Just as she was about to step into Liu Er's house, she took a deep breath and calmed her emotions. Just as she stepped into the house, she was hit in the face by a broom.

"Is this how you treat my third brother? Duan Xiaohe, you are so useless now, if you really do not like my Ol 'Three, then I will write the letter for him! "

Duan Xiaohe's body stiffened, she looked at Old Man Liu who was so angry that her entire body was trembling in disbelief.

"Father, what did you say?"

Not only Old Man Liu, even Liu Er, Widow Li and the ignorant Little Ruixue looked at her in unison.

The Widow Li pursed her lips, "The news spread throughout the entire village today. They said that you and that Qin Rui, are neither good nor bad …"

"No, no, no."

Duan Xiaohe laughed back, "So it turns out that I, Duan Xiaohe, am also someone who is not in your hearts at all. What others say is their business, so I thought you guys would at least believe me. "

Liu Er dragged Widow Li for a bit, and Widow Li snorted as she carried the child in.

Old Man Liu pointed at Duan Xiaohe and still wanted to say something, but Duan Xiaohe opened her mouth first, cutting off his words.

"You want to divorce me? No way! I'm Liu San's daughter-in-law, not yours? If you think I'm shameful, then go and find Liu San for me. If he agrees to divorce me, then I won't say a word. The last time I asked around, I already found out for you that the person is in the northern troop of South Zhangzhou, go find him yourself. If he agrees to divorce me, then remember to send the bookmark directly to Hugh! "

Duan Xiaohe did not go in, and did not even say that Xia Yu was pregnant, and turned to leave. If she said that now, then maybe they would laugh at her for not being able to lay an egg after entering the restaurant first.

Passing by Qin Rui's house, Duan Xiaohe suppressed the fire in her heart and sped up her footsteps to return home. Liu Da was still counting the little things in the courtyard, while he was talking and laughing about something, when he saw her coming back home, he waved at her smilingly.

She walked over and squatted together with Liu Da. Liu Da pointed at the little things and laughed dumbly again.

"I have a small one too."

Duan Xiaohe's heart immediately softened, and the gaze in which she looked at Liu Da with became much gentler.

"Ah, are they all here? I came over to give Xia Yu a diagnosis. After last night's acupuncture, you should be much better now, right? This is the medicine I prepared. Take two servings a day until you have three months to look at. "

Qin Rui threw the two bags of medicine in his hands to Liu Da, telling him how much water to use and how much fire to fry the medicine. Although Liu Da's mind was not complete, he could sometimes react quickly. After memorizing all of Qin Rui's words, he busied himself with frying medicine.

"Doctor Qin, let's chat for a bit?"

Qin Rui shook his head, "We can talk later, I will go see the patient first. If you anger me by saying something I don't like to hear, I won't be able to see Xia Yu's diagnosis. "

Duan Xiaohe replied softly and followed Qin Rui to her room.

After finishing his pulse, Qin Rui asked Xia Yu a few more questions, and after saying some things that he needed to take note of in the future, Qin Rui then took his leave and said that he was going to leave.

Xia Yu was not used to it, so he asked Yue Yang, "Is he not eating here anymore?"

Qin Rui smiled and said that he would forget about it today and come back another day.

Duan Xiaohe followed him into the courtyard and stopped him in his tracks. Qin Rui turned around and looked at her with a bland smile.

"It's best if you don't come too often in the future. I still need to have a reputation. When I entered the village, I had already assumed the title of a widow and many people in the village had already looked down on me." I am a married man, so I have to keep away from other men. If Liu San comes back and hears about this, I'm afraid he will lose his temper with me again. "

Qin Rui laughed with a sense of ridicule.

"If he truly cares about you, then no matter what others say, he will not care. If just a few words of gossip are enough to make her suspect you, then there's no need for you and him to continue living. "

Qin Rui took a step closer to her, greatly alarmed her, and she took a step back. He grabbed her arm and pulled her closer.

"In the past, you didn't care so much about what others thought of you. You were clearly just a country girl, yet you were more open-minded than others. If others were to say one word, you could say ten. Even if they were to say that they were unable to win, they would always be able to find a way to return the loss. What was going on now? I haven't really done anything to you yet. This is not the Duan Xiaohe that I know. "

"She gritted her teeth and pulled away the arm he was holding." At first, I didn't like the Liu San that much, so I didn't care about what others said, but now I like him, so now others can't even say a single word. Wait for Liu San to come back … "

Qin Rui's eyes suddenly darkened, her voice dropped by a few degrees, it was so cold that it almost fell out of the ice.

"Wait for him to come back? Then he would be able to return. Do you think going to the battlefield is the same as going to the market? That was a place where one would lose his life! "From the moment he makes this decision, you will have the feeling of becoming a widow again!"

"Shut up!"

Duan Xiaohe raised his palm and it was easily dodged by Qin Rui.

"If he's serious, it won't be so long since he hasn't even received a single letter from his family."

"He has a letter from home!"

Qin Rui coldly snorted in disdain, "You only know how to deceive yourself."

