Seeing that she had aroused everyone's interest on her own, Li Cuihua deliberately coughed a few times to clear her throat.

"Yeah, cough cough cough."

Then she tugged at her clothes and stamped her feet. When everyone got tired of waiting, she started saying, "Old Lady Li sold Li An's daughter. Now that her daughter is here, of course she has to divide the family property! If she doesn't, she's just waiting for her daughter to be sold again."

"Yue was sold by Old Lady Li. I was wondering why Wanniang has been looking for her daughter these past two days. The villagers also helped to look for her. We searched all the nearby villages but couldn't find her." said Aunt Wang, a neighbor.

Another villager said, "I thought Li An's daughter couldn't stand the hard life in the village and went to Beijing to see her adoptive mother. After all, she was a rich girl since she was a child, living a life of wealth that we can't even imagine."

"How is that possible? She's been with a beggar before. Rich families value reputation the most. Without Qingqi, if she goes to the countryside, she'll either be beaten to death or have her hair chopped off and become a nun. Besides, we farmers won't let a girl like that into our family."

Although Li Cuihua was very sure about what she said, she had a bad reputation in the village. If she knew that someone had a 雛, even if it was a sesame-sized 雛, she would tell the whole village about it.

What's more, given Old Lady Li's personality, she couldn't hold it in and tell others about the matter of selling her granddaughter in one day, let alone two days.

Now that Li An's daughter has arrived, Li Cuihua came here to say that she was sold by Old Lady Li. This is also the reason why Aunt Wang doesn't believe it.

Aunt Wang is kind-hearted and treats her daughters-in-law like her own daughters. She has always been dissatisfied with the way Aunt Li tortures her two daughters-in-law.

But as a neighbor, she really had no right to interfere. Sometimes when she saw that Mrs. Li was really going too far, she would say a few words indirectly.

Even so, she was still criticized by Old Lady Li, who scolded her for worrying about nothing.

Of course, she also has a temper. After being scolded a few times, she no longer meddles in other people's affairs.

It’s just that the twins feel so sorry for themselves that they would give them some steamed buns from time to time.

Her family was not wealthy, but they had two sons. The elder son was married and had a grandson for her, while the younger son was ten years old and of marriageable age.

However, the family's conditions were too poor to build a house, so the whole family had to live in a crowded place. They looked for a house seven or eight times and found one that my son liked, but the other party disliked the fact that the family had no house and did not agree.

Therefore, the whole family lived frugally, hoping to save money to build a house for their youngest son.

No matter how much she sympathized with the twins, she couldn't give them too much.

But seeing Li Cuihua using Yue's reputation to slander her, he couldn't help but say, "Li Cuihua, you must speak with conscience. You can't make up stories and slander Yue's reputation."

Li Cuihua knew that her popularity in the village was not very good. Even though she was telling the truth, not many people believed her. She immediately said excitedly, "I didn't say anything wrong. The night before Li Mengyue disappeared, I drank a large bowl of water before going to bed. In the middle of the night, I couldn't hold it in any longer."

"I had just pulled up my pants and was about to go to the room when I heard the voices of a man and a woman talking. I thought someone was having sex in the middle of the night, so I opened the door and followed them."

"Guess what I saw?"

The villagers were curious about Li Cuihua and wanted to know who she was.

Li Cuihua saw that everyone was looking at her eagerly, wanting her to continue. However, she really enjoyed the feeling of everyone's eyes on her, which made her feel very important.

Only when someone impatiently urged her did she speak mysteriously, "It was Old Lady Li and Li Jian. Old Lady Li was carrying Li Mengyue on her back, and Li Jian was walking in front. Not far from the village entrance, there was a carriage waiting. A well-dressed man got out. I don't know what they said, but the man gave Li Jian a bag of silver, and Li Mengyue was put on the carriage."

"When Old Man Li and Li Jian were heading towards Wu, I was afraid they would find me, so I hid myself. But I vaguely heard the words 50 taels of silver."

The villagers thought what Li Cuihua said was very convincing, and combined with what Old Lady Li had been telling everyone these past few days, that her son was going to the provincial capital to study and learn from a teacher, and would definitely pass the exam the following year, Li An would rather be labeled as an unfilial son than not divide the family property, thinking that this was probably true.
