Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 337 Rumors Are Spreading (Two in One)

The women in the village do not often go to the town, but the men do go more often, but the places where these people go are usually markets, blacksmith shops, grocery stores, bombsmith shops, or other places where they live with the people, or Places related to farming and sowing.Like Mingshan Pavilion, the big guys have only heard of and seen it, but not all of them have eaten in it.

Now, the big guys heard that the nephew of the shopkeeper of Mingshan Pavilion, who is recuperating at Liang Yuzhong's house and has a serious lack of spiritual life, has come to be interested.

"The tongue crushes people to death. This is true. I visited the pond this morning, and I heard it for real. Those gossips in the village are talking about our family when they have nothing to do! They say that our family is not like Mingshan. Shopkeeper Fang in the pavilion, I have become a great friend, and said that our houses, fields, the capital and connections of the shops outside are all because of climbing up to Shopkeeper Fang!" After breakfast, Ma Dong accompanied Mrs. Sun by the side. Feeding the pigs in front of the pigsty in the courtyard, he said angrily.

Shopkeeper Fang is tall or short, Mama Dong hasn't seen her half the time since she came here.All she saw was the hardworking, down-to-earth, and star-studded wife and family members.

Mrs. Sun also had a gloomy face, her gaze fell on the long pig trough in front of her.Five plump and strong Huazhu, scrambling and arching there, clattering for food.

Sun sighed and said: "People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. The main entrance of Mingshan Pavilion is said to be the largest restaurant in Changqiao Town. In the eyes of those of us who have never seen the world in the countryside, the shopkeeper Fang of Mingshan Pavilion is not normal person."

"Now, Brother Wen is living in our house, and those villagers, who have their own thoughts, are talking about us. Let them go. When they have said enough, they will naturally stop talking." Sun said.

"Ma'am, those people gossip about other things. It's nothing. I heard some bad things today..." Mother Dong hesitated. Originally, she didn't plan to say this to Madam, but after thinking about it anyway, she still wanted to talk about it. I think it should be said, because the reputation of the eldest lady is the most important!

"What did you hear?" Seeing Dong Ma's expression, Mrs. Sun must have guessed something bad, but she still asked.

Dong's mother glanced around to make sure no one was passing by, and whispered a few words in Sun's ear. When Sun heard this, her whole face instantly turned green and white with anger, and in the end, her whole body was shaking Trembling slightly!

"Nonsense, it's just nonsense!" Sun slapped heavily on the gate of the pigsty in front of him, panting.

"Xi'er is a good girl with love and righteousness. She is kind to Brother Wen because Brother Wen is kind to our family first. As a human being, we must know how to repay you! How can we be greedy for Fang's money? Besides, our family Now the life is passable, and the family in the village is well-off. These villagers really sit at home and speculate wildly, and they hurt people with random arrows!"

"Isn't that true? With our family's current wealth, let alone Jinjishan Village and the nearby Shiliba villages, even if we put it in Changqiao Town for comparison, it can be regarded as a wealthy family! Why go there again? In order to cling to whom, do you lose your boudoir reputation?" Dong Ma followed Sun's words and said angrily.

"Mother Dong, if next time you hear those words about splashing dirty water on my Xi'er and ruining her boudoir's name, come back immediately and tell me that I'm going to tear that person's mouth open!" Mrs. Sun said angrily.

Madam Dong nodded and said, "Don't worry Ma'am, don't bother you to do it, let me hear it next time, and I'll tear her mouth apart on the spot!"

The sun has been good these few days, and every household is busy washing and drying.Jin Xi goes to the shop in the town every day, trying to finish the business in the shop in the morning, grab a few lunches in Qianlixiang, and then set off back to the village.

Today, Jin Xi is doing the same as usual.When they came home, when they passed the front yard, they saw that the door and windows of the west wing where Wending lived were all covered.Asking Cai Qingyang, it turns out that Wending took a nap after lunch.

Jin Xi was quite surprised, in the past few days, she came back from town at this time every day.Every time I passed by here, I would see Wending sitting by the flower bed at the door basking in the sun.Then, Jin Xi would go over and talk to him, talking about the interesting things she heard in the town, about the things in the shop, and other things.In the afternoon when the sun turns cloudy and the wind blows, Jin Xi will call Ah Cai and the others to help bring Wending back to the house.

Jin Xi would let him lie on the bed with all his clothes on, and she would open some scriptures, odd talks and gossip books by herself, and read a few passages to him.It doesn't need to consume his mind, but it can also help him relieve boredom and pass the time. From those anecdotes, he can find some positive energy in life and bright colors in the gloomy life.

They spent the past few days like this.

"Brother Wen, he went to bed after eating? Could it be that he is uncomfortable? Have you asked?" Jin Xi stood on the passage in the yard, still carrying something in her hand, and cast her eyes towards the long distance to the west. A row of rooms, his eyes locked on the door of one of the rooms, his face full of worry.

