The ground that had just been fertilized was still a little smelly, and Ning Xue'er planned to endure and plant the sweet potato leaves, but Zhang Yisheng volunteered, he planned to do all the work alone.

In this way, Zhang Yisheng spent a day planting five acres of sweet potatoes, and finally poured root water.

Ning Xue'er stood at the head of the field, looking at the small seedlings, and was very satisfied.

After planting sweet potatoes, Ning Xue'er went back to her previous days, doing housework every day, going up the mountain to collect firewood, and if she was free, she would help Zhang's make clothes. Recently, Zhang has stopped weaving, and she is busy preparing winter clothes for the whole family. With silver at home, Zhang's generously bought dozens of catties of cotton, some fabrics and needlework, and invited a few familiar aunts to make winter clothes at home.

Several women sat in the house, chatting while making clothes, "Aunt Ning, you are so blessed, you have a capable daughter, you look at making winter clothes so soon." "No, if you want me to say, this Xue'er is out of luck."

A few women, you say a word to me, and the Zhang family's heart is full of joy.

Ning Xue'er cleaned up the kitchen and sent a few bowls of sweet tea to the aunts in the house, and when those women saw Ning Xue'er coming in, they approached her one by one, "Oh, your tea is really delicious." "It's the Shen family lady next door who speaks, she is straightforward and quick to do things.

"That's not it, this tea is made with sugar, which is naturally different from your family's cold white open." Ding said with a smile.

"Xue'er, sit down and talk to your aunts." It was the daughter-in-law of Ning's second master's family, Wang, who spoke, she had better listen to people tell some anecdotes, since she knew that Ning Xue'er had seen the county master, she had always wanted to talk to Ning Xue'er, and this opportunity had come.

Ning Xue'er didn't shirk either, she sat down generously, her eyebrows and eyes crooked, "What does Aunt Wang want to hear?" ”

"Xue'er, tell your aunt quickly, what does the county master look like?" Wang looked at Ning Xue'er eagerly.

Ning Xue'er said directly: "Just like us, we all have two eyes and one mouth!" ”

"Hahahaha!" Everyone laughed, Ding covered his stomach, his face full of smiles, "It's not just two eyes and one mouth." ”

"Isn't that a big house, isn't it beautiful?" Wang Shi held Ning Xue'er's hand and continued to ask.

Ning Xue'er nodded, "It's big, if someone doesn't lead the way, you will definitely get lost when you go in." ”

"Huh? Can you get lost? That's a big deal! The lady of the Shen family exclaimed, Ning Xue'er's eyes were shining, "In short, it's very big." ”

Ning Xue'er talked and laughed with her aunts for a while, then got up and went to cook.

Recently, people from the family came, and the food was better than usual, Ning Xue'er went to the village in the morning to kill the chicken, she was going to stew the chicken with chestnuts, make an egg custard, and cook a big pot of rice to live.

As noon approached, the smell of chicken wafted out of the kitchen, causing the women in the room to salivate.

"What is this Xue'er doing, why is it so fragrant?"

Zhang raised his eyes and said casually: "It's hard for everyone to help make clothes today, I asked Xue'er to kill the chickens." ”

In the countryside, it is not necessary to pay someone to make clothes, but you have to take care of the food, and the food must not be bad.

When a group of women heard that they eat chicken today, they are all delicious, you know, except for the Chinese New Year, ordinary people can only eat meat once a month.

After setting up the meal, Ning Xue'er shouted in the kitchen, "It's time to eat." ”

Then they put down their work and hurried out. As soon as they entered the courtyard, everyone saw a large bowl of chicken on the table, next to which was a large bowl of egg custard, and a lot of rice.

"Sit down, eat more today." When Zhang spoke, everyone was polite and sat down and moved chopsticks.

Ning Xue'er quietly entered the kitchen, filled half a bowl of rice and a little egg custard alive, and dealt with it.

After the meal, after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Ning Xue'er sat in the yard and rested for a while, and then went up the mountain with the basket to collect firewood.

The days are so dull, Ning Xue'er is busy every day, but it is also fulfilling.

However, when people live in the world, there will always be people who are jealous of you. Huo Qianna has seen Ning Xue'er and Zhang Yisheng getting closer and closer these days, and the days are getting better and better, how can she not be in a hurry.

For a few days, Huo Qianna was in a heavy mood and had a hot temper. The little minions who followed her were terrified, for fear that they would provoke her by saying the wrong thing.

On the riverside, Huo Qianna threw stones into the river boredly, and her heart was not happy at all.

"Boss, why don't we go and beat up Ning Xue'er's cheap billet?" A minion asked cautiously.

"Hmph," Huo Qianna snorted coldly and did not speak. The little minion knew that he was not interesting, so he closed his mouth knowingly.

After being reminded by the little minions, Huo Qianna's eyes flashed back to the last time she was by the river, she was beaten by Ning Xue'er and cried bitterly, and she couldn't help but clench her fists. How can you not report it? It's just that right now, Huo Fugui's ears are ringing again and again, Huo Fugui's ears are being heard again and again, I can't go against the Ning family, whoever wants to be disobedient will get out of the house for me.

