Chapter 13: The Enchantress

Following.

Ye Shu'er hadn't woken up yet, but she was woken up by the sound outside, and seeing that Xue Zhi'an was still sleeping soundly, she stepped into bed lightly and didn't bother him.

"Early in the morning, what are you clamoring at my doorstep?"

As soon as Ye Shu'er came out of the room, she heard Zhang's voice at the door of the courtyard, and she was immediately a little worried.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

There was a group of people standing outside the courtyard of the Xue family, and even the village leaders came, which seemed to be not a trivial matter.

"Shu'er, why did you come out, didn't you sleep, right? Go back and sleep again, it's fine. ”

When Zhang saw Ye Shu'er, he immediately looked embarrassed, and nudged Ye Shu'er to let her leave, as if he didn't want her to hear something.

"What to go, you can't go, it's this demon girl who has affected the luck of our village, and she must be driven out today."

It was Aunt Niu who took the lead in speaking, Ye Shu'er was confused when she heard this, when did she become a demon girl? If she is really regarded as a demon girl, she will be sunk in the pond if it is serious.

"What kind of dreams do you say? I'll tear your mouth apart. ”

Without waiting for Ye Shu'er to react, Zhang directly opened his mouth and went back, and when he spoke, the eldest daughter-in-law Song and the second daughter-in-law Li Yumei also walked out of the room after hearing the sound.

"Aunt Niu, you said that Ye Shu'er is a demon girl, is there any evidence?"

Li Zheng got a fish from the Xue family for nothing two days ago, so he naturally went to the Xue family, but now that Aunt Niu said that she has a nose and eyes, he is not good at directly favoring Ye Shu'er.

"What proof do you need for this? His family caught a big pot of fish before, and then caught a wild boar and came back, if it weren't for this demon girl, how could he have it in his family? ”

Aunt Niu opened her eyes and talked nonsense, and Zhang's hands trembled with anger when she heard it.

"Yo, who should I be here early in the morning, it turned out to be you, Aunt Niu? Why didn't you borrow food at my house to fight this idea? Did you go out with your face? Shame on the matter. Li Yumei glanced at Aunt Niu and said sarcastically.

Although she doesn't like Ye Shu'er either, if Aunt Niu really confirms Ye Shu'er's reputation as a demon girl, their family can't hold their heads up in this village.

"You are talking nonsense, I am borrowing food, but this has nothing to do with her being a demon girl, I will drive her out of the village if I say anything today, good luck can't let your Xue family monopolize it."

Aunt Niu listened to Li Yumei's words, a trace of embarrassment flashed on her face, and she immediately changed the topic.

"Don't drive away my daughter-in-law, you bad guy!"

Xue Zhi'an didn't know when he was also woken up, listened a few ears through the door, and ran out of the room with a bucket, and Aunt Niu was splashed with dung like this.

Aunt Niu immediately emitted a stench, and Zhang immediately reacted, and said to Xue Zhi'an with a smile, "Zhi'an, why did you come out too, take your daughter-in-law back to the room." ”

"fool, dare to splash the old lady with dung!" Aunt Niu's body was stained with the smell of night incense, and she was about to pounce on Xue Zhi'an in anger, but she was beaten back by Zhang's with a broom.

"Mother, don't drive away my daughter-in-law." Xue Zhi'an didn't listen to Zhang's words for the first time and immediately complied, but said uneasily.

"Don't worry, my mother is reluctant to drive Shu'er away, take her back to the room to rest first."

Zhang's words reassured Xue Zhi'an, so he put down the bucket and said to Ye Shu'er: "Daughter-in-law, let's go back to the room." ”

Ye Shu'er nodded when she heard this, first fetched water to wash Xue Zhi'an's hands, and then went back to the room with him, Zhang's meaning was obvious, the Xue family would definitely protect her to the end in this matter, and Ye Shu'er couldn't help but be a little moved.

"Aunt Niu, hurry up and go back and wash your stinky mouth, by the way, I also wash your stinky mouth, my Shu'er is not a demon girl, she is the treasure of my whole family, if you dare to talk nonsense, I will definitely not be able to spare you!"

When Ye Shu'er and Xue Zhi'an returned to the room, Zhang pinched his nose and said to Aunt Niu that her Xue Zhi'an was so polite that he was forced to splash people with dung, and Zhang was angry when he thought about it.

