I don't know how to answer her question, obviously, I had a bad time under Shen Xinglin, but I never told anyone in this village.

This is not to save face for Shen Xinglin or anything, purely because I don't know who can be trusted by the people in the village?

Except for Xiaohe, but he's just a kid, and there's no way I'm going to talk to him about it, and let him get in touch with these dark sides at such a young age.

The other party is Xiaohe's mother, so I naturally have a good impression, but I don't dare to answer this kind of question bluntly no matter what, so I can only continue to wash vegetables in silence.

Xiaohe's mother seemed to see my embarrassment, so she didn't ask anymore, but just said to herself: "I guess it should be sad, when you first entered the village, I saw you from afar, a girl who is quite smart." This month, not only has I lost a lot of weight, but I am also a lot haggard. ”

Is it? Hearing her say this, I couldn't help but touch my cheek.

The daily busyness makes it impossible for me to pay attention to myself, let alone my own changes.

It's funny to say that for most of the first half of the month, I'm afraid I won't even have time to look in the mirror, and I have a little free time, and I can't wait to spend it all sleeping.

Am I that haggard? It's just that it's a good thing to lose weight, I comfort myself in my heart, I don't want to have a trace of weakness in this village, a trace of sadness.

"Don't blame Aunt Shen Liu, she used to be a poor person. Her man was originally a cultivator in the village, but later died early due to an accident, leaving them orphans and widows, and life was sad in such an indifferent village. Later, because of the bloodline with Shen Xinglin (inherited to the present, the bloodline between many Shen clan members is already very weak, and the bloodline here refers to is relatively close), so he served Shen Xinglin. ”

"Shen Xinglin is not a person who is easy to serve, because he has outstanding talent, he has been intolerant since he was a child, and his grandmother is an elder. Moreover, she is a domineering elder in herself, and she is even more unpopular. After coming out of the village alone (the children in the village follow the adults from an early age, and when they reach a certain age, they will come out and have their own place in the village), there is no one in the village who dares to serve her. ”

"It's also thanks to Aunt Shen Sixth that this matter can be settled, otherwise, according to the domineering of the fifteenth elder, she will definitely arrange people forcibly, you know, where can Shen Xinglin endure the people who were forcibly arranged? According to Shen Xinglin's temperament, I am afraid that there will be a few human lives. From this point of view, the people in the village are somewhat grateful to Aunt Shen Liu. ”

I didn't know if there was any more in the past, but I listened carefully and said softly, the hateful image of Aunt Shen Liu before was not so hateful in my heart.

"Aunt Shen Sixth was not angry with Shen Xinglin at the beginning, in fact, although her man is dead, he is a cultivator in the end, and he can't guarantee anything else, and there is no problem if he doesn't serve Shen Xinglin. However, Aunt Shen Liu endured it for the sake of her son Shen Xiaobao. The kid had some talent for cultivation, but he wasn't in good health. Shen Xinglin's side has a lot of monthly allowances, and if she misses a little bit to give it to her, she can also make up for her son. Everyone has their own way of living, and after a long time, it is estimated that Shen Xinglin is used to her, and she is also used to how to serve Shen Xinglin, so she has become a little mean now. ”

"Speaking of meanness, she also gets along with the people in the village on weekdays. But the premise must be someone that Shen Xinglin is not targeting. At this point, Xiaohe's mother stopped talking and looked at me instead.

I knew that this should be the key point of the conversation, so I continued: "That means, I am probably the person Shen Xinglin is targeting?" That's why Aunt Shen Liu treated me like this? ”

"Yes, if she is harsh on you, she must be trying to earn performance in front of Shen Xinglin. Here, the master has a good face, and those bad means can only be done by subordinates. I probably know Aunt Shen Liu, but her heart is not so bad, I guess she didn't mean to treat you like that. Xiaohe's mother hesitated, but emphasized it to me again.

"You're telling me this...?" I don't understand.

"Sister Xiaoshuang, you are with Shen Jingyun, I can't say that there will be a day when you will get ahead in the future, if there is such a day, let go of Aunt Shen Liu, she is just a poor woman who is dedicated to her son. Besides, people's hearts are flesh and blood, and I tell you that Aunt Shen Liu's essence is not bad, that is, to tell you that if you communicate with her occasionally, you may suffer less and live a better life. ”

I finally understood Xiaohe's mother's kindness, and smiled at her gratefully, in fact, from the current environment, this is not a bad way.

But I always had a knot in my heart that I couldn't get around, so I couldn't help but ask: "Then Shen Xinglin, I don't know her at all, why is she...?" ”

"This problem should be Shen Jingyun. Because everyone in the village knew that Shen Xinglin wanted to marry Shen Jingyun before. Xiaohe's mother glanced at me, said the reason, and then continued: "So, you are not doing well with Shen Xinglin, I am afraid that the whole village will also know." That's why I dared to ask you that before. ”

"Huh?" I thought about many reasons, but I never thought that the reason why Shen Xinglin treated me so much was because of this.

