Chapter 38 Many Unspeakable Secrets
Zhao Laoda pulled Wang Daniu, who was watching from the crowd, out of the crowd.
Zhao Laoda said, "Wang Daniu, tell me, the day before yesterday, didn't my little brother go into the mountains with Xia Mo?!"
Wang Daniu glanced apologetically at Xia's father and the others, and nodded.
"Now, I ask you, why was Xia Mo able to return safely, but my little brother got into trouble?!" Boss Zhao clenched his fist and roared at Xia's father and the others with a voice like thunder.
Zhao Chunfa is ruined; his family will have to support him from now on. Why should only his family suffer?!
The onlookers exclaimed "Wow!" and began to whisper loudly.
"Wow, so Zhao Chunfa and Xia Mo are having an affair? Otherwise, why would these two go into the mountains together?!"
"Exactly! Otherwise, why would these two go into the mountains together?!"
"I don't think the Xia family's youngest daughter is any good either. If she were a good person, how could she be having an affair with a man before she's even engaged or married?"
"..."
The slander against Xia Mo came like a torrential downpour, pouring straight at the Xia family!
Xia's father and elder brother clenched their fists, their chests heaving violently, glaring at Zhao Laoda with bloodshot eyes and gritted teeth, as he listened to his gloating and exaggerated words.
Don't these people realize that what they're saying... could lead a young girl to utter ruin?!
No, they know!
They just want to see others embarrassed and make a fool of themselves!
"Wang Daniu!"
Xia's mother knew very well that it was Wang Daniu's testimony that made Zhao's mother and the others' words more convincing, so she glared at Wang Daniu.
"You saw my daughter and her son go into the mountains together?!" Xia's mother stared at Wang Daniu with a cold, angry look, as if she would pounce on him and devour him whole if he said the wrong thing.
Wang Daniu: "..."
Wang Daniu took a step back, startled by Xia's mother's fierce protective stance towards her chicks.
Wang Daniu hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands, saying, "I didn't say that the two of them went into the mountains together. What I saw was that shortly after Xia Mo entered the mountains, Zhao Chunfa followed behind him."
Upon hearing Wang Daniu's words, Xia's mother knew there was a chance for things to turn around.
Xia's mother glared angrily at Zhao Laoda and demanded sharply, "Is this what you meant by them going into the mountains together?!"
"The two of them agreed not to be seen by others, so they went into the mountains one after the other," Zhao Laoda said, now only wanting to cling to the Xia family, not caring that what he said was slanderous.
"So, you think you can just say whatever you want and call it all?" Brother Xia sneered repeatedly.
Brother Xia gripped the stick tightly in his hand, his knuckles white, veins bulging, his eyes red, staring intently at Boss Zhao.
This person is going to ruin his little sister! Even if it costs him his life, he'll drag this person down with him!

at the same time--
It emerged from the mountains at the end of summer.
Her divine sense had been focused on the situation of the Xia family. Seeing the angry looks on her parents' and brothers' faces, she felt distressed and her heart ached.
She only wanted to protect her family and couldn't bear to see them suffer.
Xia Mo said with a serious little face, "Third Brother, you take good care of the things and go back. I'm going to the village head's house!"
Seeing Xia Mo's sudden seriousness, Xia Sange's heart tightened, and he asked anxiously, "Little sister, what happened?"
“Go home first,” Xia Mo said again.
Xia Sange shook his head firmly: "No, if my parents knew I left you all alone, they would definitely scold me! If I, as the third brother, couldn't protect my little sister..." His eyes reddened as he finished speaking.
Xia Mo nodded with a smile in her eyes.
Anjia Village, the village head's house—
Gao Li was in the courtyard, looking in the direction of the Xia family's house, smoking welding fumes, pacing back and forth, hesitating and thinking about whether or not to get involved.
The appearance of Xia Mo surprised Gao Lizheng.
"When Uncle Gao heard the news, he didn't even rush over to see what was going on, or at least to calm things down. Did he want to hear that Anjia Village had a reputation for unchaste young women, which would then tarnish the reputation of all the girls in the village?!"
Xia Mo's clear voice, each word distinct, though not loud, made Gao Lizheng feel as if his heart had been struck repeatedly, causing his body to tremble violently.
Gao Li stared intently at Xia Mo, watching as her red lips parted and she uttered calm words.
"Uncle Gao, do you want to hear that the village has a bad atmosphere? In Anjia Village, a young man is secretly following a girl from the same village, intending to force her to marry him?"
"At that time, will girls from other villages still dare to marry into Anjia Village? Won't they worry that their girls will be harmed after marrying into Anjia Village?"
"Would young men from other villages dare to marry girls from Anjia Village? They would think, 'Maybe... that girl has already been defiled by someone from their own village. What would be the point of marrying her? Would it be beneath them?'"
Xia Mo's lips parted slightly, a forced smile playing on her lips, as she calmly stated the facts.
Gao Lizheng, the village chief of Jian'an Village, was shocked and terrified by what he heard.
No way! As the village chief and head of Anjia Village, Head Gao absolutely cannot allow such a thing to happen in Anjia Village!
"With this attitude, you're here to ask for help?!" Gao Lizheng thought about how he had been frightened by a little girl, and he became somewhat embarrassed and angry.
Xia Mo shook her head, then resumed her sweet smile. She said with a grin, "No, if you don't clean it up, then I'll have to handle it my own way. I suppose that's something Uncle Gao wouldn't want to see, right?"
Gao Li suddenly looked up and stared at Xia Mo.
What could Xia Mo mean by "handling it her own way"?
Gao Lizheng couldn't guess the "method" Xia Mo mentioned, but his heart trembled for no reason, and subconsciously, he didn't want to see the "method" Xia Mo mentioned.
Gao Li was holding his pipe, and he called his eldest son to come with him to the Xia family's house.
Xia Sange stood nervously behind Xia Mo and whispered, "Little sister, why did you say those things just now? Is someone trying to harm you?!"
Summer's end hovered neither too close nor too far behind Gao Lizheng and Gao Laoda.
"Third Brother, please don't be angry with me, okay?"
Xia said softly at the end of summer.
Xia Sange nodded and said, "It depends on the situation."
Xia Mo knew that Xia Sange would definitely be angry, so she also pouted unhappily and said, "Zhao Chunfa was found in the mountains and forests. Zhao's mother, Zhao Laoda, and Zhao Erjie came to our house to make trouble, slander me, and try to take the opportunity to sue our family."
When Xia Sange heard this, he immediately exploded.
"Are the Zhao family causing trouble in our house?!" Xia Sange wondered, "Why would Xia Mo, who was searching for honey with him in the mountains, know so much about this?" But after glancing at Xia Mo's profile, he decided not to press the matter.
My younger sister has become very capable after learning from a master, and she must have many secrets that she can't tell, so he won't ask.
Xia Mo nodded helplessly.
"Little sister, don't rush home, I'll go first!" Brother Xia grabbed the bamboo tube jar in his hand and rushed out like a gust of wind.
Late summer is both heartwarming and heartbreaking.
