Everyone nodded in agreement, saying they wouldn't speak and would keep their mouths shut.
These days, the village's production and income are tied to everyone's. When it comes to matters concerning the collective, everyone is very united. Even if they want to say something, they will only say it in front of their own people.
They wouldn't think of talking about the shameful things in their village to outsiders.
However, this place isn't just inhabited by people with the surname Wang; there are also quite a few women who married into the family.
There are always plenty of gossipy aunties in the village, and over time, this matter can never be kept secret.
Keeping such explosive news to yourself will drive you crazy.
Captain Wang knows the people in his village very well, but there's nothing he can do. If he can minimize the impact, that would be best; if not, he's done his best.
He thought this matter would at least stay hidden for a few days or a month, but who knew it would spread so quickly.
When people heard this, they didn't really believe it.
There are quite a few scoundrels, so it's better to believe they exist.
For a while, thugs from other villages often came to Wangjia Village, hoping to find out if there were any women like that left.
If they had one, then the brothers would have found wives.
They don't care at all about sharing a wife. They're all scoundrels, brothers in arms, so what's wrong with sleeping with the same woman?
Some villages do have this kind of business; they've slept with the same woman before.
This scared the girls in the village. It was only after Captain Wang banned outsiders from entering that this phenomenon was stopped.
However, that's a story for another time.
At this moment, Captain Wang glanced at Aunt Li.
Seeing Aunt Li staring at him with wide eyes, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.
Then she called over a few young men, and together they cleaned up her yard. Only then did Aunt Li's face look a little better.
If she were left to clean this yard, she would definitely give Wang Shengli a good thrashing.
Seeing that things had come to this, everyone slowly went back in groups.
They walked for a hundred years and then had a heated discussion about what happened today.
Lin Xiaoxiao said goodbye to Aunt Li and Captain Wang and was about to go back.
Before she went back, she took a special look at the roof of the captain's house and saw that there was no one there.
Lin Xiaoxiao went back home reassured.
When Lin Xiaoxiao arrived home, she couldn't find Han Qiushi in the front yard or the room. After searching around, she found Han Qiushi chopping firewood in the backyard.
He chopped away with a loud clang, as if the firewood in front of him had a grudge against him.
Lin Xiaoxiao found this person strange, and then, as if remembering something, she said, "Your wounds haven't fully healed yet, and you're like this..."
Upon hearing the sound, Han Qiushi immediately put down what he was holding and approached Lin Xiaoxiao with a very unpleasant expression.
Realizing belatedly that his expression had been too serious, he immediately switched back to gentle mode, carefully examined Lin Xiaoxiao, and then said in a deep voice, "Are you alright?"
Lin Xiaoxiao: "Weren't you here just now? I'm perfectly fine."
Han Qiushi looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with concern: "It's normal to feel sad about this kind of thing, you don't need to bottle it up."
"How should I put it... we are also very good partners."
"By the way, is there anything you'd like to eat? I should be going back in a few days to report back."
"Tell me what you want, and I'll bring it to you if I can."
Lin Xiaoxiao frowned in thought: "Bring him here. Will you come back after you report back?"
Han Qiushi saw that Lin Xiaoxiao was not affected by this incident at all. Lin Xiaoxiao was not liked by her adoptive parents since she was a child, and even her biological parents did not care about her.
Now, someone her age is harboring such thoughts to harm her. Han Qiushi felt very bad thinking about this.
But seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao really didn't care, he felt relieved.
He felt even more depressed afterward, which explained why he was now indifferent to similar hurts that Lin Xiaoxiao had experienced in the past.
Han Qiushi clenched his fists and said to Lin Xiaoxiao, "There are still tasks to be completed in Heilongjiang Province. I can apply to stay here."
Lin Xiaoxiao: "The application is here? Is there an important task here?"
Han Qiushi looked into Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes and nodded firmly: "It's very important, more important than anything else."
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded upon hearing this: "That's great, then we can look after each other if anything happens in the future."
Lin Xiaoxiao thought that with Han Qiushi's family having such a good background and knowing the mayor of the area, it would always be good to get along well with Han Qiushi.
Perhaps we'll need Han Qiushi to solve some tricky problems in the future.
These words resonated with Han Qiushi.
Han Qiushi took Lin Xiaoxiao's words to heart. They had lived together for a few days and experienced things together, so they could support each other in the future.
Does this mean that Lin Xiaoxiao has already included him as one of her own?
After that...
Han Qiushi seemed to realize something, and his expression finally softened. He smiled and said to Lin Xiaoxiao, "I was just walking around in the mountains and I caught a pheasant."
"We can cook chicken stew with mushrooms today," Han Qiushi said, pointing to the chicken tied up with rope in the corner.
When Lin Xiaoxiao saw the pheasant, she thought of the taste of chicken stew with mushrooms and swallowed hard. The main problem was that pheasants were hard to catch, and if you startled them, it would be difficult to aim.
There are few pheasants, but plenty of rabbits, which are easy to catch.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't think too much about it. Han Qiushi's mood changed so drastically that he immediately wanted to deal with the slut.
