Even if you make fun of her, you can come openly, and she doesn't bother to deal with it anyway.

They stared at her, and Du Ruo didn't hesitate at all, staring back, but there was anger and disdain in the eyes of those people.

Du Ruo was a little strange, she didn't offend them, most of the people in the village were not looking for trouble for no reason, and they wouldn't deliberately get along with anyone.

When she walked in front of them with a calm face, everyone present instantly quieted down, and their eyes fell on Du Ruo's body, and one of the women said, "Du Rulan! What are you doing today?! ”

Du Ruo was stopped coldly, stopped and looked at them, "I went to Yunshui Embroidery Village." ”

An old man sneered, "Just you? What are you doing in Embroidery?! ”

"Work in the embroidery village." Du Ruo said calmly.

Someone laughed, and another woman said, "You don't know anything, what do you do?" What else would you do besides cutting out paper?! ”

Du Ruo looked at their mocking faces, and complained in her heart about Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang didn't have a door on her lips on weekdays, why didn't Mrs. Wang go to Yunshui Embroidery Village to work and publicize it?

"What do you care about what I do? It's okay, I'm going home! Du Ruo said with a cold face.

At this time, a woman turned her head to the child sitting next to her and said, "You go and call Shui Ning's father and mother to come over, and say that Du Rulan has come back from outside!" Let them come over quickly! ”

The boy got up from the ground and ran away, like a gust of wind.

Du Ruo looked at them in confusion, and was about to raise her feet to leave, but two people stopped in front of her.

"You can't go!"

"Du Rulan, you are so bold! What are you pretending to be if your face is not red and your heart is not beating?! ”

Du Ruo saw that the dozen or so villagers sitting on the ground all stood up, gathered around her, and looked at her angrily, "What's wrong with me?" ”

"Did you take away the Shui Ning family's cattle and sell them?!" The woman who had just asked her to call for someone questioned her.

"She stole it!"

"Thief mother! Dead nature does not change! ”

Du Ruo was taken aback and looked at them in disbelief, "I didn't steal, get out of the way!" I'm going home! She snapped.

But those people couldn't listen to any explanation from her at all, and they all said their own things, one by one, they were indignant, and scolded Du Ruo, and said it.

Soon, Shui Ning's father and mother came, as soon as she saw Du Ruo, Shui Ning's mother raised her hand and was about to hit her, but was stopped by an older person and persuaded her not to fight first.

Besides, they are all from a village, and if they are spread out, the old Song family will not be able to be a person, and they will be private if they can be private.

Shui Ning's father was still a little sensible, and glared at Du Ruo and said: "Our cow didn't watch it in the morning, and ran out of the house, and it was impossible to find it after a while. ”

Du Ruo finally figured out what happened, but he was shocked enough, "Who saw me take it away?" She asked, suppressing her anger.

Shui Ning her father hesitated for a moment and didn't know whether to say it or not, but her mother couldn't help but say loudly: "Hong Sheng said it!" He saw you lead the cow out of the village with his own eyes! Don't try to be cunning! ”

Hong Sheng? It's Hong Sheng again!

Hong Si'er's family is really on the back of the Song family!

Du Ruo couldn't stop sneering in his heart, and he was very angry.

"You told him to confront me! I didn't steal it, I didn't steal it, or we'll face off in court! Du Ruo said.

Everyone looked at each other, and Shui Ning's mother pointed at her and scolded: "What a slut! In vain I have spoken for you before, you sold the cattle! We haven't searched all the places around here where cattle are slaughtered! Maybe she has been killed and skinned......" Speaking of this, she couldn't help crying, choking up: "Your cow died yesterday, and you stole someone else's!" Is there any reason for heaven......"

Du Ruo's chest was full of anger, but he still tried his best to calm himself, "I really didn't steal the cow, you can't find it and you can't blame me, what Hong Sheng said is not credible, he almost pinned me into the river and drowned me last time, if you still don't believe me, then go to the yamen!" ”

After she finished speaking, everyone started talking again, you and him, and the voice was noisy.

There were more and more people around, and Du Ruo was trapped in the middle and couldn't get out.

Suddenly, a villager said, "Search her!" She must have sold the cow with money! ”

"That's right! Frisk! ”

Du Ruo looked at them with a shocked face, in front of so many people, they were too good at abusing Du Shi, right?

Shui Ning's father glanced at her mother, and her mother immediately grabbed Du Ruo with the other two women.

Du Ruo struggled to push them away, but was grabbed by the arms of the other two women, they held her stubbornly and refused to let go, their hands were very strong, and under the gaze of everyone, Shui Ning and the two women touched around rudely.

"Found it!" A woman pulled a money bag out of her cuff and said loudly.

Shui Ning took it and poured it out and counted: thirteen taels of silver!

Everyone looked at her with disgust, as if the matter had been settled.

"That's my own money, I earned it by working outside, you're going too far!" Du Ruo shouted angrily, those people had already let go of her, and her angry body couldn't help shaking.

