"Since you're here, let's sit down and chat for a while!"
"You can't take a little kid's words seriously, but it's okay for us adults to chat sometimes!"
Just as Ling Linxue and the dark-faced woman were staring at each other, an older voice came from the villagers.
"Yes, it's fate that we've met. Everyone, come and sit down and chat!"
There are many stone benches near the big willow tree, which were probably put up by the villagers.
Judging from this setup, this must be where the villagers cool off and relax in the evenings.
"Okay, thank you all for the invitation!"
Just as Lin Xue was wondering what to do, Liu Muchen stepped forward and sat down on a stone bench.
"Ah Xue, come and sit down!"
He waved to Lin Xue, who was standing still, and then gestured to his subordinates.
Soon, Lin Xue and her group sat down on the stone benches near Liu Muchen.
"Grandma Gou Dan'er, Gou Dan told us you sing incredibly well. Since we're all gathered here tonight, why don't you show us?"
For reasons unknown, Liu Muchen abandoned his usual amiable demeanor and looked at the old woman opposite him with a forced smile.
Unfortunately, it was nighttime, and no one could see his expression.
"What are you saying, guests? We're just country bumpkins, how could we possibly sing any nice songs!"
Most of the villagers had seen Liu Muchen during the day.
Therefore, I naturally felt some goodwill towards such a refined-looking man.
Now that she's being invited by such a man, it would be a lie to say that the dark-faced woman isn't tempted.
"Big sister, since we're already here, why don't you sing us a song?"
"We've traveled to many places, but we've never seen people in any other place who know how to live like the people in your village!"
"People in most other places live numbly. Forget about chatting at night, everyone looks miserable and resentful when they meet!"
"The villagers in your village are the most harmonious and life-savvy group of people I have ever met!"
Seeing that the dark-faced woman opposite her was still somewhat embarrassed, Lin Xue immediately switched to "social cow mode".
"Sister, is what you're saying true? Are the people in our village really as good as you describe?"
An elderly woman, after hearing Lin Xue's words, couldn't help but ask a question.
"Of course, I never lie. Everything is true and true!"
Lin Xue clapped her hands and said confidently.
"Grandma, please sing one for them! Liu Shun and Liu Zhen, the siblings, have never heard their grandma sing before!"
Whether it was intentional or unintentional, the little dog Egg knew how to stab someone in the heart.
"You bad guy!"
Look at Li Shun and Li Zhen, aren't they glaring angrily at Gou Danzi right now?
When Lin Xue saw that her little granddaughter was about to cry again, she quickly pulled her into her arms.
"Don't cry, Zhenbao. Who said Grandma can't sing? Grandma is just shy about singing normally!"
Lin Xue pulled Li Zhen onto her lap, then gently patted her back and whispered soothingly.
“Li Zhen’s grandmother is lying. Your granddaughter said you’ve never sung.”
Lin Xue's voice was very soft, but unexpectedly, Gou Dan'er heard it.
The child, as if he had been caught red-handed, jumped up and down, laughing.
Not only that, but he also made faces in the direction of Lin Xue and the others.
"Little friend, did your parents teach you that you have no right to speak without verifying the facts?"
Lin Xue was also a little annoyed. She had initially thought it was just a child's playful remark.
But this Gou Dan'er wouldn't let go of this matter, and would keep poking at his two little grandsons' hearts, which was a bit too much.
Even if you want to show off your own grandma, you don't have to go to such lengths to belittle other people's grandmas!
"Sister, I've spoiled my child, please don't mind him!"
The dark-faced woman's face darkened even more. With a hint of helplessness, she grabbed Gou Dan'er's hand, trying to pull him away.
But Gou Dan'er stubbornly stayed on the ground and refused to leave.
It seems to prove that Lam Suet can't sing at all.
"Why!"
Li Xue sighed deeply. Although she had always adhered to the principle of keeping a low profile, this dark-faced little dog had completely shattered her principles.
If I don't show some real strength, won't my little grandson be laughed at to death by this brat?
"Ah Xue, since the children want to hear it, why don't you sing a song for them?"
Actually, Liu Muchen had heard Lin Xue sing before, but they were on their way at the time, and Lin Xue was just humming softly.
Even so, Liu Muchen could still hear the cheerful rhythm and beautiful melody in the song.
So when Little Dog Egg came to provoke him, Liu Muchen felt his opportunity had arrived.
If he were to ask Lin Xue to sing for him, it would seem too abrupt.
No matter how thick-skinned Mr. Liu is, he wouldn't do such a thing.
But today, through Gou Dan'er's mouth, Liu Muchen revealed his wish.
As for the villagers and other people here, in the eyes of the wealthy merchant Liu, they were practically nonexistent.
Anyway, they'll be leaving soon, so there's no need to worry about them. They're lucky to get to hear Ah Xue sing!
"Hey little sister, why don't you sing a song? Don't worry, no matter how well you sing, we won't laugh at you!"
"You're new here, so you don't know, but singing at night is a common thing here! If you're shy, after you're done singing, we'll have some of the villagers with good voices come out and sing a few lines too!"
