Ms. Liu was in the crowd, and she said loudly, "So it's obvious that there is no such thing. These two people are finally full and are just spreading rumors to smear black people!"

The villagers started talking one after another.

"That's right. With so many people together all the time, no one has ever done anything out of the ordinary."

"That's right, just grabbing a bite to eat every day makes me exhausted. How can I feel like that!"

Mrs. Liu looked around and continued, "Everyone followed Mr. Li to get water. Mr. Li made it clear on the way that my sixth aunt found the spring water with great difficulty."

"But Aunt Six didn't hide anything. She told everyone the location of the spring as soon as she came back. Mr. Li also worked hard and took us there personally. You all have personal experience of how difficult it is to find that road."

"Even if you don't say you should repay your kindness as a human being, you should at least have a conscience!"

The words were generous and righteous, and everyone nodded in agreement.

An old man said, "The so-called kindness of a drop of water is repaid by a spring. Orion's wife saved all of us when we had no water to drink. This is a great merit!"

There were also some people who had spread gossip about Jiang Xiaohua and Li Yuanzhi, all of them lowered their heads, their eyes hidden, for fear of being recognized.

Seeing that there was no one around to support her, Sister-in-law Zhang just ignored her and shouted, "I am not the only one who said these things. If you have the ability, ask them how many people did not spread your gossip today!"

Sister-in-law Zhang found that she could not explain herself clearly, so she wanted to involve more people. If she was not happy, she would drag everyone into the water!

Those who had spread gossip and laughed at Jiang Xiaohua behind her back were even more panicked.

They were afraid that Jiang Xiaohua would find out, and even more afraid of Jiang Xiaohua's revenge. After all, Mrs. Xu's arm hadn't been attached yet!

Jiang Xiaohua stopped Mrs. Zhang, "That's enough! I don't care about anything else. I only know that the rumors started from the two of you. If you know your mistakes and don't correct them, but still bite others, don't blame me for being rude."

Sister-in-law Zhang had a look of fear on her face and asked in a trembling voice, "Everything has been said, what do you still want?"

Jiang Xiaohua smiled and said, "This is easy. As long as you admit in front of everyone that those words are all nonsense from you with red lips and white teeth, and then salute and apologize to me."

The four little beans rushed to echo, "Apologise! Yes! You must apologize!"

Sister-in-law Zhang was anxious, "Isn't it just a matter of small talk? Who in the village doesn't have a few small talk? What's the big deal? Someone has to apologize to you!"

Jiang Xiaohua clenched her fists and said in a regretful tone, "If you can't write well, you can only use your fists."

She looked back at the burning fire and said, "Hurry up, we still have to make lunch!"

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Xiaohua punched out and rushed straight towards Sister Zhang's door.

Mrs. Zhang was so frightened that she closed her eyes and shouted, "I apologize! I was wrong! I confess to you!"

Jiang Xiaohua's fist stopped in front of Mrs. Zhang, "How great would it be to be so brave enough to admit your mistakes earlier?"

Mrs. Zhang slowly opened her eyes, her face turned pale.

Witnessed by everyone, this farce finally came to an end when Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Xu clarified the rumors in public, and bowed and apologized to the victim Jiang Xiaohua.

Jiang Xiaohua naturally kept her word. She grabbed Xu's dislocated arm, shook it from side to side, and pushed it upward.

Mrs. Xu howled again in pain, but fortunately her arm finally returned to her shoulder and she could move.

Jiang Xiaohua only dealt with Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Zhang, and exposed the matter without mentioning the other participants.

Those people were not only grateful to Jiang Xiaohua, but also respected her.

Everyone dispersed, but Mrs. Liu was still standing, as if she had something to say.

Jiang Xiaohua asked, "What's wrong?"

Mrs. Liu said, "Grandpa was a little unmotivated this morning and was still coughing. I heard Aunt Zhou say that Aunt Six has medicinal materials here. I..."

Jiang Xiaohua understood and said with a smile, "It's rare for you to be filial. I'll get you some medicine first. Anyone in the family who has a cold can drink it first. I'll go see the second uncle in the afternoon."

Mrs. Liu originally tried her luck to ask for some medicine, but Jiang Xiaohua unexpectedly proposed to visit Uncle Liu.

She couldn't help being overjoyed and thanked her repeatedly, "Auntie is such a kind-hearted person. Your grandparents will be extremely happy when they see you!"

Jiang Xiaohua told Mrs. Liu how to make the decoction and the amount. Mrs. Liu took the medicine and left after writing it down.

Lunch is stir-fried acorn jelly with lard. The jelly is filled with fragrant ingredients and is smooth and delicious.

Jiang Xiaohua thought that Aunt Zhou would take care of Uncle Heiwa and might not have time to cook, so she asked Liu Yong to bring two bowls to him.

Be careful when eating fried jelly. Even if the jelly is warm on the outside, it may still be hot on the inside. It will burn all the way down your throat, and it will take a long time to get over the discomfort.

Li Yuanzhi was sweating from the tip of his nose after eating, and said, "This is my first time eating this food. It's delicious! My whole body warmed up after eating it."

Needless to say, the reaction of the four little ones was that they were all immersed in eating and no one spoke at all.

Jiang Xiaohua said with a smile, "Although the jelly is delicious, it is not filling. I will make it early for dinner."

In the afternoon, Aunt Zhou sent back the washed empty bowls.

She praised the delicious fried jelly and even gave her some wild fruits she picked as a thank you gift.

A pile of August melons, large and small, all freshly cracked.

Aunt Zhou said, "I've tasted it and it's very sweet. Let's give it to the kids as snacks."

Jiang Xiaohua accepted it with a smile and asked how Uncle Heiwa was doing.

Aunt Zhou looked happy and said, "Speaking of this, I want to thank you again!"

"In the morning, I gave your uncle two large bowls of hot drink as you asked, and wrapped him in a blanket and slept."

"When he got up, he didn't feel cold and he didn't sneeze anymore!"

Jiang Xiaohua was relieved and said, "That's good, drink two more soups, eat something light, and get more rest."

Aunt Zhou agreed, "Don't worry, we will all listen to you!"

After seeing Aunt Zhou off, Jiang Xiaohua was ready to visit Uncle Liu Er.

The four little ones are eating August melons, which have many seeds.

They squatted in a row, puffed out their cheeks, and spat seeds in front of them.

Compete to see who can vomit faster and further.

Jiang Xiaohua looked at the four of them, thinking of the pea shooter in the game, and couldn't help but smile.

"I'm going to visit relatives, who of you wants to go?"

Xiao Miaomiao raised her head, spat out the seeds with her mouth open, and asked vaguely, "Who are you relatives?"

Jiang Xiaohua said, "Uncle Liu, you call him Second Grandpa."

Liu Guang said, "I won't go, I'm not familiar with them."

In the end, Liu Yong and Liu Ming didn't go either. Only Xiao Miaomiao took Jiang Xiaohua's hand and went together.

You can never visit your elders empty-handed.

Jiang Xiaohua took a piece of unfried jelly and a few August melons and took them with her.

The second uncle's family lives a little further away.

Jiang Xiaohua walked through many houses and asked several times before she found it.

Mrs. Liu saw Jiang Xiaohua from a distance and excitedly called to the whole family, "Quick! Isn't that my sixth aunt? I told her she must come!"
