Song Jinyin looked calm, but the face of the person in front of her changed, and his face suddenly fell.
People in the village don't have many choices when looking for wives. Most of them come from neighboring villages. Occasionally, there are girls bought back after disaster years.
Girls in the county would not look into the village. Now that such a pretty girl came and had contact with Dr. Li, the woman naturally made up her mind.
But now that she heard such a sentence, even though she was very discerning, she was stunned on the spot, her eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe it.
"aunt?"
Song Jinyin called her with a smile, but she immediately lost her composure.
"You, you actually...could your head of the house be the coachman following Dr. Li?"
"Of course not. Auntie, you still want to propose marriage to Brother Wang?"
"Who wants to meddle in that business?"
Realizing that he had made a joke, the visitor became a little angry and looked down on Song Jinyin in front of him even more, and spoke with a bit of yin and yang.
"I'm pregnant and running around, dressing up like a girl... There are so many people in our village, but no one is like you."
After the woman said this, she thought of her youngest son.
Although her son had a bit of a bad temper, he was taller and more powerful, and had a lot of kisses. As a mother, she was partial to her son, so she naturally set her sights higher.
Now I just feel that the girl in front of me is still attractive, but I didn't expect that she actually has a baby.
And come to think of it, this girl doesn't look like she has ever been married. She has to live and eat with the coachman. She looks like an immoral master!
"I'm doing very well, ma'am."
Song Jinyin blinked, and the hand covering her lower abdomen moved slightly, with a gentle smile, "I'm not afraid of hard times, but I'm an aunt. I worry about others like this on weekdays, so I'm afraid it will be hard."
"She has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. The girl got pregnant without even talking about the marriage. It's really..."
"Who said she didn't say kiss?"
Li Wanqing hurried back to the yard, frowned, and looked impatiently at the woman in front of her who was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out.
Although she built a wooden house here, except for coming to collect things a few times a year, she rarely came here on weekdays. Among the villagers she saw, only a few familiar households interacted with her.
She has never had much of a good temper, as she made up her mind at the first glance.
"Auntie, you come to me to buy medicine? If you want to buy medicine, you have to pay for it. I have all kinds of medicine. If not, just go back. My sister wants to take care of herself and I can't take care of you."
"Bah, bah, bah, who wants to buy medicine!"
The woman came back to her senses and didn't want to stay any longer. She turned around immediately, and as she walked away, she was glad that her son didn't come over to see anyone first.
If you really fall in love with her, I'm afraid you'll only end up in a mess, and you won't be able to get away with it.
But as soon as the woman stepped out of the small fenced courtyard, her steps suddenly stopped, and then she rushed in eagerly and went straight to the stove.
Song Jinyin couldn't help but laugh when she saw her hurriedly taking back the two eggs, turning her head to look at her with disgust, and then leaving in a hurry.
It's okay to take it away so that she doesn't have to find a way to return it.
"How long has this woman been here?"
Li Wanqing didn't look back at Song Jinyin until the figure of the visitor completely disappeared. Seeing that she didn't care, Li Wanqing felt a little relieved.
"It didn't take long. Maybe when he saw that I was a stranger, he became curious and thought of asking around, but he didn't expect to be scared away by me."
"Some people are used to this, so you don't have to pay attention."
Li Wanqing walked into the kitchen carrying things, "But if others ask you in the future, there is no need for you to admit that you are pregnant before you reveal your pregnancy. It is better to let them guess who you are than to point fingers at you behind your back." point."
"I may still be a little worried, but I am not afraid of things like pointing fingers."
Song Jinyin followed her and added firewood to the stove.
Over the years, she has heard many rumors and rumors. These indifferent words that fell on her were the things that hurt her the most, but they are also the things that she cares about least now.
What's more, she was reborn just for the sake of the baby in her belly.
After escaping from there, she had no reason to hide the existence of the child, and she was even less willing to be stared at and looked at as a pretext for a kiss.
She doesn't need anyone else, this child is enough.
Li Wanqing listened to her soft and slightly casual voice and raised her eyes to look over.
The little girl was weak and weak, and it seemed that she really didn't take this to heart.
She raised her eyebrows.
People who are not coy about their temper are quite likable.
"It's better if you don't care. Especially in your current state, don't worry too much. There are idle people around you who don't have much contact with each other. Don't take it to heart. Moreover, they always regard me as a doctor. They know that you are with me. As long as I don't break my heart, they won't do anything to you face to face."
"I know, thank you Miss Wanqing for reminding me."
The heat hit her face. Song Jinyin picked up steamed pancakes and was about to turn around to get the bowl when she suddenly heard a few puffs.
She looked sideways and realized that among the things Li Wanqing had brought back just now, there was an old hen tied up in the big belly.
"This is?"
"Why did this chicken wake up so early?"
Li Wanqing frowned and stepped forward, picked up the chicken and took a look at it, "The drug will make you faint for a short period of time. Fortunately, it was not given to anyone else, otherwise you would have to wake up before you could run far..."
