Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

He Lianlian was dragged in front of everyone. She chuckled awkwardly for a moment before finally speaking, "That's what I heard," she said, then looked at Wen Tang sitting there, "It was my niece-in-law who said it!"

She started repeating herself again, "Niece-in-law, didn't you say back then that old men in the city are good because they're rich and have few problems?"

Wen Tang nodded. "Yes, that's right."

"But I knew nothing about my aunt dating an old man in the city. Don't tell me I told you!"

Wen Tang: Interpersonal skills, being enthusiastic and polite while feigning ignorance.

Xu Ancheng couldn't help but ask, "Second Aunt, what does it have to do with my mother wanting to find an old man from the city?"

"Then why bring up old men from the city?" He Lianlian wasn't guilty at all; she felt she hadn't guessed wrong.

If it's something that didn't happen, how did the topic suddenly shift to old men in the city?

Wen Tang was amused by her self-righteous words, "Auntie, what you're saying doesn't make sense. According to you, if I mention you and then say that I saw so-and-so, does that mean you two have a relationship?"

He Lianlian immediately objected, "Stop talking nonsense! Are you trying to smear me? I'm over 30 years old, do you think you can make things up for me?" As she spoke, she even used her intangible cultural heritage skills to jump up.

Wen Tang and Chi Yue exchanged a glance, and then they saw excitement in each other's eyes.

Wow, this is quite a challenge.

Chi Yue leaned close to Wen Tang's ear and whispered, "Let you play with abstract concepts."

Wen Tang cracked his knuckles. "I examine myself three times a day. Was I too polite to her? Did I give her too much face? Should I have taken action?"

Chi Yue raised her hand, "Please begin your performance."

Then the two of them got up together, with Chi Yue holding a small stool in each hand, and quickly retreated to a safe area.

When Gu Yanli saw Wen Tang get up, he strode over to her.

But he was still one step late.

He Lianlian's jump made only one sentence pop into Wen Tang's mind: "Use your superior skills to subdue your aunt."

She's not some delicate, shy new bride; her true identity is a 21st-century college student (the kind who begs for food on trains and fights for territory with square-dancing grandmas). And her character is unknown, but she becomes stronger when faced with a stronger opponent.

So Wen Tang plopped down on the ground, slapped her thighs, and started wailing, "Oh dear, this is outrageous!"

"This is bullying!"

"Waaah," Wen Tang only managed two whimpers before covering her face with her hands and wailing, after all, she still had some sense of shame.

Covering her face, she continued to wail, "They're bullying me because I'm an outsider! They're bullying me because I arrived late and haven't established myself yet!"

"Tell me everything white as black!"

"She spread rumors herself and now she wants me to take the blame? Waaah, she's bullying me to death."

Gu Yanli truly hadn't expected Wen Tang to make such a fuss.

Even though Gu Yanli was quite quick-witted, he was stunned at this moment.

Not only him, but everyone around him was stunned.

A row of dumbfounded heads were perched on the courtyard wall.

Chi Yue, on the other hand, accepted it well. She put down the stool and went to help the person up. "Auntie... Auntie," she called out, and she almost burst out laughing.

Fortunately, she bit her lower lip in time and managed to hold it in.

While pulling and shouting, Chi Yue asked everyone to judge, "You all be the judge, isn't this bullying?"

“Around noon, we went with Grandma to dig wild scallions. We thought that my great-aunt was at our house, so we dug some wild scallions to make scallion and egg pancakes for her. We ran into her on the way,” she pointed to He Lianlian. “She came and asked my great-aunt why she didn’t go home. She implied that my great-aunt was unlucky and that marrying into the Xu family was her good fortune.”

"My aunt couldn't help but say a few words back to her, and then... who knew she would spread rumors about her everywhere?"

Gu Yanli walked over to Wen Tang and lifted her up from the ground.

Wen Tang "..."

She looked at Gu Yanli: I haven't even finished my performance yet!

Gu Yanli told her, "The ground is cold!"

At this moment, Zhong Meixian also came to her senses. Gu Jinfeng and the others had also arrived home. Gu Jinfeng had already pulled Xu Ancheng's wife, Zhang Fen, aside to get a general understanding of what had happened.

Then the mother and daughter rushed towards He Lianlian in the middle, one after the other. "Xu Lao Er's daughter, don't think you can cause trouble at my house just because you're related to Xu Huaishan," Zhong Meixian said, her finger almost poking He Lianlian's face.

Gu Jinfeng followed up loudly, "I'll call you 'Auntie' for my aunt's sake, but don't really think you're someone important."

"You want to bully my brother and sister-in-law? Let me tell you, you won't get away with it."

He Lianlian "..."

She looked at Zhong Meixian, then at Gu Jinfeng, and finally at Wen Tang, who had just been pulled up from the ground…

He Lianlian: She spent her whole life hunting eagles, but in the end, she was pecked in the eye by an eagle.

It was clearly the new daughter-in-law of the Gu family who was talking nonsense, but in the end, it was all attributed to her talking nonsense.

She wanted to argue, "She's clearly the Gu family's daughter-in-law..."

Wen Tang immediately retorted, "You're already covered in shit, why are you still stirring it up?"

He Lianlian "..."

She looked around and saw that everyone was staring at her. He Lianlian stomped her foot and turned to flee the Gu family in a disheveled state.

Seeing this, Xu Huaishan and the others understood perfectly well that He Lianlian had simply spread rumors!

Xu Ansheng was the first to lose his temper, "Why does Second Aunt talk such nonsense?"

Holding her child, Zhang Fen couldn't help but say, "That second aunt is really something, talking nonsense like that, she scared me half to death."

Other onlookers also began to criticize He Lianlian, saying, "How can you say such nonsense?"

"That means Ancheng's mother is in her fifties or sixties, and if she said something like that, anyone with a temper would have smashed her pot."

Everyone was talking at once, but Gu Yanli stood behind Wen Tang, gently patting the mud and dust off her as she sat on the ground.

He patted her repeatedly, and Wen Tang said, "No need, no need to pat me, I'll change in a bit."

Gu Yanli didn't say anything, but patted the table twice more.

Wen Tang didn't hear anyone speak, so she couldn't help but turn her head and ask, "Did I scare you just now?" As she said this, she wanted to explain a few words. Although she was sometimes rude, she was mostly polite.

Little did anyone know that Gu Yanli had a good ability to accept advice. Not only did he have a good ability to accept advice, but he also gave advice: "Actually, you can slap your leg and throw a tantrum while sitting on a stool."

Wen Tang "..."

She silently gave him a thumbs up: You're truly the only brother out there!

Gu Yanli also silently straightened his clothes: There are three kinds of fate in this world: life, death, and my irresistible charm.

Wen Tang was oblivious to his inner thoughts, and only asked softly, "Do you think I'm embarrassing?"

Wen Tang thought that since she had asked such a question, Gu Yanli should at least say a few words of comfort to her.

Gu Yanli replied, "It's okay, I'm thick-skinned, I can throw it anywhere."

Wen Tang "..."
