Transmigrated Leftover Woman in Rural Style

Li Xiaonuan kowtowed three times to the old lady and said, "Grandma, let's not mention this matter again. I just hope that none of you know anything and that you can live peacefully. As for what I said before..."

Li Xiaonuan slumped to her knees, saying weakly, "I already have a way to get you out of that mess. Don't worry, even if it means dealing with a tiger or making a deal with the devil, I will protect you."

"I just hope that before this matter is over, none of you will cause any more trouble or try to pin anything on me. Also, I hope that after all this, you can all live in harmony and become a truly warm and united family."

Father Li asked in a trembling voice, "Xiao Nuan, is this matter related to Doctor Jing? Also, it was Young Master Wei who helped find Doctor Jing. So, you've offended these two people?"

The old lady stopped Li's father from questioning her: "Eldest son, let's listen to Xiaonuan. Things aren't as simple as you think. That's why she won't tell you anything, and it's for your safety. It's precisely because things are complicated and unpredictable that, although we are facing a life-or-death situation, it could also be a kind of honor. It's just that the timing isn't right. Let's just listen to Xiaonuan and live our lives peacefully."

With tears welling up in his eyes, Father Li said, "Mother, Xiao Nuan took the wrong turn because of me. I can't be completely unaware of everything. What exactly are you hiding from everyone?"

Tang choked up as she said, "Yes, if it weren't for Xiaonuan, her father would be gone too. Xiaonuan caused this mess, and her father must also bear some responsibility. We can't just live happily without knowing anything."

Fourth Uncle stood up, looked at the old lady, and asked, "Mother, is there any secret in our family that's related to the trouble Xiaonuan is facing?"

Looking at her family members who seemed eager to know the secret, the old woman suddenly said impatiently, "I told you to shut up and not ask, so don't ask. If you're really tired of living, I don't mind if we all die tonight, so we won't be killed."

Everyone was stunned by the old lady's sudden outburst. It was then that they truly believed what Li Xiaonuan had said was indeed dangerous. However, she claimed she had a way to protect everyone, and the old lady also said that it could be a source of honor. Therefore, everyone abandoned their desire to investigate further.

After all, the more you know, the more dangerous it becomes. This isn't because I'm afraid of death and don't want to pursue it, but because this matter poses the greatest threat to Li Xiaonuan. The more people who know, the harder it will be for Li Xiaonuan to protect herself.

Actually, few people in the Li family are stupid. After the old lady's reprimand, most of them understood a little. Only Tang and the others were still confused. However, they all had one good point: they listened to their elders in everything, and that was enough.

Seeing that everyone was silent, the old lady asked Xiaoyang to help Li Xiaonuan up. After watching Li Xiaonuan sit down, the old lady concluded the family meeting for the evening:

"Alright, things have been clarified, everyone can go home now. Don't worry about Xiao Nuan's matter, just do as she says. Remember, don't cause her any trouble, understand?"

The arrangements for everyone's bedtime had already been made during dinner. Therefore, after the old lady finished speaking, everyone left. Father Li helped the old lady back to her room, and Madam Su followed her in with a bucket of warm water.

Li Xiaonuan stood at the doorway, watching the setting moon being instantly obscured by dark clouds. A light drizzle began to fall, making the sweltering summer night much cooler. She murmured to herself, gazing at the moon:

"See, I really solved the problem, are you relieved now? Don't worry, I'll do everything in my power to protect them and make sure they can all live together in harmony. Also, live well in my world, it's actually a very good place. May you have good luck in your next life!"

As she spoke, she waved in that direction. As her hand fell, a bolt of lightning struck the sky, and a deafening clap of thunder shattered the summer night's silence. A heavy rain began to fall, bringing with it the earthy smell of rain.

Li Xiaonuan returned to her room with a smile on her face. That night, she dreamed that her younger brother from her previous life had a daughter, and her mother was overjoyed.

The next morning, the old lady announced that she would be staying at Li Xiaonuan's house from now on, and asked Li to leave Xiaojun there as well. When the fourth uncle's family was leaving, the old lady instructed: "Fourth son, you need to deal with that woman outside. I don't like her."

Fourth Uncle was indeed in the wrong in this matter, so he agreed. As Li Shi was leaving, she looked at Xiao Jun with eyes full of reluctance. Xiao Yan remained indifferent, her eyes showing neither joy nor sorrow. Although none of the younger generation, except for Li Xiaonuan and Xiao Yang, were involved in last night's events, Li Xiaonuan believed that Xiao Yan had overheard the conversation.

Watching the two families leave, Li Xiaonuan felt a sense of relief and exhilaration. The troublesome relatives were dealt with; now only Prince Jing remained. Although she didn't yet know how to handle Prince Jing, Li Xiaonuan was confident she could get through it.

With nothing else to do, Li Xiaonuan decided to check on the bean field. After all, she was still very curious about the two rabbits from last night. Xiao Gang excitedly ran off ahead, while Xiao Yang, with Xiao Jun perched on his shoulder, talked to Li Xiaonuan as they walked into the field.

It rained heavily last night, and the roads were still a bit damp. But the summer sun was strong, so the roads weren't muddy. Xiao Yang pointed to the rice paddies and said happily, "Sister, look how well our rice seedlings are growing. They look like they'll be flowering soon."

Looking at the vast expanse of green waves, Li Xiaonuan couldn't help but feel overjoyed. She took a deep breath and said, "After the rice is harvested and the seedlings are planted, we'll build a new house."

Xiao Jun excitedly grabbed Xiao Yang's hair from his neck and said, "Hey, let's build a new house, Xiao Jun wants to live in a new house."

Xiao Yang endured the pain and slapped Xiao Jun's butt twice, scolding, "Kid, be gentle, or you'll pull all my hair out."

Li Xiaonuan chuckled.

Zhao Wangchuan stood under a laurel tree, watching the figure with the cane walk away into the distance, his fists clenched. Finally, he sighed helplessly and took Zhao Lin back to the Zhao family home.

In the backyard veranda, Aunt Lin was telling Wei Lu about what had happened to the Li family in the past few days. She expressed deep sorrow over Li Xiaonuan's ordeal. Listening to her, Wei Lu became even more determined to keep Zhao Wangchuan away from Li Xiaonuan.

Zhao Wangchuan returned to his room and lazily lay down on the couch by the window, muttering to himself, "Master should be here tonight. It's time to lay everything bare. Otherwise, I can't do anything, and I'm about to suffocate from all this frustration."

When they finally arrived at the bean field, Li Xiaonuan saw Xiao Gang carrying a rabbit and pestering a tall, thin young man. The man was trying to get rid of Xiao Gang, but to no avail.

Xiao Yang ran over with Xiao Jun on his head, and Xiao Jun's cheerful laughter echoed across the open field. As soon as the laughter started, the tall, thin man turned around. Li Xiaonuan stared at the man's face, stunned.
