Although no one mentioned to Qin Wan the gossip that Qin Ruanruan had said in the morning, the truth eventually came out. When Qin Wan went to work in the afternoon, he found out about it all.
In the afternoon, Qin Wan went to work in the fields again, and his job was still to pull out weeds.
Perhaps everyone felt that the law does not hold everyone responsible, so when they talked about Qin Wan again in the afternoon, they were no longer as cautious as they were in the morning, especially Chen Da's wife Ma Cui'e, who was particularly angry with Qin Wan because of her son's marriage.
It turned out that ever since her son Chen Yongming decided to marry the widow Wang Chunfang, Ma Cui'e had often felt so angry that her heart ached.
Ma Cui'e really looked down upon Wang Chunfang.
Not to mention that Wang Chunfang's family was so poor that they could hardly even open the lid of a pot, the fact that she was a widow alone made Ma Cui'e dissatisfied.
Wouldn't marrying a woman like this be asking for trouble and adding a lot of troubles to your life?
In fact, Ma Cui'e originally supported her son marrying Qin Wan, but unfortunately Qin Wan was unwilling. If Qin Wan had agreed to marry her son, how could so many problems have arisen?
Because she blamed Qin Wan for not recognizing her son as a piece of gold and jade, which led to her son falling into Wang Chunfang's bowl, Ma Cui'e was really ruthless in her words when it came to ruining Qin Wan.
"Aunt Huahua, do you know anything about him? I heard from that educated youth named Qin Ruanruan..."
Ma Cui'e deliberately spoke loudly and in a mean manner where Qin Wan was working, and sometimes she would laugh out loud, scaring everyone around her so much that they wanted to saw off the mouth of the gourd and dared not respond.
Although Qin Wan was focused on his work and kept pulling out weeds, he wanted to finish the task as soon as possible and then go for a walk in the mountains.
But Ma Cui'e deliberately raised her voice, made up stories, and made innuendos and accusations against Qin Wan. Qin Wan was not a fool, so how could he not understand?
She listened carefully for a while and understood the whole story clearly.
At first, she would have been lying if she said she wasn't angry. But on second thought, she felt relieved.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a cold smile, and she thought to herself:
This is fine, I'll just let the villagers in this village think that I have bad character. This way, I can stop those who want to marry me from thinking about it.
After all, she never intended to settle down here, so whether it was notorious or not was irrelevant to her.
If Qin Ruanruan knew that she was slandering her reputation everywhere, but she didn't care at all, and even cleverly used this smear to avoid a lot of trouble, I wonder if she would be so angry that she would vomit three liters of blood on the spot?
Qin Wan continued to work quickly and completed her afternoon tasks quickly.
When the scorekeeper came over to check his tasks, she walked briskly to find Wang Liming and several other companions, and said with a smile:
"I was lucky this morning! I shot a fat pheasant! Please inform Liu Dong and let the four of you come to my house for a feast tonight."
"Great, now we have meat to eat again!" Wang Liming said happily.
"Then I'll get off work early and help you." Zhou Dongmei was also very happy.
Zhang Erxiu: "I'm going too!"
After saying that, several people quickened their work speed.
Qin Wan nodded, turned and left.
She hurried back to her residence and began to prepare a sumptuous dinner.
She took out a bag of sweet-smelling brown sugar and a bag of tempting sausages from her space, then carried the basket and went to Aunt Li's house in the village.
She had heard that Aunt Li's vegetables grew the best.
Knocking on Aunt Li's door, she explained her purpose:
"Auntie Li, I heard your family grows the best vegetables. I have a package of ham here and I'd like to exchange it for some vegetables. Is that okay?"
"Sure, sure, Qin Zhiqing, what dish do you want to change?" asked Aunt Li.
When Aunt Li heard that someone was exchanging vegetables, she was very happy. Whether it was exchanging vegetables or buying vegetables, her family would not suffer any loss.
"Auntie, I want two heads of Chinese cabbage and a few peppers. If you have any Chinese cabbage, I'd like a bunch too. Also, carrots and radishes, if you have any, give me some too."
"Yes, we have them all, we have them all." Aunt Li said to Qin Wan with a smile, "Qin Zhiqing, wait a moment, I'll get them for you."
After a while, Aunt Li took these things out.
When Qin Wan saw them, he thought: As expected, this cabbage is hard, and the heart is solid. This pepper is green and well preserved. And this radish is juicy and looks cute...
Aunt Li put these things into the backpack brought by Qin Wan and asked for Qin Wan's three hams.
When Qin Wan left, Aunt Li gave her another bunch of leeks.
Then Qin Wan exchanged ten fresh eggs from Aunt Zhang's house.
When everything was ready, she returned to the small courtyard with satisfaction.
At this time, Wang Liming and three others also finished their work and came over.
So several people divided the work and cooperated with each other. Some picked the vegetables, some lit the fire, and some cooked. Before long, six delicious dishes and a bowl of fragrant soup appeared before them.
The first thing that caught my eye was the brightly colored and crispy dish of wood ear mushrooms and radish. The combination of black and white whetted my appetite.
Next is the light and delicious stir-fried cabbage with tofu, simple and pure yet delicious;
Let’s take a look at the steaming pot of pork stewed with potatoes, where the rich aroma of meat and the soft and glutinous potatoes blend perfectly;
There are also colorful scrambled eggs with green peppers, yellow and green, like a beautiful painting;
In addition, the braised rabbit cubes with a colorful and fragrant taste are even more mouth-watering. The tender and juicy rabbit meat paired with the fragrant sauce is a must-try.
Finally, of course, the classic chicken stewed with mushrooms is indispensable. The deliciousness of the chicken and the fragrance of the mushrooms are intertwined, exuding a charming flavor.
The accompanying soup is a bowl of millet porridge of moderate thickness, which is warm and nourishing.
As for the staple food, Qin Wan specially bought large, snow-white and soft steamed buns from a state-owned restaurant, adding a sense of substance to this delicious meal.
When they had basically finished preparing all the dishes, Liu Dong happened to return from work.
As soon as he walked into the yard, his eyes were instantly attracted by the dazzling array of delicacies on the dining table. The exquisite dishes exuded an enticing aroma, making him so greedy that he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
