"If it wasn't the man I picked up, he would be the father of my child."
Xing Rui gritted her teeth and said something, but she didn't believe it.
"Silly girl, what are you talking about? Aren't those children of yours picked up by you outside?"
Li Zheng looked at Xing Rui in disbelief.
"I, I, I, I was talking nonsense before. The children are the biological children of me and Liang Sheng. He thought I was stupid and refused to give me the child.
Later, I stole all the children back, and when he got angry, he gambled away all the things in his house, and then came to find us.
When I saw that the child had no father, I took him in."
"This is getting more and more nonsense. If the child is yours, why haven't you seen your belly growing?"
Li Zheng was convinced that Xing Rui was talking nonsense, but Xing Rui didn't care whether he believed it or not.
"I'm fat and fat. Even if I have a big belly, no one will notice.
Don't worry, Li Zheng, our family will not cause any trouble to the village. We are self-reliant and will not drag anyone back."
Li Zheng raised his thick eyebrows and looked at Xing Rui carefully, wondering why this silly thing was different from the past.
Not only did he talk more, his speaking tongue also improved a lot.
And you can't tell at all that this is what a fool can say.
"Silly girl, are you sure you want to keep this man?"
"He is my baby's father. Of course I can't just watch him die outside."
Li Zheng saw that Xing Rui's words were justified, so he had no choice but to give up.
"Okay, as you just said, you must be self-reliant and never cause trouble to the village."
Xing Rui sneered in her heart. She has been working for nothing for the villagers all these years, but she hasn't seen you, the lord Li Zheng, come out to take care of it?
"Don't worry, Mr. Rizheng, as long as others don't bully my three children, my man, and me.
I, Xing Rui, will not look for trouble to cause trouble."
Seeing Li Zheng's brows raised and looking impatient, Xing Rui said what he needed to say again.
"It just so happens that you asked me about my family affairs today, and I made it clear to you.
The three children in my family are all my biological children, and the men are also my biological sons. If anyone dares to say that my children are picked-up bastards or that my man is a wild man, I will slap her in the mouth."
"This is all because of your ability. If you don't have a guilty conscience, are you still afraid of others telling you?"
Li Zheng said something to Xing Rui very rudely.
"I don't care who it is, as long as he bullies my child and makes my child unhappy, then I will beat her."
After Xing Rui said this, she bowed slightly and saluted.
"I'm sorry, Lord Satsuma, I have something else to do so I'll leave first."
Xing Rui had already turned around and walked towards Uncle Wang's house before Li Zheng could speak again.
Li Zheng looked at this arrogant silly girl with both surprise and resentment.
"A fool dares to talk to me like that. He is looking for death."
Shaking his arm vigorously, Satozheng left with his hands behind his back.
When I opened the door of Uncle Wang's house, I saw Aunt Wang coaxing the chickens in the yard.
"Aunt Wang, where are you?"
"Oh, silly girl, come on, come in quickly."
Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang are both very kind to Xing Rui. They always feel angry when they see the villagers bullying the silly girl.
I told the original owner, Silly Mother, many times behind my back not to work for those people, but Silly Mother did not understand good words.
It also broke the hearts of Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang.
Nowadays, people in the village are saying that the stupid girl has become smart, but Aunt Wang still doesn't believe it.
But yesterday she came to see her old man to help take off the adobe, and she also had a vision of Xing Rui today.
"Look, ma'am,"
As soon as Xing Rui walked in, she handed the small clothes in her hand to Aunt Wang to see.
"These are some new little clothes I got. Even the children can't wear them. I think it should be enough to make a few pairs of shoes, right?"
"Ah, where did you girl get such good things? It would be a pity to make shoes."
As soon as Aunt Wang's eyes fell on the soft and smooth silk, she felt very strange.
"I went to the town this morning and rescued the second young master of Mr. Li's wife's family on the way. His family gave me a lot of things.
I think this child can’t wear them at all, so it’s a pity to have them idle. It’s better to make two pairs of shoes to wear.”
Seeing that Aunt Wang liked it very much, Xing Rui hurriedly said again.
"Just in time, aunt, please make a pair for yourself and uncle. There are four small clothes, which should be enough to make four pairs of shoes, right?"
"well!"
Aunt Wang sighed softly, looked at Xing Rui and said,
"Girl, these are good shoes, but they are worn by rich people. How can we poor people wear such shoes?"
"They can wear it, why can't we wear it? Aunt Wang, just make it."
"Silly girl, I don't understand what I mean when I look at you."
Aunt Wang was very affectionate, holding Xing Rui's hand and sitting on two small wooden piers.
"You are a kind-hearted girl. You saved the young master's life, so I don't have much to give you.
But girl, do you know that shoes made of silk are not strong enough for work.
Do you think this is good? I will use these four little clothes to make as many pairs of shoes for you as possible, and then you can take them to the town to sell them.
I exchanged money and bought some pairs of coarse cloth shoes to wear.
Those are the shoes we workers should wear. They are durable and stain-resistant, and they won’t hurt you.”
Xing Rui looked at the shoes in Aunt Wang's hands. The silk should be scratch-resistant.
If you wear it to work in the fields for a day and it will be all scratched up, Aunt Wang is right.
"Okay, Aunt Wang, you can help me make them, but you should keep one pair for yourself.
We don't wear them when we go to the fields, we just feed chickens and ducks at home, and wear them when visiting relatives.
You have been making shoes all your life, you should wear a good pair of shoes on your feet."
"Hahaha...hahaha..."
Aunt Wang smiled and patted Xing Rui's hand with her old hands and said with a smile,
"People say that today's stupid girls are no longer stupid, but I still don't believe it. How come you girl suddenly becomes smart and can talk?"
Xing Rui also smiled awkwardly.
"The stick didn't kill me, but who knows, it ended up opening a passage in my head. Is this probably God's intention?"
"You kid, come and see how your head is hurt."
"It's okay, ma'am. I'm thick-skinned and have recovered a long time ago. You don't have to worry."
Xing Rui looked around and asked,
"Isn't Uncle Wang at home?"
"Oh, he went to the fields. My old habit has returned these days, so I went to work in the fields with your uncle."
"Why didn't uncle call me when he was working?"
Xing Rui asked unhappily, Uncle Wang was like this before, he always did the work at home by himself.
Even at such an old age, I would never call her a silly girl.
Everyone in the village bullies the stupid woman into working, except Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang.
In the past, the silly girl couldn't tell a good person from a good person, but today Xing Rui knows who she should help.
Stand up, she said,
"Auntie, you stay at home to recuperate, and I'll go to the fields to find my uncle."
"Girl, girl, no need, your uncle will be back in a moment. If you have anything to do, please wait for a while..."
