Su Jiaojiao really wanted to strangle Su Li right now; she was deliberately playing tricks on her.

"Auntie, my period just ended, it's impossible for me to be pregnant. Don't listen to my sister's nonsense. She just had a crush on Xie Feng before, that's why she said that on purpose. She knows I want a child, but she still pretends I'm pregnant. If I were really pregnant, I'd be overjoyed."

Upon hearing this, the elderly women immediately sensed that this was a gossip story.

He hurriedly asked Su Li, "Su Zhiqing, did you really have a crush on Xie Zhiqing before?"

Su Li wasn't angry. Instead, she smiled and said, "Auntie, do you believe me? What do you think of my boyfriend, Gu Huanian? I don't need to say more, do I? If you were me, who would you choose between my boyfriend and Xie Feng?"

"Of course it's Battalion Commander Gu," the old lady said without hesitation.

Every time Battalion Commander Gu came, he not only helped Su Li with chores, but also bought her many things every time he went to town. Everyone noticed; with such a boyfriend, which young woman or married woman in the village wouldn't envy Su Li?

Then look at Xie Feng. They've never seen him help Su Jiaojiao even once. He's completely useless, all show and no substance. Besides, since their marriage, he hasn't even gone to town to buy Su Jiaojiao anything. If you asked her, she'd choose Battalion Commander Gu even with her eyes closed!

Su Li smiled and spread her hands, saying, "You see, you know who to choose, and besides, do I look like a fool?"

"That's true. Su Zhiqing is very lucky to have found such a good partner as Battalion Commander Gu."

Su Li looked at Su Jiaojiao with a bright smile and said, "Look, everyone understands this, do I need to say more? I don't care for your man, and I don't even look at him. Keep him for yourself for the New Year! Don't overthink things. Nobody wants to take him from you."

"Su Li!" Su Jiaojiao was furious; she really had a sharp tongue these days.

Once she's dealt with this child, she'll definitely find time to teach her a lesson, and she'll find a way to get her hands on Su Li's spatial storage.

Even if she couldn't get it, she wouldn't let that bitch be so smug. Even if someone else got it, she would make sure that person suffered.

Su Li picked at her ear and said calmly, "Why are you shouting so loudly? Why are you so angry? Didn't you bring it up first? Saying that I've taken a fancy to your man? You're so good at praising your man! Well, you'd better keep a close eye on him."

Su Jiaojiao felt a surge of anger rising within her, and her gaze towards Su Li became even more vicious.

She felt that Su Li had deliberately appeared around her these past two days to provoke her.

I don't know what's wrong with this woman.

Once they arrived in town, Su Jiaojiao didn't want to stay on the oxcart for even a second longer.

He fled in panic, facing the gazes of the crowd.

Su Li also got off the oxcart and quietly followed behind Su Jiaojiao.

When she reached the path, Su Li saw that no one was around, so she went into her spatial dimension and followed her.

When Su Li arrived at the Li family's house, she knocked on the door, and to her surprise, it was Li Qin who opened it.

Shouldn't she be at work today?

When Li Qin saw her, her heart skipped a beat. Could what was written on that piece of paper really be true?

Su Jiaojiao would never have come to her house twice in a row in the past; "Come in!"

"Auntie, I'm here to see Xiaofang. Is she home?"

Li Fang came out when she heard Su Jiaojiao's voice. "I'm here! Sister Jiaojiao, you were looking for me?"

Su Jiaojiao nodded; "Yes, a friend of mine invited me to her house, and I was wondering if you could come with me?"

"Great! I've got nothing to do at home anyway, should we call Xiaoliang over?" Li Ting said.

"No need, we girls go out together, it wouldn't be good to invite him along."

"Okay, I'll go into my room and tidy up. We'll leave in a bit."

Li Qin didn't say anything, but her eyes kept glancing at Su Jiaojiao, wondering what she was up to.

The paper said to keep up with Su Jiaojiao.

She's going to see what this woman is up to today. If it's something that will ruin her family, she'll definitely not let her get away with it.

Li Fang came out quickly, and Li Qin helped her straighten her collar; "Don't wander around when you go out, and be careful if anything happens."

Li Fang smiled and said, "Mom, I'm going out with Sister Jiaojiao. Don't worry, I'll be back this afternoon."

Li Fang glanced at Su Jiaojiao and saw that there was no particular expression on her face.

She smiled and said, "Okay, Mom will be waiting for you at home."

No sooner had Su Jiaojiao left than Li Qin called her son and followed her.

Li Liang was a little confused about what his mother was up to; "Mom, if you want to go, just tell Jiaojiao and she'll let you go! What's the point of us sticking around here?"

Li Qin patted her son; "What do you know? Just follow me, stop talking nonsense."

If her man hadn't been so biased towards Su Jiaojiao, she would have been thinking of having him come along today.

But in the end she didn't do that, worried that her husband would side with Su Jiaojiao.

Soon the two followed her to a place not far from her home, where Su Jiaojiao was talking to a woman.

The woman looked Li Fang up and down, grinning from ear to ear; "This girl is really beautiful, who is she to you?"

Su Jiaojiao held Li Fang's hand and said, "This is my sister, isn't she pretty?" She even winked at the woman as she spoke.

The woman nodded in satisfaction.

The three continued walking for an hour, and the place became increasingly remote.

Li Fang was a little tired. She looked at the woman and said, "Do you live so far away?"

Su Jiaojiao's legs were aching from walking, but in order to achieve her goal, she still comforted herself, saying, "We're almost there."

"Yes! We'll be at my house soon. I'll treat you to brown sugar water then."
