Peerless pastoral little green plum

Chapter 68
In the evening, Wang Mudan went to the vegetable field to pour the vegetables, and then returned home with a pair of buckets. When passing by the grain drying field, she saw a few women chatting there while eating.

Many people in the village don't like eating in the stove, because they find it too hot or stuffy. Many of them like to come out with bowls and get together to eat and chat.

It happened that Second Aunt Zhao was also there, and as soon as Second Aunt Zhao saw Wang Mudan, she called her over: "Peony, come and chat for a while."

Wang Mudan intuitively felt that what these people were chatting with her was related to her, so she walked over with a bucket.

She smiled as she walked: "Everyone has eaten, I just came back after pouring the vegetables."

Second Aunt Zhao said, "Don't you have flowers and fresh meat at home? Don't worry, you'll have something to eat when you get back. We were just talking about your flowers."

"Oh?" Wang Mudan's expression changed: "What happened to our flowers?"

Second Aunt Zhao gnawed on a piece of pig bone in the bowl, and said, "They all said that your flowers go to Pei Baoshan twice in three days, what's going on?"

As soon as Second Aunt Zhao opened the question, the other women chattered away:
Li Wangshi: "Yes, I've seen them twice, one in the morning and one in the evening, and they all went there with flowers and things, as if they were in a hurry."

Chen Lishi: "Peony, the flowers in your family are so big, and you are a girl, it's not good to get too close like this, do you want flowers to marry Pei Baoshan?"

Li Wang: "Although your family is not a wealthy family in the village, and the conditions for flowers are a bit poor, but it is too bad to find someone like Pei Baoshan? Pei Baoshan has no land, no land, no house, and his legs are lame. That way, I don’t know if it can be cured in the future, and I will definitely be poor for the rest of my life. It’s better to find a widower than Pei Baoshan, and the widower has land and land anyway.”

"..."

The peasant women talked to each other, which made Wang Mudan very angry.

Where is the condition of my flowers in poor condition?Why would you want a widower?Baoshan is not bad, okay?

Besides, you people don't need to worry about Hua'er in the future.

But Wang Mudan knew that the people in the village were talkative, and she couldn't quarrel with them. Although she was angry in her heart, she still said calmly on the surface:

"Where is this going? How can we talk about marriage before the horoscope is written? Hua'er and Baoshan were very close when they were young? It's like brother and sister. When they were young, they played together by the field. It’s not that I don’t know. Baoshan’s situation is very bad now, and Hua’er is kind. Seeing that he’s having a hard time, I’m just going to help him. Don’t think too much about it.”

After Wang Mudan finished speaking, Second Aunt Zhao also ate and said, "That's right, I said you are thinking too much, right? I watched Hua'er grow up. Although this child is not good at speaking, he has a good heart. The two of them played together by the paddy field when they were young. Don’t talk about it, just treat them as brothers and sisters. Didn’t Baoshan be kicked out by Auntie Tao? Then it’s like the Tieshu family has an extra godson. .”

Aunt Zhao's family has been getting better and better in the past few years, and Uncle Zhao has a high prestige in the village, so after she spoke, the peasant women stopped being suspicious and went to eat separately.

Although those peasant women have left, Wang Mudan is still a little worried, afraid that more and more people will say it.
