A noble嫡女 (legitimate daughter of a high-ranking official) is framed and falls to the borderlands, losing her memory and becoming a farmer's wife. Su Nanxi arrives with a space (a mystical ...
Knowing that Chen Ahua would be coming at noon, Su Nanxi specially prepared brown sugar water for her, adding some things that were suitable for Chen Ahua at this time.
Chen Ahua was unaware that the Liang family had someone helping the Mo family inspect their cornfields, and she had also heard that the Mo family provided the Liang family with very lavish meals, including sweet soup. She was quite envious of this!
So she thought it would be the same this time. She helped look after the cornfield and chili field, and the Mo family gave her the same sweet soup to drink. The Mo family was kind-hearted!
Without any hesitation, she accepted it, saying, "Okay, thank you, mute mother!"
Su Nanxi was about to turn back when she heard this, and paused for a moment. "You can call me Su Su, that's what everyone calls me. If you can't change it, it's okay, call me whatever you want!"
Chen Ahua nodded, paused for a moment, and then took the bamboo bowl that Su Nanxi had given her and headed towards the field!
As she walked and thought, she suddenly felt happy!
If she's allowed to call her Su Su, does that mean the mute girl also considers her a close friend?
She heard the Mo family members all calling the mute Su Su!
Thinking about it this way, Chen Ahua smiled, and she could also call Su Su affectionately!
Su Su! Su Su!
That sounds so good!
After she drank the sugar water, she was so moved that she burst into tears.
That wasn't some kind of herbal tea or beverage. She wasn't really stupid. It was indeed sweet soup, but it wasn't the kind that the Liang family drank!
The Liang family members were also curious and asked her what she was drinking, noting that it smelled like medicine!
What doesn't she understand?
This sweet soup was specially prepared for her; it's not the kind that everyone else has!
Huh? Why does the sugar water taste even sweeter when the tears fall into it?
Uncle Liang and Aunt Liang understood immediately, and felt very warm inside. The Mo family is so kind!
The fact that the Mo family didn't become arrogant and look down on them, these peasants, just because they had become wealthy is truly remarkable!
Many people become arrogant and domineering once they have money.
They need to put in a lot more effort and do their jobs well; they can't afford to slack off!
Otherwise, it would be a disservice to the Mo family for that meal!
So many people in the village want to come, but the Mo family hasn't said anything. If they don't do a good job, the Mo family might replace them!
So no matter what, we should do our best to do all the work we are supposed to do and leave a good impression so that they will be the first people we think of if there is any good work to do next time!
The Liang family had heard a little about Chen Ahua's situation. After all, they lived in the same village, and they felt a bit pressured when Chen Ahua suddenly came to watch over the cornfield with them.
Although Chen Ahua said they would work to pay off their debts, they still felt a sense of crisis!
Su Nanxi didn't care. As long as she did what she was supposed to do, that was fine. If she didn't do it well, sorry, she really knew how to replace her!
There were indeed many people in the village who wanted to help watch over the cornfield. It was such a large area, halfway up the mountain, and they were all thinking of having a few people watch over it so they could get a free meal. But the Mo family didn't accept any offers.
In the afternoon, everyone returned from work and, hearing the village chief's familiar gong-beating, gradually gathered at the usual spot.
Everyone was a little confused. Why were they suddenly gathered again? Had something big happened?
Those who arrived first stood under the big tree and started discussing. Since not everyone had arrived yet, and they were just idling around anyway, they might as well chat for a bit!
Since we're all acquaintances, there's no need to be reserved when chatting. Feel free to boast as much as you can!
"Hey, have you heard? It seems that Wenying from the Mo family has been divorced! Didn't you notice that she's been staying at the Mo family for a long time?"
"Don't talk nonsense! I haven't heard a single word about it. If you spread rumors, the Mo family might overhear and you'll be in big trouble! Wenying is just back for a short stay. Who has ever been allowed to take all the children away? Nonsense!"
"Hey! You don't believe me? Seriously! I went to town to sell sweet potato leaves and overheard people talking about it. I specifically went to ask, and although they didn't give me much detail, the information matched Wenying's perfectly! Didn't she marry into that Chenjiachong family? It's most likely her!"
"You're just guessing! I'm not telling you! If it's not true, wouldn't that be really awkward!"
"Sigh! This person is really something! If you don't believe it, someone else will! Auntie, let me tell you, Mo Wenying really has been divorced and sent back to her parents' home! She hardly dares to go out now. Although she greets us when she sees us, she avoids our eyes and doesn't dare to look us in the eye. Isn't that because she's guilty?"
"That's right. She hardly ever goes out, and when she does, she's always quiet, working with her head down, and doesn't like to talk to people. It's like she's afraid of people talking to her! Could she really have been divorced? What should we do then? It must be because she didn't do well. She doesn't serve her in-laws, doesn't treat her sister-in-law well, and doesn't know how to cherish her husband! Humph! She probably thinks she's become arrogant because her family is successful, but she never expected to be divorced!"
"Yes! I've heard about it too. Is it true? If it is, we can't let her stay in the village. It'll really affect marriage prospects in our village! If word gets out, our village will be greatly affected. Everyone will think that all the girls in our village are so unruly, willful, and ignorant! Who will dare to marry a girl from our village in the future? It's not easy for the girls in our village to have increased their value. We can't let her ruin everything!"
"Yeah! People from other villages want to marry girls from our village now. They think our girls are skillful, kind-hearted, and lucky! I heard from Er Gouzi that many people want to marry his daughter! We haven't heard of anyone in our village being divorced yet, so we can't break that precedent! If she gets divorced, that's none of our business, but she can't keep living at her parents' house. It will ruin the feng shui of her parents' house and wash away their good fortune! And everyone in our village will suffer as a result!"
"Yes! This concerns the rise and fall of our entire village! We must talk to Zhou Yuqing. If our daughter has really been divorced, we need to find her a place to live as soon as possible, or else she should remarry! As long as she doesn't live in our village!"
"Would the Mo family kick their daughter out? She has several children with her. Where would they go? Their lives would be difficult! That's their business. Let them handle it however they want. It doesn't bother us anyway!"
"What do you mean it doesn't bother us? What kind of talk is that? She's a divorced woman, which is a disgrace in itself. She shouldn't have gone back to her parents' home and brought back all that bad stuff! Our village is so big, we can't let outsiders criticize us just because one person has poor manners!"
“That makes sense! Stop arguing, the Mo family is coming soon, right? We can just talk to them then. Anyway, we can’t leave Mo Wenying in the village.”
"..."
Su Nanxi never expected that he had always thought about the village and tried to help them improve their quality of life and increase their income, but what about these people?
"Village chief, there's no need to say anything more!"
