Chapter 37 Candied Haws
Zhou Jincong would never let Song Ruanruan get her wish. He nodded seriously and said, "I will only marry Ye Wangshu in this life. As for you..."
Zhou Jincong looked at Song Ruanruan, feeling unhappy. "I always treated you as my sister."
Song Ruanruan's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked again, "What about now? Brother Jin Cong, do you like me a little bit? Even just a little bit?"
After hearing this, Zhou Jincong frowned even deeper, "Song Ruanruan, if you leave now, I can still treat you as a friend who grew up with you."
Song Ruanruan was stunned and her heart ached. She covered her face and ran out.
"Jin Cong! Aren't your words a bit too harsh?" Zhou's mother looked out the door with a worried look on her face. She wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth and didn't know what to say.
"I didn't know she had this idea before. If I had known, I would have stayed away from her a long time ago."
Zhou Jincong lowered his eyes and looked at Ye Wangshu. The anger on his face instantly turned into tenderness. "Wife, if you think someone is wrong in the future, I will definitely stay away from her."
"Okay!" Ye Wangshu nodded happily. If she had a tail, it would definitely be raised high at this moment.
Since the news of Ye Wangshu's excellent medical skills spread, her reputation in the village has improved a lot.
In addition, she goes to the paddy fields with Zhou Jincong almost every evening, and their sweet relationship is also enviable.
There are also some people who are jealous, and Mrs. Chen from the village is one of them.
When the educated youth first went to the countryside, her husband praised Ye Wangshu for her beauty. Since then, Mrs. Chen has been jealous of Ye Wangshu.
Later, Ye Wangshu was secretly happy for a long time because Li Jianqiang's reputation was damaged.
She never expected that not only would Ye Wangshu end up marrying Zhou Jincong, the most promising man in the village, but the villagers' attitude towards her would completely reverse 180 degrees because of her superb medical skills.
These days, the more Mrs. Chen thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She would tell everyone she met about Ye Wangshu's past dark history, and even made up some things that had never happened.
However, few people stood on the same side as Mrs. Chen and denounced Ye Wangshu.
She couldn't help but come up with a plan.
The places Ye Wangshu went to every day were somewhat similar. After Mrs. Chen secretly took note of them, she took her daughter Chen Xiaoya and waited for an opportunity.
When Ye Wangshu passed by the compound, a thin figure suddenly rushed towards her.
Ye Wangshu thought that Chen Xiaoya had tripped accidentally, so he did not dodge.
When Chen Xiaoya was about to approach her, she reached out to help her.
Chen Xiaoya was supported by Ye Wangshu. She looked at the candied haws in her hand and was stunned.
Her mother asked her to hit her sister with the candied haws. Now that she didn't hit her, her mother would definitely beat her.
"Little boy, are you hurt?" Ye Wangshu let go of Chen Xiaoya, looked her up and down, and was relieved to see that Chen Xiaoya was not hurt.
At this time, Chen Xiaoya was indeed very conflicted.
This was the first candied haws her mother bought her, and she really wanted to eat it. But her mother told her to hit her sister with it.
After being stunned for a moment, Chen Xiaoya looked at the candied haws in her hand with reluctance, closed her eyes and threw the candied haws at Ye Wangshu.
Her action was so sudden that Ye Wangshu couldn't react at all.
When she came to her senses, Chen Xiaoya was already crying loudly.
"Wow! She stole my candied haws! My candied haws!"
Chen Xiaoya cried very sadly and her voice was loud, which attracted a lot of people in just a moment.
When everyone saw Chen Xiaoya crying so sadly and heard the cries from her mouth, they immediately pointed the finger at Ye Wangshu.
"As expected, no matter how powerful this person is, he will remain the same."
"I even said a lot of good things about her a few days ago, but Ye Wangshu actually bullied even a child!"
“…”
Listening to the criticism from the crowd, Ye Wangshu felt powerless.
"I didn't bully her."
Ye Wangshu opened her mouth to defend herself, but almost no one paid attention to her words. They all accused her at the top of their lungs.
Ye Wangshu was speechless and frowned at Chen Xiaoya. At this time, Chen Xiaoya was crying sadly, and her words were full of candied haws.
"I haven't had time to eat my candied haws yet!"
Seeing Chen Xiaoya crying so sadly, Ye Wangshu felt a little confused.
How could this little girl of a few years old have the reason to wrongly accuse me?
Seeing that everyone was criticizing Ye Wangshu, Mrs. Chen jumped out and pointed at him with a look of pity, "You are such a grown-up, why are you still stealing children's things?"
Mrs. Chen's words escalated the farce to a new level.
Ye Wangshu frowned and looked at Mrs. Chen, searching for her figure from his original body's memory.
Mrs. Chen had always been jealous of the original body. The original body's reputation was ruined so badly because of her behind the scenes.
But... Mrs. Chen is not someone who cares about her daughter!
Ye Wangshu narrowed his eyes and instantly understood the truth of the matter.
"Everyone listen to me!" Ye Wangshu raised his hands and looked at everyone seriously.
Ye Wangshu's move was so large and sudden that everyone looked over immediately.
"Mrs. Chen has never liked her daughter. Why would she suddenly ask her daughter to buy candied haws?"
This one sentence caused a huge uproar. Everyone immediately looked at Mrs. Chen with suspicion, and immediately turned against her and started to criticize her.
"The Chen family's daughter-in-law beat and scolded her daughter, asking her to buy candied haws for Chen Xiaoya. The sun must be rising from the west!"
Someone echoed, and everyone's minds started to work.
"Mrs. Chen, you've been spreading gossip about me before." Ye Wangshu stared at Mrs. Chen, trying to find any flaws in her.
"You bought a candied haws for Chen Xiaoya on purpose, and then let her throw herself at me and put the blame on me. What on earth were you thinking?"
Facing Ye Wangshu's questioning, Mrs. Chen had already prepared herself mentally, and she spoke as soon as Ye Wangshu finished speaking.
"She's my own child, can't I buy her a candied haws?" Mrs. Chen put her hand on Chen Xiaoya's shoulder and warned Ye Wangshu with a fixed look.
"Don't you know what kind of person you are?"
"Do you have any evidence to support what you said?" Mrs. Chen looked at Ye Wangshu angrily, but she pinched Chen Xiaoya hard with her hand.
Chen Xiaoya felt pain and immediately said, "I didn't mean to do that. It was this sister who wanted to steal my candied haws!"
"Xiaoya didn't lie! Wuwuwu..."
After Chen Xiaoya said these two sentences, she cried even more sadly.
Everyone looked at Mrs. Chen's distressed expression and changed their attitude.
"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Maybe the Chen family's daughter-in-law has found her conscience and started to treat her little girl better!"
“That makes sense!”
“…”
Amidst everyone's discussions, there was a faint voice that stood firmly on Ye Wangshu's side.
"Dr. Ye is not that kind of person. She must have been wronged."
