After finishing her gossip, Zhang Xiaoxiao noticed that the aunts fell silent, clearly processing the shocking news.
"Xiaoxiao, you make it sound so real. Is it really true?" Aunt Wang asked, half in disbelief.
"Of course! I heard it with my own ears," Zhang Xiaoxiao replied.
"That's just too bizarre," Aunt Wang exclaimed.
"Who says otherwise?" Zhang Xiaoxiao agreed.
"But Li Xiumei is really pitiful; she was actually abandoned," Aunt Wang lamented.
"Yeah, luckily she met Sun Qiuhua, or it would have been terrible for her," Aunt Wang said.
"Sigh, who can say for sure about things in this world?" Aunt Liu reflected.
"Aunt Liu, you hit the nail on the head with that one," Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement.
"Xiaoxiao, you're so young; why do you speak so maturely?" Aunt Wang joked.
"Isn't it because you all have led me astray?" Zhang Xiaoxiao laughed.
"Hahaha, that's true," Aunt Wang chuckled heartily.
"Alright, I won't chat with you anymore; I need to head back," Zhang Xiaoxiao said.
"Xiaoxiao, why are you in such a hurry?" Aunt Wang asked.
"Guangcai is waiting for me at home," Zhang Xiaoxiao replied.
"I didn't expect Xiaoxiao to be so caring towards her husband," Aunt Liu teased.
"Aunt Liu, what are you saying? If I don't care for Guangcai, who will?" Zhang Xiaoxiao responded matter-of-factly.
"What about Li Xiumei?" Aunt Liu suddenly asked.
"Aunt Liu, what do you mean by that?" Zhang Xiaoxiao frowned.
"Isn't Li Xiumei fond of Zhao Guangcai? By taking him away, don't you think you're being unfair to her?" Aunt Liu questioned.
"Aunt Liu, what are you talking about? When did I take him away?" Zhang Xiaoxiao retorted.
"You took Zhao Guangcai, whom Li Xiumei likes. Isn't that taking him away?" Aunt Liu stated.
"Aunt Liu, I think you've got it wrong," Zhang Xiaoxiao said coldly.
"Where did I go wrong?" Aunt Liu asked.
"First of all, Zhao Guangcai is not Li Xiumei's husband; he's just her neighbor. Secondly, I didn't take him away; Zhao Guangcai and I are mutually affectionate," Zhang Xiaoxiao explained.
"But it is a fact that Li Xiumei likes Zhao Guangcai," Aunt Liu said.
"Aunt Liu, I hope you can understand one thing," Zhang Xiaoxiao said.
"What is it?" Aunt Liu asked.
"Zhao Guangcai is not a commodity; he is a person with his own thoughts and choices. No one can force him," Zhang Xiaoxiao said firmly.
"This..." Aunt Liu was left speechless.
"Aunt Liu, I know you care about Li Xiumei, but that doesn't give you the right to slander me," Zhang Xiaoxiao said.
"I... I didn't," Aunt Liu replied weakly.
"Whether you did or not, you know in your heart," Zhang Xiaoxiao said.
"Xiaoxiao, Aunt Liu didn't mean it that way," Aunt Wang quickly intervened.
"Then what did she mean?" Zhang Xiaoxiao pressed on.
"I... I just feel that Li Xiumei is too pitiful," Aunt Liu said.
"Aunt Liu, do you know a saying?" Zhang Xiaoxiao suddenly asked.
"What saying?" Aunt Liu instinctively asked.
"Those who are pitiful must have something hateful about them," Zhang Xiaoxiao stated word by word.
"Xiaoxiao, how could you say that Li Xiumei is hateful?" Aunt Wang disagreed.
"Aunt Wang, I was just giving an example," Zhang Xiaoxiao explained.
"That's good then," Aunt Wang sighed in relief.
"Aunt Liu, I hope next time you stand up for someone, you think carefully about the consequences first," Zhang Xiaoxiao said to Aunt Liu.
"Xiaoxiao, I..." Aunt Liu tried to defend herself but was interrupted by Zhang Xiaoxiao.
"Aunt Liu, you are a smart person; you should know what I mean," Zhang Xiaoxiao said.
"I understand," Aunt Liu gritted her teeth.
"That's good to hear," Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded in satisfaction.
"Then I'll take my leave," Aunt Liu said with a forced smile.
"Okay," Zhang Xiaoxiao replied.
After Aunt Liu left, Zhang Xiaoxiao also went home.
Once Aunt Liu returned home, her expression immediately darkened.
She sat in a chair, reflecting on what Zhang Xiaoxiao had just said, feeling increasingly uneasy about it.
She indeed liked Li Xiumei, after all, Li Xiumei was the prettiest girl in the village and had a gentle personality. However, she didn't expect Zhang Xiaoxiao to be so difficult to deal with.
She originally wanted to use this incident to create animosity between Zhang Xiaoxiao and Li Xiumei, but in the end, she ended up losing more than she gained. Now, not only did she fail to make Zhang Xiaoxiao suffer, but she also put herself at a disadvantage.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Aunt Liu's daughter, Liu Feng, asked when she saw her mother's bad expression.
"Nothing," Aunt Liu waved her hand.
"Mom, did something happen?" Liu Feng asked with concern.
"It's nothing, don't ask," Aunt Liu said impatiently.
"Mom..." Liu Feng wanted to ask again but was interrupted by Aunt Liu.
"I already said it's nothing, why do you keep asking?" Aunt Liu shouted.
"Mom, please don't be angry. I won't ask anymore," Liu Feng said timidly.
"Get out," Aunt Liu ordered.
"Oh," Liu Feng replied and then left.
Aunt Liu watched Liu Feng's back and felt a bit regretful. She shouldn't have been so impulsive; she should have thought it through more carefully. Now it was too late; she had offended someone.
After Zhang Xiaoxiao returned home, she told Zhao Guangcai about what had just happened.
"Xiaoxiao, you did well," Zhao Guangcai praised her.
"Of course," Zhang Xiaoxiao said proudly.
"Xiaoxiao, don't provoke Aunt Liu anymore in the future," Zhao Guangcai advised.
"Why?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked in confusion.
"She's not a good person," Zhao Guangcai replied.
"I never thought of her as a good person either," Zhang Xiaoxiao said.
"Just stay away from her," Zhao Guangcai insisted.
"Got it," Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded.
