Chapter 264: Making a Move

Translator: Lonelytree

Soon, everyone knew that the grandson of the Gong Family was pursuing Xiao Lingyu. They had already hugged each other in public!

Those who were working at the strawberry field saw it clearly.

When Gong Tianhao returned home, his grandfather looked him up and down. This made Gong Tianhao’s hair stand on end. He asked, “Grandfather, what are you looking at?”

Old Master Gong laughed happily and said, “You’re really something! It has only been a few days, but you’ve already taken such big strides with your wife!”

Gong Tianhao, “…”

Old Master Gong laughed and continued, “A few more times, and this will be settled, yes?”

Gong Tianhao, “…”

‘It will probably be going to take more than that. The two close contacts so far are accidental.’

…

At the Xiao Family, Mother Xiao was conducting her own interrogation, “Yu ‘Er, how do you really feel about Gong Tianhao?”

Xiao Lingyu’s face turned red as she replied, “Mom, what do you mean? Mom, I don’t have any feelings for him at all.”

Mother Xiao said with a serious expression, “You two were hugging in public, and you have no feelings for him? Yu ‘Er, hear me out. It’s not easy to find a man who doesn’t mind your condition. If you like him, you shouldn’t give up.”

Xiao Lingyu nodded. “Mom, I get it.” But in her heart, she was thinking, ‘Of course, he doesn’t mind it. The child is his.’ But she couldn’t tell her mother that she was afraid that Gong Tianhao was doing all this to snatch her child away.

No matter what Gong Tianhao did, she wanted to wait and see. She could not panic.

“However, Yu ‘Er, don’t rush into it either. Relationships need to go slow and steady.” Mother Xiao could not help but nag, “It doesn’t matter how rich or powerful he is. The most important thing is he has to have a good character.”

Xiao Lingyu nodded nonchalantly. “Oh, I understand.” She didn’t want to hear the nagging anymore, so she said, “Mom, I’m tired and want to rest for a while.”

“…” Mother Xiao sighed and said, “Alright, I’ll leave you to rest. You have to think this through!”

After Mother Xiao left, Xiao Lingyu lay on the bed with her eyes wide open. She could not fall asleep no matter how hard she tried. After a while, she seemed to have thought of something. Her face was burning, and she felt a little hot.

Xiao Lingyu patted her cheek and said, “Xiao Lingyu, you mustn’t think of that man anymore! You can’t let your guard down! You mustn’t be fooled! What if he’s really here to snatch Xiao Tong away?” Xiao Lingyu was thinking about the two times she was embraced in Gong Tianhao’s arms.

She felt Gong Tianhao’s broad and thick chest. There was a sense of security and warmth.

However, she had to control herself. She could not be fooled. What if this was a trap?

…

Outside, because of the hug between Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu, it became the village headlines.

“Tsk tsk. Such shamelessness. They are hugging in broad daylight.” When Zhang Chunjiao received this news, she was overjoyed, “This Xiao Lingyu is really a slut. She has charmed one man after another.”

However, the villagers subconsciously avoided Zhang Chunjiao. Even though they had their opinion regarding the public show of affection, they were not going to talk to Zhang Chunjiao about it.

Zhang Chunjiao had a foul mouth and a bad heart. She would easily turn their words to offend the Xiao Family.

Zhang Xiaolan was arrested, and Liu Changnu was sternly ordered by her family not to go near Zhang Chunjiao anymore. They were afraid that she’d be brainwashed by Zhang Chunjiao and become the next Zhang Xiaolan.

Liu Changnu’s family knew that Zhang Chunjiao wasn’t on good terms with Xiao Zhengyang’s family. Zhang Chunjiao wished that the whole village would be on bad terms with the Xiao Family.

Previously, Liu Changnu’s family had already heeded Zhang Chunjiao’s advice not to rent the land to Xiao Lingyu. Zhang Chunjiao said they would plant their own strawberries. However, they couldn’t find any strawberry seedlings. Xiao Lingyu wouldn’t share them either.

