It's terrible. Mr. Lu is too clingy.

Although there were a few elderly people she didn't want to see, there were also some neighbors who were not too close to her sitting inside.

Xie Xingran selectively greeted everyone, and walked through with a polite smile, neither humble nor arrogant.

Lu Ci also followed behind her, calling whoever she called, and looked very well-behaved at first glance.

If you ignore their pink hair.

"Young people nowadays have messy hair, what kind of look do they have?"

"The grandson of the Maoyang family next door, with that yellow hair, I thought he was extraordinary enough, but I didn't expect...ah."

Xie Xingran held Lu Ciye's hand and shook his head at him.

This kind of old man just likes to preach because he relies on his seniority.

If you argue with him seriously and embarrass him, he will probably get angry and even hit you.

Anyway, she didn't say hello to those two people just now, so just ignore it.

Lu Ci also snorted in dissatisfaction, cursing in his heart: "Old feudal, criticizing even dyeing hair. Is the Qing Dynasty's braid growing on his beard?"

Xie Xingran pursed his lips and held back his laughter.

But the next second she stopped laughing.

"What's that? Today is her mother's death anniversary, and I haven't seen her visit the grave. She was born in vain."

"Not only did she not go to the grave, she was also holding hands and laughing with the man in the village. She is truly heartless and ungrateful."

"Shouldn't you say she's a disaster star? Anyone who's around her is unlucky."

"Okay, just stop talking."

“You’re not wrong.”

This time Xie Xingran couldn't hold him back, and Lu Ci turned around and rushed over like a calf.

Such a tall man standing in front of those people who were saying bad things about him, his aura was frightening.

"Say it again." His brows were fierce and his voice was sharp and sharp.

"Why do you say my wife is a disaster? I think you are more like the disaster, with your mean faces, you look like cold-hearted people. And who said we don't go to the grave?

It's true that the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuchs are. There's still so much time left today, and you're so anxious, are you afraid you won't see the sun tomorrow? Also, we're husband and wife, so what's wrong with taking a walk together? Is this road yours? If so, I'll buy it!

I really didn't check the almanac before going out. It's bad luck to meet you gossipy women and men."

There were both men and women among them, and they were used to being arrogant in the village. All the young people who came back avoided them.

Now I have met a tough guy like Lu Ciye.

They probably didn't expect Lu Ci's insults to be so powerful.

Several people's faces flushed with embarrassment. One of them, a man in his sixties, stood up, pointed at Lu Ci and cursed back:

"You! You have no manners! You..."

Lu Ci also retorted calmly: "My upbringing is very good, but it seems that your upbringing needs to be rebuilt in the womb, otherwise you will be beaten by those with upbringing."

The other two aunts took a few deep breaths, calmed down, smiled and started to fight back:

"Hey, Xiaoye..."

Lu Ci also had a cold face: "I'm not familiar with you. If you call me like that, I will vomit out my breakfast."

The old lady's face twitched and she stopped smiling.

"We're not saying this, this is the truth. Didn't you fall yesterday? If this isn't her curse, then what is?"

The second aunt:

"Yes, yes, young man, don't be fooled by her. Look at those who get close to her. Who has a good ending? Either they die of illness or fall from a building. If you don't leave her, the next time it won't be as simple as breaking a leg. We are doing this for your own good."

"That's right. You're good-looking, you've started a company, and you have a good family background. Why marry someone so unlucky as her? You'll regret it if she brings your company down and your family to ruin."

No one interrupted them, and they talked more and more excitedly.

They sang the same tune, as if criticizing a sinner and wanting to nail Xie Xingran to the pillar of shame.

Xie Xingran's face was actually a little pale, and her lips were bloodless. She felt a pang in her heart and was a little angry.

No matter what happened in her family, it was not a reason for others to scold her, but she was not the type to argue with others.

This aspect still depends on Lu Ciye.

He kicked the basket of melon seeds in front of them and said, "Has that been enough? It's my turn now."

Everyone was so frightened that they fell silent.

"Auntie, I'm standing here perfectly still. How could you have seen me break my leg? If you have poor eyesight, just pretend to be blind, okay? Stop lying here with your eyes open.

You also know that I am good-looking and have a good family background. So why don’t I marry a young and beautiful woman like my wife who can make money and cares about me? Should I marry an old and ugly woman like you who is ugly and makes trouble for others?

Also, please don't curse me for the destruction of my family, okay? If that ever happens to me, I can only say that you are such a pessimist.

It's absolutely impossible that my wife is the one who brings me bad luck. She is beautiful, kind-hearted, smart and capable. Not only is she capable at work, she is also extremely good to me.

If my company goes bankrupt, my wife will stick with me and help me get back everything that belongs to me!"

"Ahem..." Xie Xingran tugged at his sleeve, signaling that it was enough.

"Don't talk about my wife, wait until I finish." Lu Ci also pushed away her hand that was trying to stop him and continued:

"Let me tell you, my wife is not a disaster, she is a blessing!

She is my lucky star, guardian angel and true love. I won't allow you to say a bad word about her.

Next time you hear this, I won’t just be eloquent, I’ll have plenty of ways to punish you.”

The wind blew through the treetops and the air froze for a while.

Xie Xingran's eyes were gentle. He walked forward, held his hand, looked up and smiled at him.

An old man smoking a pipe exhaled and said:

"Alright, Li Ermei, Yang Sanmei, and Li Dexin, the Qing Dynasty has been gone for many years. Don't get involved in those feudal superstitions. It's not that people who get close to Xiaoxing don't have a good ending, it's just that Xiaoxing's life is too hard."

Another old lady chimed in, "She's had a tough life, but she's still able to weather it. Look, Xiaoxing has a good job and a good husband now. Are you jealous? Why did you have to say those things to ruin their relationship?"

Lu Ci also smiled kindly at the old lady: "It can't be destroyed. I am loyal to my wife!"

Someone laughed and said, "He's a henpecked husband, haha."

Lu Ciye: "Yeah!"

Finally, the three men left with dark faces and angry expressions, and the other villagers also went home.

Lu Ci and Xie Xingran also walked back hand in hand. They had agreed before that they would go home to get incense and firecrackers to visit her mother's grave.

"Thank you, Lu Ciye, thank you for protecting me like this." Xie Xingran said gratefully.

She didn't have to say a word the whole time, he alone scolded all the rumors back to her.

With a husband like this, what else could a wife ask for?

Lu Ci was like a victorious rooster, holding his chin high and showing off:

"You and I are one, what's there to thank me for? But my mouth is dry from talking, so you have to get me two glasses of water when we get back."

Xie Xingran smiled and said, "Yes, yes, Young Master Lu, you've worked hard. Do you still need me to massage your shoulders and legs?"

Lu Ci also put his arm on her shoulders, looking like a nonchalant dandy.

"Wait until tonight. When I take off my clothes, you can do whatever you want with me. I'll let you do whatever you want with me."

"Get out, you bastard."

"Hahaha."
