Zhang Xiaoxiao turned around and went back into the house. Just as she sat down, she heard a knock on the door again.
Impatiently, she got up and asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Li Xiumei."
"......"
Zhang Xiaoxiao was speechless for a moment but eventually went to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Li Xiumei glared at Zhang Xiaoxiao fiercely. "Zhang Xiaoxiao, I'm asking you one more time, are you the one spreading rumors about me in the village?"
"......"
Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at her in silence. "You came to find me just for this?"
"Yes, exactly for this."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure!"
"Alright, then I'll tell you." Zhang Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and smiled at her. "Yes, I did spread your story."
Li Xiumei was stunned. "You admit it?"
"Yeah, I admit it. So what?"
"......"
Li Xiumei was at a loss for words. She had prepared a whole arsenal of sharp remarks to scold Zhang Xiaoxiao harshly, but unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaoxiao admitted it so boldly that all her words got stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say a single word.
Looking at Zhang Xiaoxiao's expression was like watching a little kitten—cute yet fierce.
"You..." Li Xiumei struggled for a long time before managing to say, "Why did you do this?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao tilted her head and looked at her. "Are you sure you want to know the reason?"
"Yes."
"Okay." Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded. "Actually, you are not your parents' biological daughter."
"What did you say?" Li Xiumei looked at her in shock.
"You are not your parents' biological daughter; you are actually the daughter of the male lead's family," Zhang Xiaoxiao said word by word.
"Impossible." Li Xiumei's face turned pale. "You're lying to me, right? How could I not be my parents' biological daughter?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao sighed. "You really aren't their biological daughter. They have known about this for a long time; they just kept it from you."
"Impossible..." Li Xiumei still refused to believe it.
Zhang Xiaoxiao shrugged. "Believe it or not, it's up to you."
"But how do you know about this?" Li Xiumei looked at her suspiciously.
"That's because..." Zhang Xiaoxiao paused for a moment before continuing, "because I love gossip; I've heard all the village rumors."
"What melon? What melon?" Li Xiumei looked confused.
"It's gossip."
"What is gossip?"
"Well..." Zhang Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that ancient people didn't refer to gossip as gossip; they called it rumors or idle talk.
So she explained, "It's just hearsay, do you understand hearsay?"
"You..." Li Xiumei's expression immediately turned sour.
She never expected Zhang Xiaoxiao would say something like that.
"How can you listen to such hearsay?" Li Xiumei said angrily.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, "Why can't I listen?"
"You..." Li Xiumei was at a loss for words.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoxiao waved her hand, "Forget it, you should just go. I want to rest."
"I'm not leaving." Li Xiumei stubbornly stood at the door, "I want to wait for Brother Zhao to come back."
"......"
Zhang Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Why is this girl so stubborn?
"Are you going to leave or not?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked, somewhat impatiently.
"I said I'm not leaving."
"Fine, if you're not leaving, then I will." As Zhang Xiaoxiao spoke, she moved to close the door.
Seeing this, Li Xiumei quickly reached out to block the door.
Zhang Xiaoxiao: "......"
"Do you have any other questions?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked helplessly.
"I..." Li Xiumei hesitated for a moment but ultimately asked, "I want to know why Brother Zhao likes you?"
"......"
Zhang Xiaoxiao was taken aback by the question.
She didn't expect Li Xiumei would ask something like that.
She looked at Li Xiumei and saw her eyes fixed on her, seemingly eager for an answer.
Zhang Xiaoxiao touched her nose, "Well, maybe it's because my charm is just too great."
"......"
Li Xiumei's face darkened immediately.
"You're just bragging."
"I'm not bragging; I'm stating facts," Zhang Xiaoxiao said seriously. "If you don't believe me, you can ask Zhao Guangcai."
Li Xiumei: "......"
She certainly wanted to ask, but she didn't dare.
Zhang Xiaoxiao noticed her silence and said, "If you don't have anything else, you should hurry and leave."
Li Xiumei bit her lip and replied, "I have one more question."
"What question?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked, a bit impatiently.
"How did you know about my background?" Li Xiumei inquired.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoxiao blinked and said, "Because I'm smart."
"You..." Li Xiumei was at a loss for words.
Seeing her angry expression, Zhang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh, "Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. I heard it from my family."
"Your family?" Li Xiumei looked at her suspiciously. "Who are they?"
"My family..." Zhang Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. "My family is..."
Just as she was about to say it was the village chief, they heard Zhao Guangcai's voice from behind.
" Xiaoxiao."
Zhang Xiaoxiao and Li Xiumei turned around in unison.
Zhao Guangcai stood at the door holding two rabbits, looking at the two of them with a slight frown. "What are you doing?"
Li Xiumei's eyes were glued to the rabbits in Zhao Guangcai's hands; she couldn't help but lick her lips. She hadn't eaten meat in a long time. If only her family could have some meat.
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Zhao Guangcai asked again, "What are you doing?"
"Oh, nothing," Zhang Xiaoxiao snapped back to reality and walked over. "Why are you back so early today?"
"Today I got lucky and caught two rabbits," Zhao Guangcai said as he raised the rabbits in his hands. "Do you want some?"
"Sure," Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiumei suddenly came to her senses and asked, "Brother Zhao, can you sell me one of those rabbits?"
Zhao Guangcai and Zhang Xiaoxiao both looked at Li Xiumei simultaneously.
Li Xiumei quickly explained, "My parents haven't eaten meat in a long time, so..."
