Didn’t Li Mingxi come back with Gu Tingchen that day?
It was probably seen by someone at that time, and then someone with ulterior motives spread rumors.
Thinking of this, Li Mingxi's eyes darkened.
She really didn't know that there was someone on the way back from the county town that day.
It was almost dark when they got home. By that time, every household should have been cooking, so who would be outside?
Li Mingxi was puzzled. Niu Cuihua looked at Li Mingxi and tried to persuade him.
"Alright, don't think about it. It's not a big deal, you're really taking it too seriously!"
"Don't worry, as long as you don't have any contact with that kid from the Gu family, no one will talk about it in a few days!"
After hearing what her grandmother said, Li Mingxi stopped worrying about it and turned her attention to other things.
Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, every household has a lot of work to do.
Therefore, early the next morning, after breakfast, Niu Cuihua organized everyone to start cleaning the house.
As a result, just when I had finished cleaning half of the house, my aunt-in-law Zhang Xiuzhi came to find me.
"Mom, mom, something happened!"
Looking at the eldest daughter-in-law who was breathing heavily, Niu Cuihua felt annoyed for no reason.
"What's going on? You're making such a fuss all day long. If you didn't know, you'd think the sky was falling!"
Zhang Xiuzhi glanced at Li Mingxi who was sweeping the floor at the entrance of the main hall and didn't know what to say!
"Are you going to tell me or not? Can't you see that I'm busy with my hands?"
Niu Cuihua took the rag in her hand and was about to go to the main room.
"No, mother, it's hard for him to talk about this!"
Niu Cuihua looked at Zhang Xiuzhi's embarrassed expression and asked.
"What's so difficult to say? If you don't want to tell me, just go home and get back to work. The New Year is coming soon. Have you finished cleaning up your house?"
After hearing what her mother-in-law said, Zhang Xiuzhi made up her mind and stopped being shy.
"Hey, Mom, did that kid from the Gu family get into a fight with someone?"
Niu Cuihua was puzzled. "He got into a fight with someone. What does that have to do with our family?"
"Why is it not related? I heard that some young boys in the village said that Xiaoxi and them were dating. They said that the boy was very cunning and knew that our family was well-off, so he deliberately tried to get close to Xiaoxi!"
"They also said that the boy is lucky to be married into our family! He must get a job in the future!"
In fact, the original words were much more unpleasant than this, but Zhang Xiuzhi didn't dare tell her mother-in-law.
Li Mingxi saw his aunt Zhang Xiuzhi looking at him with a guilty look on her face after she finished speaking.
The look in his eyes was as if there really was something going on between him and Gu Tingchen, and someone had caught him.
Li Mingxi felt that those who gossiped in the village had nothing better to do, as the New Year was coming soon.
A group of people who are not doing their job actually speak like this about others, ruining their reputation. They deserve to be beaten!
If she were here, she would definitely beat these people so hard that they would be at a loss as to what to do!
"Oh! Anything else?"
Zhang Xiuzhi didn't expect her mother-in-law to react like this.
Therefore, seeing that Niu Cuihua acted as if nothing had happened, she became anxious.
"Mom, people are saying bad things about Xiaoxi outside, why aren't you angry?"
Niu Cuihua glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law and spoke indifferently.
"Why should I be angry? Besides, this isn't true, there's nothing to be angry about!"
"But, those people are saying bad things about our family behind our backs. If we don't do anything about it, who knows what they'll say."
Niu Cuihua looked at her anxious eldest daughter-in-law and spoke slowly.
"Just say it. A man of integrity has nothing to fear! Besides, even if we ask now, who knows where this rumor came from?"
When Zhang Xiuzhi heard what Niu Cuihua said, she felt that what she said made sense.
The question is, isn't she worried that this incident will affect her children at home?
But seeing her mother-in-law's impatient face, she didn't dare to say anything more and had to leave in disappointment.
Watching his aunt-in-law leave, Li Mingxi looked at Niu Cuihua in confusion.
Niu Cuihua noticed the way her granddaughter looked at her and thought she was concerned about her reputation.
She slowly spoke to comfort him, "Xiao Xi, don't worry, grandma will definitely help you find out who spread this rumor!"
After hearing this, Li Mingxi realized that her grandma thought she was worried.
But she was not worried at all. In her opinion, reputation and other things were really not that important!
Besides, aren't the reasons those people keep ruining my reputation out of jealousy, trying to find my mistakes and embarrass me?
Li Mingxi really doesn't care about those who hide in the dark.
Niu Cuihua looked at her granddaughter's relaxed expression and knew that she didn't take the matter to heart, so she felt relieved immediately.
After lunch, if Li Mingxi wasn't there, she would go out.
As a result, as soon as I reached the foot of the mountain, I saw Gu Tingchen standing there, as if he was thinking about something.
Looking at Gu Tingchen, Li Mingxi was very confused. Why was this guy standing at the foot of the mountain if he had nothing to do?
Isn't he cold?
Gu Tingchen seemed to know what Li Mingxi was thinking. He turned around and started to explain to her.
"I'm not cold!"
After a pause, he continued, "I've already checked out the rumors in the brigade!"
Hearing him say that he had found the person who spread the rumor, Li Mingxi looked at Gu Tingchen in surprise.
"Really? Who is it? When we both came here that day, it was very late. Who would stand outside for no reason?"
When Gu Tingchen saw Li Mingxi's shining eyes looking at him, he felt a little embarrassed for some reason.
So he quickly looked up into the distance.
"This news came from Maodan's house!"
"I'm so sorry this has caused you trouble. Don't worry, I'll go warn that old woman this afternoon!"
After listening to Gu Tingchen's answer and thinking about the relationship between his grandmother and Niu Juxiang, Li Mingxi understood.
If it was spread from Niu Juxiang's family, then in this matter, it was I who dragged others down.
As a result, people are even apologizing to me.
So she spoke directly.
"You can't say that. I'm the one who implicated you. Everyone in the village knows that the relationship between our family and Maodan's family has always been bad!"
Having said that, Li Mingxi looked at Gu Tingchen apologetically.
"I guess Maodan's grandma just doesn't like my family, so she dragged you into this. I'm the one who should be sorry!"
Hearing this, Gu Tingchen wanted to say something to Li Mingxi.
Before he could open his mouth, he heard someone calling Li Mingxi, so he had to swallow the words!
"Xiaoxi, go home!"
"Right on!"
After Li Mingxi responded, he said goodbye to Gu Tingchen and rushed home!
Gu Tingchen looked at Li Mingxi leaving, his eyes flashing.
Then he turned around and rushed home.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw his grandfather standing there.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?"
