"Wang Muling, you came up with this plan all by yourself. Not only did you harm yourself, you also harmed so many people, and in the end, you blamed it all on Xu Xingchen?"
Zhang Xiaochun hadn't known when she'd joined in the fun. She looked at Wang Muling with sarcasm, "You too, pretending to be a top student when you can't even get the skills? You're really overestimating yourself!"
Zhang Xiaochun did not hide the contempt in his tone, and after he finished speaking, he did not forget to adjust his hair bun in a pretentious manner.
Her voice was already sharp, and these few calls attracted all the villagers' attention. The villagers looked at Wang Muling being captured by Zhao Gan, and naturally knew what was going on.
"You...what are you doing? You're a bunch of ungrateful people! Ever since our Mu Ling came to our village, hasn't she helped you?"
Aunt Wang looked at the large number of villagers who had gathered around Wang Muling and felt panicked. Without thinking too much, she stood in front of Wang Muling and looked at the villagers with a vigilant look on her face.
"Don't be shameless! She almost destroyed the rice seedlings of the entire village, and you still have the nerve to say that you helped us?"
"That's right, what top student? Could it be that he's a poor relative of yours who came to our village to eat and drink for free?"
…
Everyone was talking at once, getting more and more excited, with spit flying everywhere. Xu Xingchen folded his arms and watched this scene. These villagers were really stupid and realistic. They would support whoever was good for the crops.
"Bah! Of course she's a top student. Don't blame Mu Ling when you don't have much ability yourself."
"alright!"
Wang Muling shouted loudly, and the villagers' condemnation gradually subsided. "I'm leaving your village. I'm leaving tonight!"
Wang Muling pushed Zhao Gan away and went home angrily. Before leaving, she glanced at Xu Xingchen with hatred.
This misunderstanding that had been caused by some unforeseen circumstances had come to an end. Xu Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief.
On the way back, Xu Xingchen said to Zhao Gan, "I've thought about it. I agree with your proposal. Let's partner up to start a chain business."
Zhao Gan smiled a little more when he heard Xu Xingchen agree. "That's great! I'll go back and prepare well and come up with the proposal as soon as possible."
Xu Xingchen nodded. The reason why she was able to think it through was not because she decided that she could deal with the people in the village, but because she finally saw through the fact that the villagers only cared about interests. As long as she made money, they would swarm up to her and beg her to teach them the method.
Also, judging from his performance today, Zhao Gan is indeed smart and reliable.
After going back and heating up the food, the three of them were finally able to eat. After all this trouble, everyone was hungry and they finished all the food on the table.
The village wasn't all filled with bad news. The story of Chen Pi and Zhang Xiaochun had been abuzz these days, with rumors that the two were in love and had decided to be together.
In the afternoon, Xu Xingchen sat under a tree drinking tea, and Jun Haoyue sat beside her. The two of them leaned against the tree side by side, looking very comfortable.
"You know, Chen Pi has a girlfriend."
"ah?"
Jun Haoyue didn't react for a moment, and stared at Xu Xingchen with half-closed eyes. He looked like he had just woken up, and his handsomeness was a bit adorable.
"Everyone in the village says Chen Pi and Zhang Xiaochun are together."
Xu Xingchen yawned, not knowing whether Jun Haoyue could understand what the word "object" meant, so she changed her words.
"Seriously? That's a good thing."
Jun Haoyue moved his face closer and opened his eyes. Xu Xingchen looked at him and couldn't help laughing. It turned out that a banished immortal like Jun Haoyue also liked to eat melons.
"It's a good thing indeed. Their success was unexpected, but it also seemed reasonable. No matter what, Chen Pi finally found his home."
Jun Haoyue nodded and tilted his head to look at Xu Xingchen. It is always a good thing to have a home. He understands this very well because Xu Xingchen is his home.
"What are you looking at me for?"
Xu Xingchen felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, so he turned around and glared at Jun Haoyue. Jun Haoyue did not avoid him, but only muttered, "Let's have bamboo tube rice tonight." That sentence sounded like he was talking to himself, but also like he was discussing something.
"OK!"
Xu Xingchen instantly became excited and said excitedly, not even bothering to drink the tea. She just said, "I'm going to chop bamboo." Then she ran away. Her face was still slightly hot even after she ran a long way away. Jun Haoyue's eyes were too affectionate today, like silk.
After arriving at the mountain, Xu Xingchen quickly started chopping bamboo. She decided to eat a few more meals here. Once she completed her mission and returned, she would not be able to eat such authentic bamboo tube rice.
"Sister Xu."
A voice suddenly came, startling Xu Xingchen and turning around quickly. It turned out to be Auntie Pang, who was standing in front of Xu Xingchen with a bundle of firewood on her back. "Auntie Pang, did you just finish chopping firewood?"
As Xu Xingchen spoke, she looked down at the bamboos scattered on the ground, and thought that was enough, so she tied them up neatly.
"Auntie Fatty, let's go down the mountain together."
"Hey, let's go."
Aunt Fat agreed, and the two of them walked down the mountain side by side. On the way, Aunt Fat sighed and looked very worried. Xu Xingchen couldn't help but ask, "Aunt Fat, what's wrong? Is there something bothering you?"
"What worries can an old woman like me have? This is the Zhang family's business. Did you know that Xiaochun and that guy named Chen Pi are in love?"
"Know……"
Xu Xingchen looked confused. Isn't this a good thing? But Aunt Pang's reaction clearly showed that she was not optimistic about the two of them.
"You said that Xiaochun is also a child I have watched grow up. How could he follow such a gangster? I am always thinking about this matter. I am afraid that Xiaochun will suffer in the future."
Xu Xingchen nodded and smiled in agreement, then continued, "Since they're together, I think Xiaochun has thought it through. Maybe Chen Pi isn't who he seems to be."
Auntie Pang sighed, "Child, you have to be discerning when choosing a husband. For women, if we don't get a good husband, our lives will be ruined. Chen Pi is a notorious gangster in the surrounding area. How could a good girl like Xiaochun go with him?"
Xu Xingchen swallowed his saliva. He thought about how bad Chen Pi had left on everyone, which was why Aunt Pang was so worried about Zhang Xiaochun's fate.
"Auntie Pang, don't worry. I believe in Chen Pi, and he's not a bad person. He will definitely treat Xiaochun well."
Xu Xingchen patted his chest and said confidently.
"really?"
Aunt Pang looked at Xu Xingchen with half belief and half doubt.
"Of course it's true. I can guarantee you that Chen Pi won't treat Xiaochun unfairly."
