Thinking of what Mother Qiao said earlier, the alarm in Father Qiao's mind was instantly sounded.

"What did that boy say to you?"

Qiao Xi opened her lips slightly, looking at Father Qiao's prepared posture, she forgot all the words that came to her lips.

Why did Father Qiao have such a big reaction?

She couldn't help but feel happy in her heart. Fortunately, she didn't tell her parents that the buns were also given to Qin Jiashu. Otherwise, her parents' reaction would have been even more exaggerated.

She waved her hand: "No, it has nothing to do with Qin Jiashu. I'm just curious. He's not a bad person, so why don't you all like him? Is it because his family is speculative and his father was arrested?"

"Of course not!" Father Qiao was so frightened that the cigarette dropped from his mouth: "Where did you hear this?"

The incident was a big deal at that time and people were panicked. Now everyone in the village avoids it and no one mentions it again.

Where did this girl know this?

Qiao Xi glanced at Qiao's father intentionally and continued: "If not, then why don't you want to see him? Dad, you are still the village chief. It is your duty to help the villagers. How can you take the lead in bullying a lonely young man?"

Being misunderstood by his daughter, Father Qiao's face suddenly turned red.

He hurriedly explained: "Dad has never bullied him. We don't like him because he...he...he doesn't get along with our family!"

Josie: "Ah? Dad, why do you have the same reason as Mom said!"

Father Qiao rolled up his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Because, this is the truth."

He heard these words from his mother Qiao before entering the house that day, so of course they were the same.

How could Qiao Xi believe such words? She retorted to Father Qiao seriously: "Dad, you are the village chief now. You cannot promote such feudal ideas. Otherwise, how can you lead the villagers towards a down-to-earth and beautiful life."

"Uh... this..." Father Qiao was speechless.

What my daughter said makes sense!

"Xixi, why are you still thinking about this? Didn't I tell you everything to stop focusing on him?"

Mother Qiao's voice suddenly sounded from behind the two of them.

Qiao Xi was startled. She originally planned to ask Qiao's father secretly, but unexpectedly, Qiao's mother overheard her.

Father Qiao, on the other hand, breathed a big sigh of relief. He couldn't bear to talk about his daughter, so he had to ask Mother Qiao to come.

Mother Qiao and Father Qiao exchanged a tacit look in the air, and Mother Qiao grabbed Qiao Xi's wrist.

She was worried that the old man wouldn't be able to stop her daughter from working, so she hurried back. Who knows, she actually heard her daughter talking about that brat again.

She was really pissed off!

"Let's go, don't disturb your dad's work, mom will talk to you over there."

Mother Qiao pulled Qiao Xi to the other end of the ground. Qiao Xi opened her hand and said helplessly: "Mom, don't be nervous. I don't mean anything else. I just asked casually."

"It's not appropriate to ask casually." Qiao said to Qiao Xi in a serious tone: "You are a girl, he is a boy of marriageable age, and you should avoid suspicion. If you pay attention to him like this, if others know

, what should I do if I spread gossip?"

Qiao Xi thought of the scarred Sirius and snorted: "Just pass it on, I'm not afraid of people passing it on."

"What? What did you say?" Mother Qiao's eyes widened and she almost turned away in anger.

She held her forehead with her hand, feeling like she was about to faint.

Oh my God!

Her good daughter is unfilial!

Qiao Xi supported Qiao's mother and quickly changed her words: "Mom, don't get angry. I didn't mean that. What I meant is that we can't control what others say. We just want to have a clear conscience."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Mother Qiao calmed down after hearing that her daughter was not interested in Qin Jiashu: "You are still young and have no idea how terrible rumors are. Sometimes, they can even destroy a person!"

Qiao Xi hummed softly, thoughtfully.

After Mother Qiao's anger subsided, her thinking became clear again. If she acted too harshly towards Qin Jiashu, her kind daughter would feel pity for Qin Jiashu even more.

So, just do it the other way around.

She patted Qiao Xi's hand and coaxed: "It's impossible for your father and I to bully Qin Jiashu, a junior. Don't worry."

"Then you don't want to see him..." Qiao Xi lowered his eyes, feeling heartbroken when he thought of Sirius's injuries: "People in the village are very judgmental. Even if you are the village chief, you don't want to see him, and other people must be even less interested in him.

good……"

Therefore, those people dare to bully Sirius without restraint.

Mother Qiao felt like she was going to have a heart attack again. No matter what she said, her daughter was still worried about that brat.

This is not a good thing!

but……

There is some truth in what my daughter said.

Mother Qiao thought for a while, clenched her hands into fists, and seemed to have made up her mind: "Okay, your dad and I will tell the village chief of Wajia Village about this and let him pay attention to it. Our elders know what's appropriate. You are the only one."

Just leave the girl’s house alone.”

Seeing that Mother Qiao was really upset, Qiao Xi knew that she had to give up when she was satisfied, so she immediately changed her smile, raised her hands and started to beat Mother Qiao's shoulders.

"My mother is the most kind-hearted, and she will never tolerate unfair things happening. Oh, thank you for your hard work, my great mother."

Mother Qiao was so flattered that she raised her head proudly: "Of course."

When Qiao Zhu and Aunt Qiao came back from delivering the things, they saw Qiao Xi beating her shoulders on Mother Qiao's shoulders. Aunt Qiao's eyes were filled with envy again.

"Why is Xixi so considerate!"

Mother Qiao's chin was almost raised to the sky: "This girl, I said no, she insisted on beating me, I really don't know what to say about her!"

Aunt Qiao: "Xixi is also very filial, so just bear with it. They say that daughters are parents' little cotton-padded jackets. I see, this is specifically about Xixi!"

Mother Qiao liked hearing people praise Qiao Xi the most, so she immediately called Aunt Qiao to eat steamed buns: "Come on, I specially saved it for you, so you can try this girl's cooking."

Although Aunt Qiao was still alive in the fields, she couldn't resist Mother Qiao's kindness. The two of them walked over talking and laughing.

Qiao Xi and Qiao Zhu stood there. When the two adults walked away, Qiao Zhu said something to Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi looked over: "Why, you see I'm being praised, are you not convinced?"

Of course Qiao Zhu was not convinced, but she was not stupid enough to say it to her face, so she just said coldly: "My cousin is so popular, how dare I not be convinced? I have to learn from my cousin."

"Yeah, it's better if I don't have it." The corners of Qiao Xi's mouth curled up, pretending not to hear the sarcasm in Qiao Zhu's words, and deliberately said: "I have many advantages, you probably have to study for a long time, work harder, and study hard

.”

Qiao Zhu: "..."

Under the halo effect of Mother Qiao, many people had gathered on the opposite side. Qiao Xi looked over and saw that Yu Qingqing and Chen Chunyan were also coming.

She squinted her eyes, and a little girl of thirteen or fourteen ran over and raised the melon in her hand high.

"Sister Qiao Xi, my mother asked me to give this to you."
