Chapter 8 Bad Models

Xu Lan's three siblings looked more like the Qin family, and they were all as tall as the slender Xu Qingyan. Her body was about 1.6 meters tall. The original owner had already arrived in Yuexin two years ago and should not grow any longer.

My mother, Qin, is particularly beautiful, has fair skin, picturesque eyebrows, elegant manners, petite figure, and speaks with a glutinous southern voice. She is obviously not a countryman. The villagers say behind her that she is a vixen, and maybe she is not from a good background, otherwise why would she follow Xu Qingyan, who "makes black money".

Qin is also very knowledgeable. Several children have learned to write, recognize, draw and draw from her since she was a child. A few years ago, she also guided Gu Wangchen. The villagers also said that she might be a thin horse or a red card in the building. Such people have undergone special training...

The Xu family didn't believe these nonsense. Qin's family was gentle, virtuous, dignified and steady, and they were not a little like the woman in the building. Besides, Xu Qingyan had so much money to redeem the top names. However, these rumors still made Old Mrs. Xu very unhappy and always felt a little disgusted with Qin's family.

Xu Lan has the memory of the original owner and combs her hair very quickly. She combed her hair with a double bun and didn’t have any skin care products at home, so she endured it. Fortunately, there were soap bean trees in the mountains, so she picked up many soap beans and went home, and some people took a bath. Now, if she dared to buy daily necessities that belong to the category of luxury goods, Xu Lanzhou would hit people if she didn’t do it well.

That little violent man, when he has prestige in the future, he must train him well.

Comb your hair and look in the mirror. It is not entirely right to say that the original owner is not at all careful. The original owner may know that he is handsome and wants to clean up decently when he meets Gu Wangchen. But if he leaves the village or enters the mountain, he will be ugly. Not to mention wearing rags, the cloth scarf of the bag head almost covers most of his face.

Xu Lanting got up. After Xu Lan finished washing up, she went to the kitchen to serve rice. The siblings and brothers each had a bowl of wild vegetables and corn paste, and each had a sweet potato. They scooped half of the bowl of batter for Huazi. Xiao Zheng was weak in stomach and ate half of the food, and gave Huazi the rest.

After dinner, Xu Lanting took out an egg from the east room and said, "Brother, let you steam it for your mother."

These two brothers are guarding against her everywhere, and they are hidden in precious things like eggs.

Xu Lanyin went into the kitchen to steam egg custard. Xiao Zhengtai was afraid that she would take it to Gu's house, so she stood at the door of the kitchen as a door god, and kept looking at her vigilantly, which made Xu Lanyin laugh and cry.

After steaming, Xu Lan went to the east house with a basin of water.

At this time, the light was good, and she saw Qin clearly. Qin's face was pale, thin as a handful of bones, and there were a lot of wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, which was completely different from the beautiful and gentle appearance in her memory. Her husband's death and her daughter's prodigality almost defeated her.

The original owner must have not seen the Qin family seriously in the past two years, otherwise how could Xu Lanyin suddenly realize that the Qin family has changed a lot?

Xu Lanyin felt sad and said, "Mom, I was not good before, I shouldn't have done that." Even her eyes turned red. It should be that the original owner's feelings remained in her body. The original owner's love for her family was also sincere, but her mind was blinded by Gu Wangchen.

Qin looked at her and sighed softly, "I'm angry, not only because you sold the land, but also because you are so big that you can't understand people's hearts. You do stupid things, afraid that you will suffer in the future."

Xu Lan was very moved. The original owner did such a bad thing, and she thought that her daughter would be happy. She said, "Mom, no matter what she does in the future, I will discuss with her mother. There is also Gu Wangchen, I know he is unreliable. I have been thinking about these days. He knows the situation in our family. If he is really good to me, how can I let me sell the land stupidly and accept so much money with peace of mind."

Qin was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect that her daughter would have doubts about Gu Wangchen. If a few acres of land really made her daughter see people's hearts clearly, it would not be a bad thing. She sighed again and let her daughter help her sit at the table.

Xu Lan helped her wash her face, rinse her mouth, and then combed her hair smoothly and simply wrapped it in a roll on the back of her head, and tied it with a wooden hairpin.

He helped Qin to sit down at the main hall, and then he went to bring a bowl of egg custard and half a bowl of corn and half a sweet potato to the table.

Qin also wanted Xu Lanting to eat half of the egg custard, but Xiao Zheng was too embarrassed to ask for it and ran to the yard.

After Qin finished eating, he helped her to the house to rest. Xu Lanyin took a large wooden basin to the north end of the village to wash clothes. There was a large shallow sand connecting the Baisha River, where the women in the village were washing clothes.

The morning in the countryside is beautiful, with the rising sun like fire, and the blue sky is so clear that it makes people intoxicated. The green mountains are far away, large areas of green and yellow fields, and the small courtyard behind them... It is strange and poor here, and the relatives are not close to her, but there will always be hope for a good business.

When he arrived by the river, there were already several people washing clothes. Xu Lan walked over and squatted down to wash clothes. The original owner had few friends in the village, and many people didn't like her very much. Especially when the elders scolded the younger generation for being promiscuous or the girls were extroverted, they used her as an example. In the eyes of the villagers, promiscuous people are unforgivable. A girl who only wants men to move things in her parents' house before getting married is not only a pity, but also shameless.

The women were joking and scolding the original owner, saying that Qin and the two little ones were pitiful. When winter came, I wonder if the youngest child could survive...

She didn't care whether she could hear it, but the original owner sold the land and caused public outrage. It turned out that her reputation was already very bad.

Some people still say that if scholar Gu passed the imperial examination and married her, the family would have a good life.

Others did not agree with this statement, saying that the Gu Ma Zi was so stingy and mean, only entering and not leaving, but she would not care about her daughter-in-law's parents' home.

...

It seems that most villagers have seen through Gu Pozi's temperament and are very sympathetic to the Xu family. The original owner was foolishly unable to see clearly, thinking that as long as Gu Wangchen passed the imperial examination and married himself, he would be able to live a better life even without Tiandi's family. Gu Wangchen's thoughts were hidden deep enough that the villagers thought that he was a good young man with knowledge and virtue, completely different from his mother.

Xu Lan pretended not to hear it, and after washing her clothes, she got up and left alone.

When he got home, Xiao Zhengtai sat on a small bench and wrote words on the ground with a stick. He can recognize more than twenty words now, and write his own name. He will practice with a stick on the ground if he has nothing to do.

He didn't know yet that in the eyes of others, he might not be able to survive this winter.

After hanging her clothes, Xu Lanyin combed Xiao Zhengtai two more wovens. His hair was thin, yellow and soft, and he combed it on both sides of his head, like two small rolled chrysanthemums. His face was as white as rice paper. In the sunlight, it was so thin that the blood vessels inside were visible. Because he was too thin, his eyes looked bigger and rounder.

Xu Lanyin held his little face and kissed him twice, and smiled with care, "So beautiful, like a little girl."
