Chapter 23: Possessed by Dirt
Wen Zhenyi listened carefully at the side: "So, the Cheng family is not bad?"
Old Lady Wen nodded and said, "They are considered a very wealthy family in Wenxia Town."
Old Man Wen came over and said, "Yi Yi, I saw you bought meat, but you didn't buy pork. Why?"
"Grandpa, I'm a little worried. The pigs you bought back earlier were sick. This disease is contagious. I'm afraid other butchers have also received sick pigs. If we accidentally buy one back, it will be bad."
Old Man Wen frowned slightly. "It's probably better not to look. There are many villages around Wenxia Town, and many families raise pigs."
Mrs. Wen thought it made sense: "Listen to Yiyi, we shouldn't buy pork recently."
"I understand, mother." Ma Yinghe said.
The happiest thing for Wen Yongman now is to set up a food stall every day. He can eat all kinds of delicious food every day, and he feels very happy just thinking about it.
"Sister, what are we going to do tomorrow?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll think about it after I get back and rest for a while."
"good."
Setting up the stall today was not too tiring. It was not as complicated as yesterday and it was a lot easier.
Old Lady Wen took out her purse and poured all the money out onto the table: "Get to work! See how much money you make today."
Ma Yinghe looked at the silver and money on the table: "Mom, it seems there are more today than yesterday."
"Well, but today's cost is much higher than yesterday's, so we have to calculate it to find out."
Wen Zhenyi didn't join them in counting the money, but sat aside, chin in hand, thinking about what to cook for tomorrow. It would be best if it was something simple, so that everyone wouldn't be so tired.
They had just finished counting the silver and money when there was a knock on the door, "Knock, knock, knock."
Old Lady Wen quickly put away the silver and money and took it back into the house to hide it.
Old Man Wen only spoke up when he saw her go in: "Who is it?"
"Brother Wen, it's me, Dong Li."
Wen Chengwen quickly stood up and went to open the door for Dong Li, only to find that there were many people following him. "Village Chief, what are you doing?"
Dong Li looked at Wen Chengwen, then turned to look at Wen Zhenyi who was sitting in the yard behind him: "We heard that your daughter is better, so we wanted to come and see."
Old Man Wen said to Wen Chengwen, "Chengwen, let the village chief and the others in."
Wen Chengwen made way and let the village chief and others enter the yard.
Wen Yongnan and his brother brought out stools and asked them to sit down.
When Old Lady Wen came out, there were many bowls filled with boiled water on the tray in her hand: "Village chief, have some water." After that, she sat down next to Wen Zhenyi.
Dong Li saw the whole family holding Wen Zhen in the middle and shook his head helplessly: "Don't be so nervous, I can't eat your girl."
Wen Zhenyi smiled and said, "Grandpa, the village chief, they didn't mean that."
Dong Li looked at Wen Zhenyi carefully. The villagers had already told him that she could speak when they went to the market today. He was not surprised at all.
"Are you really okay, girl?"
Wen Zhen nodded: "Well, I met an old man in the past few years, and he taught me a lot."
"Old man? What kind of old man?"
Before Dong Li could speak, the villagers behind him asked impatiently.
"I can't describe him specifically, and I can't see his appearance clearly. I only know that every time he came to teach me something, he was riding a beautiful crane."
"Village chief, I'm afraid we've encountered a god!"
Dong Li looked at Wen Zhenyi and saw that her eyes were clear and bright, and she didn't look like she was lying. Her body was clean and she didn't have the innocent air that they said.
Others disagreed: "Village chief, this is too weird! He's been stupid for thirteen years, and suddenly he's awake and can talk. I'm afraid he's been resurrected by some evil creature."
Old Man Wen's face instantly fell: "If my family Yi Yi is a fool, then you are the biggest fool in the world, and you are also a dirty thing. Are you a scourge to my family or yours?"
Old Lady Wen was also furious: "Our family's Yi Yi is a treasure, how could you possibly see that? If you continue to talk nonsense, I will tear your mouth apart."
Ma Yinghe had already stood up and was about to take action, but Wen Zhenyi beside her pulled her back: "Mom, calm down, calm down."
"He actually dared to say that you were possessed by something dirty. I'll beat him up."
The villager who had just spoken immediately ran and hid behind Dong Li, still unconvinced, "I'm not wrong. He's been stupid for thirteen years, but suddenly he's fine again. He has such amazing cooking skills. Who wouldn't be confused?"
Wen Chengwen was so angry that his face turned red: "Say it again."
The villagers dared not speak.
Dong Li actually had his doubts in his heart. Now the villagers were also in a panic due to the rumors. They were afraid that Wen Zhenyi was really resurrected by an evil creature and would bring disaster to the village.
"Everyone calm down."
Wen Zhenyi looked at him with a smile: "Grandpa Village Chief, I think you didn't come here today to see if I'm okay, but to see if I was resurrected by some dirty thing!"
Dong Li felt a little embarrassed. Being pointed out so directly by the person involved, he felt a little guilty. "I can't help it. I have to be responsible for the villagers."
Just as Mrs. Wen was about to say something, Wen Zhenyi stopped her: "Grandma, let me do it." Then she looked at Dong Li and said: "So how does the village chief plan to prove it?"
The villagers behind the village chief said, "Let's invite a Taoist priest to come and take a look. If you are really fine, we will believe it."
Wen Zhenyi smiled and nodded: "Okay, when."
"tomorrow."
"It's the same time tomorrow. My family has to do business in the morning."
The villagers were a little worried when they heard her say this: "You are not trying to escape!"
Wen Chengwen exploded when he heard this, slamming the table and standing up: "Bullshit, my daughter is innocent, why would she run away?"
The villagers didn't dare to say anything. Although the Wen family had only a few people, they were not easy to mess with.
Dong Li thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, at this time tomorrow, if Wen girl is really well, we will apologize." Then he changed the subject: "But, if she is possessed by something dirty, don't blame us for being cruel."
Ma Yinghe was so angry that she crushed the cup in her hand and said, "Get lost."
Wen Yong angrily shouted at them, "Go away! You are not welcome in our home! Go away, all of you!"
Wen Yongnan stood up and saw the guest off: "Village Chief, please come in."
Everyone was asked to leave the Wen family's yard, and the door was slammed shut behind them.
The villagers saw the closed gate and asked: "Village chief, they won't run away, will they?"
Dong Li looked at the person who spoke: "The Wen family always keeps their word. Go and invite someone."
