. She said that on purpose to make her feel guilty.

"I saw Dad after I fell into the water."

Madam Liu: ⊙⊙

Huzi: (????????) wow!*?

"Sister, you've seen Dad, let me see him too," Hu Zi blinked his big eyes and looked at Li Xi eagerly, "How can I see Dad?"

Nowadays, people pay much attention to ghosts and gods, especially among the common people, so Li Xi was not worried at all about being exposed. After all, no one except himself could prove that what he said was a lie.

"Hu Zi, don't talk nonsense." Before Madam Liu had the chance to ask what she wanted to ask, she heard Hu Zi say that he wanted to see his father, but he couldn't just go and see him.

"Mom, Hu Zi is not talking nonsense. Hu Zi hasn't seen Dad for a long time. Hu Zi misses Dad." Hu Zi pursed his lips, looking like he was about to cry.

Li Xi touched Hu Zi's head and said, "Hu Zi, Dad is gone and will never come back."

She had to make this clear. What if Hu Zi believed her and suddenly jumped into the river to find his father? That would be the end of him.

Hearing her say this, Hu Zi said nothing and lowered his head with a lonely expression.

Li Xi hugged him and continued, "After I fell into the water, I just felt myself sinking and sinking, and then I lost consciousness.

When I regained consciousness, I found myself standing in front of a large bronze door. The door was open, and the gatekeepers were one with a bull's head and the other with a horse's face.

People with indifferent expressions lined up and walked in.

I couldn't control my body and followed them to line up. Just when it was almost my turn, someone suddenly pulled me out of the line.

After coming out of the team, I found that the person who pulled me out was actually my father.

My father told me that he is now an official in the underworld, and that I am not destined to die, so he asked me to come back soon.

My father also specifically told me that my mother had a weak personality and asked me to be stronger in the future and take good care of the family.

After he finished speaking, Dad waved his sleeves and I opened my eyes and saw Mom. "

"Your father is worried about us." Lady Liu's eyes were red, tears dripping down her cheeks, "Daya, from now on, I will listen to you about family matters. I will do whatever you say."

Li Xi looked at the scene in front of him and was not surprised at all, "Dad also said that he is not allowed to tell others about his affairs in the underworld. Dad is working in the underworld, and the people in the underworld are not allowed to have contact with the living, nor are they allowed to tell the living about the existence of the underworld and them.

But Dad did it for me..."

"Mother understands. Mother understands everything. Don't worry. I won't tell anyone. Huzi..."

"Mom," Li Xi interrupted her and touched Hu Zi's head, "Let me talk to Hu Zi."

"Okay." Madam Liu wiped the tears from her face, pretended nothing had happened, and turned to walk out. "You talk to him, I'll go cook for you."

Li Xi was just about to talk to Hu Zi when she suddenly felt wetness on the hand that was holding him.

Her expression paused, and she reached out to hold Hu Zi's head. Tears as big as beans flowed from his eyes like lines. His eyeballs were red and watery, and he looked aggrieved and pitiful.

"Huzi, stop crying. Tell me, what's wrong with you?"

"Sister, doesn't Dad like Hu Zi?" Hu Zi asked sobbingly.

Li Xi felt very distressed when she saw Hu Zi twitching. She was a soul from another world and had no sense of belonging to this world. The same went for Liu Niangzi. The reason why she was nice to her was because she inherited the feelings of the original owner's body.

But Li Xi really loves this younger brother who has been following her around and always chattering about taking care of her in her old age since she came into this world.

"Dad only sees my sister and not Huzi. Does Dad not like Huzi?" Huzi looked at Li Xi cautiously, fearfully and expectantly.

Li Xi didn't expect this to be the reason. She held Hu Zi in her arms and said, "Who said that? Dad likes Hu Zi the most."

"Then why didn't Dad come to see Hu Zi?" Hu Zi looked at Li Xi eagerly.

Li Xi: "Because Daddy is afraid of hurting Huzi. Huzi is still too young. Daddy is afraid of scaring Huzi."

Hu Zi's eyes lit up. It turned out that his father didn't dislike Hu Zi.

After crying for a while, Hu Zi, who had recovered, felt very embarrassed. "Sister, Hu Zi is not afraid. Hu Zi wants to see Daddy."

"Huzi," Li Xi looked at Huzi seriously and said, "Huzi, you have grown up. You should know what death means. Dad has passed away.

He is from a different world from us now. If we meet frequently, it will not be a good thing for us or Dad, understand?"

"But..." Hu Zi pursed his lips, he still missed his father.

"Huzi, Dad's affairs are our family's secret. You can't tell anyone, understand?"

There needs to be a reason for a character change to explain it to family members, but not to outsiders, so Li Xi does not intend to spread the news that her father is an official in the underworld.

Don't end up thinking of yourself as some god or ghost and burning yourself as a sacrifice to the heavens, otherwise she would be a laughing stock.

……

After Li Xi and the others finished talking that day, Ma Youliang's eldest son came to bring them eggs.

Just as Li Xi thought, the Ma Laoer family didn't want to give eggs at all, and wanted to drag it out until it came to nothing. But Ma Youliang, who had just made a big fool of himself, would let them continue to ruin the reputation of the old Ma family.

He asked his son to go to Ma Laoer's house to ask for eggs. He also specifically told his son to hand the eggs to the Li family in person to prevent Ma Laoer's family from doing anything disgusting again. The Li family courtyard was quiet for several days.

With the food and meat that Li Xi bought from the city, the Li family has been eating quite well recently, and Hu Zi's head doesn't seem to be that big anymore.

Although Li Xi did not go out these days, she was not idle. She was working on her own plan.
