Just as Li Xiaoxiao was happily enjoying herself, someone suddenly approached from ahead.
That slender waist swayed side to side—
it was none other than Wang Guixiang.
“Hello, Auntie Qin! Oh my, is this little Xiaozhi?”
“Aiyo, what a beautiful child! Come, let auntie hold her!”
As she spoke, she familiarly reached out to take the baby, acting as though she had completely forgotten the slap Li Xiaoxiao had given her a few days earlier—along with the scolding.
“In broad daylight, don’t call me your auntie. This old lady can’t bear the title!”
“Get the hell away from me!”
Li Xiaoxiao had certainly not forgotten that this little widow had her eyes on her cheap third son, Qin Sanmu.
Holding her granddaughter tightly, she turned to leave.
“Auntie Qin, do you have some misunderstanding about me?”
“Why are you treating me like this?”
As Wang Guixiang spoke, she pulled out a handkerchief and dabbed at the nonexistent tears in the corners of her eyes.
Li Xiaoxiao nearly laughed from anger.
This little vixen really had thick skin.
She turned around slowly, narrowed her eyes, and looked Wang Guixiang up and down from head to toe.
“You ask me why?”
“Then let me ask you something first.”
“A proper young widow—why are you wandering around other people’s fields instead of staying home?”
“Why are you constantly circling around married men?”
“You think because you cry a couple tears and twist your waist a few times men will lose their souls for you?”
Wang Guixiang’s expression stiffened slightly.
“Auntie Qin, I really didn’t mean anything…”
“Didn’t mean anything?”
Li Xiaoxiao sneered.
“You call a married man ‘哥哥’ this and ‘哥哥’ that, bringing him food, asking him to carry water, blocking his path every other day…”
“And now you’re trying to hold his daughter?”
“You think everyone’s blind?”
Wang Guixiang bit her lip hard, her eyes instantly reddening.
“Auntie Qin… I just think Third Brother Qin is a good man…”
“There’s nothing wrong with admiring someone, right?”
Li Xiaoxiao’s eyelid twitched.
Good heavens.
This little white lotus was openly confessing now.
Before Li Xiaoxiao could speak again, Qin Sanmu—who had been hoeing nearby—heard the commotion and hurried over.
“Mother… Guixiang-mei—”
Before he could finish saying “Guixiang-meimei,” Li Xiaoxiao kicked him directly in the shin.
“Ow!”
Qin Sanmu instantly bent over clutching his leg.
“You dare call her little sister again?”
“You want your wife to twist off your ears tonight?”
Qin Sanmu immediately shut his mouth.
Wang Guixiang looked at Qin Sanmu with tearful eyes.
“Third Brother Qin… I really didn’t mean to cause trouble…”
Li Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes so hard she almost saw heaven.
Look at that.
Every sentence sounded like she was innocent and pitiful.
Anyone who didn’t know better would think Li Xiaoxiao was bullying her.
Unfortunately for Wang Guixiang—
Li Xiaoxiao had never been someone who cared about appearances.
“Listen carefully, Wang Guixiang.”
“You’re free to remarry if you want. No one’s stopping you.”
“But if you dare keep circling around my son, don’t blame me for tearing your face apart.”
“Do you understand?”
Wang Guixiang’s face turned pale.
Just then, Qin Xiaozhi in Li Xiaoxiao’s arms suddenly waved the little wildflower she’d been holding and smacked it right onto Wang Guixiang’s face.
Pah.
A tiny flower petal stuck to Wang Guixiang’s forehead.
For a moment, everyone froze.
Then Qin Xiaozhi clapped her little hands and giggled happily.
“Ah-ba! Ah-ba!”
Li Xiaoxiao burst into loud laughter on the spot.
“Hahaha!”
“Good girl! That’s grandma’s precious granddaughter!”
“She’s got good aim!”
Even the daughters-in-law working nearby couldn’t hold back their laughter anymore.
Wang Guixiang’s face alternated between red and white.
Seeing everyone laughing at her, tears finally started flowing for real this time.
Covering her face, she turned and ran away crying.
Qin Sanmu subconsciously took half a step forward as if wanting to chase after her—
only to immediately sense a murderous gaze behind him.
His whole body stiffened.
He slowly turned his head.
Sure enough—
his mother was staring at him coldly.
Li Xiaoxiao smiled pleasantly.
“Go on.”
“Why’d you stop?”
“If you chase after her today, don’t bother coming home tonight.”
“I’ll have your wife lock you outside with the dogs.”
