that there was a mole among them."Ripples, don't use the fact that you have Lilith's bloodline to say things without evidence."Pat, the Marquess of Red Eyes, gazed upon the ripples."Marquess, forgive...The village head of Fuyuan Village was born in the year of the founding of the country, and he was given a name celebrating National Day. He was also doing relatively well among the Xing family.

In Fuyuan Village, one-third of the population bears the surname Xing. They all share a common ancestor, so they are all related in some way. However, Xing Guoqing, as the village head, is fair and just in his dealings. He usually rules with reason, so over the years, he has consistently held the position of village head in every election.

Xing Guocheng saw that the old man, Xing Laotou, from his own family had arrived. He knew immediately what was going on. He scratched his head a bit, because this was a private matter between their two families, but it also involved saving someone and the reputation of a young woman. He was troubled.

"Uncle Wu, you're here! Come in and sit down!"

Xing Guokeng raised a smile and greeted, "According to seniority, I should call you Fifth Uncle."

Xing Guoping is only in his thirties this year, and he looks young because he's the village Party secretary and spends less time working in the fields. His skin is a bit tanned though.

And Old Xing was already in his fifties, with deep wrinkles on his face. His hair was still thick, but mixed with some white hairs. His back was also slightly hunched, a clear sign of years of hard labor.

"National Day, I'm sorry to bother you so late."

Mr. Xing didn't take advantage of his seniority. Instead, he first said politely:

"No disturbance, I'm on winter break now and nothing much is going on. I'm just talking to the children's mother! Speaking of which, I was just telling her about how your little sister saved someone yesterday."

Since Xing Guoqing knew the intentions of Old Man Xing, he didn't deliberately avoid the topic and directly steered the conversation in that direction.

After hearing this, Old Man Xing let out a sigh and continued,

"Before I came over, YoMo had just woken up."

"Yo-mei, how is your body doing You should go to the county hospital for another checkup. Don't let any illness linger, especially with the cold river water this early winter."

Xing Guoqing asked with concern.

"I was also planning on doing that, but Yaomei said she's feeling weak and wants to wait until after tonight. If she's still not feeling well, I'll borrow a tractor from the village to take her to the county hospital."

"Okay, Uncle. Just let me know when you need to borrow it, and have someone tell me."

"National Day, you are my elder brother, both as a pillar of the family and to our younger sister. This situation handled by the Li family is simply not right. You have to speak up for me."

Mr. Xing lit his pipe, then said in a low voice:

"Uncle, are there any regulations in your family about this"

Xing Guoqing directly asked, if it's for him to come forward, there also has to be a clear direction.

"National Day, setting aside our two families' relationship, as an outsider, what do you think of Li Pozi's words"

My younger sister saved Gou Dan the dog, and her son saved my younger sister. Even if we call it even, is this how things are settled

If my little sister hadn't jumped into the river to save her son, would her son have had to save my daughter

Mr. Xing was very dissatisfied with this.

Xing Guoning also felt that Li Pozi's words were unreasonable and impolite, so he nodded and said:

"Fifth Uncle, you're right about this. Logically speaking, what Old Mrs. Li said is inappropriate."

"National Day, you're not an outsider. Let me be direct. Old Li made such a statement because she's afraid we'll use her life-saving grace to pressure the military into letting her son marry your youngest sister."

Xing Guoxing nodded, and anyone with eyes could see that the elderly couple of the Xing family wouldn't miss it.

"What Uncle meant is"

Xing Guoqing tentatively asked.

"Their Li family doesn't want to marry my daughter, and I wouldn't let my daughter go to be oppressed by that old woman from the Li family!"

After taking a drag from his cigarette, Old Xing said coldly.

Xing Guoqing was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then glanced at Old Man Xing again. To confirm, he opened his mouth and asked:

"Fifth Uncle, is this your meaning or Little Sister's"

"My sister and I are on the same page. Li Po feels like our family is above her, but I think her son isn't good enough for my daughter!"

Yao Mei is only eighteen years old, just like a flower. She's still in high school. Besides his stipend, what else does his son have There's a widowed mother at home, and two younger sisters and a brother below him. He'll be the one to suffer when times get tough.

Mr. Xing took a puff of his cigarette and said.

Xing Guokang twitched the corner of his mouth and didn't respond, just nodded in agreement. After all, in his heart, Li Xiangjun was a good marriage prospect. The young man had good personal qualities and promising prospects.

Only in the eyes of parents can their own children be seen as perfect. They can criticize their children, but they don't allow others to say anything bad about them.

"Cough, Fifth Uncle, since you don't want to be in-laws with the Li family, then why did you come to me"

"On National Day, we saved our youngest sister. Li Xiangjun got a cheap deal on her. I have to get some compensation for my daughter - some money for medical expenses and to help her recover, right"

Old Man Xing uttered the words he had prepared long ago.

Xing Guoqing nodded after hearing this. The request was reasonable, but how much was needed There had to be a number.

"Fifth Uncle, give me a specific number, and I'll go to Li Pozi and tell her."

"For the National Day, we are all honest people. I don't want to cheat their Li family. But what if they go out and spread rumors later Then my youngest sister's reputation will be ruined."

I was thinking of having Li Pozi take Li Xiangjun to the county hospital with our family tomorrow at noon for a check-up. They would be responsible for the medical expenses, and as for the nutritional expenses, Li Xiangjun should take care of them.

After taking another drag of his cigarette, Lao Xing turned to Xing Guoqing.

Xing Guoce nodded, feeling that this was feasible and reasonable. Li Pozi wouldn't have an excuse to refuse, so she readily agreed:

"Fifth Uncle is straightforward and reliable. I trust him. Tomorrow, I'll go to Li's house and explain everything clearly."

Then, I'll have to ask Guoqing to make a trip.

"Fifth Uncle, please don't be polite with me."

Xing Guoqing smiled and said, after a moment's hesitation, he still asked the question that had been on his mind:

"Uncle Wu, speaking logically, after such a thing has happened, the reputation of my youngest sister has been damaged. It would be best to let Li Xiangjun take responsibility."

"We want to, but listen to what Old Mrs. Li said, she obviously doesn't look down on my youngest sister, and she's still thinking of getting her eldest son to marry someone better!"

Old Xing scoffed and said, given his family's circumstances, they could only be considered a decent match in the village because Li Xiangjun supported them. Outside of the village, no one would look favorably upon their situation. They truly believed they were something special.

"Does he have a girlfriend"

Xing Guoqing pondered for a moment then changed his mind. Technically, living in the same village, Li Pozi shouldn't have spoken so harshly. Now that he thought about it, she said it this way to distance her son and youngest daughter.

"Um!"

Lao Xing nodded, then lowered his voice and told Xing Guoqing the contents of Lianri's eavesdropping and their analysis.

Xing Guoqing frowned after hearing this. He thought that if he were in Li Pozi's position, he would definitely want his son to marry a capable wife who could help him in the future. However, from Xing family's perspective, what Li family did was not quite right.

"For National Day, there's been an incident where someone from the Li family needs to be rescued. Even if they weren't embarrassed, they wouldn't release this news right now. Just pretend you don't know anything. But you can casually hint at it to appease the Li family and make Li Xiangjun compensate more for his sister."

"Uncle Five, please rest assured, I will definitely handle this well and won't let my youngest sister be treated unfairly."t missions to attend to, so she left the sect at the fastest speed possible. However, she was still being followed. The one who robbed her was a Golden Core cultivator, so she remained oblivious."So a...
