"Your cooking skills are really good!"

The same wild boar meat, but Meng Tian's version is so fragrant and delicious, while theirs is greasy and smells terrible.

Meng Tian smiled. She knew it wasn't wild boar meat, but she wouldn't tell anyone. She had grown up with Zuo Zuo since childhood and had long suspected that Zuo Zuo had a secret. But if Zuo Zuo didn't say anything, Meng Tian would never ask. As long as Zuo Zuo was still Zuo Zuo, that was fine.

"Zhu Xiaoxiao! You get out here right now! You shameless, slutty vixen! You dared to seduce my Sishui and ruined him so badly! Come out here!"

Zhu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) in a daze, was startled by the sharp cursing outside and shuddered, her skin immediately breaking out in goosebumps.

"Aunt Yang? It's almost dinner time. Why are you causing trouble at the educated youth settlement instead of eating?"

As the eldest among the female educated youth, Li Fanghua naturally wouldn't stand idly by while the villagers bullied Zhu Xiaoxiao, who was also an educated youth.

"What's it to you? Get out of my way! I'm looking for that vixen Zhu Xiaoxiao!"

As he spoke, he rushed into the yard with his head down, his stubborn and unyielding manner causing Li Fanghua to frown in exasperation.

It's not that the villagers are uneducated, it's that they'll act like thugs when you try to reason with them, and they'll act like thugs when you try to reason with them. No matter what you say, they're always right. If they can't win the argument, they'll lie on the ground, throw a tantrum, kick their legs, slap their thighs, and cry and sing while cursing all the women in your family for eighteen generations.

Zhu Xiaoxiao stood pale-faced at the doorway, watching the farce unfolding there. Her eyes gradually reddened, and her hands and feet began to feel cold.

Is she destined to end up like Li Yamei, starving and cold, subjected to beatings and scoldings, and forced to work to earn work points even while nine months pregnant?

"Wipe your tears, straighten your back, and remember, you've been with me ever since you parted ways with Li Yamei today. You haven't seen anyone else! Do you understand?"

Gu Zuozuo appeared beside Zhu Xiaoxiao at some point, her calm gaze fixed on Aunt Yang, who was making a ruckus outside the door, as she gently instructed Zhu Xiaoxiao, who was on the verge of tears.

"Memorize this sentence and repeat it to yourself. As long as you can fool yourself, that shrew outside the door can't do anything to you."

Zhu Xiaoxiao is usually lively and carefree, but her greatest strength is that she listens to advice.

Upon hearing Gu Zuozuo's words, she subconsciously began to do as she was told. After brainwashing herself more than a dozen times, a hint of color finally crept onto her pale face, and her originally panicked eyes became exceptionally firm.

"Zhu Xiaoxiao, you little hussy, come out here! I know you're home! You've got the nerve to seduce men, so come out here! Come out, come out here! Don't hide and stay silent!"

Aunt Yang was so angry she was almost going crazy. Her precious youngest son had only gone out for a short while and was now covered in injuries. Not only that, his manhood had been kicked and broken in two, and it couldn't be reattached. He was so young, what would become of him?

Only then did she come to her senses. Wasn't her youngest son the one who went to find Zhu Xiaoxiao at the educated youth settlement? Since her son had ended up like this, as the last person to see him, she must know what had happened to him!

If it has nothing to do with her, I will at most apologize. But if it does, I will never let her off the hook!

Zhu Xiaoxiao walked to the front door, her fingernails digging into Xiang's palm, her face still showing her usual cleverness and liveliness.

“Aunt Yang, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want. I’m not familiar with your sons at all, let alone seducing them. I’m not so desperate as to be interested in just any Tom, Dick, or Harry!”

"You're lying! You clearly went into the woods with my son today! And you still won't admit it! You little slut! You worthless brat! And you still complain about my son!"

As she spoke, the burly Aunt Yang pushed aside Li Fanghua, who was protecting Zhu Xiaoxiao, and reached out to grab Zhu Xiaoxiao's hair.

"Don't you want your hand anymore?"
