The hunter's husband is so sweet

Chapter 28: Gossip in the Village

After returning home, they spent a peaceful day. When the day for measuring the size of the brick kiln came, Fu Jingyi got up early. Grandma Lin's house had been sold to them, so Lin Chen had packed up all the things, and the house could no longer be lived in. Qi Xuan slept with Lin Chen these days.

Fu Jingyi felt that building a house must be done immediately and without delay. When Aunt Wang knew that they were going to rebuild the house, she asked them to stay at her house for a few days and return after the house was built.

Qi Xuan and Fu Jingyi originally planned to discuss with the village chief to rent an empty house in the village, but Aunt Wang insisted that they live in her house. In the end, Fu Jingyi thought it would be better to give the rent money to his godmother.

When Aunt Wang heard that they wanted to pay rent, she was so angry that she wanted to hit them with a broom, but the couple was determined to pay. In the end, Aunt Wang couldn't resist these kids and accepted the money.

The workers who took measurements found the Fu family's home according to the address. Along the way, they attracted quite a few onlookers from the villagers. Some even stood outside the door and watched. Some were even brave enough to go up and talk to them. When they learned that Fu Jingyi's family was going to build a brick house, they became extremely jealous.

Ignoring the people outside, Fu Jingyi took the workers to see the dimensions that needed to be measured, while Qi Xuan prepared a few bowls of honey water for them to drink when they came back. Lin Chen went to check on the fields at home. He had been busy with Grandma Lin's affairs and had forgotten about the fields.

Lin Chen, who came from the fields, lowered his head and walked into the house without saying a word. Qi Xuan was a little concerned. Seeing that Fu Jingyi had not come back yet, he went to the house to see Lin Chen. Sure enough, he had cried again. "Xiao Chen, what's wrong?" Qi Xuan was a little worried.

Lin Chen wiped away her tears and said in a choked voice, "It's okay, it's okay." She obviously didn't plan to tell him. "If you don't tell me, I'll go out and ask. There will always be people saying it." Qi Xuan said and was about to get up. Lin Chen quickly grabbed him.

"Brother, it was some aunts in the village. They...they said that I was clinging to your house and refused to leave. Others said...said. Wuuuu, I can't say it, it's too ugly." Lin Chen hugged Qi Xuan and burst into tears.

In fact, even if Lin Chen didn't say it, Qi Xuan could guess that Lin Chen was a little boy and was now alone. Although he had told the village chief that he recognized Lin Chen as his younger brother, there were still some people in the village who had dirty and disgusting ideas.

At this time, there was a sound outside the door. It was Fu Jingyi and his men who came back. Qi Xuan did not let Lin Chen come out, and he left the room first. As expected, Fu Jingyi came back with the guys from the brick kiln. Qi Xuan brought out the prepared honey water and said, "Thank you all for your hard work. This is honey water. You can have some first to sweeten your mouth."

Honey water is not common, and several guys happily took the bowl and drank it all. They also had a different opinion of this family. It was not common to treat people with honey water casually. They even worked more seriously.

After measuring the dimensions, Fu Jingyi told him what he wanted to build. The workers were indeed professional and quickly drew a blueprint with the basic deviations that Fu Jingyi had mentioned. Qi Xuan's eyes lit up after seeing it and he liked it very much. It also matched the appearance of his dream house.

The two of them immediately decided to press this cover. Originally, they wanted to ask Lin Chen to come and take a look, but they thought that he might not be able to come out to see people now, so they gave up. At noon, Qi Xuan left the guys to have lunch, and Fu Jingyi stayed to discuss wages and construction period with the workers.

Inside the house, Lin Chen had calmed down and stopped crying. He was more angry. His brother and brother-in-law were both good people, and treated him better than their own brothers. Why did the people in the village say such harsh things? Especially when they actually... Lin Chen didn't want to think about it anymore, he felt sick.

But he was afraid that if the rumors spread too much, that person would hear them. Recently, Lin Chen would always think of him and blush when he thought of him. He didn't notice it at first, but after a long time, he thought that this must be love. He liked that person.

But he didn't dare tell anyone, not even Qi Xuan. He was a burden now, and he didn't want to delay that person. He decided to calm down and go out to help Qi Xuan cook.

