Yun Cuihe looked in the direction of Tian Chunyan with gratitude, "Sister-in-law..."
Tian Chunyan waved her hand, "Stop it, I don't have time to talk to you right now. If I don't scold Sun, I won't dare to go out for three days. My surname will no longer be Tian but Di."
After saying that, she rolled up her sleeves and continued to curse.
Although she didn't like the third child's family being a hindrance in the house before, they are a family after all. People in the house can dislike them no matter how much they dislike them, but it's not okay for outsiders to bully them. This is her principle.
There was a lot of scolding here, and when they were about to start fighting, Li Zheng finally arrived after learning the news.
After Li Zheng learned about the situation here, he first asked everyone to stop scolding, and then looked at the four or five women who were causing trouble.
"Where did you hear these baseless words? There is a severe drought this year. In recent days, every household carries water to grow vegetables. It is normal for the water to dry up. What does it have to do with Xinghe's wife?"
One of them murmured in a low voice, "We have also heard people talk about it like this..."
Lu Jianqi frowned, pointed at those people and said, "Stop making trouble here, everyone should go back to their homes. There is no man at home to entertain? Or there are no children to look after? Why are you so idle?"
After Lu Jianqi said this, the few people who had just started the trouble left angrily.
After those people left, he turned to look at Yun Cuihe and said, "Ms. Yun, although you didn't initiate this matter, it is true that everyone will not be able to live in peace today. If something like this happens again in the future, If you have any rumors, you can tell me first and I will find a way to deal with them."
Yun Cuihe nodded hurriedly and responded verbally, "Hey, I understand."
After Lu Jianqi left, the onlookers also left one after another. Yun Cuihe led the children back home, and suddenly felt her legs were a little weak. Fortunately, Chu Yue had quick eyes and quick hands and stepped forward to support her.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Xingping also hurriedly stepped forward and held Yun Cuihe's other hand, "Mom, are you okay?"
Yun Cuihe waved her hand, "It's okay, maybe I was just too excited."
Chu Yue and Lu Xingping hurriedly helped Yun Cuihe walk into the house, "I know mother wants to stand up for me, but mother's body has not fully recovered yet, so we don't need to take those shrews' words to heart and live a good life. It’s enough to live a good life, they just see our family’s good life and are jealous of us.”
Yun Cuihe sighed, "Oh, isn't it? In the past, when our lives were hard, no one would give us a grain of rice. Now that our lives are better, they are jealous. But what does our family's life have to do with them? What's the relationship?"
"It's just an eyesore. Their eyes hurt."
Hearing Chu Yue's angry words, Yun Cuihe suddenly laughed.
"Then let them continue to feel pain. The more they feel like this, the more we will live a prosperous life."
"That's what mother said."
After helping Yun Cuihe to bed, Chu Yue went out of the house, and while there was still some light in the sky, she hurriedly put away the things she bought today.
She didn't touch the seasonings. She only took out the pork, pork bones and pork knuckles and put them in a basin on top of the water tank. Now that the night was cold, the pork wasn't so easy to spoil. She would take them to the new house to fire tomorrow.
The pig intestines were taken away by Lu Xinghe. He cleaned the pig intestines first, then put several handfuls of plant ash into the pig intestines and rubbed them.
After the two of them finished processing their purchases, it was already dark.
After a hard day, Chu Yue was also very tired and fell asleep soon after lying on the bed. Lu Xinghe thought about what those women said today and couldn't fall asleep.
They say that a lot of people speak, and even if it is such an unfounded statement, if many people say it, it will inevitably become true.
If Nian Cheng continues to be bad, they will definitely think of the little girl.
It's not like the well has been running out of water for a day or two. I've never heard such rumors from the villagers before. Could it be that someone is spreading rumors behind his back?
The more he thought about it, the more likely he felt that this was possible. It seemed that he would have to check where the words came from tomorrow.
Just as he was lost in thought, the little girl next to him suddenly hugged him tightly, her eyes still closed, with a look of fear on her face.
This little girl is having a nightmare.
Lu Xinghe couldn't help but find it funny, "I was quite brave when I beat people today. I actually went to the Yamen. Do you think you are scared now?"
Although he said this, his hands gently patted Chu Yue's back again and again until he himself fell asleep.
…
The next day, Lu Xingping went to Aunt Lin's house early in the morning and borrowed a cart. The family put the pots, pans, and condiments they bought yesterday on the cart and pushed it toward the new house.
When passing the old house, Chu Yue shouted towards the house, "Master, we are going to the new house, do you want to come with us?"
"Hey, here we come."
Zhang Zheng came out of the house and followed the group to the new house. When he saw the blue brick house in front of him, he was slightly stunned for a moment.
"When I came yesterday, I was wondering which house in the village this was, but I didn't expect it to be your house."
In this village, brick and tile houses are rare, but this girl's house still has some wealth.
Chu Yue smiled and said, "It's a pity that this house has just been repaired and it still has to be empty for a few days, otherwise Master can live in the new house directly."
Zhang Zheng waved his hand, "I don't care about this. As I said before, it's okay if you stutter."
Yesterday, Xu didn't know that there would be more than one person eating at home. He only got a bowl of porridge, but obviously a bowl of porridge could only fill his teeth. He got hungry when it was getting dark, but he stayed hungry just because he didn't want to trouble others. Until this morning.
Chu Yue said with an apologetic face, "I wronged Master last night. Once the things are unloaded, I will make food for Master."
The main reason is that there were too many people in the old house yesterday, otherwise she would have set a small stove for the master.
Master Liu and Wu Yong, who were sleeping in the new house, also got up early and could go home after finishing only the last bit of work today.
Master Liu was fine, he could get his wages after the work was done, but Wu Yong was quite reluctant to part with it.
Although Lu Xinghe was on guard against him these days, he was still able to glance at Chu Yue from a distance. After he left, it would be difficult to see him again.
Because Lu Xinghe had something on his mind, he placed his things and pushed the trolley out. Wu Yong saw Lu Xinghe leaving, and after talking to his master, he went to the kitchen.
Chu Yue, who was putting things away, was slightly startled, "Wu Yong, why are you in the kitchen?"
Wu Yong chuckled and scratched the back of his head. Facing Chu Yue, he didn't know what to say for a moment. After a long while, he choked out a sentence, "Can I help you?"
Chu Yue shook her head, "I can handle it here alone, or you should go and help Master Liu."
Wu Yong did not leave. He bit his lip and continued to ask, "Um...is Lu Xinghe nice to you?"
Although I knew what I was asking was nonsense, I still wanted to hear the answer from her mouth.
