Chapter 16 People Are Different
Finally got the paperwork she wanted, Qiao Lan almost looked up to the sky and laughed to express her joy, but thanks to Lizheng's hypocritical face still shaking in front of her, she hurriedly packed up her mood, walked out of Lizheng's house with a "heavy" face, and went to the west bank, gaining countless sympathies along the way.
From time to time, people around him appeared and pointed fingers, most of them were far away, specious accusations, the specific form of expression was to get together in groups of three or five, whispering, but the eyes drifted to Qiao Lan's side from time to time, and there were two in front of them, Zhu Wenchang, the grandson of the eldest brother of Li Zheng, and Zhu Wenfan, the grandson of the second brother of Li Zheng, who were born in the same year, are now sixteen years old.
"Sister Chen, your clothes are so beautiful today!" Compared to Zhu Wenfan, who only snorted coldly and ignored people when he saw Qiao Lan, Zhu Wenchang seemed much more enthusiastic, but Qiao Lan would rather he only snort coldly, and don't babble endlessly, just like Tang Seng, "Sister Chen, I don't know who wants to slander my sister and slander you for borrowing the money from Master Qian, Brother Chang knows that this must not be true." Sister Chen is so gentle and virtuous, she will never touch that filthy thing. Please go with Brother Chang and make it clear to those people, don't tarnish your sister's reputation. ”
Zhu Wenchang is a scholar, and his speech has always been so literate, not that he wants to show his identity as a scholar, but that he reads to death, is sour and pedantic, and can only talk like this, Qiao Lan has goosebumps all over his body, "It's not a rumor, it's true!"
"How can my sister be so reckless, and borrow money from such wicked people, putting yourself in danger and disgrace your family. Sister Chen, you weren't such a person before, were you coerced by others to do such an ugly thing, tell Brother Chang about it. ”
"......" this is ...... Where did you get the best!!
"Hmph! The mud can't be up, and the rotten wood can't be carved!" Zhu Wenfan snorted coldly again, and with a flick of his sleeves, he was about to leave. Zhu Wenchang hurriedly grabbed him, "Qingyang, don't count Sister Chen like this! Sister Chen must be deceived by others to act like this, as long as I wait to argue with her, she will definitely understand." Sister Chen is happy with you, although you have no intention, but you still need to treat her well for the sake of being a weak woman. ”
"Ah~" Hearing "I am happy with you", Qiao Lan opened her mouth in surprise, and only then did she look at Zhu Wenfan seriously, and the corners of her mouth twitched, isn't it the man she likes. Zhu Wenfan is already a child, but he has been treated as a prodigy since he was a child, he prides himself on being superior, he is very arrogant in dealing with people, he is personable, and many women in the village admire him, but only Chen Yuehe's "love" was thrown on the table by someone with a heart, and it has become a glorious example of "toad wants to eat swan meat". Qiao Lan also knew that Chen Yuehe's little "careful thinking" about Zhu Wenfan had turned into panic, making her avoid him like a snake and scorpion, but Rao was like this, the mockery still sounded every now and then, and her avoidance was explained as her deep love for Zhu Wenfan.
"Trouble the two of you, I still have something to do. Qiao Lan wanted to leave, but these two goods, obviously they should avoid suspicion, but they stopped her when she was walking through the alley.
"Sister Chen, please listen to me talk to you......" After that, the people of Balabala also made a call, which made Qiao Lan's teeth loose a lot.
Zhu Wenfan interjected at the right time to express his firm position, "With your honor, you also admire me?" was so annoyed by Zhu Wenchang that Zhu Wenfan came to add fuel to the fire, Qiao Lan was completely angry, "Devoted to you? joke!! I told you that I was devoted to you? I told people that I was obsessed with you? I didn't say anything, so why do you think I'm obsessed with you. I'm still distressed, it's clear that things that don't exist exist are still spread clearly, and you're still hypocritical. ”
Qiao Lan's snatching made the two readers stunned, and Zhu Wenchang thought about it, isn't it, the person concerned has never said it clearly, and the unclear thing spreads, that is, rumors...... Unlike Zhu Wenchang, Zhu Wenfan felt that he had been humiliated. Although he always felt that Chen Yuehe was not worthy of loving him, he did not reject him, at least people belittled Chen Yuehe and exalted him at the same time. If she really didn't love herself, her previous behavior was like self-inflicted humiliation, not to mention, she was so good, how could she not love herself?!
"It's your sister who said that you always look at me secretly!" Zhu Wenfan was annoyed and angry, and he was bent on confirming the previous rumors.
"Joke, looking at you is falling in love with you, what is the reason?! The women in Qingshan Village are all blind, and they still don't go out every day, so they don't have to look at who they fall in love with. In this way, my sister must also be obsessed with you, she doesn't look at you, how can she know which person I look at twice. ”
"......" Zhu Wenfan was speechless when he was refuted, Qiao Lan left a sentence of "devotion", and the right sentence of "devotion", poking his heart with his words", if this is usual, he will definitely count down two sentences "Only villains and women are difficult to raise", "sharp teeth, there is a loss of women's morality" and so on, Zhu Wenchang nodded and agreed with Qiao Lan's statement.
Seeing that the two of them didn't mean to get out of the way, Qiao Lan turned around and retreated, and met Widow Zhao who was "enjoying the flowers and seeing the grass" at the mouth of the alley, Qiao Lan smiled, she knew that what she had just said would definitely spread as soon as possible, and when the time came, either her reputation would be Zhaoxue or the Chen family sisters would also go into the water together, no matter what the result was, she liked it very much, very much.