In the end, they left the plot of land as it was, a wasteland.

Any family that was on good terms with Zhang Chunjiao would find it very difficult to benefit from Xiao Zhengyang. For example, if Xiao Zhengyang had to hire people to work at his farm, he would always miss out on these few families.

Zhang Xiaolan’s family and Liu Changmei’s family had nothing to say. What else could they do? They were the ones who offended Xiao Zhengyang first.

Zhang Xiaolan’s arrest was a huge wake-up call for Liu Changnu’s family.

Liu Changnu’s mother-in-law directly released the warning. If they saw Liu Changnu around Zhang Chunjiao again, they would kick her back to her maiden house. After all, that woman would only bring tragedy to them.

Liu Changnu was frightened by this and immediately became obedient. She did not dare to find Zhang Chunjiao again.

Zhang Chunjiao became a plague in the village. Everyone hid from her. Zhang Chunjiao had no one to nag but her family. However, Xiao Fuqi was also like Xiao Chengcai, a quiet person.

Zhang Chunjiao felt very bored talking to him.

Other than him, there was only a teenage son left in the family. Her two daughters were already married. Zhang Chunjiao didn’t have a good relationship with her in-laws either.

Zhang Chunjiao was ostracized. This was perfect gossip, but she had no one to gossip with. She felt so itchy. Since Taoyuan Village people didn’t want to talk to her, she would find people from other villages.

It was a market-fair day.

She bumped into someone from the Liu Family Village.

“Tsk, tsk. You didn’t see it in person. The man and the woman were hugging each other in front of so many people. They were fondling each other breasts and waists. It’s too ridiculous. We are so embarrassed for them!” Zhang Chunjiao said with relish. However, her expression was unusually excited. “The two have no shame. They’re not embarrassed at all.”

“Zhang Chunjiao, the strawberries planted at your village are sold at a high price. They’re grown by someone from a famous university. Is her name Xiao Lingyu?” Xiao Lingyu was famous throughout Xing An Town already.

“Yes, that’s the one. You didn’t know this, but she worked in the big city for a few years. But she had to run back home because she was knocked up by some unknown man! She couldn’t stay in the big city anymore!”

“Ah?”

The non-villagers hadn’t heard about this gossip before, so they were highly interested.

“So the child is a bastard?”

“Of course! However, even with a bastard child, she is all dressed up like a butterfly, going around to seduce men. She really doesn’t have any scruples. How embarrassing…” At that moment, someone tapped her shoulder. Zhang Chunjiao was in the groove. She turned around and said, “Who is it? Can’t you see that I’m…”

When she saw the man standing behind her, her expression changed. Then, she smiled. “It’s you.”

The people saw this and asked curiously, “Chunjiao, who is this man?”

Zhang Chunjiao smiled and said, “He’s a relative of my family. I have something else to do today. Let’s talk another day.”

“Okay!” The women from Liu Village looked at the man and then looked at Zhang Chunjiao with a strange expression.

‘A relative of your family? Who are you kidding? Would a relative look at you with such a salacious gaze?’

These women were old acquaintances of Zhang Chunjiao. They knew exactly what kind of person Zhang Chunjiao was.

Zhang Chunjiao ignored the gazes and walked beside the man.

When she walked with him, her eyes looked around. She was very attentive, but she was also bold.

Suddenly, the two of them were hit hard by someone. That man’s face was full of beard, and he immediately apologized, “Sorry, sorry. There was someone chasing after me, so I didn’t notice you.”

Zhang Chunjiao’s delicate nose wrinkled. She smelled a special pungent smell, but she didn’t pay much attention to it. She sneered, “Hurry up and get lost. We’re still in a hurry.”

“Okay, okay. Sorry, sorry. I’ll leave now!” The man scampered away.

After the man reached the empty corner, he took off the beard, revealing a familiar face.

Xiao Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead and snapped his fingers. He said happily, “Done!”

He looked at Zhang Chunjiao and her adulterer with disdain and sneered, “Let’s see how you’ll like your own medicine!”
