The fool's behavior warmed Xuexue's heart a little. Although he was simple-minded, everything he showed was sincere, so she laughed and said, "With you around, who would dare to hit or scold me?"
"Hehe…! True," the fool scratched his head honestly.
After Xuexue finished chopping the meat and cleaned her hands, she wiped them with her apron and took a glance at the fool before speaking to Madam Xie, "Mom, he doesn't have a name, and it's always inconvenient. If people in the village find out, they will surely suspect us. Then, there will be nothing but gossip flying around."
Upon hearing this, Madam Xie became nervous all of a sudden, "What should we do then?"
"We should give him a name. First, it'll dispel others' doubts, and second, it'll be more convenient to call him," Xuexue proposed.
Madam Xie: "That makes sense."
Xuexue turned to the fool with a warm smile and said, "I'll help you pick a name, how does that sound?"
