Speaking of this, Aunt Liu began to praise Xu Niannian:

"That child is really a good child. Her stepmother, that damned one, must have been the one behind the scenes, otherwise how could Xiao Xu have such a bad reputation?"

While eating the rice brought by Xiao Xu, the others agreed and said they would go out to verify Xiao Xu's identity tomorrow.

Everyone was filled with indignation during this meal.

Xu Niannian had just dealt with an important matter and was walking home leisurely in a good mood.

On the way, she met a few aunties who were not working and praised her for her beauty. She also greeted them with a smile.

As soon as she left, the aunts gathered together and started discussing:

"It looks prettier every year. It gets prettier as it gets older."

"No matter how beautiful it is, my family doesn't want it. The reputation is bad."

"But it doesn't look like what's said..."

It was just past three o'clock when Xu Niannian got home, and no one was home.

After strolling outside for a whole day, my body was already covered with sweat. I took a refreshing bath in the space and washed and put away my clothes.

Looking at the sun outside through my palms, I felt that everything was getting better.

I lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

When I woke up again, I heard a noise coming from outside. After a while, someone came into the kitchen again. It must be Xu Xiuhong.

After a while, the door opened again, and judging by the footsteps this time, it should be Father Xu and Younger Brother Xu.

After waiting for another hour, the meal was ready outside, but Xu Ruhua still hadn't come back.

Xu Xiuhong said to Xu's father:

"Do you want to go look for Ruhua?"

Father Xu looked at the bright sky outside:

"What are you looking for? What could possibly happen in broad daylight?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a noise at the door.

Xu Xiuhong hurried forward to open the door and exclaimed:

"Hey, who hit you?"