The twelve taels in the money bag were settled by Qingyang Temple, and one tael was rewarded by Meng Ye.

"A cow can be sold for so much money! You still say you didn't steal the cow! ”

"It's not once or twice that you steal something, Hong Sheng also saw you sneaking through Zhou Ning's mother-in-law's window into her house!"

"Since you married into the Song family, the Song family has been living day by day!"

"How can there be a woman like you? We can't accommodate you in Donggou Village! ! ”

"Sao Fox! Dressing up like this doesn't necessarily mean that you can't do anything good to go to Gunan Town! ”

“……”

“……”

Rao is no matter how strong Du Ruo's heart is, he can't calm down at all in the face of these hurtful words.

When a person is at a loss for words and is accused by everyone, it is like a drowning person desperately struggling to get out of the water, but being kicked into the water by the people on the shore one after another.

"What's wrong?!" Someone outside the crowd asked loudly, it was Han Liang.

He was tall and long, and when he stood outside, he tiptoed to see Du Rulan, who was surrounded in the middle and scolded by everyone, so he squeezed through the crowd and walked in, "What happened?" He asked again, turning his head to look at Du Ruo, and found that she was biting her lip hard, her eyes hateful.

"They said I had stolen the ox, but I didn't, so they searched me and robbed me of the money, saying that I had sold the cattle." Du Ruo quickly said a few words and listened to him.

Han Liang glanced around, and everyone gradually quieted down at this time.

"Han Liang, you have a good relationship with the Song family, since this cow has been sold, and the Shui Ning family has also got the silver, you can bring the Du family back!" To be honest, this mother-in-law can't stay in our village anymore! I don't know how many disasters will come in the future! "An older humane.

"Which of you saw Du stealing cattle?" Han Liang asked.

"Hong Sheng saw it!"

Han Liang couldn't help frowning, and looked at Du Ruo again, "Sister-in-law, you really didn't steal?" ”

"No, I earned this silver in the embroidery village." Du Ruo settled down a little.

Han Liang thought for a while, quickly snatched the money bag in Shui Ning's mother's hand, handed it to Du Ruo, and said to everyone: "You also believe Hong Sheng's words!" Du Shi does work in the embroidery village, if you are not satisfied, go to the government to complain! So many people bully others, what is it! ”

As he spoke, he pushed the people on the side away, squeezed out a way, and let Du Ruo follow him out.

The villagers behind shouted loudly, wanting to stop them from leaving, but they were afraid that Han Liang would make a move, after all, he was so strong that he might not be able to stop him.

Seeing the two leaving, Shui Ning and her mother cried, and the villagers felt that their family was very pitiful, and they couldn't help but scold Du Rulan.

Back at home, Song Ju'an was chopping firewood in the yard, and when he saw Han Liang coming in with her, he was a little puzzled.

Du Ruo kept a calm face and went straight into the house.

Han Liang stood in the courtyard, quickly told Song Ju'an what had just happened, and said in a low voice: "Master, they said that the Du family stole the cattle to sell, but this silver was probably earned by her painting in Qingyang Temple, and I took it back for her, they said that the Du family climbed in from Zhou Ning's mother-in-law's window to steal things, you and I both know, in fact, she has been secretly taking care of Zhou Ning's mother-in-law for the past few days, I think she is wronged......"

So...... He helped her......

Song Ju'an glanced at the door of the West House and said to Han Liang, "You go back first!" ”

"What if they come back to the house?" Han Liang was a little worried.

"It's fine."

Han Liang nodded and walked outside.

Song Ju'an picked up the split and piled it up on the edge of the east wall, cleaned the sawdust on the ground, washed his hands, and walked into the West House.

He saw Du Ruo leaning on the bed, motionless, staring at the money bag in his hand expressionlessly.

"Mother has cooked the meal, let's go eat." Song Ju'an said.

"I'm not eating."

She simply took off her shoes and sat down on the bed, still leaning on the edge of the bed.

But soon she remembered something, quickly got out of bed, walked to the bed, got a wooden comb, and walked back.

She untied her long hair and combed it again and again with a wooden comb, still with a waveless and sullen face.

Song Ju'an turned around and went out.

After a long time, someone outside the hospital shouted, maybe it was Shui Ning's father and mother who came to find it. Du Ruo listened carefully to the voices outside, Song Ju'an seemed to go out and say something to the people outside, but without saying a few words, the people outside left.

It was getting dark, and the things in the house were getting worse and harder.

Cai and Song Ju'an were eating and talking in the hall.

Du Ruo sat a little stiff, moved her body, leaned the pillow on it, and pulled a strand of hair around her fingers.

After a while, Song Ju'an walked in with a kerosene lamp, put the oil lamp on the table, glanced at her, and turned around and went out again. When he came back, he had a bowl of porridge and a plate of pickles, and pancakes on top of the dishes.

"Aren't you hungry?" He asked her.
