Chapter 23: Planting Rice, Gossip by the Well



Deng Qingling couldn't say no after hearing her say that. It wasn't good to be overly polite between relatives. She just needed to accept the favor and remember her kindness.

"Uncle, goodbye," the little boy Xuxu said in a baby voice, waving his hands.

"Xu Xu, goodbye." Deng Qingling looked at him and felt that he was so cute! So cute, she really wanted to take him home.

I stood outside the door and watched them walk away. I went home, closed the gate, put my things away, and then washed up and had breakfast.

I went back to my room and started working. I hadn't seen the corn and rice seedlings for a few days. They had grown a lot taller and were ready to be transplanted.

I saw her hoeing a few hoes of land with nimble hands and feet, then she went out to the kitchen to get a bucket of water from the water tank, added some spiritual spring water to it, wet the land, and started planting rice and corn.

Deng Qingling clapped her hands, put her hands on her hips and looked at the fruits of her labor, feeling full of confidence.

I am really capable. I can cook and manage the living room. I am beautiful and can earn money to support the family. Whoever marries me must have done great good deeds in his previous life.

PS: Beautiful girl, have you forgotten that you are already married? Who else do you want to marry?

Deng Qingling saw that her clothes were extremely dirty, so she decided to go out and pull out the weeds in the vegetable garden since they were already dirty.

After weeding, I went back to the room to change clothes and went to the well to wash clothes.

Although most people have their own wells, villagers are accustomed to washing things at the well in the center of the village, as it is easy to get water there and very convenient.

It is said that wells are the gathering place for gossip, and it is true. As soon as I walked to the edge of the pool, I heard someone asking.

"Aqing, I heard that your uncle's daughter A Jiao is back? She brought a lot of things with her. What good things did she give to your family?" Aunt Zeng Meixiang asked hurriedly when she saw Deng Qingling.

"Nothing, Sister Jiao came back because she missed her parents." Deng Qingling only then realized that the person who came today was her second sister. She didn't dare to tell others what she had given to her family.

When the original owner just got married, she didn't know what kind of person this aunt-in-law was. When she came to borrow salt, before she was agreed, she went straight to the kitchen and took away all the salt jars, saying that she had nothing to put in it, so this was just right.

The original owner was shy and wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to say it. After all, she was the elder and he was the younger, so he just let her go.

As a result, the dishes that night had no salt and had no taste. Guo Youxing asked her if salt was too expensive and she was reluctant to add it.

Then the original owner said that the aunt came to borrow salt and directly borrowed the salt jar.

Liang Xueying reacted and said, it’s my fault that I didn’t tell you. She is not a good person. She likes to take advantage of others and borrows everything from others, even a scallion. She never returns the borrowed things for a long time.

"What do you mean by missing my parents? Isn't your uncle's birthday tomorrow? He will definitely come back to celebrate his birthday," Zeng Meidi thought for a while and said, patting her thigh.

He is really an old and wise man, he knows everything.

"Haha, maybe." Deng Qingling was a little embarrassed and couldn't pretend she didn't know.

I shouldn’t have come here to wash clothes if I had known. If it were her..., that shouldn’t happen.

"Auntie, take your time washing. I'll go back after I'm done." After saying that, Deng Qingling walked back quickly. She was so fast that people who didn't know her would think a dog was chasing her.

I could vaguely hear the aunts and uncles talking about my uncle's family, and from time to time I could hear loud laughter.

It’s better to go to the well less often to wash clothes in the future. You never know when you might be the one being gossiped about.

Deng Qingling hung the clothes in the yard when she got home. She felt a little hungry, so she ate two bowls of wheat soup and took a rest.
