Seeing Widow Xia's excited face, Aunt Li glanced at her and said, "Since it's not yours, why are you so excited?"
Widow Xia saw that Li Guihua was still sneering and mocking, and she couldn't help but rush up to him, "Li Guihua, if you hear me talking nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude."
Upon hearing this, Li Guihua's already harsh face became even colder.
"You widow Xia, you are still rude to me. Come on, I want to see how rude you are."
"you……"
Widow Xia couldn't help it and started fighting. The two of them quickly twisted together, and each of them uttered cruel words.
"Widow Xia, maybe that's your child. You had just become a widow for a short time when I noticed something was wrong with you. Now that I think about it, you must have been pregnant at that time."
Hearing this, Widow Xia's expression froze. She was indeed pregnant with Jianhua not long after becoming a widow, but she would definitely not admit it.
“Li Guihua, bullshit. I am innocent, but you have slandered me like this. I will not live like this.” He grabbed Li Guihua’s hair even more fiercely.
Aunt Zhao at the side saw that the two people were making more and more noise, so she hurried over to call them.
After the villagers came over, they hurriedly pulled the two people apart.
"Alright, alright, stop it. We are all from the same village. Let's talk it out."
“That’s right, Li Guihua, just say less.” Everyone in the village knew that everyone had been talking about Widow Xia recently. Widow Xia must have heard something and started talking.
Widow Xia squatted on the ground and cried, "So you guys are spreading rumors about me. What are we going to do in the future?"
At this time, the village chief Wang Yougen rushed over. After understanding what happened, he glared at Li Guihua, then looked at the crowd and said, "Okay, everyone, disperse. Don't spread rumors anymore. It won't be too late to discuss it after the matter is investigated clearly."
After everyone left, Tang Xiaorou walked out from the shadows at the corner.
What Li Guihua said just now directly pointed out the fact that Widow Xia was pregnant. Since she noticed it, others would definitely find out. After all, there is a difference between a woman being pregnant and not being pregnant. Others might have noticed that Widow Xia was different.
Thinking of this, Tang Xiaorou left quietly.
Qin Xueqiong saw her daughter coming back and asked hurriedly, "Xiao Rou, why did you come back so late? Did you go back to Qing Village without being discovered?"
"Don't worry, Mom. I was very careful and no one noticed."
Hearing this, Qin Xueqiong finally felt relieved, "That's good."
Tang Xiaorou and Qin Xueqiong talked about the current situation in Qingxi Village, and finally said: "Although the situation has been relaxed a lot now, if you go too far, you will still be targeted by the police, so Widow Xia will be in trouble." She has already made arrangements and is waiting for the police to expose this matter.
And everything happened just as Tang Xiaorou expected. Widow Xia was reported by the police.
"Village chief, you must investigate carefully to find out who reported you. You have no grudges against anyone in the village. Who wants to harm you? Don't you know how much trouble you will get into?"
Widow Xia felt scared whenever she thought about being taken away for interrogation today.
Fortunately, she gritted her teeth and held on without saying a word. Those people only received a report and would not do anything to her before they had verified it clearly. But she was worried that those people would really find out something, and then she and Old Man Tang would be in trouble.
Wang Yougen didn't expect things to turn out like this, but he didn't let Widow Xia make random accusations. "Don't worry, it has nothing to do with you, so you will be fine. But now we don't know who reported it. Don't say anything. What if it's not someone from our village?"
"Village chief, apart from the people in the village who are talking about this matter, who else would know about it? So it must be someone in the village who wants to harm me. Village chief, you have to make the decision for me."
Wang Yougen sighed and said, "So many people like you who work hard have seen this, so I will tell the villagers not to talk about it anymore. Go back and stay at home, and don't go out unless necessary."
Widow Xia knew that this was all Wang Yougen had done. As for helping her find the whistleblower, it was probably impossible.
Thinking of this, Widow Xia returned home dejectedly, her heart full of worries. She knew that once the truth was discovered, the consequences would be disastrous, so she couldn't sit still and wanted to find Mr. Tang right away, but she didn't know not to be discovered, so she contacted Mr. Tang in the same covert way as before.
However, Mr. Tang did not come at all.
Looking at the empty house, Widow Xia felt only resentment. It turned out that no matter what time it was, she was always alone.
At this moment, Li Guihua sneaked to the rice field and dug out a handkerchief on the edge of the field, with three yuan wrapped in it.
Seeing that there was indeed money, Li Guihua was extremely happy. It seemed that the other party was very honest and gave money as he said. If there was such a good thing in the future, she would do it without hesitation.
After getting the money, Li Guihua left happily.
Tang Xiaorou saw all of this, and she continued to make arrangements for the next step. After receiving the report, those people would definitely target Widow Xia. In this case, she just had to let those people discover the truth.
Thinking of this, she quietly went to the Tang family.
But on the way she saw a fainted boy. She remembered that it was Yao Bingcheng who lived next door to Widow Xia. Because his name was different from the other kids in the village, she remembered him right away. She didn't expect to run into him here today.
Tang Xiaorou frowned and felt the young man's pulse. After discovering that he had fainted from hunger, she quickly woke him up and said, "Eat something quickly, or you will faint again later." Fortunately, it was just a mild coma due to hypoglycemia, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome.
Yao Bingcheng looked at the big steamed bun in front of him and took a big bite.
Tang Xiaorou was afraid that he would choke, so she handed him the kettle, "Don't choke."
Yao Bingcheng was really choked. After drinking some water, he finally felt better. He didn't eat the steamed buns anymore. Instead, he looked at Tang Xiaorou anxiously and said, "Sister, can you go see grandma? She suddenly fainted. I was going to ask for help, but I fainted myself."
Hearing this, Tang Xiaorou did not delay.
"Okay, let's go and take a look."
Now, only Mrs. Yao and Yao Bingcheng are left in the Yao family. In the past, the Yao family was a well-known landlord in the whole village, but when the war broke out, the Yao family donated all their property and all the men in the family went to fight. Later, the family gradually died out. Because of the righteousness of the Yao family, the Yao family was not affected in the previous movement, but other people in the village distanced themselves from them, and now the life of the grandparents and grandchildren is not easy.
"Sister, let's go in quickly."
After Tang Xiaorou followed in, she saw Old Lady Yao lying on the bed with her eyes closed. She quickly stepped forward, felt her pulse, and turned to look at Yao Bingcheng and said, "Go get an embroidery needle."
