Standing alone at the door, I could hear others humiliating me.

Mu Wan'er still didn't turn around and leave. She promised the old man Huqiu that if she wanted to wait here for a reply, she would definitely do it.

Not long after, Li Er's father walked around the screen wall and came to the threshold with laborious or perhaps apologetic steps.

Mu Wan'er had dried her eyes long before the old man came, and there was no strange look on her face.

She just waited quietly for the old man in fox fur to give his reply.

"Miss Mu, the old man went to discuss it with his wife. My family said that the house has been tense recently. Many relatives are coming in the past two days, and it's really hard to get along. I disappoint you."

"No, Uncle Li, thank you, I'm the one troubling you."

Mu Wan'er walked down the steps, walked to the level ground in two steps, and then turned around. Wanfu was still faultless, well-behaved, clean, and without any sloppiness.

"Uncle Li, I'm leaving, please close the door."

After greeting the old man again, Mu Wan'er turned and walked towards the village path.

The old man behind her shook his head gently as he watched the girl's figure gradually disappearing, and closed the heavy wooden door helplessly and silently.

Mu Wan'er walked alone on the path, bowing her head and saying nothing for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, but she suddenly showed her face, as if she was no longer disturbed by such foreign objects before.

The most important person to her is Shen Zui. What does it mean to be aggrieved for him?

Thinking of the person she loves, a smile gradually appeared on the girl's face.

After leaving Li's house, it took half a cup of tea to arrive at Zhou's house.

The Zhou family is in the cloth business, although it is not like a prestigious family in a big county that makes a lot of money every day. But in these ten miles and eight villages, they are still considered rich.

Mu Wan'er stepped forward and knocked on the door. This time it was different from the Li family. Almost as soon as Mu Wan'er put down her hand, the wooden door, which was beautifully decorated and even covered with copper nails, opened immediately.

A man came out, wearing a dark red jacket and a soft-top hat. He put his hands behind his back, pulled down the corners of his mouth, and looked back and forth at Mu Wan'er with his eyes.

"Uncle, I am Mu Wan'er who is staying at Granny Chen's house in this village. I take the liberty of disturbing you."

The man changed his position from holding his hands behind his back to holding his chest in front of him. He still didn't say a word, with a rather arrogant look in his eyes.

"I wonder if Mr. Zhou is here? I want to discuss with him about renting a remote and quiet house for a few days."

After hearing this, the man in the coat finally said, "My master doesn't care about this little money, so hurry up and leave."

Mu Wan'er did not back down because the other party was rude.

She took two steps forward and said, "I know Mr. Zhou doesn't like the money, but can you please inform me. I heard that Mr. Zhou is usually very charitable, so I think he will agree."

"I told you, where did this little girl get all this nonsense?"

The man in the coat became impatient. After all, it was cold outside, so how could he feel comfortable eating and drinking by the fire in the wing room?

"Please inform me, thank you."

Mu Wan'er spoke sincerely.

The person in charge was annoyed after thinking about it, and didn't look at Mu Wan'er. He just stretched out his palm and rubbed his thumb and index finger back and forth a few times.

Mu Wan'er naturally knew what it meant, it was asking for money. But she didn't have many coins in total, so she borrowed them from Granny Chen.

Building a house is already very expensive, and renting a new house also costs money. Where can I have spare money to give to the people in front of me?

The man stretched out his arm and didn't notice any movement for a long time. He turned his head with a very ugly look on his face.

"If you don't have money, get out of here!"

After saying that, he stepped over the threshold without looking back, kicked the wooden door shut with his feet, and then there was a heavy lock sound.

"The King of Hell is easy to meet, but the kid is difficult to deal with. Sure enough, it's the same everywhere."

Mu Wan'er was in a low mood, muttering in her mouth, without looking at the road, and walked towards her mother-in-law's hut with her head lowered.

"Sister, what were you doing at Zhou's house just now? I heard people said that you also went to Li's house? The old couple were having a lively quarrel over there."

This voice was so familiar. Mu Wan'er looked up and saw that it was her sister-in-law Xu Shan, who was carrying a bamboo basket with a lot of vegetables in it.

Mu Wan'er didn't want to lie, so she nodded in response to her previous question, "Sister-in-law Xu, you went home very early today."

"Hey, there's nothing going on in the fields. I'm not interested in Carpenter Li's craftsmanship. I chatted with Granny Chen for a while and then I'm going home."

At this time, she pulled Mu Wan'er to her side, looked around, and whispered, "Why are you looking for these two families?"

Fortunately, Wan'er had discussed it with Shen Zui in advance, saying that Shen Zui had an old illness and felt uncomfortable at this time of year. He had to be quiet if he didn't feel the slightest bit of wind or cold.

Grandma Chen's thatched hut is good, but a little worn out. Although the air leakage is small, it can't hold much.

So I want to rent a clean house outside, recuperate for a few days and then go back.

After hearing these words to Sister-in-law Xu Shan, the plump woman opposite felt relieved and said, "Looking at you, it must be impossible. But these two families are the only ones in the village that may have vacant houses, so you might as well ask the right person. ”

Mu Wan'er was still in a bad mood and didn't know where to go.

Suddenly Xu Shan said: "Isn't my house ready-made? Although it has been a long time, it is Carpenter Li's craftsmanship anyway, and it has not cracked or leaked at all."

"Isn't this bad? Sister-in-law, where do you live?"

Wan'er's first thought was not whether doing this would bring a bad reputation to herself and Shen Zui, but to truly consider others.

They are all old ladies, how come Xu Shan doesn't understand.

Mu Wan'er has her own thoughts, and Xu Shan also has her own personal considerations. In any case, her reputation is indeed not good in the village.

So she continued: "It depends on Mr. Shen's intention. After all, there are many disputes in front of the widow."

"No, Sister Xu, you are worrying too much. I'm afraid you won't have a place to live."

"That's okay. I can go to Grandma Chen's place to lay the floor. It only takes two or three days."

In fact, Wan'er didn't want to agree to it. She knew that Shen Zui always reported good things but not bad things.

He said it was nothing serious, but there was a problem.

He said he could last for half a month, and it would only take a few days.

So how could she not be impatient?

But she couldn't be so selfish. Granny Chen treated her and Shen Zui like her own children.

When he was attacked by the evil dragon, he was in the most desolate state and was living in the countryside of Huangting Kingdom. The road ahead is confusing, and the men who are interested in her pursuit are chasing her. She is drunk and seriously injured. This is the most difficult moment.

Granny Chen didn't have any doubts about the two of them and let them into the house. It provides hot water, food, and allows them to stay with peace of mind while being penniless.

Mu Wan'er would not dare to forget such deep affection and kindness.

So no matter what, if Shen Zui wants to go to Xu Shan's sister-in-law's house, and her sister-in-law wants to come to the thatched cottage, she must discuss it with her mother-in-law and let her decide.

"Sister-in-law, I will go home and talk to my mother-in-law and Shen Zui first. If they both agree, I will tell you."

"Okay, then you go slower on the road, I'm going home too."

"Sister-in-law, walk slowly."
