Chapter 0016 War Rumors

Rumors stop at the wise, but only at the wise.

As for the women and idle men in the village, Zheng Changsheng did not think that they were wise men.

People misunderstand the mother. As a son, of course he has to come forward to clarify.

But how to clarify is a science. If you go up and explain to others, you will definitely be criticized, and it may be even worse for your mother's reputation. The accusation of mistreating or even abusing Xiao Qi will be placed on her mother.

As soon as the door of the Zheng family courtyard opened, Xiao Qi was wearing new clothes, a red headband, and embroidered shoes with thousand-layer soles. She was holding a handful of melon seeds in her hand, knocking them while walking.

The young master asked her to deliver two taels of sesame oil to the old patriarch's house. She smelled it and found it smelled really good. It was brought by his wife Li Xiuying from Hu Ji Oil Shop in the market.

As the name suggests, sesame oil is the oil squeezed from flax, that is, sesame oil. It is most refreshing when mixed with a small cold dish.

The old patriarch's home is at the west end of the village, while Zheng Changsheng's home is at the east end of the village. You have to pass through the main road in the village to get there.

Xiaoqi didn't know what was going on, and she attracted the envy of many people along the way.

"Tsk, tsk, this little girl is so pretty. She really depends on her clothes, not her gold."

"You can pull it off. She is a well-born girl. Even your sloppy yellow-haired girl looks ugly in these clothes."

"Yeah, I'll fight for you."

As the saying goes, what you hear is false, and what you see is true.

Have you ever seen a girl who has been treated harshly, who is white and tender, dressed in sleek clothes, and kept clean?

They are dressed more beautifully than the young masters and ladies of the landlord's family. How can we start talking about harsh treatment?

But then there was that stupid person who said, "Tsk, maybe someone put it on deliberately for you to see. What will it look like when you get home?"

"Yeah?"

New rumors started again, and Zheng Changsheng was puzzled, why do these people love to gossip so much?

Zheng Changsheng invited many friends to play at home. When playing games, Xiaoqi was of course indispensable.

One day, two days, three days, every day

Li Xiuying was obedient to her son's words at this time. As long as her son spoke, she would agree to it. Watching her son grow up happily, she felt happy.

Man said that even if her son was playing with his friends in the yard, she would not say anything even if he demolished the yard.

Zheng Changsheng was abducted this time, which brought a huge shadow to her.

So as long as her son is within her sight, she can do whatever she wants. But if she can't find him for a moment, she will become extremely panicked.

However, my son is still sensible and is not just playing around.

Instead, he got up early to study. When he was tired from studying, he played with his friends for a while in the afternoon.

Children are the most innocent and cute, and they can't lie.

When I get home, the adults will definitely ask similar questions about where I went to play.

As a result, those previous rumors were disproven.

They don't know what the purpose of the good deeds is. As long as what happens in the Zheng family, they will talk about it.

For example, Zheng Changsheng's family killed a chicken,

"The Zheng family's cooking skills are really good. The fragrance can spread for ten miles."

Another example is that Li Xiuying brought back some silk and satin from the market. This is what her son said she read in a book given by the old patriarch. It said that underwear and quilts are made of silk and satin, which is soft, breathable and not harmful to the body.

In fact, Zheng Changsheng couldn't stand the burlap underwear, which made his body hurt.

But the gossip in the village came again, "Oh, his aunt, do you know that the wife of the Zheng family has raised a child bride for her biological brother?"

"That girl named Xiao Qi? How is that possible? That's the girl, the one who served the baby brother."

"You don't know this, don't pretend to be naive if you say you are stupid. I heard that the wife of the Zheng family even pulled the silk and satin back to make a quilt. She is preparing to consummate the marriage to her son."

"Ah? How old are you when you give birth to a brother to consummate the marriage? Don't tell me, this is really a strange news. The third sister-in-law doesn't know yet, so I have to nag her."

Zheng Changsheng wanted to cry but had no tears. What the hell is going on? These people are talking without thinking.

The next day, Zheng Changsheng, Goudan, and Laosan took the big yellow dogs for a walk in the village.

He deliberately loosened a few buttons, revealing the newly made silk underwear underneath. Not to mention, my mother's craftsmanship is really good, and the fabric is also comfortable, and the whole body is transparent when worn.

He showed off and told the villagers what he had said to his mother before, intentionally or unintentionally.

Oh, it turns out that the wife of the Zheng family loves her son, so this rumor will naturally be put to rest.

But the idle men and women in the village surrounded him again

Zheng Changsheng vowed never to wear crotchless pants again.

No one else, and I don’t know who said it, if you touch the child prodigy’s little bird, you can imbue your child with talent.

He crossed his legs and fled home in embarrassment, so fast that the big yellow dog couldn't catch up.

Just touch it, but some people use it to pull it, and it becomes swollen.

Finally, this incident alarmed the old patriarch.

In a rage, the old patriarch Zheng Sanwang saw the idle men and women and ran over to them, kicking and beating them.

“It’s all fucking free”

But no, that's absolutely right, it's just leisure.

In the countryside at the end of October, there were no entertainment activities, no other way to earn money to support the family, and no farming work. What else could they do together except for the Zhang family and the Li family?

Alas, you are ignorant, guarding the golden mountain and starving.

The chrysanthemums that can be found all over the mountains and plains can be picked, dried or roasted in the shade, or smoked, steamed and sun-dried. Selling them to Chinese medicine pharmacies is also a good income.

In order to reduce the number of idlers and gossips in the village, Zheng Changsheng begged his mother to come forward to find the old patriarch.

Ask the old man to organize everyone to go up the mountain to pick chrysanthemums, and then buy them for his family.

At first, Li Xiuying was not willing to do anything. Although her family had some money, it was saved for her son. How could she buy such a useless thing as Juhua?

When Zheng Changsheng showed his mother the book given by the old patriarch, Li Xiuying was moved.

The medicinal effects of chrysanthemum recorded in the book are: dispersing wind and clearing away heat, calming the liver and improving eyesight, clearing away heat and detoxifying, making it an excellent Chinese medicinal material.

Li Xiuying looked at her son blankly, holding her son's little face and chewing on it.

Haha, my son is indeed a child prodigy, and this has given the family another way to make money.

It is said that books have their own houses of gold. This is true. Reading is different if you are knowledgeable. Wild chrysanthemums that usually rot in the ground can be sold for money. How would ordinary people know this?

Li Xiuying did what she said. She put on a mule cart and went to Jinning County. The best quality wild chrysanthemum was ten copper coins a pound, and she negotiated a price with the shopkeeper Qi of Xuanji Pharmacy.

On the way back, Li Xiuying's eyes gleamed when she saw the chrysanthemums all over the mountains and plains. These are all money! These are all the wife's books that will praise her son in the future!

My son is going to be a big shot in the future and he will be a good person.

You can't be careless about your marriage. No matter what, you have to marry a lady from an official family, right?

What can I do if I don’t have any money? Wouldn’t it be a joke to let my daughter-in-law’s family take the blame?