Pointing at the door, she roared, "Scram! In the future, don't come into my house again. Tomorrow, I'll go buy two dogs. If you come again, I'll let the dogs bite you."

His eyes were dark. "Raise one for yourself and I'll kill one for you."

Duan Xiaohe grinded her teeth, grabbed a stool beside him and threw it at him. Qin Rui dodged so she found something else. When Liu Da heard the commotion, he came out to see. Even Xia Yu was alarmed.

Seeing that Xia Yu had come out, she immediately ran over to bring him back to her room. When she finally came out, Qin Rui had already left.

Who knew that after just a day, those people who had their mouth broken yesterday would all come to her house and apologize to her. They said that they had heard it themselves and misunderstood it with a single mouth broken, telling Duan Xiaohe not to take it to heart.

He was afraid that Yue Yang wanted to pull some strings. After all, Yue Yang had never said a word when Yue Yang came to the water well to drink.

This morning, almost half the people from the village had come. They were all talking about the same thing, which was strange.

Liu Da also thought that it was strange. When Xia Yu heard that there was a guest at home, it was not good to lie down. When they saw her come out, there was another wave of warmth, telling her to be careful of her stomach and her children.

Duan Xiaohe and Xia Yu looked at each other, confused. She didn't even mention the matter of getting pregnant, how did these people know?

Not long after, Old Man Liu also came over, and brought Liu Er and Widow Li along, and even hugged him, and did not talk about the matter of repudiating her wife, and did not talk about the matter of him accidentally hitting Duan Xiaohe yesterday. They only said that since Xia Yu was pregnant, she should take a good rest, and Widow Li even talked about it with Xia Yu for close to an hour.

They stayed for a long time before leaving. After finally being able to have a moment of peace and quiet, Liu Jinfu came over with Haitang's mother.

Haitang's mother took her hand and said that he wanted to see the wound on her back. Duan Xiaohe was suspicious in her heart. Since she couldn't endure Haitang's mother, she could only follow her back to her room. She took off his clothes and showed the injuries on her back to her mother.

Duan Xiaohe's back was a patch of green and purple, her two shoulder blades still had quite a few scratches, and her back had even turned black at the waist, causing the Haitang's mother to exclaim in shock.

"You can't do that. Have you looked for a doctor?"

Duan Xiaohe put on her clothes, pointed to a bottle of medicine on the side, and said that Qin Rui had brought this back, and it was rather useful.

Haitang's mother took off her clothes again and applied the medicine on her again. He was afraid that he would hurt her, so he was both gentle and careful.

The two of them went downstairs and the Haitang's mother nodded towards Liu Jinfu. Seeing this action, Duan Xiaohe knew that it was probably Liu Jinfu's idea. If there really was an injury on her back, that would mean that Qin Rui was not lying. If she was lying, then she might not have the convenience to be used in Liu Village anymore.

Liu Jinfu went straight to the point. He said that the aunt was someone who married Duan Xiaohe to the Liu Village first, and that she came to him the night before yesterday to complain that Duan Xiaohe had beaten her up and even insulted her, causing her to not even dare to go out the door now.

Most importantly, when the two of them were fighting, Duan Xiaohe took the initiative to reveal her ambiguous relationship with Qin Rui. Because of the incident with the Widow Li, Liu Village had a bad reputation in the nearby villages. They were afraid that if Duan Xiaohe came out, the effect on them would be even greater.

Liu Jinfu had promised to ask Duan Xiaohe about it the next day. He didn't expect that when he woke up on the second day, he would spread the news that his mouth was about to shatter.

Those words were unfair, no one knew what kind of person Duan Xiaohe was, but the two of them knew it. The two of them discussed in private, and felt that they should not just listen to just one side of the story, they should also come to Duan Xiaohe's side to understand more. Who knew that Qin Rui would come knocking on his door before he had even gone out.

Qin Rui merely described the situation at that time, told him about the injuries on Duan Xiaohe's body, and that Xia Yu was pregnant.

After Liu Jinfu heard this, he became furious. He immediately brought the few men from the village to that aunt's house to investigate this matter once more. That aunt initially didn't want to admit it, but Liu Jinfu threatened to report this matter to the officials.

That was how the villagers came to apologize.

Haitang's mother sighed a little. She had already given birth to two children, and knew how hard it was to get pregnant. The situation on that day must have been very dangerous, if Qin Rui hadn't been there, Xia Yu probably would have lost her life.

Liu Jinfu muttered to himself, saying that if Qin Rui had not explained everything to him, he would not know how long he would have had to endure.

Duan Xiaohe wanted to ask Qin Rui what exactly she had said, and how she had managed to persuade his to go door-to-door and get someone to come and apologize. She opened his mouth, but didn't know how to say it.

Deep into the night, Duan Xiaohe who had just lied down suddenly shrieked in fear after she forced open the window and peeked her head out. Qin Rui shook the jug of wine in his hand, and asked her if she was interested in enjoying the moon.

Duan Xiaohe suppressed her desire to kill him and took the bottle of wine from his hands and gulped it down boldly.
