Another day passed, and the Mo family didn't hear anyone maliciously slandering them, but they unexpectedly stumbled upon a juicy piece of gossip.
Zhang Cuicui came over because she was quite familiar with Su Nanxi and often came to her house, so they got together without any awkwardness and liked to chat whenever they had something to say.
So, this big juicy gossip was also brought over by Zhang Cuicui.
She made some pastries, and remembering that Su Nanxi said she didn't have time to make snacks in the fields today, she brought some over so that they could all try them.
Freshly baked, it smelled delicious. Zhang Cuicui was quite satisfied, feeling it was presentable, and ran over excitedly.
The sun was setting, and after dinner, the Mo family stayed in the courtyard to rest and cool off.
Seeing Zhang Cuicui come over, they invited her to sit down for a while and have some flower tea.
Zhang Cuicui didn't stand on ceremony. She placed the small basket on the table, sat down, and said with a smile, "I made some pastries and brought some over while they were still hot. I don't know if they'll suit your taste, but you can try them if you don't mind! If you like them, bring more next time. If you don't like them, hehe, you can finish them too!"
It sounded like a joke, and everyone laughed. They even joked, "Why don't we keep one and bring it back?"
Zhang Cuicui objected, "No! Wouldn't it be more comfortable for me to carry an empty basket? Leaving one would require extra care, otherwise it would slip off somewhere along the way when I run! If you want to take one, hey, this flower tea is nice, I can take some of that!"
Grandma Mo said cheerfully, "Those flower teas are all picked from the mountain, they're not worth much. If you like them, I'll bring you a jar back with me! The weather is so hot, drinking some flower tea is really good for you. You have such good taste! You don't know, these flower teas are so expensive in town! Those of us who know about them can save a lot of money!"
Su Nanxi had already poured Zhang Cuicui a glass. Zhang Cuicui happily picked it up and took a sip, enjoying it immensely. The next second, her eyes lit up with surprise, and she took another sip, liking it more and more with each sip!
After finishing his tea, he was still savoring it, smacking his lips. "Mmm! It's so delicious! All the flavors are just right. After one sip, I want another! My mouth is filled with the fragrance of flowers now. It feels amazing! What kind of flowers are these? I want to get some so my family can drink tea every day! It really makes me feel so refreshed! No wonder the rich people in town love tea so much!"
Su Nanxi poured her another cup. "Rich people don't like to drink flower tea. Flower tea has only recently become popular. It clears heat and detoxifies, soothes the liver and moistens the lungs, and can even nourish the skin! It's very popular with women. They think it's really effective, and they love to brew it in this kind of weather."
Zhang Cuicui took a sip and asked doubtfully, "Can't men drink this?"
Old Mo almost spat out the tea he had just drunk. Wasn't he drinking it?
Who says that flower tea is only for women and men can't drink it?
Su Nanxi noticed Old Man Mo's actions, but didn't take it seriously, suppressing a laugh. "Both men and women can drink it! It's very effective, it's just that women tend to like it more! That's understandable, everyone can drink alcohol, it's just that men tend to like it more, but it's not impossible that women like to drink alcohol, that's the logic!"
Zhang Cuicui suddenly realized, "Oh! That's good! I really do like it too, then I'll drink more. My husband wants some too, it's such a waste not to drink such good stuff, he really doesn't know what's good for him, if he doesn't drink it, I'll make him drink several bowls!"
Everyone laughed because Zhang Cuicui was straightforward, unpretentious, and didn't like to hold grudges, so she got along well with everyone.
Su Nanxi also thought of a problem: there seemed to be quite a few wildflowers in the Lianmian Mountains. She wondered if the villagers would be willing to pick them. Everyone seemed very busy. She decided to just tell the village chief and let whoever wanted to do it do it.
Anyway, it's not mandatory. If you have to be told to do something, then you don't need to make money.
Su Nanxi didn't let the villagers pick the wildflowers before, partly because everyone was busy, and partly because while there were wildflowers in the mountains, the dense trees and grass posed a danger, and she didn't want to cause trouble.
Some places are better for picking flowers than the continuous mountains. There are plenty of flowers that are easy to pick, the terrain is not high, and the villagers are easy to talk to!
For buyers, unified purchasing and large-scale acquisition reduce workload and are very convenient!
"Have you heard about what happened to Lai Laoqi's family?"
Zhang Cuicui suddenly brought up this topic and asked in a low voice.
Everyone shook their heads. They didn't care much about Lai Laoqi and Lai Laoba and didn't know what major event had happened, but they could guess from Zhang Cuicui's expression that it probably wasn't good news.
That's exactly right.
"You guys don't know? Everyone in the village is talking about it. I only found out this afternoon. If the aunt next door hadn't come over and chatted with me, I wouldn't have known either! I heard that Lai Laoqi kicked the Liang family out!"
Being kicked out should be a sad thing, but Zhang Cuicui's eyes were full of happiness, and even a little bit of schadenfreude!
snort!
That family is so inhumane!
It's one thing to think about good things all day long, but what's most wrong is to be full of petty schemes, hurt others, and step on others for personal gain!
It would be outrageous not to kick out someone like that!
Zhang Cuicui used to look down on Lai Laoqi, thinking he was blind and foolish to dare to mess with someone like that. She was truly fearless!
When everyone heard this, they thought it was nothing, quite normal. That family's character is what it is, and there's no point in expecting them to change. Haven't you heard of the saying "a bad habit is hard to break"?
It would be hard for an ordinary person to bear, so being kicked out in the end was to be expected!
I just don't know what caused it.
Su Nanxi and Mo Qinghe exchanged a glance, smiled faintly, and then naturally looked away, as if nothing had happened.
"I heard that Lai Laoqi got implicated and was cursed half to death. People said he brought back a bunch of troublemakers, and even the village chief had a problem with it, ordering him to resolve the issue as soon as possible! Otherwise, he'd be kicked out too! But the Liang family thinks they did nothing wrong, saying that since Lai Laoqi brought them back, they should take good care of them! They're using that woman's pregnancy as leverage!"
"But, I don't know where Lai Laoqi heard the news, but it said that the child in that woman's belly wasn't his. He even went to ask a doctor about the woman's pregnancy. After finding out the truth, he took the woman to see the doctor as instructed, but the woman was probably guilty and refused to go, saying that she knew her own body best! The Liang family also tried their best to protect the woman, and Lai Laoqi was no match for them all. He couldn't go and was even injured!"
"Finally, Lai Laoqi lost his temper and kicked the whole family out. The villagers had long disliked them and helped to drive them out, showing no mercy whatsoever! They ignored the family's crying, tantrums, and threats of suicide! And let me tell you, that family was really ruthless; the two sisters actually played a game of hanging themselves!"
"Haha! What happened in the end? You went back again?"