After muttering a few words, Li Wanqing relaxed her brows and turned to look at Song Jinyin with bright eyes, "Miss Jinyin, maybe I need to trouble you, or you can teach me by the side."
"Girl, what are your plans?"
"Stew it and let's eat it tonight."
...
The woman left, cursing all the way.
Not only because of Song Jinyin's look of looking at the good show just now, but more importantly because of her own misunderstanding.
When choosing a wife for his youngest son, he actually chose a pregnant little girl. If the other daughters-in-law at home knew about this, they might laugh at her behind her back!
"mother!"
There was movement on the ridge of the field, interrupting the woman's thoughts. She looked up and saw that it was her youngest son.
"Mom, where are you going with the eggs? Why don't you cook them for your son while dad and the elder brothers are working."
The woman was furious. When she saw her little son in front of her who didn't like to work and was always the first to come back to laze around every day, she immediately became angry and couldn't help but glare at him.
"Eat, eat, eat, just know how to eat! You can't even get a wife!"
"I can't find a wife?"
The man scoffed.
"What's wrong with your son is that those few look down on him! Don't worry, mother, after I pay the carpenter's money and follow the master to the county, I will get you a nice one when I get back! Mother! Just wait and enjoy the happiness!"
The woman was stunned for a moment by what her youngest son said. The depression in her heart finally disappeared, and a smile appeared on her face again.
Her son is tall and big. Although he doesn't like to work very much, a capable person will not stay in the village forever.
She really doesn't like a girl as thin as just now, except for her good-looking face, who wants money but has no money, has a low status, and has no one to rely on in her family!
After thinking about it, the woman happily boiled eggs for her youngest son, and then turned around to find some other village women she had made friends with.
Although Dr. Li said that the new girl got married, who would let a pregnant woman run around after the wedding? I guess there was either discord in the family or he was rejected.
Tsk tsk tsk, no matter how you think about it, it’s a new thing to talk about!
...
The people in the small village had new fun because of Song Jinyin and the others, but I didn't care as they were chatting.
Song Jinyin looked at Li Wanqing who was plucking the feathers of the chicken with a look of astonishment on her face.
"You mean, you caught this chicken at will, and you don't even know whose chicken it belongs to?"
"Ang, it flew out of nowhere, jumped on me, and even pecked me, so I naturally grabbed its neck, but don't worry, there are reliable villagers in this village who I want to receive goods from. When you find it, I'll make up for it with more money, so there won't be any quarrels or quarrels."
Song Jinyin pursed her lips, suddenly tilted her head and said, "Then if there is no relationship you want to maintain here, what kind of chicken are you?"
"If it jumps on me and lets me catch it, it's naturally mine. And if it even pecks me, I've never suffered in vain."
Li Wanqing pulled off the longest hair on the chicken wing, raised her eyes and looked over, her smile a bit unruly and surly.
Only then did Song Jinyin see the girl in front of her clearly, and also saw the word "perverse" shining in her eyes.
Although she had no choice but to see such a rogue and confident woman for the first time, she couldn't help but feel a little strange.
It seems that there is some truth in not being the one who suffers the consequences for nothing.
Zhou Yan'an, who was still in Kyoto City at this time, was not living as leisurely as Song Jinyin and others.
He noticed someone following him.
No matter how he tried to get rid of him, that person would always be like a ghost and find his location again very quickly.
He was no longer worthy of being targeted, so he couldn't think of anyone else besides Pei Yanzhou.
"Master, my wife left a message in the jewelry shop, probably asking you when you will return home."
"Don't respond in the next few days. Mother will naturally know what to expect when the time comes, and she has originally planned to leave the city. She will wait a few days until the heir apparent of the Pei family leaves the capital."
"Yes, Master."
The boy retreated, and the people in the room got up and followed him to the courtyard.
Pei Yanzhou was not an ordinary person, and his secret guards could not reveal their whereabouts easily. Now that he was aware of it, Zhou Yanan felt uneasy.
But no matter what, this time, he couldn't let Song Jinyin be captured again.
No one in the Duke's mansion would protect her. No matter how regretful Pei Yanzhou was, there was no way he would really put a girl who was a maid first.
Moreover, the Pei family and the Xu family seemed to be planning to get married, so he couldn't...
At this moment, Zhou Yanan noticed the darkness in his heart, which completely separated him from his young and chivalrous self.
He is no longer the ambitious young man with a dream of becoming a world leader. He is just an ordinary person with calculation and selfishness mixed with some intolerance.
Just as he wanted to help Song Jinyin escape, there was both pure expectation and consideration that Xu Youyi might marry into the Pei family.
If Pei Yanzhou had Song Jinyin in his backyard, he would not really put his heart into the future concubine.
Song Jinyin will definitely become an obstacle between the two of them.
And he couldn't bear to see Xu Youyi being left out.
Zhou Yanan once fell into a brief confusion because of this, but he also knew that he had said that he must save Song Jinyin and escape.
And only by escaping can he let the selfishness and benevolence in his heart find their respective positions and no longer be in opposition.
