Chapter 29: Rumors Flying Everywhere

"You believe whatever the Huang family says? What if they are lying to you?!" Sun Shi gritted her teeth.

That Huang Family Young Master's illness hasn't been cured for so many years, how could it suddenly be cured?

"Alright, alright, don't shout at me. If you don't want Jinbao to marry over, tell Mother yourself to let Little Sister marry over!"

Li Shoude's face was full of impatience, and he directly lifted the quilt and buried his head to sleep.

Anyway, this marriage has been set. Whether it is Li Xiufang or Li Jinbao, it is the same for whoever marries over.

"Mother, I don't want to marry into the Huang family, you let Aunt marry over..."

Li Jinbao saw that Li Shoude was not on her side, and immediately ran to Sun Shi and complained.

She didn't want to marry that sick seedling!

Even if there is endless glory and wealth, she heard from people in the county seat before that the sick seedling of the Huang family won't live long. Marrying over is just living as a widow!

She is a maiden, she doesn't want to be a widow!

"Feng'er, don't worry, Mother will definitely not let you marry that sick seedling!"

Sun Shi hurriedly hugged Li Jinbao to comfort her, and couldn't help but complain: "It's all the fault of that dead girl Jiang Shi. If she married over, there wouldn't be so many things!"

"That's right, it's all her fault!" A trace of resentment flashed in Li Jinbao's eyes.

This day, Jiang Wei led Jiang Xiaoxiao to town again to get the molds back.

On the way back to the village, they met several peasant women going to the river to fetch water and found that the eyes they looked at them were strange.

"... I said so, look at her not doing any work, running to town all day, and buying some things back in big and small bags..."

"Where did she get so much money? I'm afraid she was kept by some wild man in town?"

"Tsk, don't say that, look at her face like a vixen, enchanting and demonic, one look and you know she's not a good thing!"

The whispering voices were not deliberately lowered and traveled into the ears of the mother and daughter without a word.

Jiang Xiaoxiao turned her head and looked at the people who were talking, one of whom was Wang Shen, whom she had met yesterday.

She made an incomparably disgusted expression on her face, describing it vividly to the women in the village, while pointing at them.

"Pah, not keeping womanly virtue! I think she was in such a hurry to separate from the Lao Li family a few days ago, I'm afraid it was to mess around with wild men outside!"

The women looked at Jiang Wei with increasingly disgusted eyes.

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoxiao squeezed her little fist.

These long-tongued women!

Just at this moment, her mother suddenly walked over: "What are you talking about? Speak louder, I didn't hear clearly."

Wang Shen didn't expect Jiang Wei to not be ashamed of such dirty words, but instead walked over, so she hurriedly changed her words: "No, didn't say anything!"

She was a little guilty.

This wasn't the first time she had spread rumors like this outside.

The girls in the village have thin skin, and usually, they would be ashamed and run away when encountering such rumors, but this was the first time someone like Jiang Wei came up and questioned them directly.

"Didn't say anything, do you think I'm deaf!" Jiang Wei walked up to her and kicked over her wooden bucket.

The strength was so great that it kicked over all the water in the bucket, spilling it all over the ground, and the splashing water fell on several people.

Several people were startled, and even Wang Shen was stunned in place.

They didn't expect Jiang Wei to be so spicy, and in a trance, they recalled the crazy look of her holding a kitchen knife and hacking people in the Lao Li family's courtyard a few days ago...

Several people couldn't help but shrink their necks, and one of the women hurriedly carried her water bucket, "That, that, I have something to do at home, I'll go first."

After speaking, she ran away in a hurry.

"Hey, Zhuangzi's mother..."

Wang Shen just opened her mouth to shout, and the other women also ran away with their buckets, without looking back.

Only Wang Shen was left to face Jiang Wei.

"I, I..." Wang Shen seemed to realize that she had provoked someone she shouldn't have, and facing Jiang Wei's penetrating gaze, she felt a chill down her spine.

She could only bite the bullet and open her mouth: "That, that, I just said it casually, don't take it seriously..."

"Said it casually? Heh, you call this slanderous talk about someone's innocence saying it casually?"

Jiang Wei stared at her coldly and left a warning without mercy: "If I hear you slander my innocence again next time, I won't spare you!"

After speaking, Jiang Wei turned and led Jiang Xiaoxiao away.

Watching the backs of the mother and daughter gradually walking away, Wang Shen finally recovered and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Immediately, she glared hatefully at Jiang Wei's back: "Pah, little bitch! Clearly, she is guilty of being a thief, but she won't let me say it!"

When they got home, Jiang Xiaoxiao was still indignant.

That Wang Shen really has a cheap mouth, actually slandering her mother's innocence behind her back!

Really hateful!

Saying she was kept by a wild man, such yellow rumors in the ancient feudal world are enough to destroy a girl's innocence. It is truly punishable!

"Alright, stop being angry, that kind of person is not worth getting angry over." Jiang Wei put down the molds brought from the carpentry shop and said casually.

She didn't take it too seriously. She had seen too much of this kind of slander and framing in her previous life, and a clown like Wang Shen couldn't affect her at all.

What she wants to punish now is the Lao Li family.

Ever since she learned about the Huang family's dirty business from Shopkeeper Zhou, she has become increasingly hateful toward the Li family!

She must find a way to make the Lao Li family eat their own bitter fruit!

Thinking of this, Jiang Wei suddenly rolled her eyes, then picked up a basket of vegetables and half a jar of goat milk she had just squeezed this morning, "Xiaoxiao, go, let's go find your Auntie Qiulian."

"Ah, now?" Jiang Xiaoxiao was stunned. At this time, Qiulian Niang should be working in the fields, right?

But looking at her mother's expression that seemed to have a bad idea, Jiang Xiaoxiao still followed.

When they arrived at Qiulian Niang's house, Qiulian Niang was indeed not at home.

Only her mother-in-law, Zhao Old Woman, was at home.

"Maybe we should come back next time..." Jiang Xiaoxiao just opened her mouth, and in a flash, she saw her mother push open the fence gate and walk straight in.

"Zhao Old Woman, are you cooking?"

"What are you doing in my house!" Zhao Old Woman stared at the mother and daughter with vigilance.

She was washing the pot, and the whole family had gone to work in the fields, and she was left at home to cook.

Now that the mother and daughter came at this time, could it be that they wanted to come to her house to eat?

Seeing the disgusted and repulsive expression on the opposite side, Jiang Xiaoxiao hurriedly raised the small half-jar of goat milk in her hand and said: "Mother and I came to find Auntie Qiulian, to send some things to you."

"What things?" Zhao Old Woman's eyes lit up, as if she remembered the bowl of braised pork the mother and daughter sent last time, the taste of which she still remembered vividly!

Jiang Wei exposed the vegetable basket in her hand at the right time, with two eggs padded on the full vegetables.

"The family bought a milk goat and squeezed some goat milk to send to you to taste." Jiang Wei handed the vegetable basket and goat milk over together.
