Xiao Lingyu said with a smile, "Village chief, this is a coincidence. People had been lending and overworking Little Light, which caused him to be in a bad spirit. I was already planning to let Little Light rest when they came to borrow him. So I had to reject them."
The village chief believed Xiao Lingyu, but that couldn't stop the rumors. The villagers said that Xiao Lingyu refused to lend the three families the Little Cattle King because they refused to rent Xiao Zhengyang their land.
Little Cattle King only needed to go for a stroll, and the field would be rejuvenated. This was a huge benefit. The three families refused to help the Xiao Family but intended to take advantage of them. They had to be crazy to think the Xiao Family would be so saintly.
Xiao Zhengyang's family was not people who repaid offense with kindness.
