Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord
Chapter 530 - Chapter 530 Chapter 530 Well-behaved

Chapter 530: Chapter 530: Well-behaved Chapter 530: Chapter 530: Well-behaved “You say that, and it’s true, Xuexue used to be such a well-behaved girl, speaking so softly she hardly dared raise her voice. Now look at her, running around doing business by herself, and she even dares to hit people,” the group suddenly realized.

“Exactly, and she cruelly bit Auntie Sun’s ear right off, so vicious!” Madam Ruan added more fuel to the fire.

“Right, right!” everyone nodded in agreement. The things that they had not taken seriously before were now being blown out of proportion.

“Didn’t Madam Xie say that she was delirious with fever, that it wasn’t intentional? When someone has a high fever and doesn’t know what they’re doing, it’s somewhat excusable,” someone offered understandingly.

“Giggle, giggle, giggle…!” Madam Ruan’s laughter made her folds of fat shake: “You believe that? How naive! Don’t forget who Madam Xie is. She’s Xuexue’s mother; of course, she’s going to cover for her daughter.”

At these words, the people nodded again: “Who would have thought that’s the reality of it.”

“That is the reality,” Madam Ruan affirmed with a nod: “Think about it, I’m Xuexue’s aunt. Would I spread rumors if they weren’t true?”

Before long, she added, “All these strange incidents happening in our village lately, who’s to say they’re not because of her?”

“Oh my! If you see that girl Xuexue, you better stay as far away as possible. Don’t let her bad luck rub off on you.”

Before long, the entire Mo Family Village was buzzing with rumors that Xuexue was an ominous person, known as a jinx. She was bringing misfortune to the village, and even Big Bull didn’t want her anymore. He surely must have realized her bad luck and that’s why he snuck away in the middle of the night.

As the instigator of the rumors, Madam Ruan, seeing that the villagers all believed her, strutted home triumphantly, thinking, these lowly women have come into some money and still don’t look after the Mo family. I won’t let them get away with it, hmph!

By the time Xuexue had finished loading the watermelons and sent Shopkeeper Fan on his way home, the news had already spread throughout the Mo Family Village.

Xie Residence

As Xuexue stepped into the courtyard, she heard Madam Xie’s sobs coming from the main hall.

Xuexue put down what she was carrying and hurried to the main hall in a few strides.

There she saw Auntie Li comforting Madam Xie by her side.

Auntie Li was the woman who had told Xuexue by the riverbank this morning that Madam Xie had been bullied by Lady Li.

“Mother, why are you crying?” Xuexue rushed over to her and asked anxiously.

Madam Xie kept her head down, weeping, and said nothing.

In the end, Auntie Li couldn’t hold back and told the whole story.

Madam Ruan was spreading rumors, and as it happened, she was also there listening. However, since she was not the person involved, it was not her place to offend Madam Ruan to her face.

Who could have expected the rumors to spread like wildfire? In a blink of an eye, the entire village was abuzz.

Madam Xie, hearing this outside, was even more upset and cried.

It was kind Auntie Li who had then brought her back, and now she was comforting her!

Xuexue’s eyes blazed with anger; she thought to herself, how dare you, Madam Ruan. I haven’t provoked you, yet you bring trouble to my doorstep, hoping to reap benefits from my family? With that kind of attitude, don’t even dream of it.

Auntie Li had just finished speaking.

Madam Xie raised her head, her nose and eyes red from crying, her tone was worried and nasal, “Xuexue, don’t go making trouble with the Mo family. Times have changed; without Big Bull at our house, they will surely have no fear of us. You, a young girl, are too weak to deal with them, and it will certainly lead to disadvantage.”

Upon hearing this, Auntie Li’s face showed a residual fear. She remembered how that morning Xuexue had dragged Lady Li toward the river with such gusto – so valiant and bold, nothing like a frail woman. More like ten times stronger than a sturdy man; at any rate, she knew she herself could not drag Lady Li with all her corpulence.
