Old Zhong House

"Old man, I just heard people outside talking, they say a woman in Yang Family Village is going to open a school. Do you think it could be our Xiaoxiao?" Xiaoxiao’s mother asked as soon as she entered the room.

This matter has been talked about outside for a while. Many people are speculating, saying that the woman must be their Xiaoxiao. After all, which village girl around here knows how to read? Moreover, Xiaoxiao married a scholar, it could very well be that Scholar Yang is the one opening the school.

The idea of a woman opening a school seems quite unlikely. They hadn’t heard of women opening schools before, so it was probably a mistaken rumor, surely it’s Scholar Yang who is opening the school.

Old Zhong sat there, hearing this but wasn’t too surprised, and simply said, "If she opens it, then let her. Let her do as she pleases."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao’s mother sighed, "Sigh, speaking of our Xiaoxiao, ever since she married Yang Ming, she’s changed. She’s done so many things, and now she’s opening a school? Her courage is really too big. How many words could she know? She only learned some from the Li Family girl, but not much! Our Xiaoxiao was never this daring before!"

Xiaoxiao’s mother’s words were full of worry, but Old Zhong furrowed his brows and scolded, "What do you know? Our daughter has matured since she married. Surely, she’s learned from Yang Ming. Don’t go around telling others that our daughter has changed. Our daughter is still our daughter, she hasn’t changed."

In fact, Old Yang had long suspected that this daughter is not the same as before.

Because every time his daughter came back, she seemed so mysterious, but after the Stone Mountain incident, he was sure of it.

To say he was uncertain before, it was entirely because his daughter wasn’t by their side. She moved to Yang Family Village and did so many things. He only thought it was because she learned from Yang Ming since Yang Ming was a scholar and probably knew a lot.

But during the Stone Mountain incident, seeing his daughter’s way of dealing with things and all her ideas, he was sure.

His daughter wasn’t like this; she would never have thought of these ideas.

He pondered for a long time about where his daughter had gone, who this daughter really was.

In the end, he concluded that this daughter was also sincere with them, with no ulterior motives, and was indeed their daughter.

As for his original daughter, maybe she went where she was supposed to.

The villagers are naturally superstitious, and if people suspected something like ghost possession in his daughter changing, it would be disastrous, so the daughter’s change must not be mentioned, and they should keep it to themselves.

"Old man, why are you being so loud? I didn’t say anything."

Old Zhong continued sternly, "Woman, our daughter has learned a lot of things from Yang Ming, but the villagers don’t know. If they speak ill of her, saying she knows too much, changed too much, and was possessed by ghosts, what would we do? You mustn’t go around saying our daughter has changed; our daughter hasn’t changed, she is still our daughter."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao’s mother immediately became alert. This is no joke. If people spread rumors that her daughter was possessed by ghosts, it could lead to being burned. She immediately closed her mouth, knowing she couldn’t just talk randomly. Her daughter was, of course, her daughter. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Old man, you’re right, I won’t say it anymore."

At this moment, Xiaoxiao still didn’t know that the fact she wasn’t the original Zhong Xiaoxiao had already been exposed.
