Wenzhou resident sipped his congee, mouthful after mouthful, feeling a sense of joy in his heart.
“It was your brother-in-law who did it,” Wen Nan said.
Wenzhou Cheng paused slightly as he drank his porridge. Wasn't breakfast always made by his older sister?
Why is it my brother-in-law doing it now?
Wenzhou City took a sip and savored it carefully.
"It doesn't taste that good, not as good as the porridge my sister cooks."
There's no flattery in the world that this little sycophant can't pull off.
After finishing their meal in Wenzhou City, Zhang Ruyu and Lu Yanqing went to school, while Wen Nan also went to the city and took Wenzhou City to the children's school.
No matter what, Wenzhou City is nominally the young master of the Wen family.
Moreover, the Wen family's foundation was built by Shen Qing.
Even if they dislike Wenzhou, they still have to put on an act.
So even though the Wen family didn't care about Wenzhou City and let a child run away, the family wasn't worried and didn't send anyone to look for him.
However, the money and clothes in Wenzhou City, at least those visible to outsiders, were never treated harshly.
After sending Wenzhou City back, Wen Nan went to the shop again.
It's reassuring that order has been restored.
Wen Nan spent a day in the city, and returned to Lotus Village with Lu Yanqing when it got dark.
Some children ran far away as soon as they saw Wen Nan, as if they had seen something.
It's like seeing a plague; people turn pale at the mere mention of it.
Wen Nan was somewhat confused, and some of the village women ran away as soon as they saw him.
They didn't even say hello.
Since Wen Nan opened a shop in the city and gradually made money, the villagers have been exceptionally friendly to him, greeting him in this way every time they see him.
How did things suddenly change?
However, Wen Nan didn't pay attention, while Lu Yanqing next to him frowned, clearly also not quite understanding.
Zhang Ruyu, who was behind them, said with a gloating look, "Sister Nan, has your bad reputation spread? Everyone's scared now, hahaha."
Zhang Ruyu was naturally referring to the violent assault in Wennan.
Wen Nan raised an eyebrow slightly. She looked up at Lu Yanqing.
"Husband, look at what he's saying..." Wen Nan looked pitiful.
Zhang Ruyu: "..."
"I'm sorry..." Zhang Ruyu reacted quickly and swallowed her pride.
Wen Nan won't make a fuss about it.
A few days have passed, and life has been uneventful without any major ups and downs.
That night, Wen Nan, Lu Yanqing, and Zhang Ruyu were having dinner in the courtyard.
From a distance, someone shouted, "Wang Hunzi and Yang Sheng are fighting at the village entrance, and they're both bruised and battered!"
Wang Hunzi...
Since Wang Hunzi started working at Wen Nan's shop, he has had a very good relationship with Wen Nan.
Wang Hunzi's parents died early. He had no relatives here long ago, so why would he have a dispute with Yang Sheng?
Wen Nan put down her chopsticks and went out. Lu Yanqing followed her out, leaving Zhang Ruyu alone to eat.
However, Zhang Ruyu was unaffected. With each bite of food and each mouthful of rice, during her stay here, Zhang Ruyu visibly became plump and rounder.
Perhaps because he had lived in Lotus Village for so long, he had lost his air of a noble young master. He no longer wore gold and silver jewelry, and put away all his luxurious clothes, now wearing a blue robe instead.
He does have the appearance of a scholar.
He's just occasionally glib and slick.
Before Lu Yanqing and Wen Nan walked over, there were clearly many people surrounding them.
When Wen Nan and Lu Yanqing walked in, everyone around them left.
Only Yang Sheng, Wang Hunzi, and the village chief remained.
When the village chief saw Wen Nan approaching, he swallowed hard, suppressing the urge to run away.
Even though Wen Nan hadn't paid attention before, she could now see some clues. She had never interacted with these villagers, and she didn't care how they viewed her.
Wen Nan never cared about people who were unrelated to him.
Wen Nan didn't speak.
"What happened?" Lu Yanqing stepped forward and asked the village chief.
Wang Hunzi was covered in bruises and had a swollen nose and face. Wen Nan noticed the village chief's evasive gaze.
She walked up to Wang Hunzi and asked, "Didn't you just come back from the city at this hour? How did you get into an argument with Yang Sheng?"
Wang Hunzi looked at Wen Nan and then glared fiercely at Yang Sheng, his anger burning.
Wang Hunzi spat on Yang Sheng.
Yang was so angry that his face turned red and then he was about to make a move, but the village chief next to him stopped him.
"What are you doing? Explain yourself first," Wen Nan said in a low voice.
Wang Hunzi loudly cursed Yang Sheng, "You piece of trash, how can you falsely accuse someone like that!"
"Madam Wen, he says you're possessed by a ghost, and that all the strange things that have happened in the village lately are because of you!"
"Madam Wen is a very good person. She got a job in the city. You people are just jealous and that's why you're deliberately trying to harm her!"
Wang Hunzi gritted his teeth; he was standing up for Wen Nan.
Strange things are happening in the village.
Wen Nan recalled carefully... Yang Zhaodi had mentioned this to Wen Nan when she was washing clothes by the river.
It sounds incredibly mystical.
Wen Nan didn't pay attention; she didn't believe in ghosts and gods.
Naturally, they didn't believe the female ghost they were talking about.
But how did this situation suddenly shift to Wen Nan?
Yang Sheng was not to be outdone.
"Did I say something wrong? That's what everyone in the village is saying... This woman clearly fell into the lake last winter, and her body was floating up. If a body is floating up, doesn't that mean it's dead?"
"She suddenly came back to life, like a completely different person. Strange things have been happening one after another in the village. Who else could it be but her?" Yang Sheng heard the villagers say this.
Everyone says that Wen Nan is possessed by something unclean, which is why strange things have been happening in Lianhua Village lately.
Lu Yanqing frowned. "How can you believe in ghosts and gods when there is no evidence? Yang Sheng, you are still a scholar... how can you be so indiscriminate?"
Lu Yanqing's voice lacked its usual elegance, sounding as if it were icy as he reprimanded Yang Sheng.
Yang was dumbfounded.
He had never seen Lu Yanqing like this before. No matter how difficult or miserable Lu Yanqing had been in the past, she never showed her emotions on the surface.
But today he lost control of his emotions and said things that Yang Sheng couldn't refute.
Yang Sheng naturally knew that he had no reason to believe in ghosts and gods.
However, Wen Nanlu and Yan Qing's lives are getting better and better.
Yang Sheng just couldn't help it; he would casually make up a few sentences, and that made him feel a little better.
The village chief didn't want to offend Wen Nan either.
Wang Hunzi and Yang Sheng apologized to each other.
Both of them were unwilling.
Fortunately, the matter has come to an end.
Wang Hunzi, don't tell Wen Nan everything.
When Wen Nan arrived... the original owner had indeed fallen into the lake and stopped breathing, but Wen Nan came because of the system.
