Chapter 242 Xu Damei and Xu Xiaomei
The Ma family had received so much favor from Lin Xi that they naturally had nothing to say, but when he looked at the group of scholars behind Lin Xi, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"I know what you're worried about. Don't worry. I've already told them before coming here that no matter how tired they are today, they can't run away." Lin Xi turned around and looked at them. "You promised me."
The group of scholars nodded, "Don't worry, Master."
So, the eldest son of the Ma family followed with a group of scholars.
Lin Xi returned home after a long time. He ignored them and went back to his room to rest.
Nanny Chang felt very distressed and said, "Young lady is really working too hard. Let others do these things in the future."
Lin Xi smiled indifferently, "How can I leave these things to others? Even though these students don't have any skills now, they may become pillars of the country in the future."
Nanny Chang was skeptical.
Lin Xi smiled and said, "Mammy, you don't believe it?"
Mammy also laughed, "I am old and don't understand these things, but I do understand one thing, the young lady did all this for her husband."
Lin Xi turned away instantly, "How could I do this for him? Madam, you are talking nonsense."
Nanny Chang joked, "Look, Miss's face has turned red. I think there's nothing wrong with this. The uncle is devoted to you, and the young lady is devoted to the uncle. This is how husband and wife should get along."
Lin Xi listened silently to Nanny Chang's words. What she said made sense, but she herself couldn't seem to tell when she had started to think about Xiao Yongyan in this way.
This is probably what it means when they say love comes from nowhere but grows deeper and deeper.
"Mammy, I'm going to sleep for a while." Lin Xi felt a little tired.
When Nanny Chang heard this, she quickly helped Lin Xi to bed.
Youlan, who came along, had already been working here and was familiar with everything, so she started to get busy.
Lin Xi slept until noon. When she woke up, Nanny Chang was standing beside the bed. Seeing that Lin Xi was awake, she hurriedly said, "Miss, you are awake."
Lin Xi was still a little confused and glanced out the window. "What time is it?"
"It's noon, time to eat," said the nanny.
Noon? She slept for an hour.
"Don't be in a hurry to eat. Let's go to the fields and see how those scholars are doing first." Lin Xi said.
The nanny helped Lin Xi up and asked Youlan to bring the carriage over. Seeing Lin Xi's disapproval, she said, "Miss, you can't travel in this state of health."
Lin Xi lowered her head to look at her bulging belly. Well, what Nanny Chang said was right. She was indeed not fit to travel in this state.
Xiao Chu was responsible for driving and took Lin Xi to the fields.
Lin Xi saw many people from the school busy in the fields, and the Ma family had already delivered lunch.
But soon, Lin Xi felt something was wrong.
Ma Laosan invited the people in the fields to come and eat. There were two girls standing next to him. Lin Xi had some impression of them. They seemed to be two girls from the Xu family, Xu Damei and Xu Xiaomei.
"It's strange, why are they both running here?" Youlan felt strange.
Lin Xi sat in the carriage without getting out, and said calmly, "Let's see first."
Ma Laosan was very busy. He put the things on the ground and rushed to the fields to drive back the people who were working.
As for Xu Damei and Xu Xiaomei, they enthusiastically helped to set the table.
Nanny Chang, who was not far away, saw through the two little girls' thoughts at a glance, "Miss, you can see that these two little girls are thinking about something."
At first, Lin Xi didn't understand what Nanny Chang meant, but soon, she saw the two little girls being extremely attentive to the scholar who was working, and they were almost sticking to him.
Fortunately, these people read the books of sages, strictly abide by etiquette and laws, and dare not overstep the line at all.
Lin Xi's expression changed instantly. "What do these people want to do? Youlan, go and invite the head of the village over."
Upon hearing this, Youlan hurried over.
Lin Xi said to Nanny Chang, "In broad daylight, I don't think they would do anything too extreme."
Nanny Chang also agreed with Lin Xi's point of view.
About a quarter of an hour later, the village head came hurriedly.
"I'm so sorry to trouble you to make this trip." Lin Xi apologized first.
The village head quickly evaded the question, "It's okay, it's okay. I figured that since you were looking for me when you were pregnant, it must be something important."
Lin Xi pointed to a place not far away, "That's Xu Damei and Xu Xiaomei, look at them."
The facts were before his eyes, and Lin Xi didn't even need to say anything more. As long as the village head saw it, he would understand what Lin Xi meant.
The head of the village saw the two maids being very attentive to the scholar. He was not stupid and naturally knew what the two girls were planning.
"This is really an insult to our Taoli Village. If this gets out, how will the girls in our village get married in the future?"
Good things may not be known to everyone, but bad things often spread very quickly.
"Just wait, I'll go settle the score with them right away," said the head of the village.
Lin Xi quickly grabbed the village head and said, "After all, this is an internal matter of our village. We shouldn't let others laugh at us."
The head of the village nodded. Lin Xi was indeed very thoughtful. "Don't worry, I won't let these two girls ruin the reputation of the girls in the village."
In a blink of an eye, the head of the village walked straight to the front and called the two little girls over.
To be honest, the two girls had no idea what was going on at first. When they saw the village head coming, they thought something important had happened, but it turned out that the village head was looking for them.
The village head brought the two to Lin Xi's home and invited several older female elders in the village.
Xu Damei and Xu Xiaomei were suddenly surrounded by a group of people and had no idea what was going on.
"What's wrong? We haven't done anything wrong, why do we have to stand here?" Xu Damei said guiltily, huddled together with her sister.
The village head next to him said unhappily, "Don't you know why? I'll let you know soon! Where are the people from the Xu family? Haven't they arrived yet?"
At this moment, a middle-aged man hurriedly ran in from outside the door. He was Xu Zhuang, the father of Xu Damei and Xu Xiaomei.
"Village head, I heard you were looking for me." Xu Zhuang wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked.
The head of the village looked serious, and his two daughters were around him. Xu Zhuang intuitively felt that this matter might be more complicated than he had imagined.
"Now that everyone is here, let's start." The village head sat on the main seat, and Lin Xi sat on the other side.
"Xu Damei, Xu Xiaomei, both of you explain what happened this afternoon." said the head of the village.
Both of them felt a little strange. Nothing happened at noon. What did Li Zheng want them to say?
"Village head, we really don't know what to say." Xu Xiaomei looked aggrieved.
Seeing that they had no sense of responsibility, the head of the village was even more angry: "Just tell us how you delivered lunch to them at noon!"
