After the system ran, I took off with my family

"Forget it. I can't explain it to you."

Wang Youzhi sighed, bent down, pulled a stool and went to the yard to enjoy the cool air.

"Hmph." Liu Meihua raised her chin and looked at her old man's helpless expression with smugness. Then she glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law who had remained silent.

"Are you mute? Why didn't you tell me when you saw your father-in-law coming in? What are you thinking? Do you want your father-in-law to scold me?"

"Mom, I didn't..." Zhao Xiaolan was helpless about her mother-in-law's unreasonable demands, and her hands moved much faster.

Liu Meihua rolled her eyes and pouted, "Humph, why are you pretending to be so high and mighty? Don't think I don't know what you've been saying about me behind my back, you ungrateful bastard."

Zhao Xiaolan put away the straw sandals in her hand and tidied up the things on the table neatly, ignoring her mother-in-law's bad words. After being a daughter-in-law for ten years, she had become accustomed to her mother-in-law's occasional bad words.

"Mom, I'm done packing. I'm going back to the house first. You should also go to bed early."

"Hey! You..."

Liu Meihua looked at her eldest daughter-in-law in exasperation as she walked out of the main room at a rapid pace, and she couldn't stop her.

At the Lin Residence, Lin Shuyue frowned after listening to the report from housekeeper Lin. She looked at Qingyuan, who was looking down and a little nervous, and asked, "Did Yunniang really take the initiative to talk to my father that day?"

"Yes, young lady, that day the master took his fishing rod to the lotus pond to fish. As soon as he sat down in the pavilion, Yun Niang came with a basket of mushrooms.

I don’t know what happened to her, but she walked directly outside the pavilion and knelt on the ground. The master was stunned for a moment, thinking that she had something serious to do, so he asked me to call her into the pavilion. After asking, I found out that she just wanted to express her gratitude to the master.

Qingyuan frowned, and then said seriously: "Miss, I swear, the master only asked her what she wanted from beginning to end, and after she finished speaking, the master told Yunniang on the spot that if she wanted to thank someone, she should go to thank the lady, and then left the pavilion.

But he was seen by someone, who even made up a story that the master was talking to Yunniang alone in the pavilion..."

Qing Yuan became more and more angry as he spoke. It was obvious that nothing had happened, but those people were just talking nonsense.

After hearing the whole story, Lin Shuyue was still a little confused. Based on her understanding of her mother, she wouldn't be so angry as to not return to the village. Besides, she didn't notice anything wrong with her parents in the county yesterday.

However, was Yunniang's behavior intentional or unintentional that day? Also, who was the first to make up and spread rumors?

"Qingyuan, go to the backyard and call my father over. Tell him that I'm waiting for him in the hall. If he doesn't come, I'll go directly to his room to find him." Lin Shuyue felt helpless when she thought of her father who didn't even come to the hall for dinner.

"Yes, Miss." Qingyuan responded and stepped back.

After an incense stick of time, Lin An dawdled to the flower hall. When he saw Lin Shuyue, he smiled ingratiatingly, "Little girl, why aren't you asleep yet so late?"

Seeing his father like this, Lin Shuyue held his forehead and sighed, "Dad, what are you and Mom planning? Is there anything you can't tell me?"

Lin An didn't expect his daughter to ask so directly. He was speechless for a moment, "No, I didn't plan anything..."

Lin Shuyue stared at Lin An, who was avoiding her gaze, with her clear eyes, without saying a word.

After half a cup of tea, Lin An was defeated and said helplessly: "Xiao Ya, there are some things that are not suitable for a little girl like you to know. If I tell you, will your mother be angry with me?"

"Isn't it just Yunniang's business? What is there to hide? Do you want me to know about this from other people's gossip?" Lin Shuyue rolled her eyes.

"You knew about this?" Lin An was a little surprised, but when he saw Qing Yuan lowering his head, he immediately understood.

"Dad, what are you and mom planning? Why doesn't mom go back to the village with you?" Lin Shuyue asked again, staring at him.

Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, Lin An had to tell the truth.

It turned out that after meeting Yunniang in the pavilion that day, Lin An did not take the matter to heart. He just mentioned it casually to Li. Li was very confident in her husband and did not think much about it.

The next day, Li was bored at home and wanted to go to Liu Cuiping's house in the village.

Unexpectedly, when passing by the stone bridge, she heard several women washing clothes under the bridge talking about their husbands.

Those women swore that someone in the village saw Lin An meeting Yunniang alone in the pavilion yesterday, and the two of them were flirting with each other in the pavilion for a long time.

When Li heard this, she was immediately furious. These people were talking nonsense. The child's father had told her about this yesterday. Qingyuan was clearly in the pavilion. It was not like what they said at all.

What was the intention of the person who made up lies and spread rumors with his eyes open? If she didn't know the inside story and heard these gossips, even if she believed the child's father, she would inevitably feel uneasy. Wouldn't that make their family restless?

Li did not step forward to question or explain. She knew that even if she stopped them now, people who did not know the truth would still follow the crowd and even spread the word more violently.

At this time, she no longer had the intention to go to Liu Cuiping's house. She returned home with anger suppressed and told Lin An about the gossip she had heard. Lin An was very angry after hearing it.

Afterwards, the couple thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure out who in the village they had offended.

Which rat in the gutter was staring at their house? You have to know that the Lin residence is quite far from the village, and there are no other houses near the Lin residence. The man could accurately say that Lin An and Yunniang were talking in the pavilion, which means that the man was squatting near the Lin residence.

At the same time, Lin An also felt that Yunniang’s sudden approach that day was abnormal. Did she do it on purpose?

However, the most urgent task is to find the rat who fabricated and maliciously spread rumors. Also, they have to find out those who spread the gossip one by one. Such ungrateful people do not deserve to enjoy the favor of the Lin family.

Li went to the village specifically to find Liu Cuiping, hoping that she could help keep an eye on the movements in the village.

Liu Cuiping was busy making tofu at home and didn't pay attention to the rumors outside. When she heard what Li said, she was very angry. She angrily scolded those gossipers and promised to keep an eye on them for her.

Yesterday in the county town, Li discussed with Lin An and asked Lin An to go back to the village first to create the illusion that the couple was not getting along. At the same time, she also planned to test Yunniang to see if she would come to her house if Li was not at home.

If she were to find excuses to get close to Lin An like she did last time at this critical moment, then Yunniang might really have other intentions.

Lin An also ordered the servants in his house to secretly keep an eye on the area around the Lin residence, trying to find out the rat that was targeting the Lin family.

"Xiao Ya, this is what happened. Don't be angry. We didn't mean to hide it from you. We just thought that such rumors would pollute your ears." Lin An was afraid that his daughter would be angry, so he explained seriously.

Lin Shuyue understood her parents' thoughts. After all, in this era, an unmarried girl really shouldn't listen to such gossip.

"Dad, I'm not angry. I understand your and Mom's good intentions. However, we are a family. No matter what happens, we can find a solution together."

Lin Shuyue looked at his father and said seriously and solemnly.
