The New Year is coming, and every household in the village is very festive, except for Lao Fu's family.
I don’t know who saw it that day, but the news spread everywhere.
Some say that Fu Xiuzhi and her ex-husband had an affair in the grove and were destined to remarry, while others say that that was not the case and that the young lady from the Fu family was very capable and had climbed up the social ladder in the city, otherwise how could she be able to work as a worker in the city.
Fu Xiuzhi turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside and concentrated on reworking the cheongsam every day. She had no idea that the rumors about her had spread throughout Qingshan Village.
Fu Baoer was feeling worried. His aunt was in trouble one after another. He didn't know what had happened to her that day.
It's no wonder that everyone was worried. When Fu Xiuzhi came back that day, she had obviously cried, but no matter how they asked, she wouldn't say a word. She just went back to her room with her head down. She made cheongsams during the day and kept the lights on at night without rest.
Jiang Fengxia and Fu Manshan saw it and were worried.
My daughter is very thoughtful. What should I do?
Fu Xiuzhi didn't think so much. In order not to worry her parents and prevent the villagers from gossiping, she said goodbye to Chen Qiaosheng at the entrance of the village that day, returned home alone, and buried everything in her heart.
She felt that there would be no future between her and Shen Qiaosheng, so she decided not to tell her parents and not let them worry about her. As for Feng Chao, she became afraid after she came to her senses. It was a good thing that she did not kill him impulsively that day, otherwise she would have gone to jail.
She must not let her family know about this, otherwise her parents would be worried sick.
"Dad, Mom, I'm going to deliver the clothes," Fu Xiuzhi said, tidying herself up and even drawing her eyebrows. "I'll be back in a while."
She and Shen Qiaosheng made an appointment to meet on the road outside the village today.
"Let Heiwa go with you." Jiang Fengxia was worried. The gossips of those old ladies outside were no joke. What if her daughter became upset?
"What can happen in broad daylight? I'll go by myself." Fu Xiuzhi waved her hand, "I'm leaving, mother!"
"What do you think my aunt is doing? Why is she so anxious?" Fu Yuanbei held up his chin and approached mysteriously, "Shall we go and take a look secretly?"
Fu Baoer was actually quite curious, but she knew everyone had secrets, so she said, "No!"
"It's up to you whether you want to go or not, little brat." Fu Yuanbei poked Fu Baoer's head, "You won't understand even if you go."
Fu Baoer covered his forehead and glared at Fu Yuanbei, saying as if a seven-year-old child like you could understand, "You are a little brat!"
However, her proposal was supported by everyone, including her grandparents.
"Ahem, follow me secretly and don't let your aunt see me." Fu Manshan said this and went back to the house embarrassedly.
Fu Baoer opened his eyes wide in disbelief. Hey, curiosity will kill the kids!
But she had no say among these children.
Heiwa took the lead, and Fu Yuanyou, with his younger brothers and sisters, followed Fu Xiuzhi, who was walking very fast, from a distance.
From the back of their aunt, they came to the conclusion that she must be in a good mood.
Fu Xiuzhi was indeed happy. Even though she was prepared for a secret crush, she still couldn't wait to see Shen Qiaosheng.
When passing by the ancient locust tree at the entrance of the village, Fu Xiuzhi subconsciously slowed down. There were quite a few people sitting there, chatting lazily in the warm winter sun.
"Auntie, auntie." Fu Xiuzhi greeted everyone one by one.
"It's Xiuzhier, where have you been? It's so early in the morning, and you're not helping your mother with housework, but always running out."
It was Aunt Niu Er, the most gossipy woman in the village. Fu Xiuzhi smiled sheepishly and said, "Aunt, I'm going to deliver clothes to someone. I'll be back soon."
Niu Dahua looked at Fu Xiuzhi, who was dressed neatly and had a brighter complexion than her own daughter, and felt a little jealous: "It's different now that we're in the city. Look at how our Xiuzhi is dressed now, she looks so energetic."
"Ren Xiuzhi is naturally pretty, unlike us, who are so ugly."
"Xiuzhi, I heard you're remarrying your ex? Is that true?"
Fu Xiuzhi's heart skipped a beat. Why were they suddenly talking about this?
"...That's not true, Sister Yufen. Why are you saying that all of a sudden? I finally got a divorce, how can I jump into the fire again?"
While sewing the soles of her shoes, Zhou Yufen asked disdainfully, "Everyone saw you sneaking into the woods with a man, and he even called you his wife. How could this be fake?"
Fu Xiuzhi felt as if her head was hit hard. Was someone seeing what happened that day?
"Yufen, don't talk nonsense. Maybe Xiuzhi has encountered something. Who is this person? We are from the same village, but he didn't come out to help when he saw something was happening." Feng Guiying was on the side of the Fu family, and she quickly tried to make amends for Fu Xiuzhi.
Zhou Yufen looked very confident: "It was Aunt Niu's dog Dan who saw it. He's just a little kid, he must be scared, how can he come out to help?"
Niu Dahua didn't expect Zhou Yufen to reveal the truth so easily. Her face turned pale, but she still spoke curiously, "Xiuzhi, my dog Dan said there's another man driving a car! Oh my God, is he your lover in the city? You're really capable of hooking up with a city person."
Fu Xiuzhi could barely hold back her smile. She clenched the bag in her hand. "Goudan must have seen it wrong. The factory leader gave me a task that day. Look, it's this dress. I was in a hurry to wear it for the New Year. It was pitch dark, and a child wouldn't know anything, so it's normal for him to have seen it wrong."
Niu Dahua curled her lips and didn't believe it.
Others also disagreed, saying that the rumor was well-founded and definitely not groundless.
Fu Xiuzhi almost fled in panic. After she walked far away, she even felt that she could still hear the villagers' discussions.
