Li Shanxing's plan was very successful. The villagers' attention was indeed diverted, and their eyes became suspicious of Li Xiuxiu again. Like a weather vane, they would bend to one side with the slightest breeze, which was frustrating.
The village chief chimed in, "Don't talk nonsense. Xiuxiu runs a company with a clean reputation. How could she do anything reckless? She's not like you, shameless."
Li Shanxing sneered and mocked, "Village chief, of course you'll speak up for Li Xiuxiu. You borrowed money from Li Xiuxiu to build your house. She bribed you with money. How can you not speak up for her?"
The village chief blushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed. He had indeed borrowed five thousand yuan from Li Xiuxiu's family because his son had found a girlfriend and needed to build a new house. This was no secret in the village; everyone knew about it. But Li Shanxing had made it public, and at this particular time, the village chief dared not say anything more. Otherwise, the villagers would surely think he was just trying to curry favor with Li Xiuxiu's family for money.
But the village chief harbored resentment towards Li Shanxing's family, and he remembered this grudge.
There's only one year left before the land and mountains are redistributed. He'll definitely still be the village chief. Li Shanxing's family can forget about getting a good piece of land or mountain. They'll get the worst land. Humph!
Ye Qingqing stepped forward and said, "I am Li Xiuxiu's friend. Two years ago, Li Xiuxiu worked at my grandmother's house and took good care of my grandmother's daily life. She was very dedicated, so our family all treated Sister Xiuxiu like our own family. We have a very good relationship."
The villagers then noticed the beautiful and fashionable Ye Qingqing. This girl looked like she came from a big city; the girls in the village didn't have that kind of temperament.
When Ye Qingqing said that she was Li Xiuxiu's former employer, his respect for her increased even more. In the past, only wealthy families could afford to hire servants, and someone like Ye Qingqing was a young lady from a wealthy family.
Moreover, Li Xiuxiu had mentioned before that the family she worked for seemed to be high-ranking officials, and Ye Qingqing was the daughter of an official, so how could they not treat her with respect?
Ye Qingqing added, “I can absolutely guarantee Xiuxiu’s character. She worked diligently at my house and never did anything reckless. Later, she started her own company and still had contact with our family. We know her situation very well. She really runs her company honestly and steadily, unlike what Li Shanxing said. On the contrary, Li Shanxing came to our house for a few meals, and our family had a very bad impression of her.”
"Why? What bad thing did Shanxing do?" someone asked with interest.
Ye Qingqing glanced at the ashamed Aunt Xu and exclaimed, "Aunt Xu, I used to think you were different from Li Shanxing, but I never expected you to be this kind of person too. My grandma misjudged you."
"I...I..." Aunt Xu's face turned red, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Ye Qingqing said loudly, "After Sister Xiuxiu left, she introduced Aunt Xu to work at my house. Aunt Xu worked very hard. Li Shanxing was in school at the time and would sometimes come to my house for meals. My grandma felt sorry for her and bought her clothes and shoes, but she stopped buying them later because she found that Li Shanxing was vain and had a bad character."
The villagers' interest grew even stronger, and Li Shanxing shrieked, "You're talking nonsense, there's no such thing."
"Shut up! She's the young lady of the household where your mother works. How could she possibly wrong you?"
Li Shanxing was collectively shocked by the villagers. No one listened to her; they all wanted to hear Ye Qingqing say that the city girls were beautiful and had lovely voices.
Ye Qingqing pointed to Bruno and said, "This is Bruno, my aunt's personal doctor. He is one of the world's top doctors. At that time, my aunt was recuperating at our house, and Bruno was also at our house. Li Shanxing saw him and had inappropriate thoughts. She tried to seduce Dr. Bruno several times. After my grandmother found out, she stopped letting her come."
