Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

Xu Wanning was about to retort, when she caught sight of someone walking quickly out of the corner of her eye, and immediately made a gesture as if she was about to cry.

She wiped the non-existent tears at the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, and said with each twitch, "I thought what I said at the gate of the Educated Youth Center that day was clear enough, and many aunts heard it at the time. Why did it get into Aunt Zhang's mouth? , but it’s all my fault? It’s my fault that I’m not from Dajiang Village, so I paid the wrong amount after all.”

Mother Lin was used to seeing the original person's arrogant and domineering appearance. Seeing Xu Wanning sobbing now, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

She pulled Xu Wanning behind her with a strong tug, blocking the front with her not-so-forgiving body, and stared at Aunt Zhang fiercely.

"Xu Zhiqing married Lin An a few years ago and gave birth to two children. They are already from our Dajiang Village. From the old Zhang family, next time you say that Xu Zhiqing is not from Dajiang Village, I will Let Lao Lin talk to your boss!"

"Aunt Zhu." Xu Wanning poked her head out from behind Mother Lin and greeted the village chief's wife.

The village chief's wife nodded to her, and then said to Aunt Zhang and the women around her: "I can explain to Xu Zhiqing that there is a misunderstanding about selling children."

"Xu Zhiqing suffered a massive hemorrhage when she gave birth to Yaomei. Jianye and the others sent her to the town hospital overnight to rescue her. Dachun and Yaomei were the children she gave birth to at the risk of her own life. What mother would be willing to sell her own child?"

"This matter ends here. I don't want to hear it from anyone else. If Lao Lin finds out, he will inevitably have to talk to your boss!"

The village chief's wife revealed the matter in a few words. Upon seeing this, Aunt Zhang could only return disappointed.

When she was far away, she muttered to the mother-in-law beside her: "If I had known that things were like this, I shouldn't have accepted the two cents. I didn't say anything about the fact that it didn't work out, and it also caused a scandal. Even the village chief's wife Everyone is offended!"

"Who says it's not? But then again, the person who asked us to deliver the message seems to have no children. Naturally, he doesn't know how important children are to a mother."

On this side, the village chief's wife said to Xu Wanning: "Xu Zhiqing, look at the fuss this has caused..."

"Aunt Zhu, it's not your fault. You have your mouth on those people. Can you stop them one by one?" Xu Wanning sighed, "Although I don't mind explaining my innocence many times after being wronged, but Well, this matter is quite sensitive. If it gets spread and the leaders hear it..."

Xu Wanning didn't say all the rest, but the village chief's wife could understand what she meant.

"Don't worry, Xu Zhiqing, I will talk to Lao Lin carefully. Try to catch the person who is gossiping behind his back!"

Xu Wanning breathed a sigh of relief.

In the book, this scene was briefly mentioned. It was precisely because there was a hand behind the scenes that accelerated the tragedy of the original body.

Of course, she deserved the fate that the original person ended up with.

However, this body has been fused by Xu Wanning, so all uncertain factors that will affect her future development should be nipped in the cradle as soon as possible.

As for the people spreading the rumors behind the scenes, there are only a few of them. No matter who they are found out, Xu Wanning will not be surprised.

After saying goodbye to Aunt Zhu, Xu Wanning helped Mother Lin go home.

When she turned around, she caught a glimpse of green flashing behind the big banyan tree out of the corner of her eye.

She narrowed her eyes and asked Mother Lin, "Mom, what are you doing out there so early in the morning?"

Nowadays, the weather is cold and freezing, and there is no life in the fields. Most people are staying at home and trying not to go out unless nothing happens.

Firstly, it’s too cold, and secondly, if you do less exercise, you can conserve your energy and make it less likely to get hungry.

Hearing this, Mother Lin sighed heavily, her tone full of guilt.

"I originally thought about going out to change some cotton so that I could make you a new cotton-padded jacket, but I didn't expect that I didn't get the cotton, and instead I made myself a mess."

Xu Wanning didn't expect this to be the reason why Lin's mother, who had difficulty with her legs and feet, went out, and her heart immediately warmed.

"Mom, you don't have to go through so much trouble. In the next two days, my parents' package should be sent. I told my mother when I wrote last time that I needed some cotton, and she would definitely send it to me."

Hearing this, Mother Lin subconsciously wanted to say something, but after seeing the slight smile hanging on Xu Wanning's lips, she didn't say anything.

Unknowingly, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned to the yard.

Lin An had just put five bowls of noodles on the kang, and when he saw the two people coming back, he said, "Eat on the kang, it's warm."

Mother Lin took off her cotton-padded jacket, which was almost frozen to the point of freezing, and subconsciously served a small bowl of noodles.

As soon as she stretched her hand into the air, Xu Wanning quickly stuffed a large bowl into her palm.

"Mom, eat a big bowl."

As she said that, she lowered her head and ate the noodles.

After a delay, the noodles became a bit lumpy and the texture was not as good as when it was freshly cooked, but the taste was still worthy of praise, as can be seen from the way Dachun and Yaomei devoured it.

For a while, the only sound that could be heard in the small house filled with heat was the sound of noodles being sucked.

In such a cold winter season, it has a unique flavor.

After eating, Lin An naturally put away the bowls and chopsticks.

"You've cooked, I'll wash the dishes."

"It's okay, I..."

Mother Lin held Xu Wanning's wrist and interrupted what she had not finished saying, "Let him wash it. His skin is rough and his flesh is thick, so he is not afraid of the cold."

Xu Wanning had no choice but to give up, but still warned Lin An when she turned around: "Add more firewood to the stove and heat some hot water."

"Ah."

Mother Lin watched the interaction between the two, smiling with satisfaction, and quickly took out the cloth that Xu Wanning had pulled back.

"This one is bright in color and has enough cloth. It's just right to make you some clothes."

"This piece of cloth is used to make clothes for Dachun and Yaomei. I want the navy blue one."

Mother Lin frowned: "The color is too light for children, so it gets dirty easily."

Xu Wanning smiled and said: "It's okay, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so dress festively."

Hearing this, Mother Lin said nothing more and started cutting cloth.

Yaomei and Dachun didn't even dare to show off. The brother and sister looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe that the new clothes actually had their own value!

Xu Wanning caught the micro-expressions of the two children, feeling distressed and a little happy at the same time.

She was about to amuse the two children when she heard someone knocking on the door.

Mother Lin put down the cloth in her hand and dragged her injured leg down the kang: "I'll go take a look."

Xu Wanning hurriedly held her down: "I'd better go."

Finally, the plaster had some effect. I didn't hear Mother Lin's suppressed cry of pain in the past two nights. Don't make the leg problem worse because of such a trivial matter.

As soon as Xu Wanning opened the door of the main room, she bumped into Lin An who had finished washing the dishes.

"Going out?"

Xu Wanning pointed to the door: "There's someone knocking on the door. I'll go take a look."

"It's cold, I'll go."
