All kinds of rumors and rumors will always come around Shen Changting inadvertently.

In this regard, Shen Changting did not react much except that his face was a little colder, and the whole person still looked indescribably indifferent.

The people in the mountain village said that they were busy, it was really busy, and they were facing the loess all day long, and they wanted to divide it into two halves for one person.

However, no matter how busy you are, you still have plenty of time to eat and rest, because the time is completely at your own discretion.

In my spare time, whenever there is a disturbance, I can take it out and talk about it for a long time.

For example, Zhao Qingzao's last purchase of a large number of duck eggs is still the talk of many villagers in Zhaojia Village after dinner.

Even the neighboring villages have heard about it, and many of them even secretly inquire in private, wanting to know when Zhao Qingzao will receive duck eggs next.

What's more, Zhao Qingzao has recently started hunting again, this kind of thing that is not worth wasting time in the hands of others except for Chu Xingshan, but it has been turned into an eye-popping income by Zhao Qingzao.

This woman seems to be able to make money no matter what she does, and she is born with a pair of discerning eyes.

Especially now that Shen Changting is still in the yamen, and Zhao Qingzao is so good at making money, it is difficult not to be blushing.

Being stared at is naturally not a good thing for Zhao Qingzao, especially since Zhao Qingzao has been very close to Chu Xingshan recently, which naturally gave the people in the village a lot of words.

In these years, a woman's ability is nothing, but no one can change the deep-rooted idea of the male protagonist and the female protagonist, but Shen Changting is weak, and Zhao Qingzao can grasp it inside and out.

The previous few battles with the Lao Zhao family made people see her pungency, but the more so, the more dissatisfied many long-tongued women felt.

Simplicity is human nature, and jealousy is the devil of people's hearts.

Since there were many criticisms around him, Shen Changting's complexion was tense all day, and his whole face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

Especially the separation between him and Zhao Qingzao, which made him feel like no one was allowed to enter recently.

It's just that his impression in the hearts of many villagers has not changed anyone's mind.

If someone else is on an errand in the yamen, who will not be courteous and in awe, and even want to come forward to curry favor?

But he has always been like a good man, and he didn't let the villagers feel that he had changed much, and naturally he didn't take him seriously.

So in the past few days, the villagers have not been in much awe of him, and even those eight women with long tongues still disdain him all day long, and some of them are even colder and gossip.

It's a pity that although he knew about this, he didn't make any bigger moves, and seemed to keep everything in his heart.

On this day, he still came back from work as before, but as soon as he returned to the village, two eight women came to meet him, and when he saw Shen Changting, he pretended to be surprised and said, "Changting, you come back and pull." ”

Shen Changting frowned slightly and nodded silently.

"By the way, Changting, why has your Qingzao been in contact with Chu Xingshan recently, but what is the good thing?"

"I said Changting, it's not okay to go on like this, you can't always let a woman be in charge of your family, like what. ”

"That is, if you want me to say, this kind of woman might as well take a break. ”

The two women looked at Shen Changting with a sneaky look.

If Zhao Qingzao is again, I'm afraid you can see at a glance what the hell these people are doing.

It's a pity that Shen Changting at this time is not Zhao Qingzao, it's not the first time he's heard these rumors, but this time someone mentioned it in front of him.

Immediately, his face instantly turned cold, like stiff wood, stared at the two village women, turned his head coldly and left.

"Hmph! ”

"Cut, where is he proud, looking at it like this, he obviously doesn't look down on us. ”

Shen Changting's attitude instantly made several women a little at a loss, looking at Shen Changting's back, looking at each other, and feeling extremely angry for a while.

Now that Shen Changting has received good things from the yamen, naturally some people are red-eyed, especially those who have daughters at home, and their minds are active for a while, but they didn't expect that this has not yet started, and they will be coldly treated.

What they think, Shen Changting doesn't know, but after getting along with Zhao Qingzao these days, Shen Changting has learned one thing.

That is, people outside can find him, most of them are not good, he has suffered a few losses, and now he has a long memory.

When Shen Changting entered the house, Zhao Qingzao saw it.

Sensing the unnaturalness on Shen Changting's face, she didn't take it to heart, Shen Changting has been like this for the past few days, and she has no intention of continuing to persuade her.

She also wants to open it, but if she can't get by, it's not a big deal.

She can also be regarded as a married woman, but she was abandoned by Shen Changting, and she is also a widow, and the woman is not the girl she used to be, and she continues to trouble her without opening her eyes.

At ease, she was still immersed in hunting.

There is not much farm work, the income is small, just relying on preserved eggs, her ability is limited for a while, and it is impossible to get rich all of a sudden, so she can only scrape together, catch everything she can fish, at least hunting, she is now back with all the money, not to mention, there is still a balance.

After a month, there are twenty or thirty taels of silver, which is not much less than the income of preserved eggs.

