Chapter 16
When Aunt Wang saw that someone was finally willing to gossip with her, her eyes narrowed with laughter.

"I didn't know it at first, but later I heard some news that others didn't know because our family was called by the village head for questioning. I heard that there was a fire at Wang Shun's house yesterday. The flames burned them The thatched hut was completely burned down, and it is said that Wang Shun and Osmanthus fragrans, who were resting inside, were burned to death on the spot.”

"what?!"

Aunt Wang gave Aunt Zhang a hard look, and complained that she made such a fuss, "The most surprising thing is not this. I heard from our family that the village chief suspected that the fire was set by a child picked up by their family, otherwise how could it be The whole house was found, only Wang Shun and Osmanthus fragrans, but there was no sign of the little bastard. I heard that on the afternoon before the fire, there were several screams at Wang Shun's house. I was working in the fields, so I didn’t see the excitement.”

Aunt Zhang was startled, she didn't know that the village head would put this suspicion on Xia Zhi's head.Aunt Zhang grabbed Aunt Wang's arm tightly, ignored her last words, and asked anxiously, "And then?"

"And then it disappeared. It's not like you don't know about my family. When it comes to sweet-scented osmanthus, it's like losing your mind. I'm afraid that others won't know that they have engaged in baby marriage before." Aunt Wang flipped through the image without hesitation. She rolled her eyes, and pulled Aunt Wang's hand from holding her. "Okay, my tobacco has been packed, so I'll go first. But what I told you just now, don't go around talking about it, I'm only telling you."

After finishing speaking, Aunt Zhang saw Aunt Wang disappear into the pharmacy, and when she chased her out again, Aunt Wang was nowhere to be found.

Thinking about what Mr. Fang had specifically told her before going out this morning, Mrs. Zhang stomped her feet impatiently and said badly to herself.I have been in the same village as Aunt Wang for so many years, don't I know her well?The mouth is bigger than his own, and basically only Aunt Wang knows about it, and the village has already spread it.Especially now that Wang Shun's incident happened, it is estimated that it will become the talk of the villagers for a long time.

Hastily picked up the medicine that the little brother who caught the medicine had packed, and turned a blind eye to the earth fairy leaves he had already picked, Aunt Zhang directly dragged Xia Zhi and wanted to leave, "Before Aunt Wang finds you, let's leave quickly here."

Xia Zhi pulled back Aunt Zhang's hand that was about to leave in a hurry, with a look of no nervousness at all. "It's useless to leave now. It is estimated that what Aunt Wang said was the real intention of the village chief. The purpose is to ruin my reputation and never return to Fushan Village."

From the moment Aunt Wang spoke, Xia Zhi guessed the intention of the village chief.It's nothing more than Wang Shun's death, and he can't get back the money.And since he disappeared, he was so annoyed that he didn't want Xia Zhi to step into Fushan Village again.

On the surface, it seems that the village chief's selfish desires made the slander against Xia Zhi, but is he really the one behind it?

What was the meaning of what Wang Shun said to her before he died?Does his death have anything to do with the village chief?
Xia Zhi frowned, these were things she couldn't figure out.

What's more, it's so easy for a village head to drive a seven-year-old child out of the village. Is it worth using this method?
Or, is there another secret?

It seems that she needs to find a suitable time to "talk" with the village head.

"Then what should we do now?" Aunt Zhang saw that Xia Zhi still looked unhurried, she couldn't stand up even though she was impatient.

Xia Zhi let go of Aunt Zhang's hand, picked up the two taels of fairy leaves that had already been picked on the ground, and walked back, "Auntie, come and help me settle the money first, and no matter how urgent you are, you have to buy all the things before you can go back. .”
