Chapter 250 Wild man, in the yard
Chu Yue frowned when she heard this.
This means she treats Song Dashun as her wild man.
Song Dashun came here a few times before, but it was a coincidence that he didn't meet any nosy sisters-in-law in the compound. If they saw Song Dashun going in and out of Chu Yue's yard alone, the rumors about him being a wild man would probably spread. Some people might even think that Chu Yue had cheated on Lu Zhanlin just a few months after getting married.
Otherwise, how could she, a young girl who left her hometown and came to the southwest, suddenly get to know a strange man?
This time, Song Dashun did not come alone, and was accompanied by Du Juan. However, he still could not stop the speculation of the people around him. Pairs of curious eyes fell on Chu Yue, trying to find a hole in her.
Chen Fengying is a careless and open-minded person in daily life, but it was she who reminded Chu Yue, which shows how important it is to maintain purity in matters between men and women.
Even Xia Xiaolan nodded slightly towards Chu Yue.
Chu Yue frowned and looked around, and found that there were not only Chen Fengying and Xia Xiaolan outside her house, but also Li Dahua and others.
They ran into Song Dashun at the gate of the compound. How could they not be curious when they saw such a strange and muscular man walking into the compound?
So what if there is one more cuckoo?
Du Juan followed Song Dashun. The pretty and gentle woman looked more like Song Dashun's sister, not like a couple.
The dirty thoughts in their heads could fill a restricted-level picture book.
Chu Yue was quite disgusted by this, her face darkened, and she was about to say something when someone spoke faster than her.
Du Juan also heard what Chen Fengying said and immediately stood up and spoke to everyone.
"I am a villager from a nearby village, my name is Du Juan. His name is Song Dashun, he is my husband, and we are husband and wife."
Just a simple sentence has clarified unnecessary misunderstandings.
But Du Juan didn't stop there. Instead, she continued, "A few days ago, Doctor Chu came to our village to practice medicine and treated the elderly and children in the village for free. During that time, she saved my life and my husband's life and helped us a lot. Not only did she not charge us a penny, she also found ways to help my husband and me make money so that we can live a good life.
Doctor Chu is my wife and I's benefactor, and she's a truly kind person. Having Doctor Chu in your compound is a blessing for you. If you dare misunderstand her or gossip about her behind her back, we'll be the first to disapprove! Even Heaven won't approve. Bullying a kind person will bring retribution.
Du Juan is a gentle woman. Even when she speaks harshly, she never uses a single dirty word. But she is sincere in wanting to protect Chu Yue's heart.
Thinking back to when she went to the countryside as an educated youth, she was subjected to countless rumors and groundless accusations because she was a little prettier than the other girls in the village. Even if she drank a sip of water, she would be slandered as seducing men.
These strange looks did not stop even after she married Song Dashun.
Otherwise, Song Dashun wouldn't be so determined to take her back to the city.
Chu Yue was so good to her and Song Dashun, and he would never let Chu Yue suffer this.
Not only Du Juan, but Song Dashun also stood up.
He didn't have to say a word, just stand behind Dujuan.
He has a tall and burly figure, a ferocious look, and a pair of eyes that are wide open, as if he wants to eat people, just like a ferocious mountain god.
Li Dahua and others shuddered not far away. Song Dashun carried a shoulder pole weighing hundreds of pounds with ease. If he swung his fist, he could kill one person with one hand.
The sisters-in-law shrank back in their hearts, not daring to look around anymore, and quickly put on awkward smiles.
"Haha... So you two are a couple... No wonder you're walking together... We're just passing by, that's all. Since you need help, please talk to Miss Chu. We won't bother you anymore. We're leaving now... leaving..."
Four or five people were pulling and tugging, and when they saw that they couldn't gain any advantage, they tried to slip away.
But it was not that easy. Chu Yue glanced at the shoulder pole carried by Song Dashun, then looked at the group of panicked sisters-in-law, and a light flashed in her eyes.
She had an idea in mind.
"Sisters-in-law, now that you are already at my doorstep, don't be in a hurry to leave." Chu Yue not only stopped them from leaving, but also walked over, grabbed one of them in each hand, and took the initiative to lead them to her yard.
If you don't want to see wild men, I'll let you see more clearly.
Chu Yue smiled broadly as she introduced them to Li Dahua and the others, "Sisters-in-law, Song Dashun and Du Juan have another identity. They are the ones that Sister Song is helping. Sister Song just told us not long ago that we should show more care for the underprivileged and help them whenever we can. You won't forget what Sister Song said so quickly, will you?"
Chu Yue moved out of Song Hongmei, and the sisters-in-law dared not say they had forgotten.
"Remember, we all remember."
"I'm glad you remembered." Chu Yue smiled with satisfaction and turned to Du Juan and said, "Du Juan, quickly take out the things you picked and show them to the sisters-in-law. Sisters-in-law, these are all authentic mountain products. The villagers have a hard time making a living by selling mountain products. Sisters-in-law, remember what Sister Song said and you will definitely know what to do. It's time for us to help you!"
The sisters-in-law listened to Chu Yue anxiously. After hearing this, they finally understood that they were going to bleed heavily!
On the other side, Du Juan was a smart person. Chu Yue gave her a look, and she immediately understood what was going on.
She cooperated very well. While Chu Yue was still talking, she had already instructed Song Dashun to deliver the things into Chu Yue's yard, and then take out various mountain products from the basket.
There are wild vegetables, wild bamboo shoots, wild mushrooms, potatoes and sweet potatoes, as well as various dried goods, fungus, red dates, and even cured chicken, duck and meat.
The first few times Song Dashun bought mountain products in the village, the villagers were skeptical, fearing that Song Dashun would cheat them out of their money. At first, they didn't trust him and gave him some cheap mountain products.
But after a few times, Song Dashun paid them real money without delay. The villagers knew that they could really make money by following Song Dashun, so they took out all the best things in their homes and were very happy to be able to exchange them for money.
Therefore, the goods this time are higher than the previous ones, which means... more expensive.
The most special one was something that none of the sisters-in-law had ever seen before. It was green and cut into square pieces. It looked like a pancake, but there was yellow powder on the surface.
Li Dahua pointed at the thing and asked, "What is this? Is it edible?"
Chu Yue looked at Du Juan. She recognized what this thing was, but she wanted Du Juan to tell her.
Du Juan immediately introduced it, "This is called mugwort mochi. It's made with mugwort, the same kind used for making green rice balls, mixed with glutinous rice flour. The yellow powder on top is pine flowers. You can smell it; it's very fragrant." [Image of mugwort mochi]
If they smelled it, they would definitely have to buy it, but they didn't know the price. Li Dahua and the others felt the same way, and no one dared to step forward.
But there was a figure that rushed over before Dujuan could finish her words.
Xia Xiaolan excitedly shouted, "I know this! I know this! In Shanghai, during the Qingming Festival, we eat qingtuan and mugwort glutinous rice cakes. I thought I couldn't eat them after coming here, but I didn't expect you to be able to make them."
