He Tiantian was very curious.

Qi Daniu finally ran up to He Tiantian and whispered, "Sister Tiantian, something terrible has happened."

"Did Qi Fenfen come back and cause trouble?" He Tiantian asked back. If Qi Fenfen also liked Li Mingkai, she would definitely not be willing to let her sister marry Li Mingkai!

“It’s not Qi Fenfen, it’s Qi Fangfang, Qi Jianguo’s sister,” Qi Daniu said. “Qi Fangfang said she’s pregnant with Li Mingkai’s child.”

This time, it was He Tiantian's turn to be dumbfounded.

"Oh my god, how could this happen?" He Tiantian exclaimed in surprise. This matter had taken so many twists and turns!

"Yes, Qi Fangfang said she's pregnant with Li Mingkai's child and she's sitting at Qi Shuli's house and won't leave," Qi Daniu said. "Now everyone in the village is watching, wanting to know who Li Mingkai is with."

"Qi Fangfang said she's pregnant. Can you tell she's pregnant?" He Tiantian asked.

“She’s wearing so many thick clothes in winter, and Qi Fangfang is naturally quite big, so you can’t tell,” Qi Daniu said. “It’s just that we country folk value our reputation very much. If we say it so shamelessly, everyone will believe it’s true.”

"And then?" He Tiantian continued, "How was the matter handled?"

“Li Mingkai pointed to the sky and cursed, saying he hadn’t violated Qi Fangfang, but Accountant Qi was still furious. When I arrived, Accountant Qi was cursing loudly, and she’s already sent someone to invite Wang Shuilian from Wangjia Village to see if Qi Fangfang is pregnant or not,” Qi Daniu said. “Alright, I’ll go back and check again, and I’ll tell you later.”

After watching Qi Danu leave, He Tiantian finished her last task, went to say a few words to Old Man Qi, Professor Wang, and others, and then leisurely went home.

When they arrived home, He Jingyu was cooking with his wife!

"Dad, what's going on over there?" He Tiantian asked, wondering when Qi Daniu, that little gossip, would bring her the next wave of news.

He Jingyu said, "It's just a dog-eat-dog situation, all over the place. Young lady, don't ask so many questions, it will affect your temperament."

"Fine, don't tell me then." He Tiantian pouted. Her parents wanted to raise her to be a kind and understanding lady, but she knew that wasn't what she was looking for.

In this life, all she needs to do is be true to herself and her family.

As for others, she would repay them threefold for every kindness they showed her.

If someone treats her badly, she will retaliate in kind.

A little while later, Qi Danu arrived again.

He Tiantian led Qi Daniu directly into the house.

"How's it going? What happened next? What happened next!" He Tiantian urged, eager to know what was to come.

“Wang Shuilian is Qi Fangfang’s aunt. After taking Qi Fangfang’s pulse, she said that Qi Fangfang was not pregnant,” Qi Daniu said. “Then she scolded Qi Fangfang and took her away.”

He Tiantian was taken aback, frowned, and muttered to herself, "If Qi Fangfang isn't pregnant, why would she ruin her reputation by saying she is? After all, it's a joyous occasion for her second uncle's family. Isn't she crazy to do this?"

"Yes, the villagers can't understand it," Qi Daniu said. "And when I saw Qi Fangfang, she wasn't angry at all, and she didn't seem crazy at all!"

"That's strange," He Tiantian said. "There's definitely a reason for this, but we just don't know it yet."

“Yes, everyone’s talking about it now,” Qi Daniu said. “Accountant Qi’s family has been disgraced.”

"Are you still getting married?" He Tiantian asked. Accountant Qi spent so much money, food, meat, and prepared the banquet, and now it's all ruined?

"Yes, we've already gotten our marriage certificate," Qi Daniu said. "People in the countryside forget things easily. After a while, once everyone laughs at it, they won't mention it anymore."

"That's true." He Tiantian nodded. "Keep an eye on what's going on. By the way, you should also be careful."

"I know, Sister Tian, ​​I'm staying in the village, I'm not going anywhere," Qi Daniu said. It's the New Year, and there are many people coming and going in the village, so it's very safe.

After Qi Daniu left, He Tiantian told her family what she knew.

"Alright, this is Accountant Qi's business. You shouldn't get involved. After all, our two families have a history. If we show too much interest, people will suspect that we're spreading rumors and kicking someone when they're down," He Jingyu reminded his daughter, not letting her talk nonsense.

"I'm not making this up," He Tiantian said. "Besides, I didn't order those things to be done. They're doing dirty things behind the scenes, does that mean we can't talk about it?"

"Little girl, you've learned to talk back!" He Jingyu smiled helplessly; his daughter had become sharp-tongued and difficult to manage.

Grandma Qi seemed thoughtful, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Jingyu, you can't say that. Qi Shuli's two daughters were suddenly switched, and Qi Fangfang disrupted the wedding. Even if it were an outsider who did this, there would have to be a very good reason, let alone Qi Fangfang being Qi Shuli's own niece. Qi Shuli must have done something behind the scenes that Qi Fangfang found out about, which is why she wants revenge."

“Yes, yes.” He Tiantian nodded repeatedly, agreeing with what Grandma Qi said. She added, “If it were any other family in the village, I wouldn’t say anything, but I have to pay more attention to Qi Jianguo and Qi Shuli’s family. After all, they did such a thing before, and I have to be wary of them.”

Seeing that his godmother had said this, He Jingyu couldn't refute it and said, "Alright, I'll ask Secretary Qi privately later, he might know."

"Yes, we must find out what happened," Grandma Qi instructed her, as she also wanted to know.

Having received instructions from Grandma Qi, He Jingyu thought that rather than letting his daughter gossip like a busybody, he might as well gossip himself!

Secretary Qi was also unsure; the village was abuzz with discussion, but no one had a definitive answer.

It wasn't until Secretary Qi went to a meeting at the commune on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month that he heard some news from County Chief Niu and instantly understood what was going on.

"You mean Secretary Zhang's mentally challenged son has taken a liking to Qi Fenfen?" Secretary Qi asked incredulously. He had seen Secretary Zhang's mentally challenged son by chance, and he drooled whenever he spoke.

Calling him an idiot wouldn't be accurate; his mental capacity is only around that of a ten-year-old, so he could be considered mentally retarded.

"Yes, I heard that the silly son keeps clamoring to see Fenfen. I had someone check it out. I estimate the wedding will take place after the first month of the lunar calendar," said County Chief Niu. He and Secretary Zhang didn't get along, so he paid close attention to Secretary Zhang's family affairs.

"Now I understand why Li Mingkai, who was dating Qi Fenfen before, switched to Qi Zhenzhen, the eldest sister, for his wedding. During the wedding ceremony, Qi Shuli's niece, Qi Jianguo's sister Qi Fangfang, caused a scene claiming she was pregnant with Li Mingkai's child. But when a doctor was called in, it turned out she wasn't pregnant," Secretary Qi said. "Qi Shuli's house was quite lively on the eighth day of the first lunar month." (To be continued.)
