"Is Zhang Pengfei not going back to the He family now? He also wants to buy a house in the county town?"
"With what he has done, he can't go back to the He family even if he wants to, right? I heard that last month he told his mother that he wanted to go back to the He family, but his attitude was very bad and he even scolded his mother!"
They thought they were speaking in a low voice, but when they turned around, they saw Mr. Xie, Mrs. Xie and Aunt Xie looking at them angrily.
Everyone suddenly felt embarrassed.
Yes, Zhang Pengfei is doing business with the Xie family. Just now, Zhang Pengfei said that he wanted to buy a house, and they even offered to lend him money.
The relationship is definitely good.
It would be strange if they were happy if they said this about Zhang Pengfei in front of them!
"Uncle and Aunt, Xiangyi, we were just discussing this casually. We didn't mean anything else. Please don't mind it!"
"Just a casual discussion, is that saying bad things about others behind their back?" Xie's mother asked with a cold face.
Xie's mother rarely gets angry like this. Moreover, except for the village head and his wife, everyone else present is more or less related to the Xie family. She doesn't treat them politely, but she will give them some face because they are all relatives.
As a result, she got angry because of Zhang Pengfei?
Everyone looked at each other, and the situation became somewhat tense.
"Oh, it's our fault for being so mean," the village head's wife hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "We don't know anything, and it's really wrong to discuss this. When Pengfei comes back, we'll apologize to him! Calm down, calm down."
"It's okay to discuss, but it's not advisable to just believe someone's one-sided story without knowing the whole story," Lin Xiangyi also said, "Please don't do that in the future."
Her words instantly aroused everyone's curiosity. Lin Xiangyi said this, could it be that there is another hidden story about Zhang Pengfei?
"Isn't there a hidden story?" Aunt Xie saw through everyone's doubts and said unhappily.
Then she and Xie's mother worked together to tell everything about Zhang Pengfei.
Seeing everyone's perceptions overturned, Aunt Xie was even more annoyed: "I know you don't believe it, but are my second brother and his wife and I the kind of people who can't tell right from wrong? If Pengfei can really do that to his stepsister...how can we dare to trust him, do business with him, and even lend him money? It's impossible!"
"We all knew about the last time his mother came over, and we also heard their conversation. It wasn't Pengfei who asked to return to the He family, but his mother wanted to ask him to go back after seeing that he had made money. I was so pissed that I scolded her and even recognized Pengfei as my godparents on the spot!" said Xie's mother.
Everyone: “…” There is such a hidden secret?
Lin Xiangyi watched from the side without saying much. The fighting power of Xie's mother and Aunt Xie was enough. It was estimated that from today on, Zhang Pengfei's reputation in the village would slowly improve.
Seeing that there was nothing left for her to do, she turned around and wanted to go back to the old house.
As soon as she walked out the door, she saw Zhang Pengfei, who was supposed to go back to the old house to have breakfast, standing behind the door. She was stunned for a moment and shouted, "Pengfei?"
Zhang Pengfei didn't expect Lin Xiangyi to come out and catch him eavesdropping here. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
He quickly touched the corner of his eye and smiled awkwardly: "Sister-in-law, why did you come out?"
"I don't have anything to do here, and I remembered that I haven't washed last night's clothes yet, so I'm going back to do the laundry," Lin Xiangyi said.
She looked at Zhang Pengfei trying hard to hold back his tears, but she didn't expose him. She knew that he was moved by Xie's mother and Aunt Xie's defense of him in front of everyone.
The two of them walked towards the old house while talking.
After returning home, Zhang Pengfei went to have breakfast, and Lin Xiangyi took the clothes that she and Xie Qingxiao had washed last night.
Just when he was halfway through washing, Xie Qingxiao came back. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lin Xiangyi washing clothes: "Didn't you say you would wait for me to come back to wash?"
"I took a shower because I was bored. Pengfei happened to be here and he fetched some water for me," Lin Xiangyi said with a smile.
Their well does not have a pump installed, so water needs to be pumped up manually.
Only then did Xie Qingxiao see Zhang Pengfei eating breakfast in the main room. He was holding a bowl, grinning at him with his mouth wide open. He had no idea what he was laughing at, like a fool.
Xie Qingxiao was disgusted: "What are you laughing at?"
Zhang Pengfei's face fell, and he snorted, "Can't I just be happy?"
He had finished eating, and quickly went to wash the bowl. He wiped his mouth and looked at Lin Xiangyi. The corners of his lips curved, and he had a different expression. He smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go and get busy first."
Xie Qingxiao: “…”Did you take the wrong medicine?
"Okay, then go ahead," Lin Xiangyi said with a smile, "I'll ask Brother Xiao to accompany you to look at houses in the afternoon."
"No," Xie Qingxiao refused neatly. He treated him differently and still wanted him to take him to see the house?
Unexpectedly, Zhang Pengfei was not in a hurry. He glanced at Xie Qingxiao, looked at Lin Xiangyi with a smile, and said in a mean way: "Sister-in-law, Brother Xiao is not going, how about you accompany me?"
Xie Qingxiao's face darkened instantly, and before Lin Xiangyi could speak, he said, "I'll go with you."
"Okay," Zhang Pengfei said proudly, waved his hand, and ran away quickly.
He was afraid that Xie Qingxiao would catch up and beat him up the next second.
"Did this kid take the wrong medicine today?" Xie Qingxiao turned around and asked Lin Xiangyi, then rolled up his sleeves, rolled up his trouser legs, and came over to wash clothes with Lin Xiangyi.
"What are you talking about?" Lin Xiangyi said angrily, "He is so happy. Besides the house, I guess he is also moved by his parents and aunt."
She told Xie Qingxiao what had just happened in the workshop, and then asked, "I said I would lend him money, you should agree, right?"
Xie Qingxiao raised his head and gave Lin Xiangyi a strange look.
Lin Xiangyi: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"You are willing to lend him money because of me, why shouldn't I agree?" Xie Qingxiao asked.
If Zhang Pengfei wasn't his brother, Lin Xiangyi would never have taken the initiative to lend money to Zhang Pengfei. Xie Qingxiao still understood this cause and effect.
Lin Xiangyi just smiled, as long as he understood.
Seeing Xie Qingxiao pick up a pair of thicker pants, she stood up and went over to wring out the water from the pants with Xie Qingxiao.
I accidentally held Xie Qingxiao's hand... This unreasonable action seemed to be hinting at something.
Xie Qingxiao looked at Lin Xiangyi with a puzzled look on his face. What happened?
Lin Xiangyi was a little embarrassed and quickly pulled her hand away and said, "I just wanted to help you wring the water off your pants."
She really didn't mean anything else.
"No need. Can't I twist my pants?" Xie Qingxiao didn't misunderstand and signaled Lin Xiangyi to let go.
After Lin Xiangyi let go, he took the pants, exerted force with his arms, and the water on the pants flowed out. In a few seconds, the water was wrung out.
He took the pants and walked to the clothesline, threw the pants on, spread them out, and walked back.
Noticing that Lin Xiangyi was looking at him with a strange look, he asked inexplicably, "What's wrong?"
