The young couple from the farm fights back

Aunt Hu was curious: "But what happened?"

"That's right. Today I went to the village to buy some pig's trotters and overheard some young men in the village talking about what happened to our brother today."

When Uncle Zhou Er and his family heard this, they couldn't help but hold their breath and stared at Jiang Li in a daze, waiting for what would happen next.

Jiang Li pretended to be hesitant and pursed her lips, looking at the two children beside her and Ang'er in her arms with heartache.

Heng'er and Jing'er ate with relish, looking very satisfied, and didn't pay any attention to what the adults were saying.

"In fact, our Heng'er brothers were targeted by someone with ulterior motives."

"What?" Aunt Hu was shocked.

"Uncle, Aunt, Chunfeng and I have never had grudges against anyone. We have always been diligent and responsible. We never thought that the division of the family would cause so much trouble and even implicate the children—"

Zhou Chunfeng lowered his eyes and patted his wife's back symbolically.

I really want to say, well acted!

When Uncle Zhou heard this, he immediately put down his wine bowl and widened his eyes in anger: "The conscienceless Zhou family, was it them who did this? I'll take people to their house tomorrow to reason with them."

Jiang Li lowered his head and sniffed, his eyes red and his voice choked. "Second Uncle, this was done by Yue girl alone. I didn't believe it when I heard about it today. But you say, if it was just one or two boys saying it, it would be fine, but if several boys saw it, would the child lie?"

Dashuan gritted his teeth in anger and muttered, "Of course not. Why would a half-grown child tell such a lie? It must be that Yue was caught by those boys when she was doing it."

Zhao nodded and said in a low voice, "I just feel something is strange today. How could Yue, a little girl, have so many children at once?"

Zhao did have doubts at the time, but she didn't dare say it out loud, for fear that others would think she had ulterior motives.

Aunt Hu, always a shrewd woman, finally realized what was going on. She hadn't thought much about it today. Firstly, she was busy with the harvest, and secondly, the child had finally returned.

So, I didn’t think about it any deeper.

"How dare Yue girl? Why did she do this? Was she instigated by Lin?"

Jiang Li shook her head. "I don't think so. It's probably because Yue feels that the last incident involving the separation of the family has damaged the reputation of the Zhou family and herself, so..."

"I see!" Aunt Hu slapped her thigh and said, "I never thought that a little girl like a bean sprout could have such deep thoughts."

Jiang Li raised her hand to wipe away the tears from her eyes: "This is also my fault. If Chunfeng hadn't been seriously ill, I wouldn't have wanted to make a big deal about the division of the family. It's really that our eldest branch is at the end of its rope, so I just want to grit my teeth and try my best to give Chunfeng enough money for treatment."

Dashuan shook his head in disbelief: "What a vicious heart! The fourth girl is so cruel that she even schemed against her own nephew just for the sake of reputation."

Zhao Shi Shen added: "He even knocked me unconscious. I wonder if the drug is harmful to my body."

They are all mothers, and when Zhao looked at Heng'er and his brothers, she felt inexplicably distressed.

Heng Ge'er ate very slowly, taking small bites, and looked at the adults with his eyes wide open, as if he understood something.

Jing'er's cheeks were stuffed with food, and he would raise the wooden spoon in his hand from time to time to ask his parents to pick up some meat for him.

Ang'er still smiled with his eyebrows curved, occasionally revealing two small teeth, and the corners of his mouth were full of oil.

Zhou Chunfeng took a sip of wine, put down his bowl, sighed, and said, "This matter requires evidence. My wife and I want to spread this true rumor in the village. Whether it's a human or a ghost will reveal its true identity. How can she admit it if we go straight to her house?"

Jiang Li nodded: "Besides, my stepmother-in-law Lin will definitely accuse us of slandering Yue girl's kindness. If we don't get what we deserve, we won't be able to explain ourselves even if we are right."

Aunt Hu understood and immediately nodded, looking at Dashuan. "Just do as your eldest brother and sister-in-law said. Let's spread the news tomorrow. I want to see how long that damn girl can hide. What a heartless girl, such a vile and despicable person. The Lin family used to brag in the village that their own girls were so polite and sensible. Pah, both mother and daughter are the same kind of vile people."

"Okay, mother."

Aunt Hu turned around and comforted Jiang Li: "Heal quickly, don't hurt yourself. My brother is fine now. If you have nothing to do in the future, just stay at home with the child. Tomorrow, after we finish harvesting the grain, we will come to your farm to help."

"Thank you, aunt."

Uncle Zhou raised his wine bowl and said, "Well, we're all family, so let's not talk about different things. Chunfeng, come and have a drink with me."

"Okay, second uncle." Zhou Chunfeng politely picked up the bowl with both hands and clinked it with his elder.

Jiang Li achieved his goal and was in a good mood. He added food to Aunt Hu's bowl from time to time, which made Aunt Hu feel very comfortable.

When Jiang Li initially decided to establish good relations with Aunt Hu and Uncle Zhou Er, she valued another layer of the relationship. Uncle Zhou Er's family and the clan leader's family were cousins, and according to seniority, the clan leader had to respect Uncle Zhou Er. To gain a foothold in the village and the clan, having a strong backer was crucial.

At night, Jiang Li coaxed Ang'er to sleep and went to the next room to check on the two older children. Seeing that the children were sleeping soundly, she finally felt at ease.

Zhou Chunfeng washed the dishes in the yard and put them in the cabinet in the kitchen. When he returned to the house and saw a figure sitting by the kang, he walked slowly towards him.

"Still thinking about today's events?"

Jiang Li glanced at him unhappily: "How can I not think about it? She was supposed to be a saintly lady, but now she's become scheming. Who knows what she'll do next."

Zhou Chunfeng put down the cloth he was using to wipe his face, and sneered, "If you can hide, hide. If you can't, tear it down. Like you said, if you're here, make the best of it."

"You are quite patient." Jiang Li couldn't help but tease.

Zhou Chunfeng really wanted to roll his eyes. What else could he do?

As she said, now besides being able to work in the fields and build a house, he also needs to exercise his body. He can't be like before.

"You'll be responsible for taking care of several children in the future. I'm afraid we won't be able to raise them well with the two of us here."

“It will heal naturally!”

"Go back to your room next door. I need to sleep."

Jiang Li was driven away and was a little dazed for a moment. She gave him a displeased look.

"Be good when you sleep, don't crush the child." When there was only a kang bed in the wooden shed, no one knew how this man slept. Every morning when he woke up, he would move to her feet. Fortunately, he didn't crush the child.

Zhou Chunfeng just lay down and patted the empty space next to him wordlessly: "Why don't you lie down and supervise."

Jiang Li felt like she was being teased, and her ears couldn't help but feel hot. She spat at him in frustration: "Bah, you shameless bastard."

After saying that, he turned around quickly and went out. If he hadn't considered the two children sleeping in the room, he would have closed the door very loudly.

The man lying comfortably on the bed listened to the muffled footsteps outside the corridor, with a playful smile on his face.
