Chapter 1377: Chapter 1199: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

As soon as the conservatives had finished speaking, many villagers began to object, "With the Zhao Family’s temperament, it’s feared that persevering might cost them their lives, and still they endure these bitter days. Axiang seems like someone they didn’t nurture. If they had nurtured her, she might have come over and fought it out with us by now."

"..."

In the end, most people felt sympathy for Axiang.

It was evident that sympathy for the weak was always in the villagers’ nature.

...

When Lady returned home, it had already gotten dark, and Axiang was still inside, sewing sheets and such, her expression filled with worry.

Seeing Lady come back, Axiang asked him, "Was the play good? Do you remember what it was about?"

Lady had been reciting it all the way back, but when he got home, he had forgotten everything, only saying, "In the play, there was also a fool, just like me. Axian played it."

"Axian played a fool?" Axiang’s face relaxed a bit, and she even smiled, "That must have been hard on Axian, but how come you only remember there being a fool in the play? Who else was there? What did Dabao play?"

"Dabao played a... a Lady," Lady said, struggling to express himself.

Seeing this, Axiang also helplessly shook her head, "Never mind, I can’t get anything out of you. Are you hungry? There’s some porridge cooking in the pot; go eat some first."

"Has sister eaten yet?" Lady always considered Axiang’s needs.

"I ate already, and was about to go to sleep."

...

The next day.

Early in the morning, Axiang was startled by knocking sounds from outside; not just knocking sounds, it was quite noisy, seeming like there were quite a few people outside.

She didn’t know what had happened?

She hurried to the door and peeked through the gap, only to see several village women standing outside, like Aunt Zhang and Grandma Wang, all holding vegetables and fruits.

With trepidation, Axiang opened the door, about to ask them why they were here, but the women became very enthusiastic upon seeing her:

"Axiang, we all know about your situation. Ah, it really hasn’t been easy for you to get to where you are today. Here are some cucumbers I just picked from the field, take them and eat," said Aunt Zhang.

"Just the other day, I heard Aunt Zhao in the village scolding you, calling you a flirtatious woman, saying you couldn’t take a couple of harsh words and ran off to live with Lady. If it hadn’t been for Dabao staging that play, we might have believed her. In my opinion, she is the one who’s not decent; her own husband cheats, and she lets her son deceive you. If you don’t want to go back, just stay with Lady. Here are some cabbages I just picked; they should last you two or three days," said Grandma Wang.

"Ah, thinking about it, you are also pitiable, preferring to live with Lady rather than go back to your own mother. It shows you are a good lady of kind nature. Here are some water spinach I just picked; take it and eat..."

Axiang also pieced together the situation from what these women told her; apparently, the play the day before had been specially arranged by Xia Dabao for her.

Moved by this, she couldn’t help but worry about Xia Dabao.

By staging such a play, she had offended Aunt Zhao. Considering how close their two families lived, what if Aunt Zhao troubled her every day?

...

The Xia Family had already started eating breakfast.

Having staged a play the night before, Xia Dabao was so exhausted that he slept exceptionally well, completely unaware that Aunt Zhao had spent the night cursing by the fish pond.
