51: Tarnished her reputation

The sun is scorching and the breeze is warm.

In the distance, the chirping of sparrows could be heard in the mountains, and the sound was far away.

In the courtyard of Lin's house at the end of the village, there are three large wooden bamboo mats on the ground, and the newly caught rice is spread out on top, exposed to the sun.

Gu Xiaoxiao sat under the tree, holding a bamboo pole in her hand, knocking on the ground from time to time to scare off the birds that came to steal the rice.

Wang Xiulian sat under the eaves, sewing and mending her clothes with needles and threads, while several children held a small wooden stick in the sand at the foot of the courtyard wall of their house, silently writing the gentleman's words over and over again.

"Little sister, the word 'thick' is wrong, it should be like this......"

Lin Erbao wrote down the word stroke by stroke in the sand, Lin Xiaoxi scratched his ears and cheeks and looked at it for a long time, and copied the gourd in the same way.

Looking at the crooked words, Lin Erbao was not angry, he still patiently corrected it, and asked Lin Xiaoxi to write it again.

A few years ago, the family had no money and couldn't afford to buy rice paper and pen and ink, so Xiucai wanted a few children to write and practice more, so he made a sand pit on a whim.

After this was seen by the original body, Jiang Xiucai scolded him fiercely, but he also acquiesced afterwards.

Gu Xiaoxiao propped her chin and looked at a few small dots over there.

Practicing calligraphy in the sand table is not a long-term solution after all.

I still have to go to the town to buy some pen, ink and paper, and let a few children hold the brush and practice calligraphy properly.

"Erbao, is tomorrow the day of the market in the town?"

Lin Erbao thought for a moment and nodded.

"I'll go to town tomorrow to see if Dabao has a letter for us."

Gu Xiaoxiao said as she turned her head to look at Wang Xiulian under the eaves, "You take a few of them to dry the millet tomorrow, stay at home obediently and don't go into the mountains." There are no wild vegetables to dig up in the mountains, and it is in vain to go. ”

"Yes, mother-in-law." Wang Xiulian responded obediently.

The courtyard door was wide open, and a figure walked straight in.

She also has an old hen in her hand.

Gu Xiaoxiao looked at the uninvited guest in front of her, and her face was clearly unwelcome.

"Son, why is his second uncle here?"

Lin Erlao walked under the persimmon tree and looked down at Gu Xiaoxiao who was sitting on the chair, his eyes flickered dimly, which was a bright covetousness.

"A few days ago, my mother-in-law was so offensive to your sister-in-law, there is so much work in the field that there is no time at all, and as soon as the matter at hand is over, I want to bring a chicken to the door to apologize."

Gu Xiaoxiao's expression was faint, "That matter has already passed, so there is no need to come to apologize so solemnly." If the second uncle wants nothing else, please come back, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and if you stay here for a long time, you will discredit me. ”

Outspoken, unabashedly.

Wang Xiulian carried a stool and moved to sit down beside her.

Several children also came over and surrounded Lin Lao Er in the middle.

"Sister-in-law, I have no ill intentions." Lin Lao Er didn't seem to hear the meaning of the expulsion in the words, and smiled honestly, "I deliberately picked the fattest chicken in the family, if you are really willing to forgive my mother-in-law, accept this chicken." ”

"I accepted the apology, and I forgave my second brother and sister. The hen took it away, and I was not blessed. ”

"If you refuse to accept this chicken, you are unwilling to forgive my mother-in-law..... Unless you take it, I won't leave. ”

After that, Lin Lao Er directly moved a stool and sat down with a big thorn.

Rolling up his sleeves to his shoulders, he was bare-chested, and his trouser legs were pulled up, revealing his strong calves, and he looked like he was at home.

There is not the slightest sense of politeness.

Wang Xiulian lowered her head in shame, her toes scratching the ground.

This second uncle is really shameless, and he actually wants to use this dirty method to tarnish his mother-in-law's reputation......

What should she do......

Pregnant!

Go find Grandpa and Grandma!

Wang Xiulian was so anxious that she was about to stand up, but she was so frightened by Lin Erbao's look that she sat back again.

The little uncle is so scary......

Gu Xiaoxiao's forehead jumped suddenly, and she had a bad premonition.

The dynasties in this book pay the most attention to honor, and the folk customs are also quite conservative, when going out, women should not show their arms on the top and their ankles on the bottom; A man shall not have a bare shoulder, nor shall he show his calves below.

Lin Lao Er's words undoubtedly wanted everyone outside to see that he had a leg with her.

This Lin Lao Er wants to rely on her and ruin her reputation......

She wouldn't let such a treacherous villain succeed!

It's just that before she beckoned Lin Sibao to come over, the little guy had already slipped through the smoke and ran out of the corner of the wall, running faster than a rabbit.

Gu Xiaoxiao: "......"

This kid is very good at calling foreign aid!

Whether it was to call Lin Village Doctor, or to call Li Zhenghe and the village chief, Lin Sibao was at the forefront.

In Gu Xiaoxiao's heart, he raised his big finger at Lin Sibao!

As everyone knows, all this was instructed by Lin Erbao.

Lin Sibao went out for only half a breath, and the aunt next door came over with a basket on her shoulder, and crossed the threshold with a smile on her face.

"Auntie, I heard from your four treasures, you are going to the market tomorrow, and I also have something to do to go to the town, let's ......"

Halfway through the words, seeing Lin Laoer's disheveled appearance, Aunt Ma screamed in fright and turned away.

His cheeks were red, ashamed and angry.

Ma Laohan was about to take a few children to pick up the left ears of rice in the field, and hurriedly ran over when he heard the sound, he glanced at Lin Lao Er in the yard, hurriedly pressed his woman's head in his arms, and scolded angrily: "Lin Lao Er, you pay attention to Lao Tzu!" I want to show my own dew! You're not afraid of being embarrassed, others are afraid of having a needle's eye! ”

Lin Lao Er's face turned red when he heard this, he glanced at Gu Xiaoxiao, and when he saw the other party's expression of eating, his expression stiffened, and he slowly put down his sleeves and trouser legs.

Ma Laohan patted the head of the woman in his arms, and Aunt Ma stood next to her with her head down, glanced cautiously over there, and was relieved to see that the person was dressed.

Ma Laohan's gaze fell on Gu Xiaoxiao's injured leg for a moment, so he quickly took it back, and then stared at Lin Laoer, "When are you not good at coming to the door, you have to pick someone Lin Zhao's leg when he is injured, for fear that others will not be able to see what you are thinking, right?!" ”

At the beginning, no one knew about Lin Lao Xiucai's family.

Originally, he still felt that a slap couldn't make a sound, but it must have been Lin Zhao's move that made people think about it, so that Lin Lao Er surrounded him like a fly.

Now I look at it, but he misunderstood.

This Lin Lao Er is a muddy face!

This dog thing really trampled Lin Zhao's reputation into the mud!

Lin Lao Er's eyes flashed with displeasure, "I'm just here to sit with my sister-in-law, take a look at her injuries, and by the way, make amends for my mother-in-law's unreasonable troubles in the village before, don't use your dirty heart to speculate and slander people." ”

"Huh! Filthy?! ”

Ma Laohan smiled sarcastically, "When it comes to dirty, no one can compare to you, and you don't look at what embarrassing things you were doing just now!" Let me tell you, if you hurt my daughter-in-law with a needle's eye, I will definitely go to your house to ask for an explanation! ”