But on second thought, this is the most reasonable again, only jealous women are the most terrible.

The reason why I was surprised was because Shen Jingyun didn't tell me about Shen Xinglin at all, including seeing Shen Xinglin this time, and he didn't care about her.

That shows that Shen Jingyun didn't know about this matter at all, so he would have such an understatement attitude. But that's it, Shen Xinglin turned out to be....

I was distracted, "ah" shouted a little louder, attracting a few glances, I immediately reacted, and said in a panic: "Why are there insects on the leaves of this vegetable?" ”

As a result, in exchange for a few funny glances, I was taught a few lessons by the overseer, and finally the matter was perfunctory.

When it calmed down, it was Xiaohe's mother who was surprised: "Sister Xiaoshuang, why are you so surprised?" ”

"Because Shen Jingyun didn't tell me about Shen Xinglin at all, I didn't expect her to target me for this reason." I explained the reason to Xiaohe's mother.

She looked down and thought for a while, then said, "No wonder. Shen Jingyun definitely didn't know. Do you know the former Shen Jingyun? is really one of the most beautiful characters in the Shen family. That kind of scenery refers to the same in the master's house, there were rumors at that time that under the head of the family, Shen Jingyun was the first person, and there was no genius that would be difficult to come out in a hundred years. Lots of rumors. Later, Shen Jingyun came to our village because he had some friendship with the nine elders of our village, and Shen Xinglin secretly fell in love with Shen Jingyun at that time. ”

"Such a handsome offspring, a genius, and so promising. I heard that at the request of the fifteenth elder, Shen Jingyun also gave special guidance to Shen Xinglin. I guess that's why too? In short, no matter what, since Shen Jingyun left, Shen Xinglin has declared it like this. The people in the village thought it was a joke, where would Shen Jingyun take a fancy to her? Not to mention that there was a fairy-like figure by his side at that time. ”

Xiaohe's mother recalled the past, and Shen Jingyun, who was so beautiful at that time, couldn't even suppress a little excitement in her voice as a bystander.

It can be seen how ambitious Shen Jingyun was at that time?

But a fairy-like figure? Could it be that Lin Ruolan? Thinking of this name, I still can't help but feel a little sour in my heart, so I can only lower my head and wash the vegetables silently.

Xiaohe's mother didn't realize it yet, and continued: "Hey, speaking of which, the identity of that girl is even more terrifying, I don't know what it is, anyway, even Shen Jingyun can't be compared." I just heard... But compared to Shen Xinglin, that girl is gentle, beautiful, and kind. This is everyone's fair evaluation, and I can't find any shortcomings. ”

"Oh." I let out a soft oh.

At this time, Xiaohe's mother may have realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said, "Don't take it to heart." After all, it's all in the past, Shen Jingyun is not as good as before now, didn't that girl also leave him? ”

"Yes." I nodded, thinking, if I am really with Shen Jingyun, at this time, it is too late to feel distressed, why are I willing to leave?

But Shen Xinglin didn't stop thinking, after all, even if Shen Jingyun didn't have talent, so a man standing there was also very attractive to girls. What's more, even if you are not a genius, you have the identity of a recultivator, right? I analyzed, the fault lies in your existence! The village knew early on that Shen Jingyun was not with that girl, and Shen Xinglin's words were also said that he wanted to marry Shen Jingyun. ”

"But no one thought that Shen Jingyun would bring you back to the village this time..."Xiaohe's mother began to analyze the reason for me.

I have to say that the more I listened, the colder my heart became.

According to Shen Xinglin's character, if this is the reason, can she still let me go? Jealousy and stinginess have always gone hand in hand, and these two points are completely vividly reflected in Shen Xinglin.

When Xiaohe's mother and I were talking, we didn't notice that someone was coming from the huge kitchen.

It wasn't until a man was about to walk up to us that we shut up all at once.

I was grateful that Mother Xiaohe had ventured to come close to me and tell me all this, and that wasn't it a kindness to me? Although I was still so helpless in this village, I found the reason, and it was much better to always be "blind" and be rectified.

Just as I was looking down and washing the vegetables and thinking about things, the person who was close to me and Xiaohe's mother was already standing in front of us.

He said to us, "Hold your head up." ”

This person exuded the aura of a cultivator, and I didn't have to look up to feel it very clearly, of course I didn't dare to resist, so I could only raise my head.

The cultivator just glanced at Xiaohe's mother, and then began to look me up and down, and after a few seconds, he said to the overseer: "This woman is okay, hurry up and let her change her clothes." ”
