"Those are from our village, Liu Daqiang and Liu Xiaoqiang. They're two pitiful brothers, having lost their parents when they were young, so neither of them could get married. The eldest is quite honest, while the second one likes to joke, but he's not a bad person..."

The villagers replied.

"oh!"

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded while thinking about what the villagers said.

The villagers seemed a little confused by Liu Daqiang's behavior and muttered, "Liu Daqiang is an honest man, usually quiet and easy to talk to. Who knew he would suddenly come here today and stop you from posting this?"

Someone nearby joked, "Could it be that they saw the murderer and are afraid that others will see him too, so they'll compete with them for the money?"

Some people agree, "Maybe it's true."

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't listen carefully to what these people said. She looked in the direction of her aunt's house and saw that her aunt had returned home and closed the door tightly, as if she was afraid of something.

Why did she close the door in such hot weather?

Zhang Xiu and Li Kuaizui didn't pay any attention to this. As if they were deliberately trying to piss off Liu Daqiang, they posted notices on several nearby telephone poles.

After finishing all this, they walked up to Lin Xiaoxiao. Li Kuaizui was still a little angry and said angrily.

"No wonder both brothers are single. With such bad tempers, who would want to marry them? They look honest on the outside, but they are evil at heart."

"That's right." Zhang Xiu agreed. "If he had dared to attack me just now, I wouldn't have let him off. Don't think women are easy to bully. Don't ask around. I, Zhang Xiu, have never been afraid of anyone."

Lin Xiaoxiao was amused by their words, "Auntie, thank you for your hard work."

"What's so hard about it? It's not hard at all. I'm not even as tired as working in the fields."

"that is."

Li Kuaizui and Zhang Xiu said.

Niu Niu, who was standing next to her, saw that everything was done, so she asked.

"Can we go back now?"

She was still waiting to go back and get the money. Her mother said that she would give her ten cents when she got back.

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Let's go say hello to Auntie and leave."

Zhang Xiu was also thirsty and wanted to drink some more water, so the four of them went to the old lady's house again.

"Sister, we are going back. Let's get some more water from you." Li Kuaizui called out.

The old lady didn't even open the door, and said through the door: "The bowls are placed by the well, you can take them yourselves."

"Okay, thank you, big sister."

Li Kuaizui said.

Zhang Xiu glanced at the closed door and asked curiously, "Sister, why are you closing the door so tightly in broad daylight?"

The lady inside didn't say anything.

Lin Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and asked, "Auntie, I have a few questions for you. Would you be willing to come out and chat for a minute?"

"I don't have time, drink some water and leave now!"

The old lady said.

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao said, "Auntie, Liu Daqiang and Liu Xiaoqiang have already left and are not here."

There was still no movement inside, as if he decided not to come out or talk to Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't say anything else. She drank some water. The four of them were about to leave when the old lady suddenly opened the door.

"Wait a minute."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao was immediately delighted, "Auntie."

The old lady looked around and saw that the villagers had all gone back to cook and there was no one around, so she waved to Lin Xiaoxiao and the others.

"Come in and tell me."

Lin Xiaoxiao and a few others entered the old lady's room, and then the old lady closed the door and turned on the light in the room.

"Auntie, why are you locking it so tightly in this hot weather?" Zhang Xiu asked curiously.
