"Wait a moment! This matter isn't my fault. The method for repairing the house isn't mine; it's Liu Qingxi's, yes, Liu Qingxi's!"
"Who is Liu Qingxi?" The people of Sanhe Village were confused by Wang's words!
"Hmph! That shameless little wretch, Liu Qingxi, was kicked out of my house. To frame us, she deliberately taught me the wrong method, which is why your houses were damaged. Go find her!"
Wang took this opportunity to slander Liu Qingxi fiercely.
Her fabricated story was so convincing that even the houses repaired by Ten Li Pu without issues were brought up as evidence. Ha ha, Liu Qingxi, this time you can't wash yourself clean even if you jump into the river. Let's see what you do!
This time, there wouldn't be such good luck!
Upon hearing this, several members of the Jiang Clan thought, why not take advantage of a ready-made scapegoat?
Exchanging glances, Jiang Clan members Liu Eldest and Liu Er nodded in agreement: "That's right, it was Liu Qingxi who deliberately harmed us. You should go find her!"
Thus, so many people from Sanhe Village were indeed misled by just a few people's words.
"Liu Qingxi must be wealthy; she doesn't know how much she has earned just from this house repair. You can ask her for compensation; she can afford it. Anyway, we have no money!"
Wang twisted her neck, looking like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.
"Sanzi, run to Ten Li Pu again and bring Liu Qingxi over. Also, call the village chief of Ten Li Pu!"
Such a big matter required consultation with Zhang Wuliang even if they were dealing with the Liu Family and others.
Sanzi was the one who had previously run errands to deliver messages. After receiving orders, he lifted his legs and dashed towards Ten Li Pu.
Ten Li Pu
After sending away the misplaced Zhang Village Chief and others, Liu Qingxi comforted the frightened Liu Qingyan and then shouldered her basket to head up the mountain.
As for the problems that the Liu Family was about to face, they were not on her mind!
Today was also lucky; she found some surviving fruits and caught a few wild animals. Liu Qingxi was in a great mood, as this was the first harvest since winter began, which boded well!
Who would have thought that when she passed by Zhang Sanyou's house on her way down the mountain, she would hear Song and a group of women gathered together, whispering and laughing about something.
"Hello, Aunts! You all keep chatting!"
"Oh, it's Qingxi! So diligent, have you gone up the mountain again?" one of them replied with a smile.
Song was even more enthusiastic: "Qingxi, is it cold? Once it gets colder, you shouldn't go up the mountain anymore; as long as you have enough firewood!" More importantly, they had been repairing their house together, and their family had benefited greatly.
"Thank you, Aunt! I'm not cold; I'm dressed warmly. I also need to thank you for helping me and Yan make cotton clothes; otherwise, we would be freezing!"
Indeed, after buying fabric and cotton, Liu Qingxi could only sew a few holes in her past life, and with her skills being so poor, she had no choice but to ask Song for help.
Without hesitation, Song agreed and then spent several days at home wholeheartedly making clothes and quilts for the siblings.
It took six or seven days to finish. Although there were no exquisite embroidery patterns on them, they were neat and warm to wear. In fact, what Liu Qingxi was wearing now came from her hands.
"Hey, what are we to each other? It's just lending a hand; no need to be polite!" Liu Qingxi felt deeply touched by the rough texture of Song's hand as she held hers.
"By the way, Qingxi, did you know? Your Aunt and the others were taken away by people from Sanhe Village. It seems they were secretly repairing houses there, but something went wrong; most of the repairs are going to collapse!"
When Song said this, there was an obvious tone of gloating in her voice.
After all, it was Liu Qingxi who first led her family’s men to do this work. Yet Wang had shamelessly gone to another village to steal business. Now look what happened! Serves them right!
Liu Qingxi remained silent. Even if her relationship with the Liu Family wasn't great, she shouldn't chime in when others spoke about them; after all, they shared the same surname.
It was easier with familiar people who understood Wang and the others' character and understood her situation.
But what about the unfamiliar? That would be the ungrateful white-eyed wolf, the impression of betraying one's teacher and ancestors!
"That Aunt Song, I won't talk to you much longer. I think class is about to end, so I need to hurry home to cook!" It's best not to get too involved in these women's conversations.
What is good today might be the most hated tomorrow; there's no certainty.
Just then, a Young Man came running over, his blue coarse cloth clothes splattered with mud, his hair disheveled from running, like the wind.
"Excuse me, do you know where Liu Qingxi's house is?"
Hmm? A frail girl stood among several women, hardly noticeable, bustling up and down the mountain. Two strands of hair floated out from her forehead, her gaze pure.
"I am Liu Qingxi!" Her straightforward attitude caught the newcomer off guard; such a pure girl didn't seem like someone who would intentionally harm others!
The intense gaze made Sanzi blush, his heart skipped a beat.
"Um, I'm Sanzi from Sanhe Village. It's about our village's house issue; Wang is blaming you on purpose, and I don't believe it!" It was as if he wanted to assure the girl, raising three fingers as if to swear.
Blocked by Liu Qingxi, he gestured for him to continue.
"Our village chief sent me to invite you to Village, and also to invite your Zhang Village Chief!"
"What? What kind of reasoning is this? Wang got herself into trouble and is blaming it on Qingxi! How can this be right? Are the people from your Village out of their minds?" Aunt Song was the first to speak up.
She didn't give Sanzi any face at all; really, was she blind?
The boy's dark face turned red, but it was hard to tell; he awkwardly scratched his head: "Aunt, we just wanted to ask; it doesn't mean that Wang is right!"
"Hahaha!" Liu Qingxi laughed in anger.
Every time she dealt with Wang's new round of shamelessness, Wang would refresh her understanding once again.
No face for people, no bark for trees, a hundred methods are hard to cure!
She thought, can she still have some dignity? Can she still have some dignity? Can she still have some dignity? Important things said three times!
"Alright, I'll go with you. Let's find the village chief first!" Liu Qingxi was already numb to the shamelessness of the Liu Family!
She had never seen anyone more shameless than them.
"Aunt Song, when Yan comes back and I'm not home, could you please keep an eye on things? Is it alright if I eat at your place?"
"Qingxi, I have to go with you. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease. How about this: I'll go tell Dafu's House to help keep an eye on things and also ask your Uncle Sanyou to join us. The more people we have, the less scared we'll be!"
Before Liu Qingxi could respond, she turned and left.
Liu Qingxi felt helpless but couldn't suppress the warmth in her heart.
Zhang Wuliang's House
After hearing about the actions of Wang and others, he slammed the table!
"Qingxi, let's go see what that family can come up with. What can they possibly produce from nothing?"