Qi Xuan, who was about to cook, suddenly heard voices coming from outside. The voice was not lowered deliberately, as if it was spoken intentionally for them to hear.

"Wow! This hunter is really rich. He should have moved into a big brick house." Another person continued, "What? Lin Chen even lives in his house. Who knows what the relationship is between these three people?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Didn't the village chief say that Qi Xuan accepted him as his younger brother?" This time it was a man's voice. "What brother? I think he's a lover's brother. Tsk tsk, this hunter knows how to enjoy life. How can this be called the happiness of Qi people?" The woman who spoke first laughed after she finished speaking.

Qi Xuan's hand holding the kitchen knife was shaking. Lin Chen had been unwilling to speak just now, so he must have heard all this. He couldn't stand it any longer! Qi Xuan walked out of the door with the kitchen knife in hand. The three people were still chatting and didn't see Qi Xuan coming towards them at all.

"Oh, you guys seem to be having a great time chatting. Tell me what you're so happy about." Qi Xuan said sarcastically.

The people who were chatting excitedly were stunned when they heard this. They were even more embarrassed when they saw that the person coming was Qi Xuan. The man was so scared when he saw Qi Xuan holding a kitchen knife that he turned around and wanted to run away. Qi Xuan grabbed the man and said, "Don't leave. Talk to me too."

His voice was quite loud, attracting quite a few people who were already watching the fun at his doorstep. Seeing that more people gathered around, Qi Xuan began his performance.

"Uncles and aunts, what were you talking about just now? I was cooking in the house and heard something like, 'My beloved brother, my husband enjoys the blessing of having two wives.'"

Some people around gasped after hearing this. These people were so bold to say that, and they even said it at someone's doorstep. They were really asking for a fight.

"No, no, Xuan'er, you heard it wrong. The aunts didn't say that." The two women hurriedly denied it.

"Oh, it sounds like you were the one who started it." Qi Xuan looked at one of them with a fake smile, "I remember you, when my husband went to his godmother's house to propose marriage, you were sour and regretted not giving your own brothers and sisters to my husband."

The woman's face changed, but she didn't say anything. Qi Xuan continued, "After Qi Dazhuang got married, you were also watching the fun and accused me of being cold-blooded and not caring about my own father? It was you, right?"

"No, no." The woman kept shaking her head, saying it wasn't her. "Well, okay, I think what you said makes sense. Otherwise, I'll make the decision. Can you see if you are a boy or a girl? Can you come into our house?"

After saying this, the surroundings instantly became quiet. Unexpectedly, the woman's eyes really lit up. Qi Xuan ignored the surroundings and continued to speak, "But, as you said, my husband is enjoying life. Lin Chen and I also want to enjoy life, so let your man come and serve us."

The woman turned pale after hearing this. "Bah! Who the hell are you? You are mistreating my child!"

Qi Xuan's face turned cold. "You also know how to bully others? Lin Chen's only relative just passed away, and you spread rumors in the village. You don't bully others! Do you think his family is easy to bully?"

The woman's face turned red with anger because of what Qi Xuan said. She muttered softly, "I was just talking casually. It's not that serious."

"You said it casually? Then I will say it casually too? Tomorrow I will ask Qi Dazhuang's wife if she has any sisters, and find one for your man so that he can enjoy the happiness!"

The woman wanted to throw a tantrum, but was dragged away by another person. The people around were also shocked by Qi Xuan's shocking remarks. They didn't expect this young man to be so bold.

He looked at the people around him, his face still cold, "Fellow villagers, we have never done anything to let down the village or everyone. My husband can make money, but the mountain is there, anyone who wants to go can go, and don't blame others if they get into danger. You envy him for making money, but why don't you see how dangerous he can be!"

Qi Xuan had said too much and was a little out of breath. "As for Lin Chen, Grandma Lin took good care of me and my husband when she was alive. There's nothing wrong with us taking care of her only grandson on her behalf. Let me also tell you all that Lin Chen is my younger brother, and he has the same household registration as me. If you have any rumors in the future, don't blame me." After saying that, she turned around and went into the house without caring about the expressions on everyone's faces.
