This is considered as privately stored grain. It would be bad if it was discovered. If it is not too much, part of it will be handed over, and if it is too much, it will be taken away directly.

She cooked rice porridge on the stove, and went to the yard to dig a few potatoes from the field. She was sitting in the yard washing potatoes when Jun Haoyue came out.

"Cook?"

Xu Xingchen didn't even raise his head. "Well, do you want to eat anything?"

Jun Haoyue looked around before saying, "Is Mendun'er not here?" The little guy who usually clamored for meat was not around.

"Oh, he went out to play. He will probably be back in two days."

Jun Haoyue nodded in understanding. Seeing that the other party didn't look up, he replied, "Have you finished eating the rabbit meat yesterday?"

Xu Xingchen sighed, "I left it in the yard and it froze. It's perfect. Can you help me out in the front yard? It's hanging under the eaves of the main house."

Jun Haoyue came to the front of the main house and just raised his hand to take the half rabbit that was frozen like a popsicle, when suddenly he frowned and looked towards the door.

He pondered for a while, his brows gradually relaxed, and he took the rabbit meat back to the backyard with a calm expression and gave it to Xu Xingchen to cook.

Xu Xingchen soaked the frozen rabbit meat in well water and waited for it to melt before cooking. When he looked up, he saw Jun Haoyue facing the door with her hands behind her back. She shook the water off her hands.

"What's wrong?"

Jun Haoyue shook his head and replied, "No, if anyone questions our relationship, Miss Xu, don't worry. Let me handle it."

Xu Xingchen looked at his serious expression. Although he didn't understand why he suddenly said that, he nodded in agreement. "I would do the same thing even without you telling me. After all, you are my cousin."

Jun Haoyue was slightly startled when she heard this, then her lips curled up into a faint smile. Scientific research was probably the only thing on her mind.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xiaochun's loud voice came from the front yard.

"Where's Widow Xu? Come out!"

Xu Xingchen's eye twitched. It was dinner time, and Zhang Xiaochun came to eat for free again?

Or maybe she was here to flirt with her 'cousin'. While guessing, she glanced at the person next to her.

Jun Haoyue: “???”

Xu Xingchen moved the porridge to the side of the stove to dry it out to prevent it from burning, then wiped his hands and went out.

When we arrived at the yard, there were quite a few people besides Zhang Xiaochun. Almost one-third of the villagers were there.

"What's up, Chun sister?"

Before Zhang Xiaochun could say anything, Aunt Wang's bloated figure squeezed forward and yelled sarcastically, "Hey, Widow Xu, what are you asking about? What dirty things have you done that you have the nerve to ask?"

Xu Xingchen frowned, "Aunt Wang, I don't understand what you said."

Aunt Wang was about to reveal something with a smug look on her face, but Zhang Xiaochun interrupted her, "Xu Xingchen, Xu Xingchen, you kept saying you were going to find a wife for your cousin and set him up with a family, but I didn't expect you to end up with your cousin first!"

"What's going on? You think you should keep your wealth within your family? Do you know that you are bringing shame to your parents? You should be thrown into the pig cage!"

Xu Xingchen finally realized that being alone with a woman would indeed lead to misunderstandings, but she was behaving properly, so how could she be involved with Jun Haoyue?

"Where's the evidence? Don't talk nonsense without any evidence."

When she asked this question, Zhang Xiaochun instantly became excited. She had been waiting for Xu Xingchen to ask this question!

"Just yesterday, you invited me to your house for dinner, Junxian... Haoyue had to sit next to you, and you two were talking so close. If I wasn't there, would he have kissed me directly?"

Xu Xingchen was stunned. What was wrong with this woman? Didn't she come uninvited? She even shamelessly rubbed one of her rabbit legs. And Jun Haoyue sat next to her. Wasn't that what this self-proclaimed village beauty forced him to do?

Seeing that she didn't refute, Zhang Xiaochun became more and more angry, "What's more, I was burned by the fire you built, and Jun Haoyue went to see you the first time. You were not hurt, but I almost got burned to death, wuwu." As he spoke, he started to cry, with a look of relief on his face for having survived the disaster.

Yes, it’s true. She briefly mentioned the cause of everything, and her description is even better than the media editing.

The onlookers all had contempt on their faces and were talking about it.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's said that this widow Xu has a bad character. Not only did she fail to seduce Zhang Tiansheng from the Zhang family, she even didn't let her own cousin go."

"What a pity! Why doesn't Widow Xu, who is so delicate and tender, come and seduce me?"

"Forget it, be careful your tigress will tear you apart."

"Hahaha..."

......

The villagers' words became more and more unpleasant, and they even dragged Zhang Tiansheng into this matter. Even though he had been proven innocent, there were still some gossipy troublemakers.

Xu Xingchen did not refute a single word from beginning to end, which made everyone think that what Zhang Xiaochun said was true and that Widow Xu was feeling guilty.

How could Aunt Wang miss this opportunity? She also joined in fanning the flames, picking up Zhang Tiansheng and making indirect accusations: "Tiansheng! See, a woman without a husband is restless and will cling to any man she can. You can't have a woman like that. I will definitely find you a well-behaved and obedient wife!"

Zhang Tiansheng grinned but did not answer, but glanced at Xu Xingchen with a determined look.

Seeing that everyone was on his side, Zhang Xiaochun grew bolder, "Widow Xu, are you speaking?"

Xu Xingchen raised his eyes and looked at her dimly. Just as he was about to speak, he heard footsteps behind him and the man in question appeared. He still looked like a handsome scholar, as if the person the villagers had been "discussing" for a long time was unreal.

When Zhang Xiaochun saw Jun Haoyue's eyes lit up, she was probably dazzled by her beauty and no longer hid her intentions, she openly told him her purpose.

"Jun Haoyue! You saw my body yesterday. For my innocence, you have to marry me!"

Wow——

Another bombshell, the villagers were in chaos. What else could this be? Wasn't it said that Widow Xu and her cousin were having an affair? I didn't expect that this cousin and Widow Xu were birds of a feather.

Jun Haoyue frowned and pursed his lips. His originally gentle temperament became colder and colder with his cold eyes.

No matter how stupid Xu Xingchen was, she knew who Zhang Xiaochun was targeting. Combined with what Jun Haoyue had just said to her in the backyard, it seemed that this man had already sensed that this would happen.

The problem is, he didn't tell her! He made her innocently involved in this. She was so innocent.

"Widow Xu, do you have anything else to say? Admit that you and your cousin are shameful!" Aunt Wang hated Xu Xingchen's calm expression the most.

"I've said everything I want to say. Is anyone willing to listen to my explanation? But..." Xu Xingchen replied with his hands spread out.

Zhang Xiaochun's heart was in suspense at the word "but", and his imagination was full of ideas: "But there is really nothing between my cousin and me, but it's right for my cousin to see your body, so it's right for him to marry you."

But Xu Xingchen's words shattered her fantasy. "My cousin said, go to him if you have any problems." He then pushed Jun Haoyue forward.