"You wait for me, don't think that because there is a fool in the family, everyone has to let you."

Aunt Niu was ashamed and angry, and was about to go home after speaking, but before she could take a step, Zhang kicked her directly on the buttocks, and Aunt Niu instantly stumbled and fell to the ground.

"You! How dare you kick me! ”

"What's wrong with kicking you? If you dare to scold my family again, I will go directly to get a needle and thread to sew it on your mouth, and I will do what I say. ”

Zhang's momentum made Aunt Niu shrink her neck, she didn't dare to say anything, she got up early in the morning, but she suffered a dumb loss, Aunt Niu's nose was crooked, she glared at Zhang's eyes fiercely and wanted to scold a few more words and was afraid of Zhang's momentum, where did she dare to scold again, and ran home with a roll.

"Everyone disperse, let's disperse, there's nothing to see, Aunt Niu has nerves early in the morning, don't believe her words."

At this point, Li Zheng had already understood the ins and outs of the matter, and helped the Zhang family persuade the villagers who had gathered to see the excitement away.

"Big sister, it's not me saying you, if there is something good in the family in the future, hide it, so as not to be exploited by someone with a heart."

After the villagers dispersed, Li Zheng said to Zhang.

"What you said is that I will pay attention to it in the future."

Zhang Shile said, and then asked Song to cut some pork, and he had to take it home for Li Zheng.

"I can't ask for this, this meat is so expensive, you can keep it for yourself."

Li Zheng naturally refused to say anything, but when Zhang saw this, he directly stuffed the meat into his hand.

"You have to take this meat for everything, if you weren't here today, Aunt Niu would have turned my family upside down, thank you for taking care of it."

"Cheng, I'll take this meat back, if you need help in the future, just say it."

Zhang's words were beautiful, and Li Zheng couldn't refute her face, so he happily took the pork home.

"Old man, go and cut two more pieces of meat, you and one of the second family send some back to your mother's house, speaking of which, you haven't been back for a long time to see, let's put the work at home today, and do it tomorrow."

Zhang was very satisfied with Li Yumei's move to stand up for Ye Shu'er, and said when she returned to the courtyard.

"Okay, thank you."

Li Yumei instantly closed her mouth happily, if her mother's family knew that she brought meat back, they would definitely praise her for her ability.

"Thank you, remember that in the future, you will have to protect your family like today."

After Zhang finished speaking, he went to put the rest of the pork in the cellar and hung it, and by the way, cut a small piece of it down, and prepared to cook meat porridge in the morning to eat.

When Ye Shu'er and Xue Zhi'an cleaned up, the Zhang family also made breakfast.

"Shu'er, don't worry, you are a member of the family, you have a mother, and you won't be bullied by anyone if you say anything."

During breakfast, Zhang specially added an egg to Ye Shuer and Xue Zhi'an.

"Mother, I see."

How could Ye Shu'er not be at ease, the Xue family is all good people, so she is naturally relieved.

Zhang was still reluctant to let Ye Shuer work, and when Ye Shuer saw this, she rushed into the room and continued to complete the unfinished embroidery work.

On the other side, Aunt Niu returned home, and it took several buckets of water to wash her body, and she washed her clothes several times, and she had a fever at night, and she hated the Xue family even more in her heart, but because of the shrew of the Zhang family, she didn't dare to trouble the Xue family openly, so angry that a circle of blisters appeared at the corners of her mouth.

The Xue family naturally didn't know Aunt Niu's thoughts, as the saying goes, people sit at home, and the pot comes from the sky.

In the past two days, Ye Shuer finally finished all the embroidery she brought back from the embroidery workshop, and told Zhang that she needed to go to the town.

"Shu'er, my mother can't spare time in the past two days, or I'll ask anyone in the village who is going to the town in the next two days, and you will come along."

"Mother, don't worry, I can go by myself."

Seeing Zhang's embarrassed face, Ye Shuer immediately said sensibly, it is about to be winter, there are indeed a lot of things to do at home, and Zhang's has never been willing to let her work, and the work at home naturally falls on Zhang's own head.

"That's not good, you little girl, you look so rare, what can you do if you meet bad people on the road, I don't worry."

Zhang directly rejected Ye Shu'er's proposal without thinking about it, and then went to the village to ask from house to house, and someone really happened to go to the town to sell herbs, so he arranged for Ye Shu'er to go to the town with Aunt Zhao.
