Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 128 Shen Xiangrong's Unpleasant Comments

"By the way, Wen He, Shen Hubiao is back. Did you see him?"

"Yes, I saw him on the first day I entered the village. I haven't seen him in the past few days. What happened to him?"

"He had a quarrel with his father last night and left the village late at night. I don't know which idiot friends he went to meet."

He Yuxiang's house is in the second row, the second house on the west side. There are two houses in front of her house. Shen Hubiao's house is in front of her house on the east side.

"It was a fierce quarrel. I overheard it and said that his father was destined to be a hard worker and would never enjoy life."

"He also said that he was capable and could make money, and he refused to go to town to enjoy life, so he deserved to suffer in the village."

"What kind of business do you think he could have? He made a lot of money in more than two months. Could he have done something shameful?"

It's no wonder she was skeptical. How could one make a lot of money in two months through legitimate business? The material for the clothes he was wearing cost several taels of silver.

Ji Wenhe knew, but she couldn't say: "I don't know. Anyway, it has nothing to do with us, so who cares."

It’s best to go to town to avoid meeting each other.

He Yuxiang shook her head secretly: "Come on, you are busy, auntie is back."

"Hey, Aunt He, take care."

The pit was almost dug, so I went home to get a bucket of water.

It took seven or eight trips to fill the pit with water.

Squatting by the fence, teasing the ducklings with a branch in his hand.

I glanced at the puddle next to me and wondered if they would drown if they went in, as I had dug it a little deep.

Then I laughed at my own thought. Ducks and geese are born to swim, so how could they drown?

Ji Wenhe caught a little duck and gently put it into the water, and saw it swimming happily in it.

"I'm relieved that you can't drown. Go back. You are still young now. I will let you in when you grow up."

She didn't dare leave them in the water for a long time because they were small and she was worried that they would get cold and get sick.

"Go back. I'll let you go down after a while."

He carried the bucket home and brought the two quilts into the house.

"sister in law."

"Hey."

It was Shen Wenshan's voice.

Ji Wenhe had just brought their quilt into the house when he heard his cry.

"Sister-in-law, we are back." He leaned the bamboo pole with the bracelet hanging on it against the wall.

"Where are your elder brother and Yuanshan?"

"They are unloading the goods at Aunt Lan's house."

"There is water in the pottery jar. You came back a little late today."

Judging from the sky, it’s probably past four o’clock.

Shen Wenshan went out and pointed at the basket at the kitchen door: "I went to look for wild vegetables on the way back."

Ji Wenhe poured out the wild vegetables: "I found a lot today, so I don't need to look for more tomorrow. There's enough for them to eat."

"Sister-in-law, I went to Aunt Lan's house."

"Hey, go ahead."

She picked some wild vegetables and made pancakes with them in the evening.

After closing the door, they carried the wild vegetables in the basin down the mountain and came to Lan Qiuhua's house, where the three of them were unloading the goods.

"Aunt Lan, can your utility room hold it?"

Unable to put them down, they could only carry them home.

"Yes, I have cleaned up Anguo's house. He will be back from planting rice. You should sell the noodles in Anguo's house first."

Ji Wenhe glanced at the people in the house, said hello, and went to the river to wash wild vegetables.

I was squatting by the river washing vegetables when I heard a child's voice behind me: "Hey, that guy."

She looked back and saw that the little boy was Shen Xiangrong from Jiang Hongxi's family: "I am Shen Rongshan's wife, you should call me sister-in-law."

"Oh."

"..."

Forget it, I’m not as knowledgeable as a child.

I turned back to wash the vegetables. After a while, I heard him say, "You are dark and ugly, uglier than my two sisters. Although they are ugly in my heart, you are uglier."

Ji Wenhe twitched his lips and decided to ignore him.

Shen Xiangrong didn't see her speak, frowned, and said in a very aggressive tone: "Why can't you understand what others are saying? Hey, I'm talking to you."

"That's what your mother taught you. When you see an elder, you say 'Hey'. Don't you know you should call her sister-in-law?"

Wang Erfeng has a very loud voice. Some people are walking around in the fields, while others are gathered together chatting.

Her voice attracted all their attention.

Then she said loudly: "You should call her sister-in-law and say she is ugly and black. Who taught you that?"

Shen Xiangrong usually had everything he wanted at home, and had never been treated so harshly by anyone before, so he raised his head and glared, "I'm telling the truth, she's just ugly and black."

"Mom said that we should not tell lies. I am telling the truth."

"......" Ji Wenhe experienced the word "speechless" for the first time.

You want to say he is wrong, right? He is telling the truth, right?...

She looked down at her reflection in the water. She was black, but a lot whiter. It was not as exaggerated as he said. He really didn't know how to talk.

Ji Wenhe smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Aunt Wang, you are here to wash the vegetables too, come over here, I'm done washing them."

Wang Erfeng glanced at the person standing next to her who was not convinced, and said helplessly: "Don't give in to him. If he says something unpleasant, just curse back at him."

She whispered back, "Where are the grandchildren of the village head? His two grandchildren are golden treasures. If they cry, they will go back and complain. I'm afraid it will be embarrassing."

Aunt Lan told her that she should avoid Shen Xiangrong if possible, because the boy was spoiled by Jiang Hongxi and was not as sensible as Tao Xing'er's youngest son.

"You are the only ones who are afraid of him. I am not afraid of him. If they dare to provoke me, I will make their family suffer."

Wang Erfeng is a person who will never suffer any loss. He is not afraid of anyone in the village except the head of the village.

Although she was also afraid of him, she was much better than other people in the village. At least she didn't hide when she saw Shen Xiangrong, and she would just curse back if someone said something unpleasant.

Seeing that both of them had their backs to him and didn't talk to him, he glared at them angrily and said, "Do whatever you want. I'll go back and tell my mother."

After saying that, he trotted back home, with an expression on his face as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Ji Wenhe looked at his back, a trace of annoyance flashing in her eyes. She hated rude children the most, and they spoke rudely.

"Aunt Jiang has such a gentle temper, how could she raise such a son? Her words are so harsh."

Wang Erfeng glanced at her and said, "You don't know much about the people in our village. You will understand as time goes by."

"Aunt Wang, what do you mean? Do you mean Aunt Jiang is different at home and outside?"

No way. I've met her a few times and talked to her a few times. Jiang Hongxi is very likable.

"Wait, someone will be here soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Xiangrong pulled Jiang Hongxi to the river, pointed at the two of them and complained.

"Mom, it's them. I talked to them, but they ignored me and were even mean to me."

Ji Wenhe thought that this boy was not bad. At least he didn't exaggerate and say that they wanted to attack him or something.

I once saw a child who went back to complain even though no one hit him. He covered his face and said that someone hit him, and he spoke as if it were true.