What's more, this county is not big, that is, the preserved eggs are sold to the entire county, and it is at most a hundred taels of silver a month, which has to be operated slowly by her.

Hunting, in the short term, she doesn't plan to let go.

When Shen Changting came back, she happened to be packing up the drawings, which was a little improvement on the beast trapping cage, made it a little bigger, and made it as simple as possible in the mechanism.

After all, in these years, it is impossible to make iron tools as delicate, but the original cage is not bad for catching birds, but for catching animals, it is not very easy to use.

So when Shen Changting entered the house, she was putting away the drawings she had drawn, planning to find Chu Xingshan.

Chu Xingshan is an expert in this regard, and she still needs to ask for advice if it is feasible.

"Qingzao, what are you busy with?" Shen Changting looked at Zhao Qingzao's familiar busyness, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"What else can I be busy with, it's that the original cage is not easy to use, and I am thinking about improving it. Zhao Qingzao smiled and spoke.

The two of them couldn't talk much in a day, although it was much better than the cold one a few days ago, but Zhao Qingzao was still a little unhappy in his heart, and it was only considering that Shen Changting was keen, so he deliberately slowed down his tone.

"Then you're going to go looking for hiking again?" Shen Changting said quietly, with a hint of fire and coolness in his tone.

Zhao Qingzao didn't care, anyway, she was used to it, so she immediately nodded and said: "Yes, only he understands this thing, I have to ask him if he can do it, if it doesn't work, he has to think of a way." ”

When Shen Changting heard this, his brows furrowed, a trace of gloom flashed on his face, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Seeing this, Zhao Qingzao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in surprise: "What's the matter, Brother Changting, what's wrong with this?"

As he spoke, he looked at Shen Changting with a serious face, and said, "Brother Changting, if you have any ideas, it's best to make it clear directly, don't be bored with everything, you are like this, I really don't know what to do." ”

There are words in her stomach, how can she live a little bit, she can not care about Shen Changting's previous identity, but now that she is a family, what can she not say in person.

She asked herself if she had done well enough, but if Shen Changting had been like this, her patience would have a limit.

When Shen Changting heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Qingzao, there have been a lot of rumors in the village in recent days, all of which say that you and Xingshan, do you know?"

"I've heard about it for a long time. ”

Zhao Qingzao pursed his lips and sneered: "It's just that the long-tongued woman is jealous, of course I know what they are thinking, cut, they persuaded me not to be nice to you at the beginning, now my life is not better than all of them, but I want me to make preserved eggs, I didn't give them to them, my eyes are red." ”

Saying that, she also said a little resentfully: "Even if I go out, I am also above board under the sun, in addition to talking about it, what else can they do, a group of unproductive goods, I can't see others well." ”

It is said that these villagers are simple, but in fact this is not the case at all, Zhao Qingzao knows this better than anyone else.

Compared with the people in the city who sweep the snow in front of their own doors, the people in these ravines are the most nosy, and they listen to the wind and rain, and whoever has a better life will immediately become jealous, flattering on the surface, and dare to say anything nonsense in private.

Seeing this, Chu Xingshan seemed to feel that what Zhao Qingzao said was a bit excessive, and sighed: "You should also pay more attention, don't always give people a handle." ”

"What can I pay attention to, I earn money to support my family, rely on my own ability, and don't steal or rob. ”

Zhao Qingzao's brows twisted into Sichuan characters, looked at Shen Changting, and then suddenly said: "It's because Brother Chu and I walked in, and they chewed the root of their tongues again, this kind of shadowless thing, what should they do, Brother Changting, do you mind this?"

Shen Changting shook his head and was silent for a while.

Zhao Qingzao said with a smile: "Quietly observe your own mistakes, don't talk about people's wrongs, this is the foundation of being a man, I think Brother Changting is a scholar, he understands these truths better, and he won't mind, unlike those long-tongued women, except for staring at other people's idle things, there is nothing else to do, anyway, I don't mind what they say, act above board, everything must be said to others, I can afford it." ”

said, still a little unhappy: "As for the others, I'm not the emperor, and I can't control their mouths, it doesn't matter, even the emperor still has people secretly scolding, and the queen still has people to talk about, not to mention a weak woman like me, as long as they don't interfere with my life, care about them." ”

As he spoke, he rolled up the drawings, added a cup of tea to Shen Changting, and said: "Brother Changting, don't think too much, there is no way now, you have to save more money, for the sake of this family to live a long time, patience will pass, not to mention, with your current ability, stay up for a year or two, and help the county master make achievements, but you are much better than me, I am afraid that I will not be able to help you when the time comes, and I will drag you back." ”

Shen Changting's face was stunned, Zhao Qingzao's words were very rough, but the reason was very clear, as long as he was not a fool, he could understand it.
