Uncle Xiaoyu prepared many of his signature dishes and even specially set up the dining table in the courtyard, with the gate wide open, facing a pleasingly sized carrot field.
Uncle Xiaoyu is very talkative. He talked about everything from carrot planting techniques to the domestic and international root vegetable market, which broadened the horizons of the children he saw.
Xu Zhe and Su Nan tasted the legendary carrots that were only exported, and they were indeed overturned in their understanding of the taste of carrots.
"It's so delicious!" Si Xingzhu exclaimed.
Uncle Xiaoyu said with great pride: "That's right, my carrots are the best in terms of appearance and taste in the whole area!"
"Take a sackful with you when you go back! It won't spoil easily in this cool weather."
Si Xingzhu kept making "Mmm-hmm-hmm" sounds with her puffed-out mouth.
Liang Shaojie answered a phone call, glanced at Xu Zhe and the others' bowls, and seeing that they had finished their rice, he began to shoo them away:
"You should leave now. My assistant is already waiting at Lingnan Airport."
Xu Zhe and Su Nan had had enough of other people's PDA, so they simply got up.
Si Xingzhu was unwilling to be kicked out before he could even wipe the grease off his lips, so he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to get back at Liang Shaojie.
She'd been wanting to have a fight for a long time, and finally found the opportunity to get some action with a man!
Without saying a word, Si Xingzhu immediately launched a sweeping leg and a choke slam dunk.
In a short while, Liang Shaojie was pinned to the ground, his high-quality haute couture coat covered in dust.
"Si Xingzhu!" Xu Zhe reacted and tried to stop her, but it was too late.
"Cough cough..." Liang Shaojie was thrown and pressed down repeatedly, and his chest ached as he coughed incessantly.
"What, what do you want to do?!" Liang Shaojie was going crazy. It turned out that the person who followed Xu Zhe around every day was a lunatic!
"I want to stay!" Si Xingzhu said each word firmly and resolutely.
Liang Shaojie rolled his eyes: "If you want to stay, you can say so. Why did you have to resort to violence!"
"A martial artist should fight rather than argue!" Si Xingzhu tightened his grip.
"Cough cough cough..." Liang Shaojie's trachea was injured by her pinching.
Bei Xiaoyu jogged over and pulled Si Xingzhu aside: "Martial arts practitioners do not bully the weak."
Si Xingzhu jumped up abruptly: "You're right!"
Bei Xiaoyu helped Liang Shaojie up from the ground and brushed the yellow dust off his clothes.
"I'm fine~" Liang Shaojie comforted Bei Xiaoyu before she could speak.
"I'm not weak, it's just that men shouldn't fight with women!"
"That's right!" Uncle Xiaoyu came over and patted Liang Shaojie on the shoulder. "Men can't touch women, you pass this one!"
Xu Zhe and Si Xingzhu exchanged a glance. This guy knew how to save face. Next time, they'd let Si Kangzhu fight him and see if he could still get away with it...
The helicopter took off and returned to Lingnan to pick up the people. At Si Xingzhu's insistence, Xu Zhe and Su Nan stayed at Bei Xiaoyu's house for the weekend.
After lunch, Liang Shaojie changed his clothes and went to the fields with Uncle Xiaoyu.
Judging from Uncle Xiaoyu's posture, it seemed as if he was going to pass on all his lifelong planting experience to Liang Shaojie.
Xu Zhe and Su Nan congratulated Bei Xiaoyu on the continuation of her family business, and the three of them lay on the bed chatting and laughing.
Si Xingzhu, on the other hand, was eager to explore the mountain behind the village. He searched the entire village for materials to make tools so he could go hunting in the forest.
Su Nan and Bei Xiaoyu fell asleep while chatting, leaving Xu Zhe staring at the ceiling with his eyes open.
She didn't expect other people's happy endings to happen in her own life; she only hoped that he would come back safely after his business trip.
Liang Shaojie's plane came and went, his assistant brought a legal team, and the person involved in the rumor-mongering case also came.
The area in front of Bei Xiaoyu's house was packed with people; this time, it really was the entire village that had come.
Liang Shaojie asked the village chief and the party secretary to help organize a village meeting to clear the name of Bei Xiaoyu, the "golden phoenix" of their village.
The legal team has prepared evidence of the alleged defamation by the parties involved, and Liang Shaojie reserves the right to pursue legal action against them.
Now the people spreading the rumors need to clarify their lies and apologize.
Ou Yani stood on a makeshift wooden platform in front of the carrot field, her head bowed and her hair disheveled, making it impossible to see her expression.
Liang Shaojie's assistant took the materials related to her tax evasion and "advised" her that she didn't want to go in and operate the sewing machine, so this was the only way.
The creaking wooden platform constantly aggravated her weakened nerves and her waning self-esteem.
"Begin," Liang Shaojie ordered.
Ou Yani took a deep breath and slowly raised her head. Facing a group of elderly men and women with weathered faces, she secretly mocked herself for this being the most shabby performance she had ever done.
"I made up a rumor that Bei Xiaoyu was a mistress and drove my unborn child to suicide. I hereby clarify that it was a lie I made up and I apologize to Bei Xiaoyu!"
Ou Yani spoke according to the instructions given by Liang Shaojie's assistant, then turned and bowed to Bei Xiaoyu:
"Bei Xiaoyu, I apologize for spreading rumors. I'm sorry!"
Bei Xiaoyu remained expressionless and unresponsive, as if she were a bystander, silently watching the events unfold.
The elderly people in the audience started a lively discussion, like a gossip session:
"Spreading rumors?! That's awful!"
"That's right! To say such things about Xiaoyuwa like that is to ruin the reputation that a girl values most!"
“I was suspicious right away. We’ve watched Xiaoyu grow up since she was little, how could she possibly go astray!”
"Exactly! Old Bei can grow carrots perfectly well, so how could he possibly raise a child badly!"
"Little Yu is so lucky! She's a good student and has found such a great boyfriend—handsome and rich!"
"Yes, we don't even have buses coming to our village. Now it's a big plane that comes. Our village has a plane now!"
"......"
Public opinion immediately reversed, with everyone praising Bei Xiaoyu and her wealthy boyfriend. Xiaoyu's uncle finally held his head high in front of the villagers.