Huo Qianna took a deep breath, feeling a little indignant in her heart. This Ning Xue'er didn't know what kind of shit luck she had, she was able to escape from Du Yuanwai's hands, and what was even more incredible was that she could still be appreciated by the county magistrate. At this moment, the whole village will look up to her, and it will be even more difficult for her to take revenge.

Huo Qianna's face was so gloomy that she could drip water, Ning Tian'er saw this, her eyes rolled, and she whispered a few words in Huo Qianna's ear.

Huo Qianna listened, her face was a little happy, and she couldn't stop nodding.

A few days later, there was another wave of rumors in Caoqiao Village, and everyone was talking about whether Ning Xue'er was still a yellow flower girl.

Under the big locust tree at the head of the village, several women gathered together and gossiped, "Hey, you said, Ning Xue'er was taken captive by Du Yuanwai, can there still be innocence?" ”

"Yes, after all, the county magistrate personally went out, what can Du Yuanwai do to her?"

"Not necessarily, if the rice has been cooked for a lifetime, then the county commander can't help it."

"It makes sense, it makes sense, they have all entered the Du Mansion, so how can there be a reason not to touch the Du Yuan?"

"Alas, it's a pity, such a good girl, she has lost her innocence, and it is estimated that she will be in trouble in the future."

"Cough, what are you bothering about for others, they Ning Sanfang has fish and meat recently, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing, in my opinion, as long as the dowry is rich in the future, where will they not find their in-laws."

Because of Ning Xue'er's identity, the villagers were quietly behind their backs this time, for fear of offending Ning Xue'er.

At this time, Ning Xue'er didn't know anything, she was busy planting sweet potatoes every day, turning the leaves of sweet potatoes, and taking care of them carefully.

Seeing that the sweet potato leaves are growing more and more dense, Ning Xue'er can still get some sweet potato leaves to fry at home from time to time.

Zhang's heart was on the weaving, and Ning Dazhuang went out early and returned late, so he naturally didn't know what the villagers were talking about.

One day, Ning Xue'er went to Zhang's house to deliver sweet potato leaves, and the honey revealed a little news, but Ning Xue'er didn't take it to heart, she just thought that the villagers chewed their tongues.

The rumors were released for ten days, but Ning Xue'er was not affected at all, and she lived very nourishingly day by day. Huo Qianna saw it, she was in a hurry, she hurriedly came to Ning Tian'er to discuss, what ideas Ning Tian'er could have, she directly said that she wanted to make the rumors more embarrassing.

As a result, this rumor intensified. Some people in the village say that Ning Xue'er is a fox, and she doesn't want her face after she is broken, so she goes directly to seduce the Zhang family. After someone said it, the villagers began to explore carefully, usually up and down the mountain, you can always see Zhang Yisheng and Ning Xueer walking together, a big girl and a young man actually don't shy away from suspicion, just together casually?

In fact, when everyone usually sees the two together, they only think that the two families are close, and the relationship between the children is good, and they really haven't thought about the defense of men and women. However, since the rumor came out, everyone thought about it, and the more they said it, the more unpleasant it became.

As the old saying goes: three people become tigers, and all mouths are golden. When there were many people in the village, everyone believed it. If you want to talk about the last rumor, everyone still has some sympathy for Ning Xue'er, after all, no one wants a good girl who has lost her innocence. But this time, everyone thought that it was Ning Xue'er's water-based poplar, and her conduct was not good, and she couldn't complain about others.

Therefore, this time, the women in the village were bolder, and they spoke unscrupulously, what a cheap embryo, shameless, fox spirit, broken flowers and willows, worshipping the village style, and some people even advocated driving Ning Xueer out of the village.

In short, Ning Xue'er's reputation stinks, which Huo Qianna is happy to see.

When Ning Xue'er stood on the road and others pointed at her, she squinted her eyes, knowing that someone was manipulating her again. She didn't ask much, she only went to Zhang's house, found Zhang Honey, and wanted to ask about the situation.

But who knows, as soon as Honey saw her, she was so nervous that she didn't even let her in the door, and the two talked directly at the door.

"Sister Xue'er, you know everything, right?" Honey glanced at Ning Xue'er carefully.

"What do the people in the village say?"

"They," Honey hesitated, "they speak very ugly, you and your brother don't shy away from suspicion on weekdays, and when someone grabs your pigtails, they scold you all the time, saying that you are .........."

"What do you say about me?" Ning Xue'er looked at the honey indifferently.

Honey bit her lip, "Say that you are a vixen, a broken flower and a willow, you will only seduce men, shameless." ”

Honey's speed of speech has slowed down very slowly, and what she is afraid of is stimulating Ning Xue'er.

However, when Ning Xue'er heard this, she only felt a wave of anger rising from her abdomen to the top of her head.

Anyway, framing a big girl who hasn't gone out for no reason, and the words are so ugly, no matter how good a temper anyone is, they can't stand it.

Ning Xue'er ran home angrily, and called the Zhang family and the Ding family to go to Ning Pozi's house.

When Ning Xue'er tearfully said that someone had made a rumor, Mrs. Ning was so angry that the teacup fell, her good granddaughter was actually ruined, what did these people mean?

"Go, let's go to the village chief, I don't believe it, the village chief doesn't call the shots for us!"

Ning Pozi was about to go to the village chief in a huff.
