"How did I hear that you were arrested?"
Uncle Li looked at this and that. Seeing that everyone was safe, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Someone must be spreading rumors. You have to take care of Uncle Li. We are all innocent people. If such rumors are spread, I feel a little fragile, but it will be difficult for me to live."
Zhang Xueqing deliberately made the matter more serious, and of course she did not lower her voice.
"How could it be? Let me know who dares to say nonsense. If I know who it is, I will punish him well."
After achieving his goal, Zhang Xueqing didn't stay any longer and returned to his small courtyard with a group of people.
The Xu family's faces were full of apologies, and it took Zhang Xueqing a lot of words to comfort them.
Rural people don't all like to gossip and talk about right and wrong. Most people like Grandpa Xu's family are afraid of causing trouble to others. If you treat them well, they will be eager to repay you ten times or a hundred times.
After the grandfather and grandson left, Meng Fansen also sent away his clingy little girl and wanted to have a good talk with Zhang Xueqing.
“Have you seen it on WeChat?”
"Huh? Hmm."
"I agree with what you said. Pretend that nothing has happened. Don't worry about it. We will just be neighbors from now on. If you need help, you can always come to me."
"okay."
I don’t know why, these are all things she wanted, but when the man said them, she felt full of loss in her heart.
Looking at the man's leaving figure, something on his body seemed to disappear, as if something was lost.
In the following days, Zhang Xueqing kept herself locked up at home. In addition to Xinxin coming to report every day, Xu Aili came more often.
According to Xu Aili, they were all summoned to Qiaotou for a meeting by the village chief, who emphatically explained the negative impact of spreading lies.
Village Chief Li was very serious this time, and the villagers were secretly divided into three factions. One faction remained neutral, one faction felt that chatting casually would not cost them a piece of meat and was not in the way, and the other faction took advantage of Zhang Xueqing. Several aunts.
They all agreed that it was unkind for a group of people to bully a little girl there, and there were many different opinions and quarrels on the bridge for a while.
It was Village Chief Li who finally made the decision. If anyone continued to talk nonsense, they would not be included in any activities in the village in the future. This group of people gradually died down.
Recently, the village has been busy harvesting land. At the most important time in the countryside, every household is very busy, bringing carts of corn home. Although the villagers are tired, their faces are filled with the joy of the harvest.
Relatively speaking, the place where people gossiped has also become depressed.
This matter was lightly forgotten by everyone.
The man above seems to be very busy. He can hear the sound of cars leaving every day, and sometimes he comes back very late.
All kinds of fruits grown on the mountain are also ripe, and there are many cars going up there every day to bring fruits.
It seemed as if suddenly the whole village had entered a busy season.
Except for Zhang Xueqing, there is no land waiting for her to harvest. At the moment, the radishes and cabbages in the yard are not yet mature.
A boring person will always take advantage of everyone's busy time to go out sketching with her drawing board on her back, and her life will be fulfilling.
When I came back from painting that day, there were three more people at the door of my house. To be precise, they should be an adult and two children.
It was Pangman, Yunmu and his son who also had no means to capture them.
"Come in quickly. Why didn't you call ahead?"
Zhang Xueqing opened the door, put the two dogs in a cage, and pulled the person into the house.
"I didn't expect you to be away from home. It's the autumn harvest holiday, so I just wanted to see if there was anything I could do to help."
Zhang Xueqing took out a bank card from the bag where she kept her ID and handed it to Pang Manyun.
"What kind of work can I do here? I don't know how to grow some of it. I can just hire someone to collect it when the time comes. You don't have to worry about it. Here, I'll give this to you."
Pang Manyun took the bank card and looked puzzled.
Zhang Xueqing dragged Yin Fei to apply for this card in the city. She brought it to Yin Fei when she came last time. She thought she would give it to her when she had more time, but she didn't expect that she would come here on her own, so she saved a lot. thing.
"This is a student subsidy I found for Dabao. It is 1,500 yuan a month until the child reaches 18 years old."
The money was left by Xu Dazhuang, and according to some calculations, it should last until the child is 18 years old. This love is too heavy and too pure, and she does not want to be involved.
Pang Manyun clenched his bank card, trembling so much that he could not speak. He stood up and was about to kneel down to Zhang Xueqing, but Zhang Xueqing helped him up.
"You don't have to be like this. I didn't provide the money, and I didn't use the legs to run. I just talk. I don't dare to take such a big favor from you."
"Quickly, thank you auntie quickly."
Pang Manyun pushed Dabao, and Zhang Xueqing looked at the child in surprise.
"Thank... thank... auntie."
Although it was very stiff, Zhang Xueqing was even happier when Dabao could speak.
"Dabao is great. Come here and give me a hug. It's great. You and your son will get better and better in the future."
Zhang Xueqing finally decided that it would be good to let Pang Manyun never know the truth. Without missing her, it would be easier to start over.
Just let Xu Dazhuang disappear from her life little by little.
Thanks to Pang Manyun, Zhang Xueqing finally ate dumplings stuffed with cabbage. Not to mention, they were much more delicious than the quick-frozen dumplings.
It feels so comfortable to have food without using any hands.
"From now on, just call me if you want to eat anything. I'll come and cook it for you. Don't mess around with it yourself. I've also steamed some buns for you. Just take them out of the refrigerator and heat them up when you want to eat them."
The feeling of being cared for warmly surrounded Zhang Xueqing. She hadn't felt this way for a long time, and she couldn't bear to let their mother and son leave.
In the end, Zhang Xueqing called a car and came up to pick up the mother and son. There was no other way, Pang Manyun had to walk back with the child.
It took more than an hour to walk back. She had to hold the younger one, and the older one was only 7 years old. How could the child bear to walk such a long way?
Not wanting them to come here in vain, Zhang Xueqing brought back all the dishes that she had collected a while ago. She really couldn't eat too much of these things.
It seems that one's food is destined to have no soul and no taste. If you eat casually, you will be full.
The days passed so quickly, and light snow began to fall outside the window.
This was the first year Zhang Xueqing came back and she encountered the first snow. She couldn't get out of the house, so she could only lie on the window and watch the snowflakes flying outside the window quietly.
A car slowly stopped outside Zhang Xueqing's courtyard. Meng Fansen jumped out of the car and pushed the door directly into the courtyard.
Seeing the person lying on the window, she raised her hand and pointed at the car behind her. Zhang Xueqing looked over and saw that half of the car was filled with firewood.
She has been missing for a few days. Did she get firewood for her?
