Juying was beside herself with anger, but she felt completely drained of energy. Lu Xiangxiang's eyes were also very red. Unbeknownst to her, overnight the entire village was abuzz with gossip about her and Lai Zi. The rumors were detailed and vivid, making it sound as if they were true.
When she went out to fetch water and wash clothes in the morning, several elderly people looked at her strangely. Especially Dezi, who ran straight towards her calling out "mom," followed by Lai Zi who came over, giving her a strangely cheerful smile and saying that Dezi was just missing his mother and mistook her for someone else.
Even though Dezi was not well-behaved, he was still just a kid. Yu Xueli always claimed she did not have such a son, but he was still flesh and blood, and Lu Xiangxiang knew she still thought of him from time to time.
So after a few words, she just carried her basin and left, not realizing that this scene had been completely misinterpreted by onlookers.