Qiao Lan's depression of being pointed at was finally dispelled, and she was in the right mood to rush to the west bank, and when she saw that she was about to reach the Yaoshui River, she was stopped again. An old woman hunched over with a vegetable basket on her shoulder, slowly moving over, if she hadn't been taught to respect the old and love the young since she was a child, Qiao Lan wouldn't have stopped at all.
Qiao Lan knew from Chen Yuehe's memory that the old woman's name was Aunt Lu and she had been widowed in Qingshan Village, but as for the rest, there was no way to know. To say that Chen Yuehe and Aunt Lu didn't have anything to do with each other before, she couldn't think of what Aunt Lu was looking for her: Could it be that she came to count the money I borrowed again?!
Qiao Lan really couldn't stand the other party's slowness, thinking of a quick decision, she took the initiative to take a few steps forward, "What does the eldest lady have to say to Yuehe?"
"You ......" Aunt Lu looked at Qiao Lan twice, and finally sighed, "Hey......" and then stuffed a small cloth bag into Qiao Lan's hand, and then it was slowly moved. Qiao Lan rubbed the small cloth bag, and knew that it contained copper plates, and it was estimated that there were not a hundred or dozens of them. At this moment, Qiao Lan was really moved. She has traveled through time and space to come to such a few days, she has experienced what it means to be hot and cold, and she has seen too many ugly faces, which has seriously distorted her three views, and now God has sent an old man to save her precarious worldview, values and outlook on life.
If Qiao Lan is really entangled in debt, one hundred wen can be described as a drop in the bucket, but this is very likely to be the old man's full net worth, how can this not move her to tears.
Qiao Lan caught up and wanted to return the little cloth bag to Aunt Lu, but the other party didn't accept it, and taught her a lesson very angrily, "It's not for you, it's for you, although it's not a top thing, but it can be repaid a little bit." The old body has lived to this age, it is enough, you are still young, the idea of breaking the can is unacceptable, hurry up and find a way to change the money. This money is not so easy to owe, and no one can owe him money. At this time, what kind of integrity is still being talked about, if you have to take it, it is important to pay off the debt as soon as possible. After Aunt Lu finished speaking, she walked up slowly, slowly, and muttered in a low voice: Really, it is obviously the Chen family, and it is not like the Chen family at all......
Qiao Lan was stunned, but in the end she didn't insist on stepping forward to repay the money, she watched Aunt Lu go away, and then crossed the single-plank bridge with a cloth bag and returned to the west bank.
On the west bank, Xie Jinbao and Chen Yueya are in full swing, they have cleaned up the inside and outside of the broken wall in the past few days, the broken wall has also been repaired with stones, the broken door has also been repaired, and a pocket-sized thatched house has been built in the broken wall.
Qiao Lan looked at the masterpieces of the two, and then remembered that she didn't tell them that she didn't plan to continue living in Qingshan Village, but the thatched house made her eyes full of warmth and felt very warm.
Chen Yueya saw Qiao Lan running over as soon as possible, and as soon as she opened her mouth to ask, what she asked was the "Lizi Money" incident that spread in the village, Qiao Lan did not answer her words positively, but took out the book of severance and the document of establishing a female household to show her, Chen Yueya was illiterate, or Xie Jinbao explained to her.
"Sister, well done! No, they will think of you to go back to make cattle and horses, and then sell them again. They think that you owe "Lizi money", and they must be eager to stay away from you, hahahaha, they are afraid of you, hahahahaha, it's so funny. Chen Yueya highly praised Qiao Lan's strategy, and at the same time was full of confidence in what she said, "Sister will definitely find a way to save you and your mother!"
Originally, she was going back to Wuli Town after taking the papers, but for the sake of the small thatched hut in the morning, Qiao Lan still stayed for one night. Chen Yueya likes the things Qiao Lan sent very much, but she can't use any of them, so she can only hide them in the broken kang, such as those clothes that are too good, the colors are too positive, and the styles are too new.
"It's my sister who didn't think it through, knowing that the people in that family couldn't see us well, and still bought such good clothes. It's a waste if you can't wear it. I wouldn't have bought such a good one if I knew it wouldn't have been. ”
"Sister, you're not right, clothes, as long as there are no patches, the old witch will loot them. Chen Yueya put the burden away, took out another lotus leaf bag, and handed it to Qiao Lan, "Sister, this string of beads is weird and fragrant, where did you come from?"
Qiao Lan opened several layers of dried lotus leaf bags, there were actually several layers of cloth bags inside, at this time she had already smelled a trace of sandalwood, she wrapped the lotus leaves again, and put them back in Chen Yueya's hand, "I bought it from a merchant a long time ago, and I have been hiding it in one place and not taking it out!" "Chen Yuehe did save some money in his hand, and it was searched by Chen Wang's family, but Chen Yueya didn't know it.
"I don't want it, it's better for you to take it yourself. Chen Yuezhu's nose is so smart that she can smell it at all, and I don't even dare to touch it now. ”
"This is for you from my sister, so you can take it. If you can't wear it now, you can wear it later. ”
"But ......"
The sisters tugged at each other, but in the end, Chen Yueya was defeated. In the distance, Xie Jinbao walked over with a pheasant.
Wuli Town, today's Yang Mansion has been filled with an unusually strange atmosphere all day long. Feng Qixiang sat in the study with a cold face, holding the half of the "Law of the Kingdom" tightly in his hand.
