Li Weidong was startled, and only after regaining his senses did he say, "Ono is here."
"ah?"
Zhao Xiulian was taken aback, then her face fell: "Why did you leave so soon? You didn't even invite anyone in for a cup of tea!"
"I drank it."
Li Weidong couldn't help but chuckle as he recalled Zhou Xiaoye's shy expression while holding the sugar water.
Li Xiaoli clicked her tongue and exclaimed, "Mom, my brother is blushing!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiulian's expression instantly changed, and she lowered her voice, saying, "Li Weidong, tell me the truth, did you do something to Xiaoye?!"
Otherwise, why would they come to my house and not even go inside, but rush away in such a hurry?
And she even blushed...
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
Although they are engaged, they are not married yet, and Zhou Xiaoye is still young. If any scandal were to break out, the Li family would lose all face!
Li Xiaoli didn't understand what she meant, but Li Weidong understood immediately.
He quickly shook his head: "Mom, what are you thinking? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
Even if Zhou Xiaoye is still a child, he would definitely ask for Zhou Xiaoye's opinion before doing anything!
Zhao Xiulian breathed a sigh of relief, but was also somewhat surprised: "Then what did she come to our house for?"
"Delivering watermelons."
Li Weidong pointed to the large watermelon on the table and said, "But she also asked me if I would go to her house on Sunday. That was a really strange question."
They agreed to get engaged on Sunday, so how could the groom not go?
Li Xiaoli also wondered, "Exactly, how could my brother not go to her house after the engagement!"
Zhao Xiulian frowned: "You really mean that?"
"How could this be fake?"
As soon as Li Weidong finished speaking, his ear was grabbed.
He immediately panicked: "Mom, what are you doing! Let go! You're going to rip my ear off!!!"
Zhao Xiulian dragged him into the house, her face full of anger: "Don't you know what you've done? You still have the nerve to ask me?"
Li Weidong had finally managed to free his ear from his mother's clutches, but after hearing this, he was completely baffled.
What did you do this time?
Zhao Xiulian was exasperated: "I'm asking you, what's going on between you and that Liu Xiaohong?"
Li Weidong was even more confused: "What's going on? What could possibly be between her and me?!"
At most, they met once on a blind date, and then Liu Xiaohong, greedy for money, unilaterally threw herself at him.
Then, on the day he bought the motorcycle, he gave Liu Xiaohong a ride along the way. As for the rest...
Didn't he refuse when Liu Xiaohong went to the restaurant?
What else could have happened?
Zhao Xiulian grew increasingly angry: "What did you say? Everyone in the village is saying that Liu Xiaohong is pregnant with your child!"
"What?!"
Li Weidong jumped up: "Impossible! I didn't even touch her!"
That day in the private room at the restaurant, he only touched her once.
You can't just get pregnant from touching me, can you?
Li Xiaoli pouted: "I didn't touch her, but that doesn't stop the villagers from gossiping. The other day when you weren't home, she came to our house to do chores for two days in a row."
Even my girlfriends asked me, "Are you going to marry her?"
Li Weidong shook his head vigorously: "What a joke! I'm already engaged to Xiao Ye, how could I possibly marry someone else?"
Even if we take a step back and assume there was no Zhou Xiaoye, he still wouldn't have married Liu Xiaohong!
Given Liu Xiaohong's personality, it's easy to imagine that if she had money, it would be fine, but if she went bankrupt, being cuckolded or even kicked out would be a certainty.
Who wants someone who can only share the good times but not the bad?
Li Weidong's head started to ache: "Mom, how did this gossip even start?"
"What else could it be? Just like your sister said!"
Zhao Xiulian said irritably, "She worked at our house for two days. In the eyes of the villagers, wouldn't that make it seem like you two are having an affair?"
"I don't know what's been going on outside, but it's gotten to the point where they're saying you've forgotten your roots because you're rich, that you've already mentioned having two wives, and that Liu Xiaohong is pregnant with your child..."
Li Xiaoli chimed in, "Some people even say she's having twins!"
Li Weidong was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Everyone says that rural women love to gossip, and they can spread rumors about things that are completely unfounded, making them sound very convincing. This time, he truly experienced it firsthand.
He smiled wryly and said, "Mom, others may not know, but don't you know me? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
"I don't care who you are, the rumors have spread like this, and our family has lost all face."
Zhao Xiulian said with a dark face, "These past few days, people have been pointing and whispering behind my back whenever I go out, saying that I haven't taught you well."
Li Weidong was furious: "Who said that? I'm going to confront her!"
"What theory?!"
Zhao Xiulian sighed, "Some people have said they saw you two kissing in the haystacks on the back hill. It's not just in our village, it's even in the neighboring villages."
"Can you go door-to-door explaining this to everyone?"
Once these rumors start, clarifying them is harder than climbing to heaven!
Li Weidong was completely speechless.
If he had known it would turn out this way, he wouldn't have said a single word to Liu Xiaohong back then!
but……
Li Weidong asked in confusion, "What does all this have to do with Ono coming to see me?"
Zhao Xiulian was furious: "What do you mean by 'related'? This matter has become such a big fuss, that silly girl must have heard something and thought you were going to marry someone else. She was scared, so she came to ask!"
Li Xiaoli, standing to the side, said indignantly, "Brother, let me tell you, Xiaoye is my best friend. Although I don't want her to become my sister-in-law, you are not allowed to bully her!"
Zhao Xiulian nodded in agreement: "Your sister is right. Our Li family has never had anyone who messes around like that. Besides, Xiaoye is such a good girl. If you dare to do anything to betray her, I'll be the first to not forgive you!"
Li Weidong was completely speechless.
He didn't do anything!
However, seeing the angry looks in his mother's and sister's eyes, he still nodded and said, "You don't need to tell me that. I want Ono to be happy more than anyone else."
In my past life, I wronged her. Now that I've been given a second chance, I naturally have to make it up to her.
Li Weidong knew perfectly well that this was because Liu Xiaohong, that vixen, had failed in her pursuit and was spreading rumors to pressure him into being with her.
I underestimated her.
"Anyway, you're responsible for handling this yourself."
Zhao Xiulian said irritably, "Otherwise, I'll be too ashamed to go out if people talk behind my back!"
Li Xiaoli chimed in, "That's right, all my girlfriends are making fun of me!"
Li Weidong sighed: "I understand, I'll handle it."
Liu Xiaohong dared to do this, so she must have been mentally prepared to pay the price, right?
He sneered, secretly making up his mind.
That vixen deserves to be taught a lesson!
the next day.
Li Weidong had to leave early in the morning.
Zhao Xiulian immediately frowned: "You've finally come back, what are you going to do again?"
"We're going to exchange the marriage certificate and get engaged tomorrow, and you still want to leave?"
She narrowed her eyes, her suspicions growing: "Could it be that she's planning to go see that vixen again?!"