"I have asked, Madam has also asked. Brother Wen said that he is all right, but he is sleepy. So he left a message to the young lady, and told the young lady to go back to the house to rest after the young lady's house, and there is no need to go to accompany him. He might fall asleep this time. At night." Cai Qingyang said from the side.

Jin Xi nodded in doubt, and said, "Maybe it's because of the medicine prescribed by Mr. Chen that he became drowsy. Well, let Brother Wen take good care of himself, and when he wakes up, I'll go see him again! "After that, Jin Xi withdrew her gaze and walked quickly to the backyard.

The footsteps gradually faded away, and the beautiful figure also disappeared. Behind one of the windows in the west wing room, there was a complicated staring gaze, but it did not leave.Wending sat motionless on the chair behind the window, the bright light outside the window could not enter the room, and the room was a bit dim.

He sat there quietly, his face seemed to be covered with a heavy shadow, on his clean face, his facial features glowed with a stern brilliance.One hand rests on the back of the chair, the other hangs down by the side, and a goose down mattress covers the unconscious legs.

He lowered his head slightly, lowered his brows and eyes, and murmured a girl's name: "Xi'er, Xi'er...Brother Wen dragged you down like this, it's very wrong, but I still chose to do this." selfish..."

Jin Xi did not bother him as promised, and went straight to the kitchen, handed over two catties of bones to Jane, asked her to clean up the small fire and put it on the stove, and then served Brother Wen noodles with bone soup for dinner.

After explaining this, Jin Xi went back to the house and changed her clothes, washed her face and hands, and then went to tease the third and fourth children for a while.

Jin Xi found that Sun's gaze fell on her several times today, which was a bit different from usual.

"Mom, what do you want to say, just say it straight, our mothers, what else can we avoid?" Jin Xi led the fourth child to walk to school in the dry grass under the sun, while turning her head to her side several times, wanting to speak And stopped Sun's way.

Finally, Mrs. Sun couldn't help it, and told Jin Xi about the slanderous comments of the villagers that Dong Ma had heard.

However, the girl's strange reaction after hearing these words was far from what Sun had expected.The girl just raised her eyebrows, then fell silent for a short while, and finally, the corners of her mouth curled up, letting out a disdainful mocking sound.

From the beginning to the end, she was so calm that Mrs. Sun was astonished, making it impossible for Mrs. Sun to say the many words of comfort that she had prepared in her heart for half a day.

"Xi'er, Mother didn't say these things to you to upset you, to cause trouble for you. It's not to make you alienate Brother Wen, Mother just wanted to comfort you, what should we do, we have to do it according to our own conscience , don’t worry about what outsiders say. Well, if you allow me, next time, whether you go to visit brother Wen, bask in the sun with him or read to him, Mom will be happy to accompany you. "

In this way, it will not delay Jinxi's taking care of Wending, but also seal the suspicion of outsiders. After all, it is not a lonely man and a widow living together in the same room.

Jin Xi understands Sun's good intentions, but she doesn't like to do this.Because doing so, falling on Wending will undoubtedly cause him a psychological burden.

For a person who was high-spirited, radiant and proud in the past, he is undoubtedly an eagle with broken wings.It was not only his unconscious legs that were hurt, but also his proud heart.

"Mother, I understand what you mean. I can accept your painstaking efforts, but we can't do this just to create strong evidence for ourselves to avoid suspicion." Jin Xi looked at Sun and said seriously.

Mrs. Sun also looked at Jin Xi with a perplexed look on her face.As a mother, who doesn't care about her daughter's honor?Repaying the favor is repaying the favor, but you can't really take the girl's life into it!However, what the daughter said is also reasonable, they can't hurt brother Wen just to avoid suspicion, brother Wen is so innocent, and now is in such a situation, thinking about it, Sun feels sorry and distressed!

"Rumors stop at wise men, Xi'er, don't worry if you do things, mother, just be a mother and say nothing, do as you should! If anyone dares to talk nonsense, mother will deal with her!" Sun finally said.

Rumors only stop at wise men, but all wise men in this world are almost dead. Otherwise, why are there so many people who are chasing after wind and wind and have nothing to do?Jin Xi sneered disdainfully in her heart.However, Sun's attitude shocked her deeply.

Jin Xi put the fourth child to sit on the grass beside him, and picked a grass root for him to play with in his hand.He himself came over and put his arms around Sun Shi's waist, put his head on Sun Shi's shoulder, and said softly: "Mother, it is my good fortune to be your daughter!"

……

The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Song Yajia from the town came to Jinxi's house to discuss the sale of the land.Liang Yuzhong, Cai Jinshan and others followed Song Yaqi out for a long time, and finally settled on 25 mu of land.

Of the [-] acres of land, only [-] acres are located on both sides of the official road, and the other [-] acres are scattered around other nearby villages.

However, no matter how far away, it is not more than five miles away.Liang Yuzhong and Cai Jinshan thought about it, what they were looking for was that the fields were convenient for irrigation, even if they were a little farther away from Jinxi's house, it would not be a difficult task to go to the fields on weekdays, the worst would be to go there by ox cart.
