The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

Liu Lan looked at her mysteriously and whispered, "Sister Qian, I heard some things in the village today. They sounded very detailed and convincing, so I think it's probably true. I thought you'd be happy to hear it, so I came here to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xi immediately became interested. She used to love gossip.

But in my own world, all I do all day is research. There's really no place to listen to gossip.

"Sister-in-law, what is it? Tell me quickly!"

Qiao Xi looked at Liu Lan with shining eyes, not hiding her gossipy heart at all.

Seeing her so happy, Liu Lan also laughed and said, "I heard from them that Zhang Quan from Shijing Village was beaten with twenty boards again yesterday. He was beaten so severely that he couldn't even go home. His mother had someone bring him back from Lingxiao City.

What's even more ridiculous is that it was such a big deal, and it would have been fine if his father didn't know about it, but guess where his father was called back home?"

Uh--

Qiao Xi, who was just enjoying the show, was stunned: She ended up eating the show herself!

For a moment, Qiao Xi didn't know whether to laugh or not.

But seeing that Sister Liu Lan was talking with great enthusiasm, she didn't want to spoil the fun, so she cooperated and said, "Where?"

"Brothel." Liu Lan said these two words with disdain, "You don't know, when Zhang Quan's mother, Li Jianghua, found out, she made a scene at home and even started fighting with her husband.

His son, Zhang Quanben, was lying on the bed recovering from his injuries. He reached out to pull them apart, but his parents pulled him off the bed instead. Coincidentally, he fell right back to where he had been beaten. It was said that his howling could be heard throughout Shijing Village.

"Oh, their house is really lively!"

Josie agreed with a smile.

Liu Lan nodded, "Of course. Now, not only does the entire Shijing Village know about it, but even in our village, it's spread everywhere."

After this incident, I think it will be difficult for Zhang Quan to get married. Unless her mother gives a lot of betrothal gifts, no family will be willing to send their daughter into this fire pit.

If you ask me, Zhang Quan's current situation is pure retribution. It's his fault that he doesn't do his job all day and instead thinks about harming others.

This is God’s punishment for him.”

Qiao Xi nodded in agreement with Liu Lan's previous words, but when she heard Liu Lan attribute all this to "God", she was a little hesitant.

Liu Lan was talking excitedly. She didn't care whether Qiao Xi responded to her words or not. She continued, "Strangely enough, there is also a strange thing in our village."

Hearing her mention Xuliu Village, Qiao Xi couldn't help but be curious and thought to herself: What else is so strange? Is it strange that two thousand soldiers suddenly came two days ago?

So she casually asked, "What's strange?"

Liu Lan glanced at Xu Yi's room, hesitated, then looked at Qiao Xi and continued, "It's Liu Lichun from our village.

You know, according to the customs of Lingxiao City, girls usually ask someone to find a husband for them after they reach the age of 15, or wait for someone to come and propose marriage.

But Liu Lichun was still a while away from coming of age, and his father had already asked someone to find him a husband. He was a bit too hasty. It seemed like his parents loved him very much before, so what had happened now?

Also, I heard that Lichun girl was grounded by her father. You say, Zhang Quan's family had such a thing, and Lichun girl's family also had something wrong, isn't it a bit too coincidental?"

Seeing Liu Lan frowning and lost in her own thoughts, Qiao Xi couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Sister Liu Lan's guess was so accurate.

But she promised to keep it a secret for Liu Lichun, so she could only smile and pretend to know nothing as a response to Liu Lan.

Just when Qiao Xi didn't know what to say, Sister Liu Lan's husband, Brother Xu Jun, walked out of Xu Yi's room.

Although his surname is also Xu, he is not from the same family as Xu Yi. Because he is older than Xu Yi and Qiao Xi, they have always called him Big Brother or Big Brother Xu.

Then Josie saw him walking towards them.

Qiao Xi naturally expressed her deep gratitude with a smile as the other person had helped her a lot.

Seeing that she was so polite, Xu Jun quickly waved his hand to indicate that she didn't need to be so polite. They were all neighbors and should always help each other.

After saying that, Xu Jun asked Liu Lan if she wanted to go home. Liu Lan wanted to nod, but suddenly remembered something and looked at Qiao Xi and asked, "Sister Xi, you said before that you wanted to open a piece of land at the foot of the mountain. Now you have to take care of Xu Yi. Do you have time to open it?"

The family needs someone at home right now, so naturally there is no time to open it. Qiao Xi looked at her and shook her head helplessly.

Liu Lan pursed her lips, looked at her husband again, and slowly said, "In fact, even if you cultivate the land and plant vegetable seeds, it will take some time for them to grow.

My family has more than enough food to eat, and we even have some left over. Why don't I give you some every day, sister-in-law, so that you can take good care of Xu Yi.

Alas, I don’t know when Brother Xu Yi will wake up. I hope it won’t be too long, otherwise it will be too hard for you, Sister Qian.

That's perfect, Qiao Xi said with another burst of gratitude.

Because Sister Liu Lan said they still had things to do, they didn't stay for long.

Hearing this, Qiao Xi didn't keep them and politely sent them to the door.

Then she went into the kitchen, made some simple food to fill her stomach, and then went into Xu Yi's room to continue looking after him.

About a quarter of an hour later, Qiao Xi faintly heard the sound of horse hooves outside.

In the past two days, any sound of carriages and horses was related to the official and military doctor in Baidi City.

Thinking of this, Qiao Xi stood up and looked out the window.

When she saw off Sister Liu Lan and Brother Xu Jun just now, she thought they might come, so she didn't close the door completely.

Then she saw the courtyard door being pushed open from the outside. The first person who came into view was Kuzhu, followed by Shen Qingyan, Xiao Yushan, and finally Shen Liuguang.

However, Qiao Xi also saw several soldiers in armor behind Shen Liuguang.

I couldn't help but be surprised.

You know, both times Shen Qingyan only brought Kuzhu, Shen Liuguang, and Xiao Yushan with him, and no one else. What happened today?

While she was stunned, several people had already entered Xu Yi's room.

Xiao Yushan sat down by the bed as usual to take Xu Yi's pulse.

Shen Qingyan looked at Qiao Xi and asked about Xu Yi's situation last night.

When he heard Qiao Xi say that there was nothing unusual, his slightly frown relaxed.

Thinking of the busy time he had yesterday when he returned to the government office, Shen Qingyan said calmly, "Zhang Quan and Liu Lichun have both received the punishment they deserve. After this lesson, they shouldn't dare to bother you again."

Qiao Xi nodded and thanked him, saying that she had heard about it.

Even though he was just doing his job, Josie was still grateful.

"Alright, alright, stop chatting."

Suddenly, Xiao Yushan interrupted their conversation, looked at Qiao Xi with a strange expression, and said, "My dear disciple, you just said that nothing happened last night?"

Hearing him ask this, Qiao Xi frowned. Although she was a little confused, she still nodded at Xiao Yushan.

"what happened?"

Shen Qingyan noticed something was wrong with his friend and asked him hurriedly.
