They've all separated, so what does it matter to me if they get poorer and poorer?

Chapter 200 If only he were a little older
At this point, it's no surprise that if Zhang or Aunt Hua were to chime in with a claim that Liang Mingxuan pushed the young master into the water, they would immediately be attacked by everyone.

"We wouldn't dare to say such things. Master Qin and Madam Qin said in front of us that it was just a gossipy servant who spread the wrong information. That aunt, feeling sorry for her nephew, misunderstood and sent people to cause trouble. Otherwise, would Master Qin have invited us to a banquet?"

"Yes, otherwise why would Master Qin and Madam Qin have sent a carriage to bring Zhichun and the little prodigy back?"

"If it were you, would you be so good to your precious only son who was harmed?"

"."

The three consecutive blows left Zhang and the others speechless.

Even flies that don't lay on flawless eggs are no match; there's simply no way to retaliate.

Xu Zhichun and his family were unaware of the ups and downs in the village, because they went to the city to set up their stall the day after returning from the Qin family. The entire set of equipment for making konjac tofu was under the wooden shed in the backyard, and Xu Zhichun specially gave Zeng Xiaoyan a key to the yard.

Even if Xu Zhichun locked the door and wasn't home, Zeng Xiaoyan and the others could still busy themselves in the backyard without any delay. Besides, they still had to take Liang Mingxuan to the county school this morning.

Xu Zhichun picked a large basket full of about fifteen or sixteen pounds of bright red tomatoes from the vegetable garden and asked Liang Mingxuan to take them to the county school to give to the teachers and classmates. He also prepared spicy chicken and diced tofu chili sauce and shiitake mushroom, dried tofu and minced meat chili sauce for Liang Mingxuan to take with him.

"The next time I come back will be for the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Their county school knows how to adjust the work schedule. After half a month, the students are allowed to go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there will be no more holidays at the end of next month.

Liang Mingxuan nodded, "Sister-in-law, don't go out alone. Take Chunfen with you."

Xu Zhichun smiled and said, "What could possibly happen to you in the village, sister-in-law? But you're at the county school. I'm not saying this to be mean, but even though we're all disciples of Confucius and learning the way of the gentleman, there's still a kind of gentleman among hypocrites. There are a lot of people there, so you have to be careful. Dou Zhongli and his group don't seem like good people."

"I will, don't worry, sister-in-law. You have to promise me too."

Liang Mingxuan persisted.

"Oh, you really are—okay, okay, I agree!"

The child's face was tense, his lips pursed, and his dark eyes stared at her brightly and seriously, making it hard for her not to give in. Xu Zhichun had no choice but to smile and nod.

"Sister-in-law, you mustn't lie to me."

The child still pursed his lips, as if his voice was trembling with suppressed sobs.

Xu Zhichun was taken aback, her heart softening completely. "Okay, okay, since I promised you, I definitely won't lie to you!"

Liang Mingxuan glanced at her again before nodding.

He had a suspicion in his heart, but he dared not say it.

After his sister-in-law jumped off the cliff to commit suicide for her husband, the first person to find her should not have been him, but his second aunt. His second aunt heard his screams and came out from behind the bushes not far away. He asked his second aunt to go back to the village to call for help, but she waited for a long time without coming. Fortunately, other villagers passed by and helped to rescue his sister-in-law.

My second aunt later said with a guilty look that she had fallen while carrying a basket of pig feed and scraped her knee badly. She was in so much pain that she was busy applying medicated wine that she forgot about the fall. She only remembered when she saw many people in the village rushing towards the ravine.
He was so confused and scared that he couldn't think straight.

But then he realized that he couldn't have been mistaken; his second aunt hadn't carried any pig feed that day.

She was carrying an empty basket.

Realizing this, he quietly went alone to the place where his second aunt had gone that day. He had a good memory and easily located the place, as well as what his second aunt had been doing while squatting on the ground.

There was no pig feed there, but there were stones.

Some small patches of grass were a different color from the others, indicating that they must have previously been covered by stones, which were then exposed after someone turned them over.

Who would come here and rummage through the stones for no reason? Are they looking for something? Or are they just looking for a stone that fits in their hand?

What is the purpose of finding a suitable stone?

Liang Mingxuan couldn't understand it at the time, but his second aunt was lying, so there must be something wrong.

After that, he would always pay special attention to his second aunt, whether intentionally or unintentionally. He could tell that his second aunt was very wary of his sister-in-law. Even the pressure on his sister-in-law to remarry was instigated by his second aunt.

One day, a sudden flash of inspiration connected all the suspicious points instantly.

What if the eldest sister-in-law didn't jump off the cliff to die for her husband, but was pushed off? What if it was the second aunt who pushed her? The second aunt discovered that she hadn't died on the spot, so she went to find stones, wanting to create the illusion that she was killed by falling rocks when she jumped off the cliff, but she discovered the eldest sister-in-law herself, and the second aunt couldn't succeed.

She deliberately delayed in notifying the villagers, so she had to lie.

To eliminate any future trouble, she strongly advocated burning her sister-in-law's body after everyone thought she was dead.

The elder sister-in-law was not meant to die, but she was uneasy, fearing that her sister-in-law would remember what had happened. So she was wary and tried every means to make her remarry and leave Liangjia Village far away.
Although it was all just his speculation, he felt it was the truth.

When Liang Mingxuan figured all this out, he felt a chill run through his body.

He was terrified.

I'm afraid of losing my sister-in-law, my only remaining family member, again.

Now, he's afraid too.

My second aunt is secretly eyeing us covetously, and my eldest uncle's family is no pushover either. There are also two other families, the Zeng family and the Qin family, whose aunts are also involved. Who knows if these two families will suddenly go crazy?
But there's nothing he can do now.

He didn't even dare to remind his sister-in-law to be extra careful with his second aunt, for fear that his second aunt would suspect that his sister-in-law knew the truth and would act desperately. At least for now, his second aunt believed that his sister-in-law had damaged her brain and couldn't remember anything. After all, his sister-in-law really couldn't remember anything.

Fortunately, the eldest sister-in-law didn't have a good impression of the second aunt and was always wary of her.

This is enough.

Wait until he grows up a little more, and then a little more.

But he didn't expect so many unexpected things to happen, and there were always people coming to cause trouble.

"Sister-in-law, you absolutely must not lie to me."

"No, no, of course not!"

Xu Zhichun felt a pang of sympathy; the child was probably terrified and overreacting. She patiently comforted him and reassured him repeatedly.

Liang Mingxuan felt a little better and nodded.

On their way into the city, they first took Liang Mingxuan to the county school before entering the city.

Both the Zeng family and that aunt from the Qin family have truly quieted down.

Some unexpected things happened at the county school.

Legend has it that Qin Ning'an went to Liang Mingxuan's house to play, but Liang Mingxuan, out of jealousy, pushed him into a deep pool and he almost drowned. The Qin family even caused trouble at the Liang family's house, and the story spread like wildfire.
Qin Ning'an shouted angrily, "Which informant is spreading such nonsense? It's completely untrue! How could Mingxuan do such a thing? I accidentally fell into the water myself."

"But your cousin said it was Liang Mingxuan who did it. Your cousins ​​even got into a fight with him."
