After lunch, Zhang Xiaoxiao covered her mouth, looking pained.
"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?" Zhao Guangcai asked hurriedly when he noticed Zhang Xiaoxiao's expression.
"I... I have a mouth ulcer," Zhang Xiaoxiao replied in distress.
"Is it serious? Do you need to see a doctor?" Zhao Guangcai asked with concern.
"No, it's just a small ulcer; it will be fine in a few days," Zhang Xiaoxiao shook her head.
"Then I'll make some light meals for the next few days so you can recover faster," Zhao Guangcai said.
"Okay, thank you, Guangcai," Zhang Xiaoxiao said, looking at Zhao Guangcai with gratitude.
"There's no need to be polite with me," Zhao Guangcai replied with a smile.
"Guangcai, you're the best to me," Zhang Xiaoxiao said as she hugged Zhao Guangcai, feeling touched.
"You just realized that?" Zhao Guangcai said somewhat helplessly. "By the way, do you still want to take a nap?"
"Yes," Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded without hesitation.
"Then go ahead and sleep," Zhao Guangcai said.
"Mm." Zhang Xiaoxiao responded and then pulled away from Zhao Guangcai's embrace.
Just as Zhang Xiaoxiao was about to head back to her room to sleep, the system suddenly appeared.
"Ding! Host, it's time for you to take on a task."
"Why are you showing up now?" Zhang Xiaoxiao said somewhat impatiently.
"Host, today is task release day. Do you want to accept a task?" the system asked.
"I'll accept it, of course," Zhang Xiaoxiao said quickly.
"The task panel has been opened; please check it, host."
As the system finished speaking, a virtual screen appeared in front of Zhang Xiaoxiao.
Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at the tasks on the screen and couldn't help but twitch her lips.
"Why are there five tasks?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked.
[Host, this has already been filtered. In your previous life, your company had many more tasks each week.] the system explained.
"Should I thank you for that?" Zhang Xiaoxiao said through gritted teeth.
[Host, I am helping you.] the system replied.
"Forget it, I'll just do the tasks first." Zhang Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly.
The tasks in the task list were as follows:
1. Eavesdrop on The Mystery of Li Xiumei's Background, Progress Two
2. Leave a deep impression on the male lead
3. Spread the news that Li Xiumei's family is about to leave the village
4. Win over the male lead's mother
5. Befriend Zhao Rongrong
Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at these tasks, feeling somewhat speechless. She had already completed the first two tasks, and she had a rough idea of how to handle the third one. However, the fourth and fifth tasks seemed a bit difficult for her. She hadn't even met Zhao Rongrong in person; how could she befriend her?
"System, can I skip these two tasks?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked.
[Host, I suggest you take a look first before deciding.] the system advised.
"Alright then." Zhang Xiaoxiao reluctantly accepted the system's suggestion.
"Guangcai, I'm going out for a bit," Zhang Xiaoxiao said to Zhao Guangcai.
"Where are you going?" Zhao Guangcai asked.
"I'm just going to stroll around the village," Zhang Xiaoxiao replied.
"Make sure to come back early," Zhao Guangcai reminded her.
"Got it." Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded and then went out.
Zhang Xiaoxiao walked through the village, exchanging a few pleasantries with familiar faces along the way before continuing on her path.
After a short while, she was surrounded by a group of Aunts.
"Xiaoxiao, come sit at my house for a bit," Aunt Wang warmly invited.
"No, thank you, Aunt Wang, I'm not tired yet," Zhang Xiaoxiao politely declined.
"Xiaoxiao, did you go eavesdropping again?" another Aunt asked.
"Aunt Wang, how did you know?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked in surprise.
"We saw you this morning," Aunt Wang replied.
"Really?" Zhang Xiaoxiao felt a bit embarrassed.
"Xiaoxiao, quickly tell us what happened at Li Xiumei's house!" Aunt Wang urged eagerly.
"Actually, it's nothing much; it's just that Li Xiumei's family has connections with a prominent family in the capital," Zhang Xiaoxiao explained.
"Is that true? What kind of connection?" Aunt Wang asked curiously.
"Well..." Zhang Xiaoxiao deliberately paused for effect.
"Xiaoxiao, just tell us already; don't keep us in suspense," Aunt Wang said anxiously.
"Alright, I'll tell you," Zhang Xiaoxiao cleared her throat and then shared everything she had heard.
Zhang Xiaoxiao spoke vividly, as if telling a story, drawing the surrounding Aunts into the scene as if they were there witnessing the gossip themselves.
